King Tut
Nice job with all the accounting references! I hope you weren't laying awake late at night, wracking your brain and sacrificing valuable study time to invent all of this :)
Ghouls and ghoul master: I want their loving little ghoul hearts and brains. And also some ichor. I also want their teeth and nails in case any poison can be gleaned from them. I'll also nab the blackstone ring, golden ring, impressive slippers, Accounting Secrets, and ledger/diary of the shady High Priest. Since he didn't do any "I am your father!" shenanigans, I'll assume it's my boss. He was a good boss. I try to make him comfortable in his last rest...any cute coffins around? Maybe a nice laser balanced pencil for the breast pocket. Are the rings like the secret spy rings where the jewel rotates and there's something secret inside?
Arms/metal: I want the engine from the band saw. I want to make a small chain saw that attaches to my gauntlet, like Ashe from Evil Dead. Stop right there Rob: Don't tell me it can't be done, tell me how to do it. We aren't about problems here, we're about solutions :) So I need the engine itself for sure, and probably the blade too, if it wasn't badly damaged. As for the other metal laying around, is any of it a special quality, or antique, or special workmanship? Also, wasn't the scorpion mechanical? Any useful pieces that can be salvaged there? I gank the 10 pp from the couch. I also examine the hammers closely, are they of only average quality? Or was 1 a supervisor with a "nice tinkering hammer"?
Diary: I need some more detail on the expenses. Is this book discussing the contruction of the storm machine? What are the categories (e.g. "nightmarish human experiments", "huge mechanical catapult", etc.). Is there any indication of where the dumbwaiter is, how to operate it, or what exactly went wrong? What about more details on the Master Tinkerer? Does it look like he betrayed the boss, or that something actually went wrong (did they start to underpay him?). What materials was he working with, and where were they purchased?
Then I'll catch up to the party and wait for Marivhon to do his thing. We'll need to ID these items and see who needs them.
