If you sell it. Likely the wizard will take a finders fee if you need him to set up the sale, or charge for services to move if you get your own buyer but can't move it without breaking it. It is like a chandelier. Large, awkward, fragile.

Ishzu steps away from the group and party for a little bit...

Oliver watched the wizard leave and scratched his head.
"Well, I'm going to be honest. As much as I love the large crystal, I have no idea what to do with it besides selling it. That is... unless it is somewhat sentient? If it is alive in some form, I wouldn't dare put a price on it."
"I'll wait for Ishzu's perspective on this. It seems like he needs a moment for now, though."

Our knightly fellow crosses gauntleted arms along dragonsbane-armored chest.
I have to agree, Oliver. If the Crystal is sentient, then selling it into service isn’t too far removed from slavery.
Yes, let’s glean Ishzu’s thought and feeling on the matter. He seems quite invested.

Well, no time like the present! Grin spreads a blanket and sits down, pulling out a chunk of cheese and enjoying himself. He turns to Ander: ooo ‘awn suh? He holds out the chunk of cheese to Ander. There’s a big bite taken out of it.

I want to take the party back to base to gather s newcomer and show Ishzu around?I will set up the bar thread in a bit.

Ander gazes emerald eyes warily upon chomp-ridden cheese block. He stays knightly disdain, exudes a look that screams ‘thanks but no thanks,’ and in valorous silence, politely declines.

Ishzu returns to the party with news. "My contact does not wish to buy the crystal. They are willing to trade information for a few larger pieces, like the ones we gave Fiznik."
Feb 18, 2024 12:11 am
Ander greets his crystalline friend kindly upon heroic return! Well, that’s something at least. What kind of useful information do you think they have to offer?
Would you…would you like me to talk to them, Ishzu? As a knight, I can be very persuasive. At least, it seems folks give me credence and latitude due to my station. Unless and as maybe they’re only humoring me, of course.

Ander has the Charismatic trait, advantage on persuasive tests. If it’s a matter of mechanics of course. No worries either way, just thought I would offer it up, if it might help.Last edited Feb 18, 2024 12:12 am

"There information would be useful and reliable. There is no easy way for you to contract them. To see them in person would be a journey."
Feb 18, 2024 12:34 am
I understand. Very well, I trust your discretion and discernment Ishzu. I’m sure whatever they can tell us will be helpful. We should otherwise, of course, look for what other deals or uses we can glean, for the remaining pieces.

When you hear Fiznik is heading back to the base the group decides to accompany him for a mid day meal and investigate their options with the crystals.

Return to the dark
After finishing a good meal and some shopping, relaxing, and gosip, you decide to head back underground and stay overnight at the research camp. Fiznik reminds you to make use of the Magical map case that Ander has for marking notes on points of interest as it maps out your travels. He also gives you a pass to claim some of the gear there and allows you the use of his tent for the night.
Taking the long trek back to the camp you find that only 2 guards remain at night and they are glad for the company. You rummage through the supplies but desice to finalize you choices in the morning. You settle down for the night with Ishzu finding a quiet spot out of the way to meditate while overseeing the camp.
Rope, Grapple hook, lanterns, oil, Rations, waterskin, chalk,
These are limited to 1 per person and must be returned when not working to explore the underdark.
While wearing this amulet the wearer can whistle, pop their lips, shout, or emit noise in some other fashion and be able to tell the approximate size and shape of an area they are facing. This can be done once a minute.
Then in the middle of the night, as marked by the watchmen's hour glass, you are all awoken by Ishzu's telepathic shout.
Everyone but Ishzu is in the tent and needs to roll a Save test to see if you wake quickly or stumble out of bed is a stupor, lose 1 round.

[ +- ] Gear for use in the Underdark you look over at the camp
Rope, Grapple hook, lanterns, oil, Rations, waterskin, chalk,
These are limited to 1 per person and must be returned when not working to explore the underdark.
[ +- ] Infinite Spider Silk
Create character
This spool of spiders silk can be unraveled in a never ending thread. The thread can easily be burning it but is resistant to being split by physical means. The tiny thread is hard to notice and handle without the use of the spool. Any thread ignited is consumed as the embers work their way up at a rate of 5 feet a second but are extinguished if they reach the spool[ +- ] Amulet of Echos
Create character
While wearing this amulet the wearer can whistle, pop their lips, shout, or emit noise in some other fashion and be able to tell the approximate size and shape of an area they are facing. This can be done once a minute.
[ +- ] Telescopic Pole of Immobility
Create character
This 5' staff can split the top and bottom foot of the pole to form side bars to stand and grip while working with it. Upon command the staff becomes immobile save that the pole can extend to double its length and contract again (3-8'). This allows the user to climb up, down, or along it like a lander or handlebars. The pole can be used for 6 minutes each hour allowing vertical or horizontal movement through thin air at half the normal rate. Then in the middle of the night, as marked by the watchmen's hour glass, you are all awoken by Ishzu's telepathic shout.
Everyone but Ishzu is in the tent and needs to roll a Save test to see if you wake quickly or stumble out of bed is a stupor, lose 1 round.
