Has Eldin returned to his seat.

Mazara, "Um, 2 gold... And it'll play E flat when you try E." Roondar says.

Grianne, Eldin has returned to his seat and the show has come to an end. The crowds file out of the tent cheerfully laughing and chatting as they return to their homes.

Mazara hands over the gold absent-mindedly as he studies the flute. "I will have to be very, very, VERY mindful of that. But a perfect instrument for a servant of Odin with something so inherint." He says in a somber tone. After a moment's pause, he laughs and kneels down to pat Roondar on the shoulder. "You have both my thanks, and that of the All-Father, my good gnome. May we meet again under similarly joyous occasion." 

He gasps. "Or better yet! Come see my next match in the arena! It'll not only be a show to remember, but I'll have a song just for you!" On that note, Mazara leaves with another cheerful laugh on his way to find a man (or Woman! ~.~) about scroll making material, meaning to set to work immediately.

(ooc: the hexblade curse ability isn't +2 to damage... it is +2 to the damage roll, so it should be (1d4+1, then +2 from the hexbalde's curse, which = 7 since you rerolled a 4)... that would make each missile do 7 damage (so long as they all go to the same target that is hexblade cursed) and 4 darts would mean 28 total damage.)

(This is true RAW, as you know. However, as with Empowered Evocation. I've ruled that in this campaign the effect will not apply to Magic Missile more than once per casting.)

(You are intended to roll damage for Magic Missile once, however I do allow players to roll darts individually for brevity, however with an ability like Empower Spell it is a good idea to roll it properly.)

((Thanks for being the DM, Persuasion!))

(Or if you use Quickened Spell you can cast it twice. And get the bonus twice in this campaign, or many more times in another campaign.)

(Before anyone says 'but Shield', I'll say, 'but Counterspell'.)

(It seems the designers knew MM could get too powerful, based on the number of features and such that grant immunity specifically to MM.)

(So the only way to keep from being one shot by a Sorcerer that can see you, is to be attuned to this specific item. So easy!

I'd say the designers knew how powerful Magic Missile is without specific features making it the highest single target damage spell in the game.)

Jk hold up

Marmaduke hunts down Og towards the end of the day to hand over his long awaited scroll. 

I should probably actually announce the next fight.

The next match for level-7 contestants has been posted. The match will begin in about 24 hours:

Rothander looks up at Ganathor "Lad mus admit I usually donta like tha long ears type flutey music but tha was pretty good. I'll cut ye a bit of a deal and sell you the the handaxes fer say 10 gold. Tha be buying two full price an gettn one on tha house."

After leaving the arena, Sha’nar Heads into town and buys the supplies to summon his familiar again, going straight back to his room to perform the ritual. He then walks back down to the Glory to look for any of his teammates or opponents (especially Nimbus or Runthiel) from the last match. 

(Just ran the math back, and I'm wondering now if Hammerstone secretly has the Tough Feat, or adamantine armor. o_O)

Og grunts in gratitude, and hands over another 10 gp tip.

"Gotta burn my money somewhere."

Marmaduke smirks. "I'm sure there's plenty of 'other' entertainments in town for just that sort of thing that would looove your patronage." She wiggles her brows, and pats him Og on the butt as she makes her way home.

 Raeebite's there, chasing toads and skewering them. He is now dressed in priest robes, and shouting things in celestial that make no sense even to those who speak it.

((Posting is likely to be significantly reduced over the next few days for some users, including myself. I'll try to get in at least one post tomorrow, though.))

In the night a gnome who resembles, a remarkable likeness to the gnome depicted on the prize tokens, only sporting a red coat and a thick white beard slips through your chambers, camps, chests, or packs and leaves behind a token.

In celebration of the changing seasons everyone receives a token which can be used to upgrade any piece of mundane equipment to a magical piece of Common Rarity.

Ogguimash will, of course, upgrade his helmet to a dread helm.

(I mean, how could I not?)
