"Lokin my friend. Trying to get me to give Zurd money to prevent a future encounter with him is folley. I relish the thought of him attacking me. If he wants to exact vengeance he has but to try. The only thing I can offer Zurd now is his life. With that I am being generous. It seems the votes are decided. If you wish to pay Zurd you may do so..Out of your share. And Zurd..." he looks to the Half-Orc. "If Lokin is correct, you will find me...and grim death waiting."
OOC: still readying same action if Zurd acts
Zurd sneers. "This is a city, not that monster-infested dungeon we just returned from. You don't just attack people in public view and expect to get away with it. That's the surest way to draw the attention of the city guard, and from what I hear they aren't hard to find in this town. So..."
At that, he turns and walks out the door, pausing only to turn around and give everyone a mean glance.

At that, he turns and walks out the door, pausing only to turn around and give everyone a mean glance.
Kol breathed a sigh of relief. As much as he wanted to kill the half-orc, he did not want to make violence in the presence of a child. The war of emotions dueled within him but caring over rage had won out...for now.
After Zurd left he spoke again."So we must now appraise our items and divvy accordingly. I am hoping there will be enough to go around for me to buy off the ax and Lokin his shield. I believe we will sell the potions and scrolls. How much to appraise everything else?"
"The axe and the shield? That will be 220 gp. But if you have some pearls, I can buy you them for 100 gp each as it is needed for teh identification of an item." answers Jemeny

"The axe and the shield? That will be 220 gp. But if you have some pearls, I can buy you them for 100 gp each as it is needed for teh identification of an item." answers Jemeny
"Well we know they are magickal. How much is a magick ax and shield worth?"
OOC: what do you think guys? we probably can easily assume that they are each +1.
220gp is very pricey. Plus we have mundane stuff to appraise. Where so we do that?
If you want to sell the potion and scrolls now, and go somewhere else to get the rest of the stuff appraised, you can return to the adventure thread. I'll handwave the wrapup -- no need to roleplay the conversation with a nameless merchant -- and have your final treasure rewards.

"The price of a weapon with a magical enchantment is not lower than 2000 gp. 1000gp for the shield. If you have been using them and you can remove them, then the chance they could be cursed is very low, as such cursed item would trigger there curse during a fight, so it pretty safe to tell you could easily get half there value in most shop. We would have bought it if we were more in fund, but Rinaldo havn't come back yet from his last trip, so we have more items to sell and less gold for buying. But if you are interested in a rapier or a studded leather, all magical, we should be able to exchange it for your axe or shield and small amount of gold." explains Jemeny

So if you could...the shoppe would buy the ax for 2000? Kol asks before he leaves. And the shield for a 1000 gold?
OOC: Just wondering if we are using the DMG fullprice for items or what they would be worth if we sold them. I dont know if we will have enough treasure to 'buy off' the items if they are fullprice.
"That's a minimum value for such items." correct Jemeny "Now, most shops would buy it at half price. We are generally buying at 60% of there price. But the problem, actually, it is we don't have such amount of money in store. But if you are interested to sell the items and bought some we have, there might be a way to make a deal for you."
Valeria comes back with a pouch. She opens it and she takes out 21 platinium pieces. "That's the price for the potion and the scrolls. Are you interested to sell them or you want to keep them?"

Lokin looks around at his group and then looks to Valeria.
"I think we've decided to sell them."
Unless someone stops him, Lokin will pass the potions and scrolls over to Valeria and collect the platinum pieces. He will pass the coins to Payne.
"I think you should hang onto these."
Lokin pats his enchanted shield and then gestures to the axe.
"For splitting purposes, we should consider these items based on what we can get for them, not for what they're actually worth. We should add up all our coin, factor in these item's half worth, and then see if Kol and I can buy them back with our shares."
Valeria hands out the 21 platinium for the Scroll of Invisbility, the scroll of Delay Poison and the potion of Hide From Animals. "Thank, it is a pleasure to bargain with you."

