Scroll of Telescription
The party was gifted one from Lars & Ursa to assist in their magic-crafting endeavors.
These scrolls come in pairs, and are blank (unless a message has yet to be read). While you hold one scroll, you can use an action to cast the sending spell from it. The target is the bearer of the other scroll. If no creature bears the other scroll the message will stay on the paper until it is read. It will then slowly vanish after 1 person reads it (aloud or in their head).
Once sending is cast through the scroll, they can't be used again until the next dawn. If one of the scrolls in a pair is destroyed, the other one becomes nonmagical.
To the Heroes of Outding, This is Ursa, Lars' assistant, and he asked that I send this letter to you. We heard you got to Wide Berth safely, and we were so glad to hear of it. We have been dutifully applying the Transportation Circle in your basement, and even though it gets expensive, we want you to know we are happy to do it. We have also gotten the Forge working and have been experimenting with all types of magical devices, which brings us to the main point of this correspondence. Attached with this letter are two things. A blank scroll and a little box. These are both magical and unique items. The box can be stretched out by grabbing two opposing sides and pulling. It goes from 1" to 1' in each direction. This Enderbox, that's what we are calling it, is actually synced to another Enderbox. Anything placed in one can be retrieved by another -- like a Bag of Holding but with a twist. We wanted to give this set to you so that we could work out a business arrangement with your party. We figured that since you were out doing some adventuring, you might come across some items and regents we could use for our magical crafting. We would be willing to pay for items you retrieve -- especially those we are in need of. Those we can tell you either with a note in the box or using the scrolls. The scrolls are similarly synced. It is called a Scroll of Telescription and allows short messages to be sent back and forth 1x a day. This is fine since we can use the boxes to then pass any other correspondence. The other box is in your basement; it is yours -- but we have access, so that can be helpful for this arrangement if you are willing to proceed. We have the other scroll so that you can reach us for anything. We can work out the full arrangements on this in an Enderbox correspondence -- but we thought we could also get you your reward for killing Jacoby, and we could get any notes or correspondence you found on him for our intel purposes. Let me know when you get this, and we can work out the details via letters in the box. -Ursa P.s. We weren't sure if we'd have this ready in time -- but since we need you to get regents for us, most come from various Beasts and monsters, and they are organic in nature. To accommodate this, we have created a "Bag of Colding" for you, which can come in handy for such expeditions. When they first use the Enderbox they find the Bag of Colding is inside, and Shadow takes it. As they discuss selling the Headband of Intellect -- they are interrupted by a person named Obaya Uday; she purchases magic items (pays based on their rarity) and spellbooks. She is a priestess of Waukeen, the god of trade. She seemed trustworthy and honest. She is very interested in spellbooks and seems to purchase items that adventurers find in the caverns. Bastion asked about the purpose of the spellbooks, and she says she works for a wizard seeking to purchase items and Books out of Wide Berth. Shadow asked for the name of the boss, but she wasn't very comfortable with sharing that knowledge a secret. She pays in Platinum and doesn't carry the money on her, usually. Bastion thinks about trying to make copies of his spellbook just to get some money but is reminded how very costly and time-consuming it is to make copies of his spellbook.
In the morning they write a letter and put it in the box. 1 Displacer Beast Tentacle Jacoby's Head (gentle repose) 3 Displacer Beast hides 1 Troll Heart Amulet Letter: In the box, you'll find Jacoby's Head so that we can get the reward. Also, Displacer Beast hides -- with the Forge we would like some items made -- whip Cloak. Also if you can craft regeneration Amulet with the heart. Thanks a lot. As they go downstairs, Sas hears Ursa's voice: "Was in the basement working on the circle. Saw stuff. Letter in box." Sas tells the others. The Letter says: Got the stuff. Will look into crafting those for you. Did Jacoby have any intel or things of value -- that would be appreciated. Looking forward to working with you on this.
"there is a Letter for you in the Enderbox" "Um, I sent a message yesterday. Haven't heard back. Letter is still in box." "I hope you guys are okay, haven't heard from you. By the way, don't put the Scroll in any extraplanar place" These ones were mental, as if a sending spell. In the box was a Letter from Ursa
"Need 2 100gp Diamonds" and he places 220 gp into the Enderbox . A few moments later: "Give me about an hour; I can probably find such Diamonds."
"Pradam is in danger. Crazy warlock named Bargle is looking for him. Keep him protected." Response: "The next time we see Pradam, we'll let him know. The gang is busy on a mission. Will let him know."
Attempted to use. Won't work due to being on another plane.
Using the Scroll of Telescription to send a message: "Jacoby's still alive, Are you all okay?" Response: "We had heard from Jeets about Jacoby, we're doing great."
Using the Scroll of Telescription to send a message: "Sending money for expenses, projects, material costs. Let us know if you need anything else."
"Sending money for expenses, projects, material costs. Let us know if you need anything else." Sent 855 cp, 10083 sp, and 1742 gp in the Enderbox as well.Brought up briefly in Session 45: Back to the Keep Report
Note to Lars: "How much for a studded leather +2?" response: I have what I need for that. It will be 8,000 gp.
Bastion writes a letter to Lars about creating a +2 studded Leather and about the jars... (rolls) -- He has what he needs to make a studded Leather 65,000 gp in 1,000 days. ... 15,000 gp in 10 weeks. gonna go with 50,000 in 15 weeks. concerning jars: "if you understand how these works and if they can be useful for you." "I can get that to you... as far as the jars, I would like to learn more. I will see you in 2 weeks so I would love to see them then."
