Re: The Chaos of Orcus(4e Paragon Tier game)
Nera sighed, and picked up the tinderbox. He opened it and, using the flint and the firesteel inside, tried to set the candle aflame by sending a spark flying on it. He was not afraid of any eventual explosion, though waited for Warryn to step out before beginning.

Re: The Chaos of Orcus(4e Paragon Tier game)
Vaeron watched with baited breath, not game to enter the darkness himself. Truth be told, he'd always been a little afraid of the dark.

Re: The Chaos of Orcus(4e Paragon Tier game)
The candle lights and the room is lit. A stark white longsword and a grey longbow are on the wall. Plus 5000 gold strewn about the floor.

Re: The Chaos of Orcus(4e Paragon Tier game)
Nera turned towards his companions, and shrugged before crossing his arms.

"Uh, normally I'd be all for that," Vaeron says a little nervously. "But doesn't this seem a bit too easy? What if there's another trap on the loot?"

Re: The Chaos of Orcus(4e Paragon Tier game)
Nera stared at Vaeron. It was funny, really, how an aloof guy like Nera could express such exasperation with just a gaze. With that, he picked up the candle and turned towards the rest of the room, raising the light high to dispel the darkness.
"I may have confused who the children and the adults are in this cellar," he snarked.
Then, he began checking around the room for traps, mostly focusing on the sword and the bow on the walls.

Re: The Chaos of Orcus(4e Paragon Tier game)
Nera finds a single trap on the items. The most he can glean from them is that they will either cut off your hands when you touch one of the weapons or they will put a watch on your arm.

Re: The Chaos of Orcus(4e Paragon Tier game)
Nera nodded, and kept away from the items, turning to his companions again.
"The sword and the bow will snap your hands off if you touch them, apparently," he said. "I don't suppose anybody bothered to take some tools along with him? Our other solution is a long stick, I suppose."
He managed to say all of this with a perfectly straight face on.Originally Posted by Noble Savant

"See! That's the only problem with treasure. It tends to try to hurt you. Everything else about it is fantastic. The gold is safe, then?"

Warryn straightens up and says, "Let's see how firmly they're mounted..."
Warryn makes a couple of gestures and a spectral hand appears.
SpoilerHe cast Mage Hand.
It floats over to the weapon on the wall and tries to lift it.Dan2

Re: The Chaos of Orcus(4e Paragon Tier game)
"Hah, look at those silly old traps," Vaeron laughs, instantly regaining his confidence.
He walks over to the bow still hanging on the wall and quickly removes it, then jumps back three steps, just in case.

Re: The Chaos of Orcus(4e Paragon Tier game)
This trap didn't even go off at all!
Now that Vaeron is holding onto the bow, he feels the overwhelming desire to never give it to anyone else and to protect it against any harm. He also believes that it is his father's bow and that there's nothing wrong with it. He will only be able to see that it is cursed by removing the curse.Busy with Life

Re: The Chaos of Orcus(4e Paragon Tier game)
"Heyyyyy..." Vaeron says suspiciously, looking more closely at the bow. "What's my father's bow doing here??"
He looks around suspiciously, but of course the children are already back above ground. "Remind me to ask that Dan kid about this later," he says as he slings the bow over his back.
SpoilerIs the bow actually a weapon? Could I use it to shoot things if I wanted? What are its stats?

Re: The Chaos of Orcus(4e Paragon Tier game)
Still holding the sword aloft, Warryn lowers his head and shakes it slowly. "Oh..." Warryn says quietly, " that's not good. Let's see if we can get this sword into a scabbard without someone else discovering an old family heirloom, shall we?"
He walks back out of the room and lays the sword on the ground before using the disembodied hand to help sweep up the rest of the gold.
SpoilerI have a question for you, Mindfreak. Would you allow me to change the size of the ritual Tenser's Floating Disk? What would it take to do so?Dan2

Once the gold has been collected, Warryn carefully wraps the sword and hands it off to Peren. "I think you might find use for this, but be careful."
He then heads back up to the surface where he left the children and leads them to the cart, reassuring them that soon they'll be safe and looked after.Dan2

Neither of them will feel any ill effects by touching it wrapped in cloth. The children are very excited.

Nera thanked his Monk training for giving him very high patience and tolerance, and then prepared to depart, waiting for the rest of the group.

Peren carefully attaches the sword to his belt, then joins the others outside.

Vaeron also heads outside, guarding his bow jealously.
"Ok, pack the kids in the carts and let's get moving."

Re: The Chaos of Orcus(4e Paragon Tier game)
The Stark White Sword doesn't have a sheath. But when it comes into contact with his belt a sheath suddenly forms around it, attaching it to his belt. The sheath seems to be Stark White as well, and as hard as steel yet as flexible as leather.
The children are already in the cart!

Dan mentioned that the town from whence we came had an orphanage. It isn't perfect, but that is where we are headed. (Unless there are any objections)

Re: The Chaos of Orcus(4e Paragon Tier game)
Since there are no objections, you make your way to the town you were previously in! A large party greets you when you come in and the baron walks over.
"You're back! I bet those goblins didn't stand a chance!"
The baron looked in the cart and saw only children.
"Where are the weapons?"Busy with Life

Peren pulls the Baron over to one side. "Listen. You wouldn't happen to know anything about any slaver rings, would you?" He asks in a menacing tone.

"We found these children," the Monk commented, "in a bandit's hold. They were to be sent as slaves."

Nera turned away from the Baron and approached Dan, who was presumably still on the cart.
"Why don't you tell the Baron about the people who took you captive?" He said, his voice still neutral.Originally Posted by Noble Savant

"Well, no one took us captive really, my dad just warned me about the drow slavers that were also wine merchants."
"The Johnroots?"
"Yeah! That's their name!"
Nera will be able to see the female elf that they saw on the Johnroot's farm running away from the crowd towards the Johnroot's farm.Busy with Life
