Kerlharter offers to assist in trying to retrieve the coffers using wooden poles, but prefers to backtrack once that is done.

(My post from yesterday got eaten, or maybe I screwed it up, I was having quite the day, sorry.)

The coffers aren't in the pools, you use fishing poles to drag them over and find they contain a total of 31 gems (250 ea) 3 jewelry (4k each).  There's also the scroll case the Werewolf was using to hit people, which contains a cleric scroll of cure light wounds.

"Lets divide the loot so far. 10 gems each 1 jewelry each. Then we have a pristine leather a scroll of cure wounds and an extra gem. We each get one before I try some pools out. Which of you is hit the most gets first pick then next I will take last since I am unhurt."

Once picks are made K3 try's the blue pool.

Someone else can pick first.  (Good gods, what a find!)

Ok Ella then Kerl I get last.

If Ella already has a claim on the pristine leather she's wearing she'll go for the extra gem.

The leather is yours already but we have another set of leather the cure scroll and gem still. You get first choice

She'll take the gem.

Ok Kerl pick between pristine leather or the cure wounds scroll

Kerl chooses the leather.

Ok K3 tries the blue pool now that the treasure has been split.

Any gold you're carrying has turned to lead (worthless.)

Ok try the Brown olive one now

K3 finds himself weak (loses hi str.)

He tries the last one next

Kerlharter folds his mighty arms and watches.

K3 disappears (he finds himself back at town on the surface)

Ella watches her companion disappear and blinks a few times in surprise.

"I don't really want to find out what happens with that pool as injured as I am..." she says.  "Sucks, but... should we head back to town?"  She holds up her map.

Kerlharter nods in agreement.

She paused a moment to consider the pool that had claimed K3.  "So long, and sorry for leaving you," she said, then turned to begin following the map back up to town.

Kerlharter follows.

The party returns to town and finds K3 there.

Wolff is ready to explore when others heal up.

Ella, healing from her grievous wounds, is going to take a break from going down into the dungeon.

The thread is nearing it's limit I'll start a new one, Party A.2
