Re: DeepBlue's Vagabond - Act 1
The ring holds a faint aura of arcane power - that, Flare is sure - but what it does is not quite known at this time.
SpoilerYou can make a Spellcraft check to determine the school of magic associated with its power, though
The group returns to the theatre, stopping just outside as Thomas exits. He spots you immediately, and approaches. "I see you've taken care of that pest...is there anything else I can help you with?"

Harold smiles primly. "not unless you know where the owner is. Although I'll admit a passing curiosity to see things behind the scenes here...you might want to send someone around to look for traps first."If there's nothing out there, then what was that noise?

Re: DeepBlue's Vagabond - Act 1
Thomas blinks. "But, I've already told you. Mr. Gortana isn't coming by until tomorrow - and until then, he'll be rather busy. But as for any findings..." he looks to back to the theatre. "...I had none. Though, I admit, the auditorium is very dark, and I couldn't search well without any oil for our lanterns. I was just about to go get some, actually..." He silently ponders for a moment. "If you're interested in taking anything he left around, feel free to claim it. Really, you'd be doing me a favor to help clean up after that scoundrel."

Flare gazes curiously at the ring before slowly looking up and peering at Thomas with a few nods. "Alright. Tomorrow then. And yeah, I think it might be worth our while to look through the place again. I'm sure that will be worth a little extra, to disarm the traps he's left? You'd better take charge here Ritan."

Re: DeepBlue's Vagabond - Act 1
SpoilerNice roll. The ring gives off an aura of Transmutation.
Thomas nods. "We would surely be in your debt if you found and disarmed any traps, as well." he pauses. "You managed to hunt down that halfling, earlier - do you have more torches...or whatever you used?"
SpoilerWe'll just do this through search checks. One each should be sufficient (for those who'd like to actively search. Be advised, taking 20 may take quite some time, as the theatre is fairly large...Last edited by Deepblue706; 2007-09-18 at 04:40 PM.

Re: DeepBlue's Vagabond - Act 1
While most of the group gives very little effort into the search, Flare manages to find a few things of interest:
Beneath the stage is a small, dirty cot. Beside it is a sack (filled with rations), and a harmonica.
Aside from the traps you've already come across, there appear to be none.
Finally, Flare locates the blade that was thrown at Len earlier, still embedded into the stage front. A close look reveals great detail etched into the weapon. It would have taken a skilled smith to craft it.
...
Suddenly, both Harold and Flare hear a muffled cry.Last edited by Deepblue706; 2007-09-22 at 02:27 PM.

Harold Betruger
Harold glances up quickly from the pile of props he'd been investigating. He looks at the strange hatted magician standing nearby.
"Did you hear...?" he asks, trying to pinpoint the source of the cry...If there's nothing out there, then what was that noise?

Re: DeepBlue's Vagabond - Act 1
Harold considers the voice may be coming from the sub-level of the stage, but determines it's much closer than that. In the very wall of the stage front, perhaps?

Re: DeepBlue's Vagabond - Act 1
Flare moves forward slowly, stopping when he reaches his best guess as to the source of the cry and examining the area. "Does someone need help?" He asks again.
SpoilerSearch - (1d20+2)[12] I'll spend 2 minutes to take 20 in that square only if my first result yields nothing.

Re: DeepBlue's Vagabond - Act 1
Harold finds the wall is fairly thick - there are no hollow spots that he is aware of.
Flare calls out again, and still there is silence.
Suddenly, a voice speaks in a slightly mocking tone. "Oh, hey, what's that shiny, starry thing in the wall? It looks neat. Let's take it."Last edited by Deepblue706; 2007-09-24 at 12:44 PM.

Re: DeepBlue's Vagabond - Act 1
"...the blady star thingy. In the wall. It's about a foot in front of you, you goof."
Len looks around a bit confused. "Who's talking? Is that you, Ritan?" she asks, which is answered by a solemn "No."

Re: DeepBlue's Vagabond - Act 1
Fargrim, Ritan, and Len are in agreement - there's nothing else to do here. You return to Thomas, who once more thanks you for your efforts. "Again, The Silver Arch is in your debt. I am sure Mr. Gortana will be looking forward to meeting with you." With that, he brings you back to the entrance. "I'm going to be locking up now, if you don't mind..."

Re: DeepBlue's Vagabond - Act 1
Harold Betruger
Harold remains oddly silent as the group exits the theater. Scratching the nape of his neck, he watches as Flare performs his ritual. With a sigh, gives a half-hearted smile. "Well, we're at least 500 gold pieces further from a brutal death. Frankly, it's more than I expected to get right away from this kind of venture. We can check back tomorrow and make sure the Silver Star hasn't forgotten our help."If there's nothing out there, then what was that noise?

Re: DeepBlue's Vagabond - Act 1
SpoilerSorry for being vague, ERS, but it's actually not a dagger. If you look closely at an earlier description, it's a bladed star. A Shuriken.
Flare detects a fairly strong aura of magic radiating from the weapon.
SpoilerAgain, you can make a spellcraft check to try to determine the school(s) of magic involved, if you like

Harold looks oddly at the weapon. "Odd that it's star-shaped. I suppose you could throw it, but isn't it an odd coincidence that the theater's name is the Silver Star?"If there's nothing out there, then what was that noise?

Harold Betruger
Harold makes a non-committal noise. "Or it's what drove the halfling mad in the first place. In any case, we ought to consider our next move. Me, I'm thinking lunch." He smiles. "To celebrating earning more money than I've ever seen together in my entire life in the space of a single morning!"If there's nothing out there, then what was that noise?

Re: DeepBlue's Vagabond - Act 1
SpoilerSilver Star? Huh? It's Silver Arch, bucko. Also, the Shuriken comes up as having energies of Transmutation within it, and...something else you cannot seem to determine.

Flare
"Well, if it's dangerous than I definitely want to know what it is. There's definitely something unusual about it. I can't quite decipher what that is though. I'll just hang on to it for now, until we decide what we want to do." He puts the strange star in his pocket. "I'm glad you're happy about our accomplishment. But then again, if we're just going to give it to criminals, it's not really anything that we earned." He walks along, lost in thought. "Maybe I'll keep my share for myself. Anyway, I'm going to have lunch in my room and then turn in early. I really took a beating back there."
