(IC) The End or the Beginning?

The woodlands were quiet. For the first time there was no enemies, no one needing protection. It was peaceful. The duegar were quiet, working away inside the Forge. They made amends with the group and let them go in peace-at least for now. It was a good time to embark back to town. And everyone seemed happy and content. When the mayor arrived he held a celebration for the group as they accomplished something he didn't expect. A massive party came after. Everyone was happy and full of joy. The group had their time to rest and regroup. And there was the final piece of the puzzle. What happened to the smith's remakable belongings? Would they keep what they had obtained or trade them to Baron Althon? Hard to say. But he did state they can keep them or give them to him for a price he was willing to provide. He waited as they came to him, crossing his arms and waited to see what they decided upon.

OOC So there was:
+2 Dwarven Waraxe
+1 Bastard Sword
Masterwork Handeaxe
Masterwork Warhammer.

I will say good job! If some of these items weren't found I can say the duegar provided them. I believe the sword and axe were found but don't think the handaxe or the warhammer were discovered so I will say they were given to the group.

Landor enjoyed the party, but not too much in an effort to keep his piety intact. When the issue of the Dwarven weapons was brought up, he had no issue with selling them to someone who could really appreciate their history. “Unless one of the others wishes to keep any of them, I am fine with selling them for a good offer.”

Gar, the trip back, had seemed quiet in some internal struggle. His fight with the dragon had shown him his strengths of batyle was great, but at a range he was near useless.

This doubt had awakened something in him he had only felt as a child.

...some strange power.

He looked at the priest when he spoke and managed a weak smile. "The dwarven axe us better suited for Thoren. I could use it, but only two handed effectively, and even though it is enchanted, it is smaller than my axe and will do less damage."

He contemplated the bastard sword and the warhammer, the hammer solely as a ranged weapon, but dismissed it.

"Let us sell the rest...perhaps the town has some magic suited for my ways."

Thoren was at a loss he still had no idea how he had ended up in the stasis box or how long he had been inside. He worried that he had an enemy waiting for him that he did not even know. He was pulled back into the present when Gar brought up the dwarven ax. Yes the ax would make me a much better combatant in a fight, and if Gar truly does not want it I would gladly except it.

When the party got to town Thoren was instantly swept into the festive atmosphere, and broke into song pounding away at his drum every opportunity he got.


18:51, Today: Thoren Stonecutter rolled 32 using 1d20+14.  performance check.

Baron meets with the group. He offers you three different amounts, one per item. The samurai isn't with the group for some reason.

OOC
+2 Dwarven Waraxe-Kepted by the dwarf
+1 Bastard Sword-Willing to offer you 2500 gold so 500 per person
Masterwork Handeaxe-Offers 500 gold so 100 gold/apierce
Masterwork Warhammer-Offers 500 gold so 100 gold/apierce


Elsewhere Tai isn't at the party. He sits alone on top of one of the buildings looking in deep thought and resting his blade across his lap as he sits indian-style looking out amongst the people below.

There's a blacksmith as well as several other people who arrive upon carts and whatnot. Once the baron is talk to, they are provided rooms and meals whenever they want it, free ale and everything else. For how long, remains unseen but at least its a few days rest and time to cope.

Landor nods at the agreed price. “That is a fair price thank you. “He turned to the others. “So what do you want to do now?”

The half orc stands behind the others, wordlessly as the deal is made, and takes his share wordlessly.

When Labdor speaks, Gar looks up. "The people we rescued....the girl. I want to know their OK before we move on." he looks at the pouch. "...and do some shopping"

Yes I agree some shopping is definitely on the list of things to do, a long with taking a long hot bath and of course drinking lots of ale. The dwarf pulls his coin purse from inside his armor and adds his new found wealth. So what are we all shopping for, I for one would like to look into some scrolls.

Gar took the huge axe from his back and looked at it, thinking of the experiences in the caves. "Yes....shopping. I feel that some change in my tactics may be in order."

He looks around after the gold is tarried out. He smiles at Thoren. "Come thoren...let is see what the merchants hold."

Lyrian nods, glad to sell off what they don't need, particularly to someone willing to be so generous.

"I'd like to come with you, Gar and Thoren," she pipes up as they talk about going to the merchants.  "I need to rethink my armarments with these new tricks I picked up."  She holds the spellbook she had kept from Rafink, the gnome spellcaster.  "I've learned to cast some magic, but it needs a lot of free movement if I'm to do it properly."

After the group does their shopping they are invited to the main square. Fireworks are set up and start to go off. Everyone is happy and celebrating being free of the orc menace. The rogue get some insight on her change of pace from a passing wizard. Landor also get some insight from three Pelorians who arrived. The bard is hitting it up with his performance, some of the villagers sitting around listening to his tales. Tai isn't anywhere to be seen which is odd. The young girl runs over to Gar and hugs his legs! "Gar! Gar!" She is a familiar face "Come come! See my parents!" Several others are selling their wares,some recieve, some gain. Its very inviorating and relaxing.

OOC
Tai isn't around.

Make a Spot and Listen check.

So got several things you could do. Stay in the square, Gar could see her parents and could bring the group or go alone. Could just mingle. Could go see if you can find Tai.

Landor is at peace watching the fireworks and seeing so many happy faces after the days of fighting monsters. He is somewhat distracted as he is eating a deep fried pastry.

Gar had spent his day in deep contemplation while shopping with the others. Much to the shock of most, he sold his greataxe with a sigh. In another shop he found a bow suited to his strength and brought it with arrows. As he was leaving, a weapon caught his eye

Minutes later, he walked out of the shop with his new bow and new weapon, a double axe used often by his orc kin.

Now as the evening started, he watched the crowd as the fireworks started. When the girl came up to him, he had tunnel vision. The half orc smiled as he placed a hand in her head. "It is good to see you home and smiling again."

He looked over at Landor. "I will be back soon, come find me if you need me." The half orc then follows the girl with a smile

<OOC: Gar Irontooth rolled 8 using 1d20+4.  Listen check.
Gar Irontooth rolled 7 using 1d20+4.  Spot check.>

After shopping the bard spent his time moving around the party retelling the hero's exploits
to all who would listen. Doing his best to blend in and keep an eye on his new found friends, it trouble him that he didn't see the Kenku any where. Approaching Landor the sturdy dwarf asked, Have you seen Tia anywhere. I have not seen him all night.

Lyrian finds the fireworks enchanting, and the festival food reminds her of growing up in the circus.  Wandering around and enjoying the festivities, she sees the little girl go tug on Gar, and decides to tag along a little.  It makes her smile to see such a little child enamored of their big half-orc.  Perhaps she'd like the little ferret, Ingrid, whom Lyrian had called in her first real act of magic.  The fuzzy, cream-colored ferret with black feet was a source of comfort and amusement to Lyrian.

Where the Samurai is remains to be seen. The bard and cleric talk and converse, the cleric finds someone to spend some gold on. Its a decent night, nothing seems odd.

The rogue and barbarian leave to talk to the girl and her parents.

One of the clerics moves towards Lan, his eyes narrow. A older cleric, he motions for him to come over and sit down, seeming rather dishevealed and tired.

"They are coming! A clawed red hand is coming! Go to Drellin's Ferry! Elsir Vale. Tommorow. Elsir Vale. Please you must aid them!" The older cleric stares at Lan, and he looks like he hasn't slept "Please, you must go."

"War is coming. Banner of the Red Claw. I am unsure of anything else. When I slept, it came to me. A nightmare and a vison. It was hard to make out. Blood and bones. Please..." The man stares at Lan.

From above, the samurai drops down silently and stands up. Tai crosses his arms over his chest.
