Have we had detect magic cast on everything yet?

Have we had detect magic cast on everything yet?

From the main "Gulls Landing" thread: "Revisit the loot already at hand and what was recently recovered from the sewer campaign. Inquire with Malaguerre if it would be possible to ID some/all.".

I was also thinking that maybe we could use some of the recovered coin to do the same, if needed. Would need some consensus around that though, folks might prefer cash.

[Rex]

I am for IDing anything magical from the treasure before splitting it up.

[Revenant]

Ok, I'm going to assume you ask Nis to Detect Magic on all the loot. Everything listed above identifies as magical except the coins and gems.

[GreyWolfVT]

Hey Rev,

I assume Torvik has the right to promote his recruits to their next ranks is that right?

What would be their next rank up?

just curious.

[tristenc]

Yeah, Nis will help with that. Sorr I can do a longer post later tonight.

Nis will:
-warn Mediphiera about Tenebrae and let her know the other two are dead
-Collect Ducky from the inn
-Try to collect, buy or borrow the incense for the summon familiar spel;
-Assist with any detection/ identification she is able to (whether by nwp skills, magic detection spell, etc)
-Accept the Gallowhawk's invitation to stay
-Check on Abaessa a lot to be sure she is ok

[Revenant]

The next rank above Recruit in the rangers of the Horn is Guardian. As a commander, Torvik has full authority to promote those below him as well as appoint new recruits if he finds a likely prospect.

Oh and happy Saint Paddy's Day!

@Revenant: where are we time frame wise after your last post? Pre/post celebration?

[Revenant]

My current post is a couple hours before the celebration. My next post will catch up to postings that take place during the celebration.

The Sisters Lair:
Vials of black poison (?) (taken by Bryne)

The Hall of Lamentations:
Crow Statue
Northern Commander's Sword & a Fine Furred Cloak
Silver Dagger of exceptional quality.
2 chest of coins totaling 300 gold, 500 silver, 1098 copper.
A chest of gems (5 gems total)
Suspiro's Heavy Black Cloth Cloak
Lamentation's Metal Amulet
2 vials of Drow Poison

Party's special items:
Thena - Rover (longsword) (Heritage Item)
- Golden Ring of Torchlight (Once per day simply by touching it's gem it then emits light as if it was a torch, enabling the wearer to have light without carrying a torch. The light will last 8 hours or until the gem is touched again, dousing the torchlight.)
Mave - Talon (rapier) (Heritage Item)
- Ring of Mossy Blessings (Once per day can cast either Cure Light Wounds or Slow Poison (as per Divine spells). Usable by any class.
Bryne - Valshire Leather Armor (Heritage Item) +1 bonus to Armor Class.
- Short Sword of Lesser Undead Warding (+1 to hit/damage vs. Lesser Undead - Adds +1 bonus to Armor Class when facing Lesser Undead).
- Silver Ring with Shield Emblem (+1 Ring of Protection).
Torvik - Volgundar (Mountain Tooth) (Durvan's shortsword) (Heritage Item) +2 damage when wielded by a dwarf. On a natural 20 it does +1d6 in addition to the normal crit bonus as well as drains a point of Strength from the opponent hit. If its name is spoken when the weapon is drawn it adds a +2 bonus/or +5% bonus to all skills used for the next turn.
Niserie - Seabhag (longbow) (Heritage Item)
- Greenfinger Arrow +1 damage +3 vs. Goblins (Given to Niserie at Archery Competition at the Vagary Fair.)
- Mediphera's Golden Necklace (gift from Mediphera Gaunt)
- Potion of Antidote (Yellow colored, will cure most poisons).
Athan - Zenith (longsword) (Heritage Item) (+1 to hit/damage)
Wilwarin - Nacquesse (longsword) (Heritage Item)
Dorian - Dawnfire (longsword) (Heritage Item)

Notes - Bryne is using the silver ring but it only helps her with the save bonus. The armor class bonus is over ridden by her armor. It would be more effective given to someone else.
Niserie was given Mediphera's Golden Necklace but other than to say it brought her luck, Mediphera didn't say in what way. I wouldn't waste an Identify on that.
Heritage Items - All player characters were given Heritage items that have magical abilities that can be unlocked. Identify will only provide the minor magic it provides rather than its true potential.

Did I forget anything? There are probably some limited use items listed that you already used so I'll need to look my notes over.

[spanningtree]

Thena will grab the following, please confirm these were not taken previously?
Clerical scrolls:

• Bless, Cure Light Wounds
  Invisibility to Undead, Detect Charm
  Know Alignment, Slow Poison, Hold Person

Thena asks the following to be identified:
Northern commanders cloak
Two objects the size of Thena's fist. They feel warm as if made of flesh and undulate slightly at the touch.
Rover

Is it possible to get a value on the gems? We can convert and distribute the gp value.

She will divest herself of the following, that appear to be covered in the master “loot” inventory and anything else she was carrying that belong to the party, like the Raven statue.

• 2 vials unidentified yellowish liquid
  6 vials unidentified red liquid
  4 vials unidentified purple liquid
  50 odd gold coins

[tristenc]

Rev, what do you need from Nis to determine what the vials of unidentified liquids are?

[spanningtree]

I think there may be a lot of poison, or similar, in the haul as well.

[GreyWolfVT]

Torvik is interested in

-Curved Silver Dagger with hilt of ivory shaped into a wolf's head (magical)
-Fire Medallion (magical)

[Revenant]

OK, so of the ten slots these are the current requests for ID:

1) Curved Silver Dagger with hilt of ivory shaped into a wolf's head (From the Finla and her companions)
2) Fire Medallion (From the Brute's chest in Brindleseep tombs)
3) Northern Commander's Cloak (From the Hall of Lamentations)
4) Two objects the size of Thena's fist (From the Finla and her companions)

Anyone can jump in for additional requests. Once we settle on the items being ID'ed I'll total up the stuff you plan to sell and just give you a total worth of those (including gems) which you can then split up.

Regarding potions, Niserie has a base ID chance of 16 (Alchemy Skill + Level rolled on 1d20) to Identify any potion. Each potion can affect that chance as follows:
+2 made before
+1 seen before
-1 never seen
-2 never even heard of
-0 common
-1 uncommon
-2 rare
-3 v rare
-4 or more unique/ custom creation

So roll 1d20 for each potion ID attempt and I will adjust based on the variables.

Any other questions?

[Rex]

Can we hire someone to get the trapped chest open?
