Ok, you guys have figured out how to get out without burning a scroll, but I asked this in a previous post:



You are 24 minutes after the death of Rim-Thul by great beatings- were you spending the 5 minutes to search? Since Keichi offers relatively little to searching, I assumed he could gather loot in this time (and the only semi-valuable loot left is the furniture and the fancy draperies, because I assume you shoved the weapons and lesser turas that I haven't detailed into a bag), but not if you don't want to, or have something else to do (Keichi stored the evil souls in the gem earlier).

I'm not afraid of your little time counter, Mr Psychologic Warfare. So maybe you kill us all... that's fine. I'll be a druid, and I will make friends with all the pixies of the world and forge an army to irritate the piss out of you.

I do not feel we need to gather all of the rugs and drapes like some sort of gay hobo wizard. Instead, I think Keichi should keep watch since we'll have to be outside to do this. It would be a perk if he could see invis, but oh well.

He needs a couple more levels before he gets core sense and ghost sight, and no one in party can see invis at the moment.

The five minutes pass, and you do find some vaguely interesting things:

1)- Some of the scales from the twisting ball of mouths and blackness are at the bottom of the spring / pool. Morgrim knows that this is a "darkbonded" creature- a forged link to a creature from the Unbound, using the dark magic of Umbra. He was apparently bathing.
2)- There's some fucking sweet absinthe in one of the rooms, and based on the dresses and voriphan romance novel, you're guessing that Orchid stayed there.
3)- Reltaroof had started work on a letter, but it's incomplete. Any of you tards read Umbran?
4)- There's some interesting desert-pear drink that you've never seen before, non alchoholic.
5)- One of the chairs folds up and could be squeezed into the bag of holding, if you are so inclined.
6)- There's a special squeezing tool, its purpose a mystery until Ash points out that it's a nail clipper. The rest of the party now thinks elves are a bit... uh... fancy for having a special tool for that purpose.
7)- A watering skin that is made of gold dragonscale is found in one of the bedrooms. If you wanted that.
8)- There's some very nice incense that might sell for a bit.

29 minutes in.

What's next?

I don't have anything else. I believe we have all studied this place well enough to come back here without much difficulty. We've searched, magically detected, and looted everything inside the rectangular area. I don't particularly want to go searching through the dunes unless we see footprints that don't belong to elemental chasing an elven priest.

Unless anyone has any other objections, I'm fine changing the permanent image to a visual of Rimmy getting slain by people who don't look like us with the text "Thus always to slavers" or something of the sort, handing my empty haversack over to someone, carrying all of my shit into a bag with me, feeling moderately disgraced by this whole thing, and getting the hell out of Dodge back to Emerald.

Anyone else? I assume you'll be teleporting with the Rigbag of Dropping pretty soon like otherwise.

I'm all for gathering up stuff. I think that we are okay taking all the things we find. If anyone has any objections I think we are ready to blow this joint.

I didn't follow. Are you good to go, or are you wanting to poach more stuffz?

I am over it. Lets get the hell out. Hopefully no one recognizes all the drapes Keichi is cleani... errrm, is selling.

You mentioned that I was searching for loot, and I am saying that I'm fine with that.

In other words, Scottygrim, be me up.

We have all the loot except drapes and area rugs. What you're saying is you are, indeed, gathering drapes and area rugs.

You stood watch while the group quickly searched the environs and did a once-over of the house. It is 29 minutes in. If you want rugs and drapes, it would probably be the whole group gathering this time, and would take 8 minutes total.

You already have a few of them (worth a few hundred gold) as detailed in my first loot post, but these were removed while the casters were diddling the box.

Time to go. Kthnx.

There is no way I am grabbing drapes and rugs.

lets gtfo

Ok! That sounds like consensus! Rigby gets in the bag, and Morgrim chants the words. A minute later (no time passes fr you, of course) you are in Emerald, outside Zem tower.

Actually, I forgot about the lodestone. Rigby and the bag of holding pop onto the street without warning, and a minute later the rest of the group arrives, picking the bag up.

I think I might, but I'll need my character sheet to be sure.

Will post text when not at a wedding.

Whoa... What? Knowledge arcana/spellcraft/ask the wizard to determine whether there is a one minute delay in your world in teleport or something like that. Or if was because of where we were specifically.

The spell description says instantenous, so... either that is not true in this case, or I went back in time.... perhaps due to faster than light travel, but I wouldn't think that would be really the case. Also, we're not a light-minute from Emerald.

The effect is a Greater Delay Teleportation, permanent, with a custom mod to alert the wearer of a certain pendant instead of the original caster (who is long dead). Presumably this is to prevent just ANYONE from teleporting to Emerald without calling first.

Ah, ok. So it was the place to which. Excellent.

Maybe "Anticipate Teleportation, Greater". It is in one of the books.

Antici

paaaaashun

Hrm. I appear to have had a lot of rum.

I attempted dividing the rest of the loot. I'll just bring it printed out with me. We can certainly do all the trading and whatnot you want, this just gives us a baseline.

Excellent. Fantastic Rocky Horror reference.
