Chapter Three - Return to the Mournland

"Any idea on how we can turn it to dust? And will that be enough for Mother Jahanah's spell? Also, and I'm sure this is only a minor inconvenience, but I can't pay you until the bank opens." Vice says, keeping his hands at his sides to stop from reaching for the ring

Meepo looks out at the ring and tries to evaluate if it is worth approximately what the shop keep is asking for. "Eh don't worry I brought some money with me." He starts counting out the coins he brought with him.

The gnome looks back and forth between the two, "You two make quite the pair.", he laughs, "Diamonds are hard, but not invincible, any brute with a warhammer can turn them to dust. Just be careful not to lose too much."

He sizes up the diamond, "It’s not big enough to raise the dead, but should be enough for most spells."

Meepo can tell that the shopkeeper is not wrong. They might have a little left to spare, but if they’re going to break it themselves, they will need to be cautious.

Meepo hands over the 250 gold pieces. "Well that seems like a fair trade! And thank you so much for helping us out we are so very grateful!" Meepo glances about the shop as he pays the gnome. "I gotta come back here again. This place looks to have some very interesting things. And maybe later we can talk about if there are any plants you are looking for on the other side of the mist."

Meepo looks to Vice "I'm sure one of the big guys can do that!"

"Thank you! You've surely earned a drink next time we see you in the tavern!" Vice turns to Meepo and says "I'm sure Torhak can quickly turn that thing to dust. Let's go find him."

Meepo nods to Vice. "Indeed! We better not keep them waiting. Every moment counts!"

He looks to the shop keep. "Thank you again for everything! We'll be seeing you again!" before heading back to the group

"Indeed! I'm always on the look out for something unique to play with!", he bids them farewell and locks the door as soon as they are outside.

Meepo and Vice then scurry back through town toward the Temple of the Silver Flame.

Mother Jahanah

In the temple, Mother Jahanah and Dubdub do what they can to keep Virtue comfortable. The little goblin's eye open wide, nearly bugging out. The recently bright red glow, has completely dulled. Her raspy breath show sign of difficulty drawing air. She coughs out thick, black ichor all over herself, further staining her yellow tunic. Her quiet moans of pain intermittently give way to incoherent, guttural screaming. The cleric looks to 37 and Dubdub, "This is happening faster than last time..."

Meepo shows the diamond ring. "We got a diamond but it's not pulverized yet." He looks to the group. "Anyone want to try and smash this thing with a hammer?" and he lays it down on the floor and then takes out his broom to sweep up the dirt around the ring so that the dirt doesn't mix with the diamond dust too much.

He looks to Virtue and say in undercommon "don't worry you'll be feeling better in no time"

OOC:

Your goal is to break the diamond without losing too much dust in the process. To do that, Torhak give me five attack rolls against the diamond. Use whatever buffs you wish. AC is 21. HP is 15.

If the diamond is broken in three attacks or under, the group will have more than enough diamond dust.
If the diamond is broken in the fourth or fifth attacks, you'll have just enough.
If it is not broken within the five attacks, the extra attacks it would take mean too much of the diamond was lost.

Vice will activate Mage hand, hoping to stop any diamond dust from escaping in case the Minotaur gets carried away. "Good luck!"

Laulalith - Agent of house Phiarlan

37 watches the party set up to destroy the ring for its prized dust and wracks his brain to see if there's any way he can assist, as Virtue screams incoherrantly at the world.

"Wait... last time?"

And then their mighty friend swung his hammer!

OOC:

Shatter is available if we want it.

Laulalith finds a quiet alley where she changes her disguise to appear as a drunken rail worker. Then she follows Vice and Meepo back to the temple while she keeps an eye on Ikar's spies.
