[QUOTE="nimisgod, post: 1679878, member: 10283"] [SIZE=1]ooc: I'm sorry to hear about your mother's ills. I hope that she gets well. [/SIZE] I've attached an XP and GP log on my character sheet. I'm assuming that the 2000GP we received took into account the advance we got from the Brothers Jasperfist. The days after the investigation's completion were welcomed by the Deep Halfling. T'was a fine thing to finally experience happy days after a mission. This was unlike the days of sorrow following their expulsion of the Ferals from the Monastery of St. Feragon. Sir Ishmael's happiness was short, however. An explosive series of headaches began to trouble the Halfling only one day after his mission's completion.
