"Enialis!" Odilon says with a smile, "and Xan!" Odilon nodded, "Both fine additions to the patrol I attended to, now it seems we are to venture out again once more." Looking back to Jankar Odilon crossed his arms, "Well that's a brave and honorable task indeed. I'd be happy to bring the guidance of my Lord Hyx along with."

Re: [Misc] Smith's Gambit ~about 3pm~

Jankar nods at each of the men as they gathered around him, piercing hazel orbs inspecting each of them carefully. They seemed like a good and capable group -- he was satisfied with the quick and reliable turnout. He recognized the monk Xannan and the older gentleman Odilon from their shared encounter with the lumberjacks. "Good to see you again, Xan and Odilon. Thank you for coming. Pleasure to meet you, Thorton and Ruffles. I expect us to be out about a day's walk from here; a good watchtower cannot be too far from its center." He acknowledged the cat with a gentle smile as he would have a person. Animals were invaluable companions to have, especially for missions like these. "A pleasure, Enialis and Fion. The lovely hawk will absolutely be a great help to us but do not underestimate the prowess of a cat. Unless there are any objections, let us take our leave while the sun is bright. We'll be heading north from here." He spoke like an experienced commander; it was clear that he had done this many times before.

Re: [Misc] Smith's Gambit ~about 3pm~

Thorton gives the tiniest hint of a smile, trying his best to hide his pleasure at the kind words directed towards Ruffles.

"No doubt it is best to have as many pairs of eyes as possible. Ruffles can go low, Fion can go high."

Thorton picks up a small pack that he had set down during this conversation. It small and neatly kept, but looks well used and should probably be replaced soon. A keen eye would notice the mark of a seasoned but impoverished traveler.

"I am packed and prepared, Sergeant Ulmakina. I will accompany you north at your leisure."

Anreyela enters


Hey Erret, the SUPER AWESOME STAGGERINGLY AMAZING INTREPED QUINTET OF DESTINY!! has returned with our signed sheets.

Also we met some tritons who said we should talk to one of their soldiers sometime, but we didnt have a chance to meet her.



Anreyela checks the board


Looks like everything else is done Erret, maybe just another night patrol?

Re: [Misc] Smith's Gambit ~about 5am~

Though the sun cannot yet be seen over the wall east of the town, the sky has begun to brighten. From the Frosthide Inn, the bell notifying guests that breakfast is ready can be heard even in the town hall. As he pays her and her team, Smith says to Azucondie, "Young lady, it's morning. You lot have been out all night. If you wish, you and your friends can take a morning patrol, but be careful not to overdo it."

I think we need to get some rest, thus another night patrol.  If not we will see what tomorrow has.

Re: [Misc] Smith's Gambit ~about 5am~

Looking at her with a reassuring glance Alban replies, "We really should rest and recover now and prepare for another night patrol later tonight, Anreyela."

Alban turns towards Erret and asks, "Erret, I wanted to talk with you about building a workshop/living quarters space for myself here in town.  Have you giving any thought as to where you want the commercial buildings for the crafting trades to be built in town? I have enough money now to have an alchemy workshop to be built and almost enough to buy the living quarter areas; 100 gps. Would you agree to extend me a 100 gp line of credit to complete the construction costs for everything?  I really need a workspace to craft alchemy, potions, and magical items.  Boneclaw and I were thinking of building it near the cemetery you granted to him earlier.  Would you agree to this?"

Alban pauses a moment to let Erret respond and then asks, "Another matter I would ask you concerns acquiring a magic item formula from you or my guild.  I wish to craft or acquire a wand of magic missiles to help protect city better.  I do have some vials of frost spider venom collected from this last patrol to barter if it helps.  Would you help me in this matter?"



GM response to above from a private thread: As for the work/living quarters you would need:
50 gp for the initial living quarters for you
25 gp for the crafting room
50 gp for the crafting table
25 gp for the additional fireplace that would be needed for alchemy use
Totaling out to 150 gp for 1 living quarter & 1 work space with what you need to work.
For just you living here would give you the Modest lifestyle expense or lower you could choose from.


