Re: (IC) The Village of Korthos
Brankx, ignoring the words of the others, searched the room over, all the while a furrowed brow of frustration. After minutes, the dwarf snorted, one hand on his staff, the other on a hip, clearly frustrated. He shook his head and closed his eyes, chanting in dwarfish. When he finished, his reaction was one that was not expected.
The dwarf staggered, almost like he took a blow to th head.
Stumbling, he steadied himself, leaning heavily on his staff in one hand, his other clutching at his temple as he closed his eyes and clenched his teeth in pain.
Within moments, the dwarf recovered enough to speak. "Ye darn bastard son of an orc fool!" He muttered. Bending over, he breathed heavily. But came upright with a smile. "....wasn't expectin' that!"
The dwarf asked slowly, clearly shaken, to one of the benches and dropped to the seat, laying his staff at his feet. He gestured the others over shaking his head.
"Ye weren't wrong about this being a place o' power girl....my simple spell to detect magical auras amplified so much that it nearly knocked me beard off.....but the plus side is I know what all this gear can do fer us."
Sighing, he indicated each item as he spoke.
"Th' dagger, shortsword and longsword are nhanced to be stronger, sharper and lighter....a common enchantment. Likewise, th' shield is stronger....again, common in magical items. That longsword has somethin' further on it, I believe it's been blessed by th' sun god."
"Th' pendant and one o' the rings bestow a measure of protection to someone, and th' other ring has th' ability to make a person jump. The cloak improves th' persons physical and mental resistance. Th' belt, however, is something I need to further study.....its magical alright, but where the spell let me discover all this, the belt still eludes me."
The dwarf, though clearly still a little shaken, had a smile on his face....both at the potential of this room enhancing spells, and the finds. "Such finds will help us if we are goin' to be meeting water demons and skeletons....or worse. I say we use them and once it's cleared out, we ask the mayor of these and any other items"
He looked at the group. "I have no need of the weapons or shield.....sure th' dagger may help, but with me spells and staff I think I should be fine. Likewise, I have no need fer the jumping ring....but either the ring or amulet that bestows armor, I could use. Being a wizard I use no armor, and something like that could save me life. Likewise, th' cloak would be useful."
He picks up the belt. "This.....I will hold onto until I know it's powers, and that is no question. I won't endanger anyone with an unknown items power.....even you balayst." The dwarf packed the belt into his pack, determined to figure that out at a later date.
