Cool. Can we vote for our massive demon-killing friend?

She was certainly effective in combat, but I think the intention was for that award to go to a PC.  On that basis, I'll vote for Oly; the quiet knife was very instrumental in getting us inside their perimeter so we could use confusion against them.

Oly bows deeply at the suggestion.

I wish I contributed more, but unfortunately, whoever built this character largely killed any real offensive ability.  Luckily, I can pay Norman to do the fighting for me And learn random skills on the fly.

Leaders of Rank are not expected to fight so much.

that mancini looks alot tougher than the old one. he was a nerd.

Thank you, Chye... I think.

In reply to Ales Konstantin (msg # 136):

As an NPC I thank you. I got retconned with the new Slayer book, so no freebies.

Point to Oly.

Mancini could drop four on Norman and have him suddenly step up to his potential as a 125point character if wanted... Hirelings are often not who they seem.

Is intrigued... Do tell me more.

My thanks...

In reply to Oly (msg # 139):

After some quick appraisal by Mancini, you learn the following about the demonologist's gear:
He was wearing a magical hooded robe of protection, worth $9600 and useable as a power item of some heft.
The fine, ornate dagger, set with sard and malachite, which Ardenas is sure is magical, is probably worth just over $10000 (all prices pre-sale)

The spell stone needs to be analyzed tp determine what spell is in it.


Thatbook you found previously is not detectable as magic, but definitely has some weird power to it.

Good news is, most of 500 silver after sell-off.

Bad news is, items too valuable for any one of us to keep and use (unless one of us is a bunch richer than another).

Off to the Guild to get that stone analyzed?

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 141):

Of course. Who can we get to sell them for the best price? Mancini?

I would live the cloak, but for a leprechaun, it would be a tent of protection!

In reply to Aoife (msg # 142):

Analysis of the stone would cost $60 and a god reaction roll. While at the guild you should meet Grimaldi and Sederic.

Were their CPs awarded that I missed...

In reply to Oly (msg # 144):
not yet

In reply to Oly (msg # 144):

As there were rewards for the big cult battle, there are two each (and only one for Norman) for defeating the demonolgist and his instant As- Sharak

In reply to Narrator (msg # 146):

Mancini, I presume you do these investigations prior to going to the guild? Sale price of Cloak and dagger, and type of spell stone? Actually, can magic be used on the spell stone to determine the location of it's caster?

Seems to me it would be sensible at this time to spend a point on Knot-Tying (get off default and finally remember which way the rabbit goes around the tree and which hole he runs back down).  I'll hold the second in reserve for the time being.

In reply to Aoife (msg # 147):

That might be beyond the scope of even Analyze Magic, although it could be used to assist use of a seeker spell. There are spells that obscure that...

He was able to make simple evaluation, but the magic items need clarification in order to properly price them.

Question: Could Mancini try summoning Kalima as Wild Talent?  Or would that be too beyond the pale?

In reply to Ales Konstantin (msg # 150):

Hmm it would be at -4, need 20 fp, could be taken as a long action, and you would need to draw a pentacle and pick five things that would summon her...
A crit success might accidentally summon an avatar of Kali.

That sounds like a last resort sort of thing.  And where would Mancini get 20 fp?  Unless Aoife knows Share Energy and is stronger than she looks...

In reply to Ardenas Barehand (msg # 152):

You can chug four vials of paut in one hour before having HT effects. Aoife seemed to have an idea about an item that would go in that summoning circle... she could become a summonable ally, and those can havevariable availability and cost.

I plan on investing in a power item, myself..
