Blade of Endings

This sword appears as a sword shaped hole, a gap in Creation forged into a blade. If touched to a creature of any type, they are immediately destroyed. For creatures of less than 21 hit dice or levels, there is no saving throw. They are annihilated, body and soul. Creatures of 21 to 40 hit dice or levels are allowed a fortitude save (DC 40) to resist. Failure results in complete destruction as above, with success reducing the blade's damage to 40d6. Treat as a disintegration effect (though immunity to disintegration, spell resistance and other factors do not apply), secondary modifiers such as strength or other bonuses to damage do not apply. Creatures of 41 or more hit hit dice or levels take damage as if they successfully saved and are not at risk of being immediately slain by this weapon.

The Blade of Endings is excessively difficult to wield safely. All attack rolls with it are must be made with the greatest care, lest the wielder risk exposing himself to it. The proper care eliminates this risk but inflicts a -5 penalty to attack rolls. Alternately, this can be forsaken and the blade can be wielded fully. If so, a natural attack roll of a 1 results in the wielder accidentally touching the blade and suffering the effects of it.

On being grasped (assuming the wielder has the proper protections, otherwise they suffer as if struck by the Blade of Endings), the sword smoothly becomes the favored bladed weapon of the wielder. This requires no action and happens automatically. It changes to the proper size for a wielder; this has no impact on the effects of the Blade of Endings.

Contact with the Blade of Endings, even through protections, seems to provoke visions and place a currently unknown type of strain of the wielder's body.

The Blade of Endings seems to be beyond fate, or perhaps outside of it, due to being of something outside of Creation.

Gauntlets of Quilium

These small gauntlets are properly sized for a small creature, such as a pixie. They occupy the bracers/glove slot on the body. When worn, they allow the Blade of Endings to be used without immediate destruction.

Sheath of Quilium

This sheath is capable of holding the Blade of Endings.

Armor Remains

What are you doing with the rest of the armor? There's enough left to Fabricate it into a medium suit of armor, 4 sets of gauntlets (medium sized, you could make 2 large gauntlets, 8 small gauntlets or so forth) or something roughly equivalent to this.

[Corwin]

Like I was asking in #e, how about a cloak?

Valane: Jovar+2, holy. When carried by a paladin of lawful good alignment or any archon, this weapon deals triple damage on critical hits. 72,000 gold.
Dripper's Remorse: Rapier+1, keen. Grants a +4 insight bonus to dexterity, the benefits of the Weapon Finesse, Combat Expertise and Improved Combat Expertise feats and a +10 competence bonus to bluff, hide and move silently checks. However, any who hold or carry this blade are set into a deep melancholy, consumed with remorse for past violent deeds. They must make a special will save (DC 20 + 2 for each successful save) each time they deal damage. Failure indicates they are consumed with despair and lost in laments. Treat this as being dazed for one round, though normal immunity to being dazed does not prevent this. Creatures immune or protected from mind-affecting abilities are not affected by this despair, but they find Dripper's Remorse to function as a masterwork rapier with no special powers. 50,000 gold.

[Anastasia]

Morniel would like to request that if Valane is to be sold, that it be given and/or sold to Celestia. It is doubtless a holy weapon from the armories of the Glittering Heaven, and should be returned there if not to be put to use in righteous warfare.

[Ebiris]

394th planetoid loot is divided between Afina, Hanna, Drena, Muirfinn, Ithea, and Balyss after the usual half goes to Aurora. The Valane can be sold to Celestia through Morniel since we lack both archons and lawful good paladins.

Barring particular items being claimed by anyone, the monetary split works out as follows...

Total of 192,589gp.

Aurora gets 96,294.50 putting it at 438,840.04gp after being 346,545.54gp

The rest all get 16,049.08gp minus any particular item claims.

For herself, Afina claims the broken diamond, which she gives to Baleruk as a present knowing he can make it even prettier so it can nicely set off his hoard. Thus she gets 15,549.08gp.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+37
* Hatbot --> "Kotono rolls 1d20+37 and gets 55." [1d20=18]

Baleruk is pleased by this gift by his up and coming prismatic disciple.

[Anastasia]

The rest all get 16,049.08gp minus any particular item claims.

Hanna is interested in this.

Staff of Rejuvenation

This staff was commissioned by Hanna to aid in her duties of healing the brave warriors of Aurora.

Restoration (1 charge)
Heal (1 charge)
Fortunate Fate (2 charges)

Strong conjuration CL 15th; fortunate fate, heal, restoration; 20234.37 gold.

Unfortunately she's a little short. Would anyone like to contribute? Otherwise she'll save up and get this the next time she has the income for it.

[Ebiris]

Stuff that keeps people alive is of interest to Afina. She'll contribute however much is needed.

[Anastasia]

4185.29 is needed. Deduct that as normal. Hanna is grateful and thanks you.

[Ebiris]

Done.

[Anastasia]

The rest all get 16,049.08gp minus any particular item claims.

Drena has 16049.08+1333=17382.08 gold.

He'll sell his cloak of charisma+6 to end up with 53382.08, then plop 50k down on a belt of magnificence+6. 3382.08 gold left. He'll buy the heron necklace for 100 gold. 3282.08 gold left. He'll buy the white gold and walnut chessboard as a gift for Afina, for helping save him from Makan's entertainments. 2882.08 gold left. He'll buy the pearl and glass chessboard for Muirfinn for the same. 2482.08 gold left. He'll toss the rest in the Aurora fund.

[Yuthirin]

Not sure we, as the Good Guys, can sell those paintings. Most of the are pretty damn vile. Not sure about that vrock-feather cloak. Spores.

[Anastasia]

Up to you guys about that. Lemme pause in loot for a moment then.

[Ebiris]

Which paintings in particular? Decide that and I'll redo loot.

[Yuthirin]

Apology, Triumph Over Yourself, Relief, Demon's Offering, & Learned Helplessness. They all feel kinda squicky to me. Thoughts, anyone?
