Re: 9:45am Iceday, 8th week 852s
Not wasting much time, ZEIG and DAI rummage through the old animal nest. They find plenty of hair and old droppings. It is clear that much of the paper material making the nest are parchments or scrolls. Judging by the volume, many of them were probably blank, but remnants of writing persists on some of the fragments. There are enough pieces there to sadden both mages.
The writing desks in the back have some old inkwells with hard ink dried to the bottoms of them. It looks as if they'd been sitting there, open, for at least a couple of months. It's odd to leave an inkwell sitting open to the air, especially since the inks used to scribe magical scrolls can be somewhat expensive.
You find a box set of some exquisitely-decorated ink-pens inlaid with mithril and silver tucked in a false back of a drawer. SILI and DAI converse about what they might be worth while ZEIG continues to look through the other desks. They wager each pen, of which there are five, is worth at least 50 gold. The set together might fetch more, especially back in Cornelia where drow craftsmanship is a very collectable thing.
22:49, Today: teslas, on behalf of DAI, rolled 13 using 1d20+4.
22:49, Today: teslas, on behalf of SILI, rolled 16 using 1d20+6. appraise.
The five pens and their carved wooden box weighs 3 lbs.
ZEIG's heart soars for a moment as he finds a scroll with a black ribbon tied around it. Opening it up, he finds instructions on how to properly tie a ribbon around a scroll.
