Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 31/50 (Spells) Saturday December 8th, 2012 1:36:30 PM
Restlin ponders. "How long, Zeoll? I'm thinking we get him home, clean him up, get him in bed and make him sleep...I can handle that...then we make him forget & let his parents wake him & declare it was all a dream. I mean, goldfish turning into dragons? He needs to stop hanging out with crazy old men."
Toby --Jim C Saturday December 8th, 2012 4:08:22 PM "You know I can hear you, right?!" Toby was not at all thrilled with the idea of being magically manipulated, but then again, Toby didn't like much of anything.
The captain and his crew help stow what the group has, namely the chest--since nothing else was found on the other wrecks other than waterlogged and unserviceable mundane items--there didn't seem to be any corpses left either.
The trip back to Hook City is uneventful and it's almost hard to relax cause of all the gold onboard and the likelihood of pirates--which are unheard of in this area, always spring to mind. But the journey was peaceful and the kids quiet. When you arrive at the docks, the captain orders his crew to help unload the groups goods. Some of you think that it would be a very wise idea to hide the gold or not speak of it in such an environment.
Now that you're back in Hook City, Labortown at least, what are you going to do with Toby and Rachel? Any other actions you wish to take before I start the next module?
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:23/16/16 HP: 62/62 CMD = 23 (hero point spent) Sunday December 9th, 2012 10:40:22 PM
ooc: We need to divide up loot and do any needed shopping. So we can plan, is the next module going to end before the 1st?
Jim: yes, the next module will end before the DM Migration January 7th.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 31/50 (Spells) Monday December 10th, 2012 8:05:37 AM
"We should hand the children over to the Hook City officials. The less I see of this twerp," the wizard motions to Toby, "the better. There's also the matter of payment for services rendered for Hook City. I say we go do that immediately."
On the way, the wizard will pretidigitize everyone as clean as he can. It would be unseemly to saunter in smelling of the sea and and days w/o bathing.
Wyaar (JonL) AC 27/17/22 CMD 23 HP 62/62 Monday December 10th, 2012 8:38:05 AM
"I agree. We need to get the children back to their families and inform the authorities so the case can be closed. As for the fee perhaps we can donate t to Toby's family to put towards tuition for military school?"
Zeoll (HP49 of 49, AC23, CMD15) Monday December 10th, 2012 10:34:06 AM
"We werre given this job by the authorrities, so taking the kids therre makes the most sense."
"Although I think Toby would love to play with the kids in ourr towerr."
Zane Stormfront AC 27 CMD 23 HP 63/63 d20+1=8 ; d20+1=7 ; Monday December 10th, 2012 1:53:43 PM
Zane, tries to intimidate Toby one last time with his comment. "I think the lower chamber would be perfect for Toby, you did hear that I found an Iron Maiden down there didn't you?"
Intimidate 8 Bluff 7
Zeoll (HP49 of 49, AC23, CMD15) Monday December 10th, 2012 7:39:28 PM
Zeoll chuckles at Zane's truly laughable attempts to bluff and intimidate. "Not to worrry, Toby, old fellow. We'll just take you to the authorrities, and they can get you back to yourr family orr rreforrmatorry frrom which you escaped."
Toby --Jim C Monday December 10th, 2012 7:42:08 PM "Hmph"
Inspector Auslander -- Jim C Monday December 10th, 2012 7:46:32 PM
The group, bascially as a whole, decide to take the kids to the authorities, but Toby with Rachel in tow will have nothing to do with it as they burst away from the group into the crowd. The group could chase after, but why bother. That poor Rachel, is all that some could think. Soon they end up at the local constabulary and speak to Inspector Auslander himself. Thanking the group profusely, since he's already heard they're back before the group could even make it in to see him, he gives the group their reward. Paper bonds worth a total of 1000gp. "I know it may not be much to you guys, but this was a small case, and well, not real important to some people and ther 'Bigger Picture' way of thinking. Nonetheless thank you for your help in this case."
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 31/50 (Spells) Monday December 10th, 2012 8:40:05 PM
"Tell me again why we do these chores for the city," is all Restlin can muster once they're on the way home.
"I'm getting home, taking a bath and giving the proverbial finger to this place before I go spend some of our money."
