The Sudden Approach of Unexplainable Power: IC

[unleashed]

“Oh, well I’m really just out to see the world, but when I perceive an unjust situation I feel compelled to do something to help. I guess it’s just my upbringing...” Aekalos replies nonchalantly, though he knows it also has something to do with his draconic blood.

Letting his statement hang in the air for a few seconds, Aekalos asks, “So why don’t you leave, if they continue to take advantage of you like that?”

 

[Nonlethal Force]

The half-orc woman replies, "And do what? All I know how to do is to make a hot fire, melt metal, and hit things with a hammer. Most places that have need of a blacksmith already have one."

 

[unleashed]

“Well, I can’t say whether you’re right or wrong on that score, as I’ve not been through many places hereabout yet, but surely there must be a better place somewhere. I’ll keep an eye out in my travels, if you’d like a change though...” Aekalos offers with a smile.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

The half-orc smiles. "Well, I think I'd like a change, actually. Of course, I'd also need to talk this over with my sister. I doubt she'd want to stay. She's the prettier one - she gets used more than I do ..."

 

[unleashed]

“Yes... well, the faster we’re finished here, the sooner I can begin looking for a better place for you both,” Aekalos offers, as he walks beside the woman.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

A fair time later, Aekalos and the half-orc arrive back at the outskirts of the forest beside her shop. Errast has shown no sign of awakening. The half-orc looks down to him and then smiles. "I can retreive some better rope and some tools to improve the sled. Unfortuantely it does not look like your friend here is going to wake up anytime soon. Is there anything else you would like from my shop?"

 

[unleashed]

“Hmm, apart from taking a look at the stones they’ve given you, I can’t really think of anything... though truth be told, I didn’t really look around your shop when I was there earlier,” Aekalos replies with a chuckle.

When she heads back to her shop, Aekalos takes the chance to examine Errast’s and Maris’ items with detect magic while he waits... including the items he took from Errast earlier.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

She replies, "Okay, tools and the stones, then."

Upon her departure, Aekalos is able to determine that both the scrolls and the wand (found in Errast's hidden pocket) are magical.

Upon further inspection, it appears that both Errast and Maris wore magical cloaks, and assuming he studies them long enough he gets the impression that the magic within them is mild.

Maris also carried a few potions on her. Her sword does not appear to be magical, but it does appear to be of a fine make.

Aekalos is also able to find 3 amethyst, a jade, and a half dozen gold pieces in Maris' posession.

 

[unleashed]

Putting the potions and money in his pouch for safekeeping, he leaves everything else where it is for the moment.

“Why did you do it Errast?” Aekalos mutters, as he checks on his condition.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

Errast seems to be slightly better than the last time Aekalos checked on him, but he is still quite unconscious.

After a little while the half-orc woman returns with some tools and some better rope. Her sister has returned with her. "We can spare a little rope and a few bolts to make the sled more functional. Any word on the wounded one?"
