Examining loot - DM Marcin Friday July 18th, 2008 9:58:01 AM
"Shrinking and hiding the sarcophagus somewhere safe? This might be a good idea. Of course it is quite possible that magic tampering with the container could upset the seals. If getting rid of it was just as easy as putting it in a magic bag and throwing it out over the ocean nobody would have bothered to sacrifice a whole ship to put it to rest. It might be that the only way to safely move it is by physical strength. Hmm, I wonder why they didn't ask a dragon to carry it to its final destination. Maybe they didn't trust us?"
The pair of messengers bids Arrak goodbye and is soon on their way back. When they arrive they find the rest of the party busy examining the loot.
[A brief explanation about the demon armor: it is a single piece, the gauntlets are an integral part of it and are not removable.]
[Three bags of coins: Appraise DC22: Highlight to display spoiler: {These used to be worth about a thousand gold, but are now much more valuable because there are many rare and old coins in the mix. The Catacombs would probably pay 8,000 gp for it and still make a profit selling it later piecemeal to collectors.}]
[A bag of gems: Appraise DC18 Highlight to display spoiler: {There is nothing special here. The gems are worth about 500 gp.}]
[The demon armour: Appraise DC30: Highlight to display spoiler: {A wealthy collector of oddities or a research wizard could be expected to pay 30,000 gp for this.}]]
[The feathers and rings are magic and their worth can't be fully learned until they are identified.]

Upon arriving back on board Jova sees the items that were literally otherworldly.
"So lets just shrink the shi[. with the org inside it. Then hVEW aRIEN SWIM IT TO AN UNDERWATER CAAVE. tHAT WAY ANYTHING SUMMONED FROM THE ORB WOULD DROWN, AND ALSO THE THING IN THE COFFIN WQOULD AS well. It seems those people frpom the other plane hae left this as a surprise. Or maybe they did not want to deal wioth it on thier plane.:
ooc- sorry bout the caps lock, wrote it 3 times wont change.

Dwight looks to Jova and wonders if all of him made the teleport as he sounds slightly off. :)
"I suspect the magic keeping it afloat won't let us shrink the ship and hide it. And I'd be against putting a curse coffin with the orb. If a lich or something got out, only to find the orb next to him, it would likely mean big trouble for someone because of us. We will have to find something else to do with the orb."

When Vedik and Jova return from Lord Arrak's Tratain says "How was the trip? Did Lord Arrak have any useful advice for us?"
When Jova makes his suggestion Tratain says "I agree with Dwight, If it was as simple as sinking this ship it would be done already, theres a giant hole in the bottom of the ship and it shows no signs of sinking yet. Also, you are assuming that anything coming out of the Orb requires Air Like we do, since they come from another plane of existence trying to drown them may not work as well as you would like, and besides any moderately powerful spell caster can make a person able to breath in water."
He continues "I think we should return to the Shrine and see what is going on there, the orb right now is as safe as we can make it. And this ship has been floating out here undisturbed for who knows how long. After we finish with our task from the consortium and deal with the orb we can always teleport back here and deal with the curse as well. If there aren't any big objections Jova could you transport us back to the shrine?"

Draax smiles, "I agree, we should take care of each threat to the existence of the wold, one at a time."

Monthor somehow has found some food to eat... In between bites... " Yes... one at a time... or better yet... get them all in one room and me'll bash them all at once... saves time that way... "