***
68200 gold after we sell that sword, assuming Beri doesn't want to keep it.
Wyaar (JonL) AC 27/17/22 CMD 23 HP 62/62 Monday December 10th, 2012 8:50:16 PM
"Because no one else either can or will, my friend". Wyaar says in response to Restlin and thinks that home a bd and a bath sounds like a splendid idea.

How much down time until the next module?
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:23/16/16 HP: 62/62 CMD = 23 (hero point spent) Monday December 10th, 2012 9:46:08 PM Besides, you're missing one of the most valuable things we got from this. How many adventuring parties currently have stories floating around town involving there adventures with not one, but TWO dragons? In the end that simple missing person job is going to increase our reputation ten fold.
ooc: The problem with that sword is that it's most useful when we can't see, and that is typically a situation we want to get out of ASAP. I say we sell it.
Zeoll (HP49 of 49, AC23, CMD15) Monday December 10th, 2012 10:55:54 PM
At the office of the Inspector, Zeoll is happy to shake Asperger's hand and take his credit. "We arre herroes, and prround to do this worrk forr its own rrewarrd. That said, good sirr, yourr thanks is most welcome. Please call on us again at yourr need."
=====
Later, Zeoll thinks about the sword. "It would be best for a dwarrf orr otherr crreaturre with darrkvision. A Shadowdancerr might pay top gold for it. But failing that, surre, to the Catacombs."
Gloom blade -- Jim C Monday December 10th, 2012 11:26:15 PM
The gloom blade is a nonstandard magic item, hence a fate item and cannot be sold in the Catacombs.
Bosk AC: 30/14/27 CMD:23 HP 64 of 64 Spells Monday December 10th, 2012 11:32:03 PM
Bosk thanks the inspector. It was our pleasure, and we hope to be of more help to you and the city in the future. The cleric joins the others in their trip to their catacombs and then spends some time finishing his crafting project.
Bosk AC: 30/14/27 CMD:23 HP 64 of 64 Spells Monday December 10th, 2012 11:35:58 PM
After a moments thought Bosk begins to think out loud. Do you suppose we could enchant the sword with a permanent magical darkness spell of some sort? That would be really beneficial.
Zeoll (HP49 of 49, AC23, CMD15) d20+13=27 ; d20+20=30 ; Tuesday December 11th, 2012 6:21:51 AM
Zeoll tries to recall any details he may have heard about this blade. [using memory domain reroll while I still can ... Know Arcana check ... rolls a 27 and, with reroll, a 30.
"I seem to rrecall, maybe, that this is a weapon used by the underrworrld rraces ... like the drrow. That would make sense."
Zeoll answers Bosk, "The Darrkness spell lasts the length of a battle, and Deeperr Darrkness, longerr still. Likely we can just use those at need. But the rreal trrick is that it worrks best when all norrmal sight, including Darrkvision, fails. That makes it most useful to a crreature that does not rrely on sight at all, using blindsense or blindsight or trremorrsense, or verry keen hearring."
Zeoll thinks about that. "Ourr best bet may be to hold onto it forr now and seek a collectorr. It is likely rrarre and worrth a lot to the rright buyerr."
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 31/50 (Spells) Tuesday December 11th, 2012 9:36:07 AM
"True seeing would work," Restlin comments. "We could all get true seeing enchantments on something we wear, like a pendant or whatnot, & fight all our battles in the dark."
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:23/16/16 HP: 62/62 CMD = 23 (hero point spent) Tuesday December 11th, 2012 6:49:34 PM Well, as long as will be holding onto the sword for a while I'm happy to carry it around, never know when it could come in handy. Though I am a bit skittish after Lowd's weapons, would someone mind casting detect evil on the it when they have a chance.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 31/50 (Spells) d20+24=40 ; Tuesday December 11th, 2012 9:02:17 PM
"Hmm...let me see that."
Restlin will cast identify on the sword tomorrow, just to be sure it's a standard Gloom Blade.
***
Spellcraft = 40 - Identify an item w/ a CL up to 25.
Zane Stormfront AC 27 CMD 23 HP 63/63 Tuesday December 11th, 2012 9:32:26 PM "Anyone have any crafting time available? if not I have some other things I can grab to supplement my gear."
