Gerbo finishes his drink and then hops down from his stool to follow Kerisha. "Time to get paid, eh?"
OOC:
Agreed, let's go to get paid.

Just as you're readying to leave, the front door of Stonehill Inn opens and a tall man, silhouetted by bright morning sun, enters into the tavern.

"Good morning, My Friends!" he calls out.

Barely recognizable from the beaten and bloodied man you rescued from the goblin cave not even 24 hours earlier Sildar appears to have fully recovered. Freshly groomed and dressed in fine clothing, he approaches your table and gets right to business.

"I have yet to make contact with Iarno, but hope to do so later today. He should be able to give us some insight to the location of this Castle the goblins have told us about. For now, I shall be heading to Townmaster's Hall, I have some business to attend to there. You should stop by the Hall when you have a chance as I have secured payment for your services, as promised."

With that he gives a slight bow and head out the door.
Looking to get paid for the goods which you have assumed were delivered to Barthen's Provisions you make the short walk to the trading post. The building is by far the largest that you've seen in the town and is already starting to buzz with activity.

Inside you find shelves full of just about any type of gear one might need for traveling the Tri-Boar trail. A lean and balding man behind the counter yells back to the storage area.

"Ander, Thistle, those wagons aren't going to load themselves, lads. Let's get on it."

He turns and with a big smile asks "What can I do for all of you this fine morning?"
OOC:
Things to do list:
1. Get paid for the delivery to Barthen's (in progress).
2. Get paid for rescuing Sildar - in Townmaster's Hall.
3. Talk to the guard about what they're doing about the Redbrands.
4. Investigate the tunnel that Kerisha found with Carp.
5. Profit!?

Belanor walks up to the man.
"Good morning, We've come to seek collection of payment for the goods rendered to you by our delivery yesterday. I believe a man Tyr, had delievered them to. I viewed his wagon out last evening."
Mar 29, 2021 10:31 pm
The man flashes an amused smile and shakes his head.

"Ah yes, Tyr, hard man to forgot. Tells quite the tale of how he single handedly fought off a goblin ambush all by himself while the rest of you fled in fear. Something tells me that's not quite what happened..." his eyes fixate on Kerisha's finger-necklace.

"...group of you don't look like the fleeing in fear type."

He reaches below and plonks a pouch on the counter. "Now Tyr said he would have been more than happy to collect this for all of you, but I'd imagane ol' Gundren would want those he hired to get it first hand. Tell that crazy son of a bitch that Elmar says 'hello' for me, would ya?"

OOC:
Elmar? unknown, does Gundren have a wife? :D
"Much obliged! Tyr has a spoon for feeding many tales. But as they say theres always a little bit of truth to every story."
Belanor opens the pouch and makes quick count of the coins.
"Looks good." He'll divvy out the coins applicable. "We'll do!"

Belanor holds cause he refreshes the pages to often and waits for the group.

OOC:
Elmar is the man that is talking. Sorry, should have made that clearer. There's 40GP in the pouch.
Mar 29, 2021 11:09 pm
OOC:

Belanor would separate that as 10g for each.

Gerbo laughs at hearing the story Elmar was told. "Yeah, that boy is all bark and no bite if you get my drift. Luckily Kerisha has plenty of bite to go around."
Mar 30, 2021 10:25 am
Kerisha gives a tusky smile to Gerbo and Elmar. Noticing Elmar eye her necklace, she is disappointed there aren't more trophies on it to show off.

While the other are talking, she looks around at any goods on display. Her old and knicked blade is doing a decent job, but goblins are squishy. If she is going to tackle stronger foes, she needs to be better equipped. Then she looks down at her tattered hide armor. Her skin has not thickened like others in her tribe, it's part of the reason they looked down on her. So Kerisha has to rely on extra armor to protect herself. But there have been too many close calls. She needs more protection. First though she needs more money.

Eyeing the merchandise, Gerbo scans the shelves and racks for a set of Tinker Tools, hoping to get his hands on another set after the set he'd had since childhood had recently been broken in a scuffle after a con gone bad. "Hey Elmar, you got any Gnomish Tools around here? My mind has been craving some stimulation."

Orel grabs his healer's kit out of his backpack, taking stock of the bandages and salves he has missing. Couldn't hurt to be prepared.
OOC:
Given a healer's kit is usually 5 gp for 10 charges, could I restock 1 charge of my kit for 5 sp or something?
While looking through the goods with Kerisha, he notices her examining her old equipment. "I can spot you some money for some new stuff, if you'd like. It's going to be quite a while until I can afford anything better than ol' reliable, anyways." Kerisha understands both that "ol' reliable" is Orel's nickname for his chainmail and why he says the name with palpable sarcasm. "Although, anything nice is still probably out of our price range."
Mar 31, 2021 8:10 pm
"See that aisle there, the one with all the rope hangin'..." Elmar responds while giving a lazy wave off his hand in the general direction "...all kinds of tools back in there, I'm sure you'll find something that will suit your needs."

To Gerbo's delight, the shop keep speaks the truth. Among much of the other standard sets of tools one would expect to find there are at least half a dozen tinkering tool sets, one set, in fine leather case actually has the words "Nackle Family Brand" embroidered in Gnomish with golden thread. [50GP]
The selection of armor is a little thin and when Elmar notices Kerisha's browsing he speaks up. "Not our specialty, armor, weapons, and the like. Lionshield is usually the place in town people go for that need. What we do have, though, I'll take off 10% for ya, just to get it out the store."

There is an older, beat up chain shirt [45GP] that would be a tight fit, but doable. There is also a set of scale mail [45GP] that would fit better, but is a bit more cumbersome.
Seeing Orel looking through his healing kit Elmar offers up some refills. "Get a lot of use out of that kit lately?" he asks.
OOC:
@Orel - I'm good with the refills, buy the appropriate amount for the broken down cost.

Things to do list:
1. Get paid for rescuing Sildar - in Townmaster's Hall.
2. Talk to the guard about what they're doing about the Redbrands.
3. Investigate the tunnel that Kerisha found with Carp.
4. Profit!?

Gerbo's fingers start to twitch when he sees the tools. Easy, easy. We don't need to make enemies here. Elmar seems nice enough. He tries to calm himself a bit by clenching and unclenching a fist behind his back several times in quick succession. "I seem to be a bit short at the moment, but after we visit our friend Sildar can remedy that after we pay him a visit. I will have to revisit this then." Having said his piece, Gerbo will exit the store to wait outside for his compatriots before temptation gets the better of him. He was a good man and doesn't deserve to be robbed. I'll get it later. Maybe he'll make me a deal, and if not, I suppose I'll figure something out.

Karma follows the group through the town to Barthen's Provisions, he refuses the money offered up for work they did. "No dudes that would be bad juju taking money not earned, ewes are better adding it to ya pool." He waits patiently as you look over the merchandise.
OOC:
Happy to add that extra 10gp to Kerisha getting better armour or Grebo tinker tools.
Apr 2, 2021 6:14 pm
Kerisha eyes up the armor on display, then feels her rather empty coin pouch. She spent her last gold on tailoring her current armor, and hasn't really replenished it yet. She looks to Elmar rather embarrassed "Not enough money. Will come back."

Normally she would just kill things and either use what equipment is lying around or use the hide from the beasts to make new clothes or repair her old stuff. After using the meat to make a lovely stew of course.
OOC:
Thanks guys but its ok, keep your gold and spend it on more pressing things - healers kits are a must! lol!

Kerisha will always donate her gold to Gerbo for the tools though if you want them Pax?
