Chavana looks into the room, and thinks if she knows anything magical or religious that could cause something of this nature.

Skill checks:
knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Chavana reports to the others anything she can think of regarding this odd room.

Gelgish stares blankly at the bizarre room for a longer period of time than anyone would need to in order to simply view its contents. I...I got nothin' here, he says finally. Looking slightly helpless, he glances over at Chavana. This mean anything to you? Aside from the dead bird, the rest of that stuff might be worthwhile, figure I can grab it?

Ulrich looks confused and amazed by what he sees.

"Maybe we shouldn't have left the scholars behind..."

"We need the wand, there's some sort of magic in the room, but that's the only magical item I detect. Perhaps if we lasso the wand out of the room the effect will end?"

Chavana looks genuinely perplexed by the effect.

The Bear approaches is door and reaches into the magical area with the polearm, trying to draw some of the items out of the room.

It takes a little time with the near weightlessness of the weapon once it goes into the room but you manage to drag everything out that you intend to get. Aside from the polearm floating a bit when extended into the room there are no other effects.

Once everything is out, Chavana chimes "That's an odd thing. Mr. Bear, may I have one end of your glaive? I'd like to see how 'weightless' feels, or if there is something we're not seeing."

Gelgish watched warily has Chavana and Ulrich drew the items out and then experimented with the glaive. The dwarf didn't like what he couldn't explain, and this was beyond explanation. Instead, he frowned while examining the items pulled forth from the weightlessness.

Darpan stands back, giving the others room to examine the room and items found within, but keeps his bow at the ready...just in case.

Once all the items are out the Bear nods at Darpan and Gelgish. "Anything special about the items?"

Gelgish flips through the book a bit, his forehead wrinkling in disgust at some of the pictures. Well, can't make out of word of that but Quint will love it, he says to no one in particular. The dwarf then picks up the bottle of wine and looks it over for some indication of how old it is. This is either real old, and worth a lot, or kinda new, and somebody's been down here not too long ago. Finally, Gelgish picks up the scroll and wand, glances a bit non-plussed at both, then looks over at Chavana. You wanna give these a try?

Chavana casts both read magic and detect magic and inspects the two items Gelgish offers, starting with the scroll.

spellcraft scroll: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

"Certainly, Gelgy."

spellcraft wand: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

"If we had a wizardly fellow, the scroll would do well. The wand, unfortunately, is beyond my knowledge for the time being."

Chavana looks around, after coming in from floating and inspecting everything.

"Have we missed anything?"

GM: Is there a staircase we haven't taken yet? Can't remember and a quick glance back through the IC Thread didn't clarify. If there is an unexplored area on the map I'm pretty sure we'd tackle that next.

There are two staircases, but both are blocked by rubble.

Got it. I think that clears up this section. We'll have to come back here later, but I think we're okay... ish... for now.

Nodding the Bear says, "Lets return then, and perhaps our friends might have further insight into the items we gathered from the odd floating room."

The party will then pick up the priest and academic, return to the surface, show them the items, and meet back at the Inn. (Unless there are objections to this plan).

Sounds good to me...I don't think we have missed anything down there??

Agree with Ulrich's plan. Let's see what the scholars have to say about the items

"Let's get moving out of this horrible place." Chavana shudders. "Although we do have unfinished business with that well of monsters."

You go back to get Brodert and Zantus. After returning top side Brodert is excited by the book and notes it is likely worth some money just by the fact of its age. Father Zantus takes some time examaining the wand and tells you it is a wand of shocking grasp. As you depart Brodert adds "Thank you for the trip down! With all my notes I should have a lot to go over. Please, though, if you find anything more like this let me know. I am very interested to see what more I can learn."

Gelgish remained silent on the trip back to the surface, but after the group said farewell to Zantus and Quint the dwarf spoke up. Something doesn't add up here. This flyspeck town has an angry half-elf organizing goblin attacks and has some ancient evil temple under it AND the two things are unrelated? Just doesn't add up. Shaking his head and not really expecting an answer he added, I figure the sheriff is gonna want that half-elf found after killin' all those people. Where should we look?

