The Lamentation of Lolth - OoC IV

[Verbatim]

All I can say is wow...looks like we will have to talk to Applebottom to see how much of this stuff was his, and the items that were if he knows what enchantments are on them...

Otherwise, we will have to make a large donation to Mother Grundy for her time and efforts, or just let Andreas sweet talk her some more...

 

[Verbatim]

By us killing Tyrinth, we lost a major source of information about our friend Applebottom and Ssirine. How did a corrupt mayor wind up with such powerful friends? We have the journal, which I believe to be Applebottom's, but I could be wrong, which states that the treasure of a kingdom was placed inside the well. Is the sentinent sword it? Very likely, but with the amount of magical items we discovered, it could be any of them, which again leads us back to Applebottom.

I think that perhaps it is time to really question the Mayor and learn who is really behind all of this, showing him that we have discovered the journal, Tyrinth's severed head, and the items from her lair. Hopefully, with all of these things, we can get some answers.

However, if I am dragging you guys too far down in the weeds with all of this, please tell me, and I will back off. I am just enjoying the game so much that my imagination is seeing cloaked figures everywhere trying to lead us astray.

I would say we could divide up the items now, but with the multitude of possible enchantments out there, I think we do need to wait on that.

Sorry for my morning rambles, but just wanted to through a few things out there...

Perhaps the sword might have some answers, if Teleri can pry them out of her. I mean it was stuck in the treasure vault and probably 'saw' and 'heard' alot.

Hmmm. Teleri is due for another feat when she hits fourth level. I'm thinking of something along the lines of Iron will or something that will help her throw off spells like domination more easily. Considering how the BBEG's seem to throw them at her. Any ideas?

 

[Seonaid]

I love it! The sword is great, Majin! I can't wait to see how Teleri and the sword grow together! I also love how willing you are to let us decide how our characters change and how willing you are to implement our suggestions and desires.

Is it possible the kingdom was the dwarves, as Verbatim says? I don't want to be stereotypical, but the warhammer is possibly a clue (when combined with the sword).

As for the plan, can we go back to town now? I think it would be best if we took all of this stuff with us. The eggs should be given to Naamani, unless she won't take them. Other than that, we need to get back and sort out our goods. Identify whatever needs it, give the stuff to whomever wants it, and divide the money equally.

I've never played a paladin before, much less one going for a Book of Exalted Deeds PrC, which means I may be going about this in the wrong way, but I have clear guidelines for Chastity, and they don't involve warhammers. I think she hasn't grown and matured enough (or perhaps she is exactly mature enough) to get past her own ideal of what a paladin of Torm should look and act like. Chastity is going to turn down pretty much anything that isn't in her vision, which is why she hasn't really taken much of the stuff we've recovered so far.

 

[Verbatim]

I can't wait to see how an elvish lass and a dwarvish sword get along. I think one of the other will volunteer to jump into a dragon's throat before it is all over with...

I know Chasity may not want the hammer, but the necromancy part has me hoping that it has something to do with being an undead basher, and since you also have the smite evil ability, that could be mighty potent in your divine hands. However, I do respect your opinion for your IC role, so Ayden may hold onto it just to be safe if it does turn out to be that...*L*

Thanks again all for being such a great group to game with...

 

[kirinke]

LOL at least they seem to have the same kind of humor going on.... That says something. And Teleri is crazy enough to make it work. And her way of dealing with the sword's ego is probably going to involve the '99 bottles of Ale on the wall' bit. if the sword gets too annoying. She's not afraid to go into 'Fido' too if that's what it'll take either

 

[Seonaid]

Oh, Chastity is more than willing to have her companions talk her into things, but they better be good reasons, if she's not already envisioning them.

 

[Verbatim]

Well, as I said, it is just blind speculation, as the necro spell could be anything, but depending on what we find out, Ayden will do his best to sell it to the party member who could best use it. Even if that means trying to convince Sielwoodan to carry a polearm instead of a bow...

Also, I sent Majin an e-mail off list, and he gave me the gold and silver total in the lair. With that much gold, we could either retire for awhile, or definately hire someone Trond would trust with that much gold and send them into Dagger Falls to purchase the scrolls needed to identify the items. What do you guys think? It would save some time unless you guys wanted to RP another trip into Dagger Falls, something that would be groovy also. Just wondering what you guys think...

 

[hippocrachus]

If it involved gem selling, Calenthang would want to personally take it to a certain dealer he happens to know. Loyal to a fault...

 

[Verbatim]

While I do not know if prying the gems off will affect the hammer or not, I have no problem with him taking them off and selling them. Does that mean that Calenthang is going to volunteer to go to Dagger Falls and buy the scrolls if we go that route?
