After your near-deadly encounter with the fire giant, it takes you the rest of the day to get to Calling Horns, where you arrive just prior to sunset. ......

 

Quote from jr_el_leon >>

Ink examines the necklace to see if there is any writing or runes on it, or the mark of the smith who made it.

"Marav, when did you notice anything magical on the giant? I saw your eyes flare when looking at the troll - do I assumed you were doing some detecting."

After everything is put away, Ink will take a short rest, during which he remarks, "We still need to put that bloody ring in the cart, and I'm not burning a spell on it. I am still tired - I don't have the same access to the Weave that I do when I first wake up."

Quote from jr_el_leon >>

 In hushed tones to the others, "Mercenaries? Here? That feels odd."

Ink looks around to see how the citizens behave around the mercenaries ( Roll: 2, +0 if insight, +3 if perception )

Fine by me if we have to dwarf-handle it. We'll bring the cat as close as we can first.

Marav explains what he saw magic wise. He pulls up his hood and stands near the cart and Boris. Trying to blend in.

Stealth: 12

//Not trying to stealth so much as be unnoticed. Or at least look so boring as to not draw attention.

 The necklace weighs a cool 100 pounds, and in it are wrought Dethek runes that spell the word "Zaastrid." You aren't familiar with this word in jotun. 

// As far as the adamantine ring goes, let me know how you guys are handling it. You can manage it in several minutes if you all work together, with Flint being point. //

Quote from jr_el_leon >>

// Could Ink deduce as to whether the rune is describing a regular noun/verb describing an object/action versus a proper noun, based on his knowledge of Giantish grammar? (Int check 14) Or is it a case of that this is just a style of rune Ink has never seen? //

//In that case this will be the only time I try that lil' trick. (-1 on cha rolls. :) Don't like my odds.//

"I don't think the troll was beaten into servitude. We fought pretty hard and when it was clear I was going to probably best him he ran toward the giant instead of away. He had his chance and instead of taking it he went toward the giant. Unless of course there are more giants than we knew. Perhaps we should go to the inn and see what the news is. We need to find a place to deal with this ring first."

//Is their signs of a good sized blacksmith? Something enough to melt this ring down?//

Marav is aware that the troll ran away because there was an inexplicable sphere of fire foiling his attempts to get at the bear. Had the troll been aware that Marav was the one controlling the sphere, he would have stopped at nothing to tear the druid limb-from-limb.

//He could've certainly tried. :D//

short rest 23

 For the ring, during the short rest, Flint used Artisan's Blessing to create a block and tackle.  Will use that plus any crowbar we might have to work the ring onto the wagon.

//Sweet!  Thanks//

If the Calling Horns is on the way to where he are headed for Rip that's fine, but Flint's thinking where there are two enormous adamantine divining rods, there could be three.  Do we have any way to mask the ring from divination?

Ink replies, "Leomund's Hut prevents any magic from entering, but I don't know if we cast it on the cart, it'll move with the cart or not. It would be stationary in relation to the cart, but I don't know if the Weave follows the laws of relativity... But we could try."

“I’m sure if there’s anyone that can do it it’s you Ink.”

Angel says with all the confidence in the world and knowing next to nothing about magic or how it works.
