John..Best wishes. Fight with every trick you can get so you can win. Remember my suggestions of Silversheen,Haste and any potions or trinkets that will aid you.
Andrea casts any needed spell to heal John fully.
Andrea heads back to the safehouse with Mathalen and the others, carrying Ermolo's body.
After we break the news to everyone, I will go to sell the gems. Lucrezia wants that ring, does anyone want the magic leather or rapier?
"I just want coin", Truk grunts.
"And my brother..."
edit
Editx2: Andrea will also meet with the Lawyer and asks Orsin to come along to help lend his verbal skills.
John you meet the pleasant Quincy Blackthorn, the proprietor of "Fizzles" the potion shop, and he heartedly greets you. His red hat stands out, along with two cauldrons brewing items. "Good afternoon and how can I help you."
Hello Andrea...and Orsin... was it a successful mission?
Before Gerald Andrea your buddy Nathaniel will greet you at the city morgue. "Aye liked the kid...he had courage. he told me once he was smithing, that's a great lose I'm sure."
"So a zombie Dragon turtle did this? That is amazing ...never heard of such a thing...powerful magic to turn such a powerful creature to undeath."
Yes, we new him from the beginning, his death is a great loss. We do wish to keep him here for potential reviving after we negotiate it. Like when we revived the dead guard. Andrea casts Gentle Repose on Ermolos.
We just need to keep him here with Sunny, on our coin of course.
Hello. It was..very difficult, but we found some items that may be of interest.
Andrea places the special elven coins on the table along with the gems. Some good finds I believe. rare coins and some nicely cut gems, perfect for setting.
I hope we will be able to meet with the lawyer and arrange an agreement for the release of Orn. I'm certain the Hellknights will be able to be convinced to turn their attentions elsewhere.
Like an anxious animal, Truk paces back and forth at the safehouse while he waits for word from Andrea.
Nathaniel nods, "Of course...anything you need. Seems to me there have been some strange happenings with the dead" He shrugs, "Mournhollow has had a few strange rumors flying about," he comments. Andrea you know that is one of the low income graveyards.
"heard of a few bodies gone missing. Grave robbers ...perhaps...possibly more devious plans"
he looks at the coin and shakes his head. "nothing special kyonin coins, still in circulation, printied in the last 15 years."
The gems are nice...good quality and value.
"Enough with the pacing Trouble. Why don't you find a better outlet for all that restless energy?"
Truk growls and huffs.
"Like what?"
Indeed, we will keep that in mind, perhaps it is connected with the past troubles.
A pity about the coins, but thankfully the metal is still good.
"I am looking for potions that will copy a spell an associate of mine uses, one that makes me move faster. I also beleive I need a potion that will grant me flight."
"Well, considering your mood right now, how about some sparring?"
"No weapons, just some hand to hand fight, maybe some wrestling."
The coins spend as well as any others, Gerald responds. "Sorry about the loss, I'm sure that will greatly disturb Gruum," he pauses, "the young man had a talent at the forge, I hear." his bushy eyebrows go up. "That could affect production of gear."
Truk stops mid-step and cocks his head.
"That might be a good idea", the big orc says with a nod. "But with who?"
The wizards grins widely, "You are looking for a haste position....yes..yes I have a few here."
"Me. Unless you're scared to fight me."
Truk raises a heavy brow.
"Not at all. I know you can take it", he says with a growing grin.
"Let's see what you've got Beautiful."
"Thank you" John will buy a potion of haste and a potion of fly.
With that John goes back to his mentor's house.
In an attempt to catch Truk off guard, Lucrezia wastes no time in throwing a punch at him.
"Ow!" Truk howls as the woman's fist cracks him across the jaw.
"That was a cheap shot."
The coins spend as well as any others, Gerald responds. "Sorry about the loss, I'm sure that will greatly disturb Gruum," he pauses, "the young man had a talent at the forge, I hear." his bushy eyebrows go up. "That could affect production of gear."
Indeed he did. we are looking into reviving him if things go well. There are a few..alternate methods that might be available. Particulary one that might leave Ermolos a bit..different than before.
