Modesty considers the party, and everything they Have gone through. " I see some of you have collected some sweet gear, some of those magical swords are worth 2000gp alone. We have recovered 2400gp in unclaimed Monies from Irene's personal effects, there was multiple small pouches found in a larger sack; I highly doubt she...or he I suppose, received those funds by any legitimate means." Modesty smiles " since this was not an official sanctioned job, it's unlikely the town will open its coffers; but since I haven't lodged this gold as evidence, it's not officially town property...." She hands the gold over to Malachi to distribute to the group.
This is largely the end of the Adventure guys. Feel free to ask questions or find out more about items of interest.
The clerics return everyone to their natural state. Helewyn, who is both cleric and guard, singlehandedly knocked his bear hybrid adversary into next week; the half-orc underneath the bear mask is receiving medical aid.
Modesty rallies the guards and they Corden off the crime scene. Items of evidence are taken, and statements from the guests upstairs are taken.
After giving his statement, Polpo the dwarf looks through the corpses recovered from the basement lab. Spotting his missing sister he begins wailing uncontrollably.
The Tabaxi handmaid is found and taken into custody to be charged.
The Cambion who named himself Akro is older than you or I; once upon some time ago he went by Prospero, and before that, who knows. The Aureum is group dedicated to fighting against the growing agenda of hell on other realms; we used to have multiple Deva amongst our ranks (typical angels versus demons), the end goal was to chase Akro to his home plane and kill him in both Spirit and body. We had thought we were successful in this until we received reports of Akro's MO once again. I was sent as an advance scout to investigate if Akro had in deed succeeded in returning to the material plane.
"Harissa, I'm sorry that we've likely made your goal of entirely destroying Akro more difficult to achieve. Will you be departing Haven now, or would you be able to stay a while? I'm also here to look out for malevolent beings traversing the planes, though my abilities are evidently far less than yours. Perhaps our respective groups could benefit from a collaboration, or at least you could teach me more of the Aureum and their mission. Oh, and pardon my naivete, but are you ... a deva?" He finishes his statement in a hushed voice and with a slight blush on his cheeks. He know it's a little fanboyish to ask, but he can't help himself.
Here I might need Technopagan to help out ( I lost a few thread links for downtime, and can't find them in the DM drive)
You all have 24 days of downtime to spend. We have a rolling downtime thread with a few rules on the first post, and I believe we are all still using the downtime form.
That's 400gp each of us. Is everyone okay with the distribution of Magic items or should be discuss? Malichi wound up with both the disguise hat and the +1 rapier. Anyone without an item want the disguise hat?
Also, anyone know the front door to those downtime pages?
The "map" of Haven is here. There is a directory of what we've got mapped out so far. This thread is for reference. No player posts here. Currently Downtime options are set up for Drusilla's Forest, the Copper Dragon Tavern and Myk's Magic Shoppe. I hope to have Town Hall and Thia's Apothecary set up today (been saying that for a while now). After that, the Greasy Weasel Tavern and the Temple of Tymora. The Haven between Adventures thread is here. It's an experiment where PCs can roll-play downtime. You earn one Downtime day for each day you post there. There's no posting requirements, no advancement checkmarks and no story aside from what the PCs create there. If there is somewhere you want to spend Downtime days that hasn't been set up yet, let me know what you're looking for, a sword smith in the Crafts? A tailor in the Shopps? Let me know and I'll get it set up.

