Robwin thanks Linene Graywind and says “Thanks, but I’d rather have my own. Never know when you might need one in a pinch! Ah yes, that looks right, I’ll take the smaller one if I may. What do I owe you for it?”.

((and since it’s minimum 5 days, Robwin will place the larger order from Sarah (ie, 100gp paper/ink + 20gp incense/herbs = 60gp deposit now))

Then he catches up with TT. “Sorry, took a little longer than expected! How’d you get on here?”.

"The field size brass brazier is four gold." Ms. Graywind says. (( It will meet your needs. ))

Wolfsong gives Endure a nod as they leaves then turns to Blaire, “Let me grab my gear then its off to the hunt.”

Stealth: 20, Survival: 19, Perception: 22

Stealth: 16, Survival: 20, Perception: 22

TT will excitedly tell Robwin all about the opening of the geodes and "They were worth over 6,000 Gp. Ive never had that much money before! Everyone will be so thrilled with this!"

Robwin’s face just goes white, as the blood drains out of it, “What?!... that can’t be right!”. He looks round and over their shoulders to check no one can oversee or overhear. “Six?... ‘dow-dand’?”, he mouths privately. “That’s like 10 years earnings for some of the villagers. More, a lifetime’s!... ..Where is it? Wait.. Keep it hidden... ...You’re right, everyone will be thrilled!!”. He breaks into a nervous smile. “Ha! Let’s find the others”.

Wolfsong, Blaire, Gaatbort and the wolves have an extremely good hunt while Ikki, Glufs and Gralk pitch in on regular early morning farm chores. 

The wolves are well fed. You have 20 sp worth of meat for the party and 30 sp worth of meat for the Alderleaf Farm. You also have 60 sp worth of hide and materials including deer hides, two nice fox pelts, antlers, bones, sinew, etc.

After selling/trading with Endure who does manage to salvage a hide armor for Glufs and promise to have options available in a tenday, you reach the Miner's Exchange where TT has some very interesting news for the party. 

"Blaire, Wolfsong, Good to see you're well." Eli will greet you as soon as he sees you. 

Blaire will nod to him then greet Robwin and TT. "Hey, Robwin, TT. What are you up to? Oh, sorry to interrupt." She'll say as she sees TT and Ms. Thornton working out some details.

(OOC: I was looking back and I can't seem to find if you told me what the 5 gems were that were with the geodes.)

(OOC: Disregard found it in my item description)

TT is looking rather happier and a little giddy when you all see her.

"I have fantastic news for everyone. I don't really want to say it out in the open. Please follow me back to the inn and Ill share it with everyone."

Rinn shrugs, "What could you need the privacy for? My interest is peaked! Let's go." He will follow TT back to the inn, imagining all the possibilities of what could be so important.

"Oh, um, alright, just one moment TT."

"Ms. Thornton? I'm Blaire. I would like to put a claim on a piece of land if it is available."

"Well, we can certainly start the process. A hundred gold down. Fifty is returned if a claim already exists and five percent of any valuable substances drawn from the claim. The claim fee and portion are typically much higher, but your party has already proven to be a very good investment.", Ms. Thornton replies. 

"Done." Blaire proceeds to produce the gold and outline the location and details of the goblin caverns and stream as best she can.

"And a name?"

"Oh, um, 'Fresh Spring Clan Cavern' and I'm Blaire Fannin."

"Right, check back with us in a few days. Off the top of my head I believe it is a valid claim.", Ms. Thornton replies with Tammy nodding accent behind her. 

Blaire will follow everyone to the Inn. If anyone asks, she'll tell an impressive version of Wolfsong, Gaatbort and the wolves taking down a nice buck, three does and some fox. One in particular when she spooked a doe and Wolfsong took it down with an excellent javelin through. 

