Ardenas looks on curiously, reassured that things are peaceful.

"Bonus stone?"

In reply to Mancini (msg # 707):

The stone is a dwarven whetstone! Yourrapier has been sharpened.

Value: $500

Mancini thanks Fergush for his gift and asks him where the ogres are finding their interesting trinkets.

In reply to Mancini (msg # 710):

Margala shrugs.
"Was in troll tool room with puny knives."
She motions to Borug, who is standing by Druck and Winslow.
" Borug, show Manseeknee people tool room, want see puny knives."

Oly steps forward, he wants to see these first.

Mancini nods, and makes a motion for the ogre to take them to the area they are talking about.

Ardenas follows, curious about the "puny knives."

"I'm a little surprised the Guild party who drove the trolls out of here left anything behind.  That's not like Guild."

"Yes, that is curious...."

In reply to Mancini (msg # 715):

"Perhaps it was a new addition..." she says as she goes to have a look.

In reply to Aoife (msg # 716):

The workshop Margala shows you looks like it was ransacked, but still has a variety of cheap looking tools on the workbench. A drawer hangs halfway out of the table, where it looks like something noteable was taken. In the corner is a forge and a pile of coal.
"I found sharp stone under firerock."

In reply to Ogre wife (msg # 717):

Apife looks for anything that might have been overlooked.



[Private to GM: Using default, 8 under Per]

"Aoife?  Since the ogres live here and guard the place for Mancini and DuClaire now, it seems to me anything left by the trolls and those who drove them out ought to be theirs.  It was most generous of them to gift the sharpening stone to Mancini, but we have no right to anything still here."

In reply to Aoife (msg # 718):

"She pauses.

"Perhaps, but I am just looking to see if they missed anything."

Me too, but we might give it to the Ogres  He searches carefully.



[Private to GM: 19:30, Today: Oly rolled 15 using 3d6.  Search - Never mind... skill is 14]

In reply to Aoife (msg # 718):

You find a couple of carved pieces that look like they were part of a cylinder with sliding rings, that look like they were practice parts for something else, like a puzzle lock. Several different sizes were attempted, apparently.  In the dust and woodshavings under the desk, you find a small stone figurine of a multilegged lizard  with a broken tail. It is less than a span wide and chipped. It could be worth something to the right buyer.

I look in the dust and shavings for the broken tail....




[Private to GM:  13:03, Today: Oly rolled 10 using 3d6.  search.  Skill = 14]

Ardenas addresses Margala.

"Is Fergush recovering well?"

Margala replies forcefully  "Fergush fine" while subtly shaking her head and making a so-so gesture.

Mancini joins in the examination of the room.
(Ooc:roll passes.)

In reply to Mancini (msg # 726):

The room loomed to be a multipurpose  wood and metalshop, although there are some stoneworking tooks as well, all apparently of cheap quality. There are also some parchment sheets with sketches on them, annotated with runes.

I'll roll those up and take them ... Mighd be word zomedhin' do uz...




[Private to GM: Did he locate the tail of the little statue?]

(ooc: are the puny knives the same as the stone working tools? If not, I want to roll a merchant to find out them some more.)

In reply to Mancini (msg # 729):, wood and stoneworking

There are about 3/4 of a full set of tools for leather, stone, and woodworking, and some mixed smithing tools. It looks like someone may have packed a travelling kit of some kind. The leather and woodworking  tools might be puny knives, but there were only a handful of leather tools, such as might be used to make a belt... there must be another leatherworking site, and probably another forge.  Those sketches...

Oly pulls them back out and unrolls them...

In reply to Oly (msg # 731):

Covered in trollish runes, these are schematics. One seems to be for a water spraying device, another for a pot trap, another for a barrier of spikes covered with wet hide. All seem to be ingenious means of killing what look like balls of fire.
