Yes the new people get 500gp to spend.Approaching the junkyard is no easy feat by itself.
Surrounded by a big fence and with a few mean looking guard dogs, Kunala can only see piles of scrap and old metal. The door is closed and there is a "BELL" more like a gong.. but the only response when he bangs it is a "GO AWAY... no beggars!"


Kunala speaking as loudly and clearly as his accented lisp will allow replies"We are not beggars, Junkmaster Garritt! I am Kunala and these are my associates we are the individuals who rescued councilman Baine and we intend to restart the torch. We were informed you may have found something we could learn from or possibly use and wanted to talk to you about purchasing it. Come open the door so we may do business!

diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 well that was a pitiful roll


Male Human Level 3 Diviner (Foresight) Wizard

Mouse shies back at Kunala's loud declaration, clearly not expecting someone to actually respond.


Male (Blessings 4/4), (Sacred Weapon 3/3 Rounds), (Fervor 4/4) Dwarf Warpriest 3 (hp 24/24),(AC20/21, T11, FF19/20)+4 vs Giant Subtype (With/Without Shield), (Saves F+5, R+3, W+7 +4 vs Spell/SLA +2 vs Poison)(CMB4, CMD15), Init 1, Perc +6, +2 vs stonework

Druneor just bites his lip, and listens into any conversation that develops.


"So what.. I found it, so it is mine and not yours. No find and bugger someone else. Or I will call the city guard!"

Perc15:
You can see 3 burly half-orcs with weapons gathering in front of the main building.

Perc20:
They do not seem concerned. Almost smirking!"


Male (Blessings 4/4), (Sacred Weapon 3/3 Rounds), (Fervor 4/4) Dwarf Warpriest 3 (hp 24/24),(AC20/21, T11, FF19/20)+4 vs Giant Subtype (With/Without Shield), (Saves F+5, R+3, W+7 +4 vs Spell/SLA +2 vs Poison)(CMB4, CMD15), Init 1, Perc +6, +2 vs stonework

percept: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Be aware, there are 3 orcs there.

Druneor loosens his dorn dergar from across his chest, but doesn't draw it yet.


perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

Kunala rolls his eyes, and whispers There are 3 burly half-orcs with weapons gathering in front of the main building. They do not seem concerned. Almost smirking!" Kunala holds up his finger indicating 'one moment' as the calls to the Junkmaster he listens to the intonation of the mans voice. Come Junkmaster Garritt, you are a business man, I carry 1,000 gp. myself, let us do business. If you are not interested in selling I would consider paying you to let us look at the artifact. Are your pockets that full you cannot use a little more money?" Kunala then looks to the door do see if it is locked.

sense motive: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6 useless
perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 is the gate locked

if the junkman doesn't want to do business, maybe his orc friends will want to rob Kunala, either way we get the gate open without B&E, which will be Kunala's next move if talking doesn't work


"A thousand gold pieces... that is a lot. Well I make you a deal. I show you what I have for 50.... and if you like it.... another 450."


well at least he is not sending us away, Kunala looks ar his partners and shrugs, responding in his accented lisp "50 gp. is a steep price to look, I will go 25 gp. to look. Then, we will discuss the value after we have seen it!"


"You banged at my door and interrupted my wives beauty sleep 45 gp and no coin less. IF you do not like it... go bugger someone else!"


Kunala smiles at his companions, shrugging his shoulders "Done, call off your dogs and lets see your wares!"


Male (Blessings 4/4), (Sacred Weapon 3/3 Rounds), (Fervor 4/4) Dwarf Warpriest 3 (hp 24/24),(AC20/21, T11, FF19/20)+4 vs Giant Subtype (With/Without Shield), (Saves F+5, R+3, W+7 +4 vs Spell/SLA +2 vs Poison)(CMB4, CMD15), Init 1, Perc +6, +2 vs stonework

Druneor still remains a bit on edge as he looks over at the orcs.


