Investigation 18

Ok Nirev get a stick in the sand and pull out this mathematic equation.....

Buck is 303 lbs....

303 x 25% = 75.75 of unusable meat..(head...lowerlegs...bones)

So 75.75 - 303 =227.25 of sellable meat....

So 227.25 X .25 per pound is 56.8125... 56 gold .... 8 sliver  and 1 copper ....

And you still have the hide to do what you want with it ....

The mayor thinks about what your saying..... humm your right .... we might have to find there camp and bust it up some how .....hummm...  could your team of fearless warriors do that for the village? 

I mean map there camp so I can send men there to clean it up .... but......... if you think you guys can do that.... I could pay you......

Mapping there camp I would pay 50 gold.... taking out all thats in the camp, I can do 125 gold .... what say you? 

Nirev is happy to be still sharp at calculations. He still nudges big man Phil, though. "Hey, so that would be 56 gold, 8 silver and 1 copper, a little bit over what you're saying... And I appreciate the hide", he adds wondering what he and his friends would do with such a thing. Sell it as well maybe? All the time in the butcher shop, the boy controls himself to not show any sign of magic, as he learned from previous encounters with merchants that magic leads to trouble unless it's the object of trade.

(Guys, tomorrow I'll be traveling for the holidays. I expect I'll still be able to post, but if I don't, it's just because I didn't manage to get myself an internet connection.)

"Make it 200 Gold and we'll consider it. but i aint risking my neck for no 25 gold each for a whole village of these vermin" *finally lifting my hood revealing my elven features*

(was thinking about it and realized i should do one of two rolls

Intimidation: 7

Persuasion: 20 )

I see your new here... the village I mean.... when you start working with us and pulling your weight like the others in you so call party ... maybe you can negotiate with us.... but for a start your mind is in the right place...as he smiles...

So what do you say.... looking at the other party members

Phil smiles.... Nirev your good with numbers...after he recalculated the weight per pound.  I know your a hunter/Adventure.... but if you need a job...  come see me...

But do you guys take the deal? 

"Mayor, I am so, so sorry about the incredibly rude actions of 'Mr. Smith' over here," Shiloh says as she steps forward, eyeing the wood elf warily, making it a point to put emphasis on his false name as she spoke it. "He really is new here, and you would figure he would know better than to just walk into other peoples' homes and start trying to dictate the terms of acceptance.

"But.... um... I can't speak for the entire group, but I would absolutely like to help. I would have to speak with my mother first, however. I don't know if just accepting jobs from you without keeping her in the loop is wise. Especially after the wolf pack incident and that one time you sent all of us after that Sea Hag a couple years ago; the one where, I, um... almost died. I... I don't think I have ever seen her so angry and fierce with anyone, and she was sick at the time when she started yelling at you for sending us after the hag without telling her. She didn't let me out of her sight for four months after that."

We take it, Nirev says.

Phill said good good .... and give you the money and starts cutting in to the meat as the line behind you ask for the slices of meat they ask for .... as the line builds up 6 long.....

(apologies for delay in responding to the pbp, been a rough couple weeks, assume Baredark wandered off at some point. I'll have him join back up at an opportune time)

glares back at shiloh rolling my eyes but stays quiet and lets them talk*

(Yo, I'm late, too~ I'm pretty sure Sanzu went with Shiloh, though, so I'll jump from there)

Keeping his eyes on the newcomer, Sanzu nods, then forces himself to say, "I will also help, if the others are willing."

The gold would do him good. Maybe he can find and afford medicine that can actually heal Elzena. So far, it doesn't seem too likely, but maybe.

As you all get back to a group... share the money and tell the other what the mayor ask of you ..   you all can decide what next on your new Adventure

OOC: Is there an armorer in town?

Shiloh returns to the party after quickly running home and getting permission from her mother to exchange the 4 gold coins into something shareable for the rest of the group.

However, soon after, she's forced to have the discussion she was positively dreading.

"Mother... the mayor... he, um... wants us to do something."

"Oh? He does now?" Rachel was now very interested as she looked up from her weave and looms. "And pray tell, what would that be?"

"He..." Shiloh exhaled; she as well say it and get this over with. "He wants us to clear out a camp of gnolls."

"He wants you to WHAT?"

"Mother, I don't see why we-"

"Shiloh, you are a young lady, I can't just have you putting yourself in danger!" Rachel stared at her daughter, hands on her hips.

"But mother, the gnolls have been so close, and the town guard can only do so much!"

"... I will think about this, though I do believe I shall pay our dear mayor a visit and ask him what struck him to ask a young lady and a bunch of children and only one man to strike out at an encampment of gnolls. You're all barely old enough to hold a sword, for heavens' sakes, even the one that looks more like a man grown. How is that big lug of a friend of yours... Baredark, isn't it? I worry for that one, in particular; he has such a kind heart, but there are so many that would take advantage of him. Have you had any luck in trying to convince him to sit down with me and learn to read? You know I would gladly do that for him, Shiloh."

"I.... I'll bring it up the next I see him, mother," Shiloh relaxed; this hadn't become as dramatic or tense as she was afraid it would. "Thank you for letting me change out the coins from your money stock!"

And with that, Shiloh left her home and mother's storefront, her She splits the shares evenly into 6 silver and 6 copper coins in small coin pouches, though she hands "John Smith's" share to Sanzu; she is clearly hesitant and a bit nervous to interact directly with the strange wood elf in any way, shape or form... although she is currently forced to hold onto Baredark's share after she realizes that the big lug wasn't anywhere to be found, tying his share to her belt.

"Sorry about that, everyone, I had to talk with mother about the mayor's request and split our funds evenly... Where's Baredark?"

Kairon finishes dividing up the money from the buck. He ran to the general store to break the 2 extra gold pieces into the proper amount of silver and gold. He hands each person 9gp, 4sp, and 6cp to place in their belt pouch. He hands Baredark’s share to Shiloh and whispers something to her. 

*smiles accepting my portion from Kairon and watches and sanzu is handed two portions curling my lip a little knowing one of those portions is meant for me* "are we really gonna play this game? u guys need help with the gnolls and u know it...."
