The Crux of the Matter

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK=OOC]I'ev look at the other. Vanitri got a slight decrease in combat, Ashnar become stronger and more agile (maybe he will be able to aim his ray now ) and Tenebrynn lose much strength and even some Con Just as if he had too much HP.[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: And Laynie got +10 Strength, -4 Con, +6 Dex, kind of arranged similarly to Tenebrynn's physical stats before the swap, but higher all around by a tad. So, continuing onward?)

 

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK=OOC]It's fine with me, but Rinaldo suggest to float. a few milimeter from the ground. Most liekly there is no traps, but in case that someone have put a presure plate trap in this astral plane ??? batter be very cautious [/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Yeah, nobody else has responded in over 24 hours. Should we wait to see if they want to use items or something?)

 

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK=OOC]Sure... by the way, Rinaldo and Hogarth migt use some, but we don't have an exhaustive list of all item gathered.

And by the way, to Ashnar damnation, Rinaldo will have taken the Deck and hope to sell it for high price But isn't the deck suppose to dissapear once you've drawn from it?

We had for list up to now:
We have found:
- amultes (How many)
- rings (How many)
- Brassiere
- a length of obsidian topped with a skull with rubies for eyes
- crystalline orb of some sort
- a staff of ebony and gold
- a small slender rod-like object with a coiling pattern around it topped by a sapphire
- a pair of stylish ladies' shoes
- a sort of combination dress/robe for the lady wizard with a sense of style
- a silvery shield

But Rinaldo gathered some, risking his life and Valeria's too, hope it worth it! And thinking of it, is Hogarth or Rinaldo aware of the curse that hang on Valeria?[/SBLOCK]

(OOC: The Deck doesn't want to leave the nice Wild Magic room--it suits its temperament. When Rinaldo tries to take it out, it just vanishes and reappears in the room

Rinaldo noticed that weird thing when he spoke that I mentioned that seemed to lend an air of gravity to his statements, but the exact application is unclear)

*Rinaldo now has:

- amuletsx2 (technically one looks more like a magic amulet, the other more like a fashionable necklace)
- ringsx3
- Brassiere
- a length of obsidian topped with a skull with rubies for eyes
- crystalline orb of some sort
- a staff of ebony and gold
- a small slender rod-like object with a coiling pattern around it topped by a sapphire
- a pair of stylish ladies' shoes
- a sort of combination dress/robe for the lady wizard with a sense of style
- a silvery shield
- a shortsword that gleams as if with morning light
- a lovely sash, great to accessorise
- a corset
- a pair of elegant bracelets
- a thin platinum circlet
- a slender fluted wand
- a small scroll case that seems to hold vast quantities of scrolls
- an enchanted flute with unknown mystical properties; the flute bears two symbols, one of which Laynie recognises as the sigil of the Magequeen and her royal family
- an enchanted gem, a dusty rose quartz of sorts
- a plush kitty doll*


*Also, he has:

-A Jade circlet that is nonmagical

-Gold dust
-A small piece of sheet iron
-An ivory plaque
-A mirror of finely wrought and highly polished silver with ~10 feet of surface area*

(OOC: All in all, a pretty good haul. I mean come on, what's a wife's life worth these days? 5000 GP?)

 

[Velmont]

OOC: Rinaldo won't risk to play with too much items he doesn't know, but knowing that he might fall again on creature that need magical weapon, will use the short sword for now. Once all is identified and put value to them, we will split it.

(OOC: Yeah, I figured as much Alright, lessee)

*Vanitri's three cards:

On the first card is a stately but not overly martial woman in plate armour with a winged helmet. She holds a cup as she approaches a stream. She bears a passing resemblance to Termina, though her medium colouring is somewhat different.

On the second card, which is reversed, is a majestic figure wearing princely headgear regarding the broad world from a height. He holds one wand and regards a globe, while another wand is nearby.

The final card holds the Wheel of Fortune. It rotates eternally, bringing the great to naught and the humble to power, for a time. Descending on the left is an evil demonic creature; ascending is a canine-headed being. Yet with another turn of the Wheel, the ascendent will descend and the descendant will ascend. Resting atop the Wheel yet undisturbed by its rotations is a sphinx casually holding a sword. Four winged apocalyptic beings occupy the corners of the field.*

(OOC: The first card symbolises an ally. The second card gives him a -1 penalty on saving throws against fear effects and despair effects. The Wheel of Fortune is a major arcana--Vanitri gains a permanent +2 luck bonus on all saving throws and an appropriate clearly-fated-for-him item (which is just about to turn up in Ashna and Rinaldo's search!). The luck bonus is tied to the item--if he sells it or gives it away to someone else, the item will be lost or destroyed before he can complete the transaction. If the item is destroyed by this or any other means, the luck bonus also fades.)

OOC: Woho! Other than the -1 penalty I wonder what the Ally does? Does the item take a slot? or no?

OOC: Woho! Other than the -1 penalty I wonder what the Ally does? Does the item take a slot? or no?

(OOC: The item? You figure it out--look at the list of items and pick it out )
