Snag it, bag it and tag it

[claudiometer]

So I'm thinking it might be time to consider stealing the amulet and giving the pieces to people who'll actually use it. It's not gonna do anyone a damn bit of good sitting in this museum, that's for sure.

The real trick is going to be, well, stealing it, considering it managed to animate the suits of armor in here. That might outstrip whatever mundane security's on the place - I can handle people and technology, but this might even be a step beyond Artifact snagging. We should get the Forest Folk bit to those guys ASAP, but we at least have investigators who can relay it.

We also, uh. Need to be able to tell the pieces apart.

So. Who's in, what can you bring to the table, and what say we shoot for next week? Best chance of planning something that doesn't go totally pear-shaped.

... excuse me, but I think I must be missing a lot of the story myself, here.

[Everything between 'dungeon' and 'proximity' ... is a bit lost, right now.]

My job back home involves the collection and safe storage of tchotchkes that could kill you. This is extremely similar in a lot of ways. I'm hoping 'that could kill you' isn't a point of similarity, that'd just be unnecessarily messy.

[rebellioninbloom]

Ah. No, I would have to say I completely agree on that front.

[At least Treasures tended to be safe once they were ... in the clear?]

[claudiometer]

This doesn't seem like the kind of world where it's a major risk, at least. [Not that Claudia's going to let her guard down until they're done with the amulet.]

It's acting similarly enough to stuff from home to keep me on my toes, though. Unfortunately, I don't think the containment stuff I'm used to would do a damn bit of good even if I bothered making it. It never works on multi-part Artifacts unless you have all the parts, and two out of three is not all the parts.

I'm glad we never had to deal with multiple part ... items, at least. That would have been quite bothersome.

[What would a multi-part Treasure even have represented? A more complex chain of ... not that it matters now.]

[claudiometer]

Yeah, they're a real pain in the ass.

I'm hoping the locals will get their act together enough that this plan isn't necessary, but I want a contingency in place. One of the things this is reminding me of... turned out to be best left where it was instead of brought back for storage. I think getting the pieces to the right people is as important as bringing them together in the first place.
