[QUOTE="Lejaun, post: 6826625, member: 6814580"] The way the original poster stated how he described the items makes it seem almost like there is nothing anymore special to it than the armor. The players should have been given a better idea that the ring and gauntlet were more than just part of a set of armor. The ring in particular wouldn't really be part of any armor set usually, so it should have been noticed in particular, even if it was "stuck" to the gauntlets. I think you ended up making things a bit more clever than they should have been. The players should have known that the items were of high significance and not something that that would be casually sold for gold. Even with the vague description you gave them, the players obviously didn't mean to sell the gauntlets and ring, as they said that they wanted to get them checked out, but you said it was too late and they were sold. The blacksmith, who you claim didn't know anything about the items, now suddenly knows that they are more valuable than he paid for? Seems way shady and reeks of vindictiveness for a player who is innattentive. It's a move that is not going to make the players very happy (towards the DM) and that type of thing can kill a campaign and player enthusiasm. [/QUOTE]
