The Red Hand of Doom!!

Sir Jonathan

Sir Jonathan enters the dark manor behind the others and peers into the shadows calling out, "if you knew we were coming, what do you know of Vraath Keep? We intend to go there and root out the hobgoblins that we assume have taken up residence."

He then adds to his companions, "What dwarven woman? Oh, that was a woman!?"

I would like to stop by the Pelor shrine, if it has an attending priest we might be able to get a wand of CLW there. Also if we are going to the keep and it is inhabited by several dozen hobs, I think stealth would be a good idea. Potions of spiderclimb, a silence spell(from Kirrg), and invisibility(from Virashil), would be good ideas.

"Her beard was rather manly." She says with a wink.

OOC:

Virashil has a wand of invisibility as well as the ability to cast it as a 2nd lvl spell, so we are good in that department.

I think Duroin has a climbers kit, and Kirrg and I have 75' of silk robe between us. Just need to make sure we have a grappling hook and a prepared silence spell.

With the 11 potions of CLW, a wand may not be the most prudent course of action at this point.

As I've already got 3 on my person, you each may want to take 3 or 4 potions of CLW.

As you all enter the building the door slams shut behind you. Your eyes follow the long shadow cast into the fowyer from the next room until you meet its maker. Standing half as tall as a short man is Sertieren the Wise. A Bespectacled Halfling in dark robes whose diminutive form is topped with a dishevelled mop of gray white hair. He stands before a roaring fireplace. Strange though none of you remember smoke coming from the chimney...Was there a chimney?

"Come in come in. Please sit down and enjoy the hearth. It is a bit too early for the ale but I can offer you some tea?"

Duroin grumbles under his breath. "Tea will do..." he says, wishing he had a flask to add a little kick to whatever drink this halfling would be server.

Sir Jonathan

Sir Jonathan gives Durion a little glare, "Tea would be perfect, thank you. Now as my companions had said we are interested in two things. What sort of items of magic do you have for sale, and do you have any information on Vraath Keep?"

"Vraath Keep???" he chuckles. "Only that it is supposed to be haunted...Of course what place isn't?" he says with a wink.
He pours some tea, which has an interesting fruity aroma to it.

"That scroll of web sounds absolutely divine. Do you ever have the opportunity to procure wands?"

OOC:

Any issues with the scroll of web (150gp)? I figure it would be handy for crowd control or keeping big bad evil guys from escaping...

 

[EvolutionKB]

"Yes Virashil, the web scroll sounds like a good idea. Do you think we should take a look at the fireball one as well?" Sir Jonathan looks back at the odd halfling and says, "We do have some magic items to be identified. Three to be exact, the armor I am wearing, this sword sword, and it's match that Duroin is carrying. There is one more thing I am thinking about as well. In our fight with the hobgoblins one was invisible, a Priest of Tiamat. Do you have a way for any of us to see creatures that hide under invisibility, perhaps permanantly?"

Web sounds fine, see OOC thread tomorrow for tactics concerning our assault on the keep.

"That scroll of web sounds absolutely divine. Do you ever have the opportunity to procure wands?"

The little halfling looked perplexed. "Hmm Divine?? No no my dear you are confused. They are Arcane." He says with a wink and a smile. Though you are not entirely sure he is joking.

"As for wands...I never had much use for them. They make wizards a bit lazy don't you think??"

The wizards spits his tea into the air as if it were poison. "Permanently??? I am sorry m'boy..Such things require an expenditure of one's life-force. Dangerous thing to do at best, and beyond the skill of a lowly Hedge Wizard such as myself.
I can however Identify your belongings if you leave them here with me I can have the answer by tomorrow. It would cost...Ohhhh about 125 lions?"
