Adventures in Fellneral

Tom meanwhile looks around the Inn to see if it is in need of entertainment.

Osborn, having zero skill at a bow and no compulsion to ruin the guy's hustle (or draw attention to himself), turns and moves through the crowd again to rejoin the Squad, still in human child form.

"Just a charlatan, obvious hustle.  I was worried it might be a threat to the town but it seems we may proceed to get PAID!"

He follows the others to the inn, returning to dapper halfling form at a point where no passersby might notice.

"I see you've brought more people, no need for complication, I'll pay you all" He puts down five bags of twenty five gold, each also containing a paper coupon for 25 percent of on one potion in  Flickwit's Fabulous Potions. There is already entertainment a half elf playing a small fast song on a lute.

"Well, thank you very much Flickwit," Ghathi says in response to the bags of gold being offered up.  Seeing the paper he adds, "You actually make potions yourself? What kinds?" 

Tom hesitantly takes one of the bags of gold and slowly counts the coins. "My gosh, so this is the reward of adventuring. Umm, can I stay on with the squad a little while longer?" He says pleadingly, looking at Osborn.

"Of course!" says Osborn in reply to Tom's question as he picks up his own bag, "Although to be honest our backlog of work just cleared, so we may need to canvass for new employment"

Turning to Flickwit, he says "Thank you good sir for a contract well honoured.  Do you know of where we may find further employment, in town or nearby?"

He rolls the coin bag into one of his pouches, satisfied at the extra weight it seems to carry for being honestly earned.

Orin scoops up his gold and immediately goes over to the bar and orders the largest ale they have before heading back to the table. After taking several gulps "Ahhh, that hit the spot. Yes indeed we seem to be an able group. We could definitely make some more money together." He then takes a few more gulps before belching loudly.

In response to Ghathi's question Flickwit says "Many kinds, come on down to the shop some time any you'll see!" And the leaves the inn

Ghathi thanks Flickwit, and agrees to stop by his shop at some point.

Hearing Gromedark, he turns to him. "So what exactly is this treasure chest? What's in it?"

 "Yes, can we see what's inside, please?" Tom says, big eyes, clapping his hands in excitement.

Osborn blinks after Flickwit, his question unanswered.  He orders an ale and watches satisfied as Gromedark reveals the chest's contents.

"So much coin Gromedark, we must celebrate then." Tom says smiling widely, almost dancing around with joy, but soon stumbling into a burly half-orc. "Oh, so sorry mister half-orc, how clumsy of me." Tom says, slowly backing away, trying to hide behind Ghathi and Gromedark.

"Yea, that is a lot.  So you guys are ok with me sticking with you Munchkins too?  How do we find more jobs?  I've only worked as a mason before."  Ghathi says after peering at the chest.

He eventually becomes aware of Tom pushing behind him. "What are you doing?" He isn't really paying any attention to the half-orc.

"Oh, sorry Ghathi" Tom says and discreetely makes the goliath aware of the burly half-orc.
Stealth to hide behind Ghathi:13

Osborn uses disguise self to fashion himself a pair of reading glasses and a green visor, saying "Yes of course! Looking forward to putting the coins into lots and LOTS of little piles"

Ghathi turns and is finally aware of the half-orc. "Well hello! Is there something I can help you with?" he says, giving him a friendly smile.

The half orc looks at you "Ugh, no, I was going to grab another beer, I am fine" He says in a slow, deep voice.

Ghathi nods to the half-orc then looks back at Tom. "Tom, what did you do to that poor fellow?"  

He chuckles and looks at the others. "And what are the Munchkins going to do now? How do you guys find jobs?" 

"Oh, umm, nothing." Brief pause "Well I sort of was excited over the contents of that chest and happened to stumble into Mr. half-orc over there, and, well, you know, barfights have started over less than that." Tom says sheepishly to Ghathi. "But yes, how do adventurers get into new adventures?" He then asks the original Munchkin squad members.

"Oh, rumors, I can help out with that later." Tom says as he follows along into Gromedarks room.
