Ealdwig waits outside the Clerks Office for Skeeve to come out. He's sure been in there a while. Hope he comes out soon, I could us some food and drink. It's been a long day.

Grin says: I have the money and components for several of the cheaper and quicker options. What do you need from me for all of those easier options?

Arc joins Ealdwig and the rest of the group outside the Clerks Office.
How are doing? Did I miss some food and drinks? I could have a drink or two now!

The two look at each other before Valpip replies.

Well, it wild take at least 5 days for a pair of communication devices. After that a day for each one made. Total cost, 25 gold per device.
The translator would be 5 days as well for a set that allows the two holders to understand each other regardless of language and cost about 50 gold. A single piece that let's you be understood and understand all others wild take much longer, at least a week and cost about 100 gold.

Interesting! Your creativity is boundless, Valpip! Could you please make for me:
- 4 communication devices - for me and my comrades (25gp each)
- 1 universal translator (100gp)
I’m happy to pick these items up from you whenever you’re able to complete them - most likely when we return from deeper in the Underdark. I can give you payment now or later.

"I am truly in your debt, Grin, both for these fabulous half moon spectacles in my pocket, and for the crystal communicators. They will be extremely helpful, combined with some wine vials. Will you ask Fiznik for the close range or long range communicators?"

Daryen, do not forget our clerk's office request ($). It might be buried in the posts. May 3, 2024 12:48 am

Well, I might not have enough resources for the long range communicators and they seem likely to take a bit longer than the others. But let me know what you think.
- 100G for translator + big crystal? Medium crystal?
- 25Gx4 for short range communicators + small crystals?
Actually, if we want long range ones that limit the number of words we can say, that’s alright I think. I just don’t want it all taking too long to craft.
OOC:
I probably have enough for a few long range ones - I don’t know. It might depend on if I need to liquidate crystals to build them. I have 300G in coins and 300G in crystals. - 100G for translator + big crystal? Medium crystal?
- 25Gx4 for short range communicators + small crystals?

The aged wizard and gnomish artificer are already discussing how best to shape the crystals and what to do to them to effect the required enchantments. They wave off your thanks and say you have the crystals for the enchantments but they do have other matters to attend to so will not have time for more than 1 project at a time. Communicators for the party first then the translator. Leave the crystals and pay when you pick them up. You don't pay and we just sell them. No refunds or returns.
Short range Communicators - small or medium. Size will affect range
Translator - medium
The large crystals would be useful for long range communicators or scrying devices but they don't have time for that involved of a project at this time. They will buy them off of you though. :)

OOC:
awesome, thanks!Grin will sell his large crystal, but he does not have enough medium crystals for everything he wants. If the others will contribute a medium crystal, that would be ideal and Grin will pay for the work done when they pick them up. If not, he will contribute what he can, but one or more communicators will need to be made with small crystals instead.

Arc hears Ealdwig outside the Clerks Office. Happy that he didn't missed much, but looking forward to those drinks.
My quick flight, yes. I was curious about those dinos, and their possible reactions to different outcomes. I thing several of them now consider me friendly, so their packs won't be running away nor confronting us, that's good.
But they don't really want much to do with any people, they won't be helping us if battle breaks open against goblins or others.
Other than that, I do think I learned to understand them better, and that's quite satisfying, I feel happy for that. Although that may or may not be useful in the future.

Kaarik greets Arc, while waiting with Ealdwig outside the Clerks office.
It's great, you will now be able to know which of the dinos are friendly or not, it's already more knowledge than any of use have on those creatures.

Great! We now have 5 medium crystals for four communicators and one translator. I will pay you when they are ready - hopefully when we return from our first exploration into the deep underdark.
He hands the five medium crystals over.
Oh! And we need to stock up on potions! Where should we look for those?
OOC:
We could go to the Clerks now and have the conversations with the other group and then do the potions/climbing kit purchases afterward.May 3, 2024 9:04 pm

"Ah, Grin, I left this large crystal untouched precisely for these kind of stuff. Do the communicators need medium crystals instead? If so, I can hand you a medium crystal plus some gold."

OOC:
yeah I was going to keep a big one too but apparently we can’t use them for anything at the moment. You can hold onto yours if you want and pay me back later or accept as a gift from me too :)May 3, 2024 9:38 pm
OOC:
Ishzu could use a large unmodified crystal, but not the rest of you. You need to have psionic or mental powers to make use of it in its natural form. However, it does make a great base for various mental related magic items. But that times a lot of time and money to create. So, the large crystals are valuable. It's just that they are a component, not a finished item on their own. (Unless you are psionic.)And ... it looks like Smiley has had to step away. I keep hoping he'll be able to stick around, but it isn't looking like it, unfortunately.
As an aside, I have been letting you work with Psybermagi on the crystal related magics while hoping Smiley could continue. Once that is all taken care of you'll be heading back down under the ground! You have a mysterious ship to discover! (The ship itself is just an encounter, not the entire thing. The main mystery lies past the ship.)

cool! Can we possibly buy that magic tent from Ishzu? OOC:
I am sure we can probably work something out. He can end up with a couple large crystals as trade for the tent. With the promise he can have it back if he reactivates.May 3, 2024 11:04 pm
