Title: A Gnolition Against Compasion
Post by: Asinjin on October 07, 2016, 12:21:24 AM
Half of the brothers stop at nothing to find the others.

Ozzle - For remorseless fey hatred - 2250
Drax - Getting blinded, stunned, and knocked unconscious - 2000
Tarkin - Snake was a wise choice - 2250
Scratch - When the blind try to lead the not blind - 1800

How far away are we from the rest of the Gnolls and the main camp?  I know we were sent out to scout, but if we could get back to someone who has the ability to scry or cast a sending, maybe we could find our bothers.

You are a long way from any gnoll or allied camp, at least 100 miles.

AS mentioned Foost comes to get a report every week, but its not a set day and time.  It has been two days since you last saw him.

You didn't give credit to the efficacy of Drax's Blinding Embers of Revealing.

What did the pixie and brownie have on them? Spell component pouches and their wedding rings? Drax uses a detect magic on the stuff Ozzle stripped off of them.

"Tox's blood magic could not have taken our brothers very far. I will send Gantu to seek them out from the air."

The hawk searches in a spiral pattern going out to ~1 mile. +16 spot check.

You are correct, my mistake.

Anything that may have been of component use on the brownie is gone.  You collect what was on the wife for your stock.

The rings are small and tiny, but made of silver and gold.  You take them.  Their value is under one gold coin.

Both creatures give off an aura of magic, although it is fading.

There are a small and a tiny knife, one from each.  They are dolls toys in your gnoll hands.

The wife had a pouch of what can only be described as pixie dust that Drax thinks has some value, as either a spell component or for sale.  You are guessing 150 gold coins worth.  Although it has a wide variety of component uses.

It begins to search, but it is dark in a thick forest.

What did Ozzle do to the troll turned wood?  Did he stab at it?

I just checked to see if it was able to be peeled because I wanted some bark as a trophy.  Since it is now a solid piece of wood, it can't be peeled. 

One thing I'd like to do is burn it.  "Drax, can you burn this thing with your magic?" 
Title: Re: A Gnolition Against Compasion
Post by: Asinjin on October 08, 2016, 12:20:27 PM
In your efforts to determine it ca't be peeled, you notice glints of shiny in the wood.

Draz also gets a sense of faint magic from it.

You determine their are pieces of gold running throughout the wooden body.

Can we cut the gold out of it?

Tarkin spends time going through the other brothers equipment to see if they have an axe.  I myself only have a spears, bows, skinning equipment, and daggers.  It's going to take awhile....

Well, let's get started my brothers.  This gold isn't going to extract itself.

Someone has a work ax that you start to use.  It is noisy and it will take a while.  How long do you spend?

I can't speak for the others, but I'll hack away all day if I have to.

While he hacks away, I'll scout around doing move silently, and hide checks trying to ambush someone who might hear.

Drax carries a camp axe. Though it may be more efficient to burn it with magic and manage the risk of forest fire with Tarkin's fire quenching ring.

Unless someone says otherwise, I will assume Ozzle is chopping and Tarkin is watching the area unless someone casts a spell or lights a fire.

I'd prefer not to use my fire-based blood magic unless I really need it.  If Drax wants to light it up, I'll step aside and let him do so.  Otherwise, I'll continue to hack at it.

The process is not unlike mining, its a lot of work for a variety of tiny gold pieces.  That said, it is gold.

It occurs to Drax, that gold from the body of a Golden Troll is likely more valuable sold as such for magic components than just as straight gold.

Do you cast anything to get the gold out?

Combust. Assuming Tarkin can put it out with his ring (?) of fire quenching.

Before you cast Combust, could we try to burn a small piece of the wood I hacked off just to make sure it burns?  We haven't tried burning it since we petrified it.  I also want to make sure this thing isn't regenerating.

Your test reveals that the wood will burn.  You see no sign that it is regenerating.

Did the fire harm the gold in any way?  Did it liquefy or remain solid after the surrounding wood burned away?

I don't think the fire is hot enough to melt the gold.

Gold melts pretty easily, but yes.. it wouldn't be hot enough to melt gold, let alone magic gold

Ozzle's applying scientific method? If Tox was here I bet I could convince him that you were a fey in disguise. The ensuing scrap would have been entertaining. What a shame.

When it burns out, and you have managed not to light anything else on fire with help of the extinguishing ring, you collect the equivalent fo 30 gold coins from the ash.
Title: Re: A Gnolition Against Compasion
Post by: Hero on October 10, 2016, 11:12:26 PM

Is that the street value just as a precious metal, or is that the value of it as a spell component?

Were either of those daggers magical? Always wanted an enchanted toothpick.

Scientific...what does that word mean?

Ozzle simply doesn't want to ruin his prize that he's claiming from the petrified husk of his victim.

He smacks nerdy brother...I mean Drax...upside the head for his insult.

I will let that slide this time since you just saved my life. But just this once. Touch me again and you will be pulling magic missiles out of your ass for weeks.

With that comment, Ozzle bursts into laughter.  "So you do have a sense of humor after all."  Cackle catches the giggles after Ozzle starts laughing.  The two of them continue to laugh like hyenas while they carve the gold out of the troll's charred corpse.  The laughter gets particularly loud every time they peek over at the Fey corpses and see the twisted, horrified looks on their faces as rigor mortis sets in.  Ozzle subtlety wipes the tears of laughter off his cheek fur.

Scratch walks around the area listening for anything approaching.  If (more likely when) Ozzle's laughter becomes too hysterical and loud, he casts silence on the charred remains and continues his monitoring of the area...

During the process, you see and hear nothing out of the ordinary from the surrounding forest.

After the process is complete, where do you go?

you find a camp a suitable distance away in a good spot.  I assume the survival checks of this group are high.
