Goraseth finds himself dreaming of him giving the killing blow on the white dragon with a flaming sword. "I must say that the tales of such a mighty sword is appealing ! Do you think we have time to quickly sell my old armor and orcish weapons we looted ? You go  quickly go to the exchange and ask for information and we meet in half an hour here ?"

Goraseth then walks quickly to the weapon and armor dealer. "Good morning Linene, it is always such a blessing to see you. I am here, in between duties, to see if you would be interrested in this very nice chain mail and this orcish greataxe. I could us some money, maybe to buy new items from your shop. Would you make a good price fro a good friend ? I will tell everybody how good is your welcome and how good are your weapons !"
Persuasion: trying to be as nice as possible to get a better price = 21

"Deal," says Tryn while he turns around and directs quick small steps towards the Miner's Exchange. Once there, he knocks and asks politely if there is any property for sale near the town that could serve as their foothold.

Goraseth you thanks to your roll you can sell your armour for 80% of original price and the axe for its 50%. As for miners exchange Tryn you get the information that this will not exactly be selling and buying land and rather claiming it. You find a nice patch of land that you like and come to the miners exchange, they do the paperwork for you for a fee, and make official land owning documents for you that are recognizable trough united cities. The fee would be 10 gold (here around phandalin) for a patch of land enough to host some kind of house and some land around.  Posting mobile from work.

Tharanau pockets the money Tryn hands out - and then gives Tryn 2.5 GP back to be a nominee on the deed for the building site they claimed together. 
He is starting to like this new life. At least it seemed like an ok and steady income, more than he usually could earn 

While the others wander around town, Tharanau tries to find a way to send some money to his family, that he abandoned. Maybe he can find a trustworthy courier or merchant. He would then send 10 GP plus a small trinket, like a nice hair comb, which cost him maybe 2 GP. Eran was gonna turn 20 this year, and Billa would turn 18 in two weeks time. He was hoping, the money would reach them in time (or at all, he was always worried) to celebrate her birthday. And the little ones? Probably not so little anymore. He tried to hold back his tears while drinking a couple of pints at the Inn. 

Once at the miner’s exchange and buying land after consulting with his party, Tryn also inquires where he could find able craftsmen to build a building on their new land. (Everyone who hasn’t and wants to participate can subtract 25 silver coins from their treasure).

Goraseth comes out of the shop with 75 gp in the pocket and joins the others. He pays his 2.5 gp for the fee and on top of that gives 15 gp to his three companion as a token of his gratitude to roam the roads with them. He asks "Would that piece of land has a house or do we need to build one ?"

So that's 15 gp for each of you, Seth keeps 27.5 gp

After consulting with Goraseth and the others, Tryn applies for joint ownership of the big hill east of Phandalin. As Goraseth noticed, there are ruins on it and they might be able to restore it. Perhaps, only parts of it at first but it does sound like a really nice place with good access to town and one has to start somewhere. 

To the group Tryn comments, "I've been thinking and wondering if we could go by the name 'Wardens of the North Wind'. That name would be a hint at Goraseth's faith, since Bahamut is also known as the Lord of the North Wind. Actually, working against the schemes of an evil dragon would be very much aligned with Bahamut's ideals. What do you all think?"

"I love that idea ! But what about ... The Lucky Warden of the North Wind ... or   The Smiling Warden of the North Wind  ... then it would also be a nice hint at Lady Tymora, your patron Tryn..." Goraseth winks.

Seth has 80 gp if the deeds is a bit more expensive for the ruins. I am hoping for the deed to be not too expensive - the renovation, though, will take us some time and money !

When you inquire about The ruins on the hill, you learn that they are very old and very ruined. In the miners exchange you have been told to speak with Townmaster about the permit to buy this land, but to first talk to the locals about it, since it is reportedly haunted.
After talking with the locals, that is exactly what you hear, but being led to some older folks living in phandalin you learn, that It's cellars were inhabited by evil mage and monsters long time ago, some adventurers took care of him, but soon after that the place started to swarm with undead. Many men of phandalin gathered up to fight that threat and managed to push undead back to the ruins and seal the entrances to the cellar. Who knows what might dwell there now.
Townmaster says that he would be willing to let you claim that hill with a manor, as you proved to be useful to phandalin and he hopes you would be in future. But to let you do that he would require you first to purify the cellars of the undead. Otherwise it could go bad, not to mention no one would agree to work there before that.

/Feel free to ask more question to any of those informations. Renovating could then go bit by bit. So you can expect similar cost that i gave before for the first bit, to give you some space./
Also updated map at last :P.