"Yep, it sure was. So what are you going to do about it?"
Truk shakes his head to lose the cobwebs.
"You're lucky I like you", he answers with a playful growl.
The big orc circles with his fists raised until he spots an opening. He quickly steps in and throws a hook into the ranger's ribs.
Faelyn heads into his private room in the safe house and sets Khazrae down on the bed. I guess that was your first combat outing in awhile. I will need to pick up some stuff from Talbard's and then we will be off for Delvehaven.
Faelyn lights a smoke and takes a drag. He holds it out for the Erinyes to take a drag.
The smoke comes out of Khazrae's mouth and neck when she takes her drag.
Lucrezia staggers back under the half-orc's powerful blow, cathcing her breath for a moment before she lashes out at him again. "Geez, I hate to feel how you hit someone you don't like then."
Truk tries to cover up as Lucrezia rains blows down on him.
"I take it you've done this before", he manages to grunt.
Seeing an opening, the big orc throws an uppercut.
"I get angry when I scrap with people I don't like."
"Did you forget I worked as a bouncer with your brother? Be a horrible job for someone who didn't know how to throw a punch or fight dirty."
Lucrezia throws a couple more punches at Truk.
"He mentioned it. He just never talked about how well you could fight."
Before she can throw another punch Truk grabs her wrist and steps in close.
"What now?" the big orc asks in a low voice.
Lucrezia growls in frustration as she fails to break free of Truk's hold.
Truk steps around behind Lucrezia and traps her arm there. He pressed his massive sweaty torso against her back.
Despite her struggles to free herself from Truk's grasp, she finds herself being pinned instead.
Grimm heads to Grumm's with Andrea.
All this talk about raisin. Ye ever think they might not WANT te come back. They died in service, especially Duncan. I'd be right pissed if I were up there, drinkin the mead with me god an ye called me back from Paradise.
"Why don't we pick this up in the other room", Truk said in a low tone.
The big orc's intent swelled thick against Lucrezia's backside.
Lucrezia's struggles change direction. Now instead of trying to pull away from the burly half-orc, she's now trying to press herself against him.
"I appear to be stuck at the moment. If you want to 'pick this up in the other room', then you'll just have to pick me up and take me there."
Eager to please, Truk scooped up the beautiful ranger and darted for the bedrooms.
Once in the room, Lucrezia teases: "So now do you wanna see if you can pin me to the bed?"
Already way ahead of Lucrezia, Truk untied the knot holding his breechcloth in place, shucked off his boots, and tossed her onto the bed.
"Orcs are born wrestlers. Let me show you", the brute said with a grin despite his bloodied lip.
Lucrezia quickly wiggles out of her own clothing and boots while Truk is shedding his.
"By all means, instruct me in the ways of your orc wrestling. I am your humble, and naked, student."
Grimm heads to Grumm's with Andrea.
All this talk about raisin. Ye ever think they might not WANT te come back. They died in service, especially Duncan. I'd be right pissed if I were up there, drinkin the mead with me god an ye called me back from Paradise.
That is why we will ASK. If Duncan is dead set on staying dead then so be it, but I want him back here with us even if he is just forging away at Grumm's.
Besides, perhaps he would like to be a Godparent.
Ermolos died fighting but it was a stupid fight that should have never happened and he had his whole life ahead of him. Duncan..well I don't know how old he was but he lived long, Ermolos was young and deserves a chance to grow older and perhaps tell his family about how he helped Westcrown become shadow-free.
Orsin eavesdrops on the Grimm's and Andrea's conversation, his gaze fixed in pretense at a Pathfinder Chronicle in his lap. His eyes widen in terror as he realizes the host of horrors that await him after death.
He closes the book before announcing to the others, "I'm going to the library."
Take care. I'll have your share of money ready when you get back.
"Uh-huh," he responds, as if in a daze. He exits the safehouse silently, embarking for the library with dark purpose.

Godparent? Girl I ain't even shagged ye yet. Bit early to be talkin about little bastards runnin a round. Bwahaha!
Once back in town, Fluer surfaces again and helps Andrea with business.
