Errands in Town

"Here." Xankoris passed 12gp to her and asked: "Is there any way to send mail and letter from here to Provincia."

The soldier hands it over. Craft (weaponsmithing) applies, trained only. "To Provincia? Nine Hells, that's far..." she scratches her head. "You could sell it to a traveler headin' east, I s'pose, and hope to get lucky. A courier goin' so far would charge a hefty sum, I imagine. If'n you went to the west coast, might be you could find a ship to take it thataways..."

Craft (weaponsmithing) check: 14. "West coast? Got it."

limar- How much of an investment are we talking and how big is the profit? could it be traced back to me? -will anybody die? I guess he did, he definitely tried to keep the defenders busy while the undead launched a surprise attack. the white an grey part might be in reference to the fact he used to be a paladin then decided to go evil. gather info 14 w/ 1 gold to see if any of the soldiers looted that clockwork insect. -Kraggan do you know any spells to fix largish areas of woodland? the army messed up my mom territory when moving through. Hiskel- no thank you, I'm not much of a weapons kobold, fire an brimstone magic is where the damage is. -and return the book.

Ritt K. said: Craft (weaponsmithing) check: 14. Close-up, you can see that the workmanship is very fine... not quite a masterwork, but the journeyman who made it was better than most. It's very old, too, and made to last. You'd guess that it might have been crafted nearly a century ago, in fact, which makes it very valuable by Rokugani standards, although most northerners like this soldier wouldn't understand that. In another ten years or so, it may fully develop its own kami soul. Josh said: How much of an investment are we talking and how big is the profit? could it be traced back to me? -will anybody die? "Tell you what," the guy says, picking his teeth with a piece of straw. "You put in 100 gold, and I can turn it into 140 by next Sunday." He shrugs to the other questions. "Much is risked in war, they say. You wanna make money, ya gotta take risks. So we got a deal or what?" Josh said: I guess he did, he definitely tried to keep the defenders busy while the undead launched a surprise attack. the white an grey part might be in reference to the fact he used to be a paladin then decided to go evil. " Did he now? A fallen paladin... those are dangerous indeed. Once you've betrayed everything you were, you've nothing left to lose," Kaladesh muses. Selisa pipes up, her voice like silk. "In songs and stories, gray is the color most often associated with fallen paladins. Those who still try to do their duty without seeking atonement are sometimes called 'gray guards', while those who fall even deeper into darkness and make pacts with evil gods become 'blackguards'. It sounds like Silverlime expects this Kendling fellow to pursue conquest rather than pure evil, though. A 'red guard', perhaps?" Kaladesh grins, enjoying her wordplay. "So then, if Kendling is the turncloak who 'makes his own rules', who's the changeling? His master? He's Zorall's warleader, isn't he?" Vanadia Leafblade, the Red King's wild elf priestess, frowns. "Zorall is a red dragon. He's no shapechanger." Josh said: -Kraggan do you know any spells to fix largish areas of woodland? the army messed up my mom territory when moving through. "A plant growth spell could regrow damaged brush and trees in about a 700' radius. It might take several castings to cover a large enough area though, that's a big damn army," Kraggan explains. "In fact, the spell would make the growth pretty thick. It could serve Kalemne as a solid defense in the future." Josh said: no thank you, I'm not much of a weapons kobold, fire an brimstone magic is where the damage is. -and return the book. Frimin shrugs. "Suit yourself. If you change your mind, come by anytime." At the Church of Pelor , Liman accepts the book back that evening while Limar is off scouting the enemy camp. The church is much less busy now, with acolytes sweeping up the mess from the earlier crowds. "Did it help? I know it's a bit of a dry read, but the methods inside are all of a good standard."

limar- heres 10 platinum don't make me come find you. the Changeling is the grizzled one, this riddle was in answer to the question where the next 3 major battles will be. if you would like to copy the transcript i think kraggan has it. the grizzled one waited while kendling did not, quite fortunate since this town would have fallen with out the aid of the red king or terolous armies. she did say it would recover on its own in a season but if you could find the time it would be nice. hiskel- We won't know till I have to use the knowledge, hope it saves someone.

Josh said: heres 10 platinum don't make me come find you. He grins and winks conspiratorially. "You got it, boss. Don'tcha worry, I'll be around." Josh said: the Changeling is the grizzled one, this riddle was in answer to the question where the next 3 major battles will be. if you would like to copy the transcript i think kraggan has it. the grizzled one waited while kendling did not, quite fortunate since this town would have fallen with out the aid of the red king or terolous armies. "Ahh, I see. Because he's a werewolf... that makes sense. Silverlime tells good riddles, perhaps we ought to question his head ourselves, eh Vadania?" She smiles back. "Not a bad idea. Perhaps after the siege is resolved." Josh said: she did say it would recover on its own in a season but if you could find the time it would be nice. "Regrowing forests sounds right up my alley," Kraggan says. "Once Waterwend is safe, I'd love to help." Josh said: We won't know till I have to use the knowledge, hope it saves someone. "I hope so as well," Liman says, patting you encouragingly on the shoulder. You can see that the gold-trimmed hems of his robes are stained with blood, doubtless from treating so many wounded soldiers today.

Hey Kaladesh I heard metallic dragons could shape shift in to humans. can you show me? -how did you come to serve the red king? your pretty young did he hatch you? -what type of breath weapon do copper dragons have? I've got a few meta breaths if you want to compare.

