Phrael ponders opening the door anyways, but shrugs, deciding to follow after Carnan and the others. "Best way to calm things down is with some ale at the yawning portal, friend. "

So up you go from the secret passage and reach the Peabodys cellar ((a halfling family, friends of Carnan)) after removing a loose flagstone at the end of the tunnel, their home is on Fishgut Alley (Dockward) so you are about 30 to 40 minutes walking from the Yawning Portal. ((And by the way Floon looks severily injured, 1 hp))

Carnan! I see you came with more people, where they doing mysterious things in my cellar? I'm sorry to say this but they all look a bit unconventional to me...where they causing the weird noises? -  says Bildir Peabody (father)

((If you wish to talk a bit with the halfling family, please leave what you say and if neccesary we'll expando on that, but they are pretty close to Carnan, so it shouldn't be a big problem))

The walk back to the Yawning Portal seemed longer than usual, carrying with Floon who passed out as soon as he felt safe and thinking on what could've happened without Flux's blessing, the party quick reaction and Carnan's aid. Seconds after opening the Yawning portal's door you see Volo drinking anxiously staring to the entrance as if he has been waiting all day for any kind of news. He recognizes you but when sees Floon unconscious he first imagines the worst and runs to meet you at the door.

Oh Floon...is he Okay? I should've looked for help faster -  Says Volo saddened by the view but after a close inspection he notices Floon's chest expanding as he takes air. - You did it! -  he happily invite you to his table and then says - I could barely sleep thinking that I caused this to Floon, but now everything is good and he'll live to see my newest book!...once I finish it of course - at this point he is talking to all of you and his happiness changes to a rather sheepish look - I confess that I have but few coins to spare. But never let it be said that Volo reneges on a promise. Allow me to present something much more valuable.” - He holds out a scroll tube - “The deed to a remarkable property here in Waterdeep! We’ll need a magistrate to witness the transfer of ownership. I’ll arrange a meeting with one after you’ve inspected the estate and deemed it satisfactory.

 ((By the way, you all level up))

As Rin makes his way through the streets of Waterdeep, he can't resist the urge to smile a bit about his good luck. "Nearly went to the great beyond tonight," he muses to himself, "but here I am nonetheless. I can drink to that. Not a bad bunch of fellows that I've somehow fallen in with."

The rogue takes his turns at helping Floon along the way, carrying him when needed. "You'll be on the mend straight away, Floon."

Rin's not sure what to think about being on the receiving end of a property transfer. "Hm, I've never owned anything other than what I can carry on me," he remarks aloud to no one in particular. Rin makes sure to give Volo a hearty thanks when all is said and done. 

Property?  What kind of property?  

Phrael did his best to converse with Rin and Carnan in an attempt to learn more about the two, with promises of free drinks once reaching the Yawning Portal. A supposed easy feat once Volo would see Floon alive and paid what was owed. 

Instead, the wood elf would have to pay with what little money he had as the writer was like most and without coin. "I gotta say, if it's so valuable, why do you have no money, but are willing to part with it

I bought this property because it is rumored to be haunted, and I was hoping that investigating it might yield a chapter for my next book "Volo’s Guide to Spirits and Specters", now "being haunted" was an overstatement, the time I spent there I barely noticed something, I'm sure is nothing you couldn't handle, and I'm talking about a chair dropping misteryously while I was near it, nothing interesting to be honest...but this is a common thing I do, I spend sometimes more than I have with the hope of getting more in tales and information to share in my books - Says Volo full of pride and confidence - But believe me, after some remodeling this could become a new landmark in Waterdeep - and then he takes another scroll from a different tube and extends it over the table -

Prior to leaving the family..

"Not just us." Flux intrudes. "You have a bigger problem. Come tomorrow, you will want to go to the watch. Inform them of the unfortunate circumstances of having purchased a home connected to a Xanathar's Guild Hideout. And see to it they dispatch someone to further investigate." Flux starts to turn. "Oh. And by the way. You and your family might want to stay with family while that mess gets sorted out." Flux moves on, aiding Floon the rest of the way to the portal. Any attempt on the others part to relieve the dragon genasi of his burden is met with a polite but warning glare.

Back at the Portal..

Flux brushed off most of the conversation, as he was too busy making sure Floon didn't get any more injured while he set him down in a seat. Only then did he press his hand upon the man's chest. "Be whole again." Both hand and shield symbol glows with an unearthly blue light for a few seconds, and then vanishes without a trace. Whether Floon wakes immediately or not, Flux steps away and says, "He will still need time. But should be better come morning." before plopping into a seat with the others. "Now what is this about spirits? And why hasn't it be exorcised yet?"

Cure Wounds: 9.

"Distilled spirits are much preferred over exorcised spirits...but apparently this new property of ours might have both," says Rin as he points at the taproom on the map. 

==Carnan=Dwarf=Druid==

This is an amazing group.  "Well, I don't know that I have a part in this property but I would love to go and investigate it with you.  You are quite the group and I have decided, with your permission of course, to follow and help as needed."  Carnan looks at the group and wonders what they will find next.

