[ic]Aldabrat quietly draws both pistols, beautifully engraved with dwarven runes and a glittering gemstone each, and holds them out for inspection.[/ic]

Captain Obvious

[ic]As he finishes off the searing hot pork, Ilio notices the firearms in Aldabrat's hands. "Now those are fine peices of work. I'm guessing gnonish bases, with a little bit of customization. The decorative elements are definitely a dwarven touch. Am I right? Mind if I have a closer look at one of them?"[/ic]

[ic=Aldabrat]He grins, and nods. "You would be right there. Original gnomish design, but built by a dwarf - you can tell by the ridged barrel, and by the gems, no?"

He holds them out to Ilio.

[ic]"Beautiful things, these pistols." Jelma'c watches the various exchanges from his seat, "And here I thought they were somewhat rare."[/ic]

[ic]Taking the pistols from the dwarf, Ilio places one down in his lap, then holding the other by the barrel, flips it up into the air and catches it by the handle. He rapidly moves his arm to aim at various nearby targets, occasionally spinning it around his finger between. "Y'know, these are a lot lighter than i wouldn've guessed from looking at them,although I guess that's what you'd expect from gnome design," he exclaims as he hoists the second pistol in his other hand. He then spins them both around to present them back to Aldabrat handle first, "They're beutiful peices of work. What do the runes say? I was thinking that one on the side was something to do with sight or seeing, but I've never really gotten the hang of runes."[/ic]

[ic=Aldabrat]He takes the pistols back. "They read: Fiery Death." He grins slightly. "They are made in a somewhat odd fashion... I am not sure how it is done, but these little holes on the end here produce flaming sparks when the weapon is fired. Probably wasted powder, but it can be useful to impress fools and younglings..."[/ic]

Captain Obvious

[ic]"Fiery death, huh? Wow, I was way off. My rune reading skillz could use quite a bit of work. Just never seem to have the time."
Ilio finishes cleaning and reloading the pistol he was working on, and reaches his hand out towards Aldabrat as he holsters the pistol.
"Could you pass me the other one back. I want to make sure they're in good working order for tommorow."[/ic]

[ic=Aldabrat]The dwarf tosses it across.

"Care for a... shooting match?"[/ic]

Captain Obvious

[ic]Hostering the second pistol, Ilio replies, "well, it could help to pass the time. Officers may object to having pistols being fired off, though. Besides we should let those as wish it get some rest. I notice you too carry a rapier."
At this Ilio leaps nimbly to his feet and onto a nearby log, drawing his blade and striking a rediculous pose in one fluid motion. "Are you any good with it?" he asks with a wry grin.[/ic]

[ic=Aldabrat] He does similarly, striking an oddly graceful pose on the opposite end of the log and drawing his own rapier.

"I can hold my own."

He grins. [/ic]

[ic Archer]Smirking, Archer snorts at Aldabrat's comment. "You'd best watch out, dwarf. I hear nobody can match a halfling in a battle of reflex."[/ic]

[ooc]Y'all are in such a rush.  At least my character sheet is pretty, unlike some other rushers around here.[/ooc]
[ic=Cruvagn]Cruvagn leans back, his gauntleted hands behind him and propping him up.  His helmet, his two longknives, his trident, his bow, and his flail all sit to his right, within arms reach.  His bedroll, shield, and backpack are to his left, meticulously laid out.  His helmet is in his lap, which he is cleaning with a slightly moist rag.  His armor is still mostly on, not having removed it for the night yet.  He watches the two, the halfling and the dwarf, jumping up for a duel.  I hope they know what they're doing, he thought.  "Be careful you two."[/ic]

[ooc]Wow! Watch out boys, we've got a hero in out midst! One quick question: how does detect alignment work with these rules?

Oh and nice character, Jharviss.[/ooc]

Quote from: Raelifin[ooc]Wow! Watch out boys, we've got a hero in out midst! One quick question: how does detect alignment work with these rules?

Oh and nice character, Jharviss.[/ooc]
Seeing as alignments work differently, there are actually two varieties of Detect spells and effects.  Paladins get Detect Opposing Religion, which reveals if an enemy is Pagan or Heretic.  It does not specify what brand of Druidism (Sylvaese, Iluvinese, T'kel, etc,--Though that may be easy to determine) nor will it reveal the Demon a Heretic worships.  Those are the domains of more powerful divinations.
The other kind, which I do not believe is relevent at present is a spell derived from astrology detecting the Astrological signs of targets.  This could be useful for manipulating them via their moon sign.

[ooc]Awesome, I was wondering that too.  But now I can find heretics and pagans!  I love to kill pagans and heretics!  Woot!  So, where were we?[/ooc]
