The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter IV

Dunstand sees Ayden wrap the Naga eggs in his cloak.
"I hoop you guys know a good place where we can leave them, I my self have no clue of how to care for baby naga’s. Just know that who ever that wants to destroy the eggs will have to go trough me first, I don’t mind killing but I won’t condone the killing of children.”

In the Naga's treasure room Dunstand lets out a loud laugh,
When he sees Teleri stare at the sword he places a hand on her shoulder, training to break the swords spell.
“If it calls to you that strongly you should take it, some times you choose the weapon, but if you’re lucky the weapon chooses you.”

"When I chose to walk as a priest of my uncle, I also vowed that I would help protect those who he has taken under his wing. Finder is a patron to all serpent races, and as such, I must do all I can to make sure that they be given a chance to choose their own path. Naamani and the Broken Axe clan are living proof that not all lizard folk are evil. Hopefully, she can instill in these hatchlings the virtues that allow her to seek peace instead of war. Tomorrow, I will seek her out once more and offer her the eggs, if she turns them down, I will send a letter to the high priestess in the Lost Vale and inform her of the situation. I am confident that she will take the eggs in, as she is a saurial herself."

Walking behind the others, Ayden was caught off guard at the treasure Tyrinth had amassed.

~Or is this all simply what Applebottom stored here with her, confident that she would kill anyone who came down here?~

Closing his eyes, Ayden touched his holy symbol and asked Finder to grant him the ability to detect magical auras in the room.
 

"Oooh, nice..." Andreas says as he spots the longbow. He makes his way over to examine the weapon, admiring the craftsmanship that must have gone into making it. Again he calls on the Weave, enhancing his sight to determine if any of the items carry enchantment.
 

Chastity nods reluctantly, accepting her companions' statements of the naga's evil. Still, she finds it difficult to let the matter go entirely and silently vows once more to be truer to Torm's teachings and the ways of the paladin.

When they find the eggs, she almost leaps at the chance to protect them from the group's wrath, but finds it unnecessary. Torm, you have led me well. I have found true friends on this road, and I will follow your will to the best of my ability. She allows the others to voice her thoughts when Sielwoodan expresses his concern, content in the acknowledgement of her destiny.

In the treasure chamber, her gaze takes it all in calmly, though her thoughts roil. Even Mother and Father wouldn't let this much wealth sit around in the treasury! "So many lives could be bettered by this," she says aloud, gesturing helplessly with one open hand. "I never understood the need to accumulate purposelessly." She frowns and looks more closely at the things, detecting evil as she goes, particularly at the sword Teleri seems fixated upon.
 

Though wanting the sword badly, her own better instincts prevail and waits for Chasity to give her the 'ok, not evil' sign. She really doesn't care if it's magical or not, just so long as it's hers.
Sehahin's grace, that is a beautiful weapon, she thought, grinning at her earlier wish to get out of the stigma of being good bowman, bad socialite dig and laughs softly to herself. "The gods grant wishes in their own way and time it seems,"

She looked at Chasity. "Sometimes creatures collect things out of a mania, others do it as a hobby. I have heard that dragons collect treasure for the pleasure of simply collecting it and calling it theirs. Perhaps this naga had a similar outlook." she looked at the treasure and the skelitons. "Then again, perhaps she was simply a packrat,"

Chastity smiles at Teleri. "I suppose some creatures cannot help but accumulate, but it seems like so much wasted effort to me. I wouldn't want to carry around all of this stuff, even if it is just dragging it back to my home." She shrugs and continues her detect evil perusal.
 

Calenthang pays no heed to Ayden protecting the naga eggs and stands about at the entrance to the room keeping watch with wary eyes.
When the party enters the treasure room, he again stands guard at the entrance. He gives a warm smile at Teleri's hunger for the blade, as she obviously knows a good sword when she sees it.
 

Chastity detects no evil within the chamber, none from the sword specifically either.

Andreas and Ayden's spells reveal each and every piece of mention to be magical of some nature.

OoC: I will get an aura radiation chart written up for you guys sometime early tommorrow morning. ;)
 

Teleri looks at the others. "If no one else would mind, I would truly enjoy having this weapon," she said, pulling it out of the pile of gold. In her hands, it glimmered and even without Andreas' magical detection, she knew it was something special.

She grinned at Calenthang. "The gods have their own way of providing what is needed. I feel that we will need these weapons sometime in the future," she said, indicating both the Vakar blade and the new longsword in her own hands.