Josh said: Hey Kaladesh I heard metallic dragons could shape shift in to humans. can you show me? Over lunch on Flocktime 11th, Kaladesh shakes his head. "Copper dragons can't do that, only silvers and golds. Besides, why would I want to change this handsome mug?" He grins, posing ridiculously like a mummer knight and drawing more laughter from Selisa and Vadania. Josh  said: -how did you come to serve the red king? your pretty young did he hatch you? "Oh, the King and I go way back" he tells you, pausing for a swig of ale. "We're close to the same age, actually, though of course that doesn't mean much with humans. We dragons are a slowly kindling forgefire, but they flare like explosions--and none brighter than Red. We met years ago when he was just striking out on his own, not long after he found Stormbringer. I had claimed a little stretch of the Hills of Light as my territory, and he challenged me for it. He won the duel, but I was so impressed with his spirit that I offered to trade my service for my lands, and become the first of his companions." Josh  said: -what type of breath weapon do copper dragons have? I've got a few meta breaths if you want to compare. "You've studied metabreathing, eh? That's quite a tricky art to learn... I never tried to fiddle much with mine, but we coppers have two kinds of breath, like most metallic dragons. One is a stream of acid, the other is a cloud of magical gas that slows those who inhale it."

"I think you've been hanging around the Munthreki too long off course to them every dragon is amazing to behold." Limar gives Kaladesh an appraising look - 5 appraise "you snout is a little flat, eyes are a bit crooked ....tails kind of short ." bluff  26  "and of course your copper" "Stormbringer? is that some magic item of is? has he always gone by "the red king"?" "Do you still have your lair in The hills of light? how close is it to the waypoint, the old pelor fort that is. It'll make crafting you a shrine to Astilabor easier" "not really studied more as it came to me naturally after many fights, Adventuring tends to make you stronger."

Josh said: "I think you've been hanging around the Munthreki too long off course to them every dragon is amazing to behold." Limar gives Kaladesh an appraising look - 5 appraise "you snout is a little flat, eyes are a bit crooked ....tails kind of short ." bluff  26  "and of course your copper" "Humbug! I would expect such poor taste from a greenie," he says with mock severity. Craning his neck over towards the enormous construct Hamil (who hasn't been eating or drinking anything), Kaladesh asks "You think I'm gorgeous, right Hammy?" and puckers his scaly lips in an overdramatic offer of a kiss. Hamil moves to swat him aside with a heavy wood and metal hand, but Kaladesh dodges to more laughter from his comrades, their movements so easy that it seems almost choreographed. Josh said: "Stormbringer? is that some magic item of is? has he always gone by "the red king"?" "You've never heard of Stormbringer?" Ederc asks, the deurgar mage looking surprised. "He's a legendary black blade of great power and charisma, who can call down thunder and lightning." Selisa adds, "There are songs going back a thousand years telling of warriors called The Red King who wield Stormbringer. Some scholars believe that the sword helps to shape the mortals who find it to suit the title, but others think it's more of a mantle passed down. There are also tales that the Red King is a single person, immortal and ageless, though only fools believe that one." "Only gods and undead are truly immortal," Vadania Leafblade says confidently. "And warforged," Hamil puts in, his dour voice strangely inhuman. Selisa shakes her head, arguing "That's not true. Queen Lauren of Reluin is centuries old, and hasn't aged a day since the Cataclysm." "Those stories can't possibly be true," Vadania says dismissively, "The current Lauren is probably just the great granddaughter of the first one. The title is what matters, same as our lord of the Red." "And that's the heart of the question, isn't it?" Kaladesh says, shrugging. "Ol' Red's been going by the title as long as anyone's known him. Anyone still alive, anyway. You know what he says when you ask him why he took up the mantle?" "'Because I am  the Red King,'" Hamil answers, and the others nod, all well familiar with this unproductive line of questioning. Josh said: "Do you still have your lair in The hills of light? how close is it to the waypoint, the old pelor fort that is. It'll make crafting you a shrine to Astilabor easier" "Oh yeah, I still hold claim to a few of the western hills," Kaladesh says with a grin. "A few miles southwest of the Fortress. Though I only visit from time to time, when we're not campaigning." Josh said: "not really studied more as it came to me naturally after many fights, Adventuring tends to make you stronger." "That is true," Hamil says, with that strange, hollow burr to the voice generated somewhere inside his unmoving face. "No being is strong who is untested. Travel is the great equalizer, and warfare the great teacher."

There is a lot of things I have never heard off, I'm only 3 and only spent that last year out side of kalmenes territory. He would not be the first ancient shape shifter I've meet. though I do prefer the black blade brain washes people to wage war theory better.

Josh said: There is a lot of things I have never heard off, I'm only 3 and only spent that last year out side of kalmenes territory. He would not be the first ancient shape shifter I've meet. though I do prefer the black blade brain washes people to wage war theory better. "There's no denying that Stormbringer is evil," Kaladesh says confidently, "but a wielder with sufficient will can reign him in. The Red King controls Stormbringer, and uses his evil to do good." "Good, evil... such distinctions are only important to the smallfolk," Ederc says, his posture impeccable as he sips his glass of dark wine. "Our lord is strong, and only strength truly matters in this world." Vadania cuts in, "Strength and change . What Hamil said is true not only of men, but societies. The Catacombs is a nest of rot and stagnation, the three Great Powers locked in stalemate for centuries, and only the Red King has the will to change it."

