for a possible
It staggered under Cerastes hit and is about to attack him when Inferis' magic missile shot takes the foul creature down.
For some reason, Max refuses to wake up. And now all his hair has fallen out.
When you search the room you entered,
It takes a few minutes searching to turn up a Small rusted dagger, a handful of marbles, and a small lacquered wooden box.
The lacquered box is an ancient board game whose rules have been forgotten over time. Inside the box are several small, carved stone playing pieces. The box functions as the game board.
And searching the last room of the upper floor (the NE corner)...
Dust blankets this room. The walls, once brightly painted to depict life in ancient Wati, are now faded. A smaller room or alcove takes up the northeast section of the room; it was once closed off by a wooden door that since has rotted away, leaving only its hinges in the doorframe. A strong, cloying odor of decay pervades the room.
Pentheru the Younger’s daughter, Ariseti, inhabited this bedroom.
The scenes painted on the walls depict the arrival of a Keleshite sultana in Wati by royal barge, a ceremony or possibly a party where a young woman is being anointed and crowned while a gathering of onlookers observe, and another where three young women swim in a river while armed guards with spears watch from beneath the shade of
a tree.
Buried amid the debris in the room is a large darkwood box (Ariseti’s hope chest) worth 100 gp.
Inside is a white silk Osirian wedding robe that is extremely fragile with age.
You realize that any attempt to remove the robe from the chest will ruin it, but make whole, mending, or similar magic cast upon the robe prior to handling completely restores it.
If preserved, the robe is worth 150 gp.
The chest also contains several pieces of inexpensive jewelry worth 35 gp in total, and a strand of freshwater pearls worth 200 gp.
A small sealed tube contains five applications of kohl of uncanny discernment (see page 60).
Finally, a long scroll tube holds a rolled-up papyrus painting—a self-portrait of Ariseti, accompanied by her signature in Ancient Osiriani. Unlike the wedding robe, the painting has been protected from air for many years and can be safely handled without damaging it. It is worth 80 gp to a collector.
Inferis comments on the box, "To an Osirionologist, the game is worth 50 gp as a rare antiquity. Otherwise 5-10 gp on the open market."
After searching the northeast corner, "Pentheru the Younger’s daughter, Ariseti, inhabited this bedroom. "
Turning to the paintings, "Ariseti, a talented young artist, painted all of these scenes to represent important moments in her life. No other features of the room have survived to tell the story of who lived here."
Looking at the robe, "Don't move the robe! It is too brittle to move without restoring some of it. Does anyone have a mending, make whole or similar magic that can restore it? If preserved, then we could get 150gp out of it."
|
|
"A mending spell is within my capabilities, however I do not have prepared myself for that magic this day. If we rest I can summon the ability to preserve the robe. I will also give us an opportunity to prepare ourselves and mend our wounds for the final push of our exploration into the house of Pentheru."