After a bit of turmoil the doors open and you can see the dogs are leashed and the guards have their weapons not at ready anymore.
A half-orcen woman of true epical ugliness offers a clawlike hand for the donation.
After receaving it she leads you back into a long shack and points to a round tablelike object.
"Are you ready?"


Male Human Level 3 Diviner (Foresight) Wizard

Mouse nods anxiously to the woman, his curiosity piqued. "What i...is it?


"Oh.. I wouldn´t want to spoil the surprise.. wouldn´t I?"


Kunala, Hand on his wheellock follows the half-orcen woman into the long shack, after the team files into the shack and gathers a round the round table-like object, he nods his head and says in hs accented lisp. "Go ahead with your demonstration, Mam."


Male Elf Conjurer/3

Cheliandroshel makes his way through the 'junk' careful not to touch anything till they get to the object. "Yes, let us see what it can do.


With an evil smile the woman turns around and does something.
You see bright light
Make a dc 20 fort safe or be blinded for 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6rounds.
"HA isn´t it glorious... "


Male (Blessings 4/4), (Sacred Weapon 3/3 Rounds), (Fervor 4/4) Dwarf Warpriest 3 (hp 24/24),(AC20/21, T11, FF19/20)+4 vs Giant Subtype (With/Without Shield), (Saves F+5, R+3, W+7 +4 vs Spell/SLA +2 vs Poison)(CMB4, CMD15), Init 1, Perc +6, +2 vs stonework

fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 Add 4 if Spell/Spell like ability

What in Torag's name


fort: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

"What treachery is this? Kunala draws his wheellock with his outburst, leveling it where the thought the half-orcen woman was. stay calm, you got through being blinded by the toad, you will get through this, just keep your head

drawing the pistol seemed like an appropriate response, are we in combat rounds now, or is Kunala reacting for nothing


Male Human Level 3 Diviner (Foresight) Wizard

Fortitude: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 2 + 4 = 17 So close... Initiative?

Aaaaahh!"


"Am I thought you knew what we had... no worries it will fade with time."
You won´t get attacked. After half a minute your vision returns, albeit with spotches. A beaming and quite ugly half-orcen woman looks at you with pride in her face.
"Well it is a bit heavy.. true but it is incredibly bright... isn´t it?"


Male Human Level 3 Diviner (Foresight) Wizard

"Wha...What..." Mouse trails off as he leans in to examine the thing, marveling at the technology.

Prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 9 I can choose whether or not to use this right? Either way, I have 7 left.

Knowledge: Engineering: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33 BOOM!


@Nicolas
This is a lamp. Well the most powerful lamp you have ever seen or experienced. But you think it is broken, it gives all the light in one flash.
It is a flashlight used to shock animals to collect them stationed on a flyer


Male Human Level 3 Diviner (Foresight) Wizard

So the big table thing is a flyer? Does it look like we could remove the flashlight?


Male Elf Conjurer/3

fort save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 Nuts!

Cheliandroshel manages to get an arm up to shield his eyes, just a moment too late. "Ahhhh! What...a warning next time would be good. We'll all being seeing spots for the next hour!


Male Human Level 3 Diviner (Foresight) Wizard

Better yet, does the flyer look functional?


As the woman's explanation calms Kunala he holsters his pistol. Looking at the object and then at his new traveling companions I hope all of this makes more sense to them than I does to me. I hate to spend that much money on anything, let alone a fancy lamp. wonder if we should have brought Mr. Moss he takes his time, hoping the new team members could draw some conclusions about the thing and is value.


The big table is the flashlight, most is the focusing lense! You would guess that it is so big because the flyer crashed and there is still wall attached to it. The flyer is as big a modern fighter jet


Male (Blessings 4/4), (Sacred Weapon 3/3 Rounds), (Fervor 4/4) Dwarf Warpriest 3 (hp 24/24),(AC20/21, T11, FF19/20)+4 vs Giant Subtype (With/Without Shield), (Saves F+5, R+3, W+7 +4 vs Spell/SLA +2 vs Poison)(CMB4, CMD15), Init 1, Perc +6, +2 vs stonework

I doubt that we will be able to take this with us. It is a little large.
Druneor looks a little closer at it.

