Misprize Thou Not These Shadows That Belong: Lost Mines of Phandelver

Krull seems satisfied "Master Sildar we managed to find him just on time!looks very weak but calithor  gave his best to make him feel better.We killed his captors but not that Spider! But we will find Spider and I ll bring his head as proof"

Margaret nods "we will make him pay for his crimes. but for now, gundrem needs medical attention. please, take care of him." it was a nice feeling, to finally be back to the city.

"We also found Gundren's bag," Rabbit mentions to Sildar. "It had some of the items we were looking for."  There's maybe the slightest hesitation, but she hands over the bag to Sildar. "We didn't take anything from it, since it probably all belongs to Gundren.  And we're happy to give you back your sword. We've got a few other things to sell. You have a recommendation of where best to do that?"  

After a moment's pause, she then continues, "Suppose you'll send us off with that map next?  Or what were you putting up on the board over there?"

"I'll do my best. He is my best friend after all." He frowns, "Sister Garaele is out on personal business, so I cant get her to help. I guess rest is best for him." He points towards the board "I hate to ask but do you think you can help with one of those quests? I will supply horses to get you there."

Town Crier quest board 

 Orcs have attacked Butterskull Ranch, five miles east of Conyberry along the Triboar Trail! Travel there with haste, assess the damage, and help any way you can. Ranch owner Alfonse Big Al Kalazorn is a retired sheriff who can reward you for your efforts. If he’s dead, return to return to Sildar  with proof of Kalazorn’s demise or life to receive a reward of 100 gp.”

“The Mountain’s Toe Gold Mine lies fifteen miles northeast of Phandalin. The new overseer, Don-Jon Raskin, just made the trip from Neverwinter to Phandalin and needs to be escorted to the mine. There’s no telling what dangers lie between here and there. Once you deliver Raskin safe and sound, return to Sildar to collect a reward of 100 gp.”

“Deep in Neverwinter Wood, along the river that flows west toward Neverwinter, is a logging camp. Every two months, Phandalin delivers fresh supplies to the camp, which is run by the half-brother of Phandalin’s townmaster, Harbin Wester. Barthen, the local provisioner, has prepared a new delivery. He needs someone to bare the supplies safely to the camp. Return to Sildar with a notice of delivery signed by Wester's half-brother, Tibor Wester, to claim your reward of 100

(I think you can do at least one, or two of these. tell me if you've done these already.)

 

Rabbit gets a skeptical look on her face, "Horses?"  She goes over to read through the list on the board. "Is the Mountain's Toe Mine on the way to Butterskull Range?" she asks Sildar. "Or kinda on the way?  Because deep in Neverwinter Wood sounds like a long ways to go!" 

Sildar looks inwards with thought "Butterskull ranch is about 65 miles ten miles north to the tribor trail from Phandalin then follow the Tribor trail eastwards. But I would avoid Cornyberry The ruins are rumored to be haunted. And yes, Toe Mountain Mine is on the way Fifteen miles Northeast of here. He marks these on your map."  

"I would say that you wouldn't make it back here for Gundren's recovery if you went to the logging camp. Cause it would be best to head northwest up the High Road then follow the Neverwinter river east, course there is  a logging road that cuts due north thru the woods."

"We need supplies before we leave.Its a long trip.Also we need Beer!loads of it..i ll buy some flasks !you know to lift our spirit.i ll sing if I have too! Oh and we ll have to sell some of those equipment we found." suggests Krull as he looks at the map.."Now orcs is something to kill but evil spirits?not easy K.O  what do you say?"

Rabbit re-reads the board. "Orcs... mine... forest. Krull, where do you get evil spirits? Where are you even suggesting we go?" She looks at the big man a moment then continues. "I suggest we escort this Don-Jon to his mine, then continue to Butterskull Ranch - avoiding Conyberry." 

She looks at the others. "We finish that, come back, and see how Gundren is healing. Ok?"

"And yea, we'll sell stuff." She makes no mention of beer. Or singing.

"Conyberry said master Sildar to avoid it cause the ruins are haunted" says as he points at the map tracing their route to their destination 

Calithor nods at Rabbit's plan, "Tell me where is best to sell the items, and I will do that this afternoon. Then, perhaps, a night in a soft bed before we set out?"

"beer is important! i'm with krull. maybe we can try the equipments meanwhile, the magical statues and both staffs can be useful for something!" she comments abrout the magical items they found, smiling as she studies the map

"Umm... sure Calithor, soft bed,"  Rabbit says, then looks at Sildar. "Getting to the ranch sounds urgent, but I suppose Don-Jon would want to travel at first light? We good to rest up for tonight?"

"And yes, we'll see about selling stuff. If Sildar had no other ideas I guess we try Barthen's."

"I am in!there is nothing like a good beer and some nice beef and perhaps some music !we sell what we don't need and then we buy supplies and then we drink.Yeah I like this plan " says krull proudly 

Sildar looks in thought, as he helps place Gundren to bed and says "I'm afraid, that the town is pretty poor and needs to recover from the Redbrands pilfering their resources. I, myself will give you 200 gold for the weapons, since the town needs an armory, and the recovery of my sword and armor." (Insight brings you that the blood is Sildar's) He looks in the bag. "Well, I'll be, you found the map too, Gundren will be happy about that." He reaches in and hands you the three potions of healing "I'm sure, my friend will want you to have, these."

"You guys look tired and just got in, its near sunset. So yes Don-Jon Raskin, will have to wait. I'll get in contact with him and get him to meet you in the morning in the town square at sunrise."

" 

Rabbit seems to consider Sildar's offer for a moment, "Ok. The 200 gold seems reasonable. Especially if the weapons help the town. And the items that are yours... of course they should go to you."  She glances to the others for confirmation. "I guess the rest - magical or just valuables - we should hang on to for now?" 

When he hands over the healing potions from Gundren's bag, she takes them.  "Perfect, we had one other, so one for each of us."  She hands a potion of healing to Krull, Margret, and Calithor.  Then keeps one herself. (OOC - Everyone should make 1 potion of healing on the inventory. And just to make sure, Krull took the greataxe? If he doesn't, should we assume it went to the town then?) 

Once that is settled, Rabbit gives the others a smile. "Time to relax and to rest! Think I'll grab a drink and something warm to eat. Anyone else coming?" 

(Krull will keep the greataxe but the chainmail he ll sell it)

Krull says  cheering "You bet I am coming!Haha food,beer, music and chatting after a journey.maybe we can play throwing axes or daggers "

Krull says  cheering "You bet I am coming!Haha food,beer, music and chatting after a journey.maybe we can play throwing axes or daggers "

 (OOC - The chainmail belongs to Sildar. Rabbit was giving it to him. Unless you are objecting to that?) 

(Nope not at all. They got the gold so he is satisfied)

Calithor nods again, "Keeping the magic seems sensible. I'm sure one of us will find a use for it one day."

With the mundane items sold he is happy to take his share of the coins and return to the inn.

Krull ready to go turns to the rest "now come and let's drink!we deserve to have fun .if anyoneasks for me I ll be at the Inn "and takes his leave
