"Or a grappling hook or two ?"

Unfortunately not, master dwarf. My brother, Dingeran, he's the armorer in the family. But he ran off into the darkness ages ago hunting some supposed vein of mithril to make a special set of plate. It's a damn shame. He says as Sarith brings your raft alongside the trader's boat.

OOC:
a new set if chainmail or even splint mail would be great.
Jan 2, 2017 9:25 pm
Dustin will offer some coin for food rations as well as a grappling hook.
OOC:

(If that is ok from group funds)

OOC:
let's try any gear dump as much as possible here and get some coin for later. Even just trade gear for food and drink and sell what we can.

They would, but they are over the limits of what they have. As mentioned, they only carry ~90 gold worth of goods, and nothing over 15 gold per item.

If the group is ok with common pool fund use for common use items, I'm good with it. Just let me know how much you want to purchase. They'll only part with about 50% of their food stores (it's their provisions as well, after all)

also who ended up with the magic mace, I think it's one of my followers and if so I need stats for it

Ok will they accept some of our spare equipment ? If so we will try and wheel and deal for food.

Dustin will nudge Cemos, "Go ahead, let's see you haggle." Dustin smiles.

I don't know that anyone finally claimed it. Eldreth won't use it. Francis may, but he's Bildas. WHOEVER takes it:
Magic Mace: 1d20+STR / 1d6+STR. An action can set it alight with green fire that casts light as a torch. While alight, it deals +1 fire damage on a hit.

I think Francis has it so he can see, and we might have been using it to cook.

OOC:
I don't think we ever decided who wanted it.
Jan 2, 2017 10:55 pm
OOC:
Francis it is then. Who's npc is that?

OOC:
I'm okay with whatever trading you all do.

Ok purchase some food for everyone for a couple of days and a grappling hook.
Jan 3, 2017 1:47 pm
OK, if you'll be wanting some food, that'll be 10 gold for 20 ration packs. Grappling hook is 2 gold. Total of 12 gold. Since you are all kind enough to treat gently, we'll throw in two sacks for free. Anything you are all interested in selling to make up the cost or will you be paying in proper coin in full? the Duergar says, as he pulls the items out of various chests and sets them aside.

Dustin looks to his companions, "What say we just pay in proper coin ?"
Jan 3, 2017 2:26 pm
As you pony up the coins, the Duergar pulls out a scroll case. Sliding out a single sheet of parchment and a charcoal stick, he makes a series of marks on the page before handing it over, along with your goods.

Here's a receipt of goods lads, take it with my thanks!

After both coin and goods have exchanged hands, Sarith pushes you off, and you all take off downriver, once again outpacing the slower merchant craft. The next three days pass without any issue or act of interest. Even your scenery this time was boring. Narrow tunnels and unadorned rock. One morning, upon rising, you all feel a small bulge in your packs. When you inspect them, you find a rough linen sack laden with your gift items.

At the end of the fourth day of travel, you emerge into a small cavern and Sarith poles the raft over to the shore. About 45 feet distant, the river seems to just stop, as it diverts downward into a massive sinkhole.

This is where our river travel stops. We've another 2 days to go on foot to get to Sloobludop. Best that we rest here and make final preparations before heading out. Sarith says, already looking for an area large enough for you all to set up in.

Feature-wise, this cavern is small and plain. No faerzress permeates here, no mushroom forests or plains. Only the rush of the water and the rough-hewn stone surfaces. The river rushes in from the eastern side and there are two tunnels: one to the north and one to the west.
OOC:
I'll adjust the party loot page to reflect the purchase.
