Talien will carry his torch with him unless someone objects. He will also take any of the unclaimed loot from these drops (please note if you take something) (he has a few projects to work on at the forge) (Anyone have the full cash count we are splittingfrom the time we added Meepo to our party? I know Meepo got all of the coins from the Wererat, but did we split any other loot coin-wise with him?) (Don't want to add too much 'stuff'to myself but then again I need to be sure to get the coins at least, Talien loves to collect coins after all)
Talien will then show Meepo how to care for the weapon and also teach him more about safety. Once this is completed he will check all of the entrances/exits for any signs of enemies. and possible fortification/alarm options. (Reinforcing a door with a bar)(setting out string and bells)
Meepo drinks in your words with awe, "Meepo be like Talien one day... Meepo learn how use big shiny sword! Meepo defeat all enemies!"
Make a perception check please for signs of enemies.
Chatra, I want to show you something one of my instructors taught us very early. I hold out my hand, palm up and start wiggling my fingers.
See these fingers? Each one is pretty weak. If I let you grab one, you could bend it back and break it pretty easily. I curl my hand into a fist. When those five fingers come together for a common purpose, they are much stronger. They can accomplish a lot.
I stick my pinky finger out while keeping the rest curled. But when one doesn't come together, it is just as susceptible sticking out there without any commonality. Pause
Now my instructor didn't actually stick his pinky out. He just jabbed the smart-ass in the face and broke his nose once he made his fist.
After another pause. If you don't want to be here, if you think you made a mistake, we can divide up the proceeds now and you can be on your way. It's should be a safe, easy trip out. Go sing in a tavern if that's what you want. But you're pissing people off, people who you are going to need if you stay. And if you don't really think that you need us, I suggest thinking back to our fight with that walking bramble bush yesterday.
Alten finishes his speech, waits for a second to see if Chatra repsonds. If he doesn't then Alten gets up and walks over to check on the others.
Chatra just sits there dumbstruck by your story. He looks down at his feet and doesn't say much of anything. As you get up to leave he says, "I'd like to stick with the group... not going to get famous from just singing in a tavern. I'll try harder to get along with everyone I suppose. I'm not so different from Rees and Arxius you know. I might... Uh.. I might actually need protection more than them... I admit. Don't kick me out just yet." He doesn't say anything more after that, but looks down at his feet again in contemplation.
Arxius will lead the group back to the door they walked past. Snacking on bits from her kit as she goes. She nudges Rees as they walk. "Good?" she asks quietly.
Grom will join the group in following where ever they lead.. he will pull out his spell book and read and study his notes trying to understand what happened..
He will summon ungrim and give him a light stick and tell ungrim to follow close to Rees and do as she commands untill I tell him otherwise
"Yes, Meepo should have the quiver, I believe. He is the only one of us without one," Arxius responds to Alten. "The extra pack will be useful, considering a new map there is no telling how long we could be down here. I would prefer to go as long as possible without having to eat the rats. Rees will take the armour should nobody else wish to take it."

Nice work Grom. I appologize. I presumed you were more experienced in your arcane arts. Congrats on what sounds like your first kill.
First kill no... First time Expanding that much arcane energy in one day yet alone a few min... well yes... most of my magical experience has come with simple incantations, and rituals like how I create ungrim or doing the detect or identity spell I have they are relatively simple.. I have tried to do "higher level" magic in the past but it has never worked out.. this time it worked not once... but twice.. and with great success.. but it seems not only is there growning pains but kind of a limit to my power as I thought there would be I just didnt know what it would be like to hit that limit...
Well, now you know. My teachers told us that magic is like your muscles. The more you exercise and do, the stronger you become. I'm close to working a few basic spells beyond my limited healing abilities. I'm hopeful that my prayers and devotion pays off soon.
Anything on that ring?

Looking back at him.
If someone kicks you out, it will be Chatra, not me.
Let's go. This Citadel isn't getting explored with us sitting on our asses. I'm sure everyone will need protection before this is all over with.

Chatra slaps his legs and gets up, "Right.. let's move on then."
Arxius will lead the group back to the door they walked past. Snacking on bits from her kit as she goes. She nudges Rees as they walk. "Good?" she asks quietly.

Do any of you stealthy types want to upgrade to studded leather armor or does anyone want to swap a short bow for a long bow?
Taking the extra pack is probably a good idea with the extra waterskin and rations. Meepo can have the quiver to store his bolts in?

Rees nods to Arxius, offering a slight smile. "Good."
Turning to Alten, she shrugs, "If no one else wants it, I wouldn't mind an armor upgrade but my bow is fine."

"Hey Chatra, why dont u let me have a look at that ring u found why dont we found out what it does"

DM Note: Good to know about the light, thank you.
"Sure why not.. I'm a team player after all.." Chatra says as he tosses Grom the ring.
DM Note: Grom you read the inscription "Karakas" out loud and remember hearing the name before. Sent you a DM.
During the sitting around, search, etc time before moving out, Alten would try to take time to speak to each party member.
Rees and Arxius (assuming they stay together)
Everything good ladies? Nice shooting on the rats and the WereRat
to Grom

To Alten:
"Good. And, uh... you know... thanks. For before. You know...with the poison. I owe you."

No thanks necessary and no debt owed. I'm sure you'll get the chance to return the favor soon enough.

"Yes, thank you for saving her," Arxius says, her posture stiff and expression somewhat pained. She's not entirely accustomed to thanking people.
Arxius, Elven Simic Hybrid Ranger in Tales from the Yawning Portal
Alten just gives Arxius a serious nod and moves on to Grom.