"Really, I'm not sure, Gelgish." Chavana says sullenly. "However, if he's working with Goblins, we can be certainly check the highest concentrations of goblins in the area. Perhaps a visit to the forest once the sheriff comes back. Then again, he could be long gone by now."

Thinking out loud, Chavana notes: [b]"We may want to try the Thistletop goblins... but I'm loathe to leave Sandpoint undefended if we are out when another raid occurs. We may not have any choice, though."[/ooc]

Gelgish nods thoughtfully to Chavana's comments. Aye, that makes sense. That's the goblin's favorite home, Shalelu said they squabble over it all the time. Thinking a moment more he adds. Let's go there after the sheriff returns. The goblins won't appreciate our arrival, but I can't think of anywhere else a goblin-lover like that half-elf would go.

You will have 2 days downtime if you wait for the sheriff to return. We can skip ahead or if you have particular things you would like to do in that time we can RP them or just hash it out in the discussion.

I have no specific downtime activities for Gelgish, so I'm fine with skipping ahead. Sensing that Sandpoint may become something of a base of operations, he would listen in on conversations at the various bars and generally get to know the town.

The Bear is good to go.

Darpan is also good to go...he would work on making or purchasing more arrows (40 or so), but thats all

Chavana could also work on masterworking weapons, if anyone chose to do so over the next two days.

@Chavana: Not sure what you mean by "masterworking" weapons. Doesn't a weapon have to be created as masterwork from scratch? Even if you could change a regular weapon to masterwork, I don't see any skills Chavana has that would allow that. Maybe I'm missing something?

I think she has a spell that can make a regular weapon into a masterwork one. Darpan would be willing to use some of his money to make his bow masterwork.

@Darpan: Ah, didn't know that. If true, Gelgish would be interested in having his Dorn-Durger "masterworked".

Assuming you mean this spell Masterwork Transformation. You are more than welcome to do that just note the associated costs.

Hadn't heard of that spell. Good stuff! @Chavana: Gelgish would like his Dorn-Durger Masterwork-ed. If she's willing, I'll mark 300gp's off Gelgish's gold total to cover the material costs.

Chavana spends a couple hours masterworking both Darpan's bow and Gelgish's Dorn-Durger on "day 1," preparing the spells for Ulrich's weapons if he so chooses on "day 2." She then returns to her normal spellcasting preparations. During the rest of her free time she has "cure light wounds" prepared and goes about the town to tend to anyone she finds that has gotten hurt.

Darpan: 302 gp marked off the gold Chavana is holding on his behalf.

Thanks Chavana :-)

@Chavana: Thanks much! Marking off 300gp's

I haven't figured out exactly what Ulrich will ultimately wield, and I may see if we find a cool weapon along the way to make his own. Thanks anyway!

Duly noted, the offer stands, and remains, so that Mr. Bear can have as effective of weapons as he can.

After a few days seeing to affairs around town Sheriff Hemlock returns with a contingence of guards from Magnimar.

A couples hours after the sheriffs arrival you recieve a summons to the mayors office, requesting you arrive before dusk.

Swinging his newly enhanced Dorn-Durger in a slow circle next to him, a slow smile formed on Gelgish's face. That's damn fine work Chavana. Never seen one nice as this; you have my thanks. The summons arrives before the dwarf could say more. With a glance to the cleric he added, Well, no better time than the present. Let's go talk with the sheriff.

Gelgish will wait for anything the other party members want to do, then heads to the sheriff to discuss what the group saw and what info he might have for them.

The Bear nods and joins the rest to head to the Sheriff and report what has gone on. "We need to get after those goblins soon... good he is finally back."

Darpan had gone out back to practice with his "new" bow. When he returns he walks up to Chavana and give her a big hug.
"You have retained my teacher's original work, but made it even more beautiful. You have my eternal thanks!"

He then joins the others in going to see the sheriff.

Chavana smiles at Darpan's hug, returning it as well. Chavana heads out with the others to meet the mayor.

"I'm not certain why all the pomp and circumstance, but we can hopefully put an end to the goblins and... other menaces soon, Mr. Bear."

She walks closely with Darpan, and makes sure that Gelgish, Ulrich and Darpan are ready to take on the day's challenges.

Should be at normal spellcasting list as noted in profile at this point.