"As to checking out that blade, it's beyond my capabilities."
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 31/50 (Spells) Tuesday December 11th, 2012 9:46:48 PM
"I can make you a wand or ring. We have nothing on tap now, so I say we get crafty..."
Bosk AC: 30/14/27 CMD:23 HP 64 of 64 Spells Tuesday December 11th, 2012 11:03:06 PM
Bosk cast detect evil on Beri's sword. I am in the middle of a crafting project right now and I believe I have one more to complete after this.
ooc: I'll double check tomorrow after my last exam. I think I finished my current project today, but I am not sure. I will also check what my next item was going to be. I might be able to put it off a bit longer if no other crafters are available.
Bosk AC: 30/14/27 CMD:23 HP 64 of 64 Spells Tuesday December 11th, 2012 11:59:01 PM
Bosk turns to Zane. It looks like my current project is complete. What were you looking at having my craft for you? I have materials to craft a few items for myself, but most of them aren't a high priority. I am not sure how much time we'll have before our net assignment, but if it is within my skill level I will see what I can do to make it for you.
crafting time -- Jim C Wednesday December 12th, 2012 12:42:29 AM
You have 28 days to craft.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 31/50 (Spells) Wednesday December 12th, 2012 1:58:56 AM
"Say Bosk, if you could create me an efficient quiver, I'd really appreciate it."
crafting time -- Jim C Wednesday December 12th, 2012 2:23:16 AM
Anyone who is crafting, I need the name of the item, if you're using Gillans Fast Forge, how many days it will take (one item taking 3.5 days and another taking 3.25 days is a total of 8 days--you cannot start crafting a magic item the same day you have finished one) and your spellcraft rolls unless it's an autosuccess.
Zeoll (HP49 of 49, AC23, CMD15) d20+10=30 ; d20+22=34 ; Wednesday December 12th, 2012 6:56:34 AM
Zeoll goes to bed pondering the dilemma of what magical item to make next. That night he has a dream ...
Zeoll stands in the rooftop garden of the Iron Tower the group's home. It is night, and the sky is clear -- clearer than the always-on magical lights and mundane smokes of the city would ever allow in reality. Zeoll looks at the stars, and he reaches up to them. They are too far for him to reach, but he strains ... up ... up ...
In his dream, there is a constellation of a great warrior striding the heavens. Does such a constellation exist in the Wold's night sky? In Zeoll's dream, it is Great Orion, the Hunter, but to Zeoll it is clearly the constellation of Domi.
Domi, who once said to Zeoll, "Now it is up to you to prove that all three aspects of Taur can unite in spite of their differences...that all three make up a nigh-unbeatable force for good in the Wold." Zeoll remembers how his group did not unite the Taur races. Could not even stay united as a band of adventurers, and fell apart.
Zeoll reaches up to star-Domi. He leaps up ... up ... and his fingers barely touch the god's belt ... and then he falls ... down ... down ... back to the Wold. The giant figure laughs at the prone liontaur, removes his belt, and tosses it down to Zeoll. Somehow, it is not the belt that he expected ...
Zeoll wakes, and tries to interpret his dream. He decides that it is an answer to his question: What should I make?
The next day, Zeoll goes shopping in Hook City for the finest leather, and a platinum buckle, beautifully crafted. After all, can Hook City -- the Wold's most magical city, be a lesser place to shop than the Catacombs? He gathers all the ingredients he will need. He will spend all of his loot from this adventure, and also his Manacles of Cooperation -- never used, although Toby had tempted him.
Zeoll will spend the next 16 days crafting a Belt of Physical Perfection, +2. At the Catacombs, the parts would cost 8,000 gp -- but Zeoll will spend more to source the parts locally. The Spellcraft DC to make the CL17 item is 22. He cannot cast the three spells -- bear's endurance, bull's strength, cat's grace -- required. That hoists the spellcraft DC by 15, to 37. Zeoll's spellcraft is at +10. He says -- for the first time in many years -- a brief prayer to Domi, and does his best. Amazingly, he rolls a natural 20! A spellcraft check of 30! Praise Domi!
