Your bolts (to your knowledge) only affect living things or otherwise animate things unfortunately.

"I can bury them with almost no visible ground disturbance, by magic, and in the ground they'll rust away in a matter of months or a few years at most.

Best we hurry, though, we wouldn't want to lose sight of the Procession."

"Good point. Burying them sounds like a good idea. Somewhere damp..."

Are there any creeks ahead?

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 406):

Anita's scratching seems to be doing something... please roll for damage these coins have DR 4 and only a few HP

In reply to Narrator (msg # 407):

Bronze short sword seems the most expendable item to use, so she will use that.

I have a steel knife which should deal with the iron easily.

"Where there are oaks or maples, the ground is damp enough.  I don't need tools, just a moment to cast, though I'd surely appreciate if someone could Lend me some energy afterward."

Gordab offers to try and cleave one of the coins.


His first misses, but the second time, after many practice swings, actually hits with a clang,
and there is an angry puff of oily black smoke

In reply to Gordab Bardson (msg # 411):

Did Anita damage one?

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 412):

Anita was barely able to scratch it (they have high DR)

In reply to Narrator (msg # 413):

Then Anita will suggest Gordab try the other as well...

Rosewood stays out the way.

The ogrekin, after wedging the coin in a stump, is able after several practice swings to strike the coin.
There is a screech like a kettle boiling when he strikes it, and a puff of greasy black smoke erupts from where the coin had been.

In reply to Gordab Bardson (msg # 416):

"Much better. That is both, is it not?"

Rosewood moves over and looks at the coins to check the curse has been removed properly.

OOC
Do I need to make a dice roll?

"Very much surer than burying the coins to let them rust.  Good work, Gordab.

"Now, we need to hurry to catch up with the Procession, if we haven't already lost it."

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 418):

the coins are shattered and are no longer magical.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 420):

"Right, lets hurry to catch up..."

She observes who is also with them from the procession.

Rosewood flys over to join Anita Drake and stay close to her.

The procession, which you can see is quite long,
wends its way through the woods, until it opens on a vast moonlit plain.
There, you can see green glowing spectres in ancient legionnaire armor
gathering their spears and shields into a massive wicker-man like effigy.

An honor guard surounds a corporeal deal man in the purple toga and golden laurels of an emperor toward the wicker man.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 423):

Anita is cautious, but continues on with the procession...

"Romans?  And one so recently dead as to still have flesh?  I had heard it was a generation and more since the plague did for the Romans.  I wonder if time is so different here."

In reply to Shawn Nyseth (msg # 425):

"Who are Romans?" Anita asks quietly.

"They founded the old empire and came after the goblins.  They built many roads and buildings with pillars."

"I know of them only from reading about the human world, but the drawings in the books had armor much like these specters."
