Road to Phandalin

Margret looks embarrassed and says to Dain "Sorry, it slipped my mind."

She replies to Nobody. 

"Well if he finds anything magic we'll need someone who knows mage hand They could retrieve it."

Dain, beside his shield and armor, you find two pouches with coins, one is a small shabby looking bag with a few coppers and the other made from better material and clean and contains coins of higher value, as well as a bag of what looks like high quality incense.

When you cast the spell, you notice that the bugbears armor in front of you glows with the same slowly fading magic as Margarets sword. You see the same glow near the spot where you recovered this corpse and on the armor of the second corpse. you don’t see any other magic inside the cavern beside that (and of course what your group carries with them).

"Doesn't seem like they have the figurine." Dain says with a sigh. "Want me to get the other guy out of the cloud?"

(The nice looking pouch with the decent amount of coins in it, has exactly the amount of coins in it the vanished from Nobody when he got captured and that still is in his inventory)

"In theory, if its small enough and close enough." Nobody comments in response to Margret. Although its pretty clear he didn't have much hope. Indeed when Dain notifies them about the figurine, he appears not the least bit surprised at the news. However just as he opened his mouth to speak, he hesitates for a moment, and then rubs his chin. "I.. for the life of me, I cannot recall how we came about that figurine now. But, I do recall it having some protection against divination magics.. I think? I remember there being difficulties discerning its true nature even with more investigative magics. Or perhaps that's just sleep deprivation speaking." He admits.

"Hmm.. Just in case then, and if you are up for it, Dain. Best we grab the other one close at hand and get it out there. Then maybe do a thorough search as well."

(To DM: Good point about the coin. If kept by Dain or whoever else helped search the bodies, I'll be sure to remove that officially from the sheet.)

(I could of been wrong about the figurine Its been awhile)

Margret says "No Dwarf that's what magic is for. Nobody, could you tie off the rope with your mage hand with the help of Dains Familiar? Besides you'll stir up the poison more"

Nobody squints at Margret, appearing to not understand her meaning. And try he might, he couldn't recall using the spell before around the others. Maybe she meant Dain? Or maybe... he had? Eventually, he just sighs tiredly and decided to dismiss the train off thought that before it dragged him any further into the mists of confusion. "I can try, but I make no promises. Its kind of difficult to tie a rope with one hand. Easier though to slip out of them though." He chuckled without mirth as he climbed to his feet.

And after a bit more trial and error than most might've expected, he eventually managed to conjure up a spectral grey hand with sharpened nails. "Huh... So I can do that." He murmured before sending it off with the end of a rope. He keeps an ear open for dictation from Dain as necessary, and tries to make Margret's plan work.

(I think we saw you do that at the Redbrand Hideout)

The spectral hand grabs the rope and hovers over to the other corpse. It looks a little bit clumsy, but getting the rope around a limb is a bigger challenge then the knot itself. After a few trials and errors you manage to bind the rope to an arm and you pull the corpse out of the cavern.

(To tie a knot is no problem, i would make you roll if you try to open one though.)

Dain moves forward and starts to search the second corpse as well.

Investigation: 6 Guidance: 2

You find a few more coins ( 34 silver and 53 copper between both bugbears) the magic infused armor, but no sign of the figurine. 

Margret sighs deeply "Well I guess we take a short rest at least besides I heard that magic armor adjusts to you so unless you're going to let me have that breast plate I'm going to try it"  Looking at the bugbears "I whish we could speak with the dead so we could find out where Neznar went."

She wonders if she could sit in it since the flame is not hot and save the guys from getting an eyeful

"Mn.... Perhaps the priestess back in Phandalin might be able to?" Nobody mused aloud. "Or so I imagine... not to belittle your own connection to your deity, Kai." The tiefling is quick to amend before looking to the bugbears. "Though, I do not relish the idea of lugging even one of them around the whole way back... But, perhaps we could simply take their heads, and hope it is enough." He suggest. 

It is then that Zurzg quits his hunt to hold up his morningstar suggestively. "Intact, Zurzg. We would need them intact." He slowly lowers the weapon down again with a scowl before going back to bug chasing again. "In any event, if we are to rest, let it be back in the workshop then. Easier to defend, I imagine. Plus, we can bar the doors, maybe." He suggests. Even exhausted as he was, if agreed on the whole relocation suggestion, then Nobody does his best to pull his weight when it came to stripping the bugbear's armor and carrying that off for future studying back at the workshop.

18 „Sorry i don‘t know what spell you are talking about.“ Kai replies.

(just a reminder that you also got a magical mace, staff and breastplate from the big fight near the furnace)

Since they didn't find anything on the bugbears Margret goes into Marco's senses and takes a scan of the area within 60ft of her looking for small objects the Bugbears might of dropped while dying 15

Dain would notice it within 30ft because of detect magic. You don't find anything north of you. Do you want to fly into the spore cloud to take a closer look? 

Also, there is tbe second building that is still closed just n e of you. 

"A short rest would likely be good." Dain agrees, moving away from the bodies. he hands the coin he found over to Margret, and tosses Nobody his pouch. "Thinking that likely yours." Dain says as he does the latter.

Dain would like the glass staff if possible. He would also like the breastplate, but that would be getting a bit greedy, as he also has the gauntlets of ogre power. Thus he will let someone else have the breastplate if they want it. Medium +1 armor is likely good on most of the group after all.

(No if we want to check further we can go to the otherside)

Margret shrugs "Let us discuss this while resting" She heads back to the work room but waits for the rest to follow

Nobody has to do a bit of a juggling act to catch the the pouch, but manages, and smiles gratefully at Dain. During the walk back to the workshop he asks, "Gundren is really alright, yes? He... did he go back to town? Or is he waiting for you all?"

To which Zurzg said plainly, "Zurzg sure he is outside. He hiding. They say this already. You hit head?"  Nobody criges and actually rubs at his head searching for signs of an injury. "A-any chances of then getting a message to him? Letting him know things are... more or less handled in here? I'm not sure how long it's been since you came in, but with the spider still on the loose, perhaps..." He trailed off, uncertain of where to go from there. But if the others insist on resting up, then he puts forth no resistance. Just as if or when they get around to examining the items, he made no bid for any of it.

Otrov

She is okay with the short rest (she’s at full HP)  but BEFORE doing so, she would want to see if there are some vials laying around that she could use to maybe try to scoop some poison - a few spores or something - off the bugbear. 

And if she can convince anyone to go with her, she’s also intersted in gleaning what she can if anything from the spiders (Poisons)!and shapeshifter, including patches of skin to maybe use later to create some gloves or masks. 

Not sure if I need to roll anything or if anything is even possible (DM).
