The thug puts a hand to his throat and gulps. "Um...um... there." he says pointing to a large chest in the makeshift camp.
Going over to the chest Therella sees a red leather bound worn book sitting atop the chest. It looks to be will used and atop the cover are the words "Andrax's Journal".
The dwarf not careing about old books takes a look inside the chest. And amid clothes and other personal items he finds a sack full of coins and gems.
The rest of the group searches the grounds for anything valuable but come up empty. Taking back what they can carry the group returns to Flint Tower with the journal.
________________________________________________________
At Flint Tower Andrax greets them warmly and confirms that the journal is indeed his. He tells them that they should return it to The Brotherhood of the Basilisk with his blessings and he will retire from a life of alchemy and adventure. The last thug of Sefaros' is allowed to retake up his post with Andrax and Le Jubb decides to stay at the tower a while longer to learn from the old alchemist.

The carriage ride home is dull and the party continues back to Venza in silence, not sure but with something nagging at their minds. Why did Sefaro wish to sell the book and to whom? Why didn't he kill Andrax in his sleep and take it?
There are to many questions and the answers to few. Maybe in the future you may learn something more, for now you have gold in your purse and a lust for adventure in your blood. Both which can be spent in The City of Glass.
[sblock=OOC] Sorry for the abrupt end but I found out I am about 10 days behind ending this. And with all the problems EnWorld had last week I didn't have time to run the numbers. I have tonight and everyone has reached LvL 2 congrats. I will be posting up the numbers tonight. And I hope a few of you can get into the adventures starting up at the inn.[/sblock]