Of course, a 30 is still 7 under the required DC. Oops, it seems that Zeoll has missed the DC by five or more, with his natural 20. and per the rules, "Failing this check by 5 or more results in a cursed item (see Cursed Items for more information)."
Zeoll looks closely at his new "Belt of Physical Perfection +2," wondering what he has wrought. He casts Identify, a spell he does know, and takes a really close look.
Spellcraft check to ID his magic item: 34.
OOC to Kindly DM Jim: Highlight to display spoiler: {I wanted to give you a chance before we are done for hilarity and hijinks, Jim! LOL!}
Bosk AC: 30/14/27 CMD:23 HP 64 of 64 Spells Wednesday December 12th, 2012 10:48:00 AM
Bosk shakes his head in response to Restlin's request. Not unless you cas cast the Secret Chest spell needed for it. Through a strange twist of fate I no longer have access to the Secrete Chest, my odds of failure would be too high for my liking without access to the spell.
Zeoll (HP49 of 49, AC23, CMD15) Wednesday December 12th, 2012 10:53:42 AM
OOC: "Secrete Chest" ... OUCH! That hurts too much to even think about. :-)
James I think I need to research that in the BGC!
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:23/16/16 HP: 62/62 CMD = 23 (hero point spent) Wednesday December 12th, 2012 10:59:05 AM Would anyone be able to craft an Animated Mithral Heavy Shield for me during our down time?
Bosk AC: 30/14/27 CMD:23 HP 64 of 64 Spells Wednesday December 12th, 2012 11:09:17 AM
Bosk shakes his head. I don't think so. That is a magic armor craft, and last checked our group has no one with that skill...unless someone took that feat last level and I forgot about it.
Restlin, would you have time to upgrade my ring of protection from +2 to +3? This isn't a high priority thing and it would take a few days, so no worries if you need to spend your time scribing scrolls or helping others.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 31/50 (Spells) Wednesday December 12th, 2012 1:45:01 PM
"Yup, I can do that. I'm going to have a bunch of scrolls to copy into my book soon, but that won't take too long."
Wyaar (JonL) AC 27/17/22 CMD 23 HP 62/62 Wednesday December 12th, 2012 1:49:13 PM
Wyaar would ask for some crafting time for some of his stuff for the group. Specifics later.
Zane Stormfront AC 27 CMD 23 HP 63/63 Wednesday December 12th, 2012 2:04:42 PM
Zane having thought it over, "Restlin, I too would like my ring increased from +2 to +3, but if you have not the time, it's OK. I'm planning on going to the Catacombs and buying a Belt of Dexterity and a couple beads of Campfire. The latter will be of use to the group, but I'll pay for them. I'm also interested in getting a continual flame cast on the burner inside my hooded lantern. That way I have a light source that I can shut off and on."
Bosk AC: 30/14/27 CMD:23 HP 64 of 64 Spells Wednesday December 12th, 2012 2:31:52 PM I can cast continual flame if you take care material components. I suggest taking the wick out and casting the spell on that rather than the whole lantern. It will make it easier to cover up the light when you want darkness.
Zane, was there something you said you wanted me to craft for you?
ooc: I can do it for free if Jim lets me summon a lantern archon and he allows it to cast the spell, but I try not to abuse that trick.
Jim: if you have the spell, use it. Other than combat, Summon Monsters can be useful in other applications and I think they should be used when you can.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 31/50 (Spells) Wednesday December 12th, 2012 2:48:19 PM
Restlin nods to Zane. "No problem! I just need a couple of days to copy some new spells into my book, but I'll have enough time for both rings."
***
Restlin cannot fail the spellcraft check for the rings o' protection. Spend the money for the mats and consider them crafted.
Bosk AC: 30/14/27 CMD:23 HP 64 of 64 Spells d20+15=26 ; Wednesday December 12th, 2012 5:58:04 PM
While Bosk contemplates which of his personal projects he will do he begins work on Restlin's efficient quiver. He prays for guidance and a steady hand, slightly worried about not being able to cast one of the spells. Fortunately luck is with him and the wizard and he is not only able to easily craft the item, but he could have rushed it a bit more and gotten it done in half the time without a problem. Smiling he hands it to the wizard. On the outside of the quiver are two scenes of Restlin, one depicting him fighting a dragon with a straight razor and and the other of Restlin riding proudly one the dragon's back carrying the black blade as his trophy. It turned out rather well, if I do say so myself.
