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

"Not sure why we'd take on Redbrands if the Townmaster won't," Rabbit shrugs. "But maybe."  She looks over at Mau, "Back to the inn? We need anything else?" 

Quote from Culuril >>

"Not sure why we'd take on Redbrands if the Townmaster won't," Rabbit shrugs. "But maybe."  She looks over at Mau, "Back to the inn? We need anything else?" 

 Barthen shrugs.  "We all got our problems miss.  It ain't like the townmaster is some sort of warrior god.  Harbin was a banker before!  He's got bigger problems.  Any move on the Redbrands could cause more trouble in town.  Have you talked with him yet?  Harbin's a decent man.  Maybe you should talk with him first.  An careful of the Sleeping Giant, eh?  That's where them ruffians hang out."

"Sleeping Giant? That's a tavern?" Rabbit asks.  And she does listen to what Barthen has to say about the Townmaster. "Ok, ok. Perhaps we'll talk to him. You're right." 

"Aye, aye.  Ain't as nice as the Stonehill, which is probably why those thugs hang out there.  Take care miss."  Barthen yells at his assistants to get cracking unloading his supplies and then lock up.  He disappears behind the building into a house that you assume is his living area.

Mau listens in to the conversation silently, Rabbit seems to easily extract any information so why interfere.  He hops off the wagon as the assistants begin to unload it moving over to Rabbit.  “We’ve got the coin we came for, that’s all we needed.  Back to the Inn then, doubt there is much else we can do here before speaking with the town master.”  He turns and looks to Rabbit “unless you want to get eyes on these red brands.”

Rabbit smiles at Mau, "Tempting.  But I've already had arrows shot in my back today.  Think I'll get some rest and we'll see what happens tomorrow."

"True, we have seen our fair share of enemies this day, come let's return to the inn, I'm sure Wolfe will be looking for you." Mau says to Rabbit with a wry smile as he heads back towards Stonehill Inn.

Wolfe is likely still in his hot bath and quite content with that, although he wouldn't mind exploring the rest of Phandalin tomorrow after breakfast with the rest of the team ;-)

"Wolfe can live without me for a few hours.  I'm sure if he got his way he's occupied at the moment anyway," Rabbit says with a bit sharply as the pair heads back to the inn. "Been kinda pleasant here without him hovering."

Alright, so Mau and Rabbit return the the inn with a big pouch of gold.  You can decide to divide it up or keep it on you for now, Rabbit.

Krull, it's not your best work by any means and there is still meat left on the bones and some was wasted.  But you are able to get a decent amount off - enough for the 5 of you to have a great lunch tomorrow certainly.  Pip takes the bones and throws them in a big pot, pouring the hot water from the buckets into the pot.  "Don't worry mister, I'll get some more water fer yer bath."  Pip grins and takes the yoke and buckets off somewhere.  He returns moments later and takes the pot, then the cuts of meat, all back into the inn's kitchen.    Krull, as you collect your key and make your way upstairs, you open the bathing room....and see Wolfe still sitting in the tub.  You stand, blood all over you, in the doorway.  

"Hate to interrupt you  but can you do faster?I am covered all over with blood..it wasn't  a fight .. just a very stubborn wildboar that even after his death caused me trouble "

he looks around  and says with a smile "no company this time I see.." 

"No, fortunately the company left before someone barged in all covered in boar blood. If you could be so kind as to wait outside and I'll be sure to finish up here quickly." Wolfes answers the goliath. Assuming he leaves Wolfe finishes his bath, dresses and goes to his room, hoping to get some uninterrupted sleep at least before meeting up with the others at breakfast.

"of course.." says Krull and he waits outside. Once Wolfe finishes his bath will have a shower and will go to his room to get some uninterrupted rest

Rabbit will head to her room, holding onto the pouch of gold coins until morning. She is up right at the sunrise and will head down to grab some breakfast.  As everyone arrives, she will count out their portion. (There are 5 of us, right?  So 30 gp each.) 

Yep.  Everyone add 30gp to your inventories.

Next morning Wolfe gets down early and orders breakfast, waiting for someone to join him there to plan the day.

Krull wakes up full of energy.he goes down hungry ready to eat almost everything..as he sees Wolfe sitting all by his own he comes close and sits in one of the chairs "goodmorning !...are we the only ones who are awake?Well don't blame them..a lot of things happened "

Rabbit is down for breakfast very shortly after.  As she comes up to the table, she offers Krull and then Wolfe 30 gp each from an obviously well filled pouch.  Once she counts out the coins she very quickly secrets the pouch away beneath her cloak.  "Got paid for the job last night. Mau and I had to actually take the cart and deliver the supplies where they were supposed to go."  Her gaze seems to fix on Wolfe as she speaks.  "Evidently that was a better idea than abandoning the cart in the middle of the road." 

She then pulls out a chair and drops herself into it.  This morning she is back to wearing the fine, well-tailored black clothing that she had worn for most of the trip.  "So, what is in the cards today?  I hear the Redbrands like to hang out at the Sleeping Giant.  You thought we could get some money maybe from dealing with them, right Wolfe?"  She pauses a moment looking at the two others. "Probably we ought to check in with the Townmaster to see what he has to say on the matter first though. Perhaps he'd offer a bounty or something?  Or did you already do that Wolfe?  Oh, wait...  no, you were busy with that bath, right?" 

Rabbit seems to be in a good mood, a smug look on her face.  When a waitress comes over, she asks for a simple porridge and some water.  

"for the right price I might be interested into driving them away..but now let's say I will be friendly with those red..something.." says Krull to both of them..he leans back a bit "now there is the matter with Gundren..we need to talk to Sildar again"

Rabbit gives Krull a big smile. "You are a smart man Krull! I agree we need a very good price if we are going to take them on.  Just as we need a good offer from Sildar if we're going to go after Gundren."