While the group is still discussing where to go next for mundane appraisals, and whether to have the shield and axe identified or just trust their best guess as to their power, the shop door opens again. In comes Zurd, accompanied by two men in the Orussus Watch uniform. One of the men speaks.
"Good day, Mrs. di Senzio. I'm Officer Betunes of the City Watch. We have a report that one of your customers was held up by some other customers right in this shop a few minutes ago. Is this correct?"

rofl I would have never thought that would happen in my shop... too great. It is really fun to play some NPC in someone else game
As the officer enter, the guard in the doorway seems to relax a bit. Valeria welcomes the officer with a smile. "Good day officer. I'm please to see you here. Held up here you tell? The word is a bit strong officer, but things doesn't seem to be at ease among this group. I feared a moment that they would decide that words wan't the best way to solve there problems, but all these gentlemen, the six of them, have stay civilized and havn't done more than what could be interpreted as insulting each other. It seems they came back from a contract that have not gone too well and that create tension between them, but I suppose these gentlemen would be best placed to gives you the detail about what happen before coming here. They came here to identify some items. It seems that when Jemeny..." Valeria show Jemeny who is still standing behind the counter and nods at the officer when he is named "...identified which items were magical, the group was partially aware of it already, but they blame this mister" making a sign toward Zurd "to have hidden the magical nature of the axe. creating more contention between him and the remaining of the group. After that came a discussion on how to split the items and gold, as many adventurer like to do after an adventure, but some wnated to exclude him." making a sign again at Zurd. "He was never held up here, but he might felt insulted and might think the split is not fare for him, but no physical action have been done in this establishment, or it would have been me who would have come to see you, officer. We don't tolerate any physical aggresion or fight in our establishment."

"It would be almost humorous the hole you dig yourself Zurd. If it wasn't so annoying the way you do it." he turns to the Guard. "Is it a criminal offense to report a crime falsely?"

Betunes replies, "If you believe that has happened, sir, could you explain?"

"Simple...We stand accused of holding him up. Which I assume means robbing him by force. When we hadn't."
Zurd sneers. "By force, or by threat of force. Officer, it was this same man, who now denies any robbery, who first declared that I ought to be cut in two by the axe he calls his -- although it is as much mine as his, for we fought together against the vile orc chieftain who previously wielded it. He then declared that he would offer me my life if I forfeited my claim to our shared earnings. To offer an upstanding citizen a choice between forfeiting his duly earned property and forfeiting his life is recognized in every lawful city as robbery. It was this man, Kol, who led the attack, but the others agreed. Not one of them was willing to grant me an even share of our just earnings. I am not stupid enough to take on all five at once, so I turned to the law. I trust that in Orussus, justice will be done."

Payne, happy to have seen Zurd leave.. sighs with relief. About damned time the half-breed got the hint. She had turned her back now to look over the loot and was awaiting a total when the door opened once again. The cloaked female glances out of curiousity over her shoulder, and instantly stiffens at the sight of the law accompanying Zurd. You have got to be kidding me! Inhaling jaggedly; fight or flight? Slipping the cowl of her garment back to reveal her paled and scarred visage, Payne sizes up the situation with her two-toned pools before speaking. "Kol is to blame for your lying? You tried to cheat us out of a true magic item that you claim you had no idea its value nor magical properties. Kol speaking up had nothing to do with my decision on not wishing to share with you. I just don't like you - plain and simple." She shrugs."Not breaking any laws there. Trying to act all high and mighty now does not make up for your actions within the compound, Zurd. Besides - I believe when you stormed out of here moments ago you forfeited your cut."
A large human carrying a breastplate under one arm and armed with various weapons upon his person comes into the store...
Richard stops in his tracks... were these the same folk he had almost grouped with those weeks... (How long was it!?) ago? Why was there a fight in the air? The guards bristled at him when he came in, the glare in the eyes of several one-time comrades is plain to see and the city watch make it clear it is a tense situation.
"Um... hey. Excuse me... "Looking past the assembled, Richard meets the shop-keepers eye. "Perhaps I should return later?
OOC: wow... what an ironic meeting guys. I've been trying to get Richard out and shopping for days and the timing is just too weird!
