Typhus - "We can make a feasting cup from your friend’s skull & hands easily enough. For a little extra to cover the cost of the spells we can mold the bones like clay and make a complete serving set, six goblets, decanter and serving tray. Silver and gold inlays of course increase the price but will prevent wine from staining the goblets."Typhus stares for a moment. "The silver and gold will be nice. Can't have the wine stain like blood. There will be more than enough blood to go around at the celebration."
Typhus will pay whatever they ask.
1500gp total cost. Typhus is very entertained as the boneworkers kneed Uriel's bones into a clay like substance and then molded into the forms of the serving set before hardening back into solid bone. After the bones are molded the more conventional artisans take over and carve and finish the bone preparing them for the silver inlays and gold filigree.
Back in the alley, Malick keeps his trap shut for once.
@ Ferdinand, very quietly ** spoiler omitted **
"Care to tell us a little more?" Malick looks simple and open and idiotic.
Ferdinand looks between Rennik and the other gnomes. "Well? Just give them the stone already! We got places to be."
Realizing that it's too late for a bluff, Rennik hides nothing. "Ooh, they're fascinating devices, aren't they? Interesting bit of thaumaturgy. While I hate to part with it, I would be happy to return it to its rightful owner. So with whom am I speaking?"
@Ferdinand
"Kind of like to know who the rightful owner is - just curiosity."
“Go ahead Gongi show them”, the bolder gnome says to the other. Gongi opens his shirt to reveal a large Sivis dragonmark covering his shoulder and chest.
“Let us continue walking; it’s not a good idea to stand in one place to long as we might attract attention of the magistrate’s guards”. After you resume walking the gnome continues speaking, “I am Lanislith and this is Gongi we were part of the group that investigated the original theft of the stones until the day of mourning and the House believed the stones lost”.
“Gongi, being the savant he is never believed the stones were destroyed so he kept searching for them”.
“After five years of silence both stones suddenly started transmitting. One only transmitted for about an hour before going silent, but the one in your possession continues to transmit and we were able to listen in on your conversations and track you down her to Vulyar.”
“As reward for the return of the stone we will give you all the information we have on the location and last words heard from the other stone.”
After you hand over the stone Lanislith tells Gongi, “Gongi replay the details please”.
Gongi speaks for the first time but in the voice of the persons speaking.
Female orc - ”…Mistress the speaking stone, it’s active!
Ruing – What! How is this possible? It must be Oddjob.
Female orc – When you interrogated the yaun-ti they said they killed them.
Ruing – Even when tortured the yaun-ti were protecting them. I was right to destroy their nest. Quickly Maspeth gather the ritual components we have to re-shield the stone.
Gongi stops speaking and Lanislith starts, “That was all that was heard from the stone before it went silent again. We were able to locate Sharn as the point of transmission but nothing else”.
“If you ever find the other stone return it to Gongi or myself and we can come up with a more substantial reward for you efforts. Good day gentlemen I hope your endeavors in Vulyar are successful.”
Both the gnomes hurry away.
@Jassolen
"Isn't that nice? Blondie's in Sharn. Let's finish up shopping, drag Typhus out of the boneyard, steal that airship and go visit her."
Buy what you want Vulyar is large enough to have most magical equipment.
Stuff you can see about the skyport without using extraordinary means.
The skyport of Vulyar consists of three towers each having berths for two skyships. Smaller skiffs are moored at the two smaller towers bases.
The tallest tower holds the port control center at its base.
Security is fairly heavy around the towers with the greatest concentration at the control center.
There is a large number of zombies working as porters loading and unloading cargo. A low level mage is controlling each group of 15 zombies.
Half.
Buy a +3 magic crossbow (9,000).
If possible, trade out the Grappling Halberd +3 for a Sacrificial Halberd +3 (both level 11).
Go ahead with the trade.
@Ragna "Associating with you is bringing out my giving side."
Finnish your shooping and tell me how you're going to approch the problem of freeing the Fluttering Petal.
“I need a highly skilled group to get into the Skyport control tower to release the rituals holding the Fluttering Petal in dock while Kejistise and I gather my crew. Once free the fluttering petal can easily out maneuver any Karrnathi ships in port and fly to freedom.”“Are your skills up this challenge? If not say so now and I will continue to Ariel and hire some Valenar to help.”
Typhus will sell his Rod of the Pyre +2 to raise the money for the memorial cup. Once that is done, he'll wander off in search of the party.
"Thank you Malick for the compliment. We all serve the flame in our own way."
Even more spotting posting for the next week or so due to moving.
I’m going to be without internet for a couple weeks so the game is on pause until I can get back online and resume.
Hope you’re gonna be there when we restart.
I will be here :)
I have nowhere else to go. Typhus will just be volunteering at orphanages and nunneries, teaching the kiddies all about the real truth in life.
I'll have the map and recap posted tomorrow. Latter today realy.
Welcome back, Sarge! The platoon is assembled and ready for action.
Synopsis: Oddjob is in Vulyar, Karnath and currently planning on freeing the airship Fluttering Petal from lockdown at the skyport. The lockdown was ordered by the skyport magistrate on suspicion of smuggling.
The plan; Kayeron, Capt. of the Fluttering Petal and the remainder of his crew will storm the ship and seize control while Oddjob gets into the control tower and releases the binding ritual holding the Fluttering Petal in her berth.
Overview; The skyport of Vulyar consists of three towers each having berths for two skyships. Smaller skiffs are moored at the two smaller towers bases.
The tallest tower holds the port control center at its base.
Security is fairly heavy around the towers with the greatest concentration at the control center.
There is a large number of zombies working as porters loading and unloading cargo. A low level mage is controlling each group of 15 zombies.
Let me know on how you plan to sneak into the main tower.
