Barrowmaze IV: Delving for Power and Glory

[redwarrior]

If the others are OK with it, Isvand would like to take the rings 85 gold, if I've got the math right.

[OGRE MAGE]

That's fine by me. I think you were the only one who expressed interest. Take 85gp and the rings and I will add the 60gp to the memorial kitty.

[OGRE MAGE]

Revised List

132gp in the memorial kitty

736gp/6= 123gp each (+145 from rings and gem sold)
185sp/6=31sp each

Chocolate Coins = 11.5 each


Magic Item Division

Isvand
Playing card: Jack of Diamonds
A pouch of 666 silver pieces. There is a note in the pouch that cautions the owner not to spend the coins but to cast them, spread across a floor in order to act as some special caltrops that would hinder a werewolf or other silver vulnerable creatures from crossing.

Orgoth
An ornate helm crafted in the style of a pinnacled dome and etched with ancient scripts. It has an adjustable nose bar and hinged cheek and ear plates. A skirting mail coif protects the exposed neck and throat of the wearer. (Needs to be Identified)
A porcelain skull in the shape of a boar's head. The apple in its mouth has a slot in it and the head rattles indicating coins inside. "Feed me" is written on the side.

Gerdal
A curved kopesh type short sword. The handle is made from a dyed ivory or bone, the blade, sharpened on the outer edge is exquisitely refined.
A single gold necklace designed as a long stem with thorns and ending in an inset jet gemstone carved in the pattern of a blossoming rose (Healing? Needs to be Identified)
A drawstring pouch containing nine human fingers, each has a colorful ribbon tied to it.

Sven
A burlap sack with a green goblin head, made from Malachite (Needs to be Identified)
A small flask with leaded panes and rosy stained glass. It contains some viscous syrup. It has a zest and spark to it that provokes an inner energy or revitalization but the potion is not a typical healing variety. (Needs to be Identified)
Potion of Healing

Clerics or Party Treasure
Truro: Small tin containing some sewing needles and threads, spare buttons, shoelace Magical-Mending spell
Amos: A potion bottle, an unknown elixir none of you are familiar with. The flask is well sealed with a waxed cork. Potion of Diminution?
Party: A short sword in a scabbard. When withdrawn you see that instead of an iron blade there is a large iron key attached to the hilt.

Still needs to be appraised and split up: Bringing to Ironguard to sell
Two sapphires
Two large egg sized diamonds (from helm coffer)
1 Rust Monster Egg

These are figured in with the loose coin already, but if anyone wants them as their share of the gold we get from the gems instead, please speak up. Sven would take the block of Amber if nobody else wants it.
Gold statuette of a woman in a loose toga type dress. (200gp)
A block of Amber, about the size of a hand soap which contains the preserved body of a miniature stag beetle. (200gp)
A Mammoth and baby mammoth ivory figurine set on an ebony stand. (200gp)

Anyone want one of these? Mark them on your sheet as I doubt they hold any value.
Cement Severed Hands
Black Cultist Cloaks

[redwarrior]

Isvand will claim the silver ring with the moonstone and drop his GP accordingly.

[OGRE MAGE]

Sounds good.

The silver ring with an inset, pale milky blue Moonstone. (50gp) Goes to Isvand and he takes 50gp off his sheet.

[Spearmint]

Remember in your planning and rest to include the Ossithrax tapestry. After the initial two weeks work (May 7th) you are due to pay the remaining balance and Gerdal might consider adding a further Mending spell to the task.

[Rex]

I am good with everything.

[OGRE MAGE]

Legolas voice: We’re taking the tapestry to Ironguard!

We won’t forget about the most valuable thing we own.

Everyone should keep in mind the pile of gold they still have coming from the sales of the diamonds, tapestry, etc. All we have to do is make it back from the big city alive.

