OOC: This is a big post, I will try to get it in one, but if I miss something, please let me know!
Also, for the bank, please keep a record on your character sheet of how much you've deposited, minus the 10% tax (or per item fee for gems/jewelry/magic items). They are completely safe from theft while there, and you can withdraw money at any time for no fee.
The Oak and Eagle
Dead Reckoning pay to keep their lodgings, and hand out pay and bonuses to their retainers, all of whom are willing to continue employment if you'll have them.
Temple of the Sun
An acolyte tends to the wounded, as Sister Clarion nods sadly at the sight of Yor's lifeless body. "Another young life, gone too soon. I will see to the arrangements. Would you like to make any sort of memorial?"
Grey Friars' Monastery
Members of Dead Reckoning and the Adventure Whores arrive at the same time. There is an unpleasant odd odor lingering in the room, and some of the furnishings are stained green. Brother Holger explains that the vial Dead Reckoning brought in was a stink bomb trap, and that opening it to investigate set off the contents in the lab. He's not too happy about that. "I did manage to collect a small sample of the liquid, though, which I will investigate in a safer manner once the Rector has been placated. The mess and stench were quite powerful!"
The alchemist completes his transaction with the Adventure Whores, passing them four potions of healing and asking if there is anything else they require. Then he turns to the snake heads and small reptilian bodies. He examines them for some time. "Yes, I can manufacture a potion of poison from this snake venom. I think it should only take 300gp. These corpses are pocket dragons, I believe. I would like to consult with Rupert before I try to duplicate their venom, as it may have unusual effects."
Trade Bazaar
The Twins talk to several vendors, a few of whom suddenly remember pressing business in other parts of town and close down their stalls rather than purchase possibly cursed toys. One vendor, a foreign woman with ankle length black hair, golden skin, and bright green eyes, wearing a multi-layered loose garment with strategically placed slits that reveal just enough skin to entice offers to buy all of the toys for 200gp. "They will make good conversation pieces. By the way, would you handsome gentlemen be interested in a magic wand? It creates the most wondrous illusions, and has at least five charges left. It can be yours for 2500gp."
Rupert's Tower
The Party Posse request many scrolls, and Rupert frowns. "Ah, you know, I have scrolls with the sleep spell. Of course you can purchase them. Standard prices, as you know. One hundred gold each. Spells for curing wounds are beyond me, though. Have you asked at the Temple of the Sun or maybe at the Sacred Grotto? I'm not sure if old Toutates is literate or not, but he can definitely cast spells to knit wounds closed!"
An apprentice in white robes and hat brings two scrolls of sleep up from the copy room at Rupert's command.
The Oak and Eagle
That night, Dead Reckoning meet their new Elven Bard companion, and The Adventure Whores and The Party Posse share the common room with them at dinner time. Several locals watch with interest as discussions of forming a supergroup are shared among the adventurers.