Once we are all back at the Inn in a room. "I had all those geodes and gems appraised at the Miners exchange and they were worth almost 7000gp!! Ive never even seen that much money at one time." She begins to hand out sacks of gold to everyone. "Each of these contains 940gp for each of us." She hands Blaire a second small one. "This has 100gp for the goblins to help set them up a place to be safe, if you could see that they get it."

Blaire replies to TT, "Oh, oh, wow! I was thinking that when I laid claim for that spot we found the Cragmaw in. I know some of their kin are somewhere in the Mountain's toe area, but the cavern would be legal and I could probably do better with the wolves there and I was feeling we could keep another raiding brigade from forming and maybe... well, yeah, I. Thank you."

Looking around the room Blaire will say, "Look I heard Ms. Thornton say something about holding funds. And Sildar saying something like that yesterday. He is paying us from some account there or something?"

"I'm going to ask about doing that with a large portion of this and about that 'Black Spider'."

"Are we going after that Rockseeker? It's not noon yet. I need to get some provisions from Barthen’s and Gralk here wanted to see TT's mules."

"If we are leaving, I can get the others from the Alderleaf Farm. If not, I wanted Gralk and I to get back to the others and run the wolves a good bit and help the Alderleaf. I could send Ikki here for you to talk to or you could come with us to the farm."

"Also, Gralk says Glufs worried their king might be in a lot of danger or be a problem but hopefully not, right?"

At that Gralk's head and shoulders slump a bit but she nods. Blaire puts a hand on Gralk's slim shoulder. "We'll sort it out."

"Oh, and I want to see if I can get a crossbow."

"And noone else is talking. Sorry! I'm sucking up all the air. Sorry." 

She is squat down next to a wall next to Gralk. She just dumps herself on her but against the wall. And looks up at everyone else for comment, guidance, anything. 

Rinn's eyes light up as he takes the heavy pouch full of gold coins, "I've never seen this much coin before!" he exclaims in a loud whisper, "What do we do with it all though? There's nothing much here in town to buy. Well... not for this much anyway." He looks at all the others to see what they want to do next, "Well, I'd love to get on the road again and stretch my legs some. I don't remember if there were any jobs up on the board, but I'm sure we can ask down at the bar. Someone will know something happening around these parts, for sure." He stands up, chest puffed out a little, and gives a nod as if to say That settles it.

Robwin looks in amazement at TT. “That’s very fair and sensible of you, splitting the gold like that. If we all have a share there’s less risk than it all being in one place”. He gladly accepts his share.

”And a noble and worthy thing to do, to help the goblins and wolves set up a clan for themselves”. He nods and smiles at TT again.

He thinks, and then his eyes sparkle and open wide, “I have to increase my order! Of paper and ink! I’ll be right back!”... And with that he bolts out the door again, to find Sarah at Barthen’s provisions. “Miss Sarah, please double my order! ...I... umm... suddenly need more than I thought!! Ahah!”.

“And I know you only need a deposit, but I’d feel more comfortable if I could pay in full, up front.. umm...his time!”. If she is happy with that, he will place double his original order (200gp paper/inks and 40gp herbs/incense), handing over the remaining 180gp.

Then he will dash back to the others at the inn.

"We def need to go after Mr. Rockseeker, was that his name. Sounds like there is a lot at stake. If this Black Spider gets ahold of a magical forge he could cause all kinds of problems for the folks around here, maybe even start to push further north towards our homes. I think we should finish up our business here and set off first thing in the morning." When we are done discussing our plan TT would like to try and find out if any of the stores here sell any form of magical/enchanted items. 

(( Does TT mention to the party what she is going to look for? ))

Sarah is a bit skeptical about Robwin's mannic words and behavior until he produces the coin.

"Of course, he'll double the order. Well I will. Elmar will be very happy! The messenger hasn't gone out yet. Gotta get any notes from Ms. Thornton and Ms. Graywind. Doesn't make sense for everyone to send their own messenger."

That reminds you, any special gem or dust or components order, you can put through the Miner's Exchange.