Josh said: How often do you go campaigning? "We've been set to it pretty steadily for the last couple years, fighting Moonshadow," Kaladesh tells you. "We finally captured her garrison a few days ago, though the bitchqueen herself escaped. The final battle was a sight to see... once we'd fought through to her inner chambers, she starting hitting us with these terrific waves of psychic power, stunning everyone but the Red King. He pushed through them, charged her with Stormbringer, and slashed her open from shoulder to hip. He was about to deal the finishing blow, when this wall of rainbow light blasted up around her. She vanished, only leaving a ring of sigils burned into the floor." "A plane shift ," Ederc says. "It's a psionic power that powerful mindlfayers can develop. She escaped to another plane. She might come back, but it's not a very accurate spell... she could end up with a long journey home, even if she's already back on the Material Plane." "Well, in any case," Kaladesh shrugs, "It seems like we aren't done by a long-shot, now that we've gotten dragged into this war." Josh said: - I gave you a book did you want a wooden holy symbol too? But apparently not enough will to destroy an ancient evil. -which by the way is like the 7th ancient evil in these lands  Iktharlyep, Astarte , the coiled lady ..are there any old goodies around? "Sure, I'll take one. I'd never seen a proper holy symbol of Astilabor, except the one you wear," Kaladesh grins, then his expression grows more serious. "But hey, politics makes for strange bedfellows. Sometimes a harnessed evil is necessary to deal with greater evils." "I don't think the King cares about it either way," Vadania says, rolling her eyes. "He only cares about power. If he does good or evil along the way, so be it." Kaldesh adds "There are a few truly good powers in the Catacombs, like Annak--" but he's cut off by a sharp look from Selisa, her eyes suddenly very snakelike. Sense Motive and Knowledge (nobility & rotalty) apply. Abashed, Kaladesh clears his throat and says "Like, er... the Deathwalkers Guild. I've heard they're feuding with Zanzibar the Mad lately, so I'm not surprised they joined the defense against the Grizzled One. He's Zanzibar's bannerman, after all." Josh said: Beg to differ Ederc good, evil, law, and chaos are very important to the gods as well. Ederc smiles, pleased with your clever rebuttal. "But the gods have only limited power to influence our world, do they not? They can grant spells and powers to their clerics, make pacts with mortals, and hoard the souls of the dead... but many a mighty priestess has fallen beneath the strength of Stormbringer and our Red King. When a man faces death, he learns that what truly mattered was that he sought the path of greatest power." After the battle on the Orthan River, a few hours pass with no further sign of another wave coming. Kraggan patrols along the river in her giant octopoid form, mopping up survivors who got past other towers and taking more captives. Limar is able to confirm from the air that the rest of Gurak and Grizzled One's forces are withdrawing into their warcamp. As the sun rises in a red and cloudy sky, boats of other mercenaries arrive to take their shifts on watch, and conscript guards replace those in the watchboats. Your islet is manned by a human soldier named Greysha Steelborn, a dwarf named Roggek with a raven on his shoulder, and the dragon style kung fu Shifu Mu Sha Zhun of the Deathwalkers. Back in Waterwend, you're fed and healed, debriefed with Hamil, and given time to rest and recover your strength. Kraggan is granted new spells from Ehlonna, and Xankoris is able to recover sufficient magical energy to use the new spells he's been granted by the air kami. Hiskel's scribe has also finished her last 2 copies of The Eternal Hoard .  The weather grows stormy as dark clouds continue to gather during the day, soon turning to rain and then hail, with thunder rumbling and lightning cracking the sky. Over a late lunch with the Deathwalkers and Black Sabbath at The Full Net  while the winds howl outside and hail drums on the roof, you learn that the wave of enemy rafts was quite wide, passing through several other guardtower islets. "We had a lot of trouble with them at ours," Grahm tells you grimly. "Selmidra... didn't make it. One of those damned fiendish bugbears did her in." Their sorceress Polgara, dressed in somber black for a change from her usual revealing outfits, raises her glass. "To Selmidra... she could be cold at times, but she was a true friend." Garion follows suit, adding "She saved me from a ghoul once. Fucker was about to stab me in the back when she cracked him right in the head with that staff of hers." Draz Tinear does the same. "She always did her duty, and never complained of it." Grahm is the last to offer his toast, voice thick with grief. "She gave her life to save the city, and us as well. She crossed the Catacombs with us, fought with us, drank with us. She was our sister, our comrade, our friend. She lived and died a heroine. May Hanseath guide her safely on her final journey." Josh said: -any chance i could get a private audience with the red king? After lunch, you learn that the Red King is deep in council with his officers at the town hall, planning the next sortie. "We're only supposed to let anyone in if it's a matter of dire import. What is it you want to talk to him about?" the door guard asks. Josh said: -Limars goin to stop by the church of Nerule. "cade or welby this time? I've got a boat full of dead bodies waiting to be harvested if your interested in paying for their hearts an brains."  -"can you identify this" tiny skull the size of a pea"? "Wellby," Wellby Underbough tells you dryly. "Unfortunately, the organ trade is totally saturated right now. You've seen how many bodies are piling up by the funeral piers, yeah? Not to mention those floating downriver. I've had graverobbers bringing them in since yesterday. There are just too many sellers and not enough buyers. Sorry, Limar." He takes a look at the skull, though. "Hmmm... this  is something interesting, though. It's a fairy skull. In really tiny fey, the bones become crystalline after a few centuries. Once harvested, they're as valuable as precious gemstones. I'd say thus one is worth a good 60 platinum." Josh said: gather info 3,18  1 gold each looking for that clock work bug stop by merlas to see if she wants to keep the book or not. Sadly, it seems like no one's seen any sign of that clockwork bug yet. When you come in from the rain and shake off, Merla welcomes you with a mug of hot buckwheat tea. "I'm glad to see you're still alive. I heard the battles were rough last night. Some rafts of the invaders even made it ashore, though they say the soldiers on the docks stopped them." "Oh, the book? I've been looking through it a bit, it's fairly interesting so far... give me a week or so to read it fully, and I'll let you know what I think." Josh said: hiskel will ask Siwan how he learned common and if he has his own death elemental language like the other elementals. Xankoris can convey the answer that Siwan whispers in his heart: "I not use words before. Language of death elementals is not words, but life and death. But when I awakened again in Xankoris body, I knew words he knew. Common, Elven, Hànyǔ. I not know how I knew. But I knew."  Spellcraft applies.   Josh said: -wonder over to Aegisfrs " could you take a look at these frimin?" an shows her the sheild, sword and net. put those in the party loot as well as the "76 gold pieces, 128 silver pieces, 59 copper pieces, 22 strange stone coins (appraise 16)" Frimin Moonbook takes a look over the objects with her discerning eye, and casts a spell. Spellcraft applies. "Well..." she says, flipping the shield over slowly in her hands and tugging at the leather grip, "This is definitely magical. I'd need to cast an identification  spell to be sure of what it can do, but judging by the collage it has something to do with magical beasts. Look, here." She shows you the front and indicates each of the creatures painted there in turn: " Basilisk , displacer beast , frost worm , hippogriff , owlbear , roper , sea cat . All magical beasts. That can't be a coincidence. Until I'm sure of its powers, I can't give you an accurate price quote, though." Setting it aside, she runs her fingers over the sword and thorned steel net. "This short sword isn't magical, but it's definitely the work of a master smith, a bugbear unless I miss my guess. The net too. I've only seen woven steel like this a few times before; it's an extremely difficult thing to make. Far stronger than hemp or silk, almost impossible to burst out of or cut once it's caught someone. I'd say the sword is worth a good 310 gold pieces, maybe 500 for the net." The stone coins you recognize as dwarven granite coins from Highhelm, worth 3gp each. I added them to the first post of the Loot thread. As usual, you guys have a couple weeks of real time to stake claims before I split it for you.

