To ka'lion in a low voice outside so others cant hear them. " 3 for the hammer is fine, but this is worth much more to a temple then just an Amor. Yet the temple will be i think evil but my pan out she will not kill us and give reward. He will sell it for double.
However we do need that amor for me. And i do need to trade mine anyway.
I got an idea he is coning us, we both know it so we take advantage of him trying to until we get everything we want on our list or we dont sell it to him. The lower he goes the higher we do until he gives in. He offered 3 right off so it means he has lots to spare he trying every trick to get it. "

"We where just offered 3,000 gold for the scythe by the evil mercenary Jellico. If the weapon sacrifices it's wielder perhaps in his hands it might even do some good. But it would be underhanded fighting. After words we'd need to hire him to accompany us on our trip to the barbarians and he can burn himself up on the way there or on the way back. We end up selling it to evil again and again and again.
We'd make a fortune but I've never betrayed anyone trust before. At least not intentionally. Once you start doing that no one trusts you and I'm paranoid enough as it is. I don't do anything for the money. I never have. But we need money right now. A lot of it. But more importantly we need to limit any evil we do to as little as possible. We need to be able live with ourselves.
The real problem doing that is however is the evil he'd and others like him would do with it. You can pay us 3,000 in gold it protects everyone. Save it for a suicide mission. Used that way it can do more good then evil.
What's the hammer and amulets value together?" asked Ka'lion

Do you want to hand the amulet over to be appraised? |

Most of it is a private conversation with George,
The only part intended to be public is "Save it for a suicide mission. Used that way it can do more good then evil.
What's the hammer and amulets value together?" asked Ka'lion. He hands over the amulet.

The only part intended to be public is "Save it for a suicide mission. Used that way it can do more good then evil. If that is all Ka'lion says to Osbern then he nods and accepts that Ka'lion and George are keeping the scythe. Vassily looks over the amulet, "it appears similar to older symbols of the silver flame, much older, not the god Pelor, and I do not believe it connected to the hammer as I can feel no affinity between the two." After inspecting it with magic, "it is a protective ward. I have heard of the knights of the silver flame using such things as they were a warrior order. This seems to be an early example of the ward and yet ..." He looks up towards Osbern, "what magic I can sense is much like the cloaks Melwyn used to make. There is more to it, but I am no priest and Eldon has gone east". Osbern asks, "we paid a thousand for the cloaks, will this protect as well?" to which Vassily nods and states, "I believe so."Ka'lion could almost swear that the amulet did at one point look far more like the symbol of Pelor. Perhaps he had taken one too many blows to the head over the past month. Osberns earlier statement about dragonhide suggests the town may have things other than gold to trade. So far however these relics are not turning out to be the great artefacts the pair had hoped - from all indications their magic had faded greatly over the years and the steps to reignite it would likely not be easy. |

"We where just offered 3,000 gold and gems for the scythe by the mercenary Jellico. I guess we will sell the scythe to him as we can't use it. Osbern you suggested dragonhide. I don't think I'd like anyone that was wearing my peoples skin. At the very least it's disrespectful. And where I've only seen pictures of dragons I cant believe they’d treat me well because of it. I’d rather not piss any dragon off if it can be avoided.” said Ka’lion, "We may someday even need their assitence fighting the demons."

Osbern replies, "if you have a better offer for the scythe then take it, I trust Vassily's judgement on these things though I have not met this Jellico that you speak of. We had many travel through this town before the siege but without horses it will take time to spread the word of it's end."
"As for the dragons, I hear that they used to nest in the mountains to the west but the last of them was slain many generations ago. Several of the barbarian tribes claim descendence from the old slayers, one i'm told even has a throne carved from dragon bone and I believe some claims at least are a point of contention and war between the more savage tribes."
He looks down to the hammer and amulet, and peers at papers he had brought with him, "more mundane hide or leather armour can of course be arranged if you would prefer, and I believe we still have some of the old wyvernhide suits ... ah but you would no know that story."

" I hope the dragons still live. We live in a pretty sad world if the magical creatures that live in it are no more. Very sad indeed. I believe Jallico may be evil which is why I prefer to sell to the crown. From what I hear he's very greedy and a dangerous bully. But he may need to be provked. I think the wyvernhide suits provided they are light enough should be fine. George, you know if anyone can tell us about the demons an old dragon should be able to. We have other things to do first. But maybe latter. That would be a nice quest to locate the lost dragons. I'd like to hear about the wyvern story. If the armor is heavy can it be enchanted not to be? Neither one of us are that strong.” said Ka’lion, "So what is your offer for the hammer and the amulet? I think the amulet is changing it's appearance some how. When I first found it everyone said it belonged to Paler. Now I'm not so sure."

I have never meet a dragon from books and old stories they dont seam to be very nice to others, if you think it has information then i am all for it.
The suits i think will be hide if not mistaken. I know enchanted is costly but its needed. so hear is i think a good deal for all of us : the hammer and amulet for two suits that are enchanted. Inorder to make it ballanced out, Ill toss my amor i have on, its a fine amor, reliable. Is everyone ok with that?

"If it's hide it's much to heavy. I can barely stand up in in hide with all my gear." said Ka'lion

" Well when we are done here we should unload what we dont need, light load on you if possible. I know your going to say you need it all but out there we need to be light and fast. it means less to carry at all times. Amor is better to keep alive out there. So you will be able to take hide amor. I do think leather armor could be made."

"For the hammer three thousand, but I think perhaps a trade could be set", Osbern seems to be thinking back, "beneath the keep is the old vault, things not deemed suitable for the great vault nor public sale... some times the lords delve in for costume, or decoration, or a suitably curious gift for a visiting noble. I'm sure the wyvern hide is down there, spoils of war so to speak, but the vault is not well inventoried"
"There are dragons to the north, the outer lands of Woldegard. Some say there are islands beyond the north seas where they are many but here it is believed they were all descendants of one - Blackwing. Who slew him, if indeed any, remains one of the greatest points of contention amongst the tribes."
"As for this Jellico, has he committed a crime? Lady Alara has stated that you and the others who retook the keep are to be shown gratitude but there shall be no 'provoking'. If you have some proof of ill deeds then so be it, but i'll not turn away a traveller with coin in their pocket when the town is at it's greatest need."

"I was not suggestion provoking Jellico. I was suggesting not to provoke Jellico for public safety. You said you'd reimbusrt the costs of this evaluation. You need to do so so I can get my hat of disguise back. Then we can sell the scythe and take a look at your old vault. The way I defeated the scythe against the ixbaxian chief was I made sure he nearly killed me and held on to the handle while dying so he couldn't kill my party. He activated it's power and it killed him first. Who ever is using the scythe is not going to miss." said Ka'lion

"The hat is just collateral, it will be returned once one or more of the items have changed hands. I would suggest viewing the vault before setting a final price, you may wish to offset your trade against the armour and other such things that you requested."

Vassily answers, "as before, one hundred twenty five coins per item - though I charge nothing for the hammer as you have paid be for it in the past."
(2 items identified, 250gp. The amulet grants a +1 resistance bonus to saves and the scythe is a 'vicious' +1 weapon. Both have locked legacy abilities)

Osbern gives directions.
(are you making any sales at this point, or taking up Osbern's offer of possible trades from what he called the old vault, or are you going to sell the scythe and reassess your position? As it stands Vassily will be holding onto the hat until payment, trade, or purchases are made)
