(I'm out of town this weekend, so will leave it with people getting a long rest, so feel free to recover your hit points etc. If you click your character's name on their tab, there is a rest function built in)

Sorry, didn't notice you retroactively added the roll for Realgâr.

Realgâr looks at the ores and decides that they are copper, iron, and tin. It looks like these may be on the way to a smith to be smelted down. By the looks of the blue lion on the box, it may be some sort of company that uses this trade route.

(Would he be able to roll to see if he knows the company, or where else he might have seen that symbol? If I need to roll anything else I will)

Realgâr inspects and appraises the ores, determining they could be valuable to a smithy or foundry to make bronze, as well as copper and iron. He is more interested in the ore rather than the scimitar he picked up so he puts that on the ground for someone else to take.

If he is able, during his time on watch he will reorganize his pack to make room for ores he can sell later for the group. If nothing else, he stuffs some in his pants in whatever crevasses he can. Anything for a profit.

He'll drag the crate of ore by the entrance so we don't forget them then continues his watch.

Randaler sleeps and dreams of his childhood... the happy days playing in the field outside of village... then the day grey dark, and the huge winged beast descended on the village without warning... fire swept through every hut and hovel. His parents... he ran for the cover of the forest, and watched in horror as everyone and everything he knew was burned and taken away...

When he woke, Randaler, was covered in sweat, but at least his wounds were healing and he felt more himself. HE rose quickly, arranged his things, and took his turn on watch.

(Randaler will also make sure all of the coins and valuables they found are split up so it can all be carried with them.)

So after people's resting, they find that they have managed to patch themselves up and didn't get interrupted during the night. As they get up, they can see that Sildar is also waking up. He's not in the best of states, but not on the brink of death anymore. It's amazing what a good night's sleep can do. He looks around to the others. "Hail, I recall meeting you at the gates of Waterdeep the other day." He says with a warm smile, sitting up with a slight groan. "You have my thanks for rescuing me."

"No worries mate" Mary says as she passes him some jerky and bread.

Kres wakes up and stretches as he stands, he rolls his shoulders and flexes hiz legs and wings, to get the stiffness out of his muscles and joints.

"I am glad we are okay, that was a difficult fight. I am glad to see you are well." Kres says to Sildar.

Chad

”Tis was not a problem for a wizard such as myself to dispatch the goblin hoard.” I take a bow and a small show of fireworks burst behind me. 

Sildar strains slightly to get to his feet. He is still within his chainmail, as it looks heavy on the aged human. "Those dastardly goblins caught us off-guard on the trail." He says with a look of regret and slight annoyance. "Their boss, that bugbear you killed, said something of 'the black spider' needing Gundren. They took him off somewhere, where it is I don't know." He looks to the group. "I think my weapons will be stuck back in that room you rescued me in somewhere. I may be getting on in my years, but an extra blade is always needed."

(Anyone have any questions for Sildar? It's a good time to ask him while he's getting up)

Chad

”what the hell is “the black spider?!” Doesn’t sound like something I want to get involved with. But it also sounds like we don’t get paid if Gundren dies.....

As the group questions Sildar, Randaler goes to the room he mentioned to retrieve his weapons, and see if there is anything else of interest there.

Perception Check: 25

"I don't know." Sildar replies to Chad in full Ernest. "That's what I overheard while we were taken prisoner. Whoever, or whatever, this black spider is, Gundren's gone to them now."

Randaler takes a moment to return to the cave. He goes up to the ledge where Yeemik was holding Sildar and finds a bundle of items stashed in a corner behind a stalagmite. It seems to contain a longsword, a crossbow, heavy with 20 bolts, an explorer's pack and a few other small bits and bobs kept within the backpack.

Chad

”Well Gentleman, I suggest we make hast before it’s too late for Gundren. How bad can a spider really be?” I start to pack my belongings and head out of the mouth of the cave looking for Gurko. 

Sildar glances over Chad's attire. "Hmm... I thought your lot were more a Baldur's Gate group." He comments. "Regardless, I suggest we head to Phaldalin first. It is not much further and we need to speak with Gundren's contacts. He and his kin were in the middle of business and might know something we don't." He pauses for a second. "I also have some other business there, I need to speak with a wizard in Phandalin, they may also be of assistance, should they still be there."

"To Phaldalin then."

Realgâr grabs the ore, then takes the 2nd position behind Randaler who is likely scouting ahead of the group.

"Yes, let us make haste, we can't let them harm Gundren." 

"Yes, we can discuss more on the journey." Sildar says, rolling his shoulders, the chainmail making slight clinking noises as he gets ready to move out.

As the group gets towards the entrance of the cave, they can hear the two remaining wolves have started fighting one another. Looking into the cave, it looks like they are both fighting over the remains of Klarg's remains, given its their only nearby food source.

(As for the boxes of ore, it may be best to bring the cart around and attempt to put the remainder of the goods alongside those that you were initially contracted to escort)

Mary approaches the wolves with some jerky from her rations to attempt sate their hunger.

Animal Handling : 8 + Bardic Inspiration : 2

(Scratch one of Mary's rations)

Mary goes over to the two fighting wolves and manages to get their attention enough to get them to start feasting down on the food she has provided. They seem to stop fighting and just eat as quickly as they can.

Randaler makes sure to get as much "loot" as possible from the cave and stows it in the wagon before taking the lead position and scouting the road ahead as they make their way along to Phaldalin. 

OOC: How much did the group find in total between what was in the box, the ore, and any additional supplies they can gather from the crates that were in the cave? Certainly gonna need to do some shopping once we get to Phaldalin! 

Chad

I look over at Mary. “Let’s just cut these beasts loose of their chains. Seems they have a liking for you.” At the mouth of the cave, I yell for Gurko and look for tracks headed away from the cave. 

Survival: 7
