March 12, 1372


 

And finally, Gar shows his face on March 12th.

Someone goes out to purchase holy water. It is 40gp per vial.

Gar has created two scrolls of teleport no error.

"Occa, do you wish for me to scribe scrolls? And if so, what do you want?"

"Probably magic missiles and other offensive spells that our lower level friends can use."

Darian nods. "I can do magic missile scrolls. Fireball and lightning bolts as well?"

"No, I don't think fire and lightning work well against devils or daemons."

"Cones of cold? Ice Storms?"

"I think they might affect them some. I would go with magic missile. Easier for the younger mages to understand and you can make more faster."

Darian nods. "Then I will stick with magic missile scrolls."

Salaam will scribe as many heal scrolls as he can.

After Occa has told the others what's in the community chest, Gilstrock says, "Hey, are you mage types gonna take more days writing scrolls and things? If so, Robert and Gonzo and me and some of the other guys who provide the muscle around here should spend some days playing wargames to see if we can decide which of all those swords are better than the others."

"I'm with you!" says Robert, clearly feeling restive. "Afterwards, let's go whoring!"

Darian heads off to the mage's guild to research the scroll ink recipe.

Salaam has a somewhat harder time coming up with a recipe for scroll ink, but after five days of research at the various temples in Sandas he finds one:

Troll blood can be purchased for 10gp per ounce. The temple of Tyr has hair from a deceased saint, but a donation of 1000gp is requested to have one. A deva feather is not to be had in Sandas. Diamonds of 1000gp value or more are available. Dragon scales can be had for 50gp per scale.


next day...
