The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter II

[Velmont]

"Perhaps Seidlewood could use the short sword."

"Sielwoodan... but if I had to choose something from al that, yes, it would be the short sword. I favor light weapon, as many archer, as the are less cumbersome, pretty usefull when you are corner and have less space to fight, and with a little time, I'll be able to master it better than a long sword or an axe."

Calenthang follows Andreas back to the inn and takes a seat at the table. As his companions discuss the divying of the spoils, he leans back in his chair and smiles at nothing in particular.
"My friends, I don't think we should worry about 'fairness,' but more of what benefits who the most. I, for one, can not be benefitted by any of these items more than others... That's not to say the money isn't good," he adds with a laugh, ordering a glass of wine.

Listening as Andreas tells them all of items Mother Grundy had identified, Ayden waits awhile before throwing his two coppers in on the issue as well.

"For those who do not draw from what Mother Grundy has divined for us tonight, I think it is only fair they be given first choice of what remains, as there is still much to be examined. Perhaps almost too much for simple folk as ourselves..."

Looking at the ring on the table and those around him, Ayden placed his finger on the edge of the ring and slid it toward Andreas.

"While you may be the only one who can activate the wand, if you are not alive to do so then it is merely a piece of wood to us, I think you should take this as well."

 

[Jarval]

"If no-one has any objections to this idea, I will gladly take the ring as well." Andreas picks it up from the table, sliding it onto the middle finger of his left hand.

"On the matter of the other items, there are a number of items of a magical nature of who's purpose I am still unsure. And I have yet to examine the items we took from Ssirine for any traces of magical energy. As we only have twenty platinum and twenty gold now, we can afford to identify no more that two of these items."

Having finished speaking, Andreas again cast detect magic, scrutinizing all the items he has yet to check. Once again, he'll take his time to gather all the information he can.

The two wands and bracers all radiate magic. The bracers stand out as conjurative, as well as one of the wands. The other one radiates enchantment magic. The two potions, one from Ssirine, and the other from the stash Drogo found in the storeroom (OOC: He did pool that with the rest of the stuff didn't he? ) are abjurative, and trasmutative, respectively.

OOC:Is that everything? Or did I miss something?

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo

"Well, if we don't know what it is, it doesn't do us much good. Let's let Ayden carry the rest. We'll get it identified later. Meanwhile, let's plan our swamp forray. I think the only other thing we wanted to bring was a letter from the councel denouncing the dam's construction, asking for the violence to stop & promising goodwill going forward."

 

[Seonaid]

Chastity joins the group when her preparations and prayers are completed. She nods at Drogo's comment. "It would be good to end this bit of evil."

 

[Verbatim]

"Well, if Mother Grundy has anymore of her special mix to keep the swamp bugs away, I say we buy some more of that also in the morning. I do not wish to be eaten alive before we even get the chance to speak with the lizardmen."

 

[Seonaid]

Chastity smiles. "Well, then, are we set? We leave first thing in the morning?" [Forgive me if I've lost track of the time of day.]

 

[Jarval]

"The wands are unusable until we establish their command words." Andreas says, once finished sorting through the items. "We might be able to establish the functions of the bracers and the sword through experimentation, while the potions and the dust may well have a monetary value less than the cost of divining their uses.

"As Drogo says, once we have a letter from the town council (and suitable supplies from Mother Grundy, of course) we should return to the swamp, and hopefully make peaceful contact. And as Chastity says, we can do little until the morrow. Gods know, I'm quite fatigued by the day's events."