"The Smiling Wardens of the North Wind," Tryn tastes the words. "That is... a very agreeable name. How do the rest of you feel about that?" he asks Thraranau and Progo. 

"Perhaps, if we hurry, we can still arrive to the excavation site before nightfall and warn the dwarfs about the dragon. Maybe they let us stay with them, and we could continue to this dwarfen stronghold, Axeholm, early in the morning. With this we could get another 300gp quite fast. Then, when we return we investigate the mansion and clear it out, so that repairs can start before we do a longer trip to recover that sword and enter the Neverwinter Forest? Maybe when we return we can already move in!" Tryn says excited after digesting and sharing all the news about the mansion.

"Progo is free spirt who like to travel and see what the world has to offer. But Progo also sees its nice to a place to return to. Probably haunted mention still safer then Progos old tribe Progo grew up in. It is settled, Progo agrees."

"Smiling Wardens of the North Wind, hmm it has potential but doesn't roll off the tongue quite right. Perhaps Wardens of the Smiling North Wind, or Wardens of the North Winds Smile, or Luck of the North Winds. Hmm nah that makes us sound like we are just lucky and not skillful. Wardens of the North Winds Luck."

Tharanau scratches his beard. "How about "The Valiant Vangards of the North Wind"... " He mulls over multiple options, but it doesn't come out quite right.

Then he says to the group. "How about something simple. I suggest: "Phandalin's Finest: Forged in Bravery, United by Glory!" We can still work on the slogan of course."

Later he discusses travel options with Tryn and agrees to the general outline. "I also think we should head to the mine first, after that a safe place for the people of Phandalin should be our priority, so Axeholm. Then return and inspect the manor before heading out for a longer loop, taking supplies and all."

In a quiet moment Tharanau speaks to Progo. "You spoke about your old tribe. What happened? Why did you leave?"

Goraseth listens carefully and after some thinkink, adds: "OK we're getting there for our brand, it's not urgent, we'll find it. For our new goals, it seems we all agree then. Let's go warn the dwarves then secure AxelHolm as a sanctuary for the villagers. We then come back, secure our new manor and  and bring the person to the mine. Maybe as a payment, we could ask special price on mining materials to renovate our New acquisition ?"

Before leaving, Goraseth will buy 10 rations and ask around what people know about AxelHorm.

So you embark on another journey, It is afternoon, but you are sure you can make it to the excavation site before sundown. But just when you think you are about to get to the destination, it has gotten dark pretty quick, moment ago you have been admiring the sunset, and suddenly it got gray and dark night the second after that. However you do not fret since you know you are nearly there. And there you go, when night struck it is now apparent that someone is around as you see a flickering light. Like from a fire, but you can not really see the source since it appears to be in an indentation of the scarp that is on your left. Looking at the map it seems that excavation site is inside the escarpment that you are fallowing, so it sure appears that your destination would be just around the corner. How do you proceed? (it is evening right now and general light situation is considered Darkness, so those witohut darkvision need a source of light to see, but you can obviously see the light before you coming from around the scarp.)

Expecting to find nothing else than busy dwarven archaeologists, Tryn will have lit a torch and carry it for everyone to see. That is if someone can provide the torch. He realises that he forgot to bring any when it starts to get dark.

Goraseth has torches, and would follow Tryn without any fear. With his new companions, he feels strong.

Nevertheless, The Dragonborn would try to not make too much sounds as they approach. Who knows, orcs seems to be everywhere these days

Stealth: 11

perception: 11

As you getting closer to the light, you eventually come close enough to see inside the indentation. The indentation is around 25feet deep, 15 feet wide and the walls around it are about 20 feet high, you came from west, where there was a scarp, but on the east side on indentation there is a slope. The road leads east and turns north. (made awesome map to visualize)

Tharanau has dark vision and would be trying to be stealthy (stealth 21). He would maybe be scouting a little ahead and trying to see if these are the dwarves they are expecting to be around here. He'll also look for footprints around. (Perception 23)

Tharanau realises quickly that this setup is a trap. But how can he tell the others? 

He tries to inform Goraseth in a hushed voice in draconic: "Seth, this is a setup, tell the others! There are 4 creatures up on the scarp around the fire, they're watching us! And in front of the fire is a trap in the floor, an unnatural ditch!"

Then he steps forwards and holds his hands out in a non-threatening manner and speaks in dwarvish: "dear dwarves, we come from Phandalin, we're friends!" 

If there is no reply, he will continue: "I have spottet you, I mean no harm. I just want to talk!"

(trying to pull the focus on myself, so they don't check out the others too much)