Know eng: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Well, I cannot figure out this light.


Male Human Level 3 Diviner (Foresight) Wizard

Hmm. If we attempted to strip off most of the flyer/wall, Does it look as though we could ever use it for something? Is that another check?

"Wh...Wh...Where d...did you find this th...th...thi... Where did you find it?


@Druenor You think the light source is behind the opague lense.. but more and you guess around 800 pounds


Male (Blessings 4/4), (Sacred Weapon 3/3 Rounds), (Fervor 4/4) Dwarf Warpriest 3 (hp 24/24),(AC20/21, T11, FF19/20)+4 vs Giant Subtype (With/Without Shield), (Saves F+5, R+3, W+7 +4 vs Spell/SLA +2 vs Poison)(CMB4, CMD15), Init 1, Perc +6, +2 vs stonework

Which is why I said that I doubt we can take it with us. :)


Male Elf Conjurer/3

"Hmmm...let us see what this contraption might be all about." Cheliandroshel moves about the light examining it.

kn engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23


Kunala watches as the new teammates get excited about the technology and begin looking at it and asking questions. These three will do well, I hope we find more tech in the caves they can look at! addressing their hostess in his accented lisp he asks, "Yes, can you tell us where you found it? Also I hope you don't mind if we poke around a little bit to determine it's value" smiling, to the team he says, "Three things gentleman: what we will use it for, what is it's value and how shall we move it?" Thinking for a moment about Sanvil Trett, Kunala, turning to the woman, adds "We may need to speak to our silent partner before we make a final decision. I assume the forty-five gold we gave you will work in good faith as a deposit, till we get back to you?"

using diplomacy to make the request that the 45gp will stand as a deposit

diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20


Male Human Level 3 Diviner (Foresight) Wizard

"I thh...thhhthhink I might have a w...way we could mo-move it. W...we would have to come back t-t-tomorrow though. As for w-what we would d-d...do with it..." Mouse trails off with a shrug.

I still have a bunch of scrolls to copy down. Ant haul is one of them. I think we could drag it with that.

Gin was quiet, he simply blinked when the light went off but had said or done little. The language everyone spoke here was hard enough, the things they spoke of made it no easier. The fact his mind seemed to drift to Elasbeth helped even less.

He snapped out of it when it came to what he surmised was.. lifting. " Ai.. couldo take itu. Puru away. "


"Well... If you pay the agreed upon price... I might offer you a deposit."

I was hoping to use diplomacy so she would hold it for us until we talked to Trett

Not willing to pay such a steep price, without knowing the value, Kunala, unsure of the value or use of the light, watches the new team members for any clues, asking them in his accented lisp, "What do you think gentlemen, what may we use and for and more importantly what is it worth, or do you think we need to ask our new business partner" not wanting to use Sanvil Trett's name in front of anyone we don't know


Male (Blessings 4/4), (Sacred Weapon 3/3 Rounds), (Fervor 4/4) Dwarf Warpriest 3 (hp 24/24),(AC20/21, T11, FF19/20)+4 vs Giant Subtype (With/Without Shield), (Saves F+5, R+3, W+7 +4 vs Spell/SLA +2 vs Poison)(CMB4, CMD15), Init 1, Perc +6, +2 vs stonework

Well, I can see that the light will blind any creature with sight, which we all can attest to. But as for usefulness, right now I am not sure. I guess we will have to see with our partner.


Sense motive15:
You think you understood you just fine, but she has strict orders.. you think she is looking behind you at the wall and waiting for an aye or nay!

