For the Cure Light Wound Wands with unlimited charges I never ran across this, a gaming buddy of mine mentioned it once when he calculated out how much it would cost to be made. When he mentioned 4000 GP all of us looked dumbfounded at him and wondered why we never thought of these ourselves. Needless to say next time we have about 4 days to kill in a town we are going to get one of these commissioned, if now two of them.

Zerthilore, Githzerai Ranger/Monk [Alternate]
Character Background
An inititiate of the Emerald Dawn Monastery, Zerthilore is training in the art of the bow, as a central focus in his physical and spiritual development. Like most monasteries, Emerald Dawn also teaches hand to hand combat. However, they believe that the concentration required to perfectly aim a bow is a good start to the mental and spiritual enlightenment they seek.
Zerthilore has alway chafed at the power of his race, as despite substantial training he believes his powers to be trivial in comparison to the majority of his fellows at the monastery. In an effort to correct this unfortunate inbalance, Zerthilore set out to master one of the more difficult inner disciplines that most Githzerai can achieve: the art of planar travel. Without informing his teachers or seeking their guidance, Zerthilore began to spend the majority of his time outside of lessons in deep meditation. He was certain if he could master this ability, he would have the respect of his peers.
Of course, given his current state of enlightenment, Zerthilore was far to untrained to master this skill. Even worse, his stubborness was such that he did not completely fail. After many attempts, each hours long, Zerthilore was able to temporarilly awaken that portion of his mind controlling that ancient ability of his race. Seizing the moment, he attempted to travel from his home plane to Mechanus (or some other plane if that one isn't in the cosmology.)
This experiment was so premature that Zerthilore was knocked unconcious by the strain, and when he awoke he found himself to be on a plane that not only wasn't Mechanus, it wasn't even anyplace he had ever heard of!
[I'll leave it to the DM whether I encounter the party a few weeks later, or whether they find me while I'm still unconcious, or something in between.]

Ok, not to get too bogged down with this, but I want to know if you all want Delmar to pick up the potions and wand at Pelor's Temple. It's half off but we runs the risk of leaking information.
If anyone wants to try some sort of ruse or bald faced lie, that's fine, but Delmar's useless for such a thing.

Thane's willing to let Delmar buy the potions. The easiest way to lie, I've found, is to misrepresent the truth... that way you're not actually lying. As an example, he'd urge Delmar to simply tell his contemporaries that he's purchasing these potions on behalf of a visiting Imerial Knight (himself). No harm in letting small info like that out.

Thane's idea is sound. Just tell him reasonable half-truths. I don't think you are obligated to explain all to a known gossip. Perhaps another of us could go with you to keep up enough chatter to distract him. If he likes to gossip perhaps we can go on the offensive and get him talking about others. That way we might even learn something useful.
