"Greenskins....contageous unhealthy people?"

She's not used to seeing goblins and orcs. Until she met firebeard she hadn't met dwarves.....

More like orcs, goblin, hobgoblin etc...

You make your way to the house of Lord Kyle were you are welcomed and brought into a meeting with him.

"My friends welcome! I heard the news that the attack on the fort was a glorious success a short while ago! I will have some men sent to secure it immediately." Some servants come in and place a chest on the table. "The second half of your payment as promised, 150 gold for each of you. As an additional reward I offer you a choice between an enchanted longsword and an enchanted crossbow that belonged to a former adventurer. I would also like to make you another offer. Would you take residence in the fort an help guard it against attacks? I would pay you of course and give positions as officers among the men I will place at the fort. you wouldn't be force to stay at the fort all the time just check in as often as you can a few times a week at least and be ready to return if your called for help."

Min an Ozen nod and quickly accept Lork Kyle's offer.

Gloin will decline the offer of manning the fort.

"I ain't meanin' no disrespect t' ye an' all, bu' th' holdin' o' an officer's position ain't fer me. Glad I was t' be helpin' ou', but I ain't got a hankerin' t' be tied down under anyone's authority but Kols. Himself's got an almighty strong enough hold on me life as i' is."

"A place being subjected to a large place with ostroganiacs is not for myself."

"I don't feel like having all those sweaty men around, but I'd be interested in the enchanted longbow," Kirana replies while she wraps some of her hair around her finger, and tries to hide her blushing face.

Oh my, I wouldn't know what to do with so many men around! what if they all want to marry me?

"Eeeeeeep!" Kirana screams in a high-pitched voice, following the scream up with a lot of giggling an nervous fiddling with her hair.

Then lets go drinking an celebrate our victory !

"A shame I was hoping you would all take my offer but still two is better than none. I'm afraid fair maiden I only have a crossbow to give and no longbow...I don't supposes you would like to join me on a boar hunt this evening?...Your all invited of course. I enjoy the company of adventurers and love to hear your stories. My father was an adventurer you know, he killed a green dragon and most of his wealth came from it's horde."

Sure i'll tag along he says cheerfully

"Ok, i'll engage that game. TAG", as she slaps Gloin's back and hides behind Wagsy.

Gloin turns around and in a quick step move close to Wags and slaps her shoulder Your' It Now he says having fun

"Baby, I'm always it! But there isn't enough of us to have a proper game, well not that kind of game anyway. If you want to play a better version of Tag, let's get together in private latter."

He nods with a smile

So were you taking the +1 heavy crossbow or the +1 longsword?

"We'll take the heavy crossbow then," Kirana replies to Lord Pembrose.

I don't think anyone can use it, but we'll just sell it.

"And I'd love to join you on your hunting trip! Thanks for the offer."

"Very well I shall have a hunt organised you can stay for now or return later if you have have some preparations to make."

I recommend getting healed up first.

Lady Freya will offer two castings of lesser restoration for 50 gold each and sell potions for 150 gold each. You can return tomorrow for more castings.

Gloin will be ready for the hunt in the morning after a night of Heavy Drinking, dancing and exchanging stories

"Shall we go visit the shops now? I want to get some supplies, and we can sell the loot." Kirana will go to town to check if stores are still open, and asks the others to come for haggling purposes.

@DireMerc: So with the new rules you will roll the Diplomacy for the haggling? Everything but the game of dice, and possibly the unidentified ring and the keys, can be sold.

You can still roll diplomacy I'm more concerned with opposed checks. Or checks you only make in certain circumstances such as sense motive to detect a lie. For example if I ask you to roll a sense motive when someone is lying to you and you fail the check you still know he just lied to you.

-The ring is enchanted to give the user control over a construct but you didn't find the construct in question when you searched the fort.

-What items are you selling and what are you keeping? Just estimate the combine value and roll.

Diplomacy 19 or less = 50% value on sale.

Diplomacy 20-25 = 60%

Diplomacy 25+ = 70%

I don't think I have enough money for anything I want, so I'll just hang on to it for now.

