The Solemn Search

Not to add confusion to all of this, but my intent was to kill goblins in lieu of trying to kill the owlbear and grick, which we were successful at.

I think where we got bound up was the grick actually caused some damage to Betty while Bearic was fighting the last remnants of the goblins. Ultimately Betty survived...barely but we might want to strategize a bit more, if we have an opportunity to talk things over before engaging with the enemy. That's my two cents.

Oh, and some nice roleplaying with Betty, Morgan and Maric...Please don't go all Conan on me, though.

Re: The Solemn Search

If Betty heard Maric's response, she gave no outward sign, and her small legs carried her out of the room, into the next and on outward to find Talin.

[OOC: I forgot I'd posted that she "brooks no retort", so sorry for the delay for such a short response. It was late and I was exhausted. -Ken]

Exhausted after running after the owl war, Talin makes his way slowly back to the party, taking breaks often to regather his breath.

"Ah, Talin, nice to see you again. Did you happen to notice Betty perchance? I would have some words with her."

I have not seen Betty, no Talin suddenly looks concerned was Betty chasing after the bugbear too?

The Solemn Search

Betty had gone off to find Talin, but had no luck.

Meanwhile, Talon had come back and was talking to the others about where Betty might have run off to.

Discussions arose about the group's next destination, as they looked over the various loot that remained in Cragmaw Castle.

Chain mail armor (normal)
5x Longsword (normal)
5x Spear (normal)
2x Greatsword (normal)
3x Morningstar (normal)
Quarterstaff engraved with stylized feathers (normal, but sells for 10g)
Golden elf statue (100g)
Golden chalice (150g)
Golden sacrificial knife (100g)
Golden censor (120g)
165 raw gold pieces
Potion of Healing (2d4+2)
Scroll of Revivify
Scroll of Silence

Re: The Solemn Search

Betty returns with some of the aforementioned loot in tow, though she says nothing as she deposits it upon the ground. She greets Talin with a friendly but wary eye. "Betty is glad to see you made it back, I suppose." Her voice is soft, and seemingly lacking in emotion or passion.

"Well, we have some loot. A fine job by everyone. Have we decided on the orcs, or do we want to face something else?"

"It's all right, Talin." Betty says, "I used the walk to clear my head. I'm glad you're all right. Do you need more rest?"

Re: The Solemn Search

dragging himself off the ground, he shakes his head no, thank you. I am quite recovered now

OOC, can a warlock use any of those weapons?

Re: The Solemn Search

Warlocks can use a spear or a quarterstaff. They generally never use weapons, unless they have to, but they can.

Re: The Solemn Search

Betty would only be interested in loot and healing potions.

Re: The Solemn Search

I don't really need any of the weapons/armor, and can't use the scrolls. So I'm fine with just selling the nonmagical loot, dividing the gold, and then maybe buying a bit of gear before we head out.

Are there any other potions besides healing available for sale in town? It's probably too small of a village, but never hurts to ask!

Lugging all of the gear back to town, the group manages to sell all of the unused bits and pieces, adding another 725gp to the 165gp they had already found.

The selection of available potions was not great, but better than expected.

Is this each or group total? I suspect the latter...

Re: The Solemn Search

Betty'll just want potions of healing with her share. As many Greater and Regular as she can get.

Re: The Solemn Search

If my math is correct, that divides into 222gp and 5sp (or 1ep if you choose) each.

I'm considering that potion of growth, but I'm about 20gp short. I had a lot of fun with the Enlarge/Reduce spell when I played a Wizard in a game last year. Not quite as good as old school D&D (where it gave you double damage), but still pretty nice.

Maybe if we take on the orcs first, I can pick it up before we face the dragon.

I'm sure she'll share some gp with you if you're a little ... short ... lol

Maric opens up his coin pouch and distributes some coin.

GP: 170      SP: 70      CP: 4

You're welcome to split that up.

My division of coin was based on Maric getting a share (assuming he might be back some day).

Should I recalculate for just the 3 of us?

Well, with the contents of Maric's pouch included, that comes to 355gp, 6sp, 7cp each.
