The Rescuers or How much is (the bounty on) that doggie in the window?

After staring off into space for a moment, Ari says: "High Cleric Steelsmyth just sent me a message similar to King Oliver's. He says several council members do not seem like themselves. And that Sir John Toppin is in charge of the council."

Nisoru says: "This is ill news. We cannot take Arion and Lira into the Castle, if there is even a way in, not knowing what we face. If our enemy controls all of the defenses, or Stasis forbid, they have access to the armory, then we have no hope of prevailing. There are many things here that do not make sense, for one Sir John should have no role in the council. Another, the servants of evil should not be able to set foot in the Palace as it is holy ground, blessed by Stasis and Falan. "

"How long do we have?  I have no ability left to magically get us anywhere today." cough cough

"I can't even Send anyone."

"I can't even Send anyone."

Nisoru says: "We will have to trust King Oliver and the Steward to buy us a day or two. A unanimous decision is still required so we have at least a few days.  Lord Ari, who told you of the captives passage to the Plane of Shadow?"

[Asinjin]

"Can we assume that Marius will be assaulting us before we reach the castle?" cough cough

[Asinjin]

"Don't we have Sit John's Armor and weapon?  That should be enough to convince them of the truth of our story."

[Malchia]

"Don't we have Sit John's Armor and weapon?  That should be enough to convince them of the truth of our story."

Did we already discern Sir John's location with his armor and weapon?

For the second session in a row I've made a small error at the end of the session. In this case, the captured elf is a sorcerer not a wizard. He has a break enchantment scroll not a spell book.

He has three wands, a cloak, two rings, a short sword, a small bag of holding with a composite shortbow, bracers, a quiver of arrows, a saddle and a set of eye glasses. He also has a few hundred coin and three small gems.

The sorcerer is a half northern elf named Victor Farriorson.  The first wand is a healing wand, the second a magic missile wand and the last lightning bolts. The cloak is a cloak of resistance. One ring is protection, the second a "Lightning Master" ring.  The short sword is a spell storing and shocking burst weapon. (Nisoru tells you it bears the mark of Xares Ad'Alkai, a long dead Sakor'akai Bladelord from Amansky.) The shortbow is speed. The arrows are all magical.  The bracers are defense. The saddle enhances riding ability. The eyes are eyes of the eagle.

The last spell he learned is Waves of Fatigue.

Did I cast Analyze Dweomer today or the previous night?

Did I cast Analyze Dweomer today or the previous night?

I don't think so.

[Asinjin]

It was an either or question.

[whitesword]

It was an either or question.

Yesterday then. I thought it was the day before yesterday.

[Asinjin]

Okay then, I have a 6th level spell (although it has to be divination).  So I cast Analyze Dweomer on his items.  I am looking for the bonuses on the items mainly.

"Do we need to return this short sword to anyone?" cough cough

[Asinjin]

On another note, great name to the thread, don't know why I am just noticing it.

"Don't we have Sit John's Armor and weapon?  That should be enough to convince them of the truth of our story."

I don't know, would Ari know what he normally carries? Nisoru surely would know if I don't.

Escalon himself.
