May I just say that this is one of the best arangement of words I have read all year.

Lol.  I am glad you were entertained. :D

True.

Edited/updated my last post for the sake of progression

The gold alone weighs 540 pounds.
The coins altogether weigh over 3300 pounds.

What I saw, and correct me if I'm wrong, is that 50 coins weigh 1 pound (gold) and although silver and copper are less dense, the game mechanics ignored this in D&D.

Let's wrap this room up and decide where to go.

Here is the breakdown of equipment so far.  I will edit as others choose:

Ano
3 metallic rods with the words Jakartis, Malfandar, and Dragonhaste emblazoned on them (1 word per rod) - magical (Abj)
Mask covered in what looks like fish scales (Trans)

Ryaland
Banjo - magical (Ench)

Toben
Tome (on desk) - dark leather cover, red page edges - very powerful magic (Trans)
Crystal Key (on desk) - emerald with gold filigree - not magical

Xar
Two ceremonial Nauglath daggers.

Unclaimed
Three crowns: 1 is a magic circlet (Trans), the other two are non-magical
Small shield with a blue dragon on it - magical (Abj)
Black kite shield not made of metal.  Looks like some kind of scale.  Not magical.
Scepter with a golden emblem of a tree - magical (Evoc)
Gloves - magical (Trans)

What does Xarini want? The group knows Klale can take some gold. It would be nice if it could be carried on the equivalent of a stretcher. The group needs to be ready to act unencumbered. If nobody makes claims, Klale will b e interested in the blue dragon shield, the crown, the scepter, and the gloves. He'll also asses whether the kite shield is better than his. I'll discuss why IC.

Xarini does not see anything other than maybe the gloves that interest her.  Not without it being identified.

If no one is claiming the non-magic kite shield, I'd like to monkey with it.

Alright, some statistics to help everyone with the visuals here.

The cavern is yuge!  Can hold several football fields.  The tunnel the group entered from is too small for the dragon to enter and not get stuck.  It is in the southern wall.  The opening to the outside is roughly 160' wide and ~115' tall.  ~325' across from that is the dais with the chains that held the prisoner (Kairo).

The dragon is roughly 49' long.  It is about that far from the wide opening to the outside.  It is ~245' from you and you are ~290' from the tunnel.

Please feel free to ask any other questions before acting.

Go Klale!!

Lay it out for that dragon, maybe we can even befriend it?!

What color is the dragon? I had an impression it is blue. How much detail does the group, or anybody want Klale to go into? I'm prepared to more-or-less summarize.

As best as the description gives, it appears to be a blue dragon, but as far as character knowledge... that may not really provide much just yet.

I would say go into as much detail as you feel comfortable with, but IMHO, I would probably summarize a bit.

Klale said draft so I'll give y'all time to OOC help him revise or IC offer additions.  There are parts missing, but it is up to you to judge if they are important or not.

You have 24 hours.

In a nutshell, we rescued Ceven, Kornari, and Nessie. We stopped the valaraukar assault on Therion's castle (of which some of their ranks have been infiltrated), and we are currently trying to free Gwaelind. We know very little of what transpired with Ourn and Phineas, but we've traveled far and wide to unravel the mystery in front of us. All of which was brought on by the 'falling of the stars'.

Seeing how we don't know which side this dragon leans, it's hard to say how much info we offer. As well as which side we are fighting for. If the dragon already knows which of the stars have been corrupted, it won't matter how much we say as it will be inferred by our actions, but outright mentioned that we defeated Dúath'gûr and Basarshakath might be unwise for the moment.

If I seem to diaper for a bit it is mostly because my rpol notifier app isn't working so I don't see when people post immediately any more.  I'll be trying to make sure I check more frequently.

In reply to Ano (msg # 120):

I'm having the same issue with the app. Ever since the Android 7.0 update

Sounds like they are currently working on it.

Just curious here... as characters, what do we currently know (if anything) about the Withered Heath?

I suppose that would be a knowledge check except for Roland who can use his bard skills.

Ryland puffs up his chest. "I beg your pardon oh invisible voice from the sky, but I believe you've forgotten my name, which is actually quite a silly thing to do considering I'm the greatest bard to ever grace the shores and rolling plains of Middle Earth".

Ya I heard of him.  Roland the bard.  Best musician I ever heard.

Sorry bout that.  I blame old age.

Just for clarity... who is with Toben at the tower and who is with Kairo hanging back?

What I can assume so far...

w/Toben:
Ryland

w/Kairo:
Ano

Can we fill in the rest of the blanks?