Actions --------------------- Craft efficient quiver for Restlin DC 19 needed. Succeeded with a 26. (DC 9 + 5 to craft + for 5 for not having Secret Chest spell = 19)
Bosk AC: 30/14/27 CMD:23 HP 64 of 64 Spells Wednesday December 12th, 2012 5:58:40 PM

Bosk next begins crafting a robe of useful (taur sized) items for himself, this time deciding to work a little faster than he did on Restlin's item, knowing he wouldn't feel as bad about wrecking his own project than he would a group members. None the less, he keeps luck charm handy and prepares to use a hero point is it is close. Fortunately, the odds are very much in his favor. After much hard work his robe is a huge success, with more patches than he dared hope for and he managed to craft into it a pit and an iron door, the very reason he crafted the cloak in the first place.
Actions ----------------- Craft Robe of useful items. Need a 24 to craft at an accelerated rate, rolled a 26 # of extra patches = 4d4 = 11 parches #1 = 100 gp #2 = 100 gp #3 = pit 10x10x10 #4 = potion of cure serious wounds #5 = 24ft ladder #6 = Iron Door #7 = 24 ft ladder #8 = 24 ft ladder #9 = Pair of War Dogs #10 = Potion Cure Serious Wounds #11 = Mule with saddle bag
Zane Stormfront AC 27 CMD 23 HP 63/63 Wednesday December 12th, 2012 7:04:06 PM "Bosk, I'm gonna be interested in a slotless robe of arcane heritage, eventually. But I think upgrading my ring is more urgent right now, mainly because until I can cast a bit more powerful magiks, it's not completely important. But, just keep it in mind, it will be important.
Can you craft a Belt of Dexterity +2? If not it's no biggy"
crafting time -- Jim C Wednesday December 12th, 2012 7:22:47 PM
Please be aware the new module has been approved and I will post the first post of said module on Friday, so plan accordingly :)
Bosk AC: 30/14/27 CMD:23 HP 64 of 64 Spells Wednesday December 12th, 2012 7:27:33 PM
Bosk quickly does the math on his fingers counting out the days. Upgrade Beri's belt of Dex to +4, Make a Belt of Dex +2 for Zane, Restlin's quiver....yes...yes I should have time to do that belt for you. I will need someone to cast Cat's Grace for me, but i believe we have a few people that can cast that so it shouldn't be a problem.
ooc: any volunteers to cast Cat's Grace for me?
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:23/16/16 HP: 62/62 CMD = 23 (hero point spent) Wednesday December 12th, 2012 7:40:45 PM Guess that's a no on the shield, Bosk will you have time to upgrade my belt of dexterity?
Bosk AC: 30/14/27 CMD:23 HP 64 of 64 Spells Wednesday December 12th, 2012 7:41:58 PM Sure thing, just bring me the materials from the Giggling Ghost.

Restlin arrives home feeling far dirtier and tired than he's comfortable with. A long bath tinged with lavender oil and several hours of sleep later, he's much better.
Inspecting the Gloom Blade further, it strikes him that it was his reward from Finn. As such, he decides to keep it, mounting it for the moment above his bed. Perhaps it will bring him luck some day.
The next morning he heads out for the Catacombs to blow all his hard earned money. He spends the next several days pouring over scrolls and copying them into his spellbook. Ironically, the Confusion spell confuses him, taking him a straight two weeks to figure out.
When handed his new quiver, Restlin's eyes light up. "This is great, Bosk! It looks just like that stupid dragon!" He's more than happy to spend the next several days upgrading Bosk & Zane's rings o' protection to +3.
However, after 27 days of all this wizardy stuff, Restlin's ready to come apart at the seams. "THIS IS SO BORING," the wizard cries out one afternoon. "Isn't there someone trying to invade the city or kidnap it's children? If we don't go adventuring soon, I'm having a come apart."
