The old elven Talismonger rose from his Walking Stick (which he had been sitting on the whole time) and picked up Eruntian's Ring and held it before him. "My sympathies for, young one. I feel your pain. I am not a healer, but a craftsman and a student of the enchanting arts: Master Talismonger Serhan of Targos, at your service. I offer you in solace my knowledge and expertise. Your ring, sadly, is in need of much more repair than I can do.
I will speak plainly then: Your ring is now unsafe for you to wear and it needs to be reparied or this kind of thing may happen again. I managed to extricate you from the unnatural sleeping it had you in, but as I did so I saw some of the energies that run through the ring.
You see, all enchanted objects have energies that course through them. They all draw upon an energy that flows from the world, and energy that we who deal with Magic know as the Manasphere. Your friend the Mage, here, knows of what I speak, as does your honoured Dwarven healer. All enchanted objects draw mana in different ways, in different mixtures and amounts. As such, they need to be properly tuned and balanced when they are made or they will begin to do things that they're not supposed to. This is because the world and it's Manasphere are constantly changing, but the objects we Talismongers make do not change. Thus, the Manasphere is constantly shifting it's harmonics, and so we talismngers must allow for this in our designs. However, even the best-made ring will eventually become out of harmony with the manasphere if not attended to properly. So, as I said, the harmony between a enchanted object and the Manasphere is one that continualy changes. Most objects have a great enough tollerance for this that they can be fine for hundreds of years without malfunctioning. However, your ring is ancient: It was forged thousands of years ago, in the time before the Great Cataclysm. So, your ring was likely out of harmony long before it was ever in your care. I'm surprised it worked at all, really. If you want to have the ring working like it's supposed to again, you will need to get the ring and yourself to the top of White Dragon's Peak and look up an old friend of mine there. Jaroun, a Master Ring Smith and the Grandmaster of my guild of Enchanters has the facilities and skills necessary to reset the ring's harmonics. I fear he would ask for very much gold for his services, but he is the only one who can help you. There is hope, however, for perhaps he would be amiable to a trade instead of gold. You see, I know of something rare that he alone desires, and you and your friends look to be just the sort of fellows to obtain it for him. Hrmmmm.. yes, I think a trade for his services could be worked out if you could get what he wants. I could contact him for you, if you like, yes?"
<GM's Note: White Dragon's Peak is the westernmost mountain in the Barrier Mountains, a mountain range to the North that forms the boundary between Skarae Brae and Suldeneselar. The mountain is surrounded by (and it's foothills covered in) a forest which extends all the way to the Targos region. If you climb the Targos bell-tower on a clear day, you can actually see part of White Dragon's Peak off to the North. Micheal could probably get a pretty good look at it with that Farseeing spell of his.>
