We should get a good price for the silver and the paintings. Ideally they’d only want a nominal fee for Floon, something to save face. Killing him gets them nothing, and keeping him costs them food and board. If we go in and offer a ransom maybe they’ll release him. If not then we can go through the sewers tonight. I could even pick up some quieter armor with the funds we get from our shine.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ringo taps out his pipe on the bottom of his boot and tucks it away in his belt. "Agree, Kalmar. Let's get a move and look to fence these goodies. Maybe keep the paintings, but the silver we launder. Then go make the deal. If negotiation breaks down we leave kindly and then make our way to the sewers." With that he opens the door and looks outside.
((Just for my clarification, the plan is to fence the silver, go to Old Xoblob's and try to arrange a meeting with Xanathar or their reps for Floon and strike a ransom, correct?))

((Kalmar feel free to make up your fence with your criminal background, or I can provide one, Ringo there isn’t much to see, looks like a normal day. People are starting to get up and about but the Sea Ward isn’t very working class so there isn’t too much bustle.))
Kal cracks his back I just happen to know someone who knows someone who can help us out. Durbin Wahl, I did some work with his brother once upon a time and he assured me if you’re in with one Wahl you’ve got a roof over your head. Not much for turning a phrase is old Graidige, but he assured me Durbin is discreet, on the level, and operating a antiquities shop here in Waterdeep. So let’s go pay him a visit, shall we?

Ringo slaps Kalmar on the back and smiles, "let's go meet this Durbin friend of yours. I still think we should keep hold of these paintings, just a gut feeling,"Ringo says as he starts to make his way towards the trade's ward. Ringo keeps an eye out while they walk over, discreetly checking their backs.
Fluttercloak nods his assent and the party is off, making their way southeast out of the Sea Ward and then down the High Road. Ringo keeps a keen eye out, but the party isn't really attracting any attention and we all make our way to Durbin's shop. Fluttercloak pauses. "You--wanna go--in? Or--should--I--in disguise?"

Alright, let's hold the paintings for now. We should get a pretty straight exchange for the silver, we just need to go to a counting house I think.
((about how much would the silver be worth?))
((The silver should be worth a hefty sum. There are 15 bars, each worth ~50GP))

((I think that’s the plan Jesse. Fence, negotiate, if it fails go to plan B))
((That’s the plan as I see it. If we’re going to a fence should we bring the paintings?))
((I feel paintings might be more important in long run...))
((650GP from the silver should be more than enough liquid funds for starters I think))
Fluttercloak shoulders his pack, indicating his readiness to go. "Where--sell? Dockward? Maybe--I know a guy, eh?""

((The paintings depict the cities of Luskan, Neverwinter, Silverymoon, and Baldur’s Gate.))

Kalmar examines the paintings for any signature or other indication of there importance. investigation 17

Kalmar, a thorough investigation does not reveal any significant watermarks; it truly seems these are just valuable paintings.
Fluttercloak flaps his beak. "Aye--Wahl--visit--antiques shop."
The antiques shop is probably on the south end of the trade's ward, an hour or so's walk.

It’s on the south end of the trade’s ward. An hour or so’s walk. We can pick up anything else while we’re down there as well. We ready?
