d20dazza, just a heads up, my character handed bail three items, the amulet, the spellbook, and the piece of paper hidden inside the spellbook. and someone, he didn't read out the location on the parchment, he purposely kept it hidden so no one would notice. his rationale for this was two fold. one, he doesn't entirely trust the dwarf. who knows what he's up to or what he's involved in. so he doens't want him to get a hold of any information. he's going to let everyone in on the info once they are alone. two, he's afraid that if rayni and/or mel notice that he's hiding stuff, they will say we shouldn't be taking stuff off the unfortunate goblins. there families might need it, etc. once talk shifted to alerting the guards, it became even more imperative in his mind to keep these things hidden until later. oh, and he pocketed the gold, because he's a greedy bastard and he's like that.
