OOC: Bloody hell, that sounds rough - hope it's better soon!Cathmhaol raised an eyebrow at the man's apparent eagerness to the take the drow blades. "Zeric, a word," he said, bckoning to the young magician. Stepping away from Alxedr, he said quietly, "Yer man's keen t' make a sale - d' ye have any clue what these might be worth?" Zeric kept his face impassive, not wishing to betray anything to Alxedr which might devalue the blades, he answered quietly, " Well, whilst I do not have much skill in the appraising of such items, I would hazard a guess that such artifacts, being by their very nature, originating in the Underdark, and given the fearsom reputation of drow warriors, do not enter the open market very often. My instinct is to hold out for a better price. In fact, perhaps Dace, in his facility as a "caravan guard" may be better equipped to value such potential valuables. Or perhaps, you might consider seeking the opinion of the Dwarf - though I caution you that his estimation may be somewhat out of date by three centuries or so."

Rumbleskin harumphed good naturedly at the proprietor on hearing nothing of his kin and looked a little deflated...

"Bear wi' me a moment," said Cathmhaol to Alxedr, "While I confer wi' my colleagues." He stepped over to Dace and Rumbleskin. "He's offerin' 100 crowns a piece f' the drow swords but he's a gleam in his eye that makes me think he's takin' us f' a ride. Ha' ye's any idea o' their value?"

"It's like this, boss." said Dace in a low, conspiratorial voice. "If they're magical or masterwork, then he's getting a bargain. If they aint, then we're rippin' him off. I say we take them elsewhere, see if we can get 'em proper valued. If he's that keen, he'll offer us more now or still want 'em later."

After the discussion between the two warriors, Delora stepped forward and spoke to the wizard.
"We will take the gold for the Armour. Were think the blades are worth a little more, maybe you could up your offer. " She said with a muted and sweetly smile
The wizard looked at her his brow furrowed. "Im cutting off my arm here, your stealing food from my children. But you haggle a good price girl, I could definately use someone like you here." he said his frown turning into a smile.
"One thousand gold, thats my final offer. For the armour, the blades and the helmet! I like drow manufacture its usually of the best quality, we can do good things with them." he announced before walking over to the dwarf his hand by the side of his mouth as if hes pretending to talk in secret. "Butnot as good as a dwarf's, eh?"
He looked at the group, expectantly....

Dace looked at Cathmhaol and said, without bothering to whisper.
"Take it. Let's take the cash get the hell out of this city."

"Ye've a deal," said Cathmhaol, and proffered his hand to Alexdr.
He turned to the others, "If'n ye need any supplies, now's the time t' say."

Zeric nodded, "If I might beg but a moment's more indulgence, Cathmhaol?"
Without awaiting the warrior's approval, he reached into his satchel and withdrew the silver hand, stepping towards Alexdr as he did so, "Master Dwarf, I realise by the activity in this forge, that your speciality is weaponry, but might I impose upon you to offer an opinion upon the worth of this artifact?"

Alexdr grabbed the hand of the Waterdhavian warrior "Its a deal. My friend its a deal. " The human wizard motioned for his assistant to bring out the gold, two dwarves stepped forward placeing three large gold bars and a large back of gold on the desk. Seeing their puzzled faces, the young wizard continued "the three bars are trade bars worth 250 gold each. You'll find them easier to carry than a thousand gold, of course if you prefer gold I can give you that"
Delora smiled and looked at the rest of the party, "He's correct the bars will work in any major town and they are much easier to carry than the full amount in gold"
The wizard took the hand from the sorcerer, ran it around in his hands "Hmmmmm, hmmm, Hmmm. Its possibly Netherese, is at least five hundred years old. At a guess and without casting a number of powerful spells on it, some of which I dont have in my spell books. Id say it was part of something else before it was cut off." With that he pointed at the wrist of the hand, "This is jagged looks like it was hacked off by a failry sharp blade. Interesting very interesting"

OOC: Paul, what would you consider to be a 'minor' enchantment?

Post by Dungeon Master on Aug 4, 2008 20:24:42 GMT
OOC- A minor enchantment is +1 bonus or a 1-3rd level spell, roughly.
