The Necromancer's Skull (Judge - covaithe)

[JRYoung]

OOC: I checked the posts, Trevor has the rib.

 

[Velmont]

OOC: Sorry, I though the skull and the rib was in teh same sack, so I though you had it.

Trevor takes the bag at his balt and put it on the table. Using his dagger, he open it and reveal it. "So, what kind of magic can enchant a bone? It looked like the original bone of the necromancer."

 

[garyh]

Latanos takes a long look at the onyx bone, then dons thick gloves made of some sort of scaled material and gently picks up the bone, turning it this way and that.

"This most certainly is a dark necromantic item," Latanos finally says. "This was indeed a bone of Skelleks, and it took many evil and unnatural acts to turn it into this blasphemous object. I will, of course, not speak of these acts, as it is our mission here to rid the world of such things, but I will say that it aids in the creation of undead."

"That being the case, I am most certainly interested in acquiring it from you. I will pay your group an additional 25 platinum in exchange, doubling your reward for your efforts. I believe you will find that a fair offer."

 

[JRYoung]

"Mossst generousss" Skalisss responds with a bow.

 

[Brain]

Vixo nods his agreement, looking at the others.

 

[Velmont]

"That sounds as a fair price, considering I wouldn't use the residium we could get for the dischantment." tells Trevor.

 

[garyh]

"Excellent," Latanos replies. Once more, he draws forth another twenty-five platinum pieces, weighs them, and stacks five of them onto each of the five stacks of five already on the desk.

"You have done a great service for the Temple," Latanos continues. "Keep your eye on our repossessions board, for I foresee future opportunities for you to serve us again. Thanks to you all, and may it be many years before you are greeted by the Lord of Death."

Vixo pockets his money and offers his hand to the priest. "Thanks for the job! It's great that we can get those nasty items out of circulation."

 

[JRYoung]

OOC: Well done Garyh, it has been a blast! Thank you.

Skalisss nods to Lantanos. "We give our thanksss to the Lord of the Dead, we all live in hisss ssshadow." And he prepares to take his leave with his friends.
