Scene Three: To the Rescue

OOC: Ok so what's the next steps then? We'll rest, split loot, and then we're going through a portal back to Brindol for now?

Izzy asks the Baron and the old wizard thinks for a moment,"They will need to face judgement, but they also have been working in the Keep for the past month. They know more about it than anyone else. They now it's traps and have through it's labs. They can be a source of information for us. I would prefer to keep them."

OOC: Once you are ready we can fast forward to after the rest and gaining level to the return to Brindol. Once concluded the original most of you were in Brindol was passing through to answer a call for adventures, soldiers, and heroes by Bordin's Watch. It is Orc season and the Dwarf pay well for those who will thin the tribes.

-what did the gnomes have on them? Loot/clues/etc? The Gnomes have normal mage gear. They claim they can create potions and other alchemical abilities. They are skilled at polymorph potions, basic healing, and invisibility. They offer to create potions for the chance to be freed after.

And what's the specs on the "few rings of evil look and design- Just jewelry to sell or wear.
metal headband that has metal pieces that curl around the ears- IF you put it on you can understand any language.
scale armor woven with decorations of sea animals and shells- Armor of the Mariner
the crown they were talking about was the dragonhelm that got swiped from the museum- Yes

For the crew, the cash from the blob divvys up to 3pp, 171gp, 430sp, 42cp apiece for all seven of us. If Olly's throwing his 100 gp into the kitty, that adds another 14 gp, 2 sp, 8 cp each. Which is actually better than the 400 gp that the council and lady Isidoro were offering (which, assuming they don't screw us over, will come out to 57 gp, 1 sp, 4 cp each).

They will not screw you over so add it to the kitty (unless you really mess up).

Hm. If nobody's got a real hankering for the tiara of translating, Izzy could use that. Anybody digging on the Mariner's Armor? Textbook version's got no armor bonus, but the wearer gets a swim speed equal to their base movement, and an emergency floatation deal if they hit 0 hitpoints when they're underwater. Izzy tried a quick appraise on the evil-looking rings [Int check total: 16], about how much should we be able to get for them?

So final kitty totals for all of us go like this: 3 PP, 242 GP, 433 SP, 54 CP each. Good haul, really. What do we wanna do in town (besides schmooze the council) before we head over to Bordin's Watch for some ethnic cleansing?

So, do we wanna drop them now for the quick cash, or save them for later? We're ok for cash now, so Izzy's leaning towards just holding on to them for now and getting the big payout whenever we get to a city. A handful of rings is easier to carry than a bag of gold, anyway. How many are there? What's the rest of the crew feeling?

Okay, Before we can go on , Who is walking through the gate to Brindol.

Paelius will be going as will Hraken.

OOC: Waiting to sell for later gain sounds good. Speaking of waiting for later, BA'll wait a bit in the hopes that the hostages' return will provide a big enough distraction for him to sneak by. Either that, or he'll try to figure out how to use this blasted magic portal so he can go somewhere with less imminent peril.
