Redbrand Hideout

As the companions combine their attacks to finish the wizard and his guards, Morgan feels the full weight of exhaustion drop upon her like a sack of grain. But she can't rest yet. Sergeant Brickkiln shellacked her hide more than once as a fresh recruit for not caring properly for her weapons. She wipes blood from her blade on Glasstaff's robes to remove most of it, then gets out a cloth to remove the residue, and finally an oilcloth to protect the valuable steel.

After sheathing the blade, she falls back on the grass and gives her body time to catch up. Her chest heaves with heavy breathing, slowly returning to normal after a minute or so.

When she's finally recovered from the exertion of the chase, she sits up. "So, that was well done. What's next?"

"I could use a break," Maric said to Morgan. "That transformation does strange things to my body, and my mind. I think I liked being in that form too much."

Betty harrumphed again, "Betty certainly prefers it. You talked much less, I suppose."

Though still feeble in body, her attitude, it seems, has fully recovered.

To Morgan, she simply replies, "Coffee. Black. As nature intended."

Maric showed elven fangs to the Barbarian. His laughter came out as a nearly silent wheeze.

After searching the bodies of the fallen, Maric comes up with is spoils.

Maric studies the staff. Showing his avarice, he digs through the dead mage's robes and finds a small stash (see below).


"I like this staff," he said. "I think I can use it. But given my earthy nature, it might be better in the hands of one of the other spell weavers. Can any of you figure out what it does?"

"Oh, and there are 54 Gold, 29 Silver and 16 copper."

Total shares:



Maric 13g, 8 silver & 4 copper

Beatrice 14g 9 silver 4 copper

Morgan 14g 8 silver 4 copper

Talin 13 gold 9 silver 4 copper


"Also, let's make sure we get the armor and weapons off the dead RedBrands, but leave their small clothes! Can't leave money on the table!"

Not a perfect distribution, but a nice little haul for everyone. I tried to be fair. Darn fractions! Let me know if you have any questions.

Beatrice takes her share with a coquettish smile and nod toward Maric. Then, grimly, she sets about assessing the damages to her dress ...

"You want, I can try to hem that for you." Maric said, amusement writ upon his face.

"What? I didn't say I'd do a good job, just that I'd try to hem it for you. For all I know it'll look like swiss cheese when I'm done!"

Maric looks around. "There are only four of us, of which I believe that Morgan wouldn't want a staff, so that leaves Talin and me. Unless Betty wants it, in which case I might be persuaded to negotiate. But she's got that pig-sticker that she does pretty well with.

You guys tell me what you want to do, then let's be about our business. Rumors run fast and Glasstaff dude was a big fall for the bad guys. I don't want be stuck in the middle of nowhere licking our wounds, ya know?"

Morgan gives a lighthearted laugh at the idea of her using a staff. "Swords for me. Well, axes are fine, too. Pole arms are good in the right situation. But I've never been one for staff fighting."

The concept that the staff might be other than a melee weapon is lost on the warrior woman.

OOC: I'm good to go when you guys are. If some of you need an official short rest, though, let's take that and get going.

Betty nods, still lamenting the state of her dress. "Agreed. Let's get the hell out of here before more of Ass Staff's cronies show up. I need coffee and a proper tailor that doesn't just want to get Betty out of her clothes, I suppose..." The look she gives Maric, however, would indicate that she isn't entirely adverse to the idea...

I'll leave this thread open for a little while so you can continue the in-scene RP if you want, then I'll lock it down.

Maric grows bold at Betty's sauciness. "So when we get back are you gonna buy me a drink?"

"Hah! Where I come from, the man buys the woman a drink. That's why we're so much more civilized there, I suppose." Betty retorts with a smug smile.

"Well certainly you're civilized...for a barbarian. You wear lace with frills, a nice feminine touch to the outfit. Goes especially nice with your blade."

He laughs, enjoying the tete a tete.

Then he grows serious. "I really liked being a dire wolf, but a brown bear, that would be awesome. You think you could stay on a bear?" he asked.

Betty attempts to frame a response to Maric's "compliment", but is then caught off guard by the thought of ... riding ... Maric ... as a giant bear. Paddington had long been her companion as a child, she'd drug the be-hatted and be-coated bear with her everywhere, much to her parent's chagrin. She became lost in a fantasy of Maric turning into Paddington, then a massive Paddington! Her eyes glossed over, a dumbstruck smile crossed her face and became plastered there. "Paddy." she giggled, softly, unaware of her surroundings... "Paaaaady..."

Just...surreal. For the record, my favorite was Curious George, but the guy in the yellow hat was a bit scary. LOL!

[OOC: Sorry if that didn't come across correctly. I was trying to portray her child-like reverie over a giant version of her favorite childhood teddy bear. :\ Either way, unless someone else starts RPing, we could always just cut to the next scene... -Ken]

"If none of you want the staff, I'll hang onto it for the time being. There might be a sage or even a mage in town who might be able to discern what it does.
