As Minsc peeks into the chamber he's delighted to see a few familiar faces. "Ho friends! It has been some time. Have any of you seen miniature, giant, space-hamster Boo? He scuttled away when we were assulted by wolves in that strange fog."
Skie gets a ring of fire resistance. Tiax gets the ring of spell turning and a +2 staff. Valygar get a +3 ring and the useful robe that he wanted. Ajantis gets a ring of water walking and the scroll against undead. Irina gets a cloak +2.
"Aerie, take this potion of sweet water, and as I said you can have some scrolls too."
For himself he takes the +2 mace and the scrolls. He also took the chain mail.
Mazzy gets the +3 shield. Sarevok the periapt of proof against poison (he got a +1 plate from me earlier). Montaron gets cloak of elvenkind.
Occ As I said before, I'm not sure of much of Cernd's gear, so I'll make a stab in the dark.
Garrick starts to remove the gear from those that fell and distribute them. "Minsc, was it? I see you use an axe. Here is another to keep it company. And if you miss your pet, this will summon another". (Minsc gets the +3 axe and the onyx dog figurine.)
Edit: Had a doublepost and edited them in the wrong order. Just read this text before the one above.
Too funny, in time, after another one or two rounds of wraiths there will be a well equipped party. but only because of the adventurers and not their enemy. Strahd could just sweep down, kill them all and sell it for a killing on the market.
"Montaron, if you could check the east door for traps, we will be heading out soon."
Mazzy pulls on her gloves and calls the others forward.
"We have rested long enough, it is time for battle. Have no fear, for Arvoreen is with us. Though some may fall they shall be with him in the afterlife. Valygar, if you would hand me my sword, Minsc and I shall take point leading through this door. The others shall follow after, with the Clerics toward the back and protected well."
Mazzy gives Garrick a light smile.
"Good bard, as we have no hope of stealth at any rate, do you have a tune that might inspire and help put those that are nervous at ease?"
If everyone is rested, healed, and re-leveled, sure, let's go. Aerie has no particular preference about which way we go, so long as we're not running straight into a battle with Strahd. Of course, we have no idea where Strahd is, so it would be more accidentally stumbling across him rather than heading directly for him.
Her revised spell list shall be as follows: Divine: Level 1-- Sanctuary, Cure light wounds x 4 Level 2-- Slow Poison x 4, Aid Level 3-- Cure Medium Wounds x 2, Holy Smite x 2 Level 4-- Lesser Restoration x 2
Arcane: Level 1-- Identify, Magic Missile x 3 Level 2-- Melf's Acid Arrow x 3 Level 3-- Flame Arrow x 3 Level 4-- Improved Invisibility, Stoneskin
Hmm, all of us re-leveled? Does that mean that we used up all of Mazzy's scrolls? We should keep one of those for emergencies. I think Garrick and Skie could wait a bit. The scrolls should also be draining to cast but I think that others than the clerics can use them.
Garrick will take these spells at level 5: 2*Identify, Infravision, Strength.
Do/did we return to the chapel to rest? Regardless, Garrick will insist on his turn with the ring of regeneration. Getting him to 30 hp shouldn't take very long.
"Of course, Mazzy. I will regale a tale of an erne as it hunts down a duckling. As you will notice, it's a thin allegory for an experienced man that courts a young woman. I'm sure that Cernd would have appriciated the theme."
"Many thanks to you. I will put these too good use. When evil approaches you can count on me to land a swift kick in your defense my friend!"
OOC the +3 axe is single handed correct? LadyRhian should I be favoring one handed or two handed item's In Baldurs gate I allways dumped my points into two. Also, how does the ring of invisibility function?
You use it to poke out the eyes of the enemies. (Sorry, couldn't help myself). I think it has a command word. Just tell LadyRhian when you want to use it. I do not think it's improved invisibility, so you go visible if you attack.
In truth, I think that most are as confused as I am. Have we rested? Did we get attacked? What levels and hitpoints are we at? Did we return to the chapel or are we still in the room with the hilt on the throne?
Ooc: Mazzy was planning to rest where we were (Hence Monty setting traps) until we were all healed and at the proper levels. Then we would head out through the unopened east door.
Garrick will try to identify the hilt, first by trying his lore, though only if our rouges have checked the throne for traps and I have had time to memorize my spells.
Sarevok follows the group with a blank emotionless look on his face... He holds the periapt of proof against poison in his hands and begins to place it in his satchel. Sarevok attaches the +1 plate armor to his chest and tightens the straps extra tight. Sarevok's actions seem slow and unwilling as if he is walking in a dream. "I will go first if needed, I care not about my own fate.."
Sarevok knows the party must think of him as some sort of lunatic...
Minsc checks his platemail +3 to make sure it's tightly fastened and readies his battleaxe. "It seems there is evil about these halls. What have I stumbled into this time?"
Sorry... work ate my brain, along with caring for my Dad, who is still sick. :P The room you are in is 70' long by 40' wide. Two sets of stairs lead down to the north. Both sets lead down 20' to a landing. Nothing disturbs you this time as you sleep, though you rest lightly regardless. Garrick gets a sense of leashed power coming from the hilt, but what kind, he cannot tell. Finally rested and healed (and yes, Skie's hair grows back, though a little shorter than she had it before), you can choose where to go.
Garrick dons his new chain mail +2 and gives the +2 mace a few practice swings. He then pushes the hilt into his bag, avoiding to touch it directly in case it is cursed.
Garrick holds up the scale mail that he used before. "Do you want this as a backup, Monty? It's not very stealthy, but it should provide you with better protection."
Sarevok grips his shield and his sword and lowers his head slightly and walks forward.. he stops and turns his head and looks back at Skie and gives her a wicked grin. "Our fates are sealed little sister, my death will only serve to hasten your own demise".
Okay. You open the door. Some of you, like Ajantis, recognize this as the office of Lief Lipseige, He's come out from under his desk and gone back to work. He looks up as you open the door. "Not again!" he says, almost whimpering.

Tiax is in need of some breakfast, Fetch him some as it is important to the success of this mission!
