"I'm the one who told the captain about the call to the crow's nest -- I saw Neville dial the number from the lounge. So that checks out. But how do we know you didn't just move the bomb down here? Will, let me check the overlook quickly to verify his story. You keep Mr... Lars, was it? -- unde...

"Okay, mac," says Artie to Lars, peering over Will's shoulder. "Just stay calm and everything'll be alright. The captain should be on his way down here but we don't have time to wait for him. Now, what were you doing on the aft overlook at this godawful hour? Just the facts. And quick...

With Uldyneas' low CON and hp, I guess I'll opt for healing potion(s) as magical items. They have the added bonus of being useful to other party members as well. What can he get for, say, 500 gp?

Through the doorway, Will and Artie found the entryway and aft passage vacant. "I know what's beyond that door," whispers Artie to Will, recalling his earlier encounter with Mansel on the aft overlook. "There's a kind of open-air balcony with a railing. It won't take but a moment to ...

Awkward moment coming up...

Will & Artie: Who are you and why do you have a bomb in your hands?
Simon: Uhhh.... it's like this, ya see....

The late hour, the long day, and the scotch all began to tell on Artie; and Will seemed somewhat affected also. Artie stifled a yawn. "Well, buddy, I guess we'll find out more when, or if, that Brandon fellow talks. But I don't know whether Pelton will share any of that with the likes of us......

Artie sits in silent amazement as Will rattles off his list of psychological observations. All Artie had noticed was that Cesar was a bit of a bon vivant who was making a transparent play for Lily and that there were some decent tippers among the passengers, though he wasn't sure exactly who they we...

When Artie finally gets a glass of Scotch and Will in the same room, he shoves the bulky typescript of The Hobbit aside from his bed ("Some crazy story about a hobo who lives in a hole in the ground," he explain to Will, "written by -- get this! -- a prof at Oxford!") and settles...

So Uldyneas has over 500 gp left over from his basic gear purchases: as these coins are quite heavy (even as platinum pieces), would it be ok to convert them into gems and/or jewelry? Any guidelines on that?

Also, Ros, you were saying something about magic items... for purchase?
