Thorvin will reply to Glowkindle: "Aye, I think we have took care of your problems below. There is a trapped area down there. Alton here disarmed it but, you need to be aware of it. Do you want us to escort you below where you can have a look around? We also found a few items you need to be aware of. For one is this spellbook."
"We also found some potions, and we believe that the giant rat problem came from one of the potions being broken by the rats, with them lapping up the liquid afterwards. We identified the liquid as some sort of size changing potion, I believe." Venovar motions his hand towards whoever is carrying the potions.
“I believe other than the potions and the spell book all we found was a set of plates. If you put in some work to polish them, could be a very good present for the missus.”
Glowkindle listens to each of you recount the events from the cellar and beyond. "By golly! Giant spiders, centipedes... and a skeleton... my oh my. No wonder ye all are lookin' so dirty. Listen, I honestly had no idea'r about all of those... critters you met down there. Jeez I thought it wuz only gonna be those darn rats me and my workers saw. I mean, we all knew this used to be an old wizards tower, but who woulda thought he'd still be down there. Or was it a she??"
He continues:
"So listen here, I know I told ye all I'd give you 25 gold each, but what ye did down there deserves far more than that. I can't afford to pay you more, but ye can keep the lot of those there potions you found... and heck me and the missus are stock full of silverware, you can go ahead and keep that too."
(You can all add 25gp to your sheets, and Alton you can keep the plates)
Glowkindle shakes his head when Thorvin hands him the spellbook "NOOOO WAY my good man. From the tales I've heard about that wizard, I don't want that devil's book anywhere near this place again! Tis yours to keep. Although I'd suggest burnin' it, immediately!"
He responds further:
"Me and my workers will take it from here... seein' you cleared all the baddies outta there. Although perhaps ye can indeed show me that trap down there... we planning on demolishing the entire basement anyhow for the cellar, but may as well give the lads a heads up."
So - Thorvin quickly takes Glowkindle back down, shows him the mosaic trap, etc. etc.
You are all back up in the brewery, and Glowkindle says:
"Listen here. I don't normally overstep my boundaries, but you folk seem like ye can take care of yourselves. One of my colleagues, Lady Landy... er, I mean professor Landy that is... well she's been after me for days now askin' if I had any muscle from the construction to spare to help her out with somethin'. What that somethin' is I gots no idea... but I think y'all will fit the muscle requirement right nicely."
"If you're interested, I'll put in a good word. Ye can meet her over yonder at the 'Spring Shoot' (any PC who is familiar with Neverwinter knows that this is a quiet inn, mostly frequented by halflings, gnomes and the like.). Alton here'll fit right in! Thanks again to all of you. I'm really lookin' forward to gettin' back down there and building out our cellar and storage!"
So - you all sit in the Wizard's Tower Brewery. It's late afternoon. It's getting really busy. They serve meals here as well as brew beer, so you could get food/drink if you wanted, or head into town to shop, or go immediately to seek out Professor Landy. Or perhaps something else? You can even split up if you want. Either way, you'll have to eat soon. Even if it's rations. Depending on what you want to do, we can role play some merchant interactions, or anything else you might want to poke around the city for.
At any rate - this is where our next adventure begins! I'm going to rename our campaign and thread, but it should all be seamless.
As Thorvin, Glowkindle, and the others come back up from the downstairs tour he will say to Glowkindle: Aye, I'll take you up on the offer for a meal and a brew. You make a good ale but, I was wondering......do you brew a stout? If you do I would like to give it a try."
"I can stay here for a bit and have some ale, but I need to go check on somebody afterward. Let's meet back up in the town square tomorrow afternoon!" After Venovar washes up, he goes up to Glowkindle at the bar and says "Could I have a lager please? Preferably in a small quantity, like a pint."
Thorvin will suggest to Venovar: "When we finish eating we will head over to the inn and get a room there....if the others agree. We could meet there and try to find the professor in the morning. I think we will need a place to rest tonight and I don't think Glowkindle has rooms here."
After dinner Thorvin will ask: "Can either of you point me in the direction of the Spring Shoot inn? I would like to get a couple more drinks and some sleep. I know you have other business to attend to and you can meet me there in the afternoon and we can search for the professor then."
“I can show you to the Inn, Thorvin. It would be my pleasure. As for Venovar and Gotur, if you don’t wish to stay the night at Spring Shoot, I will meet you in the square tomorrow.”
When we part ways and are heading to the inn; Thorvin will keep an eye open to see if there is a Temple dedicated to Tempus or Selune. If he finds one or Alton knows of one he might return to it after he secures lodging for the night.
I will note that Alton drinks and eats quite a bit. This causes the route to the Inn be much longer and meandering than usual. Not sure if he would know any temples (that’s not really what he does), but I will leave it up to you. Also at some point, Alton will anonymously drop off the 25 gp he earned at his parents house, but will not interact with them at all. After that, he should be ready for the next adventure.
Glowkindle brings Thorvin the best stout that the Wizard's Tower Brewery has on tap. "I trust it will be to your liking, my good man! Say, that's a mighty fine beard you sport by the way. 'Been noticin' it since y'all came in. Always been jealous of a dwarves thick beards! Hah Hah Hah!"
You all realize now that Glowkindle is a bit drunk. He's been celebrating your success in the basement since you all got back. Now he can properly expand his business.
"Bah hahahaha! Mr. Gotur big-man, I've never heard of an Orc askin' to wash up! Heck yes good friend of course, the water closet is yonder to the left just past the bar. Ask the barmaid to show ye if ye can't find it. And watch the ceilings! heh heh heh"
Glowkindle gives you all half price on the beverages and food. Anyone who eats at the brewery can subtract 3sp for the meal, and 2cp for each beer/stout you drink. Venovar your lager is one less since its smaller. (pint). He then bids you farewell for the evening as the brewery is getting very busy and he needs to work. He stumbles away, chuckling as he does so.
If you drink 5 or moredrinks either at the brewery, or at the Spring Shoot Inn, please roll me a CON save which will be for the next morning.
Thorvin, please roll a perception check to see if you can find a temple of Tempus or Selune in the vicinity of the Inn. With disadvantage if you have had 5 or more drinks.
Venovar, who are you going to check in on? We can role play that in a PM separately if need be, just let me know. Same goes for anyone else who wants to do some side RP with your characters that they do once they split up for the evening and the actions are something that you don't want the other characters knowing about.
Alton, you end up dropping off the 25gp at your parents house with no interaction.
The sun starts to set in the city. Evening draws near. Let me know if I missed anything from you previous posts.
Can everyone confirm if you're staying at the Spring Shoot Inn? If so, the cost is 8sp. Breakfast in the morning, if need be, is 5sp. If you're not staying at the Inn, let me know where, either via here or PM.
(I forgot to mention, if any of you want to do any shopping, whether it be for weapons, armor, or items, different merchandise or anything else you might be looking for, please let me know the general idea of what you're looking for, like what kind of shop etc. and then roll a perception or an investigation check to see if you can find the place. With advantage if your character is familiar with the city, and/or if someone (Alton) helps you find it.)
Thorvin will reply to Glowkindle: "Aye, I think we have took care of your problems below. There is a trapped area down there. Alton here disarmed it but, you need to be aware of it. Do you want us to escort you below where you can have a look around? We also found a few items you need to be aware of. For one is this spellbook."
Thorvin will hand the book to Glowkindle.
"We also found some potions, and we believe that the giant rat problem came from one of the potions being broken by the rats, with them lapping up the liquid afterwards. We identified the liquid as some sort of size changing potion, I believe." Venovar motions his hand towards whoever is carrying the potions.
