Aoife scurries up the ladder.

"Time to get paid!" she giggles excitedly, like a little kid about to do something fun.

Ardenas hangs back to allow Mancini, Oly, and Hilerno to climb before him.

Oly is glad to get back up, he hopes this pays well, but he's not sure he got much of value (Broken statue), especially since Aoife ran off with those drawings.

In reply to Oly (msg # 760):

As the kobolds get back to work, DiuClaire pays the agreed upon wages (2 days at $120 each per 250 pt character).


The small statue and the sketches are most likely to be valuable to someone interested in trollish artifacts...

We will insure they are taken to the scholar on Troll things and the payment distributed amongst the group.

In reply to Oly (msg # 762):

Aoife is happy with that, though she would make a copy of them as well.

Mancini asks Aoife to make a copy of the troll sketches before being sold. The troll workroom intrigues him and wonders if there are still secrets left down there.

"Duclair, you might need to put some locks and wards on a fee doors down there to protect the investment."

"I agree -- that floor grate could use some reinforcement, not to mention the gate.  You've got some effective guards down there, now, but they can't cover everything that might come up from further down."

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 765):

Aoife take her pay ($240 for 2 days, right?) and heads off to find some scribes gear to make copies.

[Private to GM: What would she need to roll to make copies? Scribes kit, $50, 2 lbs /8 for tiny, right? and 20 sheets of paper for $20, 1 lb (assume normal size, correct?)]

Ardenas pockets his pay with a smile, waves to Aoife as she heads off, then realizes he doesn't owe anyone anything.

"I'd really love a nice steak dinner.  Too bad about my vow.  Oly, you interested in a side trip to Little Sahud to try to find someplace that serves good food without meat in it?"

Wid oud Mead? Why?

"Okay, mead sounds good.  As long as I can get something to eat without meat, fowl, or fish in it.  A nice bowl of mushrooms, maybe."

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 769):

"Wow, a real fun gi..." Aoife comments as she leaves.

In reply to Aoife (msg # 770):

Aoife heads out to get a scribes kit (Done) and The others depart for little Sahud. Unfortunately, one of the better noodle houses is currently full of foul smoke and appears to have been the site of a major brawl...

Oly sticks with Aoife, so they can find the Sage interested in Trollish things... when she is done copying the drawings.

In reply to Oly (msg # 772):

What would Aoife need to roll to copy the drawings?

Ardenas passes by the torn up noodle house.  "Better let them get things cleaned up."

He asks locally after a place that offers meatless fare -- surely there's at least one; the tradition that Master Albreth followed was originally Sahudese.

Mancini asks DuClair if he is needed for anything else; if not, he wishes to head to the guild to see if there is any matters there he needs to assist in.

In reply to Aoife (msg # 773):

Aoufe needs the best of forgery, artist, or iq-6 for each page, there are 6 pages.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 776):

Aoife is careful not to let the originals get near the copies she is making.

[Private to GM: She will have to roll against IQ-6, or 10. Are repeats allowed, and can she take extra time? If so, what bonus can it provide?
Rolls against IQ-6, no bonus for extra time included...
P1 - 3 over, 2 over, 2 over, Critical failure??
P2 - 3 under
P3 - 4 under
P4 - 5 over, 1 over, 1 under
P5 - 3 under
P6 - Rolled exactly target

Second Copy

P1 - Rolled exactly target
P2 - 4 under
P3 - Rolled exactly target
P4 - 2 over, 3 over, 2 over, 1 over, 1 under
P5 - 3 under
P6 - Rolled exactly target

Exactly 20 sheets used!

Anyone attempting to replicate the traps shown will have a penalty equal to theamount you misrolled by; you got the trollish math wrong. The crit failure has a grevious error in copying the design, anyone attempting to build it will automatically fail, with double the chance for a critical failure.

All three are saleable, at best rates to a collector of trollish artifacts or to an artificer whocan read troll. An artificer who does not would pay half.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 778):

Aoife will offer all three for sale to various bidders, with her teammates getting first option. Only money from the first one sold is shared with the group, as she made copies after the adventure!

First ones ... there were three pages IIRC. But yes, your copies are certainly yours to use or sell.

"I have no particular interest in Trollish artisanship; I'm happy to let the plans go to someone who does.  As far as I'm concerned, this was a job for hire, we've finished it and been paid, and for a bonus, we avoided some killings and made some new friends."

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 781):

The sage pays top dollar for whichever set you offer- $50 per item.

You can get less from Mythos Songau, the traps maker, who is unavble to read trollish. He offers $20 per page (the usual 40%)

Roll streetwise, area knowledge Northport, or current events to find a buyer for the third set.