[OGRE MAGE]

Sven

"Say Gerdal. Are you still willing to go and lend your hand to the tapestry completion? We can lower the cost and time it takes to finish while increasing the value if you are willing to cast more of your Mending magic upon it. I still want to learn that spell myself, but I have a few other things to deal with first, and I don't know if I will have time to master it before we leave or not."

And Orgoth, if you are out of tasks and errands, perhaps you would be willing to procure us a ride on one of the Silver Standard coaches heading to Ironguard next? Tell them we will work as guards for free transport or something."

Just a few suggestions to keep the action moving. Sven can do these things too, if you prefer.

[Rex]

Orgoth

Orgoth posted about his ingot and a ride to Ironguard.

[sastaz]

Gerdal will answer in the Brazen Strumpet dialogue.

[Spearmint]

Clerics or Party Treasure
Truro: Small tin containing some sewing needles and threads, spare buttons, shoelace Magical-Mending spell
Amos: A potion bottle, an unknown elixir none of you are familiar with. The flask is well sealed with a waxed cork. Potion of Diminution?

I will add these to the NPC notes. Truro uses the mending kit to enhance his own habit with a bit of ecclesiastical flair, paying a seamstress to tailor in some Ygg red cross tabard and notching his mace with bone trinkets from creatures he helped banish.

Amos adds the potion to his inventory.

Both return to the Mercenary Guild, taking a few days to rest, recuperate and offer their own Thanksgiving rituals. Any further share of coins can just be noted as paid to them.

The gnomes return to the village taking the three Iron Cobras. The living one is studied, the two deceased bastardised and stripped for parts and experiments. They will stay in Helix rather than venture to Ironguard. Konrad has only just begun to study the ingot left with him. He has no more to add at this stage except that it is used in the construction of golems and the ingot could be smelted down and added to more iron to augment a new blade.

Gerdal might consider adding a further Mending spell to the task.

posting in the tavern thread. You can visit Valeron the elf, cast the Mending spell upon the tapestry. He informs you that Ollis, the chamberlain has enquired regarding it and that Mazzah popped over to view the 3-D effect the weavers are seeing into the dragon image.

You have a further +200gp to pay for the work to complete and may take the tapestry off the loom on June 2nd. (So another 10 days or so depending on when you visit).

Party: A short sword in a scabbard. When withdrawn you see that instead of an iron blade there is a large iron key attached to the hilt.

I have this listed with Isvand. It has no enchantment. It is either 'a big ornament key' or 'it opens a big lock'.

[redwarrior]

Got the sword/key in inventory

[sastaz]

I guess we put in 50 gp each for the tapestry?

[OGRE MAGE]

I thought Sven had been financing the tapestry process so far but now I don’t remember if the 4 of us ever squared up on all that or not. (I know the NPC’s have been appeased but still get a cut from the gems) I will need to go back and check the threads.

Our posts are all over the place again, so I am trying to track everything we need to do down in several different places. Please remind me if I miss a response or two along the way.

[Spearmint]

Ossithrax tapestry

Conversation with Valeron on May 6th (village thread #117).

B) spider silk threads, artisan refurbishment using fine point gold needles, specialist 'Mending' enchanted micro-work, 3D effect on dragon to give visual appearance of wings moving. 500gp in labour and materials and one month in time. (Potential to increase value five fold)

Sell as is, exported to Ironguard via Silver Standard, value d4+4 hundred gp worth.

Sven agrees with the offer, happy they are willing to work with us. He agrees to pay for the spell fees and hands 200 gold coins to get the job started."

The two Mending castings lower cost by 100gp and shorten finish time by four days.

[Rex]

I don't think Orgoth has chipped in yet.

[redwarrior]

Nor has Isvand, but he's more than willing.

[sastaz]

Same for Gerdal!

[OGRE MAGE]

Of course you’re willing, for an increase of 5x the value.

Sven can take care of it for now and I’ll take it out of your shares. I’m looking forward to seeing what we get for this stuff.
