The Reclamation of Zahvroma (Inactive)

Game Master Signore di Fortuna

"I'm alright," Charity says. "Just trying to take a deep breath and relax. I...I feel like I have to look over my shoulder to see if Basir's there. I wasted so much time...trying to...do whatever it is I thought a Midwife was supposed to do."

"Well I think Konstantyna might be able to help with that too. She seems to be very devoted to duty." Rhadya says sitting beside her.

"Thank you that should be enough for me to find them." She says before turning to her sister. "Mind if I borrow your place for a bit, Cyna?"

"I think I'd rather pursue my previous career as a cavalier," Charity says. "There are some people made for this lifestyle. I am not one of them. I prefer to be in the thick of battle, valor, glory and all that."

The halfling chuckles. "It's who I really am."

"I love you too, Drago," Yulia says. "How about we clean up and go home?"

Halfpocket smiles as Rajni and Dillon enter. "What can I do for you today?"

Grunting she sets the large bag of stuff on the floor in front of the counter, "It would appear that when he died my father left these things for Arista and the others to bring back to me as a kind of inheritance or whatever. I have no idea what half this stuff is or how much it's worth. I doubt I'll end up keeping all of it...but if you could figure it out for me then I could give some to the town and keep some I guess. Do you have time to look through it? It seems like quite a bit..." She says hoping that he can figure it up for her so she can at least take care of that.

"Sure, I'd like to see what we're dealing with anyway." Cyna answers.

"Kjell, come help me," Halfpocket says, going around the counter to look at the bag.

The half-orc comes up. "Should I wear the spectacles?"

"Probably," the halfling answers.

Kjell takes out a pair of bifocals and puts them on. He then opens the bag. "This is a lot!"

Halfpocket drags over a table and the two begin sorting through the items. Most of the gold, jewelry and gems go into one pile, a ring with a single ruby goes into another and small sculptures go into a third. After about an hour of sorting and appraising, Kjell hands the ring with the ruby to Rajni. "It grants one wish. I should think you ought to keep it."

Halfpocket writes out numbers on a small pad. "To the right people, this is worth about ten thousand gold, but that would require time and investments of your own. I can give you seventy-five hundred gold for it all right now."

Rhadaya flashes Charity a grin. "Can't argue with you there, there's definitely a rush that cones from wading into battle."

Time remnant!

Rajni's mouth hangs open as she takes the ring from him and sort of stands there dumbfounded for a moment, "Uhhh...yeah, sure okay. Wow...I guess he wanted to make sure I was taken care of? I've got more important things to do than go around trying to sell this stuff so I'll take it. I can give part of it to the town and then hold onto the rest I guess. Thanks for helping me with this." She says as she stands there with a stunned look on her face.

Rajni takes the ring he handed her and puts it in a pocket lest she forget and use it accidentally on something stupid.

Halfpocket nods and counts out seven hundred and fifty platinum pieces. He puts them in a small satchel and hands it to Rajni. "You're welcome."

"Well, that was easy enough," Dillon says.

She nods, "Now I guess we go see Barclay and give him some money? I just...I don't know what I would even do with all this. This is....quite a bit of money to me and mama, auntie Priya, and Elena have always made sure I have what I need....so I don't want for much. It's just...it's weird...ya know?"

Looking over her shoulder she gives the two a wave as they head out of the shop.

Getting out the door she slaps her hand to her head, "Oh for the love of...I'm so stupid. I still need to see Halfpocket about some things. Since Juhi is gonna probably be coming to live with us and I'm gonna be training her I still need to get her some things. Maybe I should give some of this to mama to help take care of Juhi? I don't know, but I do need one more thing."

Turning almost as soon as they're out the door and going back in she says, "I'm sorry...I almost forgot the other reason that I'm here. Would you have, or happen to know who has a child sized bow? I need to be able to train someone very young and I need a working bow that they can practice with that isn't a toy."

Halfpocket shakes his head. "You'll have to see William at the south of town about bows. I'm just a general store for the most part."

"Sounds good to me," Drago said before giving her a peck on the cheek. After taking the bag of flour to the back, he helped her clean up.

When they finished, he asked, "Ready to go home?"

Alethiro stayed for the meal, although he admittedly didn't eat much in case Arista wanted to eat dinner with him. It was nice reconnecting again, and he would certainly try to make an effort to do this more often. After all was said and done, the bid his family farewell and headed home.

