THE DUNGEON: (1) Out of Whistle

Vertiss moves to the door, opening it briefly, allowing Takote to exit.
returning to the others, he Seals the Box and fiddles with the Lock (where nobody else can see what he is doing). Turning to you he says I WILL BE A MERE MOMENT,THERE IS FRESH WATER IN THE PITCHER FOR YOUR REFRESHMENT,I TAKE NOTHING STRONGER,SO I HOPE WATER IS ALL RIGHT.' Vertiss then goes to the far wall and, after it opens (similarly to the Front Door), goes through. Minutes pass, nearly a quarter hour before Vertiss returns.
The Gunsmith bears a long box, black and locked with stout locks. Setting this upon the table, he opens it (with Keys on a long chain bound to his belt), motioning for you to look inside.

Within are several parcels, wrapped in cloth. Opening these, Vertiss displays two finely made Pistols and one long Rifle.

Vertiss says 'THE PRICES ARE AS FOLLOWS; THE TWO SMALLER WEAPONS ARE 750 GOLD PIECES EACH,THE RIFLE IS 1200 GOLD PIECES.ALL ARE OF THE FINEST QUALITY, I ASSURE YOU.INCLUDED IS A SCORE <20> OF ROUNDS AND POWDER FOR EACH.


OoC:Stats are from the Quintessential.

Wheelock Pistols (2)

Small Weapon Dam:1D10 Crit 20/X3 Rng 50' 4lbs 2 round reload

Wheelock Rifle

Medium Weapon Dam:1S12 Crit 20/X3 Rng 100' 11 lbs. 2 rounds to reload

OoC: The rules in the DMG (pg162) are incredibly unrealistic as far as reloading times goes(I have a flintlock pistol, and it takes far longer than 1 round to load them). The Wheelock above is the best of three ignition options in the Quint fighter book (matchlock and flintlock as well).
the other 2 take much longer. I am also using an optional rule (Mine) that Firearms, because of their incredible hitting power, will reduce the armor value of a target (worn armor) by from 2-4.I'll play with it a bit to see what seems fair.
It still requires the Exotic Weapon Proficiency Feat to use Firearms.

OOC: I was praying for a miracle in the form of a revolver, but oh well.

"Hmm..." She looks at the pistol. "Hmm...not bad at all. I think we only have enough money to afford one of the Pistols. If we find the coin, I'll likely come back for the other two. But this one will do for now." She nods. "And I assume by the time we return you may have upgraded your merchandise too, right?"

OOC: Whee! A gun! Too bad I need to wait until 9th level for the feat, but it's an emergency thing.
 

Kazareen is wandering the room and touching everything. Wow what's this? he says holding up a metal box with 2 slots on top and strange coiled metal inside. OOH! this is neat he says putting the toaster down and picking up a green ring with a lantern motif on it.
 

Aska turns back to Kazareen. "If you get us thrown out of here without my pistol, you are sooooo dead. Now put down that ring!"

OOC: How much for the ring?
 

Vertiss senses your less-than-happy demeanor
'I DO HAVE ONE OTHER FOR SALE, BUT THE PRICE IS RATHER HIGH. RAKA-EESA HAS THE SENTENCE OF DEATH UPON ANY WHO MAKE WEAPONS MORE ADVANCED THAN THESE, LITTLE MISS.WAIT A SECOND.' Vertiss reaches into the box and depresses something within. You all hear a tiny 'click' and a panel slides open, from which he withdraws another parcel. Opening it up, the weapon before you seems similar, except for the addition of a cylinder and small lever attached near the trigger.
'THIS IS A PERCUSSION PISTOL,MUCH FASTER THAN THE WHEELOCK,AND WITH BETTER RANGE AS WELL.TO CARRY ONE IS A DEATH SENTENCE,BE SURE OF THAT> THE DRAGON BROOKS NO DISOBEDIANCE.THE PRICE IS 1500GP.I HAVE 18 SHOTS FOR IT,I COULD PREPARE MORE AT LENGTH

OoC:Percussion Pistols were the next jump past Wheelocks (American Civil War Era).

Percussion Pistol
Small Weapon 1D10 Crit 20/X3 Range Increment 60'
Load 1 Action per Cylinder (6 total), but once loaded, you may fire at your base attack as normal without reloading. You load the Percussion Cap, the the ball and a lever 'marries' them together.

Aska's mouth drops open. As she stares at the gun, she occasionally mouths "Oh Gond" silently. Saliva is running from her mouth. When she finally regains her speech abilities, she manages "Could...could you...like...reserve it for me? I don't...I can't...not enough...gold...must have...gwah...just...the pistol...for now...oh Gond...so...so perfect...must get..." She continues babbling to herself for some time.
 

Kaz walks up holding a huge war hammer and says Who's thor? and how much for the shield with the star in the middle and the rings of white and red?
[OOC: sorry I just can't help myself ]:p
 

Vertiss nods, lifting a Pistol out, followed by a bag of shells and a horn of Powder.
ONE PISTOL IT IS, I WILL HAVE THE PERCUSSION PISTOL A WHILE YET,I THINK,FEAR NOT.' Vertiss awaits to see if you need anything else. If not, he retrieves your Weapons from the Strongbox and wishes you well in your endeavors.

Aska, the Pistol is yours for 750 GP.

OoC: Are you folks finished here?

IC and Outside:

Takote waits in the Hallway,his Honor and senses telling him not to relinquish his Arms, as his Ancestors would not approve.This part of the City seems very busy with clandestine goings on, as small secretive groups (often with concealed faces)go about their business. It is not unlike visiting the lands of The Scorpion back in Rokugan.
 


OOC: I assume I got gun cleaning equipment, right?

Aska holds her new gun in her hands, and point it at things not unlike a child does with a toy gun. She strikes the coolest poses she can think of, and then goes back to staring at it.
"I think...maybe we should try to take whatever food we can get here."
