Gallia Campaign 1

Quote from Ledmundo >>

Casmir is looking around, seeing if anything catches his attention. (OOC: not looking for anything in particular, just browsing)

 (OOC: give me a perception check)

Gniff leans forward on the countertop with smile, "Wow, you are remarkably well informed! Word really travels far for such a big place. We smashed those bandits proper but sadly, the leader beat feet and got away. Not to worry though," he says, raising his pointer finger in the air, "His days are numbered. One cannot evade the Fated Eight for long!"

 @ the party, her face lights up. Halia Thornton: (to the party) "Really?! If you, the Fated Eight, could kill this Glassstaff for me, I would be more than happy to reward you with 100 gold pieces."

(OOC: quests in the spoiler below) (OOC 2: quest log updated. quest 2 has an alternative option.)

Gimble goes to hand her the bag of gems and then responds, “We’d be happy to continue our pursuit of Glasstaff. Could you offer any intel as to what he may look like or his normal hangouts?”

 @ the party, Halia takes the bag of gems. Halia: (to the party) "Sadly the base you all took out was the only one I knew of. With their base gone and everyone in the city want them in prison, they will likely go to ground. I don't have any proof but that Sleeping Giant Tap House... I'm pretty sure the bandits hang in there when they are in the city incognito. I would think I would recognize a wizard if I saw one. I haven't seen any wizardly types in this part of the city. This Glassstaff character likely has another hideout or lives somewhere else. I just want him dead, the city guard can take care of the rest of the bandits, assuming you Fated Eight left enough of the bandits to be taken care of." Halia looks over the bag of gems. "Wow lots of shiny gems in this bag. I'll give you 130 gold pieces for the gems and the bag containing them. How does that sound?"

(OOC: Casmir's Perception check: 5)

(OOC: did we check to see if anything besides the sword was magic? Might just be paranoia but why is Halia mentioning the bag the gems are in, is it extra-fancy?)

@ Casmir, You look around at the shelves throughout the store. You find random bits of jewelry, a sextant, some coins that are not your typical gold pieces. You suspect they might have historical value, or maybe they are magical or something. Hard to tell from just looking around. You also find a pan flute, it looked a bit dusty, probably been here for a while. And the last thing of note you see is a ball. It looks like an ordinary ball, but what could its purpose be?

(OOC: It appeared to be an ordinary bag, no one tried to inspect it when the party looted it from the bandit base. It has no obvious markings that it is valuable. Any other information you would have to interact with the bag, or you could ask Halia why she seems to like it.)

Casmir asks Halia "Can I touch this ball here? How much is it?" and adding after a pause, with the best smile a lavender-skinned, horned and tailed, armed-to-the-teeth guy could muster "Oh, and can we have the bag back, if you don't mind? We hope to find more stuff to put in it." (OOC: if she says yes to touching the ball Casmir will pick it up and take a good look, here's some checks in case they are needed: Persuasion to convince her = 22; Investigation 4 or Perception 4 to see what the ball is)

@ Casmir, Halia walks out from behind the counter and over to the shelf you are currently at. Halia: (to Casmir) "Oh that ball, yes you can touch it. As for how much it costs, I'll let you take for 8 silvers. Without the bag to carry them in I'll give you all 125 gold for the gems. And might I say you are a very charming individual. I usually find religious types preachy and annoying." You try to look it over and you can't really make heads or tails of it. You can tell the ball has a leather skin covering the outside.

Gimble looks to Casmir, unsure why he’d want to keep the pouch. 

“Casmir, if you want to keep the pouch ok, but it seems an odd request this late into the game. I guess we’ll take the 125gp please.” And Gimble carefully pours the contents onto the counter and tosses the pouch to Casmir.

 @ Gimble, Halia returns to the counter and then starts digging around looking for a container to keep all the gems that were poured onto the counter. She plops a strongbox on the counter and puts the gems in. Then she grabs the 125 gold pieces to pay the party. She hands them to Gimble. Halia: (to the party) "I hope you are satisfied with the transaction. Anything else I can help you with? Are you purchasing that ball? And I hope you all take up my offer and return with news of a dead red brand bandit leader." While waiting for the party's response. She locks the strongbox with a key and then places it somewhere behind the counter.

While they are talking business, O’alana has been following Casmir around and distracted by all the fares in the store. She stops in front of the ball, curiously poking at it. Seemingly very interested by the interaction, she repeats it a couple more time before she finally turns to Halia. “What is the ball for?” She asks.

 @ O'alana, You poke the ball and its pretty tough, but it does not feel that heavy. (OOC: I assume Casmir is holding onto it so it won't go flying out of his hands from the poking). Halia: (to O'alana) "I believe it is for a game. But other than children and rich folks, who could have the spare time to learn to play and do for fun. I spend all my time working here, and rest in my off hours. Like I said, 8 silvers for the ball. I wouldn't know where to go to find someone to teach the game."

“Thanks very much Halia. I will take a quick look around and we will absolutely be taking you up on your offer of hunting down this leader.”

(OOC just seeing if I am able to notice anything else that may hold more value.)

 @ Gimble, you have trouble seeing anything of interest, but you can see on one of the shelves is a jug for carrying water, for some reason it catches your eye. On a lower level of the same shelf you see some dice. They appear to be normal dice. On a different shelf you can see some books. (OOC: you will have to interact with them, aka tell me you are gonna grab one, if you want to try to see the title.)

@ the party, (OOC: let me know how you respond/what you are going to do next, or if you are ready to move onto the next location, which would be going to the Fists of Justice Guild Hall to see about joining the adventuring guild.)

(OOC: date July 25th. time 9:40 a.m.)

(OOC: quests in the spoiler below)

Misty has remained near the door, just keeping an eye out as the others move around the shop.

Tessa sighs and nudges Misty, "If these boys would finish shopping and playing with toys, maybe we could get some work done."

Casmir grabs the pouch and puts the ball inside it. "Here, you can take a look. Please don't throw it away. Or eat it. I want it back, OK?" he says, handing the bag to O'alana. Then he fishes out 8 silvers from his pouch and places them on the counter. "Thank you very much, ma'am. You're very kind, a pleasure doing business with you!"

(OOC: when we have some down time Casmir will Detect Magic on the pouch and the ball. Did he just buy a baseball?)

Gimble always needing a good game of dice will go see the dice.

@ Casmir, (OOC: the ball is more the size of a basket ball or soccer ball.) You try to put the ball into the bag but its clearly too big for the bag. You still hand it over to O'alana. Halia takes your silver pieces. Halia: (to Casmir) "You are welcome, come again, and thank you very much."

@ Gimble, the dice seem normal, but they do appear to be custom. they got a thin gold plate covering them making them look like little gold cubes. Halia notices you looking at them. Halia: (to Gimble) "Oh those, you can have them for 1 silver piece."

 @ the party, (OOC: It seems like the party is ready to move, if no one wants anything else, I'll advance the story.)
