I ask for a book on demonology, so that I may learn to either purify them, exorcise them, or just banish them. I'll then thank him for his help, agreeing to never bother him again, and leave the tower.
The old man looks you over. (Luck 4) "Hmm... Curious. Okay, fine. Here."
Ohh! Ohhh! Ohhhh! The dagger, I must have that dagger!
Ask for the dagger and a way to limit the power temporary so that I can wield it until I need to unleash all its energy. Politely.
Also, could it be that this is the rumored dagger of Arcanum Octet I?
You pose your question to the old mage, (Luck 6) who promptly bursts out laughing "Something to control it? HA! Haha! Oh, you are clueless aren't you? Hehehe... okay, okay, yeah, you can have it."
Moar ice knowledge, I guess.
You ask for a book of ice magic. (Luck 5) "Hmm... Typical scholar, are you? How boring. Here, you can have this old tome."
Awww.
Then I'll just ask for a Tome of Scholarly Magic (the kind I'm skilled at).
You ask for a tome of theoretical magic. (5) The wizard thinks for a moment before handing you an old tome. "Yeah, this has some interesting things in it. It's where I got the idea for- erm, nevermind. Anyway, take it."
I shall ask for a suit of armor that can slowly administer potions to the wearer, amplifying their effects and prolonging the usage, while also being armor.
If any of you can tame the dagger's power, I'll use the hadeshorn brew on it, it may be the only way we can defeat moloch.
You ask the old man if he has any MP-47/A Prototype Medic Power Armor (Luck 6) He stares at you, and when you explain what you want he seems genuinely baffled. "That... I've never even heard of such a thing. Are you addled? Ehh... maybe... here. This apparatus can manipulate the essence of various compounds and spells. Maybe you can figure out something to do with it."
True to your word, the group leaves the heads back the the refugee camp. When they arrive they are welcomed into the camp and given a chance to rest and relax. Three of the refugees, having heard of the group, want to fight the demons as well and ask if they can join up with them. Unfortunately I have no idea who these people are(except Tarran) because I was an idiot and forgot to save Dwarmin and Derm's characters when they posted them(Z. Chris has quit).
