It's quite sharp, and Fritz gets a strange jolt when he touches it. DC 26 Will save, please.

Riding up cautiously, Hamun Ry will try to read the runes from as far back as he can. Or are they obviously magical runes? If so, he won't read them yet.

Oops, nm. Well, can he read the single rune?

The blade cuts right through the bag and the rock, splitting it neatly in two... then goes right through the carpet and the stone floor.

Omar arches an eyebrow.

The bag parts over the halves of the stone, and you can see it was black and glossy, obsidian. A very rare rock.

Omar stands and goes to a shelf, pulls a thick, dusty book off, blows on it, coughs and waves his hand at the dust cloud, cracks open the ancient pages and flips through a few, muttering to himself and nodding or shaking his head occasionally. This goes on for some time. Then he says, "a-hah! Y...

[Does the Engima-Judge's prayer give us any additional information?]

Omar smirks, and nods. "Powerful artifacts of the ancients often overwhelm the mind. But there are ways around it. Tell me first, though, what does the blade do?"

"'ere now, dis way," the retainer says, scowling at Fritz. He leads, Omar follows, and Fritz brings up the rear... the hallway winds into the building, with many battered wooden doors on either side, occasionally the squeaking of rats is heard scurrying from underfoot in the dim torchlight...

It's some kind of title. The language is old, so it doesn't mean much anymore (much like American English names don't really "mean" anything). Anyway, Fritz doesn't know. No obvious bulges or anything on the retainer. If it came to a physical fight, Fritz could easily kill these two old ge...

"The blade, it came from Bone Hill? Fascinating. Yes, yes, come in, come in..." the peephole slams shut and the door is unbolted from the inside, and opened. A dark, narrow hallway leads inside. The old retainer stands in front of his master, the Wizard, who's taller and more imposing then...

"Do I look like a wizard t'you?" the man says, snorting. "Wait here." The peephole slams shut again and the sound of sandals flapping on stone recedes away behind the door. Some long minutes later, the sound of voices echoes closer, and the peephole opens again. A different face,...

A short moment after he turns, the peephole door slides open. "'eere now, show this blade."

Hamun Ry shrugs. "You may be correct. Mulmo wasn't clear. Let's wait until the sun begins to set." Then he seems to have second thoughts. "Perhaps we should send the Thief up to scout around and take a look, while we wait? The thicket seems impenetrable from here, but ... looks could ...

Why're you afraid of neckbeards?

It requires a DC 15 Stamina check to run around the hill seven times without stopping. The horses can make this easily, but poor Rupert the Imp may not make it. You ride south, so clockwise around the hill, following the progress of the sun. [ Do we need to be facing the hill at all times? We could...

The man spits out the peephole, narrowly missing Fritz. "'e's busy. Go 'way." Then he slams the peephole shut.

The little boy seems to have vanished.

Fritz gives the boy 5 coppers. He then lifts the boys chin and looks into his eyes. "Wait for me here and you will receive your silvers but if you've lead me to astray, the Flame Blades will pluck out your eyes." At the mention of the Flame Blades his eyes widen slightly, and he nods vigo...

"I was with him when the shadow came upon him. It was a forfeit he paid to save us all, and I yet hope that he may someday walk again in the light." Cathbad desperately wants to discover how to read the book that she found, but after her experiences is desperately afraid to mention it to ...

Hamun Ry flips a coin... (1=heads, North, 2=tails, South)... 2, tails... "Go South around the hill. Seven times." Then he whispers to himself, "Show me this entrance, Mulmo, and I will restore your slave, but only if you uphold your end of the bargain. Wisdom and secrets I require.&qu...

Thanks, I missed that. Before going back in, then, Cathbad is going to invest that 10 of that 15 gp in obtaining a suit of padded armour. She'll also obtain a backpack, five torches, flint & steel, a waterskin, and 5 days' rations for the journey. She's able to secure all of this stuff with rel...

Deeper into the maze of alleys the young boy takes Fritz... the shanty buildings rise twenty feet or more over his head, blocking out the suns' light, and the pathways are gloomy and dark, stinking with offal and refuse. Finally, there are no more people, and the ones he does see quickly shut their ...

He nods vigorously and grabs Fritz's hand, dragging him through the crowded alleyways between the stalls and shouting merchants. Deeper into the slums he goes, winding around and around in a serpentine fashion, until Fritz is quite lost. They pass many vagrants and beggars, and occasionally a strong...

A dark-skinned boy comes up to Fritz, begging. Fritz gives him a couple pennies and asks about a sage, and the boy says "Al-haragash! I will take you to him! 1 silver coin!"

Trim is still trying to find out the secrets of his blade. Is there anyone he dare trust have examine it? I think you mean Fritz? He'll need a sage. He can do some digging to find one, or seek out the only one he's currently aware of, Mr. Pollux, Roberto Salazar's employer... the guy who sent the g...

Who doesn't love neckbeards?!
