New adventure

definitely time to go did he say something about a hunting party returning soon?

While we collect all of the items that we have recovered within the castle, I make a quick check in rooms that wa didn’t search already.

In the room with the dead Grick there is a stone brazier containing a mound of coal, buried under which is a gold statuette of a sun elf wrapped in crimson cloth.  On the alter in the next room are a Censer, a chalice, and a dagger all made of gold.  On the floor next to the alter is a sealed scroll with unrecognizable writing.  Nothing is discovered in the other rooms.

Where does the group want to go next?  Rest ..... Neverwinter ...... Phandelver ...... straight to the mines?

I think there were several who wanted to go to Neverwinter first.

While Thagakh looks at the map to see where is Wave Echo Cave in respect to Neverwinter and Phandalin, he asks Gundren.

"So dwarf boss, do you want to stay at Neverwinter or Phandalin? We're planning on stopping for a bit at Neverwinter to buy and sell stuff, and then travel back to Phandalin where Sildar is staying."

whichever way we go we need to rest- preferably NOT here

Gundren looks at the tired and beaten group, “We definitely need to move on from here.  Since I have been here, there have been scores of Goblin, Hobgoblin, Bugbear and even some Drow.  I doubt this location will not be crawling with bad guys soon.  If you need something important in Neverwinter, let’s hurry on.  I owe you for rescuing me but if you will help me with Wave Echo Cave, I will give you each a 5% stake in all the mine produces.  I don’t know if my brothers are still alive but I must try to save them.  The mine is not too far from Phandelver.  We can rest and restock there.”  He pauses to see what you all say.

"Meh, I can always wait for a shopping trip to Neverwinter another time.  Let's go see if your brothers are in need of help.  Rest and restocking in Phandelver will do for me." Boghadair says.

same here, otherwise it seems like unfinished business, but again we should depart this place

i’d have liked to do some research in Neverwinter but time seems to be of the essence. Let us try to save your brothers and liberate our mine.

"Thagakh is fine going back to Phandalin but let's hurry, that bugbear just said there is a hunting party coming back here."

The half-orc checks the wagon outside to prepare their departure.

It is about 3 miles to the wagon but outside the edge of the castle is a pack horse and a riding horse (property of the doppelgänger).  It is another 20 miles to Phandelver.  Almost all of it by commonly traveled roads.  The group safely arrives in Phandelver with all items from there two trips.  Gundren pays each character 25 gold plus a days stay in the Inn.

OOC:  the daggers that were taken earlier have been accepted.  They are called Cult daggers of the Dragon lords.

OOC: You just need to edit your character sheet to accept homebrew items to equip them

OOC:  Sweet!   Congrats on the daggers getting Homebrew approval. 

Out of curiosity,  is there a way we can have a running total of all the loot we got from that little adventure? 

OOC:  I will post it all in a bit.

maybe we should look into renting some warehouse space. we could set up a shop at this rate.

otherwise i can always look into moving this once we get back to Neverwinter.

Well there is an old manor house in  Phandelver  thats pretty much empty now

Arafiel gives a wry smile
