Other junk: 5gp

Chee-hu is not sneaky, so if Darastrix came up and asked him, he wouldn’t be hiding what he’s doing.Dec 27, 2019 11:49 am
The old man shakes his head. "Oh, I have no problems with your ship. However, if you are willing to sell her to me, I'm happy to offer you a price of 5000gp. This is the best price you can find around here for her, these folks have no eye for value..." He gives a wink.
Dec 27, 2019 7:47 pm
As much as I love the sea, I love gold more. How would you be paying me the 5000gp?
Dec 28, 2019 2:20 am
The blacked clothed smiles. "That's great! I'll be back with the payment! Come with me, boys!" He says to the muscled men that were pretending to be bystanders as he hobbles away.
Will Chee-hu still attempt to go ahead to sell all the items he has taken, or wait till the old man returns with the cash?

Chee-hu would pocket the flag, saving it for later. He would also attempt to sell the remaining items, but do it discretely, bringing Darastrix in on his plan.
Dec 28, 2019 4:35 pm
Darastrix says to Chee-hu after hearing the plan, Aye. Best you get another to haul more quickly to help rid this ship of anything sellable, before the old man returns. Quite a surprise to Chee-hu that Darastrix is looking to unload the ship quickly and seems to be looking on him favorably rather than string him up for stealing.

Does Darastrix and Chee-hu activities bring in any other to help/share...Last edited December 28, 2019 4:51 pm

With the two of you helping each other to take down extra stuff, such as the sails and the steering wheel, you two quickly hauled the goods to the nearby store. As you do this there are a couple of surprised bystanders watching you.
The store merchant looks at your items with his monocle. He rubs his mustache. "I could offer you 100 gold pieces for all of these. But don't bother haggling me, this is as much as I can give you for these second hand junk." He says in a haughty tone.

Chee-hu would have stashed the flag in his bag, because he would think that the Cap might want to use it for notoriety at some point. Would that affect the price being offered?

Darastrix has no trouble with the deal. She get rid of the stuff fast as she soon wish to get rid of the ship as well. Then she wish to enjoy the tavern before closing in for the night. As she secretly takes her time to herself.
At the tavern she keeps to her portrayed portrait of Captain Red. She advises Chee-hu to be ready to move and may be just before dawn.

The deal is done fast. The two of them exit the shop to wait at the ship for the old man to return with the money. Soon, he comes over with his men carrying over a chest. Upon opening it, 20 gold bars are stacked inside, each worth 250gp, totalling to 5000gp as promised.
Later that night, Darastix led her crew to the tavern to celebrate reaching land safely, and for defeating Captain Chainfist. The locals are surprised by the tale, and some are even skeptical. There is a couple of rough looking men who asked for proof of the victory. If so, they would willingly buy everyone a round of drinks and pay for their night stay.
Would you show the skull flag, the black pendant, or both?

I didn't post for the days earlier about the black pendant if I had learned anything by looking and use of detect magic. She isn't very good one for research but she tries just the same to fathom anything she can about the black pendant of chainfist.OOC:
Results would determine if she shows off one or both or neither.Last edited December 31, 2019 4:38 pm

Chee-hu is not smart, so he would pull the flag from his pants and he would display it proudly as he stood on the chair that he was on. "Pay up, ya arse!"
After the chuckling subsided from that comment, he would jam the flag back into the front of his pants.

I looked over Chee-hu’s character traits, and unfortunately, this is exactly the way that he would respond. Get ready for some rough housing in the tavern, I guess.

Not a problem for Darastrix if it starts a bar room brawl. It only serves to excite her. She doesn't fight like a lady.

Are the other players in this game?Jan 1, 2020 5:59 am
OOC:
Yeah, I'm also wondering about that.[ +- ] What Darastix found
Arcana: She can tell that the pendant is enchanted with strong innate Black mana. Something like this gives bad vibes, such as the creepy whispers you can hear when you hold it. Also, as it came from within Chainfist's chest, it probably fuels him with the powers of undeath. Any other purposes it may have is unknown to you.
History: You know nothing about an artifact like this. The design carved on it does remind you atleast of a straw-woven basket.

One of the tough men looks pissed at Chee-hu's tauntings, but when his other friends started laughing, he joins in the raucous.
OOC:
You can still start a brawl if you want. Though, you don't need to.load next
