The party was able to make camp in the prison area. The bones
of the skeletons were spread along the approaching hallway and the table was up-ended to block the entrance to the room.
Trying the keys from the key ring on the doors to the east
proved successful. After a few tries, both doors were unlocked using the keys.
The northern-most door contained a couple of chests and shelves.
The shelves contained a box with 16 squat candles, a stack of unused parchment, a
sealed pot of ink and 6 quills. The chests contained mostly moldy and disintegrating
clothing. A sturdy cord made of what appears to be cotton, a well-made leather vest bearing numerous
shiny metal buttons sealing a number of bulging pockets and a
sturdy leather pouch are located near the bottom of one chest. A pair of boots and
a wand are found in the other chest among former pieces of clothing.
The southern-most door contained the remnants of an armory. The
room is mostly empty but two large wooden shields, a light crossbow, two
quivers with 20 bolts each, a flail, a quarterstaff and two sets of manacles
hang from pegs on the wall.
What do you do next?
I check out the best and leather pouch. And cast detect magic
ReplyDeleteA casting of Detect Magic reveals that the cord, the vest, the boots and the wand have magical auras.
DeleteThe pouch is very well made and seems to have held up to the ravages of age better than any of the other mundane items. The front of the pouch is decorated with a flower. A successful Knowledge (nature) check could identify the type of flower.
@David - Please provide some rolls for the items you plan to examine.
DeleteLet's keep the east doors locked until we are ready to explore them.
ReplyDeleteI assumed that the doors have been opened and the cells have been searched. There are no other exits to this room than the one you entered by.
DeleteI casy Cure Light Wound on Brother Gronk (6)
ReplyDeleteBrother Gronk regains consciousness and currently has 2 hp.
DeleteI tell Osric: "There is a wand in there you might have use od." To group: "Who is up for getting water?" And when someone heads that way, i head that way with them and get water for gronk too. If we get back, i eat part of a trail ration, drink some more water and try to figure out the items.
ReplyDeleteRolls: 18, 5, 6, 14, 4
Magni, what wand?
ReplyDeleteI think he is referring to the last sentence of paragraph 3, "A pair of boots and a wand are found in the other chest among former pieces of clothing."
DeleteThanks
DeleteFor some reason I glazed over that every time I re read it.
I check out the wand
Spellcraft rolls to identify
Delete26 (15+9+2)
24 (13+9+2)
13 (2+9+2)
Osric identifies the vest as an All Tools Vest and the cord as Belt of Tumbling.
DeleteHe failed to identify the wand.
Still need a roll for the boots.
Can I also get a Will save from Osric?
Will save 16 (18 vs enchantment)
DeleteOsric realizes that the pouch has an illusion suppressing its magical aura.
DeleteSpellcraft rolls for boots and pouch
Delete26
26
Osric easily identifies the boots as Daredevil Boots because of the telltale shimmering of vibrant shades of blazing red and burning orange when they were held up to the light.
DeleteThe pouch proved more difficult but he eventually proclaimed the item as a Pathfinder's Pouch. To complete his examination, the wizard was only missing the command word to open the extradimensional space locked within the pouch.
Check out the vest and pouch with Davids character.
ReplyDeleteDo any of the magic users have a spell they could use to change our rags into clothing?
That would require a Mending spell and all of the pieces of the clothing. It might not completely fix what you have but it would improve the condition.
DeleteMagni knows Mending.
DeleteNot yet, but will soon hopefully.
DeleteI have it on your sheet. What do you think your 0-level spells are?
DeletePrestidigitation, Magehand, Disrupt undead, Light.
DeleteCorrected the spell list. Thanks.
DeleteI use my second and last heal on Brother Gronk: 9
ReplyDeleteI attempt to identify the flower: 27
Brother Gronk is healed in full.
DeleteThayross is certain that the flower is a chrysanthemum.
Does the Chrysanthemum have sime type of significance as a symbol?
DeleteThayross is not sure. He has heard that the goddess Shelyn is known as The Lady of Chrysanthemums in Tian Xia.
DeleteTry "Shelyn" or "Chrysanthemum" or "Chrysanthemums" for the activation word.
DeleteBrother Gronk opened the extra-dimensional pocket within the Pathfinder's Pouce. It contained a Wizard's spellbook containing the following:
DeleteLevel 0 - All Core Rulebook cantrips plus jolt
Level 1 - alarm, feather fall, obscuring mist, mount, shield, shocking grasp, silent image, sleep
Level 2 - fox’s cunning, scorching ray
"Excellent
DeleteA spell book"
I secure the Pathfinders pouch to keep the spellbook in
Using read magic I examine it (will I be able to use this as if it was my spell book or will I have to recopy spells to be able to use them)
If I am able I switch out light for mending and do whatever repairs to our clothing
I also pick up the quills and ink pot
DeleteI wait for morning, and hopefully some healing.
ReplyDeleteApparently morning has come. Folks did not want to search the doors to the east until you had rested.
DeleteBusby regains 1 hp.
Thayross used both of his healing spells on Brother Gronk but Magni can still use his Heavenly Fire on you.
Sure, I heal you for 3.
DeleteBusby is now at 9 hp.
DeleteQ: is there a character summery page like in your other PBB's ?
ReplyDeleteI have one almost completed. I will get a link up in the next few days.
Delete"can we move on now?
ReplyDeletewhat are we waiting on?"
I think we're waiting for items to be identified. Can someone else take a shot at the wand? A CLW would be super handy.
DeleteIf you want someone that can heal during battle we're waiting another day. If you'd rather chance it we can move on.
DeleteThayross could attempt to identify the wand. He has Spellcraft and Detect Magic.
DeleteBrother Gronk grunts as his wounds seal up and disappear. He squints at Thayros. "You pretty useful, bear-man."
ReplyDeleteThanks. I try.
Delete"well Magni, what do you say? can I get some healing, so that we can move on?"
ReplyDeleteGentlemen, The Belt of Tumbling could come handy with some of my skills. Anyone mind if I use it?
ReplyDeleteOr the Daredevil Boots.
DeleteI will let you guys work out who keeps what.
I don't see anything specifically for me, so I'll take what's left.
DeleteI will attemlt to identify the wand using Detect Magic and concentrating until I have gotten every possible bit of information I can that way and then using Spellcraft.
ReplyDelete20
Thayross identifies the wand as casting Cure Light Wounds. It has 44 charges remaining.
DeleteI keep it.
DeleteWhere does the party wish to investigate next; continue west or back to the south and east?
ReplyDeleteMagni goes to the corner and looks around. If there isn't anything threatening, goes south and looks, listens and smells to the West.
ReplyDeleteRolls: 12, 11, 14, 12
south and east. we are looking for a way out.
ReplyDeleteI look, listen and smell to the South East. Practice to learn mending.
ReplyDeleteBrother Gronk grins at Thayross, the first time anyone has seen him smile. It aint pretty. "Good find! You keep, eh? I take boots. Squirrely man gets the belt," he says, staring down at Remy.
ReplyDeleteGRONK will put the boots on, unless you got a problem wit dat?
Busby is still down 6 hp, can he get some clw wand action?
ReplyDeleteI had healed you for 3, and now I heal you for 2 more.
ReplyDeleteThe heavenly fire ability can only be used to heal a good creature once per day.
DeleteNow I'm down 4.
ReplyDeleteI heal Bruce.
ReplyDelete3
I spend a charge to do so.
DeleteBetween the night's rest, the heavenly fire from Magni and the cure lights wounds wand charge, Busby was healed in full.
Delete
