Well met Xella. I truly desired more drink, but then you and your merry band showed up in such a fabulous fashion. Now I must confess myself interested. I've long desired a chance to wander and experience far more of the world than the little bit I've seen. Though if you seek an arcanist, I have some fair bit of knowledge and would gladly offer an opinion on whatever it is you seek, free of charge of course. I wouldn't assume you would part with it, so perhaps in full attendance of your - retinue - I could take a look? Felicia says, putting on a pretty smile.

Why, that's a mighty fine offer, miss. Balak pulls out the driftglobe. Based on what I know about driftglobes, there should be a command word the activate it, and a command word to get it to drift in the air. Couple problems:
(1) When Silvertongue and I found this thing, there was some eye sigil nearby, and it disappeared when we approached.
(2) I would ask the Lord of Lance Rock over here, but I knocked some good sense out of 'im, and I doubt he will be honest if I ask 'im.
So, I need to figure out if this is different than a normal driftglobe, how it is different if it is, and what the command words are to activate this thing.

Well, if you aren't in a rush, give me an hour or so and I should be able to suss that information out for you. Perhaps while you all enjoy a bit of repast? Surely after besting that craggy old bastard, you'd appreciate a stiff drink and a pleasant meal? she says, eyeing the driftglobe.
OOC:
Throwing an arcana check out there for grins. I figure doing the short rest to investigate the globe for the command words. Without something like Identify, I'm not sure if I'd be able to figure much else out, 'specially not any curses that may be on the thing.Rolls

The town Constable Harburk Tuthmarillar, a human male Tethyrian, shows up, along with two of his trusties. "What's this I hear about a murderer?" He approaches the party gathered around Orieoth. "Harburk Tuthmarillar, Constable. This him?"
Felicia will be able to identify the standard properties of the Driftglobe after the short rest, including the command words.

[ +- ] Driftglobe
This small sphere of thick glass weighs 1 pound. If you are within 60 feet of it, you can speak its command word and cause it to emanate the light or daylight spell. Once used, the daylight effect can't be used again until the next dawn.
You can speak another command word as an action to make the illuminated globe rise into the air and float no more than 5 feet off the ground. The globe hovers in this way until you or another creature grasps it. If you move more than 60 feet from the hovering globe, it follows you until it is within 60 feet of you. It takes the shortest route to do so. If prevented from moving, the globe sinks gently to the ground and becomes inactive, and its light winks out.

Ah! The Authorities! We're so glad you arrived to take this vile mage off our hands. What is the standard reward in Red Larch for apprehending dangerous, magic-wielding criminals?
Once Orieoth has been dragged away, but before everyone heads their separate ways, Dazzle tries to plan their next move. Now, as I'm sure all of you remember, and to fill in Felicia here, there’s a Haunted Tomb southeast of us. It’s either infested by goblins, haunted by ghosts, or overrun by the ghosts of goblins. The townsfolk were quite unhelpfully vague on the specifics.
Once we've all had a chance to rest and recover, I say we get back out there and help these poor, beleaguered villagers from suffering any more than they already are by having to live in this squalid backwater hovel of a town. Also, we'll probably find more treasure. Shall we leave at noon?

"I’m all for helping but let’s not forget why we came here. Sorgrimm addresses Xella over his beer. "If we don’t have any leads than we may as well find out about this haunted place. Do you think we should start asking around about him?"

OOC:
It takes 2 hours and 50gp/level to copy each into your spellbook, so might have to do it one at a time. Cantrips cannot be copied, only ever learned. Higher level spells with have to wait until you can cast them to copy.Apr 6, 2018 3:50 pm
OOC:
So does reading the cantrips allow me to learn then or is that only through level up?Apr 6, 2018 4:07 pm
OOC:
There appears to be no way to learn new cantrips, other than through leveling up.Apr 7, 2018 2:20 am

You May be able to eventually place them on scrolls. Just a thought. I don’t know what it costs to make scrolls. Apr 7, 2018 4:53 pm
Constable Harburk Tuthmarillar shrugs in apology. "We will take this miscreant off your hands, and give him his trial. As he was not Wanted in particular, it will be up to the elders to decide if a reward is warranted, once they hear of his misdeeds."
The town is probably too small to have a market for magic items.

"Very well, very well," Dazzle sighs, waving off the constabulary.
"So." Once again he tries to address his companions. "Haunted Tomb? Tomorrow at dawn, perhaps?"