Uh oh....

I don't want to be in trouble.

Why would you be in trouble?

Because....cuz I left town without telling anyone, and went to Priroda which apparently is like four hours away even with two horses and a cart, I haven't eaten since noon, and I have Celine with me. Unless it's after 10 at night when you get home, I won't be there with no explanation as to where I went, except that my armor, weapon, Theon's sword, and bag of holding aren't there either. As soon as people figure out what I did and get a hold of me....I'm toast. It may not seem like that big of a deal....but the heart of the issue is that I left, while pregnant and with our toddler without telling anyone where I was going. The fact that the tower is active doesn't protect us from everything and even though I forgot how far away Priroda was I still should have told someone. That's why....I know there's gonna be at least a few that will not be very happy with me. I don't know....it makes me nervous.

Oh.

Right after a statement about not being in the field anymore to Konstantyna. See if she ever takes your word at face value again

Not the same thing as being in the field.

*whimper whimper* If I had known how long I would be gone I would have said something. I thought I was just gonna be gone a couple hours at most and would be back before anyone noticed. I'm not excusing what I did, I didn't do it on purpose though.....not really.

I took two of the largest horses to hook up to the cart, thinking that it would be faster. I didn't know that it would still take four hours even with Star and Azlan pulling it. Would it help if I said I'm really really sorry and I'll never do that again or go anywhere without telling someone? I really don't need a babysitter, I swear I'll be good.

Taking Dillon's hand she heads to the south end of town to find William after giving Halfpocket and Kjell a final wave. As they head that way she says, "I wonder if that's just something I can get, or if he needs to see her to get the size right?" She kind of shrugs, "Was there anything you wanted to do today besides running errands with me all day?" She asks as she leans into him slightly.

Yulia nods. "Let's go."

She holds the door open for Drago, then locks it and walks arm in arm with him back home.

"Well, they make bows for halflings and gnomes, I'd think," Dillon says. "One of those should work for a seven-year old. As for doing something besides shopping, I have a couple of ideas...No, maybe just one idea."

She giggles before giving lowering her arm a bit to give his rear a nice squeeze, "Oh...is that so?"

"I guess we better get going," Ylrhea says. "My butt's starting to fall asleep."

Alethiro returns home to find it empty.

"Seems like you're figuring it out," Dillon chuckles as they reach William's shop.

She just smiles up at him before going in the shop. Approaching the counter she says, "Good afternoon....would you be William?"

Clara nods. "I'm just going to head on home. Thanks for the fun time...aside from that Basir bulls***."

"Actually, I'm Farber," the man answers before pointing at the younger man sweeping the floor. "That's William."

Celia smiles. "Thank you for showing us around, Clara."

Clara nods and puts a gold on the table. "Not a problem. Damn...that was a lot of goat...I feel bloated now..."

With a wave, she heads out the door and toward her home.

Charity nods. "Let's head to the temple and then see Konstantyná."

Tesia hears a knock at the door.

"Oh...I see, well..who would I talk to about making a bow?"

Getting up she goes to open the door while keeping one hand on the hilt of her sword and a spell on her lips.

Barclay stands at the door, a tired expression on his face. "I wanted to let you know that we have Basir in custody. He will be executed tonight...it's up to Charity if she wants to be there but it will be at the town square. She also has a say in the method of his execution though we generally frown on anything prolonged or torturous."

Farber nods at the younger man. "I deal with leather, I've no head for weapons myself."

Putting a hand on his arm she nods as her eyes grow damp. Looking down slightly she says, "Thank you....she's upstairs talking to Rhy right now I guess....we still need to get her to the temple for some healing. Some of her ribs....well they were broken and kind of protruding. I really think she'll just want to put this whole thing behind her and move forward, but I'll let her know what you said. Thank you...for everything."

She nods as she looks at the younger man sweeping, "So...can you make me a bow?"

Barclay nods. "By the way, have you seen Arista lately? If she's going to be helping me out, I'll need a scribe for this...incident."

"Aye, anything special?" William asks.

She stops and thinks for a moment before scratching her head, "Come to think of it...I haven't seen her all day...but once we get Charity taken care of I can try to find her for you if you like." Looking up at the Paladin she asks, "Have you seen her at all today? I know she said there were some things she needed to do....but if I have some idea of where to start looking it might make finding her faster." She says as she looks up the stairs to see if Rhy and Charity were coming yet.
