[pnpgm] Party leaves

[Alex Koponen]

Z'leyra replies "Some items we can get the material for and can create 
the items while on board ship. However to create metal items such as 
swords or chainmail would require not only an anvil but a heat source 
unavailable on board ship - unless you wish to make it obvious to the 
crew that we are using magic. Few weapons we would find useful against 
the Vong don't require heat in their creation. Presuming that we get 
enough hides we can make leather armor and helms for all, these 
enchantable to be equal to ordinary chainmail. We can also make shields 
to be later enchanted. Otherwise our options of what to make are 
limited. Slings and clubs being the only weapons I can think of offhand 
that won't need a forge for part of their production. If we come into 
possession of appropriate wolf eyes or other potentially magic materials 
we can enhance or enchant those as well."

"Actually, on second thought...given good lumber of the appropriate type 
I could make what look like wooden practice weapons of various 
types..then enchant them later. We probably want a number of actual 
practice weapons that we can bang up and have the enchantable ones kept 
as 'spares'. Even enchanted they likely won't cut or impale like metal 
weapons would...but their impact could break bones and and cause massive 
internal bleeding. And they (plus the shields and leather armor) could 
be quickly destroyed by fire after the Vong are dealt with. Please list 
what enchantable wooden weapons you would need when we face the Vong. If 
we have samples of the Vong and their shell armer I could even dedicate 
the weapons against them."

"If the party could be supplied with an enhanceable hyacinthus we may be 
able to clear the next lake used by the Vong of their taint."

Z'leyra will, with Raban's permission cast Orient Self EL0 then cast 
Detection (magic) ELmax thru staff on him quickly followed by Soul Sight 
ELmax thru staff in an effort to see what magic he has hidden and if she 
can spot it.

To the request by Strie'bog she responds "Certainly. Let me know when."

Z'leyra will talk with the appropriate people to get the hides, lumber, 
practice weapons and tools delivered to the ship. She will pay what is 
needed.

She ponders whether to leave all her magic behind with Corona or to 
attempt to hide them via Corona carrying an Oblivion item. Leaving items 
behind would mean she would not be able to enchant near as much before 
fighting the Vong. She also wants to loan her necklace to help folk 
understand each other. She tends towards taking the items and 
Corona...but waits to see if the words are spoken which change her mind.
