Arien Thursday October 26th, 2000 11:21:50 PM
Arien gathers together the party members that he can find and informs them of the treasure situation. "We have here an accumulated total of around 40,000 gold pieces. With 2,000 to Damocles that leaves us with 38,000 to split 7 ways. If we split it into 5,000 each that leaves us with 3,000 left over which can be sent to the families of those who lost thier lives during this ordeal. What does everyone say to that?"
Ruthat's Weapons Shop (DM Kim) Friday October 27th, 2000 12:09:35 AM
At the weapons shop, Draax finds Ruthat, and pretty much the identical weapons and such that were there last time he checked, except that the weapons the party purchased are not there. "Welcome, welcome. How are those things I sold you?" Ruthat gets a curious look on his face. "Funny, I remember selling things to you and some of those lads who helped out the other night on the big wheel, but ... well, never mind. Oh, well done, well done at the ceremony, by the way. It was bad, coulda been worse, hadn't you all been there. Back so soon? What can I interest you in today?"
Damocles Friday October 27th, 2000 12:18:30 AM
Damocles shrugs his shoulders in response to Bill and Draax. "There's a reason I went into the clergy rather than mathematics... And I'm sorry about your feelings Draax, perhaps with time they will change, perhaps not. In whatever way you help know that you have the blessings of Alemi." Damocles carries on into town to complete his prior actions.
K'isst Friday October 27th, 2000 12:46:28 PM
K'isst befriends some ducks near a stream which she begins feeding daily some pieces of bread. Soon one of the uglier ones who is always picked on by the others, and usually doesn't get as much food, is eating out of her hand. She sighs, thinking, "Patience is a "good" virtue....a "good" virtue....a "good" virtue....
Draax Friday October 27th, 2000 7:12:16 PM
As Draax enters the shop he returns Ruthat's greeting. "Thank you, your weapons are working out well for me and my comrades, I just came in to take another look at your daggers, bows and arrows." Draax smiles as Ruthat's remembers an event that happened in a different time line, but he figured that since he was missing the amount of money that he brought the sword and shield with that somehow it all would fit. Draax take his time examining the weapons, testing each one and draining Ruthat's brain dry on his knowledge of each one that Draax finds suitable.
Sedar the Spell Searcher Friday October 27th, 2000 7:38:43 PM
"5,000 apiece .... I wonder how far that will go at the Mages guild. And as for the 3,000 left over, I say we donate that to our Local chapter of Wardd's church. They have been extremely helpful to us, even though they may not be aware of that fact." Then he moves on to find that local guild again. "hmmmm money to burn, this may be lots of fun" and the half-elf makes haste in route.
Arien Friday October 27th, 2000 11:30:13 PM
"Eh? Mage Guild? Now that you mention it I could always use a few more spells, I'll come along if you don't mind." Pocketing his share Arien follows Sedar.
Rond Sunday October 29th, 2000 9:58:59 AM
As the word gets spread amoung those patient party members ( ;) ), Rond will pick up his part of the treasure, leaving it in gem form.
Bill Troublefinder Monday October 30th, 2000 8:27:31 PM
"Hmmm, some for the families, some for the temples. How about this?" Bill proposes. "250 gold for each family who lost a member in the Sahuagin attack. The rest split, 500 for the temple of Wardd - Hiram Veril is the priest there, and 500 for the temple of Mittiri - because they gave us some things that helped us on our foray against the sahuagin. If any of the eight who died do not have family, how about the first 250 to the farmer whose barn was burned, and the rest, if any, to Capt Bearclaw for training up some replacements for the militia, and equipping them?"
"There isn't any mages guild here in Windhorn Hamlet, Sedar. But in the city there oughta be! Maybe you and Arien can swap spells."
Bill goes to see the "hag" at the House of the Crystal Sphere. He tells her that he and his friends met Atomos, who told him to send his greetings to her. "He said he remembers you fondly, ma'am."
He speaks with Bearclaw about the boy, Merik Andovin. "Captain, I think he has talents that could serve this town well. But, he's prone to mischief. I'll tell you, though, he has eyes that see much and ears that hear much. And, I have a feeling that he is a survivor. Keep your eye on him, if you would, sir." Bill gives the captain 500 gold pieces. "For you and your militia, sir. You showed your mettle at the ceremony the other day!"
Just before lunch, Bill takes whoever wants to go with him to visit his family a couple miles outside of town. He introduces whoever joins him, enjoys some of his mother's cakes, and leaves behind 500 gold pieces: 100 for his father, 100 for his mother, 100 for his siblings ... and privately 200 for his mother to squirrel away, "in case of emergencies."
Ruthat (DM Kim) Monday October 30th, 2000 8:44:05 PM
Ruthat shows Draax once again his selection of daggers, bows and arrows. He has a selection of good bow strings. A compound long bow that requires significant strength to pull (18/76 or better) is available. Plenty of arrows, sheaf and flight. A larger-sized quiver, able to hold up to 36 arrows (with room for six arrows in each of six compartments) looks like it might fit across Draax's back well. Costs five times what a normal quiver goes for. Throwing daggers, a punching dagger ("Just found this in a drawer," Ruthat tells you), boning knives, spearbow arrows, fishing arrows, and eight arrows with cloth wrapped around the shaft just behind the arrowhead. "Dip that in this oil here," he says, holding up a small bladder, "light it, then shoot the arrow. Stays lit pretty well. Don't wait too long to shoot after you light it, though." (Arrows and oil: 80gp.) There is a longbow that he'll tell you, "Seems to have a little magic about it."
As Draax looks these things over, Ruthat's niece comes in and whispers something in her uncle's ear. He says, "Oh, all right. You'll have to excuse me, but I'll have to close up in five minutes. Should be back tomorrow afternoon, but won't be open for more'n an hour, say at three hours past midday."

Learning from Draax (I hope) when Ruthat is in, Bill goes in to buy 80 darts, or as many as he has, if less than 80. He figures in the city there will be more options.