Xankoris goes to  The Third Path and buys 4 set of the component for his Divination spell. "Seriously Siwan? Why don't you tell me you can speak Hànyǔ? I always think you only know Common."

Josh said: and after this there will be the forces attacking bowhery, though I dont think your king cares for that small town maybe you'll go an hunt down the remaining forces of moonshadow in litheria finish off Neuromancer. "I'm not sure he cares much for this  town either, to be honest," Vadania says flippantly. "He just wants to fold the defeated armies into our ranks. Gurak's forces are infamously numerous... he's been gathering more and more tribes of goblinoids under his banner, united them as few of his kind ever have. Grizzled One's people are savage, but they follow him because he's a strong leader, and the Red King is stronger still. If he sees a similar opportunity in Bowhery's defense, that might be our next destination. Litheria, though... what do we know about her?" "Vindictive," Ederc supplies. "Her followers spread disease and terror, and many are more than half-mad. And she's rumored to have connections to a very powerful psion... I've heard rumors that one of her more clever followers is a dwarf named Meier who was granted some kind of psionic abilities as a reward for his service." "I doubt the Red King will wish to acquire a diseased army," Hamil says dourly. Vadania shakes her head in agreement. "He's more the type to sink a plague ship before it reaches the harbor. Some men have wills of iron; he has a will of adamantine." Josh said: - I suppose humans might think like that but when I face death I just have to decide if I want to rest or be reincarnated..or I suppose follow the path of falazure, I guess that is a privilege of the strong. "Reincarnated, eh?" Ederc replies with a grim and knowing smile. "You put much faith in your druidic leader. But there may come a dark day when she passes to the next life alongside you. Then you may wish you had sworn your sword to a stronger man." Josh said: well now whose this Annak? old crush of hers? ancient foe? family? With Selisa still glaring him down, Kaladesh gives you an apologetic look. "I should not have said anything. Please, forget the name. A slip of the tongue." Josh said: Just let him know Limar suggests bolstering our numbers via freeing slaves or have the church of Nerul raise some of the dead foes. The door guard nods slowly, seeming a bit wary of you at the mention of reanimating the dead. "I... I will, sir." Josh said: well then have them for free I've got no use for them. maybe raise some of them to help with the fighting. -any clerics of Falazure pass through here? 12 gather info with 1 gold to find more dragon clerics, Limar assisting Hiskel. Wellby shrugs, looking less put together than usual--though that's hardly a surprise, given how busy all the churches have been during the siege. "I don't even have the spare magic to preserve them. But on the plus side, Nerull seems pleased by all the deaths. I'm sure He's been busy leading them to the other side." "Falazure... the Night Dragon, right? Dragon god of decay and undeath? Now that you mention it, I recall a human priest of His visiting about a month ago. I think I recall him mentioning that he was heading northwest, up the Lithid River." The Gather Info will need to wait till the next day, though. Josh said: spellcraft 10. thats interesting, do you know everything Xankoris knows? Again, Siwan answers through Xankoris. "I not know... I know some things I not knew before. Maybe some from Xankoris." Ritt K. said: "Seriously Siwan? Why don't you tell me you can speak Hànyǔ? I always think you only know Common." "You never notice? I always speaking   Hànyǔ inside you."  And with a start, you realize it's true--when he speaks in your heart, it's in Hànyǔ. Perhaps you never took notice because it's your native tongue, or perhaps it's not really in any  language and your mind is only translating some deeper form of communication. The mystery of it is a bit unsettling. Josh said: hiskel- Let me know when you can identify it. "If you want to leave it with me overnight, I can take care of it by tomorrow afternoon," Frimin tells you. "But it'll cost you 140 gold." Josh said: gather info 11 , 1 gold to find a clothes place , she wants to find some fancy eye patches for moonflower Limar tries to assist but fails mostly there to ward off would be assassins. 24 spot to see through any of those goblin disguises. appraise 21 on the 4 anklebone dice appraise 13 on the silver mirror Word seems to be that the best place for nice clothing is Laremie's Fine Clothes . While there, you're helped by a salesgirl. She has some trouble finding eyepatches at first, but eventually tracks down a few in a wardrobe drawer upstairs. One is black leather set with a flat red gemstone in the center, another is frilled pink lace, and the third is burgundy velvet with black trim. "The first should cost about 40 gold pieces, I believe," she tells you, "Given the gemstone setting and all. The other two, 5 gold each." The dice, you estimate to be worth 1sp each. The mirror, 30gp. Ritt K. said: Xankoris goes to  The Third Path and buys 4 set of the component for his Divination spell. In the dimly lit shop, amid hanging rugs with strange patterns and the smell of incense, you're greeted by the soft voice of a human woman. "Come in, come in. I've been expecting you, Asahina Xankoris," she says, her tone carrying strangely. "My name is Shendara." As she turns to face you, you see that her eyes seem to be made of shadow and starlight, like tiny pools of night sky.  She questions you about the nature of your faith, then gathers the cones of incense and silvered feathers needed for your spell. "While you are here, would you like to see a glimpse of what awaits? Or perhaps some advice for the future? I can perform all sorts of readings, for a reasonable fee."

