Team Alfa Thirty-Fifth Session: Difference between revisions

While dining the illusioned gnome who Gorra and Sid met in Southwatch joins them at the table. It is clear he has been casing the party for several weeks and is only now revealing himself. After brief banter, Thola casts ''dispel magic'' to attempt to remove his illusion, the gnome ''counterspells'' and Thola ''counterspells'' his ''counterspell'' removing his illusion. He is revealed to be very different than the one sitting here a moment before. His skin is grey and waxy, his hair long and black, pulled up into a bun. He has no beard or other facial hair and looks at you with inky black eyes. Sid can identify him as another [[Breaker Gnome]]. He does not seem overly concerned with being revealed and proceeds to offer to buy their mithril for 750gp per ingot. He leaves the group after making the offer, dropping a small object in Sid's drink. It is actually several objects: five small shards of blackened, twisted, and ruined metal that - once upon a time - might have fit together in a small, delicate sculpture. Further examination hints that this metal "was once" mithril, but is no longer. The arcane minded in the group quickly realize that no external magical force like elemental, force, or radiant damage could cause this effect, and the two most likely explanations are (a) it was exhausted as part of a magical ritual or else (b) it was exhausted by being used as a vector for a one-off magical item.
