The Runes of Oblivion [Game Thread]

Veldebrand Identifies:
Owl Brooch - IN + 1
Ring of Chain Lightening (1x / day)
Ring of Protection +1

"Oooh, I like gold! So what exactly do you all know about our quest? Is this painting what we're after?"

Farandor pockets his share of the gold.

I guess it is. Veldebrand had a not scribbled with "Nude-Troll-Black and Red", and that painting seems to have all 3, so... Of course, we can always take the rest of the art as well and try to sell it for more gold...

"You mean that ugly-ass dragon painting? I suppose you magic types thought it might be worth something. The more loot the merrier mine and Grapthor's hangover in a few days I suppose"

Veldebrand affixes the owl brooch to his cloak and makes a confident and thoughtful expression. He holds the rings out to Barekeln "This ring protects you in combat, while this one can produce chain lighting once per day. Deadly spell. Both you and I could someday learn the spell but it is a long way off. Still, it would be better served in my possession or yours rather than, say, him" pointing to Grapthor.

Grapthor stuffs his share of the gold into his pack. "Sure, this'll buy me ale when we git back to town, but I'm bloody thirsty NOW!" he grumbles. "What's that yellow stuff in the bottle?"

He picks up the chain mail, gives Rollo a sidelong glance, and shrugs, "Be a shame to cover those tattoos." He puts the chainmail on, "S' a little tight around the chest."

"I'll take the wee sword too if nobody wants it." Grapthor turns his attention to the painting. "Now how're we supppsed to carry the bloody thing? Remove it from its frame & roll it up?"

"We can roll it around one of my spears and keep it in my quiver. Should keep it reasonably safe."

Looking at the yellow potion.."Well, what good would hiding poison in a locked room guarded by a golem be?" Veldebrand tastes the potion.

Answering Veldebrand

Yeah, agreed, especially considering it'll take me longer to learn it and my role is more of a combat healer than a lightning thrower... Who knows, maybe in the future we'll end up swapping rings... Okay, gees guys, let me sense magic first, will ya!?

(OOC: :P )

"If Grapthor gets the armor, let me have the Ring of Protection please. I can use some more defense in the front line. What is the other stuff?"

Veldebrand feels a lot stronger.

This potion gives ST +6 for d20 minutes.

Grapthor fishes a pair of dice from his pocket. "Tell you what, Rollo, I know we can both use the armor. Whaddya say we dice for it? Higher roll wins the armor."

Grinning, Grapthor rolls the dice. "10. Your turn.", he says, handing Rollo the dice.

"Oh, gentleman, can we not simply come to an agreement?" Veldebrand looks disdainfully at the dicing match while quietly donning the ring of chain lightning when Barekeln is distracted.

"Well fellows, if that's all, I'd like to get some fresh air and a pint at the nearest tavern." Farandor winks at Grapthor. He finishes rolling up the painting, taking care not to damage it, then stows it carefully with his spears on his back.

Since nobody is letting him sensing magic on the items Velebrand failed to identify (OOC: Guess I made all those rolls for nothing...), Barekeln ismply goest to gather the remaining art, waiting for help with teh 1meter statue (OOC: which I assume will weight a lot).

Veldebrand hands the strength potion to Rollo. "Here you go, mate. This will make those big muscles even bigger, for a while".

Rollo takes his share of gold and the sword.

"Ok Grapthor lets see what your dice say."

"Too bad, but I'll take the next one!"

Grapthor puts the dice back in his pocket. Grinning, he slaps the big Northman on the shoulder. "Yeah you'll get the next one. For now I've got yer back. And I'll buy ye a drink for bein' a bloody sport!"
