Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

[The Bashar]

Hrimr takes the gold and the armour from Kirio.

"Thanks. We all did well tonight. Things turned out better than expected."

Hrimr then goes to Arnir with the armour.

"Could you identify the enchantment of this armour? I could try myself, but I'm really no good at this sort of thing."

Lars is delighted to learn that the crossbow is magical and he claims it as well as the potion of flying.

Lars then broaches the subject of their next adventure, "Well, I think it would be foolish to assume that the dragon is good-hearted. We can't go and see her with the egg. We will have to negotiate a trade, egg for Lyre, before she learns where it is."

Arnir's eyes narrow as he collects the wand, staff and amulet and heads home with the others, taking his share of the gold happily. The bonding ceremony put him out of pocket considerably, and this is a welcome boost to his coffers.

Back at the house, Arnir takes the i. armor from Hrmir and sets it beside the ii. Crossbow, iii. Long Spear, iv. Amulet, v. Wand. Yawning sleepily, he says "I will identify these items on the morrow. For now, I need some rest....I still feel the effects of that wound...Would any of you mind tending to it?"

OOC: Arnir is at 22/25HP, having not fully recovered from being dead, and not quite healed from the cutlass weilding thug. Regarding Beanor, one of two things happens: If no one protests, Arnir slits the mage's throat and dumps his body into the bear's cage, taking the spellbook with him. If there is any protest to this course of action, he gives the mage a strong warning that he doesn't want to see him again......And takes the book anyway.

[The Bashar]

Hrimr casts a healing spell on Arnir's wounds.

"Thanks for identifying the armour. Sleep well."

 

[digimattic]

Arnir is up bright an early, needing only a couple hours of rest each night. Heading down to the table where the assorted items are, Arnir casts a spell to aid in his identification and then racks his brain trying to decypher the magical auras for each.

At dawn, the party rises. Today is Thoril, the 17th of Feruvia.

Lowduke is already awake and sitting cross legged on his fur cloak by the hearth. Ghar lays next to him and dozes. A thin layer of pipe smoke hangs at ceiling height. Without turning around he mumbles a good morning and lets you get to your business of planning your next steps.

GM: Sorry, some of these are out of order. In an attempt to fix it, I made it more confusing (hence all the ignores above). Anyway, NEW DAY! lol

 

[Gregor]

Arnir, you array the loot on the table in the main room and identify the following:

The wand contains 4 charges of the spell Detect Thoughts (caster level 3rd).

The amulet is an Amulet of Natural Armor +1

The armor is made from a magically treated carapace of an Ankheg. As such it is a +1 Breastplate and ignores 1 point of acid damage dealt to the wearer. The material itself weighs just as much as steel but has 1/2 the hardness and hit points.

The Longspear is a named weapon. It is called the Spear of the Wayward Scout (mechanically its a +1 Longspear). The three raven feathers are actually Bird Feather Tokens which can be removed and activated once the command word of "Illu-Thirvash" is spoken - an elven word meaning 'fly with haste'. If not used immediately once removed from the spear, the feather crumbles to dust (i.e. they cannot be removed and sold).

The crossbow is a +1 Light Crossbow.

The value of the staff is unknown to you, but it has no magical properties.

GM: There is also a bag of four gems and the three pieces of art (the bronzed dire wolf skull, gold tipped horn and lion skin rug) which would require appraising to know the value.

Kirio gets up early, has a tea and then plays the flute quietly in the corner for about half an hour, thinking and letting the day and the task ahead form in his mind...

He eventually gets up and joins the others once they are all up "Well... now the hard part." he winks at Lowduke. He sits down with a bit of bread and cheese "To fill you in a bit, we've been commissioned by the council to secure a Lyre of Building to aid in the providing housing for the refugees. As it is there is nowhere to put them, and more arrive everyday. Before you ask we are now doing it out of the kindness of our hearts, but for continued use of this dwelling, access to the lyceum and monetary recompense... of which you get a share of course should you remain with us and share in the risks." He pauses and chews a bit...

"We knew you stole her egg, we also know that the adult mama dragon you enraged happens to possess a Lyre of Building. So we now have something she wants and vice versa, better, but we're still talking about an enraged adult dragon who also happens to revel in battle and has slightly singed elf on her list of favorite appetizers. The task is relatively simple, we give her back the egg in exchange for the Lyre... or at least try and convince her that this would be a good thing. I suggest we approach her... indirectly, and inform her that we are willing to retrieve her egg in exchange for said Lyre. You actually gave us a means of doing this with that lovely spear; the Bird Feather Tokens can be used to send her a written note, proposing the exchange. Ballsy but better than trying to ransom her, or going there in person to begin with... what do you all think?"
