Pepin will help Randall fill the bag of holding

 Z will also help fill any bags of holding or other bags once he is done with his search for items. He doesn't need the money for anything in particular, but it seems better to take as much as they can conveniently carry rather than leaving it for the Trolls or Goblins to find.

Z twiddles fidgets with his newly found magic item while waiting to see what happens next.

((Seems Brian hasnt been online since the 9th; hopefully everything is fine))

While Pepin is helping Randall he sees something shining through all the gems and coins.

"No way, that cannot be" he mumbles as he picks up a piece that looks like a pretty normal gear to most, but attached to it there seems to be some other pieces. He immediately starts searching the area around it "Come on, With two pieces here, there must be more right, shouldn't everything be here than.." But it seems he wasn't right about that, but he is certain he is right about what these pieces are.

Petcan starts looking over Pepin's shoulders.  "What'd you find there, hoss?" 

"I'll have to investigate a bit further, but I am pretty sure these two pieces belong to device known as the Orrery of the Wanderer, a legendary artifact that every artificer knowns."

"Sounds exciting. It certainly was worth coming here to repay our debt to the Angel. Although given how many useful items we obtained, I almost feel like we may still owe the Angel some further favour, or even favours"

Other than a couple of very rare magic items each, the only other treasure consisted of a scattering of many, many coins. Even electrum... even platinum.

So how much of that you can cart off depends on what you have at hand, pouches, backpacks, sacks etc.

(ooc: I'll count it as you all having a bunch of coins of various denominations to save time listing how much exactly.)

@Randall

The only trap you find is a clever one and you've all already triggered it. The entire floor of this chamber acts as a weighted pressure plate. When a certain weight is reached the floor sinks down about an inch very slowly and thus is not perceived by anyone. The water then begins pumping into the room.

@Pepin

The only way to drain the water is to reset the trap. When everyone leaves the chamber or is not standing on the floor it will rise slowly back into place and reveal 5 drains that will help the water flow out of the room.

@All

The room has an indeterminate number of coins. Depending on how many you want to gather and what you will carry them in I will leave for each of you to describe in a post. Also, you each get to pick a very rare magic item, and after you pick one I will look through the list and pick another for you myself (so in total you will have 2 magic items). This will represent all the treasure you are able to retrieve from this encounter in the time allotted.

Also, feel free to make a few posts interacting with the Battleforce Angel and completing the quest he charged you with.

Finally, everyone advances to level 12.

Randall:

Randall was planning to get lots of high value coins, gems, and jewelry to donate to the people of Laurentis.  There is plenty of room in his Bag of Holding.  He did get the one magic item, but has not been given the second DM-selected one yet.

(Bag of Holding can hold 500 lbs and currently has 44 lbs of equipment in it, so significant coinage/gems/jewelry will fit).

(ooc: I remember saying I would select the other very rare magic item but now feel like letting you guys pick both, it would only save the time I would of wasted trying to guess what you really wanted anyway.)

(So yeah, go ahead and select a 2nd very rare magic item to go with the first.)

Zenodor digs around for a bit longer and underneath a pile of discarded pieces, he finds a marvelous shield. (A very rare Shield+3; useful to avoid (nearly) getting killed again)

Randall:

After delivering the coffer to the Battleforce Angel, the celestial thanks him sincerely, the whispers a word of power in his ear.  “Leviosa?” repeats Randall, confused…

An enormous mound of gold, platinum and gems starts rising from the floor—well over a thousand pounds worth—and slowly floats over to Randall.  Seeing the ornate carpet that responded to his command word supporting the massive treasure, Randall smiles and bows, saying, “This will do much to alleviate the suffering in Laurentis.  Thank you.”

Tempe digs thru the coin finding 200 platinum and a short sword, a blade that seamed to be forged with fire inside. Looking at it, he seems happy inside.

Petcan looks through the piles and piles of treasure, picking things up and putting them down until he comes to a rapier with a baskethilt of extraordinary quality. Steel and bone, with an opalescent sheen. He sheathes it on his hip. 

As everyone gathered what they want, and they left behind even more, Pepin moves out with the rest, while walking through the tunnel he sees something laying at the side.

"I knew it, but this must mean someone else took the others pieces from this place." as he picks up another intricate item that fits well with what he already found. If the angel is still around he asks if they know about others that where here.

The sun is more than half way to setting and it might be a good idea to consider where you're going to spend the night.

As you all emerge from the tunnel, blinking and letting your eyes readjust to the brightness of full daylight again, it seems eerily quiet in this area.

Petcan is cautious as they emerge... Afterall, the trolls that had tunneled down must have come from somewhere, at the behest of someone... 

Perception 12 

Most of the small animals (squirrels and such) and little birds have fled. In fact that is why it's so silent, you guys are the only living things around, perhaps for miles.

Randall:

"This quiet is...unsettling.  There must be a dangerous creature nearby to run off all life in so large an area," says Randall, looking around carefully.

Perception:  27
