Shades of Netheril (Forgotten Realms) (268)

[Uriel]

(OoC to Jemal: I'm not an Old Man!!! I'm a young Dwarf. )
'Old!?! I'm not even a hundred, you daft pup! As our two racesrecon things, I'm probably younger than you! Haha!'
Jasper grins through a soot covered beard.'Besides, It's not my fault if you damned humans expire so soon. Old indeed!' Jasper suddenly becomes aware of his appearance and starts grumbling to himself as he futilely tries to clean up on the way to see the Constables.

 

[Jemal]

OOC to Jasper: All dwarves are old!
IC:
Alexander listens to the conversation between the two dessert men with interest then turns to grin at Jaspers indignation, unable to say anything for fear that he'll start laughing. He follows the guards with his sword and shield sheathed.

'Most likely,' pipes in Arcanra, "it will be a spell to discern whether or not we speak the truth. A simple matter, for we speak truthfully."

 

[Felvon Tavor]

As you walk deeper into the town, Resonath makes small talk with Sul'Dan, and catches up on old times. It becomes apparent that he grew up in the Anauroch desert, (a little way to the north) and moved to more 'civilized' lands in search of gold, water, and employment. Shortly, you arrive at a temple devoted to Ilmater. Your party (and prisoner) is brought in under heavy guard. Every member of the party is seperated and sent with one guard to a sparsely furnished room. A priest comes into each room, and casts a spell on you. He/she then asks you to explain your story, and how there came to be three dead bodies in the shop, including that of a highly respected war mage of Cormyr.

Well Arcanra has nothing to hide. I tell them the absolute truth.

 

[EvilMountainDew]

Tores speaks quickly, leaving nothing out and stressing exciting parts, almost re-living them/

 

[Jemal]

Alexander Matter-of-factly and truthfully recounts everything that happened since we arrived in town. (Except he calls the sceptre an 'item of some power, supposedly')

 

[Capellan]

I tell the tale in the stype of my people, sitting cross-legged on the floor, my voice rising and falling in cadence as I speak.

I also tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth - starting from when the old man hired us.

After everyone's interrogation, you are regrouped into a center room. On the table in front of you is the sceptre. A cleric in the robes of Ilmater steps into the room. He turns and speaks to the party. "Everyone has been questioned, and we believe that you are genuine. We also believe that the shades are behind this. For those of you not caught up on current events, the shades are Arch-Magi from the Netherese era. They have recently returned to Toril, and have been doing some suspicious activities. Our entire nation would be highly grateful if you would journey into the Anauroch, and try and come up with some idea of what the Shades are up too. Unfortunately, your prisoner..... perished in questioning. Each of you will be rewarded for your courageous actions up to this point by one thousand gold pieces, and the possesion of this sceptre. You will have three days to resupply and rest before you journey into the Anauroch. We wish you luck."

DM'S NOTE: Congradulations, everyone gains a level. We are now in part two, if we want to continue on this thread we can, or we can start a new thread (just put on as an addition to your next set of activities). You will also get 80% DMG prices on any magic items you want to purchase. Be prepared for a long trip, food will be counted, and you might want animals for carrying gear.

 

[Jemal]

This entire post is OOC:

I'ld suggest starting a new thread. Call it 'part 2'

Oh, and we can go update our characters now?
And I'm assuming by 80% DMG prices you mean we pay 80% of the listed price (IE Ring of Sustenance is normally 2500 but we would pay 2000 b/c 2500 X 0.8 = 2000)

EDIT: Also we have to figure out a few things regarding money. We've still got the 3000GP diamond and the 200 PP that he gave us before the shop blew, and now 1000 EACH from the crown.

were we going to just split the pp/diamond evenly or were we going to go with the 1 extra share for communal needs? Either way, the total money our 'group' has at this point from these things (Assuming we can sell or trade the diamond for its 3000 GP worth) would be: 10,000 GP
(Diamond = 3000, 200 PP = 2000 GP, 1000 eachX5=5000. total=10,000GP)
That could either be 2,000GP each or if we do the 6 shares it would be 1700 for each of us and 1500 for the 'pot'.
