“Well, since Shelzar is a very long way away, does anyone know of a method of transport that can get us there as fast as possible?” Krusk asks to everyone.

(What did we find for treasure in this last place.  Can we split that up here?)

((Oh yeah...I put it in my inventory so that I wouldn't forget:

• Ring of Acid Resistance
• Rod of Rulership
• Scimitar of Wounding
• 103 gp worth of coins and gems
• Jade Skull with Ruby worth 450gp
• Jewel-hilted Silver Dagger worth 300gp))

Krusk, seeing the Scimitar of Wounding, takes a step back and looks frightened. He says, “I know this weapon. It is a weapon of pain and suffering. My father was killed by a weapon like this.” He then says in Orc, “May the spirit of my father, Sharlg, rest in piece forever.”

"If it's okay with the rest of the group, would you like to keep this weapon - in honor or memory of your father?" Hallanann asks.

“Yes, I would. Thank you very much,” Krusk says to Hallanann as he takes the sword.

"Good idea." Lia agrees nodding as the sword is taken.  "I have no real use for the ring or the rod."

"I could use the ring," Chikra says. "The rod I have no use for, either."

Hallanann hands the ring over to Chikra.

"Is there anything else that can be done here?" Chikra asks. "Discussion and planning -- if we can even do anything about a desert a lifetime away -- can be done somewhere without the risk of mutation."

Vor grins approvingly at Krusk's comment. "Oi thin' 't will roightly serve ye well, 'at blade.  Oi'll take the silver dagger if ye be foin wid 'at; an' Oi'll keep th' rod, jes in case it moight cum in 'andy later on." He shakes his head ruefully, "Oi'm not well unnerstanding th' whole o' our problems but, seems t' me wes be wantin' t' foil this 'ere magiker person at ev'ry oppotunity; so let's go spoil tha' piece o' titan meat, gives 'er indegistion, heh, heh."

Hallanann hands over the dagger.

(This is a pretty good place to end this adventure.  Please feel free to continue sorting out your inventories here, stopping the machine shut down the energy that was causing the mutations.)

 This weekend I will set up the next adventure (episode 4).  I plan on combining this party with another group I was DMing that finished episode 2.  The other group didn't play this adventure, (episode 3) so you might want to recap the highlights for them.  

OCC I cannot wait for episode 4, though I suppose I'll have to; twiddle right thumb; twiddle left thumb; kick the cat.

Sweet! Stoked to be moving forward. I'll get my character/XP sorted and join the new thread. 

Thanks!
