The dwarf throws his shoulders back and sighs, holding up the parchment. "Alright, gentlemen, this is what we have here. Anton, the one with the hat, appears able to handle himself in a fight, but by the looks of the bow on his back, may be better at range. Fimbus, an Illusionist, has a crossbow and claims to be effective with it. A'jardin, a Wizard with some spells that would seem to be quite helpful, also has a crossbow, but hasn't boasted of his abilities with it. Lynneth, a wizard with no ranged weapon, has yet to relate her skills. And Raena, the smart little street rat you like Charles. I get the impression she is quite proficient with her crossbow."
"That is not much muscle. We might as well hand the thing to them." The bald man grunts.
Charles pushes off the wall and stands in the center of the archway. "But it is some firepower. I like it. As James said, the archanist will be useful in Fallon."
"We need a few more days to gather our equipment and make the necessary arrangements. I suggest you go back to the Red Dragon and wait. We will send someone for you when we are ready to depart the city. Don't leave the Inn. We offer you 50 gold each for the trip to Fallon. An additional 25 when we reach Brimbor, and 50 when we are in Tharol. The reward for the return can be negotiated when we have obtained the item. We will need some time in Fallon to run some family errands. We may need some assistance, upon which we will pay you an additional amount." Charles places his hands on his hips and awaits response.

i noticed a few of you have your crossbows at one d6 on your sheets. a light crossbow is one d8 in the 3rd edition players handbook. was it scaled back for 3.5? if so, that sucks. I will check the SRD later, for now, I am starving. [/sblock]
