). I'll post the XP awarded in a special sblock in the OP (I'll also track any pooled treasure).[sblock=treasure]Searching the bodies of the wererats (now reverted back to the humanoid forms - human, half-elf, elf mix), you find a variety of odds and ends and personal items (a lucky dagger, a set of elven knucklebone dice, one pair of lady's silken undergarments, a locket (25gp), a mismatched set of thieves' tools, and loose coin (175gp total), no identification papers or travel papers.)[/sblock]

Quan seems to be grabby as his scoops up some of the odds and ends along with coins from the fallen were-men. He seems particularly fond of the lady's underwear.
After finishing off the wererats and searching their bodies, everyone gathers to decide what to do next. Once you’re close enough (and not fighting rat-men), you can tell that Ulrick appears more insubstantial, less solid than you thought. Once gathered Ulrick begins to tell his story.
” My thanks for defeating these rat-men. Now listen close because I don’t have much time. My name’s Ulrick Stormhammer, Paladin of Onatar. My temple, The Pool of Onatar’s Tears in the Cogs, was burglarized.” As he speaks you can see that he is already starting to lose what little physical form he has left.
”Our most holy relic, Onatar’s Forge, was stolen two days ago, for what purpose, I know not. The guard on duty that night was my younger cousin, Fredrick. Baldwin butchered him, and then performed a foul rite to steal Fredrick’s blood. Only by communing with his spirit were we allowed figure out it was Baldwin. The temple’s mages and clerics were able to find an obscure ritual allowing them to send one champion – me – to face off with Baldwin, the thief.” Ulrick’s legs are now completely dissipated; his torso is next to dissipate.
”I will continue to harry Baldwin until one of us is dead. Please, hunt this thief down and when you’re finished and have either captured or killed Baldwin return to my temple in the Cogs with Onatar’s Anvil, and they will reward you handsomely.”
Just as he fades completely away, his voice calls out, ”Be vigilant, my friends. Our paths may cross yet again!” Only white colored motes of light remain, until they too fade from sight, leaving no trace of Ulrick.

Quan idles a bit. I can go back to the tavern if we want another sixth, maybe I can buy a fifth while I'm there. Then we get get ours from them that's downstairs.
