Northlands Campaign

(Just one chest seems shallow.)

Wil:  Poking around the bottom you dislodge a section of panel and find a hidden compartment containing 3 daggers.  Their design is like nothing you have ever seen before.

Wil shows the daggers to the others, "Any of you ever seen anything like these before?"

Wil: 

((Are they the same blades Kina saw the cultists use?))

They are definitely not the same as the cultists used.  Anyone looking at them can make a history check with Disadvantage.

History: 16

Kina's History: 7

Wil:  You know they are old.  VERY old.  Just by the weight, heft and balance you realize the technology to create these blades does not exist today.
        (OOC:  Like an ancient samurai blade in the real world today.)

History 17

Barnabus tskes a gander even though history really wasn't really his speciality.

Kina:  You see the blades are very well crafted, and unlike anything you have ever seen before.  While most daggers have simple straight narrow blades, these are wavy, almost like they are made of fluid, but in fact they are rigid and extremely sharp.

Barnabus:  History may have not been your forte, but a lifelong love of weapons pays off.  You agree with Wil that these are old, ancient old, and while you cannot put a name to it, you can tell these would be very effective light weapons.

Wil tests one of the daggers out on a piece of the rope that bound the prisoners' hands.

Slices through it effortlessly.

Wil swaps the dagger in his belt for one of the new ones and hands one of the remaining two to Bart, "You might like this." He then turns to Kina, "Do you use edged weapons at all?"

OOC: I'm going to get possessed aren't I......

(OOC:  Possessive, probably, possessed, nope.  The blades are 3 ancient kris, but unlike newer kris, they are balanced to throw.  Also, +1 to hit due to sharpness, 1d6 slashing or piercing damage on a hit, no plus on damage, and while non-magical in nature, they strike as if they are magical.  i.e. if something is resistant or immune to non-magical weapons, these are still effective, but do not radiate magic.  If researched in a dwarven or capital city you can find out they date back to the civilization that was destroyed in the Lost Lands north of the Greymere Moor.  Value to a normal merchant, 15gp each.  Value to a specialized collector .... ???)

Kina shakes her head.
"I have the training... I would prefer not to." she states.
"My teachings instruct me to try to subdue enemies whenever possible, cause as little suffering as I can. I don't much like the idea of plunging a blade into living flesh over and over until it stops moving." she says, shuddering a little at the thought.
"If you want a place to store it though, I have plenty of room left."

"Aye, some fine blades." Barnabus agrees. "Lets see what else is around." 

Barnabus leaves the northern hidden room and goes to search the south eastern hall. He heads for the room across from the cells. 

Perception: 17

Cade trundles along towards the next door they are going to try.

“I can carry it easily enough, I just wasn’t sure if you would have a use for it.” Wil stows the third Kris in his pack and follows Barnabus.

Barnabus:  The southeast area shows no signs of reason activity, but is littered with debris.  Poking around reveals this was obviously a torture chamber at some point in the distant past.