Gloin can assist in the diplomacy haggling :)

I'm keeping the game of dice, everything else is going to be sold.

Diplomacy (Haggling): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

"Buy my stuff!" Kirana commands the vendor, throwing it all onto the counter. Her sweet and innocent smile partially makes up for the unintentional rudeness, but it's fairly obvious Kirana won't sell the items for a better than average price.

I'll calculate the gold we get tomorrow. Perhaps we can still get 20, if everyone succesfully aids and some spells are cast? :P

Diplo assist: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Indeed Buy this good quality adventuring stuff. We don't need all that junk anyway.

he says trying to help

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

"They are not much proficient with smoothspeech. Simply we would sell you items."

Diplomacy assistance: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

I'm telling you we should have practiced this first with the inn keeper, he seems like the kind of fellow who would tell us if we are doing something wrong.

Selling stuff seems to be more in their alley Kira, wy don't we let them handle that part of the boring aspect of business and get hang outside?

I will give you the 60% for wags

@DireMerc: I can't find how much the Construct Control Ring is worth, could you please tell me?

Kirana takes the potion of cure light wounds and puts it in one of her pockets. The ring the party obtained in the fortress she keeps apart for the moment, not yet sure of its value.

The total sell value of the items would be 6270gp 6cp, but 'cause Kirana keeps some items it becomes 6240gp. Everyone except Kirana receives 1/5 of the would-be sell value, rounded up. This means they get 1254gp and 2cp each. Kirana gets her claimed items and the remaining sum of money: 1223gp 9sp 2cp.

While at the store Kirana also sells her longbow for 37gp 5sp, and buys a masterwork darkwood composite longbow with +3 strength for 730gp, plus 40 arrows for 2gp.

"I will go pew-pew even harder now!"

As long as you don't Pew-Pew my back deary he says smiling

I look at my bow and sigh heavily

Done shopping? wanna proceed to next day and go hunting?

Insane chuckling

Lilly wil have bought 2 clw potions.

@DireMerc: I was waiting for a reply about the ring's value so I can sell it. After the ring's sold I'd like to move on.

indeed ready to go hunting, Dwarven style :)

Ready t' chase down them thar beasties and wrassle 'em t' th' groun'. Bitin' th' heads off'n beasties is what we dwarves do best!

You can get 300 gold for the ring.

"I get 300 gold for this ring? Sweet!" Kirana sells the ring for 300 gold, and hands every other party member 60 gold, "Woohoo! Let's take a nap so we're fresh and pretty tomorrow when we go hunting!"

You all go home and get some rest. Heal your level and regain 1 str if your not full.

Let me know if you do anything today before going to the manor.

Kirana spends some of her time baking cookies, adding water to her travel cake mix and placing it in an oven for several minutes. Supplied with the necessary provisions Kirana will meet up with the others, eating one of the cookies while they go to the manor.

Delicious!

So it looks like we are all ready to go hunting !

Having finished preparations you go over to Lord Kyle's manor and you go out hunting with him two of his guards and one of his manservants.

Lord kyle is very curious asking all kinds of questions about your adventures so far and is also quite flirtatious focusing almost all his attention on the women.

He tells you about other adventurers he has met also and is just in the process of telling you about the time he met the birds of prey when an arrow strikes him in the chest and makes him fall of his horse.

Your currently in a clearing on the edge of the forest and the closest tree is 200 feet away and yet that is were the arrow came from.

You don't see the sniper but you notice a rather large cat (a lion) in the woods around were the shot came from.

Lions are not native to this region. It is unlikely you have ever seen one before unless you have been to the mwangi expanse.

Ambush ! shouts as a warning Gloin when he sees an arrow sticking out from lord Kyle

The guards rush to lord Kyle and try to shield him from further attack. He is still alive but in bad shape and he is bleeding badly.

"He needs healing!" says a guard.

Lilly heads up to the fallen lord and starts to apply pressure.
To the guards she shouts: "Assist in me correcting this man's bloodflow."
Hoping each guard uses aid other seperately.
1st Aid: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Just use magic he says Casting a shield of faith on himself and moving 20ft forward toward the big cat
