Chatra searches the goblin and kobold bodies, but comes up empty. However, he gets excited as he searches the humanoid in the ranger's gear.
On and around the ranger’s corpse Chatra finds several items: 1 studded leather armor, 5 daggers, 1 longbow, a backpack (containing a water skin, one day’s rations, a bedroll, a tinderbox, and three torches), a quiver with 6 arrows, a potion of healing, and a pouch that holds 17 gold pieces. He also finds an engraved gold ring on the rangers finger. He reads the engraving aloud, “Karakas”.
Proud of what he has found so far, Chatra walks over to the table with the map and scoops up the 6 gold. He chucks the dagger into the pile with the other items he found and then looks over the map. Chatra starts to yell, "Haha! Did you idiots even look at this map? There's some stupid tree on it and it clearly lines up with the map we already have. Its obviously a map of whatever it below this level... Rees I'm keeping all the $h!^ I found on that dead ranger #$^& as I clearly deserve it for single handily killing that stupid ratfaced-man and then uncovering all his stupid plans! What are you doing tonight Chatra... taking over the world??"
"I think you misunderstand the definition of single-handedly," Arxius says sharply. "If anyone should get recognition for the feat it is Grom. He did the most damage and he suffers for it. Grom has a greater claim in my opinion."
As Meepo stabs the corpse he cuts into some sort of hidden pocket in the ratman's jacket and you hear the dagger point connect with something metal. Meepo looks at the corpse quizzically, then drops his knife, and starts rummaging through the hidden pocket. He pulls out a small purse with [Tooltip Not Found] gold pieces and a piece of rolled parchment parchment paper inside. He throws the parchment to the ground, dances a little jig, and yells excitedly, "Look friends Meepo find shiny! Meepo find shiny! Can Meepo keep!?"
Alten and Arxius please make a perception check [DC 10].
Arxius is surprised when Meepo starts crying out. She curses inwardly, she obviously wasn't paying attention when she searched the body. "How much have you got there?"
Perception: 11
As Meepo jostles and stabs at the corpse one of the shirt sleeves flies up and reveals a singular tattooed black band on the ratman's forearm...
DM Note: It looks like this, but a single band (not 2):
Meepo holds the purse open, looks inside, and starts to count on his clawed fingers, "Ermmm.. Meepo thinks there this many!" He says as he holds up a his four fingered hand, "Can Meepo keep??"
DM Note: Fixed the tooltip.. there's 24 gold in the purse, lol.

"I think you misunderstand the definition of single-handedly," Arxius says sharply. "If anyone should get recognition for the feat it is Grom. He did the most damage and he suffers for it. Grom has a greater claim in my opinion."
"Well Arxius... you know what they say about opinions right? Besides I'm going to put my deeds in a ballad and everyone knows that what's in a ballad is what's remembered!"
"I think perhaps you have earned it," Arxius tells him, giving the Kobold a wink. "Keep it close to you. I do not suppose you fancy this crossbow he had, do you? There are only seven bolts but if you would like it you are welcome to it."
In the other room:
"Well if what is in a ballad is all you need then you should have no problem sharing with the rest of the party," Arxius scoffs at Chatra.
"I am not opposed to it," she mutters under her breath to Rees.
"I think perhaps you have earned it," Arxius tells him, giving the Kobold a wink. "Keep it close to you. I do not suppose you fancy this crossbow he had, do you? There are only seven bolts but if you would like it you are welcome to it."

Meepo jumps for joy and grabs the crossbow, before Arxius can change her mind. He cradles it and yips, "Meepo love Arxius! Thanks you! Meepo cheerish bow always!"
Irritated Chatra says through gritted teeth, "And I am supposed to show up to my gigs dressed like a pauper? I think not Arxius!"

Irritated Chatra says through gritted teeth, "And I am supposed to show up to my gigs dressed like a pauper? I think not Arxius!"
She laughs at his enthusiasm and offers him the bolts as well. "Be careful with it, but make sure you do a lot of damage when need be."
"I think it is safe to say at the rate we are going you will not be dressed like a pauper no matter what items you do or do not pick up along the way," she tells him, narrowing her eyes. "Every one of us will walk away with a decent purse."
"Tell you what, Chatra, you want to keep everything you find then you can just give back everything that anyone else has found and shared with you. You can't have it both ways. Where I come from if you try, you usually end up with a knife in your back." She smiles with overdone sweetness then goes to see if she can help Meepo figure out the crossbow.
Grom comes walking over to the door into this room. kinda leaning against the frame.. looking like he has a 2 day hangover going.. "what did you guys find"
"Chanta I know for sure you are not taking credit for what we as a group accomplished"
"I think perhaps you have earned it," Arxius tells him, giving the Kobold a wink. "Keep it close to you. I do not suppose you fancy this crossbow he had, do you? There are only seven bolts but if you would like it you are welcome to it."

Meepo's eyes grow wide at the sight of the bolts, "Meepo be careful Arxius."
As you walk away to regroup with Rees in the other room you hear, "Owchhh -- sharp!... Mes okay!"
Chatra's eyes narrow, "IF we all walk away. I didn't see you heal anyone after that fight."
"Tell you what, Chatra, you want to keep everything you find then you can just give back everything that anyone else has found and shared with you. You can't have it both ways. Where I come from if you try, you usually end up with a knife in your back." She smiles with overdone sweetness then goes to see if she can help Meepo figure out the crossbow.
Chatra is speechless at this revelation, "$%!&.. fine have it your way.. I don't want to carry all this crap anyway."
Grom comes walking over to the door into this room. kinda leaning against the frame.. looking like he has a 2 day hangover going.. "what did you guys find"
"Chanta I know for sure you are not taking credit for what we as a group accomplished"
Chatra coughs, "No-no-no of course not Grom.. I would n-eee-ver do such a thing. In fact.. I was just telling Arxius and Rees here that they shouldn't be boasting about their efforts.. I mean we all pitched in to take down the big cheese? Am I right? Pshh."
Arxius picks up the piece of parchment that Dallas completely forgot about because Meepo was too adorable and looks it over.
Do I need to roll to look at the parchment? If so 7
Nope, don't need a roll.
You unfold the parchment and give it a once over, right away you realize that you do not recognize the words, or symbols written there. But, you do find a drawing of a wand accompanying the words...

"Strange," Arxius says as she looks over the parchment. She takes it to the rest of the group, holding it out to them. "Does anybody recognise this writing?"

DM Note: That sounds like more of a threat, so I gotta go with Intimidation. Chatra’s Charisma modifier is a +3, so no point in rolling. Sorry mate.
Chatra laughs at Grom and responds in common, “Empty words and empty threats Grom. I’m a bard, I can tell when someone’s just bluffing. And just because you know my mother tongue and speak to me in it doesn’t make us friends. I don’t see a team here... We’re all a bunch of Merc’s just looking to score a little coin then move on.. so, why doesn’t everyone just stop pretending we have each other’s backs like we’re family or something and lets get on with it?”
The healing potion is in a glass bottle with a wooden stopper. You can see that it is red and bubbly like Mountain Dew Code Red. It looks just like the potion you received from Yusdrayl.

History check on the tattoo if she can: 18
In the event that she doesn't know anything about it, she'll bring it to the others with the following:
"There was a tattoo on our rat man, as well. A black band around the arm. I do not know if anyone has seen anything like it before. There may be more like him," Arxius says. "Whatever he was. I have certainly never seen anything like it."
"I think you misunderstand the definition of single-handedly," Arxius says sharply. "If anyone should get recognition for the feat it is Grom. He did the most damage and he suffers for it. Grom has a greater claim in my opinion."
