Cost - 5000 GP. As well, may need to find say 1-2 impossible ingredients.
Also, can't guarantee item won't end up cursed.
Buying for Antaeus since he's poor and has no magic items (most others have some stuff, he spent money on research but for party-useful psi powers). A Ring of Fortitude could be useful to other PCs (e.g. raise dead) but would raise dwarf saves.

In reply to Arek (msg # 1):

Ring cost - minimum 100 GP (enchant item).
-material should be determinable from records of existing rings.

22:26, Today: Arek rolled 3,1 using d20,d20.  Random fantastical material - ring.
"The breath of a stone".

-breath of a creature made from stone? [say, Gargoyle]
Living wall, tempest, stone golem (immune magic..no breath?).
[likely not a component - is itself assembled from multiple components, derived]
Stone giant (very durable).
Magic mouth spell - can get a rock to 'speak' words.
Carve ring of stone
Diamond turned to gas ? -

Granite - naturally releases Radon gas as result of uranian/thorium breakdown.
[potentially, could be used in radioactive, silicon-based 'rock' creature metabolisms ? - could be found in gargoyle breath; also, could be absorbed and used to 'power' an alienization of metabolism that makes characters magic-resistant, though also is unhealthy /weird in a way that prevents e.g. character gaining HPs]
think could make that an ingredient - cool enough [difficult ingredient] to give +5% to odds.
-open gateway to world where its air contains 'the breath of a stone' - radiation release ? 3-turn exposure enough.
shouldn't interfere with Enchant Item as is psionic.
**Item needs to store radon...or the energy from radon?
Noble gas but its magic - could crystallize as solid [cold]

compress radon in balloon - gold as shielding.


Wizard also needs to do:
Research process (library could add to % to research magic item?); assume somewhere there's a "Library Planet" in Spelljammer universe. To add to base cost ? - wizard likely amenable as chance to learn more stuff...unless has local commitments.


Some GP cost = 'hazard pay' for 5% chance of permanentcy draining CON ?
[outsource to other wizards]
Could also use just 'Enchant item' and create a charged item.

For alien metabolism, add:
*something related to transforming people into stone (basilisk, gorgon, cockatrice)
*something related to animating stone - 'animate objects' spell
*something related to anti-magic - say a 'dispel magic' spell

Some gold going into learning new spells by wizard, plus travel, etc.
Also M components - jewel [??], engraving of runes.

22:34, Today: Arek rolled 2 using 1d100.  wizard wanting to go to library moon (70%).
-very extreme yes. Spelljamming there (can't planar travel - same plane).

22:36, Today: Arek rolled 30 using 1d100.  Knows major ingredient (s) already -25%.
*some gold being spent getting passage on spelljamming ship.

22:38, Today: Arek rolled 2,4,4,4 using d6,d6,d6,d6.  random space encounters (WS,Phlog,Phlog,WS). - no encounters.
Note can't use planar travel in phlogiston.

22:40, Today: Arek rolled 19 using 1d100.  magical tome (5%).
22:40, Today: Arek rolled 89 using 1d100.  33% location of treasure in wildspace.
22:40, Today: Arek rolled 26 using 1d100.  spell formula (15%).
22:39, Today: Arek rolled 16 using 1d100.  anything interesting in library (25%)?

-none of those, but assume learns a bit more of interest about various Prime Material worlds.


22:43, Today: Arek rolled 28 using 1d100.  wizard - ulterior motive for wanting to go to library (50%). (=because of rolling '02' on eagerness roll).

22:45, Today: Arek rolled 66 using 1d100.  wizard searching for particular world (Arek portal use)(30%).
No, but...
event.

22:46, Today: Arek rolled 89,75,42 using d100,d100,d100.  focus, action, subject.
NPC negative, refuse, a plot...character was wanting to go to library because they want to get off Rock of Bral; attempting to not be involved in a plot back there.

23:12, Today: Arek rolled 93 using 1d100.  likelihood pursuit from the Rock (40%).
Extreme No - killed those who might have pursued. Can't go back without complications.

Roll to find correct ingredients for spell - subsumed into % to create item ?

Radon - stored in magical fashion - making item partly 4d allows it to exist in extradimensional space, and also means characters aren't accidentally radiated.
So ingredients:

Gold ring
Visit to library for ingredients - OK
Radon gas - (can get via portal)
Phase spider webs - may be able to purchase from phase spiders on some Spelljammer world, given that they're sentient.
10:27, Today: Arek rolled 3 using 1d100.  Purchase phase spider webs (70%) at 1000 GP.
-EXTREME YES (normally portable hole ingredient); say buy at 500 GP.
Purchase an additional 1000 GP worth of phase spider web at same price [added to adventuring inventory]
Some sort of petrifying-monster item - forge ring itself from smelted gorgon scales
Spells - animate objects, dispel magic - provided by wizard (or learned / purchased as part of cost).

10:31, Today: Arek rolled 66 using 1d100.  locate world where gorgons common (SJ) - 70%.
Success so know of one - just made it, so is very far away.
10:33, Today: Arek rolled 95 using 1d100.  Purchasing gorgon scales (30%).
[reduced odds given world is far away]
Can try to narrow down specific locations with Y/N questions ?

12:29, Today: Arek rolled 19 using 1d100.  wizard coming? (50% only as now off the Rock).
Reconsidering: Probably should be lower but would pass even at 20%.
-may have yet another ulterior motive to be involved :)
12:28, Today: Arek rolled 4 using 1d7.  1-4 pirates, 5-6 space beastie, 7 onboard problem.
12:27, Today: Arek rolled 1,6,4,5,2,6,2 using d6,d6,d6,d6,d6,d6,d6.  Random encounters. 1, 4, 7 are in wildspace (stopover).

Individual fight with N pirates, also roll Central Casting event for the ship combat.

20:02, Today: Arek rolled 5,16 using d20,d20.  ship overall combat result - PC, NPC.
difference of '11' = 'imprisoned'. Though bad guys likely suffer heavy casualties due to wizard (fireball)
As in wildspace - can use Planar Travel; moving to Kelarn.

Once there: looking for gorgon scales..
20:30, Today: Arek rolled 55 using 1d100.  Gorgon scales for sale? (50%)
20:30, Today: Arek rolled 10 using 1d100.  Know of place which has these (50%) ? - Extreme Yes; treat as meaning a gate goes there.
20:32, Today: Arek rolled 20 using 1d100.  25% classical Greek dimension? - Yes.
[Basic D&D dimension - Wrath of the Immortals' 'dimension of legends' - Gorgons based on flesh-eating cattle in Greek myth. Call it Athenia.
Greek monsters e.g. pegasi, hydrae, medusae, scylla [may have monster description], centaurs, nymphs, cyclops.
Going through gate to there - not waiting a week for planar travel to recharge [could use plane shift if desperate]

21:33, Today: Arek rolled 73 using 1d100.  gorgons - owned by someone important (50%) - would be wild also.
Extreme yes earlier so are available - gate leading to city near forest where roam wild.
[could Dream Travel across land is necessary]
3 random encounter checks - nothing.

[largely - cost is 'hazard pay' for casting permanentcy again..as have absorbed other costs already for travel, spell acquisition, and so on.
Taking about a month to do.
