To answer your questions, I would say that the primary goal would be to ascertain the source of these attacks. The secondary task would then be stopping that source. As I mentioned earlier, you have proven yourselves to be a capable group. If you find yourselves in a position to end this threat, by all means, do so.”     Starting with Quan, he looks each of you for a moment, gazing down at the dwarves, up at the goliath. If he was surprised at Rikka-in-cat-form, it didn’t show. ”Once you agree to our commission, each of you shall receive 350 gold pieces, paid up front, with a bonus if you can return and prove that this threat is ended.” He gestures towards a silver coffer setting on his desk, easily large enough to hold coin enough for your payment.     ”Now as reward for defeating Baldwin, please accept these gifts, from the Church of the Silver Flame.” Vandrol opens a drawer and draws out a scroll tube (made of bone), three single vials, a cloth wrapped bundle that clinked when set on the desk, and a wooden box (artfully crafted in cherry, the symbol of the Silver Flame carved on the top), setting each on the desktop. He then stands, and walks around the desk to stand before you.Vandrol picks up the cloth bound object and unwraps it, displaying its contents. "First, here are 10 platinum ingots which should compensate for the value of our sword's return to our church."   [gm]The ingots are worth 100gp each; 2 per PC.[/gm]  To Muzdum, Quan and Rikka, he says, ”I can see those vile rats have spread their disease among you. The Silver Flame shall purify all those tainted by vile filth”. He walks to a gilded chest resting on one of the book shelves. He opens it and selects a ritual scroll and once unrolled, immediately spouts off a litany of prayers. You hear your names spoken as well. A fierce pain briefly seizes you and then suddenly, an inky black smoke begins to seep from your pours only to dissipate in the sunlight filling the high priest’s solar. After the ritual, he returns to stand near his desk, and picks up the glass vials. ”Also, a healing potion for each of you, for your task might prove dangerous.”  [gm]Muzdum, Quan and Rikka have all been successfully cured of Filth Fever and each receive a potion of healing.[/gm]  He picks up the scroll tube and turns to Braddock. ”I have prepared a scroll for you to use if you or your companions should become afflicted once again. Also, you are named Braddock the Historian, so the Church shall grant you access to our many volumes of the histories of Khorvaire to peruse should you need to. Upon your return, I’ll have a writ of access sent to you stating this effect. With that writ you shall gain entry into a library the likes of which few are invited. Is it not said that ’Knowledge is the truest weapon’?”  [gm]Braddock has been given a scroll of Cure Disease[/gm]  Vandrol actually has to look up at the massive goliath. ”And last but not least for you, sir, we give the gift of life.” He reaches for the wooden box. Lifting the lid reveals three glass vials containing the familiar color of healing potions and one vial with russet colored liquid. ”These potions of healing are blessed by the Silver Flame and will keep you hale when facing the evils in the world. The last one is a concoction that will help replenish your lifeblood when in dire need. Since you are also a healing warrior, I know that they will be put to good use.”  [gm]Orsik gains 3 potions of healing and 1 potion of regeneration[/gm]  ”Now the Keeper of the Flame and I want this issue resolved as soon as possible. How you travel to the King's Forest is up to you. If you should agree to our commission, we would like you to start right away. What say you?”[sblock=Pooled Treasure from Hysteria's Ascendency]I went back and updated the Pooled Treasure block. [sblock=Pooled Treasure]a gold locket (25gp), 175 gp in loose coins (Quan claimed the lady's undergarments), 120 gp, 3 moonstone (100gp each), elixir of dragon breath (fire), 430 gp, gold ring w/jade (250gp), 600gp, a large topaz (500gp), a finely wrought sword (see above).   [/sblock]That would be 480gp each.*NOTE: The value for the sword is NOT included here. See above.[/sblock]</blockquote>
