Getting up and dusting himself off, "How're thing up there? Anyone need some healin'?" walking over to join the rest of the group, drawing out his wand, "Got a bit of Asmodeus here to help us, it wasn't the Great Beast we just fought but healin' is healin'!"
He'll tap himself with the wand, before offering it to anyone else.
|
|
Very weakened Eldon releases his rapier from the fallen body "I feel very weak, the blade of the kellid was poisoned, I took an antitoxin but nevertheless it somehow affected my strength horribly"
The bald elf checks the sorcerer for any incriminating hint that leads them to know if they were acting alone in the city, and pick up any useful item as well using detect magic to help his inspection.
Afterwards, as the team patches up, he brings his own wand and starts waving it to heal the wounds.
"So, if this is the Technic League, I do not want to face any more of their members. That was tough" says the elf, then looks at the still bound man "Let's free Rand"
|
|
Eldon begins to search the sorceress and notices maps, lists of names, and reports from an ongoing investigation lay on the desk. One of the lists really attracts your attention.
She also has some interesting items on her person.
Scroll of fly, Scroll of gaseous form, Scroll of levitate, masterwork longbow with 20 arrows, spear, cloak of resistance +1, ring of protection +1, and 375 gp
Something also catches Dimble, the technologists, eye on a shelf in on the balcony a pair of pharmaceuticals called hype and cureall.
A synthetic adrenaline derivative once used by soldiers, hype boosts perception and reaction time but comes with some nasty side effects. This pharmaceutical has an onset time of 1 round and its effects last for 1 hour. It provides a +5 competence bonus on Perception checks and increases the user’s base land speed by 10 feet, but the user takes a –4 penalty on concentration checks and on all Intelligence-, Wisdom-, and Charisma-based skill checks (with the
exception of Perception).
A dose of cureall allows the target to attempt an additional saving throw against a single disease or poison effect currently afflicting him. This additional saving throw counts for the total number of successful saves needed to recover from the disease or poison. If the target is suffering from multiple afflictions, a single dose of cureall works against only the effect with the highest save DC. Cureall also restores 1d4 points of ability damage or 1 point of ability drain that has been inflicted by a disease or poison, even if the user doesn’t succeed at the save. A dose cures any ability drain before curing ability damage. If the target is suffering from drain or damage to multiple ability scores, the cureall cures the score with the most damage or drain (or randomly selects one if multiple scores have equal drain or damage).
When you free Rand he says, Thank you, thank you! I assume you are fellow Pathfinders? I didn't tell them anything, but I think they suspect us and somehow they knew I was involved!
Taking a breath he continues, I bought the book from a travelling Varisian bookseller in Eleder by the name of Sal Durivan—a guy who had no clue how much it was really worth. He said he was also on his way north to Nantambu, and I figured it’d be better for me to deliver the book here rather than risk someone here recognizing its worth before I could secure its safekeeping. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Sal around town. I wonder if he ever made it, or if the Technic League got to him before they caught me. Maybe that's how they found me! And there are a lot more of them!
You examine the Kellid as well.
Oil of magic weapon, potion of cure moderate, a 3rd less common potion, several empty poison vials some that still have poison malyass root paste (1 doses) and bloodroot (4 doses); +1 studded leather, 2 masterwork daggers (1 still covered in poison), cloak of resistance +1, alchemy kit, formulae book, and 401 gp
1st—ant haul, comprehend languages, crafter’s fortune, deathwatch, detect secret doors, expeditious retreat, jump, negate aroma, cure light wounds, disguise self, illusion of calm, shield, true strike
2nd—alchemical allocation, anthropomorphic animal, barkskin, blood
transcription, false life, see invisibility, bull’s strength, invisibility, touch injection
3rd—fly, haste, seek thoughts, bottled gelatinous cube
Potion of Displacement

"Sal Durivan you say? It is in their list, but his name is not yet crossed so perhaps they found your connection but did not got him, or he escaped. Perhaps he discovered the real value of the book from them and he is now trying to recover it?" says Eldon still very weak by the poison effect but quickly thinking.
He nods at Harmonius "Yes, let's return fast"
The elf picks up the thechic League members stuff, and saves at hand the scrolls after carefully classifying them. He then casts detect magic on the unidentified potion.
"Mmmm... a potion of Displacement... I can take it if no one else is interested"
With that, Eldon helps Rand and the group to come back to the lodge.

As you reach the courtyard of Sharrowsmith's Exports you see a young Taldan woman dancing atop the fountain in the middle of courtyard and singing a song that has drawn nearly everyone’s attention.
As you close nearer you hear her completing a verse,
So do not end your life, by stealing from the gods, for their justice will be swift, your life will end in strife. With that she gives a shimmy and the crowd gives her a loud applause. She smiles at you as you approach.
Just as the applause begins to wane, one of Sharrowsmith’s appraiser comes running out of the inner building.
They’re here! They’ve broken through the rear gate!

Eldon thanks Sheela for the healing "Thanks, that is better certainly"
---------------------
At Sharrowsmith Exports, Eldon looks worried at the situation, retrieves his shield wand and uses it over himself stepping to the front and telling the woman "Some ill magic have struck this place and we have been called to investigate. For everyones safety, please, tell all this crowd to peacefully dismiss and leave now. ASAP!"
|
|
Seelah walks over to the woman while taking her shield from her back and drawing her sword. She steps onto the fountain's edge, to stand next to the woman, and turns to the crowd.
"Everyone, leave!" Seelah shouts over the crowd's noise. "The lodge is under attack, go home!"
She hopes her full plate and other equipment help to convince everyone that the situation's serious.
She then turns to Marra. "Who hired you, dear? Quickly describe them, give names if you can. Your performance was lovely, but I fear someone used it to draw attention away from he back of the building."
|
|
The girl answers Seelah, clearly growing more nervous about what is going on. Well, she was very convincing; tall, her skin looked strange kind of shiny in places, a very distinctive look.
She pauses as she tries to recall the details. August approaches to Seelah side, looking for guidance from the Paladin.
The performer continues, I was on my way to perform at the Cooper Buffalo, when she stopped me, told me the Buffalo was closed right now, but she could offer me more for a different performance. Told me it was a favor for her friend at Sharrowsmith's Exports, told me what to sing, and to perform on the fountain. I didn't know I was doing anything wrong.
She sends a clearly concerned look at the heavily armored Paladin.

"We do not have time for more details." says Eldon looking at the others, then turning to the woman "Do not worry you were not doing anything wrong, it is the 'others' whom are doing it, and we need to go and find out what is going out exactly. Please, make this people scatter and go home"
With that the bald elf runs towards the lodge doors.
