A Problem of Nobility or Things that go Bump in the Night (Covaithe Judging)

Georg looks at Raiyek and admits It will be at least 50gp but I would like to spend 10gp of my own to add the ritual to my spellbook rather than using a simple scroll. He looks around at their surroundings. Would it not be better to discuss all of this in the streets above, perhaps in The Hanged Man in their back room?
[sblock=OOC] I think a few people are for going out of here, so can we only go to the Hanged Man between games? Otherwise we can go to the tea shop and use their back room. Assume we are doing the one that works, renau1g. In any case it definitely seems like a good time to get treasure, money and XP approved by covaithe if we are going to buy a ritual/etc.

"I'd like to see about getting the hilt on my old sword transferred to this new beauty, but that can wait until we run out of pressing concerns. Let's go get this journal translated, and I'm going to see if I can find anyone to sell me a javelin or two."

It's over.... or is it?
Georg feels feverish as the group is finalizing their plans and preparing to head out of the sewers
Grim however feels fine.
Travelling back to the tea shop, the place is darkened and quiet. As you enter you see a note on the table where you originally met Captain Dumain, along with a small chest. Inside the chest is the gold originally promised to you for your efforts, plus a small bonus for each of you.
The note reads: Firstly, allow me to thank you for your efforts to rid a significant thorn in my side. The Poisoned Shadows were beginning to irk me and so required action on my part to see their attempts to gain inroads into Daunton blunted. This is my turf and nobody will encroach on it. You have done a fabulous job thus far and perhaps I will contact you in the future for additional efforts, but today celebrate your victory and know that the streets are back in control of he who has rightfully earned them. Now, good luck and if we ever meet, hope it's not you who has crossed me, less the head mounted on the wall will be yours.
X"
You now hear some muffled cries and moans coming from a closet in the back. Opening the door you see a bound and gagged gnome, with a burlap sack stuffed over his head. Taking it off the gnome says "Oh thank you heroes, you've saved this poor ol' gnome. I was working here in the tea shop when suddenly I felt a stabbing pain in my back, then darkness. I awoke only a few hours ago with this sack over my head. How'd you find me? What happened...?" he asks.

Georg contracts Filth Fever (lose 1 HS), Grim successfully overcomes it.
Congratulations. This is the first game I've been involved in that has successfully completed and most of you lasted till the end

Yeah, I only planned to run a small adventure. Less risk of ppl dropping out. I might try and put together a sequel to this, after all Mr. X is still at large... I would like to keep it like how LFR adventures are set-up, but more challenging, I find a fewer more difficult encounters work better than many easier fights. I should have probably beefed up the final encoutner a bit to last longer, but was worried about TPK...
As for what's next, I suppose you can update your CS and head back to the tavern, although I might wait until Covaithe approves the treasure/gold.

[sblock=ooc] thanks for the adventure renau1g. I loved it

"Well then, off to the watering whole for many amber waves of grain. I hope to see everyone there. The first, second and third rounds are on me...HA HA HA! We'll see Raiyek after he cleans himself up a bit...HAHAHA!" Kruk leaves the tea shop and walks down the road to the tavern, making no effort to clean the sewage off his armor.
ooc: this action takes place after we get paid and get experience points of course
[sblock=everyone]
I look forward to adventuring again with everyone, especially the sequel when it comes about.
