X4: Master of the Desert Nomads - IC

[kinem]

Rajah detects the following auras:

ring: faint evocation

cloak: faint abjuration

amulet: faint divination

potion: faint conjuration

scrolls: 1 x faint abjuration, 2 x faint conjuration, 1 x faint evocation, 1 x faint illusion

ooc: BTW, that took Rajah a while as he was taking 20 on his spellcraft checks. Actually I noticed he is untrained, but I will allow him to identify auras using detect magic as he no doubt would have tried it many times in the past.

Note that you can also use spellcraft to try to actually identify a potion or scroll, but Rajah lacks the skills to do so.

There is no retry for potions and up to 1 try per day for scrolls. Also, it can sometimes be dangerous to attempt to read a scroll. Anyone want to try?

Sure, Bevin will try! Here are some checks:

Potion (conjuration) (Bevin is +14) = 16 the roll id is 1596657
Scroll #1 (abjuration) (+9 this time, prohibited school) = 20 http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1596658/
Scroll #2 (conjuration) (+14 again) = 33!! http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1596659/
Scroll #3 (second conjuration scroll) (+14) = 18 http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1596664/
Scroll #4 (evocation) (+14) = 22 http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1596668/
Scroll #5 (illusion) (+14) = 30 http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1596670/

OOC: Can Bevin make any checks for the other items?

[sblock=OOC] Based on Rajah's UMD he might be willing to give it a go, although the DC is quite high and he'd only have a 25% (or less) chance of getting it. We'll see how risky he's feeling later. Also, not sure if time's a big factor now, but if not Rajah will use his Charnal Touch ability on himself & Bones to 'heal' them back up to full health.[/sblock]

 

[kinem]

Bevin inspects the potion, sniffs it, and ponders. He has no clue what it is.

By looking over the scrolls and trying to decipher their arcane workings, Bevin is only able to identify two of the scrolls: one being acid arrow and the other mirror image.

In the meantime, Rajah heals himself and his mount.

The sun is settting but there is still a dim red light.

ooc: Will you camp here, continue on the raft, or what? Also, if you camp, what watches will you set?

Bevin says, "Unless someone else here can do better than I did with those scrolls, I'll have another look at them tomorrow. Girgal, you don't look so good, my friend. Would you like to have one of my potions?" Bevin offers Girgal a potion of Cure Serious Wounds.

"Thanks my friend, but I have some healing magics of my own." Girgal answers.

ooc: Girgal uses first his cure light wounds spell, than two charges of his belt and than his lesser vigor wand to heal himself and Ripclaw, sharing the effect when possible. Afterwards, he starts to heal the others with the wand.

 

[kinem]

ooc: I'll say that Girgal uses 6 charges from the wand to help heal the party nearly to full hp. Note that only your own spells can be shared with your animal companion.

So that leaves - divvying of loot; camping; & watches.

 

[renau1g]

Rajah will look at the pile of magical items and say "While I probably can't use any of the scrolls, and I can't identify the properties of the other items. Perhaps we can hold off in dividing them amongst ourselves until we know better what they do? Also, I will be back in a few minutes, I must ask that rider some questions. People are much more cooperative once they're dead."

[sblock=ooc]
Rajah will attempt to cast Speak with Dead (3rd level spell) on the rider. If his alignment is different than Rajah's (CN) then he gets a saving throw, Will DC 20. If it fails he'll cast it up to 6 times, it takes 10 min/casting so it could take a while if the rider makes some good saves. Rajah gets 4 questions to ask.

1) Who sent you?
2) Where you sent for us specifically?
3) What do your belongings do?
4) Where is the Master's base of operations?

Bevin shivers as he thinks about what Rajah is doing out there amongst the dead. "Yeeesh! Brrrr!! He stamps his feet hard against the ground, trembles violently for a moment, and then is okay. He then continues, "I agree that we should wait to divide the spoils until we know more about them, unless, that is, some of us have a pressing need for gold that just can't wait?"