Zane Stormfront AC 27 CMD 23 HP 63/63 Wednesday December 12th, 2012 8:18:52 PM
Zane hands Bosk the Belt materials as well as the 50 gp of Ruby Dust for the Continual Flame, and Restlin the Ring and the materials needed to upgrade it. He then spends some time practicing with his bow, and the new tattoo he got on his forearm, that of an arrow bursting through a tree. (Gravity Bow Brahmah's Tattoo)
He also spends time using the Towers outside as a jungle gym and spending time meditating refocusing himself, something about that brat Toby threw him off kilter.
Zeoll (HP49 of 49, AC23, CMD15) Thursday December 13th, 2012 6:27:34 AM
Zeoll looks at his new belt, trying to analyze the results of his audacious experiment.
Perhaps he will even try it on.
After he is done, he will lend a hand to his comrades with their crafting ... if he survives!
Bosk AC: 30/14/27 CMD:23 HP 64 of 64 Spells Thursday December 13th, 2012 10:49:20 AM
ooc: Come on belt of Gender Change, Hello Zellona!
Zeoll (HP49 of 49, AC23, CMD15) Thursday December 13th, 2012 12:14:34 PM
OOC: You mean Zoë.
:-)
Jim: until you try it on, you won't know :)
Zeoll (HP49 of 49, AC23, CMD15) Thursday December 13th, 2012 1:47:44 PM
OOC: What!? Kindly DM Jim, you mean Spellcraft 34 with an Identify spell does not reveal what it is? Well if that's the case, Zeoll / Zoë will try it on! Otherwise, why make the thing?
Zeoll foolishly decides to try on his enigmatic new belt. He's not completely crazy, though ... he'll do so one morning in the tower common room with everyone on hand who is willing to (witness the fiasco / risk the fireball) ... after he divests himself of all his other magic items and spell components pouch ... with Heroism cast on himself and both his Natural Divination abilities set to help his saving throws!
OOC: Can anyone cast a remove curse?
OOC: And DM Jim, how much did Zeoll have to (pay / waste) to source the materials locally? The Catacombs would have charged 8 grand. You want I should roll some rolls to gather info on best/cheapest magic shops in the city?
Later ... assuming he survives ... Zeoll says, "I knew I should not have bought that discount unicorrn hairr in the barrgain bin at Crrazy Al's Used Magik Emporrium and Tattoo Parrlorr!"
Bosk AC: 30/14/27 CMD:23 HP 64 of 64 Spells Thursday December 13th, 2012 1:56:05 PM
You are in luck, Bosk regularly prepares remove curse as one of his daily spells figuring the group is bound to need it.
Zeoll's Belt -- Jim C Thursday December 13th, 2012 2:19:22 PM
After donning the belt that Zeoll painstakingly made, nothing happens.
Then suddenly,
<insert scottish accent>
"Oh looky here! Oh yes, aren't I perfect, aren't I just the best damn belt you've ever seen?! Look at the supple cuts of my leather, feel it, feel it I tell you! Oh yes, jimmy boy, you've got it all going on with this belt hanging on your waist! Oh... what is that? Have you no shame, jimmy boy? You've got no pants on! And here I am right by your twig and berries! Ach, I think I'm going to vomit on me'self!" All that is heard for the next minute are the sounds of dry heaving coming from the belt, then it stops.
Cost is the same as the Catacombs.

Bosk spends much of the next few weeks crafting in the tower working on a variety of projects both for himself and for the group. It is tiresome work, but his ring of sustenance helps him to work steadily without even needing breaks for meals. When he is not working he checks around with his contacts to see if anyone had heard from Heather's family and to see if Toby has gotten into any more trouble. In the evenings he spends his time training at the WLA and improving his skill with the bastard sword.
Before Zeoll tries on the belt Bosk asks him to use his divination power to see if he can discover anything about the gold box they retrieved from Lowd or the location of Heather's Family. As the liontaur puts on the belt Bosk stands ready to remove the curse if necessary.

Zeoll (HP49 of 49, AC23, CMD15) Thursday December 13th, 2012 2:52:56 PM
Zeoll laughs and dons his usual garb in fall colors. "Sorrry, Sirr Belt," he says. "I did not mean to offend!"