I mean if you only go to war to recruit then that must be limiting, I was just thinking you'd stomp out the remaining shadow moon before they could regroup in that area. jingles his symbol of Astilabor at Ederc."I've not much use for a sword but gold has always proven a useful tool and She is the one to be sworn to for that.

"Is it some sort of spell that allowed the caster to view the great Celestial Pattern and thereby determine the nature of upcoming events? Do you know why every future-telling spell in every clan always generally vague and easily influenced? Because if it really tells everything, they would be unable to affect anything they saw and might be tormented by an inability to act. So if your future-telling is vague enough, I'll try."

Josh said: I mean if you only go to war to recruit then that must be limiting, I was just thinking you'd stomp out the remaining shadow moon before they could regroup in that area. "That's the only reason we're in this  war," Vadania clarifies. "We were fighting with Moonshadow for quite a while, and never had any luck getting her grimlocks to turn cloak." Ederc points out, "She had some sort of psionic hold over them, I'm sure of it. Something deep. The ones we captured were loyal until death. I couldn't work them free of it, even with all my art." "He may have a point about Neuromancer though, we ought to finish her off," Selisa suggests. Hamil shakes his head, though. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. It would be wiser to let Neuromancer and Litheria weaken each other before we step in. Especially now that we hold Moonshadow's territory, and neither of them can go to ground in their home turf." Josh said: jingles his symbol of Astilabor at Ederc."I've not much use for a sword but gold has always proven a useful tool and She is the one to be sworn to for that. " - I dont think we meet when I came to the red king who are you?  - how strong is this ederc? "Well said," Kaladesh laughs. "Enough gold can buy you strong friends." Ederc smiles, his beard well-groomed for a deurgar. "Ederc Lodenerr, psion and landscape painter." He seems about as powerful as Kraggan. Josh said: -any idea how much a resurrection  would cost? Euphemia might give us a discount. appraise 5. You're not sure... thousands of gold, at least. You know that the Deathwalkers had their guildmaster Oskar resurrected , though. Josh said: did you happen to get their name or know who did? be easier to send a messenger after them. a description would help to. Wellby rubs his neck, thinking hard. "Something with a K... Klaude? Klaws? Klaus? ...I think it was Klaus. Young man, black hair, rather fat. I recall now that he said he was looking for a power named Grimgrin, a troglodyte shaman." Knowledge (nobility & royalty) applies. Josh said: -Siwan would you be able to tell if someone else had a part of the death elemental in them like xankoris? there were a lot of assassins at that fight and many others killed by it as well. "I think so... can sense death nearby, and death elemental is most concentrated death,"  Siwan answers through Xankoris. Josh said: - hold on to those for me.I need to go see if moonflower has gotten her eye fixed and would want these first. "Er... yes... ma'am? I'll set them aside. We don't get much call for them anyhows, though," the salesgirl says. Ritt K. said: "Is it some sort of spell that allowed the caster to view the great Celestial Pattern and thereby determine the nature of upcoming events? Do you know why every future-telling spell in every clan always generally vague and easily influenced? Because if it really tells everything, they would be unable to affect anything they saw and might be tormented by an inability to act. So if your future-telling is vague enough, I'll try." Shendara smiles mysteriously. "You're from Rokugan? Or one of the offshoots who settled in the Kingdom of Provincia, perhaps... I've studied divination techniques from around the world." Leading you into the back room, she takes a seat behind a round table laden with an oddly pattened silk cloth. "But you're right. Perfect foresight is not a gift, but a curse--as rare as it is terrible. I do not bear that curse. The things I see in your future are only likelihoods, that you may still act to change. So, what would you prefer? Tarot cards? Tea leaves? Casting of bones?"