Alban would also like to add a second living quarters for either Boneclaw(business partner) or a guest for another 50gp; making the total 200gp (2 living quarters + workshop area to produce alchemy and potions, and potentially magic items in the future).

Re: [Misc] Smith's Gambit ~about 5am~

Erret responds to the Alban's question,"Of course, Alban. Just sign this here contract promising no less than 1/5 of your wages from any job you take, until the sum is paid. I don't charge interest, but if the worst should happen to you out there before its paid off, ownership of the property will revert to me. In your case, if Boneclaw signs as secondary, the contract will revert to him in that case."

To his second question, "I can handle that. I know somebody in the city who might have what yer looking for, and if not, they can get it." He pulls out a pad and a quill, and works some figures, "so, between the cost of the formula itself, and what the couriers charge, should come out to 40 gold. It should arrive within a week." He pulls another contract from his desk. "Is that acceptable?"

Re: [Misc] Smith's Gambit ~about 5am~

Alban listens to Erret's terms; nodding his head in agreement at each point.  "That is more than acceptable terms and I accept on both counts."  He takes the contract from Erret and signs it with a smile.  "I Between Boneclaw and Jessop I doubt it will take long to pay you back, Erret.  This will be a good investment, I think, Erret.  A profitable partnership, in deed.  If there is anything you need or looking for please let me know, so that I might return the favor."

Reaching into his coin purse to Alban draws out 40gps for the formula and 100gps for the workshop. He hands them to Erret cheerfully.  "A good trade and I accept the terms for he formula.  Please let me know when it comes in.  I have a feeling once it does; I will be very busy around." He says with a smile and shaking Erret's hand to seal the deals.  Stifling a yawn Alban nods his head at Erret.  "Well, it's been a long night.  I shall be at the inn for most of the day resting for tonight's patrol if you need to talk with me. Good morning to you, sir." Alban says jokingly and makes his way out of the hall to the inn.

Alban returns to the town hall in time to join his companions in the conversation. He interjects, "I second that, Sai.  It would be good to get out of the lab for a while. If everyone is up for it?"  He looks around for Azu and says, "Anyone seen Hoot or Azu yet today?"

Re: [Misc] Smith's Gambit ~about 3 pm~

Smith tells Kriv, "20 gp to circle the perimeter, visiting each watchtower twice. 5 extra for hazard pay, if you get caught in a storm or spend more than a few hours in the dark." He notice the Quintet of Destiny, "Hey, folks! This fella here is ahead of you on the roster. One of you is gonna have to wait for the next patrol to fill, unless you're all willing to risk splitting into two patrols of three."

I guess everyone can talk about that, but another encounter like that hag with just 3 would be pretty rough.

Re: [Misc] Smith's Gambit ~about 3 pm~

To answer Erret, Hoot mimics the hag's introduction: "Gaaaaze upon the magniiiificence of Fiiiishbone Saaaaally!"

Actually, he had almost forgotten about the hag after sleeping. He kind of wanted to go see if her tracks from last night were still there, so he could sneak back to her lair and see how it is. Since it seemed like the friends he met yesterday can't all go on patrol together anyways, Hoot can go do that instead. Now he just needs to pick the right words...

He starts by pointing to the rest of the party, then to Krivcrath. "If we get another... We might just get a lot of giggles as we would be a sextet." While pointing, he realizes that he hasn't said his name to the new person! Yesterday everyone said their names right away, so he makes sure to do that. "Name's [snowy owl call] by the way," which for good measure he follows up with "Chill out, my name is Hoot."

Then turning back to his party, he points to himself and then points to the general direction they fought Fishbone Sally. "I was loooooking for my lost pet." He then does his best to mime that he's going to go out and look for her lair (and maybe pet), but it kind of just looks like he's constipated.

01:03, Today: Hoot rolled 4 using 1d20-1.  Performance check (being a mime).

Re: [Misc] Smith's Gambit ~about 3 pm~

Answering Hoot, Alban points out, "The sea hag's lair may be underwater, along the beach, Hoot and may be hard to find.  She was a sea hag after all. That's assuming that line about trying to find her pet may have been a lie just to draw us into her trap."  He paused for a moment in thought and shrugs.  "Whatever the group decides is ok with me. "
