Storm Giant's Sword

[gryffydd65]

Frog one hits Rae for 4 points. Frog two misses. Frog four hits Aubree for 5 points.

Heather

Refocusing herself she tried to again hurt the frog that was trying to eat her, or at least hurt it so that it would go away - still it was somewhat interesting that they were being so aggressive.

It probably wasn't the brightest of ideas to fire an arrow into combat, but there wasn't much time to swap weapons--so Val knocked another arrow onto the bow and let it fly towards another frog.

The battle is fast and brutal but the new found heroes find that they have slain all the frogs. The only thing left is the loot. Everyone realizes that the gold disks were the eyes of the frogs waiting in ambush.

"Think the eyes have uses in alchemy?" Melody snarks.

Either missing or ignoring the sarcasm, "it is possible, let me examine them".

With that she carefully reviewed the toad corpses for anything valuable or noteworthy.

Knowledge Nature: [roll0]

You know that the legs are good source of protein and at this size will last a long while if cooked.

[Lentrax]

Let's just grab the stuff in the pool and go then, yes?

Rae goes into the pond and starts swimming toward the items at the bottom.

[gryffydd65]

The items are easily recovered. Dagger, long sword and spear.

[dancrilis]

Heather

Standing from her task, "well the frogs are edible - so we can bring them with us for bait or food as needed" she stated "in order to be sure if they items I would need time to examine them - and a ritual involving expensive components - but I can give them a once over now I suppose".

Taking them she began to examine them carefully for signs of where they might have come from and powers they might possess.

Melody will keep an eye out for any hostiles.

[gryffydd65]

The jeweled dagger has two rubies on one side and one on the other with an open cavity that looks charred where the last ruby would be. The blade is balanced and light.
The spear is made of ebony wood and ash with a Damascus style blade. The long sword has a hilt wrapped in black shiny wrappings, the blade is etched in draconic runes. Only those who speak draconic can read it.

[dancrilis]

Heather

"The dagger has a few rubies and a third area that seems burned out - I would be careful with it if anyone tries to use it before proper identification. The spear is ebony wood, ash I believe" considering for a second "bare with me on the sword".

It wasn't the rarest language she knew but still draconic came up fairly rarely in general but often enough in certain texts as she reviewed and read the swords description to herself.

The breath of Tiamat.

Heather

"Fascinating" she muttered "it seems that this sword is devoted to the goddess Tiamet and is called 'The breath of Tiamat' but I have never heard of it so I have no knowledge of why it would be sitting at the bottom of a pool under our town - should to rotating damage to foes when used" she offered it off to the first one who wanted it "might be cursed or the like - Tiamet is the deity of the chromatic dragons rather then their metallic kin and they are regarded as less moral in general".

[Lentrax]

Rae picked up the dagger, tucking it up a sleeve where it stuck out against her still wet clothes. But she waved her hand over her clothes and the water fell out. She then pushed the dagger up her sleeve again, and it vanished.

Well. Shall we move on?

[Illven]

I am ready when everyone else is~ Melody beams warmly.

[dancrilis]

Heather

"What?" she was caught in her own thoughts "oh leaving - sure that sounds good".

[gryffydd65]

The water is cool and refreshing. You all appear on the other side of the pond , the light is bright and the air is warm.

Spoiler: questions

ok how many active players do we have? If less than original 6, might bump up your levels. Also who is carrying what new weapons? Does anybody notice anything?

[MrE]

Aubree takes the offered sword if no one else wants it: it is not as fine as some of the swords he has seen, but it will certainly serve him better than the staff he carries.

[Alchemyst]

"Was wondering when we'd get moving again." It was mostly out of boredom, but Val had both a distinct lack of interest in trying to suss out how magick worked. Plus he chalked his fired arrows as a loss--they were easily replacable and not worth the hassle of plucking them out of some small amphibians.

Spoiler

I've no personal qualms against Aubree having the sword--but just seems weird for a Hexblade to have a physical weapon. Probably for the best, at least until the Hexblade class can actually come online.

[dancrilis]

Heather

"Sure I think we are done here and if we encounter anything else over the next few minutes I won't have to do the ritual again", pointing onwards "that way?".

[gryffydd65]

The group waded through the waist high warm water. The opening was bright and the sun shone directly into it causing the heroes to close their eyes briefly until the hot humid air told them they were out of the cave. Sounds of birds chirping could be heard high above them.

[Illven]

How far do you think we are from home? Melody muses out loud.