Josh said: knowledge nobility 16 +3 if catacomb related. 22 gather info,1 gold to find messengers heading northwest towards this grimgrins area if possible. You've heard of Grimgrin, a troglodyte priest of Laogzed. He's said to be a follower of Ishconn, and to lead a large troglodyte band in the northwestern Catacombs. They raid settlements up there periodically, especially in the winter time, and many of them ride great fiendish lizards. Many of his strongest followers are rumored to have a false tooth or eye made of black gemstones. The Gather Info check will need to wait till the next day. Josh said: Nice to meet you ederc. -did we get a report on the numbers gurak lost? I know the wayfinders an ice nine took out near 200. "The pleasure is all mine," Ederc replies politely, sipping his wine. Hamil drones "The last reports we recieved showed enemy losses numbering nearly 400, a very heavy blow. On our side, fewer than a hundred casualties." Ederc nods, adding "If I know the Red King, he's probably formulating a plan of counterattack now. Gurak seriously underestimated our river defenses, and the time is ripe to strike back while our numbers are more evened out." Josh said: Hiskel goes to check up on moonflower. Moonflower wasn't at lunch with the rest of her guild, but Viktor tells you that she's recuperating at the Temple of Yondalla.  Shaking the rain off your robes as you enter the Temple, you find Moonflower resting on a cot in a recovery room with other wounded soldiers. Her head is bandaged, covering her left eye, and she has bandages over wounds on her arms and torso as well. "You're sweet to come visit me," she says with a tired smile. "The priestesses have been taking good care of me, and my guildmates were all here earlier... but they're so rowdy, one of the nurses shooed them out," she laughs, then winces and holds her side where a binding wraps some broken ribs. "I think I may be out of the siege, though. These wounds will take some time to properly heal." Ritt K. said: "I like tea, guess I'll tea leaves method then." As she stokes the small fire in her stove and sets a pot of water to boil, Shendara begins to tell you about this particular method of divination. "Tasseography has its roots in the tradition of reading drops of melted wax or lead as they harden in cool water. But as sea traders from Rokugan begin to import tea to Oerik, fortune-tellers found that the more personal connection formed by the drinking helped to amplify the temporal resonance."  She sets a cup and saucer on the table in front of you, puts in a pinch of chopped, dry tea leaves, and pours in the steaming hot water to let it steep for a minute, continuing: "Much of the symbology remains from those old days, though we have refined our skill over time. Few nonmagical divinations are as potent. Haruspicy can compare well, as the lifeforce of the sacrificed beast provides great energy. Now, drink the full cup, save a few drops, and we shall see what the fates have in store for you." Once you've nearly drained the cup, Shendara draws it back across the table, swirls the last spoonful of tea three times counterclockwise, and carefully turns it over onto the saucer. She waits for the last of the tea to drain into the saucer, then flips the cup slowly back over and moves it to the center of the table so you can both peer into it at the pattern of leaves stuck to the enameled white inside. "The leaves are read starting near the handle," she explains, the glimmers of starlight moving slowly in her shadowed eyesockets. "I see a scythe just to the right of it, there... the symbol of death. But the position speaks of your present, not your future. Death walks with you." She looks up at you for a long moment, curious and unsettled, but continues with the reading. "Next is the rim, events that will occur within a week or so. I see... a cloud? or perhaps a bed... hmm. An important dream will come to you. You should pay heed to your dreams this week. There's a scroll here, too... a message, perhaps? And... what is this... a skyline? Buildings... a town aflame. Perhaps the fall of a city." She points to each of the vague patterns as she goes, working her way downwards towards the bottom of the cup. The leaves don't look like much to you, but as she describes each symbol, you can sort of see what she means, like seeing shapes in the clouds. "Further afuture, in coming weeks, I see a bolt of lightning. A storm, mayhaps. And lips with a finger across them... a secret, well-hidden. A secret hidden in a storm? How interesting. I'm not sure what to make of that. Beyond that, months ahead, I see a skull wreathed in flame. The unholy symbol of Wee Jas. A symbol of death and magic, and justice... or justice poisoned by vanity: revenge. Be twice wary of followers of Wee Jas, I think it means--one may coming seeking vengeance upon you." At last she sits back, letting out a long, slow breath. "There is much strife in your future, Xankoris. I would not wish to live such an interesting life."

Josh said: If your not planning on doing anything with the bodies are there any among your flock i could pay to collect them all and build a pyre for them? I would like to avoid sending so many dead downriver to fuel rithes army. Wellby blinks, and looks thoughtful. "I hadn't really considered that... I can't say I'd like to see my hometown sacked, but the creation of undead is a sacrament to Nerull." After pondering this over for a time, he shrugs. "If they come back as undead, so be it. Besides, my brother and I should be able to take control of those who try to come after our Church." Josh said: -Will find a carpenter to add a box to the bottom of the shrine of bahamut so offerings won't go flying in the wind. - "I asked for no storms what gives mr north wind." limar puts a gold coin on the altar " there is more of that once this storm goes away." The acolytes that Hamanap trained to help look after the shrine disapprove of this idea. "The wind is how lord Bahamut takes his offerings," one tells you. "To seal them away would be a disrespect." Josh said: hiskel- I didnt know it was that bad, I just wanted to see if you would need an eye patch or if you got your eye fixed. would you like some books or anything for your resting time? "An eye patch, eh? Wouldn't that look dashing... the priestesses helped seal up the wound, but they told me that the damage was too severe to regrow it. I'd need a regeneration  spell from a powerful cleric." She shrugs. "What can you do, though? Such is life. I'd rather lose an eye than a friend like Xankoris. He reminds me of my late husband..." "But anyway, sure, I'd love some books. The only ones they have here are about Yondallan scripture and medicine... not really my bag," she says, making a face. Ritt K. said: "All the incoming strife are going to make me stronger, but if the city's going to fall, hope I broke before the city did.

"100 gold for the materials, 20 for the reading," she says, still glancing warily at the cup that held such dangerous premonitions, then looking up distractedly and blushing a bit at the compliment. "I lost my eyes to a sickness when I was a child. These," she gestures to the glimmering, shadowy mist that fills the space where they should be, "were the result of a game I played with a powerful demon. It's hard to remember what normal sight was like after all these years, but my vision now is definitely... different. Weaker in some ways, wider in others." Ritt K. said: Max said: In the early evening, when the streets are muddied and strewn with hail and the rain is swirling on cold gusts, word spreads around that the weather is too severe to expect an attack tonight, so all the defenders should take the chance to rest and prepare for the next battle to come.

Was that your strongest form or you can be stronger than that?' "I remember... I was born in middle of city, with people fight and shout all around. I not know then what city is, or what people are. I just know that I death, and they life. My nature to give death and eat life. When I eat life, I grow--bigger, stronger. I think if I keep eating life, I kept growing... I even eaten your life. But then I  die, and not know anything until I start wake up inside you."

