Session 56 - Treasure & Magic Items

Here is a summary of treasure obtained in the last three sessions:

IDENTIFYING ITEMS [1400 sp]:

2 Javelins of Lightning [400 sp]
Single-use item. Range of 90'. On a strike, becomes the end of a 5' wide, 30' long lightning bolt. Deals 1d6 damage to the target. The target and any creatures in the bolt's 30' path take 20 lightning damage, save vs. spell for half.

- The Blank Mask [400 sp]
Mutes the emotions, giving the wearer +4 to saves vs. fear, charm, suggestion, confusion, emotion, etc. It also changes alignment to Lawful Neutral and reduces CHA to 9. Daqqa-Jin refuses to take it off.

- The Bleeding Cross [0 sp]
Zvezdana takes one look at this thing and explains that it is a unique and strange relic of the ancient world. Her sagely knowledge won't help. You will have to find out what it does through further research, other magical spells or experimentation.

- Queen's Lorgnettes [400 sp]
These shaded, gold-rimmed spectacles are held with a long handle instead of sitting over the ears & nose like most eyeglasses. In normal light they are useless and cannot be seen through. Against bright lights (spells, staring at the sun, etc) they can protect the wearer’s eyes from damage, granting +2 to saves and reducing effect lengths by half while worn – of course this will occupy one of the users’s hands for the duration.

- Potion of Extra-Healing [100 sp]
A bubbling purple-black syrup, smells like bananas and cinnamon. Heals 3d6+3 hp.

- Potion of Levitation [100 sp]
A thin, cadaverous-yellow fluid with threads of bubbles rising from the bottom. Smells like buttered rum and hashish. Levitate as the spell, 1d6+6 turns.

[I have taken the liberty of charging player characters shares of identifying costs based on the expedition where the magic items were obtained. As a result, the characters who were only at the Sage's Temple paid almost nothing (identifying one potion). This seems fair since they recovered much less treasure. Unless you guys ask me to do otherwise, this will be my policy with treasure breakdowns going forward, it seems fair and speeds things along.]

Young Joe Spruce - 2002.3 sp

Cassia, Salzige, Finrod, Owen - 574.2 sp

EXPERIENCE TOTALS:

DOWNTIME CONCERNS:

- Xénos is capped and will need to train before he can gain more experience points. Level 6 awaits buddy!

- Owen the Vitalizer requires 7 days bed rest before he can go adventuring again.

Fear Points:

Recall that for every 20 days of uninterrupted rest with no activity, a character recovers 1 fear point.

- Robert the Swift has fought too many undead, and has slipped into a catatonic state! Until he recovers some fear points, there is a 50% chance he is simply uninterested in anything happening around him.  [14/14]

- Xénos is teetering on the edge, 1 fear point away from madness! [10/11]

- Young Joe Spruce is looking haggard after the last few encounters. [12/14]

- Finrod is coming close to the edge of his limited mental fortitude. [7/9]

- Daqqa-Jin is tough, but has been through quite a lot recently. [10/14]

- The rest of the party is doing well:
Owen [2/16]
Salzige [3/12]
Getorix [4/16]
Cassia [3/9]
And of course Uriah is immune.