KnENG20:
You think that this item has a huge battery and if the battery is drained it is junk. If you had means to recharge it, it might be a diffrent matter....


Male (Blessings 4/4), (Sacred Weapon 3/3 Rounds), (Fervor 4/4) Dwarf Warpriest 3 (hp 24/24),(AC20/21, T11, FF19/20)+4 vs Giant Subtype (With/Without Shield), (Saves F+5, R+3, W+7 +4 vs Spell/SLA +2 vs Poison)(CMB4, CMD15), Init 1, Perc +6, +2 vs stonework

Currently got nothing more to add right now, and go figure, back to my usual bad rolls. :(


hey why not, it could happen
sense motive: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (20) - 1 = 19 what do you know

Kunala looking at his team mates, then noticing the woman is looking behind him, almost like she is waiting for a yes or a no. Kunala addresses the team first in his accented lisp "Gentleman I'm afraid we are detaining the lady and her friends. If there are no other questions we may as well go speak to our silent partner." Turning to the woman he adds "We will go and speak to one who is familiar with technology, when we return we will make an offer. I hope that nothing will happen to prevent us from doing business in the future." nodding he signals her to lead the way out. "After you mam." as he speaks to her he draws his pistol and nudges his shield off of his shoulder onto his arm, waiting to follow her out.


Looking at the drawn weapon the half-orc woman hisses.
"You threaten me in my house? IN MY HOUSE! GO AWAY... no more business with us."

SM10:
She feels deathly offended and her anger is genuine.


Male Human Level 3 Diviner (Foresight) Wizard

"Uh.. wh...wh-what?" Mouse looks around, confused and worried.

"W-we didn't thr...threaten y-you!"


Male Elf Conjurer/3

kn eng: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
sense motive: 1d20 ⇒ 5

"My dear woman you are mistaken, we did not threaten you. My associate is merely getting his weapon ready as we leave. You must realize that things get inhospitable. Our apologies if you felt that was directed at you.


Male (Blessings 4/4), (Sacred Weapon 3/3 Rounds), (Fervor 4/4) Dwarf Warpriest 3 (hp 24/24),(AC20/21, T11, FF19/20)+4 vs Giant Subtype (With/Without Shield), (Saves F+5, R+3, W+7 +4 vs Spell/SLA +2 vs Poison)(CMB4, CMD15), Init 1, Perc +6, +2 vs stonework

SM: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Our apologies, if you took this as to be a threat against you, but it is not.
Kunala, you are insulting our host, at least wait until we are outside the door.

Druneor attempts to sooth the woman.


see if Kunala can get lucky again

sense motive: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9 oh well

Not able to tell if the woman is genuinely upset or if it is some part of a ruse, Kunala justifies his actions, "Mam, at the price I paid you to see this bauble I should be able to dance around naked with a bowl of fruit on my head if I so chose too. Forty five gold could by 'your house.' Do not play the part of the offended little sister with me, you are a business woman, your husband is a business man. There are many dangers and I have lived by attempting to be ready for them. If your price of 500 gold pieces is reasonable we will pay it. If not we will haggle the price. Do not mistake my caution as a threat, If I were threatening you, you would know it. When we return with more gold I am sure it will help sooth your anger. For now we will follow you out, and please do not let those watching behind us give me cause to think I should have threatened you.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 don't know if a diplomacy roll will help or not, but just wanting to be cautious and leave, not to pick a fight.

Helikon: speaking of fights, Kunala did not go to the temple to get healed yet, nor has he given the wand to there new "medic." So, is he at 10 hp or can we hand wave that and put him back at 26?

Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Gin seems to twist his face somewhat understanding. He shakes his head and then, gets on his knees. The large man goes to the ground and places his hands flat in a bow. " Kunara-san isu not goodo at hurtingu. Pleasu forgivu. Sumimasen. "


should we roll initiative or are we getting out with just a good tongue lashing?

Kunala looks at the big man getting on his knees and rolls his eyes a little bit.
