OOC: Ever since I started calling him Thaggy, I've been trying to figure out a way to work that story into this adventure of ours. Did I make it too obvious, or did you groan when you read their names at the end. LoL!
Boghadair says to Johnson, "Didn't you say you could figure out a way to read that dwarvish tome? Or am I thinking of somebody else? Maybe there's clues in there as to where we can find this Lost Mine that our dwarf friend found."
"That's brilliant Tyrus. This tome was found on Glasstaff's desk...Oh bother."Boghadair smacks his forehead. "That reminds me. We should tell Sildar that we found his wizard friend he was looking for, and that he was the leader of the Redbrands. I don't think he will be happy to hear that news."
The half-orc stretches his body after going through differrent establishments, selling the loot, and talking to most of the people about their liberation from the redbrands.
"This day has been tiring. Thagakh feels like we just spent more than a week inside the Manor.
Thagakh will leave the negotiations to you guys while Thagakh wash this fancy robe and then rest at the inn. Just don't forget to wake Thagakh for dinner."

Tyrus is able to read the book. The tome is written in Dwarvish. The journal of an adventurer named Urmon, it describes the history of the Lost Mine of Phandelver and the Forge of Spells. In addition, Urmon records that a magic mace named Lightbringer was commissioned by priests of Lathander, the god of dawn, from the mages working with the gnomes and dwarves of the Phandelver’s Pact. The mace was lost when Wave Echo Cave and its mine vanished from history.
More than five hundred years ago, clans of dwarves and gnomes made an agreement known as the Phandelver’s Pact, by which they would share a rich mine in a wondrous cavern known as Wave Echo Cave. In addition to its mineral wealth, the mine contained great magical power. Human spellcasters allied themselves with the dwarves and gnomes to channel and bind that energy into a great forge (called the Forge of Spells), where magic items could be crafted. Times were good, and the nearby human town of Phandalin (pronounced fan-duh-lin) prospered as well. But then disaster struck when orcs swept through the North and laid waste to all in their path.
A powerful force of orcs reinforced by evil mercenary wizards attacked Wave Echo Cave to seize its riches and magic treasures. Human wizards fought alongside their dwarf and gnome allies to defend the Forge of Spells, and the ensuing spell battle destroyed much of the cavern. Few survived the cave-ins and tremors, and the location of Wave Echo Cave was lost.
While talking to locals, it is uncovered that Qelline is a longtime friend of a druid named Reidoth. She suggests that they visit Reidoth and ask for his help, “since there’s not an inch of the land he doesn’t know.” She tells the characters that Reidoth recently set out for the ruins of a town called Thundertree, just west of the Neverwinter Wood. The ruins are about fifty miles northwest of Phandalin, and she provides directions so the characters can easily find the place.

Sildar is upset to find out about Glassstaff,however; Sildar also encourages the characters to keep up the pressure on the Cragmaw goblins. He offers the party a 500 gp reward if they can locate Cragmaw Castle and defeat or drive off the tribe’s chieftain. Sildar suggests the party might find the castle by searching the lands around the Triboar Trail for more raiding parties.

OOC: Just for clarification, the only things we don't want to keep are the gold earring with gem (30 gp), powdered nightshade (75 gp), 5 carnelians (50 gp), 2 peridots (30 gp), one pearl (100 gp), 2 garnets (20 gp), 5 malachite gems (80 gp), 3 platinum signet rings (150 gp), 30 beaver pelts (60 gp), and traveling clothes (2 gp) with a total combined worth of 597 gp.
However, we haven't found where to sell this in Phandalin, right?

Akaas explains to Droop that he is unable to secure a job for him in Phandalin and asks him if he has ideas for what he would like to do. Akaas suggests that Droop could travel with the group and be Akaas's student. He can also explain that if they travel to a larger town, that the people might be more open to the idea of hiring a Goblin.
In any case, Akaas would like to purchase for Droop some clothes that are more concealing of his race. I'm sure common clothes are available, but is a hooded cloak also available? If so, let me know how much they cost.
Akaas visits Halia with the letter the group found on the wizard's desk to tell her about their success at the Manor.
Finally, Akaas visits Mirna Dendrar and her children and gives them 150 gp.
To Thagakh: Bugbear leather eye patch with gems 50 gp, Gold earring with gem 30 gp, 5 carnelians, 50 gp, 2 peridots 30 gp, one pearl, 100 gp, 2 garnets, 20 gp, 5 malachite gems 80 gp, 3 platinum signet rings 150 gp , 30 beaver pelts 60 gp , traveling clothes 2 gp this would total 572 gp if you could find someone to buy it.
Halia Thornton at the Miner Exchange offered a rewards for taking out Glassstaff and might be willing to purchase the items.
ooc: johnson is studying the staff to use. i’m going arcane trickster for my character.
rescueing the dwarf and “liberating” the map would seem like a top priority. not sure how we’ll go about finding the place though...
Merry 1st lv halfling rogue
”Neverwinter” Johnson 1st lv human rogue
a rest sounds good
Laissez les bons temps rouler
We can ask the locals and maybe Droop knows something.
OOC: While in Barthans i try to buy 10 gp worth of charcoal, incense, and herbs tand a brass brazier if available
Laissez les bons temps rouler
Akaas will talk to the inn owner about giving Droop a job at the inn.
Persuasion: 5

If Johnson cannot read Dwarvish, Tyrus steps up and says "I can read Dwarvish, master Boghadair. Please, allow me."
