Narrator: With the force of Tyr pinning the demonic twisted elemental against the side of the house, it collapses. Whimpering with pain, it pleads for pity in the face of divine wrath. Torvall, Artegal, and Ystava combine to righteously strike it down.

Beltarne: First Aid/TL3 (Human) result: ?failed by 4

Beltarne: Minor Healing (Holy) result: ?succeeded by 7

GM: The dwarf lord wore double proof light steel dwarven harness, though it's been heavily damaged and corroded and is now only DR4 and worth 25% of normal. It could be repaired. He also has a fine dwarven pick and a fine great dwarven shield (it was polished once, no longer).

Beltarne: Great dwarven shield?

Beltarne: What's great mean?

GM: The dwarf lady has a fine dwarven medium shield and a fine hatchet with some kind of magic.

Bedlam: bathroom break

GM: Great is large, oops, confused notes.

Beltarne: K

Ystävä: Upsidedowncat suggests someone learn the Repair spell.

Beltarne: Don't know if I can

Osgar: I can, but pre-reqs are costly

Ystävä: Sadly not a Cleric spell :/

Beltarne: Dwarven Artifacer cleric would be cool

GM: In the basement, there is a dwarven book made of silver plates, "Das Tagebunch von Frau Loreley Elenore Starkegarm". It weighs 6 lbs and would have value just for the silver weight.

Bedlam: back

Beltarne: Translated that means?

Beltarne: Fighting manual?

GM: There's also a scenic painting of some high plains with the scene in the distance background.

Bedlam: is mouser healthy again?

Beltarne: He's up.... 9

Beltarne: so at -1, and resting.

GM: uhm... Beltarne can puzzle it out as the "the diary of Miss Lorely Elenore Strongarm."

Beltarne: We'll stay here the night, I'll do a healing slumber on him.

Beltarne: Should be close to full by the next morning.

GM: There's also a metal dwarven dollhouse, and the dwarven lord had a ring of office on him - made from electrum and well carved.

Osgar: isn't mouser >20 HP?

Osgar: I did 8 (doubled) to him

Ystävä: Dollhouse = happy pixies.

GM: Anyone have a Connoisseur (Fine Art) or Area Knowledge (Silk Road)?

Torvall: I can easily heal him for like 48 points if I'm given 5 minutes to rest....will need to rest again after that tho.

GM: And searchers can make Search rolls.

Artegal: I might have the former.

Torvall: 45 minute to rest i mean

Bedlam: yeah, >20

Beltarne: This searcher is taking extra time.

Beltarne: For +2

Osgar: he should be up 32 then, since I think we both healed him

Beltarne: Search result: ?succeeded by 5

Osgar: I can heal more after searching/resting if needed

Ystävä: Perception check result: ?failed by 6»

Osgar: Search result: ?succeeded by 4

Torvall: I can heal for huge amounts if Im at full fatigue.

Ystävä: Srsly, Lay on Hands is boss.

Artegal: Connoiseur (Visual Arts) at 9, does that count?

GM: Beltarne also finds a dwarven whetstone in all the rubble. ($500, 1 lb); the painting is worth $150 and weighs 3 lbs.

Osgar: I have Connoisseur (all) at a default of 11 if all else fails

GM whispers to Beltarne: The painting looks familiar to you - you've seen references to it in the Polisberg library. It's several centuries old and actually worth $1800. Also, the panaroma is odd - it shows the Silk Road, but the Abbey of Last Resort and the mound that it sits on are both missing from the picture.

Beltarne: I have to go guys.

Beltarne: Sorry.

GM: Alright, we'll pick up next week with looting and stuff.