Limar finds a nice place to wait out the weather. hiskel-  well I've got "A Text on Essential Abjuration" and "Followers of the Love Goddess" on hand if ethier of those strike your fancy if not i'll go see what the pawn shop has. -as for eye patches Laremies fine clothes has a few. there is one with a red gemstone on black leather, those colors do not go well in my opinion. then the frilly pink lace one, if thats your style and finally a velvety one with black trim. she's willing to hold on to them if you want to wait to see them your self. hiskel will also start using 2 level 0 spells for a level 1 tenser disk to carry her items  buy a 25 gp chest an use one of limar simple locks got it  and get her self some small leather armor. 10gp.

Limar wants to pick up 1 acid flask and 2 holy waters  hiskel suggests the party pays for a dismissal scroll to deal with what ever fiend gurrak summons 

Josh said: Limar wants to pick up 1 acid flask and 2 holy waters  hiskel suggests the party pays for a dismissal scroll to deal with what ever fiend gurrak summons The holy waters are easy to find, all the good-aligned churches, like the  Temple of Yondalla , are selling them at cost (plus tax) for 26gp, 2sp, 5cp each.  The acid flasks are a bit tougher. Stumbleduck's Reagents, Nostrums, & Whathaveyou  has been sold out of most offensive alchemical devices for days. Jackson's  is too, and the Caravan Market (half empty) has none left either. You hear whispers of a thriving black market for such items, though. Roll a Gather Information check to see if you can track down any sellers. And unfortunately, after speaking with Verrer Leagarrow at Verrer and Arral's Quill , you learn that the business partners have no scrolls of dismissal  in stock, and neither of them knows the spell to scribe one to order. They suggest trying the Temple of Tondalla .

Limar pays for the flasks and tries to find a couple potions of magic fang and some protection from evil ones. and remove fear. -skips the black market will visit Cade & Welby to see what poisons they have available -how many cure potions of any type  are available? hiskel skips going to the temple since we don't have a cleric to use any divine scrolls. - she does ask if they have any ray of enfeeblement scrolls or see invisibility ones. a power word disable from her +1 would be nice too or power word petrify

Josh  said: Limar pays for the flasks and tries to find a couple potions of magic fang and some protection from evil ones. and remove fear. At  Nerwenye's Oils and Elixirs , Vadania Nerwenye checks her stock ledger and tells you "I have a potion of  magic fang  in stock. 55 gold, 1 silver, and 2 copper after taxes and the Guild surcharge. No  remove fear  or  protection from evil , but I do have  protection from good . If you're looking for something defensive, I also have a  protection from arrows  that'll ward you against any nonmagical projectiles, for 330 gold, 7 silver, and 5 copper." Josh  said: will visit Cade & Welby to see what poisons they have available Wellby welcomes you into the  Church of Nerull , and goes to find his brother for you. The place is still quite busy, with many of the poor and criminal of the  Red Light District  seeking the aid of the King of All Gloom in this time of darkness for their city. "Good to see you, Limar!" Cade says with a sort of weary cheerfulness. "Poisons, eh? I've been doing a brisk business there. Lots of wealthy merchants who'd rather face a quick end if the city's taken. Let's see... I think right now I've got a half dozen or so types in stock. What are you looking for: paralytic, neurotoxic, nectrotic, heart-stopping?" Josh  said: -how many cure potions of any type  are available? According to Kraggan, none of the normal channels seem to have any left in stock right now, with the siege in full swing. But again, the thriving black markets are an option... Josh  said: hiskel skips going to the temple since we don't have a cleric to use any divine scrolls. - she does ask if they have any ray of enfeeblement scrolls or see invisibility ones. a power word disable from her +1 would be nice too or power word petrify As luck would have it,  Verrer and Arral's Quill  just got a scroll of  power word disable  in stock, sold to them by a sailor looking to liquidate his assets before leaving town with his family. "It's a very powerful spell," the tallfellow halfling Verrer Leegarrow tells you. "I think the scroll should be worth about 1186 gold pieces, counting taxes."

I'll take the magic fang, how much for the protection from good? what about chaos or law?&nbsp; Paralyzer would be best since I'm immune to that, anything i could slap on my claws an poke someone with or possibly an inhalant I could deploy via my gas breath. heart stoppers sounds interesting. -not going to mess with the crooks already got scammed for 10 platinum I'll have to talk to kraggan about party funds for that, how about a false life scroll? - you mind putting forth the 950 gold in the bank? <a href="http://dnd.arkalseif.info/spells/races-of-the-dragon--83/power-word-disable--3085/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://dnd.arkalseif.info/spells/races-of-the-dragon--83/power-word-disable--3085/index.html</a> it'd help a lot to finish gurrak off once he's weakened.&nbsp;

Josh said: I'll take the magic fang, how much for the protection from good? what about chaos or law?&nbsp; "Same price as the magic fang ," the high elven Vadania says, "But no, nothing in stock for the other alignments. I can keep an eye out for you, if you like." Josh said: Paralyzer would be best since I'm immune to that, anything i could slap on my claws an poke someone with or possibly an inhalant I could deploy via my gas breath. heart stoppers sounds interesting. Cade taps his chin in thought. "As far as inhalants go, the only thing I have is othur... it's extremely deadly, eats away at the lungs and can kill within a minute. It needs to be burned to be efficacious though, and I don't think corrosive gas would work. That's what green dragons breathe, right?" He shrugs. "Anyway, it's very &nbsp;pricey, maybe not the best choice for a battle. The sort of thing merchant lords and aristocrats use to take out their rivals. If you want something you could deliver with your claws, the most cost efficient would probably be Medium spider venom: 150 gold per dose, fairly potent, weakens the muscles. I've got 3 vials in stock right now. Small centipede poison is only about half as strong and less potent, but it slows rather than weakens, and it's only 90 gold per dose. 4 of those on the shelves, so to speak." Josh said: how about a false life scroll? Verrer checks her records, but shakes her head. "None in stock, sorry. I don't know that one, and I don't think Arral does either, but we could send a runner to you if we get one in stock." Josh said: I'll have to talk to kraggan about party funds for that - you mind putting forth the 950 gold in the bank? <a href="http://dnd.arkalseif.info/spells/races-of-the-dragon--83/power-word-disable--3085/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://dnd.arkalseif.info/spells/races-of-the-dragon--83/power-word-disable--3085/index.html</a> it'd help a lot to finish gurrak off once he's weakened.&nbsp; Kraggan is alright with that, since the party has a lot of funds still in the Stone River Waypoint vault, but adds "I also think we really ought to all chip in and buy some magical healing items. What do Limar, Drusilia, and Xankoris think?"