Zeoll flexes his muscles, takes some deep breaths, twiddles his thumbs, and tries to determine if the belt does grant a +2 to Str, Dex, and Con.
He continues to engage the belt in conversation, wondering if it is intelligent. That would be something.

Bosk keep watching to see what will happen next, none too thrilled with the idea of a sentient object in the tower. Its very existance a mokery of life...
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 31/50 (Spells) Thursday December 13th, 2012 7:31:55 PM
"Cool, another object in our growing collection! Uncurse the poor liontaur and toss the belt next to that brand."
Zane Stormfront AC 27 CMD 23 HP 63/63 Thursday December 13th, 2012 7:59:46 PM "I take it we collect cursed items for kicks?"
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 31/50 (Spells) Thursday December 13th, 2012 9:43:09 PM
"Everyone needs a hobby, Zane. This is ours."
Wyaar (JonL) AC 27/17/22 CMD 23 HP 62/62 Thursday December 13th, 2012 10:03:44 PM
Wyaar hands Restlin a scroll and small sack of goodies, "Present for you... or for me through you if you have the time, my friend."
"The belt seems to be a fine conversationalist. Perhaps we could get the girls to carry it around.."
Zeoll's Belt -- Jim C Thursday December 13th, 2012 10:50:40 PM
The belt seems to be on mute at the present--maybe it's random. Also, it doesn't seem to want to come off.
Bosk AC: 30/14/27 CMD:23 HP 64 of 64 Spells Thursday December 13th, 2012 11:06:49 PM I say leave it on him for now. Let him live with the belt for a while and hopefully it will teach him not to randomly try on cursed object.
ooc: Bosk will make the bard wear the belt a while and wait until Zeoll is not looking and then casting remove curse, just in case the belt compels him to keep it on. The reason for waiting is in no small part because the belt amuses him.
ooc: I would wait longer, but I want the belt off before we start the net module.
Jim: remove curse does not remove the cursed item, just allows him to take it off in the 6 second time frame the spell gives him. You cannot sell this item in the Catacombs.
Beriothian (Will)-- AC:23/16/16 HP: 62/62 CMD = 23 (hero point spent) Thursday December 13th, 2012 11:16:11 PM Zeoll's not wearing pants? All of a sudden the girls love and fascination with Zeoll is a little creepy.
Zeoll (HP49 of 49, AC23, CMD15) Friday December 14th, 2012 7:02:06 AM
It's not that Zeoll wants to offend -- it's just that he's racially prohibited!
Zeoll spends his extra time trying to figure out his belt. Does it make him stronger, faster, tougher? What magic kind of magic does it detect? He uses his Read Dream ability to try to find out more.
Jim: In all other respects, the belt acts exactly as you crafted.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC: 17/14/15 CMD: 15 HP: 31/50 (Spells) Friday December 14th, 2012 12:00:14 PM
Restlin will, of course, cast any and all spells required for crafting.
During the course of his time off, Restlin's studies take a turn. He decides to buckle down and get serious about his craft. Several mind-breaking evenings later, a disheveled Restlin walks downstairs and instantly appears in the kitchen. He grabs an apple to eat, turns around, and instantly appears next to Zeoll.
"This divination and enchantment stuff is starting to hurt my head. You can handle it from now on."
The wizard takes a bite, glares at it for not being a pierogi, and teleports over to the staircase before walking up to his room again.
***
So liontaurs can't wear pants...could they get away with a blanket slot? Far be it from me to compare them to mounts, but something like a horse-blanket should be doable.
Also, I performed some surgery on Restlin. He's now a conjurer as opposed to a universalist. Zeoll handles divination and enchantment (exception: calm emotions) better than Restlin can, so those are his opposing schools.
Bosk AC: 30/14/27 CMD:23 HP 64 of 64 Spells Friday December 14th, 2012 12:11:59 PM
ooc: I'll check over Restlin and everyone else's sheets over break to make sure they are up to date for the new DMs.
Zane Stormfront AC 27 CMD 23 HP 63/63 Friday December 14th, 2012 8:08:33 PM
Zane just shakes his head at the answer he received.
"All we need is for that belt to start yelling next time we are trying to be quiet for one reason or another...."
