+
*8 urns worth 35 gp each (IC 1172 [http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?747665-OOC-Barrowmaze&p=18810147#post18810147])
*An interesting looking mace of black iron (carried by Zortan)
+
*dagger with wolf head shaped into hilt with preserved leather sheath (IC 628 [http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?747735-IC-Labyrinth-Lord-The-Barrowmaze-Campaign&p=18769985#post18769985]), carried by Zortan
*35 gold hepats [http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?752724-Labyrinth-Lord-IC-II-The-Barrowmaze-Campaign&p=18884323#post18884323]
+
*''Staff of the Spectre'' (aka Gahlemdas's Staff), carried by Telemachus
*Ointment of Healing x4 (One ancient looking jar labeled Warkar, 4,000 gp)
+
** Passwall effect, cast Web, function as a Wand of Paralyzation or be broken as a retributive strike
*A carefully folded packet labelled Shafka (appear to contain dust of some sort, are made of oiled vellum, and appear to be quite old)
+
**At the same time Socus examines the staff. It takes about an hour, and at the end of the time the young mage is staring at the staff with awe. "It's the most powerful thing I've ever seen, and I'm not sure I've plumbed the depths of its powers, nor have an accurate idea of how much energy remains stored in it. But here's what I was able to tell. It functions as a normal magical stave vis a vis the ability to damage certain creatures only vulnerable to magic, if used in combat. The wielder can use it to open a portal through almost any material, or create a mass of a sticky, web-like material. Further, its powers can be called upon to create a cone shape ray that freezes all within its area. In addition, should the need be great, the wielder can break the staff, releasing the remaining stored energy in a great explosion. This is likely to kill the wielder, in all honesty. Unfortunately, in my estimation the stave has little energy left, perhaps enough for four uses of any of the powers I described. Of course, breaking it uses up all the remaining energy."
*Kentol of Keferth's spellbook, stored with Huffnpuff
+
**The adventurers meet with Leera in the morning. She is handling the staff with more respect -- awe even, perhaps -- than the first time she laid hands on it. "This staff," she says, "was created by the Archmage Gahlemdas during the Second Age of Man, and lost from history until now. It is theorized that one of his apprentices claimed it after his death, but records from that time period are spotty, inconsistent at best. It is said the the fortress of Gahlemdas was once located far to the west of Greenspire, on the shores of the Shallow Sea. But the boundaries of the ocean have changed since then, and no trace has ever been found of his once-mighty redoubt. This staff," she says, gesturing, "has the following abilities: It can create a mass of sticky strands, similar to the spell commonly known as Web. The wielder can use the stave to become invisible, or open a portal through solid material. She can summon a great whirlwind, such as those created by the elementals known as djinn. The wielder may create a cone of paralyzation, or if nearing defeat can break the staff, releasing the remaining stored energy in a potent explosion. Perhaps most interesting of all, there is an elemental of earth bound to this staff: the histories name it Renregin. The wielder can summon this being in time of need, but be wary, as you must maintain total concentration while the elemental is in this world, or it will be freed from its bonds and attempt to slay the bearer of the staff. We have determined there are nine uses remaining to this puissant item." She takes a deep breath. "I have spoken to my superiors, who have in turn contacted the Guild offices in Eras. We are prepared to offer you thirty thousand gold noturis for this item."
**1st Order: Light, Read Languages, Ventriloquism
+

'''Spellbooks:''' The LL rules state it is a week and 1000 gp per spell level to replace a book that has been destroyed, so let's say it takes one day and 100 gp per spell level to recopy a spell you know -- and have access to, obviously -- to a second spell book (this does not apply to scribing scrolls, of course).

===Monster Parts===
 
 
'''Skin:''' Often sold to make rare, but mundane, goods (such as boots, gloves, etc.). Skin of any sort can typically be sold to fashion parchment, and thicker hide tanned to bind books. When used to fashion magical items the hide must be intact and undamaged, and often imparts qualities the animal is known for. There are a few species where the worked hide provides bonuses without being inherently magical. Note also that the skin of certain beasts gains qualities largely through the act of slaying the creature in some dramatic manner.
 
 
'''Blood:''' Must be harvested within hours of death, in most cases blood has strictly magical uses and is used as an ingredient or spell component, rather than the finished product.
 
 
'''Organs:''' Again, organs are typically harvested for use as an ingredient or component. Certain primitive tribes and races hold the belief that eating the organs of one's enemy will impart some of the quality to the victor.
 
 
'''Bones:''' Used for components, ingredients as well as the finished product in magical items. For instance, one might fashion a flute from the femur of a harpy, that has the power to charm those who hear its music. Such items can only be fashioned from the bones of large and powerful foes, and not just any ordinary monster (in other words, they should have max hp or increased HD). Otherwise, bones can be sold as trophies or curiosities. Only the bones of rare or exemplary examples of a species tend to be worth much.
 
 
'''Claws/teeth:''' As bones, above, although exceptional trophies can occasionally be used as charms without actual enchantment, especially if the wearer slew the beast in single combat, or through a great feat of strength or without the use of magic, and so forth. Again, exceptional trophies can also be sold as mundane curiosities.

===Ironwood Motte===
 
The Motte is a town roughly three times the size of Helix, and while Helix has a certain bucolic charm Ironwood has very little in that regards. It is, quite simply, a city whose primary function is industry. After wandering around for a bit the two companions note the following:
 
 
* There are three obvious temples within the city. Two of them are dedicated to the new gods, while the third is a battletemple of Crom.
 
* There are four taverns -- The Bloated Halfling, The Leaky Barrel, The Black Dragon and The Half-lit Home -- and two inns -- The Golden Goose and Stella's.
 
* The Silver Standard Merchant Company has a large warehouse and trading post in the middle of the Merchant District, surrounded by other warehouses of various natures.
 
* There is a moneylenders called The Unexpected Gift. It's windows display a variety of necklaces and rings, all looking more expensive than what would otherwise be available in Helix.
 
* A small castle stands upon a slight rise in roughly the center of the town, surrounded by a wooden palisade of tree trunks sunk into the earth and lashed together. Guards in crimson and gold can be seen patrolling the walls. Groups of two or three guardsmen, wearing the same colors and bearing shields and short blades, can be seen periodically wandering through the streets.
