Arriving at the farmhouses, Ruggash talks to you while the rest of the family rests inside the house.
"Handy, my new friends, I truly thankful that you're there not long after these creatures captures us. I don't have anything to give you, especially as our wagon broke down. I think I have to think about some new professions"
He takes a deep breath.
"But at least I have a...relic, you may say, for a parting gift, at least"
Ruggash's wife come from the house carrying a small ring.
"This is a family treasure from old times. My great grandfather always says that it's magical, accompanied him in desperate time. Whatever it is, my dad and me can't do anything with it. I hope on you folks, it will be more useful than in this old shack"
If any of you can cast a spell, you do feel that this ring exudes a magical aura of some kind.
.. doesn't hear any of this. He's patting and grooming the family dog, feeding him pieces of his ration and throwing a stick. He shouts over his shoulder, "What's her name?"
Once the party gets going he'll be hard to part from these activities and continues to look back and even gives a small wave to the dog.
"I only take cash but I guess I'll have to make with this relic of yours."
Waft begrudgingly takes the ring for the mean time.
"If I take the rest of your coins while your family is in a dire state, that would make me look bad and that would harm my reputation as a businessman."

Handy tells the family he is grateful that they are ok and happy to help.
He then speaks to Waft. "Here Waft, the debt is 5 silver correct? I will give you 7 silver and I will take the ring. I think it may benefit me more than it benefits you anyway." Handy holds out his hand with the 7 silver waiting for the trade. "I feel this ring could help me in as I use magic to protect the citizens of the area. What do you say?"
"Thank you Waft, it has been a pleasure doing business with you."
Handy looks at the group and says. "Where do you plan on going now that you have helped rescue the good family Tanicum? We still have many needs in this area and you are a capable crew. I could use help working the problems in this crazy land."
Handy then sits back and starts to examine the ring. He will study it for the next while, whether they choose to travel or not, in order to understand it's properties.
On a closer look, Handy observes that the silver ring has three small gems encircling it; those gems each has white glow, making them hard to notice at glance as they don't look different from the ring's material. A small adornment of ram-like horn is the ring's feature of interest.

@Indrafatmoko: What should be used as the attack ability for this ring? I could use either my spell casting ability (+5 and then +7 for the ring) or something else like a ranged attack (also currently +5 for proficient equipment). Thoughts?

"Alright then, I will lead the way, so the guards there won't be suspicious. Worry not, you saved me at least, and that will not go unpaid" Says the Zhentarim man.
As you continue your walk, you finally reach a complex of big tents in the outskirts of the town. From far, you can hear shouts of mercenaries training in fields between the tents. The guard in front of the complex entrance greets the Zhentarim man, who is currently leading your group.
"Chaab, good to see you again"
"Thanks, those folks saved me, but I am afraid we got greater problem to deal with"
You continue to walk towards the biggest tent in the center. Chaab signals the group to enter. Inside is a large room with various set of weapons adorning the tent's wall. In the middle of the room, sit a large and long rectangular table with about a dozen chair around it. In the far side of the table, sit a man clad in armor. Chaab walks near him and whispers something, then sit in the nearest chair.
"I see. So you people save Chaab from the goblin tribe. Please sit down"
"Hello sir, my name is Handsome Harothgar I am part of the City Watch, I meet your friend here as I was on assignment to help rescue the Tanicum family from the Goblin hoard. Chenna here."Handy indicates towards Chenna, "Was the real hero in the rescue of Chaab. He was able to use great skill in diplomacy to talk his way around the Goblin leader but they are still in the caves. What is your name and what is your situation here?"

Little Gisella approaches Chenna.
"I called him Kuku! It means claws! His claws is sharp"
"Poor Kuku must have missed us for two days....thank you mister for your help. We can go home safely!"
Hearing the old man had no money to pay his debt and gave them a relic instead, Waft tries to ascertain his intentions as he asks him.
"Is this supposedly relic you're giving to us worth more than five silver?"

Ruggash is bit startled by Waft's words.
"I-I mean, I can add a dozen coppers and few spare silver if-if that's what you'd prefer. That's-that's all I got left"
Waft tries to look whether Ruggash hides something, but it looks like the man is serious.
"I only take cash but I guess I'll have to make with this relic of yours."
Waft begrudgingly takes the ring for the mean time.

"Here's your new and fancy ring Handy."
Waft hands the relic to the bard's hands as he pockets the seven silver coins.
"Remember, no refunds."

As this isnt a weapon, I believe you use the number written on the item. this item does not need to rely on the owner's ability.
(OOC: Of course, makes more sense.)

"I see, one of the Watch. I appreciate your help, as Chaab was indeed in a critical mission. Worry not, your bags of gold is in order"
The man rubs his great brown beard.
"I am Aster Blackflower. Zhentarim representative for region near Phlan, but my companions simply call me The Viper."
"Where's my manner - please sit down! Considering current situations - I have a little proposal for a band of adventurers as fine as you folks"
