Hello all, my character has run into a little situation in our campaign and I have until next session to come up with a solution. I am hoping for your help!
A little background information:
Our party is a human artificer (me), a human wizard and a halfling fighter. We are 4th level. We have recently infiltrated a large army of hobgoblins and gray elves who are working together (with many other creatures and goblinoids) in a massive cave system in the mountains to prepare an invasion of a "good" realm. We're posing as supporters of their cause and have been assigned to a (formerly human) lich as our mentor.
Anyway, I recently went to see the lich on my own and he wasn't in his abode so I snooped around a little, "knock"ed open a cabinet of his, found and took a potion and a fancy bone wand with a rare gem imbedded in it. I decided not to be greedy and look for more so I locked the cabinet back up and left with it. I proceed to identify the potion as gaseous form and the wand as magic missile CL9. Needless to say I really want to keep that wand.
The next day the lich summons us. He is understandably quite irked and tells us about how he has been robbed and tasks us with finding who is responsible and retrieving the items immediately.
I cannot make a duplicate wand as I don't have craft wand yet and I won't be able to replicate the gem imbedded into it anyway.
Any ideas of how I can get away with keeping this wand would be greatly appreciated! Could be involving spells or magic items or simple to complex social interactions; I'm up to explore any possibilities. The politics of various figures in this army are complex and I tried to simplify the situation as much as possible, but please ask if anything needs to be clarified!
