Lost Mine of Phandelver Adventure Thread - DM Jynne

"Thank you good Sir Barthen. One always appreciates a reward for their efforts although in this case I feel the greater reward is ridding the world of several monstrous nuisances. Have you any knowledge of others preyed upon by these goblins?"

Sheyla had stood by the side as all of this happened.  If she could avoid manual labor she would.  That, and she felt absolutely disgusting after the days events.  They had trampled through the woods, become absolutely soaked, her clothing had holes in it from being shot with an arrow and likely her bandaged were doing as much to keep grime in as it was to keep it out.  "With a slight huff, she says, "Can we please head to the inn... I'm in desperate need of a bath, and some new clothing."

Velshir says to the others “I’ll meet you at the inn”

He heads over to the Lionshield Coster

"That sounds like the best idea Ive heard all day." Joshua says to Sheyla. He will head to the inn as well

Iymbryl sees his coworkers moving in different directions and decides that it wouldn't do to let Velshir roam around unaccompanied. Following his fellow elf the warrior makes his way to the Coster as well.

@Joshua and Sheyla  (and Unthir and Loren if they follow to the inn)

In the center of town stands a large, newly built roadhouse of fieldstone and rough-hewn timbers. The common room is filled with locals nursing mugs of ale or cider, all of them eyeing you with curiosity.

 A short, friendly young human male greets you, "Hello!  Welcome to my Inn!  I am Toblen Stonehill.  Perhaps a bed and bath would be most appealing after such a long travel? I have 5 rooms currently available."

@Velshir

Hanging above the front door of this modest trading post is a sign shaped like a wooden shield with a blue lion painted on it.

@lymbryl

Barthen nods to Lymbryl and says, "The Goblins have been attacking merchant caravans for sometime now.  Linene at the Lionshield Coster had a whole delivery not arrive, though I think you may have found what happened to it.  Our main concern right now is the Redbrands making it hard on everyone, shaking down local businesses and flouting the townmaster’s authority.  It might be good for you to stay together as much as possible as they've been known to bother travelers."

Velshir goes in and seeks out the proprietor. If able, he explains to them about the supplies in the cave, and how to find it. He will offer to show how to find it, if necessary. He will recommend hurrying to claim the supplies before something else takes up occupancy in the cave. He will also offer to assist on the journey, if necessary. It should be added that Velshir is not particularly interested in the goods for sale; he’s an ascetic.

@Velshir and Lymbryl

Iymbryl listens thoughtfully as Linene explains the situation in town. Upon hearing of the Redbrands he turns to Velshir. "These ruffians sound like just the sort to try and roust out to protect the fine townsfolk. I don't know about you but I feel as if our current job has been completed. We have no idea where our employer has been carried off to but these simple people are in need here and now."

Velshir is in agreement. “With our allies I’m sure we could handle these ruffians easily. But they appear to be tired out. Perhaps we should stick with them, and see what the morrow brings? Perhaps pay a visit to this tap house?”

"AH, hello Toblen. We will be needing all 5 rooms, not sure how long for just yet. Several of our party are meeting us here. Whats the rate per room for each night?" Joshua, smiling, asks in his most charming voice.

Velshir bids adieu to Linene Graywind and heads to the inn to distribute the 60 gold among everyone - 10 gold per person. He explains its source, naturally.

Oh, Velshir has just remembered, before he leaves, he shows her the scimitar he got from a goblin, the one that's in pretty good shape, and asks if she'd like to buy it.

Honestly Velshir will accept any offer. He's tired of carrying it around.

Sheyla smiles and adds, "And price for a bath.  After the events of the day, a bath is needed."

Toblen smiles at your group and begins to respond but is nudged aside by his wife, "I've got this dear," she says as she smiles at Joshua, "Hospitality is my specialty.  We can get you all set up however you like, and the prices we can chat about."  (she whispers towards the end)  

@Joshua 

 "Well mind your hospitality doesn't cost me too much woman," He is overheard to whisper in her ear, but leaves her with a quick peck on the cheek and walks back behind the bar with a grin.  "Oh, and your friend Sildar left this box for you, said I wasn't to open it, as if I would dare."  It is sealed with the following symbol.

Prices for the Inn - Comfortable will include the bath, Wealthy will include especially hot water, a variety of soaps and assorted personal luxuries like better bed sheet coverings, candles, a lock for your door and laundry services. Prices are for daily on the bottom chart.  Used spoiler to save space.    

 @Velshir 

Velshir happily accepts the offer and returns to the inn as previously described 

Loren will pay for modest arrangements for himself, being particularly small, and requests a room with a window, if possible. He'll also pay up front for a mug of ale, a loaf of bread, and some cheese for his dinner. (subtracting 8 sp for modest room and meal)

Unthir will also pay for Modest arrangements and a Gallon of Ale for himself. (1g substracted) 

Upon leaving the coster and accompanying Velshir to the inn Iymbryl listens as the prices for the various levels of lodging are haggled upon. He tells the proprietor that he will take a fine room (wealthy) and asks about the laundry service, his tunic needing cleaned of goblin blood.

Velshir also pays for modest arrangements and food. He sits quietly, eats his food slowly, says little, and retires to bed early.
