Re: Art list 2

Ok, changes made. I'll resend it for anyone too lazy to make said changes
themselves. I left out the last few items because I have no idea how to
respond to said issues. That and I'd really like to make 00 something
special but can't think of what to do with it.....

1. A leather backpack with a tooled design of the logo of the IEN. Many many
many years ago carried equipment for Elven Troops. (700 GP value, because
its REALLY hard to find)

>From Jaime Lopez

2 In the depths of many water world there is a special wine, called N'jarer,
made by Sea elves, the taste is often incomparable and the only way to
describe it is to say that it like tasting fall.
The containers that they are placed in are worth 50gp as they are made with
a special blend of sea floor sand and seaweed extract for colouring. the
wine itself is worth from 60-170gp depending of the quality.
Many Sea Elven communities use N'jarer as their major export. Most Sea Elves
take magic items in trade for the wine, when dealing with traders the Elves
usually give one merchant exclusive rights to their wine. The wine is made
from a special blend of sea plants and extracts.
from Night Druid

3. A pair of pearl earrings, shaped like the Spelljammer. The eyes of the
spelljammers are tiny sapphires, and the buildings on the back of the
spelljammers are made of delicate gold. (1000 gp value).

4. A medium shield of shining metal, with an engraving of an elvish
Man-O-War. The shield is trimmed with gold, and the straps in back are made
of heavy scavvar leather. The shield is made of mithril, and was once owned
by an elvish admiral of the Fleet. (3000 gp value).

5. A leather-hide book with yellowed parchment pages. The book is written in
an old, now extinct, dialect of orcish. It is an orcish account of the First
Unhuman War, but is filled with inaccuracies and propaganda. It only has
value as a historical volume. (250 gp value).

6. A weathered metal scroll tube containing construction plans to a
hammership. The plans are complete, and can be sold to those ship building
guilds that don't have plans to building hammerships (or to those that do
and want to keep those secrets from their rivals). (750 gp value).

7. A silk privacy screen from Shou Lung, depicting several scenes of an
eloquent dragonship in flight. There are three individual panels, all
connected, each standing 6' tall. The first scene is of the Emperor of Shou
Lung blessing the launch of the ship. The second scene is the ship orbiting
a beautiful water world (Karpi). The final scene is of the dragonship
entering the fiery flow. The framework is made of polished teak wood, and is
very sturdy. Miniature dragons, birds, and nature scenes have all been
carved into the frame. (Value: 2500 gp because of the expert craftsmanship).

8. A sack of 35 gold coins minted with the profile of the last Emperor of
the Suel Empire. The coins were a limited minting before the empire was
destroyed a thousand years ago, and are quite rare. Each coin commands 2 gp
on the market (the coin is larger than normal), but collectors will pay up
to 25 gp per coin. (Total value: 875 gp to collectors, 70 gp to merchants).

9. A purple marble statuette, 6" tall, of an illithid. The illithid holds a
tiny, ivory skull in its upheld hand as if displaying it. The eyes are tiny
moonstones, and the illithid holds a golden staff in its other hand. The
statue is actually acts a receptacle for psionics, able to hold up to 10
psps. Illithids often will have a number of these around their dwelling as a
cheap and fast means of getting psps if their homes are invaded. (Value:
1400 gp for the rare materials used in construction; Illithids will pay as
much as 2200 gp).

10. A fine ballroom dress, very colourful and eloquent. Its flowing patterns
depict the founding of the noble elvish house that the lady who commissioned
the dress is a member of. Sized for a small, fairly short human or a
voluptuous elf maiden. Sages will pay in excess of 3,400 gp for it for it's
historic value, while the elf house Leafbower will pay almost 4,000 gp.

11. A well-crafted spyglass plainly made but the lenses are of exceptional
quality. The spyglass has almost twice the magnification power of normal
spyglasses and thus highly sought after by spelljamming captains. A captain
may pay as much as 1000 gp for this spyglass.

12. A tapestry of the Spelljammer itself in flight. The image is a bit worn
but the towers and scale of the great craft are accurate. The normal value
of this tapestry is only 300 gp, but those hunting the ship might pay as
much as 1200 gp.

13. A map to a dwarvish citadel elsewhere in the sphere. The map claims that
the citadel is abandoned and that the dwarves stashed a treasure of some
kind in the citadel. The citadel is marked with the symbol of the spider.
The citadel does exist but is overrun by a nest of giant wasps and several
phase spiders that feed on the wasps. The total value of the treasure is
3000 gp.

14. A finely crafted death mask worn by a priest of Ptah whose tomb was
looted long ago. The mask show's the priest's face in great detail and is
trimmed with gold and even a few lesser value gemstones. Priests of Ptah
will pay up to 2,000 gp to get the mask back, and will harass the owner
until they get it back.

15. A bag of small figurines, carved from the teeth of a scavvar. These were
carved by bored sailors on long voyages and are common in wildspace. Each
statue has a value of 5 to 10 gp, depending on the quality, and each find
has 2d6 statues.

16. A log from an early spelljamming captain. It dates back to some of the
earliest voyages of humans in wildspace. The ship operated out of a
long-destroyed culture in Greyspace and goes into great detail about the
many hazards of the space between stars. Many of the descriptions are wildly
exaggerated and greatly inaccurate. A sage might pay 500 gp for its historic
value.