Kebron eyes the floor plan suspiciously expecting a shack or some other run down one room apartment. His eyes widened as he studied the paper. Taproom? Kitchen? ALE CELLAR?!?!  Our own Tavern!!!  Oh ho ho!!  That bloody brain cat thing was totally worth it now.  

Kebron looks at Carnan grinning. Cousin! Yer more then welcome to join us in enjoying the spoils  Ye helped save Rin’s skinny ass, and we’ll need another proper Dwarf to help run our new establishment here  These gents while fine companions don’t know a thing about the finer arts of brewing a proper pint, and ya don’t want to know what they consider a good meal. 

Kebron turns back to the floor plan  and points at one of the walls.  Ooo right there is a perfect spot for that art we rescued from them Kenku.  So glad we picked it up.  

Phrael sat back in his chair, waiting for one of the rounds of drinks to arrive he had placed with Durnan, "Alright. Seems too good to be true. So how and when do we make this official?"

I'll set up a meeting tomorrow with the magistrate Kylynne Silmerhelve, this usually take place at a courthouse in the Castle Ward at highsun. This meeting is to oficially transfer the deed to your name. I'll confirm the time and place of this meeting as soon as I get a response from the Magistrate office.

Guys, I don't think I can thank you enough for this - he raises his hand and asks Bonnie for a drink - We should all celebrate the era of ...hmmm... YOU! (I'm not sure if you go  by an adventurer's name - Says Floon to Flux as he lowers his voice and places a hand near to his mouth so only Flux would catch that)... I will tell the story of how you went through hell to save me, and oh boy! you gave them no quarter, soon everyone in Waterdeep will hear about you that's the least I can do for you, CHEERS!

Flux raises a brow. "No. Just Flux." He looks briefly and awkwardly over to his companions both new and old. "You don't need to do that, you know. I cannot speak for my companions, but I didn't do it for any glory. It is good enough to have seen to it that another was spared from the darkness of the city." He nods firmly and gives a look of self-satisfaction. "It will be certainly nice not having to work out of an Inn, for once. Now if it is alright, I will see the rest of you in the morning." He stands up and gives both Rin and Carnan a meaningful look before starting to walk over to Durnam to see about room arrangements. 

Before he can get too far, he stops, chuckles gravelly, then turns back to look at Carnan. "I almost forgot. The contents of that chest...what was it?"

If we want to shortcut equal division, the amount that comes out of  16 gp, 82 sp, and 250 cp is: 
3gp to 4 people, and 4 gp to 1 person
16sp to 4 people, and 2sp to 1 person
50cp to all

With all that in mind, Flux will offer to take the ultimately smaller end of the deal that is the 4gp/2sp. As for the 2 potions, he'll leave that to the rest of you to decide. But as always, up to the rest of you.

As a reminder, think about what you folk want to do with the silver bars and paintings come the next day, I guess? As they were found stashed away, they may not be strictly "legal" to possess and trade. Though I could be wrong. Maybe get at least some smithed into silver weapons perhaps? *shrugs* Either way, Flux doesn't know about at least the bars, and at least Kebron and Phrael would know he could be a stickler about things. So, it may be best to keep him out of the loop. 

Mildly fascinated, Rindarius listens to Flux and then leans over to Phrael. "Noble chap, isn't he?"

The rogue is a bit confused, however, after making eye contact with Flux as the cleric stood up from the table. Rin looks to Carnan for an explanation. "Does this mean I'm on the good guys' team now?"

Phrael blinks and then nods, "Uh, yeah. We didn't do it for the glory... but it helps!" 

==Carnan=Dwarf=Druid==

"Kebron, you are a dwarf after my own heart.  We need each other.  We will show these food cretin's what life is really about."  Carnan hears Flux ask about the chest:  "Ah yes, the chest,  let us split these things.  There are two potions for healing who wants these?" When Rin and Phrael show interest Carnan tosses them each a potion.  "I will help keep Kebron healthy and Flux is learning much from his divine contacts about keeping people alive.  And we will split the money as best we can, I'll take last portions because I have been with the group the shortest amount of time."

Carnan splits the money:

Flux bristles and glares at Carnan. Yet, after taking the coin, he says nothing before storming off to Durnam to see to his room being set up for the evening. 

((Durnan offers three type of rooms with the following rates:

Poor - 1 Sp
Modest - 5 sp
Comfortable - 8 sp))

Flux! I guess you'll take the usual...just let me know and I can have someone help you to take your stuff to the room. - Says Durnan

Floon and Volo decide to leave early in order to avoid what happened before ((feel free if you wish to ask or mention anything else before they leave))

Flux returned the greeting with a tired smile. "Not this time, Durnan. Came into a bit more coin recently." He sets down eight shards, and slides it over. "Something comfortable, and with a window dawn wards if possible." He sniffs at himself and almost wretches. "They do come with baths, right?"  

Rin smiles as he feels the coins clinking together in the palm of his hand. He pockets the gold straight away but can't resist using the silver pieces for a few rounds of gambling. "A few drinks and a game of cards seems the right way to close out this little chapter," he muses to himself. 

Win, lose, or draw, after he's played a few honest games of cards, Rin sets himself up in a comfortable room, not batting an eye at the cost.
