Eggs and bakey wacon, and taters, and all kindsa nummy stuff. The lizard boat serves it up, and flapjacks. And beer.
"Welcome back from dreamtime, friend. How are your wounds? You had taken quite a beating in last night's affairs. Let me know if you need some mending, eh?"
Just to finish off the bookkeeping:
In addition to this - including money for the hookah and subtracting the identify costs, we get 5100 gp in coin, jewelry and the assorted other crap. If we sell the daggers and the shortsword, our net haul becomes 10100 gold!
rapier +1 - to Beldan
std leather +1 - to Beldan
4 +1 daggers - sell all four?
short sword +1 - sell it?
cloak of resistance +1 - to someone with dodgy saves. I'm thinking Gittik or Stiggy
Stig took a dagger and a cloak of resistance.
so....
5,100 g.p.
selling the 3 other daggers and 1 shortsword, it's
9,708 g.p.
or
1215 g.p. each.
Or does anybody else want a dagger or short sword magical..?
HUZZAH!!!
meh, I think it's kinda a dead weekend for pbp'ing, what with Father's Day coming up and all...

That's cool dude. I been oot and aboot; I think with Father's Day tomorrow, not much will get accomplished this weekend, and everybody's buying stuff anyhow....
Oh, and Elgan;...the beast form armor--looks like it costs a +2 bonus; might have to wait a while to be able to afford it and all.
Still time to shop, but:
As you're leaving the church, a thing of interest transpires: a young kobold in a blue tabard and blue turban wearing silken pantaloons
approaches you, the permanent reptile grin on his face.
He holds out 8 notes; and a money bag.
know: local: dc 10
"Good Marsters, I was told deliver these unto thee," he says in a yapping tone.
Read them?
Becton's note:
The Dancing Dryad
Everyone Else's note:
The Dancing Dryad
The bag,...
"What in the Abyss... This is a mighty nice piece of jewelry. Suspiciously nice, methinks."
None of it is magic.
The medallion is a massive trade coin from elfland; worth gobs of dough.
The kobold is an errandboy for the Dancing Dryad, a notorious den of gambling and cathouse in Saltmarsh.
"Ah dornt ne'er troost a feckin' kobauld wi' a sack ay bunsens. Weel Ah dornt ne'er troost a kobauld withit bunsens either, boot ef he's goat bunsens 'en sometin' bad prolly 'appened."
Having failed to make any sound other than a whimpering squeak, Stig tries to sell the bagpipes.
Squeak is too nice, too politically correct a descriptor.
150 g.p. for the selection of pipes.
A couple of shifty-seeming 1/2 orc ranger types think they can make a "bullywug lure" out of them.
“The Dancing Dryad … I’ve heard that the local thief guild can be contacted through the place – it’s like as not a front for them … The Anderhoffs were trying to muscle in on the guilds territory, so this may be the guilds way of thanking us,” muses Beldan, looking at the coin thoughtfully.

That's what, another 20 gp each.

The platinum coins have naked dryads on them; sweet!
"Sounds plausible to me." Altai pockets the Dancing Dryad coin. "How much is the medallion worth?"
Alot.
Anyone thinking 'trap'? We don't know the people of this establishment and yet they send us a huge reward for supposedly nothing to draw us into their web......sounds 'trappish' to me. It's not that I don't want to have a night spent in a strong embrace with good meade and loose morals, it's just that the idea of us going to this den and moving into separate locations within the building, invariably getting into many fascinating and compromising positions with people of which we know nothing, all at no cost to us, sounds too good to be true. Perhaps we should all go there and meet with the owner of the place to ensure his or her good intent toward us before we get caught with our Willies out and our trousers as new rug accoutrement and no help to be seen.
“Yeah, it does sound good!” says Beldan, still examining the coin and medallion and only listening to about a third of what Riese just said.
"No need to get too paranoid, Riese - however, if it makes you feel any better, I am willing to exchange your token with twice its value in normal gold. Fair's fair, after all."
"Also, these coins don't exactly expire. We could go there any time we want; today, tomorrow, or in three years. I'm keeping this thing until we're done with that Resurrection Man. After that, I figure I deserve a bonus of sorts."
Mwahahahahahahaaaaa!
Just kidding...
Elgan doesn't say much for a while, just enjoys breakfast with the others. When the kobold approaches, he is obviously more curious than wary. He has heard of them of course, but hasn't ever met one. And seeing a tiny lizard 'dressed to the nines' doesn't exactly engender fear in his undead-overloaded brain.
After having read the note, and having Beldan explain what it means, Elgan examines the coins as the others discuss the possible meanings.
"Purty gud rep'ersentation." He says, holding one of the Dryad coins.
Everyone Else's note:

"What this say?"
<a bit later, after someone reads it out>
"Hmm, you think Jane find out if we go?"
dragonhide...duuh...on the srd computer page.
Yeah; go for it, says I.

"Hmm, you think Jane find out if we go?"
"Um, well, Gittik... I very much doubt that Jane hangs out much at the Dancing Dryad, or that anyone she knows spend much time there. However, she is a smart girl, so who knows?"
"Personally, I'd like to get back to our mansion. The whole town seems to know about the raid at the slaugtherhouse, and that probably includes Vander as well. He's probably not best pleased; also, I suspect that he and his gangster buddies are both tougher and more numerous than the two Stoutly guys."
Becton says his note said that the 'medallion' or elven trade coin as it were, was apparently meant as a donation to the Church of Pelor....
And, any more shopping, or is everybody going to head back to the mansion?
"If it makes you anymore at ease, Riese, my token coin has been given over to the church. I won't be "indulging" in the Dryad's hospitality at this point; so at least one of us can keep an eye on things - figuratively mind you." The last part comes with a grin.
"While I think it's best to get back to the manor for a few days, if you want to check this place out - I suppose I could go as a representative of the church to offer my thanks."
I don't think the healing wand can be recharged; they'll sell you a new one at cost for 375 g.p., or trade your old one for a new one.
Holy water's wholesale too; 25 g.p. for 2 vials.
Remove disease scroll will run you 187.5 g.p. wholesale,
as will remove curse.
Anybody still need time to buy some stuff?
Anybody still need time to buy some stuff?
Also, I assume we are not doing item buy back - so I dont owe the party for the magic rapier and leather armour?
Right on;...
Beldan; yeah, assume standard prices.
I don't know if anyone's doing buyback or not.
No big hurry or nothing; I've got statblocks did up for the ship fight, might tweak this and that here and there...
Also might throw one more "random encounter" your way to get you all to fourth level....
mwahahahahaaa!
It sounds like you guys were heading back to the mansion. Let me know what time of day you want to take off and we can roll whenever, when everybody's happy with their stuff they bought and whatnot.
<takes paper, gradually turns it round while staring at it, until realisation dawns>
"Hee, hee! People doing it!"
heh heh....it's worth a retcon.
"So ... you want to come along babe?" Beldan asks Pharsia. "You're not going to stick with Vaulter any longer are you? And I ... don't think its safe here, with those Orcus cultists still lurking about somewhere, and Vander on the loose."
"I don't even know where Vaulter is. Sure."
right on...