"If we want to chip in on this, I have 400 gold pieces to spare."

Limar will let the other know if they want to buy any of those poisons or potions. -Go bug Kaladesh some more . " I've got a kill count of about 20 werewolves and 80 goblinoids, I've not seen you doing any fighting but Iassume yours is similar?" -confident that gurrak is going to sit there an wait from reinforcements he will fly to the keep and pick up the the other 2 cure moderate wound potions there and the 1 light cure potion as well as the dose of Drow sleeping poison&nbsp; - see if Leo has any tips on fighting a mage -How is Hammanap? and then go catch up with the others. If you can find healing items on the black market that isnt just cheap colored water sure. Hiskel will take the bank fund 950 and with her own 23 platinum and 6 gold to get the scroll of power word disable.

Josh said: -Go bug Kaladesh some more . " I've got a kill count of about 20 werewolves and 80 goblinoids, I've not seen you doing any fighting but Iassume yours is similar?" You catch up with Kaladesh, Verne, and a small group of picked men from the Red King's infantry rowing to the mouth of the Stone River from Waterwend, and perch on the gunwale of their launch to chat.&nbsp; "Quite impressive!" Kaladesh laughs, the copper dragon nestled in the small boat's bow. "A bit less so for me, but then my duties tend to fall more along the lines of scouting and reconnaissance. Forewarned is forearmed, my father used to say."

And what are you scouting now? or are you just raising troop morale?, you seem to be quite the jester. -Would you be interested in a sparring match? I may be half your size but I bet I could take you. in that&nbsp; case i may as well get those 3 tangle foot bags in the vault as well. admiring it enough to consider converting?&nbsp; good for them, maybe some day I'll get the time to get to know all of those who follow me. -speaking off which, that Eckbert dwarf fellow fell in battle, if you&nbsp; could let the others know, and see if any of them know who his kin is at so that we can send them a message. -by we I mean you after gurrak falls I plan to spend the next long while in the stonefare earning rithes trust. -Sounds good Leo, maybe you can use it to come get me at that kobold temple when im needed. -can any of the craft people make a neckless or arm band for the rithe /flesh reek symbol&nbsp;

Josh said: And what are you scouting now? or are you just raising troop morale?, you seem to be quite the jester. "I think we all know that morale-raising is my true value," Kaladesh says jokingly, "But at the moment keeping an eye on the Stone River for a flotilla of enemy reinforcements seems to be in vogue." Verne nods, with the world-weary expression of an experienced soldier. "Our main advantage has been the natural defensive value of the Othan River. If Gurak's allies manage to flank the city from the south, we'll be caught between the hammer and the anvil. I've surveyed those walls--they won't hold against a storming force." Josh said: -Would you be interested in a sparring match? I may be half your size but I bet I could take you. Kaladesh seems surprised by the offer, smirking a bit. "Sure, why not? Pull our punches, no breath weapons?" He stretches his wings, limbering them up with a few flaps. "Shall we put some money on it?"

Sure no breath weapons I'll put in my 2000 copper coin bed. int 16 to remeber where his stuff is.

Josh said: Sure no breath weapons I'll put in my 2000 copper coin bed. "I've got a jasper worth about that much. That sound like a fair bet to you?" Kaladesh asks, digging around in a small sack in the bottom of the boat until he produces the gem to show you. Appraise applies.

That looks ok to me, where do you want to fight? It was all given to the river, we can do the gold easily, maybe we could get a replacement weapon at least. -I thought the suilose problem ended when their navy got hit by the storm

Josh said: That looks ok to me, where do you want to fight? Kaladesh considers this. "You greens are somewhat aquatic, yeah? Copper dragons are creatures of earth, so maybe something in between... We could stop by one of the little isles in the river, moor the boat so our boys can get a show?"

Sounds good to me but I expect this fight to go to the skies. - a stranded army far from home I wonder if they're still loyal to Suloise. Do either of&nbsp; you know anything about The suloise and their culture? How the war between terolous and them started? -any knowledge apply?

Josh said: Sounds good to me but I expect this fight to go to the skies. Kaladesh laughs. "A fair battleground for us both. Battlesky? In any case, let's find a good spot. There, how about that isle?" He points to a small one ahead and off to the west, perhaps 20 feet across with a few scrubby brushes and rocks on it. The oarsmen heave, and turn the launch's prow towards it. I'm moving the conversation with Leoavor and Hamanap to the At the&nbsp;Stone River Waypoint thread.

Anytime your ready t'll let you have the first strike.

Josh said: Anytime your ready t'll let you have the first strike. Once the launch is moored nearby, Kaladesh flits over to the isle and squares off you with. After a bit of circling, throwing out testing snaps, he lunges in with his jaws! To save time since this is in the forums, go ahead and roll 3 rounds of attacks and hypothetical damage at once, and we'll see how the first 18 seconds of scuffling plays out.

Limar smirks as letting kaladesh make the first move allows him to counter with a full attack -will fly by&nbsp; attack on the final bite an be 50 feet up ready to dive bomb kaladesh.
