"That's it.  For today.  Let's go split this with t'e crew."


OOC:  It'd only 10 copper each.  But hey, 10c for walking across town and no risk?

It'll buy a frickin' meal or two...

In reply to Mellarill (msg # 580):

"Well Thanks!"

In reply to Francois leMert (msg # 581):

"Wow. I am going to go take a hot bath and get my clothes cleaned and patched up." she glances at Frank, who looks to be on the edge of saying something.
"and no Frank, you are not invited."

"Yeah, a couple days meals.  I think I might head over to Little Sahud and get some tea.  I'll come back to the house later."

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 583):

Jareth and company return to the house, while Evaine returns to the guild, and Frank heads off to a tavern.

The house needs some work, a little cleaning, and probably locks for the doors, although they do have bars inside.

I can lock some against all but mages... but they won't be usable to us without my dispelling the spell.

"That would work for doors we don't need to use regularly, but for doors we need to pass frequently, it would make much more sense to have actual locks installed.

"That shouldn't be expensive -- $50 in labor and $40 or $60 for the actual locks, I'd think."

"Can look into it tomorrow.  For tonight, I figure on just using t'e bars."

The bars stop just about everyone, and we'd be awakened by anyone trying to break in.

"Oh, yeah, for tonight.  Don't depend on me to raise the alarm; once I get the lights out, it takes a real effort to get me up.  I once slept through a kitchen fire at the orphanage."

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 589):

Much of the area between Berthold's basement and Junior House show signs of orcish hooliganry; crude graffiti, clods of mud thrown at whitewashed walls and the like. A few human folk are out yrying to paint over or wash off the offensive markings.

"I'm not sure if that's just orcs being orcs, or if it's tied to juggers.  Either way, it'd be nice if they'd stop."

Mario unslings his bow and staff and goes over where the cleanup is underway, picks up an unattended rag and starts scrubbing at markings that look more like soot, chalk, or mud than actual paint.

"Just like back with the Brothers, except here, I won't get a whipping if I don't do a good enough job."  He looks around.  "I hope."

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 591):

One of the tradesfolk nods at you as you assist with the cleanup. A child peers past them at you
"You live in the murder house, don't  you?"

"If you mean that house over there, then I guess I just moved in.  Was someone murdered there?"

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 593):

The child nods somberly.
"Everybody except the dog with the elf lady there."
They point at crotchsniffer, who is close on Mellarill's heels.

Mellarill smiles... an odd sight, as she doesn't often.  Crotchsniffer wags his tail wildly and approaches the boy, looking to be petted.

"Well, I and a few of my friends have moved in there now.  We'll try not to let anyone murder us."

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 596):

The child is startled by crotchsniffer's customary greeting, but pets the dog.

"Don't want anyone to get murderized."

"I agree.  I'd much prefer none of us get murderized."

Nodwin is making his way back to the house to meet up with the others and spots Mario helping their neighbors.

"So there you guys are, I trust everything went well."

He approaches the crowd and looks at a nearby section of vandalized wall. With a gesture and a quick murmur, he attempts to help out as well for a bit.

[Private to GM: 21:19, Today: Nodwin Zideqick rolled 10 using 3d6.  clean (14).]

"No big snags."  Mario continues scrubbing charcoal and less identifiable media from the wall.

In reply to Mario Crowfoot (msg # 600):

The neighbor smiles at Nodwin.
"That is a right handy ability to have, Guess what they say bout cleanliness being next to godliness. You a churching fella ain't ya?"

"Nodwin, good." He steps to shake his hand and as surreptitiously as possible passes him the bag of coins, he steps in close and speaks softly, "Here's t'e haul from t'e zombies.  Split it among t'e crewe eh?"

Then he steps back, "Just kenned got one last errand.  Not sure if it should wait till morn or be done now.  T'e Sanitation guild should be told about Otty an t'e dead worker down t'ere."



OOC:  Should we warn the Sanitation Guild now or later?  I'm all for it just being "a thing Jareth does off-screen" and not played out.

Hearing the crew outside, Jocelyn rejoins them
But they should be told so there aren't several more workers endangered.
