Surraruthru and spellhoarding (Surraruthru)

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru growls low, suspecting it to be 27s way of jabbing back for his thoughts, but continues on to the library to do his research.

Next move?

[Iron Dragoon]

vault research, then on the new buffing arch or whatever the upgrade was being used with my Tapestry, then back to Spellhoarding to see if I can rip the parts of it out that I want.

[Anastasia]

Okay, brief me on what precisely you're researching here.

[Iron Dragoon]

I mentioned a looooong time ago that I wanted to reinforce the lair's security and start building it into a grove, and you mentioned living vaults. I also mentioned that I'd like to find something from Lifasa to use as the heart of the grove and maybe tie it into the living vault so that the grove can protect itself and the lair. I liked the idea, and would like to research that.

After that, if the upgrade's been done, I'd like to experiment and see if I can't attach the Tapestry to it.

As far as Spellhoarding, I want to focus more on the Spellcatching and scribing spells into the scales thing.

[Anastasia]

Just trying to find out about living vaults in general?

[Iron Dragoon]

As a start point, yeah. I personally don't know much about them beyond that bit you posted once.

[Anastasia]

Link me to that or paste it and then make an K:A roll. Library bonus is included.

Okay, OOC comments first. As you can see, I didn't get far on that. This happens sometimes on the DM board. I start a project and it sputters out for whatever reason. Maybe I feel it isn't working out and scrap it, maybe it's a rewrite of something and I don't feel it has sufficient pop for my tastes or I just hit design block. These things happen and the living vault ran into that. Sometimes I go back to them later and they work out better.

So the upside is this: Some mechanical details may change from now and whenever I finish them. Chalk up any differences to that.

Living Vaults are in many ways the best way to store treasure. They are great constructs who have a massive extra dimensional space within, one that can be expanded (for a price) as the owner sees fit. They can benefit from treasures within, for instance gaining added defense if you put a ring of protection within one. They can also imprison living creatures, but if this fails, they have mediocre offense, as they are fundamentally defensive creatures.

Making one requires a lot of money and golemcraft skills. Afina could likely do it, of course, but it would be expensive. It also depends on how big an extradimensional space you want within there, but that can be upgraded later if you need more space.

Feel free to ask questions for more details, I'll generally provide them. Easier to do this back and forth.

[Iron Dragoon]

General idea of price? At the moment I'm looking to just have it use the same space as the lair's room, nothing bigger.

[Anastasia]

Price reports vary, though the absolute lowest you see is over 200k gold. Due to the nature of being able to customize the extra dimensional space, prices do vary.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru makes a note of it and to talk to Afina about it, but shelves it for now, moving onto the next thing on his list to research.

Is the upgrade done yet? If not, there's still Spellhoarding/Spellcatching to try and extract.

[Anastasia]

The upgrade is done.

[Iron Dragoon]

Then I'll research connectiong it to my tapestry.