17. An armband in the shape of a radiant dragon. Crafted from silver, the
armband will fit any creature larger than a halfling and smaller than an
ogre. The dragon's "head" is oriented towards the wearer's fist and wraps
around the arm six times. The wings are copper weave about the top of the
forearm. (75 gp value).

18. A dracon horn ring, often worn by the dragon-centaurs as a sign of
status. The ring is gold and carved with the dracon's immediate lineage in
tiny runes. Many older dracons will have several of these rings, proudly
proclaiming their ancient heirs and ancestors. (10 gp value).

19. A jade statue of a dwarvish warrior, battle-axe and shield in hand. The
statue was a funeral piece for a local dwarvish lord. It is small, only 5"
tall, and carries a value of 150 gp.

20. A fine golden necklace with a tiny silver elvish Man-o-War at one end.
The charm was part of the finery of an elvish noble woman but lost to
pirates. (200 gp value).

21. A starwheel pistol in the shape of a golden dragon. From the now-fallen
Ching- tu Empire, this weapon is of average quality and not noteworthy
except for its decorations. A gun collector might pay 1200 gp for this
fairly rare weapon.

22. A short sword with strange runes carved on its blade. The runes are
actually a flow map for four crystal spheres. The map is still fairly
accurate and usable. The blade otherwise is ordinary (25 gp value).

23. A flowing black cloak with brilliant blue patterns on its outside edge.
The cloak is really a map to Bralspace, cleverly disguised a fine but
ordinary cloak. The map is dated, showing Spiral as still a major elvish
trade hub and the Rock of Bral as a pirate stronghold. (50 gp value).

24. A goblin war crown from the centuries before the Unhuman Wars. The crown
is pierced by five horns and made from copper, but otherwise plain. Small
holes were once filled with gems, but were long ago stolen. (90 gp value).

25. A bottle of hot spices, from another sphere. The spice is unknown in the
current sphere and thus could be valuable to a rich noble looking for a new
and unique taste. (800 gp value).

26. A well-made spear, trimmed with gold and carved with images of meteors
and stars. This is a ceremonial weapon for Priests of Celestian but can be
used in combat if needed (which ruins it's artistic value). Can fetch up to
200 gp.

27. Dwarvish gauntlets with small sacks sewed into them. The small sacks are
used to carry coins in a place safe from pickpockets. Dwarves will usually
carry an emergency stash of 2d12 gold coins in these gauntlets in case of
thief or ruin, but otherwise won't touch these coins. (5 gp value).

>From Andrew Stott

28. A small 6" tall obsidian paperweight carved to resemble a happy giff
holding his new prized 2" long starwheel of solid platinum. Giff will be
willing to buy the paperweight as a good luck charm for up to 500gp, to
others 300gp.

29. A 4' x 2' x 2' oak chest, carved from a single piece of wood. The hinges
and lock are concealed within the wood to make it appear as if was just a
short log with fine engravings around the barrel depicting various standard
spelljammer ships in battle. The lock is a master's work, and subtracts -15%
from attempts to pick it. On the topside in a worn state of repair is a
flame red leather cushion. In the base are four holes so it can be secured
to the deck. (650 gp).

>From Paul Westermeyer

30. A 3-d model of Greyspace made from silver, gold, and resting on a bronze
stand. The base is engraved with the words: "In The Hands of Istus All
Rests", what is fascinating about the model is that the planet Borka is
depicted whole, indicating the model is quite old. Collectors and some sages
will be willing to purchase this model for up to 4,000 gp.

>From George "Loki" Williams

> 57. Carved Sephardin teeth, capped with gold and precious stones

That should be spelt "Sarphardin", if it refers to the creature (also known
as a Watcher)
from Lost Ships (SJR1). (I think maybe you let your spellchecker adjust this
spelling as
mine tried to change the spelling to one almost identical to the one in your
email.)

That should be spelt "Ptah".

Is that supposed to be psionics? If it is then I suggest that you use the
description of
PHPs from entry number 9 to generate an entry for this. Perhaps something
like:

88. A small diamond naturally formed into the shape of an egg. (The diamond
actually acts
a receptacle for psionics, able to hold up to 15 PSPs. Anyone with psionic
powers can use
the diamond as a means of getting additional PSPs if they are attacked.
(Value: 5000 gp
to a gem collector; Illithids will pay as much as 8000 gp).

> 91. A Masterwork Rapier skilfully shaped into an eelship. It works quite
> well, but will quickly become damaged if used in combat. (500gp, however
if
> ever used n combat subtract 1gp for each point of damage dealt with it,
10gp
> for each critical failure [1 rolled])

Shouldn't that be "...if ever used *in* combat..."?

I thought you said that you spellchecked this list??? The word "n" should
show up as a
spelling error when you spellchecked your email. You better check your
custom dictionary
in case you have accidentally "added it" as a new word, in the past.

> 00. Reroll and double or halve value (50% chance of each)

Great idea, but the items that don't have values will need to have values
added to them if
you want to use this. Are the original authors of the unpriced items
available to add a
price? If not, is there someone else who is good at pricing things?

By the way are you just doubling or halving the value of the *second* item
or does the
value result apply to the *first* item as well?
