I nod in understanding, "Very well. Thank you for all of your assistance, it is greatly appreciated. Will you be following up on this information with the proper authorities, or should we? Your generosity is greatly appreciated and that is more than a fair price for those gems, considering everything you have done to aid us."
When we get back to the inn and meet with the others, we share with them what occurred at Laramon's.
"Laramon has discovered that the 'Elf Ear Stew Recipe' was actually a secret missive from, and I quote, 'His Most Fearsome Presence, the High Warlord Gurrok Mak, son of Turrosh Mak, True Herald of Gruumsh, Slayer of False Orcs, Harbinger of Doom, Leader of the Orcs of the Pomarj Empire' to 'His Most Cruel Excellency, Tharvok Bloodmoon, High Chancellor of the Orcreich.' In it, Gurrok Mak claims to be the chosen of Gruumsh because he wields the Bloodspear, which is apparently the symbol of Gruumsh's favor. Gurrok Mak seeks to have Tharvok Bloodmoon help him purify their race, erase Marek from their heritage, and attack a plethora of lands currently held by humans."
Looking to Kasnik, I ask, "I have a question for after I'm finished relaying all of this - who is Marek?"
Clearing my throat, I continue, "Mak wants Bloodmoon to destroy the Human kingdom of Perrenland. They will then converge upon Veluna; Bloodmoon from the North and Mak from the South. They will then push into Furyondy before going after the rest of the Western Flanaess."
"The recipe scroll is actually enchanted to take Bloodmoon to Mak's presence. If Bloodmoon swears allegiance, Mak will present to him a ring of power. They plan on using mystical gateways to enable their armies to cross great distances unimpeded."
"Laramon would like us to return to him on the 28th of Patchwall... apparently he wants us to steal the Bloodspear from Gurrok Mak." Looking to Respen I ask, "Did I forget anything?"
"That brings me to the items we have acquired. I will go about securing the sale of those left unclaimed, and split the funds accordingly. If no one desires anything else, I will see to it immediately and meet you all back at my manor. Would someone please show our latest compatriots the way to it so they don't get lost? Oh, also - do you each want to keep your venison, or may I donate the remaining amount to a local pantry for the poor?"
[sblock=List of items to be sold/split]
Keeping for group use:
- 2 waterskins (always handy).
- 50 ft. of silk rope (we already know there's a well in the forest we will have to go down).
- 3 Potions of Cure Moderate Wounds (just in case).
- Ring of Feather Falling - 2,200 gp. Tied to some fishing line, this might actually be useful to keep since multiple people could use it to get down from a height safely. If you disagree, say the word and we'll sell it though.
