+ | *A silver ring likely worth 125 gp | ||
+ | *A small sack with 80 gold. | ||
+ | *2,000 gp | ||
+ | *Three greenish gemstones, each likely worth 150 gp | ||
+ | *A second large circular key, resembling the one that opened the mummies' tomb | ||
+ | *A slim traveling spellbook and a smaller book that contains mundane writing in a cramped and archaic hand -- both are written in Common and appear to contain the same handwriting. Both tomes are bound in dark leather and embossed with a silver run that looks like this: هڪ. | ||
+ | *Plate armor that looks to be in surprisingly good condition | ||
+ | *Sword suspiciously free of rust (Sword +1) | ||
+ | *A silver necklace; the heat from the fireball has fused it together and partially melted it. What was once likely worth over a thousand gold is now reduced to roughly half that amount. | ||
+ | *The Lady of Shadows' staff. Touching it does 1d6 damage per round to Neutral PCs. | ||
+ | *The Lady of Shadows' ring (Ring of Protection +2) | ||
+ | *a short sword, its hilt wrapped in red, pebbly leather (from the bone chamber) | ||
+ | *Six boxes of thick black candles, each box worth about twenty-five gold and weighing a stone apiece. | ||
+ | *Twenty more sticks of incense, each worth 25 gold apiece. | ||
+ | *A dozen silver candlesticks, each worth thirty gold apiece. | ||
+ | *a large brass key from the painting-and-pit-trap room on sublevel 10 of the Candle | ||
+ | *The statue on the right hand side resembles the same humanoid moth and is carved from obsidian, the same as the other statue found in the storage room. In fact, it seems pretty much identical to the other one the party found. | ||
+ | *The statue on the left is about 24" in height, and resembles a partially melted column about 8" in diameter, carved from a greenish stone, with a dozen or so whip-like tendrils arranged around the axis in a haphazard manner. Also placed, seemingly at random, are dozens of eyes and five gaping maws, lined with sharp milky white crystalline teeth. It seems to those examining the statues that they can see dark stains on the carved teeth. The statue could possible be worth as much as 300 gold to a collector of avant-garde art. | ||
+ | *A magical spear on the wall (Spear +2) | ||
+ | *The non-magical weapons are all ancient, and of unusual stylings that suggest they were fashioned in a different land. All appear to be of extremely high quality, and would likely sell for 500 gold apiece. There are three swords, five spears, a battle axes, three warhammers and a mace. | ||
+ | *There is the book that radiates magic. It bears runes that looks like this upon the embossed leather cover: አንድ . The runes on the magical book read as "Likang Ulin". | ||
+ | *There are two more books upon the table, one covered in red leather, the other in black. There is no writing upon the one in red leather; the one in black has writing upon the spine in silver threads, but it is in a language that none of the adventurers can read. It says "Journey through the Shadowlands". | ||
+ | *There are two spell scrolls, both containing arcane magics. | ||
+ | *The other scrolls appear to be as follows: a list of names (about thirty, in total), half of which are crossed off, a parchment containing seemingly random doodles of moth-like creatures devouring tiny humans, what looks almost to be a recipe but Hira judges to be a formula for the creation of some sort of enchanted item, and an unlabeled map. | ||

+ | ===Scrolls and Spellbooks=== | ||
+ | *Brass scrollcase from secret room in Keep, containing a scroll with the following spell: ''Hold Monster'' | ||
+ | *A brass scrollcase containing a single rolled scroll of soft vellum. It is a scroll of arcane magics, written in an archaic dialect of Common. It contains the following spells: ''Sleep'', ''Read Languages'', ''Dispel Magic'' and ''Giant Strength'' | ||
+ | *A curious cylinder of wood, perhaps six inches in diameter and a foot and-a half long. One quarter of the height has writing carved into it; those capable of understanding Faerie note that it is in that tongue, and those of a magical nature further note that the writings are magical. The cylinder weighs one stone. It is a spellbook containing ''Sleep, Cause Fear, and Detect Faerie Lands'' | ||
+ | *Owlbear spellbook with ''Jump, Shield and Wall of Smoke''. The pages are swollen with moisture and some of the ink is smeared. There exists a possibility that using the book to study might result in magical mishap, if care is not taken to transcribe the spell properly. | ||
+ | *An apprentice‘s spellbook that contains ''Detect Magic'', ''Floating Disc'', ''Ventriloquism'', ''Locate Object'', and ''Mirror Image''. | ||
+ | *The scroll contains the spell ''Levitate''. IC 1220 | ||
+ | *The writing upon the slate is a magical formulae for a spell that seems to be able to turn -- at least temporarily -- a certain number of steel or iron weapons into silver.

+ | *The shaman carries several thin sheets of metal, bound together by leather and containing writings in what looks to be the Bestial tongue. They contain the spells ''Sleep'' and ''Ventriloquism'' | ||
+ | *A scroll of some thin, pale leather that contains more writing in Bestial. The scroll has the spells ''Wizard Lock'' and ''Phantasmal Force'' | ||
+ | *The spellbook of Apaflas Da. It contains the first level spells ''Magic Rope'', ''Wall of Smoke'', ''Summon Dervishes''; the second level spells ''Gust of Wind'', ''Locate Object'', ''Stinking Cloud'', ''Summon Steed''; third level spells ''Earth's Teeth'', ''Summon Winged Steed''; fourth level spell ''Wall of Sand''; fifth level spell ''Conjure Elemental''.

− | + | The land is probably not that great for farming, at least not much past a narrow band on either side of the river. It is, however, ideal land to raise goats, sheep or even cows (again, think west Texas terrain). Fish and fowl are plentiful in the river -- or will be again, now that the trolls are gone. There is the copper mine with potential for more mines -- a comprehensive survey will determine how many -- and the possibility of quarrying sandstone. The land revenue for this hex is 7. | |
+ | |||
+ | What makes it really valuable, however, is the location of the Keep for controlling (and taxing, potentially) river traffic. | ||

+ | Comprised of four 6-mile hexes and two urban centers (Hob, population 125 families and Pevin, population 50 families), Chelles has an overall population of 1,175 families. It is technically a wilderness domain, but for some as yet unknown reason is actually classified as being civilized. Therefore it has an overall garrison cost of 2,350 per month. You will need to garrison some number of troops here that equal or exceed this value in order to occupy it and keep the peace. Then we'll just give it time and see what transpires as p. 64 of D@W (opposing morale checks, essentially). | ||

I do not know there goal, only that I observed them purchasing furs and blankets and other cold-weather gear.
