Dragon quickstep

[Corwin]

Dragon's Grace: Shortsword+7. This blade seeks out the weak spots of it's victims, increasing it's wielders sneak attack damage by 2d6. In addition it functions as a staff of fiery power with 50 charges and without it's retributive strike.

This time another longspear comes. This one is made of black wood with a serrated steel tip. It looks slightly indistinct, as if out of phase.

"Here, this is an unnamed weapon, but I'm partial to the name Ghost Spear." He explains, "But you can name it whatever you want. It was found in the lair of a mad wizard who tampered with time before it became forbidden. It's not that forbidden magic so it's entirely safe to trade for. He wasn't the type to fight undead from what I gathered, so I'm not entirely sure why he made it or if there's a deeper magic locked away."

Ghost Spear: This is a longspear+8, ghost touch, undead bane and wounding. It has a critical hit range of 19-20 and deals triple damage on a critical hit. When in the names of a character that can channel positive energy (as the cleric class feature for good aligned clerics), the cleric can replenish daily uses of channel energy by defeating incorporeal creatures. Each incorporeal creature restores one daily use that's been expended, to a maximum of five daily uses recovered. Additionally, the wielder's damage for channel energy rises by 2d6 and the DC rises by 3.

"A priestly weapon," Seira agrees, waiting to see what Ranbar says. Aside from the prestige, it's actually a fair offer, so the real question here is whether she wants to focus her attention on the undead. Not a bad call, given the Cauldron's focus as a group, and Seira's own.

[Anastasia]

Ranbar takes it and is silent, several practice swings and parries.

'I like it,' Ranbar sends to you, 'It is a heroic weapon. Do you have any objection or concerns?'

[Corwin]

"Sounds good," Seira agrees to the deal. "Resonates with Ranbar, too, which is the most important."

With Ranbar happy, they can return to their original goal of getting their information about Imix's realm!

[Anastasia]

The weapons are traded and then, "So it's all settled? What details do you need?"

[Corwin]

"I want all the details you have on Rr'cracum," Seira says, divine will ensuring they have proper privacy. "Its architecture, a way to reach it swiftly and easily, any defenses it might have or ways to subvert its security. Any trophies of note I can find there that would push Imix's buttons, as well as any prisoners he might be holding in stasis."

[Anastasia]

"I can have that within a day," he says, "But know that Imix is free to make his own changes to it, and I do not doubt he has made some additions. However, the underlying defenses should still be there and be exploitable. It won't be that hard to get in."

[Corwin]

"My goal is getting in and luring him in, while ensuring he comes rather than send endless waves of minions," Seira reminds him.

[Anastasia]

"Well, then you can get in and do what you do," The giant allows, "I'll not gainsay a goddess's battle plan."

"Smart," Donald says easily, "Leave my job to me."

[Corwin]

"Excellent. In that case, Donald will return later for the information."

[Anastasia]

"It will be ready," Is the agreement.

Anything else to do here?

[Corwin]

No, just waiting for us to go hit Imix.

[Anastasia]

Okay, what's your party for that going to be and what sort of spell prep are you going to employ?

[Corwin]

Seira, Sanzha, Ranbar, Donald. We'll use the standard combat loudout from here.
