Aedra looks at the defeated creature before her with pity and responds in elvish, Alright. You have my word you will not be harmed. As long as you don’t try anything. She turns to the group, Let’s get this guy bandaged up. He says he’ll tell us what we need to know afterwards. I don’t know if he’ll have much to tell us, but I feel a little bad for killing his buddies so I’m willing to give him a chance. What do you think? She looks to Varris, trusting the insight of a fellow sorcerer. If everyone else is on board, I'm ready to get out of this place.
Sorry for the delay you guys! Friend had a crisis. But I'm stepping it up from here on out!
Ackam shrugs his tight muscular shoulders as the party seems to ignore most of the booty. "Well, if alls you aren't gonna want to go beck and peck through our winnins' then I hope ye don't mind me grabbing some more of dis here stuff,"and with that Ackam grabs the 8 bolts of sleeping, as well as the two kukris blades, which he shoves into the left and right side of his belt.
Hey all! Mark, game is awesome so far and can't wait for Wednesday. Second, thought everyone should check out these tips below about how to include in your posts direct links to your spells, magic items, monsters, ect which can help Mark as well as other players who are still learning what all the stuff the rules behind all the things that are happening:

That shield is presumably metal?

Thanks Jesse. Also, started to listen to Glass Cannon, very fun listen. They do this cheesy thing where they name what actor would play their character. So, to copy them I figure Ackam would look like Sam Rockwell with a red beard.
I’m inclined to agree with you Aedra...at this point we don’t have much to lose by seeing if this drow has any salient information, especially since you can translate. With any luck he might provide some more leads.
Looking around to the rest of the group, besides this ring none of these items would be well utilized by me. I’d like to hold onto it if you don’t mind.
"Ahh, but what'n ist this ring anyhow? Oi sayee we takee advantege o' Desguin's offer befer we jump teh crossbow."Earthhand looks down at the drow. "A pitiable an' twisted creature tha'. Ee's seen enoof o' teh tainted blood o' his brothers ter talk, Oi'd thank."
Agency slowly walks over to Mikkael and lightly lifts her tail and uses the tip to grab his opposite should. Crossing her arms and leaning in she whispers in his ear.
You may be Darna's brother, but embarrass me infront of the others again and she may no longer have one I don't care what gods arse you lick. Then she breaks into a smile and pats him in the back forcefully.WELL DONE back there Mikkael... everyone. I've always wanted to fight with a group and you guys did not disappoint. I dare say would have been in even more of a pickle were it not for Thorok's vines.
She puts her hand on her hips and looks around. Well I haven't the penchant for any of this glib glab. As she points around the investigation area. But, I don't mind letting Bastion hold onto the coin for now.
I never thought I'd say this, but I've had my fill of the Arena at this point, so lets have our fill of some drink. Honestly, none of this loot catches my eye but we may as well get them checked. Those potions might be useful.
Mikkael looks skeptically at Agency and gives a small chuckle. My sister asked me to come along with you to protect your lives, not your feelings, monk. If you care so little about my god maybe next time you won't receive her blessing. How about you keep your threats to yourself, and I'll keep you alive? Shall we head to the watch headquarters now?

Bastion loads the unclaimed loot into his storage space. Desguin leads the party through the town back to the Watch headquarters. Everyone reflects on the events of the battle in silence for a moment, seeing how thin the line between life and death can be...
Back at the Watch headquarters Desguin ushers you past the same surly dwarf from earlier.
Where are you off to with all them, Rastave?
Mind your business, Col, if I need an assprint worn into a chair I'll come find you.
He brings you further into the headquarters to their resident mage, a wizened gnome with thick optics. He takes a look at your potions and rings, going through a series of different optics and lenses to examine them.
"Hmm interesting, Oi thankee...?"Thorok pauses, waiting for the gnome's name before turning to address the party."Whaddaya think lads 'n' lassies? Oi've no strong use fer oither o' them' potions. Oi've teh ability ter cast this spell; while it'n mightee be useful ter have teh ability ter do so at will Oi thank it'd be better suited ter one who cannae cast it at all. The philter should go ter someone more charming than meeself." Earthhand chuckles. "As fer this ring, it seems it ought ter go ter whomever among us is most prone ter watery peril, Oi've a decent grasp on nature an' Oi cannae stand teh donning o' metal so Oi see no need."
Agency eyes the philter of love and scoops it up with her tail. She swirls it around a bit as an idea slowly creeps into her mind. Her cheeks go flush, but no would would have noticed through her dark red pigmentation.. Not that I need it or anything, but I'll hold on to this.....Godsdamn that Mikkael. We'll see whose feelings are hurt after this. And with a smug, knowing smile she slides the potion into one of the folds of her robes.
"Well if noone elseed be wantin' teh potion o' animal speak i's true Oi'cn prolly get teh most outta et."Earthhand says, pocketing the unsavory looking tincture. "Unless..." he adds slyly, looking at Bastion. "Yeh'd be interested in teh ring o' swemmin', wot wit' yer metally carpis, aen yeh'd be willin' ter negotiate about that'n shield wit' teh sigil o' webbing." Thorok nods graciously toward Varris and Aedra. "Wit' summat fair worked out wit' ter two o' yeh o' course, one o' yeh'cd have thisee potion aen there'see plenty o' coin."
He claps Desguin on the back. "Abou' tha' drinkee yeh mentioned friend, Oid love ter share it with yer along with moy compatriots aen listen ter yer tale o' what's been goin' on recently."
That sounds like an equitable distribution - I am an able swimmer, and would hate for any of us to survive that tustle at the arena only to run out of oxygen during a swim. Why don’t we hold on to the gems and coin for now, I have been wearing these robes for quite some time and when we find a moment, I would be eager to use that coin to find something more fitting for our upcoming tasks. if we can find a wizard shop we could hopefully get it enchanted. I’m relatively new in town, does anyone happen to know of such a place?
Besides that though, a drink does sound quite nice...
“Though my physical communication may relay that I am sighing or taking pauses for breath, this is truly just a mimicry of natural communication in the common tongue. I have no lungs and have never considered swimming.
does this shield have any magical properties?
perhaps upon determining its qualities we can decide who would benefit most...”
BASTION finishes its speech and then makes a long worried sigh.
“I must apologize. I am not accustomed to traveling in groups of this size. I must come across terribly rude.”
The gnome, Gelbin, clears his throat and adjusts his optics. The weapons and armor have no magical properties. Those twin blades are very interesting, I’ve never seen a drow kukri before.
Aedra looks at the defeated creature before her with pity and responds in elvish, Alright. You have my word you will not be harmed. As long as you don’t try anything. She turns to the group, Let’s get this guy bandaged up. He says he’ll tell us what we need to know afterwards.

BASTION gets on one knee and a hatch on its back opens revealing a storage chest - allowing the party to load in as much loot as they like.
I am fully equipped to handle substantial amounts of weight - Feel free to load me up with any loot or gear.
It straps the drow shield onto its arm and readies itself to head to the tavern.

One more thing, Mark, how am I supposed to use the kukris? What damage do they give? Thanks duder
I'm looking it up and it recommends using the handaxe statistics. Also, that combat was awesome!

Right, what you've got here is a potion of animal friendship, a philter of love, and this little guy here is a ring of swimming Not a bad haul, not a bad haul at all!

Desguin clears his throat. Are you lot ready to talk to Kalsh and the droo?
