The Psionicle, Part V

[GnomeWorks]

A tent and trail rations should be very easy to find. Antitoxin is a technological item (0th or 1st level device), so you'll have to visit the shop to find some.

As for the scentbreaker... maybe. You'll have to ask around for it. I'm not sure if you'll be able to find it.

Psionic weapons are made by a psion in the east end of town. An old psion guy, he focuses on power stones, tattoos, and dorjes. The stuff is very expensive, though - double or so the normal cost, and (usually) triple the standard for dorjes. He has limited XP to work with, so he is careful in what he makes.

There are no 'Kreen weapons for sale. Few save the wall guards have ever seen a 'Kreen weapon, much less an actual 'Kreen (a few have, but a random person off the street probably hasn't).

All this is information that can be easily gotten off the street from a passing person. If you want to find anything in particular, or would like more information, you'll need to make a Gather Information check and tell me what you're doing and asking for.

The gnome speaks up, "Honestly I don't understand why people like gems, they're shiny and all but they're no where near how beautiful a good device can be. The intricacies there are much more complex and sublime that I'm sure anyone can appreciate."

He then sighs, "But I do suppose anything that would help on this mission would do, I'm sorry if I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Nicodemus, Niko for short, I'm from the Coldlands myself and am one of the many technologists from there."

Osius

"A pleasure to meet you, Niko." Osius will then introduce himself and the rest of the company.

Trusting in Jansson to take care of selling the gems and gear, Osius will go wander about town, looking for supplies* and to learn as much about the town as he can.

To the psionic members of the troupe: "I plan on making a few encoded stones of Lesser Body Adjustment. If anyone wants to trade for comparable ones, this is a good time to make them before we depart."

*Since it looks like we won't be departing in less than the next 24 hours, Osius will try to buy a few cheap gemstones and will use Encode Stone to make a Lesser Body Adjustment stone (1 day, 12.5 gold cost, 1 experience point).
He also wants to purchase a Masterwork sling and 20 masterwork sling bullets, but that'll take more money than he has available so will need to wait until after Jansson splits the loot.

Syld comes down the stairs from his room just before the assorted companions come in. He listens to the conversation.
"I think I'll just wait for the meeting and meditate. Altho, I could use some rations. Jansson, you wouldn't mind getting me some too? I'll pay of course."

 

[Jarval]

"Certainly Syld. Do any of the rest of you want for any equipment? If so, give me a list of what you need, and I'll see what I can find."

 

[GnomeWorks]

Osius - you manage to find a jeweller on the other end of town, willing to sell you three cracked gemstones (blue, green-white, and jet) for 5 gold. They are poor quality, but look like they'll hold a power or two, given a little work.

You can begin construction of the powerstone immediately, once you return to the Ace.

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

"If you don't mind, i'll be off visiting Tristam's shop." Niko proceeds to go to the shop, looking for any technological devices or schematics he can purchase. "Also, when I'm back, I'd like to see the gun that Tristam left you, I should be able to make something for it that will help its wielder."

(How much time would it take to create another reloader?)

 

[GnomeWorks]

Niko - you could conceivably find schematics for all mechanical and armament devices up to 2nd level, and chemistry up to 1st. You won't find any energy schematics.

You could find any mechanical and armament devices, but no chemistry or energy devices. The shop is limited in what it can actually produce, although the apprentices there pass the time by drawing schematics.

Building a reloader would probably take a few hours.

BTW - the gun had been dropped off at the shop, IIRC. Jansson had given it to Tristam.

---

As Niko enters the shop, one of the two apprentices remaining there, a young dwarven woman, approaches him.

"Niko!" She says, elatedly. "What is it that you need?"

 

[Zhure]

Osius

"Jansson, I'd appreciate if you'd pick me up a masterwork sling and a score of masterwork bullets out of my share. I don't think I'll be needing anything else for the trip. These gems should do just fine."

Osius then returns to his room at the Ace and begins encoding the first one with Lesser Body Adjustment.

 

[Dalamar]

"Thanks Jansson. I need... 3 days rations, that'll take me to full week. Just remember to buy small size."
Syld gives Jansson a little grin and then leaves to his room to meditate.
