Czespecem pases the ring and gem to Medwyn. " here, lad, are these cursed?"

He lets the silver coins dribble and jingle between his fingers as he recalls the Iron God's admonition ...

OOC:

does this seem to be the trove that the god warned not to tamper?

Wilric gives a low whistle once the chests are opened, "Well gentleman this is a nice haul." His brain starts thinking upon the problem of removing it. "If this is just a taste it could set us up well for the future. We probably need to get as much back as we can, get some more mules and possibly a cart."

He takes a hand full of slivers and allows them to drop out of his hand back into the chest, "We will need a better bank then the Inn."

"We could be a bank," quoth Czespecem, "if we had some way to collect our loans."

Theo's eyes glitter in the torchlight like dark gems as he stares hungrily at the chests of treasure. "The halfling is right. We need a way to get this out of here... And it needs to be quick, and quiet. In clearing out those skeletons, we've just made it a lot easier for anyone brave or stupid enough to come here to get rich... The cart and mule idea is perfect, but we'll need to carry as much as we can now to secure those back in town."

"It would be far better to give this to the town so it will be used to help the people.". He stares at the coins in thought. "With that said, shall we continue forward? Surely there is more glory to be found. "

So what is the plan? Stick around knowing that there is treasure here? Or bring back what you have found? Bury it like dwarfs?

"Oh. Uh, hm. Nope, I think they're fine. Probably," Medwyn says, trying and failing to project an air of confidence. He slips the ring on a finger and turns his hand over, admiring the gem glittering in the torchlight. "I don't mind the look of that at all--and it fits nicely! Really brings out the subtle hues in the thread of my cloak."

OOC:

As far as handling the treasure, I think it's a decent idea to bury it Hobbit style somehere pretty near the entrance of the monastery, then come back for all the treasure later. Fewer trips.

Wilric pulls a few items out of his backpack and put the aside, "Ok then let’s get moving this to the surface, and make like Dwarves."

Moves to the nearest chest and starts putting in as much coins as he can carry, starting with any gold first then sliver.

OOC:

Puts aside oil, 6 lots of rations and rope.

Hmmm... If we take it back we can get XP and be tougher for whatever else we run into, no?

Theo looks at Horace in shock. "Give it to the town... You give your share to the town! I'm all for pressing onwards for a bit, lads. Just keep in mind that if we don't get some of this back to town, then we can't get better gear. And the deeper we go... The more that matters..." He trails off gravely, and then snaps out of it. He smiles, slings his shield onto his back, and steps out of the treasure room among the pile of scattered bones. "So, what say you? Do we stay and delve, or cart this out?"

Ah. Just noticed Wilric's post. That's what I'm talking about, getting this stuff out of here. I need to look up how much I can carry and then adjust my inventory accordingly so I can grab as much treasure as possible and help carry it back. Will do that in the morning.

OOC:

GM, the weight we're looking at here is several hundred pounds, right?

If a coin is 1/10th of a pound (don't ask me for metric), then you're looking at 710lbs, rounded.

So, with a strength score of 13 I can carry up to 85 pounds without dropping from 12 to 9 movement. I'm at 55 now, so I can take 300 coins. I say we load up as much as we can, and go back to town and use it to get a cart, a mule, and some sacks. What say ye all?

Good point about gearing up/getting XP for what we've found. Happy to go along with that plan and haul what we can back, then come back with a cart or something. Though, I do have a mule, which apparently I bought during character creation and forgot about? That might help, hehe

I can't immediately locate anything like carrying capacity for a mule in the rules, but I imagine it's still better than carrying everything ourselves. I guess we'd still be limited to the containers we have available, but maybe we could fasten them to her?Just kinda spitballing here.

Just realized Eagerwish has a mule as well, meaning we have three beasts of burden that could potentially carry a chest each?

You have one beast of burden right now, and can return to town to get more. But that will be at least two days away from the treasure.

So, it sounds like it's everyone's favorite: math time! I'm taking 30 pounds of coins. That brings it down to 680lbs. How much can the mule carry? I don't see anything in the SRD, but for some reason I want to say it's 300lbs. If we divide the remaining treasure between the two chests, that's 340lbs each. Maybe if the rest of the PCs grab as much coin as they can...? Just spitballing.

Mark Medwyn down for 30 as well, bringing it down to 650 lbs. GM, is it just that I needed to have declared I had a mule at the outset when meeting up with the rest of the party in order to have access to it now?

OOC:

Can I get a refresh on the reasoning behind that? I was under the impression that we have:

Medwyn's mule
Eagerwish's mule
Mule that Czespecem inherited after my previous character

Did we loose any of these?

If so, I'm up for taking what we can and burying the rest near the entrance.
