As the word gets spread amoung those patient party members ( ;) ), Rond will pick up his part of the treasure, leaving it in gem form.

"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 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.