He finishes his statement in a hushed voice and with a slight blush on his cheeks. He know it's a little fanboyish to ask, but he can't help himself.
"No not a Deva. One of our party, Kara, is; but there have been fewer in number over the years. I'm just a warlock, though if you promise not to tell anyone, I do have celestial heritage" Harissa smiles. " You haven't made anything harder, Akro likes to hide in plain sight, it's ordinary people who discovered him last time, and again today. However, we know for certain where he is headed and he can't disguise him there; we will continue to hunt him. I will have to report back to the Aureum, and will form part of the force who will descend into Dis to hunt Akro."
"The Aureum is an alliance of celestials, heavenly bodies, and regular mortals who have sworn an oath to prevent forces like Akro, and the master's he serves, from bringing destruction to this plane. I would be interested in hearing more about you and the group you serve..?"
So, the hat is worth 5000-6000gp according to one source, so you could sell it and split the money 5 ways... ;)
Well since nobody else has tried out the Downtime options I will. Let's see what happens. Using one downtime day, looking to buy a Quiver of Ehlonna and sell the Hat of disguises. I offer 300gp for the quiver and will see if I can get 1000gp for the hat.
Quiver is uncommon so DC is 15 so I roll 1d20+3 (Arcana bonus)
6
Okay, they have one to sell for 1d6x200gp
800
Oof! Way out of my league (they sell for more than they buy)
I roll for negotiation
9 (Seriously?)
They really don't seem to like Malichi there, offering it for 880gp but no complications
They'll pay 1d6*50 for uncommon Magic items
100
Negotiate: 8
So, they'll pay up to 330gp for it but not near the 1000gp I was looking for so no sale either direction
We can check around, or do you think the numbers need to be adjusted (this is, after all, just the first attempt)
The offer seems a little low to me. What do others think?
In current formula uncommon would sell to Myk for 50-300 (avg 175) and Myk would turn around and sell it for 200-1200 (avg 700). That's a 400% markup, which is a healthy profit for Myk, to be sure.
In the Negotiation phase, I think Persuasion would be more applicable than Arcana.
Geez, numbers for magic items are all over the map. Per the "Sane Magical Prices" doc, Hat of Disguise is 5000gp, but per XGtE126, uncommon item price is 1d6x100gp. For selling in XGtE133, it's 200-600gp depending on your Persuasion check and then minus 25gp for what amounts to a finder's fee. I think the shop bots that I've seen in Discord, they probably used the XGtE rules, but I can't say for sure. I think we just need to pick one source and go with it.
"Harissa, I'm sorry that we've likely made your goal of entirely destroying Akro more difficult to achieve. Will you be departing Haven now, or would you be able to stay a while?

"Fascinating. While I do not have knowledge of the Aureum, I imagine my liege, the High Lady Ordalf of Karador, knows of your organization. She is a powerful LeShay, so much so that she is able to move the entire city from the Feywild to Faerun and back. I serve her and my people, the Llewyr, in monitoring planar conflicts. We Llewyr are something in between high elves and the eladrin, so we have some natural ability in traversing the planes. If you would like to meet with the High Lady, I'm sure that she would enjoy sharing her experiences with the Aureum. I can attempt to contact her on your behalf. I do wish you the best of luck in destroying Akro once and for all and I sincerely hope that your travels bring you back to Haven! I will make sure that you and the Aureum are always welcome here."
I would also appreciate any feedback. Please PM me what you liked, what you didn't, and how I can improve for future games.
Thank you all for playing, you have been fun to work with :).
Many thanks to you, @Potaido_, for rescuing this adventure and providing a fun and sane time. I think you did a great job, particularly with inheriting this and in the middle of a move!
"Respect to all of yous, that was a skragging good fight. I look forward to workin' with you all again."
He looks around at the group, and then over at the tiefling to his left. His face splits into a grin
"But right now, I have a date"
He takes Zula's hand and leads her out of the room into Haven.
"Brilliant work by you as well, Skrach. Your fighting spirit is as large as your personality. Best of luck to you and your new friend and I'll see you around town. I'd be excited to adventure with you again any time!"
Modesty considers the party, and everything they Have gone through. " I see some of you have collected some sweet gear, some of those magical swords are worth 2000gp alone.

I see the downtime link in the post for the Copper Dragon. I do NOT see a similar link at Drusilla's or at Myk's.
Ah, now i see it... it just looks different at the last two.
I think there's only five of us, since Dexan dropped out. So 480 each.
You're right. I wasn't sure what the deal was with Dexan.

where is the algorithm you are using?
OK, I found it in the DM drive. So normally, if a player submitted this request, would a DM roll for them?
The offer seems a little low to me. What do others think?
