Dieter is also not adverse to rest, it's been one of "those" days.

Dieter examines the Staff, Wand, and scrolls.

The scrolls are all spell scrolls, two are magic user scrolls, two are clerical.
Scroll 1 (M): Magic Mouth, Shatter, Dispel Magic
Scroll 2 (M): Astral Projection
Scroll 3 (C): Neutralize Poison, Exorcise
Scroll 4 (C): Holy Word

The staff is of petrified wood studded with tiny gemlike knobs, ten (10) of which glow with an eerie light, and topped with a crystal with a spinning colorful shape in it. The staff is a Staff of the Magi, one of the most powerful artifacts Dieter has ever seen.

The colorful shape in the the crystal head of the staff:

The wand is striped in many colors, with ribbons running from its tip. Dieter cannot fathom its use but it does seem to have a Word of Power inscribed on it: undursamlegur. Apparently it will have to be used for its function to be divined.

Image

He hands the rod to Dandy, who immediately identifies it as a Rod of Resurrection. It has a handy loop to affix to his belt.

With some experimentation, it seems the advanced bag of holding can hold all that Karl and Theo carried and more, although only coins, gems and jewelry. It cannot seem to hold armor, weapons, or other artifacts.

Furuk finds nothing more than what was already found: no coins, gems, jewelry, or anything of value. He examines the weapons.

The sword is of a silvery curved blade. Some testing shows that it is a Scimitar of Vorpal Slicing (+3 to hit/damage, chance to decapitate).

The star-shaped dagger thing is a curiosity. It has a word on it, "Glaive", although it is obviously not a pole arm. It, like the wand, requires more examination.
Image

The party gathers themselves together and rests. Spells replenished and bodies feel even more healed than usual. In fact, you haven't felt this good in quite some time! Dieter's eyes is still not there though.

Spellcasters choose your spells.

Actions?

Dieter - Mage

I'll be damned! He will way as he looks at the staff. His only eye will twinkle. I've only read bits and pieces about magic like this... it's similar to some of the weapons we've come upon of late. This will bear some examination... Sitting down he will pull out his skin o'water, have a sip and clean his eye socket the best he can. Tearing a bit of leather from something he will fashion a make shift patch for his socket.

While eating some rations with the group: I think our next move should be to visit the thing in the other room, other than my eye, it may know how we get out of here. Thoughts?

Before getting into his studies and some rest Dieter will take a look at the Astral Projection scroll. Without activating it he tries to understand if it can get them off the plane they are currently on and back home.

He'll study up on Magic Missile, Sleep, Continual Light, Stinking Cloud, Fireball and Hold person.

Grimes - Fighter

At Dieter's suggestion of going back to visit Eye-man, Grimes smiles and says "Yeah, let's go see ol' eyeball. I'm gonna gouge out every one of them eyes till Dieter gets his back. Stupid eye thing..."

Grimes will take all the loot Theo and Karl had been carrying and put it in the sack. If no one wants to carry the sack for now, he'll carry it, but only till we get out.

Dieter tries to recall what he can of Astral Projection. If he recalls correctly, his body would remain on this plane while his spirit would go to the Astral Plane. If this Plane is the Astral Plane, and he cannot be sure this limbo is or isn't, then maybe his essence would just remain in this body. Regardless, it doesn't seem like a formula for escaping here.

Once I hear from more players, I will advance action and you can see ol' purple potato. :)

Castinus holds Shae for a moment, then releases her. He makes his way over to where Dieter's examining the staff. "I'm with Grimes. Let's get your eye back," he says.

OC: What kind of testing is required to determine that a scimitar is of the vorpal variety?

Furuk - Fighter

Furuk agrees with the suggestion to visit the eye creature again.

He admires the Scimitar of Vorpal Slicing and adds it as his main weapon.

Dandy, Dwarf Cleric

Dandy, his head finally clear, studies the Rod before affixing to his belt.

"Do'na know 'ow many times we can use it, but it just might come in handy the way things have been going..." Dandy mutters.

He examines the clerical scrolls before putting them in his pack.
