Croak's jaw drops as he receives a bag of gold from Kendrick. Even farther when he mentions that he is taking John in as an apprentice.

"Next time we discover some jewels we will bring them by!"

Walking towards the smith, "Shalec, let's split this and make no mention. If anything, you're the one that took the slash from John and that needs reparation. I rescued the dwarf and he and Urselles would just as soon donate the coin to the poor. Well I'm poor too."

Satisfied with his argument, Croak leans again against the Blacksmith shop, arms folded and grinning just a tad more widely.

Croak hears a voice from behind him “what was that now, Croak” Urselles says

"Oh Hey! Um, I've got 50 gold to tithe. Donate it to the church in Kendrick's name and as a penance for John's actions. He is being rehabilitated through apprenticeship.""

Urselles sighs at the half orcs justifications "Croak, stop. Just stop" Urselles says with a disappointed look on her face "did you really think you could just get away with this"

Shalech looks at Urselles, "I would think it, and believe it too.  The people of Northbank are destitute because they are not doing anything to help themselves.  Throwing gold at them will not change anything.  You are delusional if you think charity will solve their problem."

"so you believe it is the people of Northbanks fault for not being given a chance, that they choose for the mayor to not support them" Urselles signs at the pair "we're throwing more then just gold and food, we're throwing  ourselves at them, showing them there's someone who cares, that's worth more then gold could ever be, because it gives people hope. Besides, I have a better plan for this gold"

Terrin, the female blacksmith, says; "Please sir, if you've got no more business here; we've got work to do." Garrett, the teen boy, motions towards the exit to Kizori.

Han notices the gathered group and heads towards then; waving to Shalech as he approaches.  Once near he says; "Yep, Necromancy.  Something undead definitely made it through the tower.  Oh, by the way, you all left your magic items on Dar's table."

Isa, still in a huff, comes back to the group.  When she sees Han, she relaxes a bit, understanding the hold up.  "Han, how can we help you?" She asks; trying to conceal her recent frustration with Klandar.

Han seems too occupied with talking to Shalech to notice Isa.

(Side note, make sure to keep an eye of messages, incase any of you may have missed one.  Also, another thread that I'm PCing on uses Discord to communicate between post and I was wondering if you all would be interested in me starting one for this group?)

Kizori exits the blacksmith, and begins following the others, "Wonder if they have anything that needs done around here." Kizori looks towards the destroyed side of town.

Eliath replies as Kizori walks past her; "This town does look like it needs more aid than the Guild Town.  Maybe we should stick around for a little?"

Shalech shakes his head, "Unless there is a beast or a tyrant keeping these people in their homes, preventing them from working, sowing crops, building, fishing, raising herds or whatever can earn a living, then what you are saying is naïve.  You do not have a claim to this gold anymore than we do.  We split it evenly, and you can do what you wish with your share."

Turning to Han, "Thank you Han.  We're just heading to Isa's to see if something undead was in her home as well.  Can you join us?  Maybe you can tell if it was the same undead.  As for the magic items, we'll return to Dar's and decide how to distribute the items later."

Urselles turns to Han "we should definitely get moving, although considering how many delays we've have we'll be lucky to make it without anything else happening" 

Han nods in agreement, and the group begins the long walk to Isa's.  She explains that the trek will take about an hour, and that she usually uses her ring to give her a speed boost to make the trip faster.

About thirty minutes into your journey, you happen upon a broken wooden fence; with many smashed and trampled gourds, and others clearly ripped and taken from their vines.

Kizori let's our a sad sigh, "I do need to make some gold for my wagon though. Think anyone here needs work done? I am competent at construction. Maybe I could help with rebuilding?" He smiles at Eliath, "You could heal those in need! I am sure there are many here who need it." Kizori seems lost in thought for a few moments, unresponsive, before deciding, "Maybe I could build a hatchery to help keep people safe, since so much comes here to attack the town." Kizori looks towards the hills, "I'll need my wagon first, and some strong livestock." Kizori begins wandering towards the market side of town, hoping to find a farmer.

(I thought Kizori was travelling to Isa's with the group.)

(I'm embarrassingly confused about who is who, so mostly winging it. I thought I'd figure it out by now, so I thought he was with a different group.)

Croak ponies up his other 50gp. "I wasn't trying to get away with anything and I was telling the truth. The gold is from Kendrick and he has taken John as apprentice. Spend the hundred as you like, but Shalech keeps his. You couldn't pay me one thousand platinum to suffer his wound. If anyone in this town has earned it, it is him. Now, I would still like to hear what purpose you're using that gold for. And Shalec's right, unless that money goes toward a communal chicken coup or an ox and plow, these people will remain destitute, regardless of government"

 As the group happens upon the broken fence, "Any chance you grabbed the sword..."

"Croak looks at the pumpkins, looking for footprints or any indication how they were obliterated and relative time since destruction. Same with the fence. Investigation:15

"Dar, Isa, Who's property is this? And how much farther to Isa's place?

(No, sorry for the confusion.  Basically since you got to town you have met;

Dar, an old, but hansom man dressed in dark trousers and gray buttoned tunic, and a gray jacket.

Isa, a short old woman with thick glasses, dressed in a long purple sun dress with white cuffs and collar.  

Klandar is a broad dwarf, with long braided soot covered beard and hair; dressed in a large leather apron.

Terrin is the muscular female blacksmith.

Garrett is the young male blacksmith apprentice.

Han is an older man wearing blue wizards' robes.

The PCs should probably also describe themselves a bit.

As for what's happened; you followed the tracks the town, the citizens of the bad side of town freaked out, you ran into this group which helped solve the badger dragon problem, you joined up with the group, and on the way out of town to help this Isa lady, you found a dwarf in the blacksmith, and added the older gentleman named Han has joined the group and you are travelling to Isa's house.

Is that okay; or did you want to break from the group?)

(Dar is in town; the current group consists of Han, Isa, Nathan, Shalech, Croak, Urselles, Kizori and Eliath.  Sorry, I thought that everyone was following along, my apologies for an confusion.  If you have any questions; don't hesitate to ask.)

Han didn't grab any of the magic items.

Isa replies; "This is Johnson's farm.  We are about halfway to my place, maybe another mile ahead.  This damage wasn't here when I came to town the other day."
