Karl takes the ring from Elyan and places it in a pile with the other stuff that has been gathered on their trip through the citadel. He sifts through the stuff, looking for anything that might have been carried by, or taken from one of the missing children. He quietly describes each item to the bard, so that the blind man can contribute any knowledge he might have.
 


Karl lays out the following and begins to carefully appraise the items, one by one:

From dead goblin being eaten by dire rat in a pit outside the citadel:
--3 copper pennies w/strange and crude insignia stamped on one side. Opposite side is blank.
--hide pouch w/23 silver marks and 4 intact gold crowns of Velunian minting.

From Yusadrayl:
--3 scroll tubes (unopened and untrapped, best Karl can tell)
--small glass flask w/dark-hued liquid (Kaeleen judges this to be potion of invisibility)
--eagle feather

Found by Grotz:
--plain gold ring with the same crest engraved on it as the insignia he saw hanging from the Hucrele family manor back in Oakhurst (as a signet ring, worth 50 gp. Might be magical, though--it made everyone w/i 10 ft of Grotz tingle when he put it on)

From Calcryx's geldbed:
--a dragon-shaped figurine carved of jade (25 gp)
--a crystal goblet (10 gp)
--twenty-four silver spoons (1 gp each)
--a sealed scroll case crafted of bone with some sort of inscription on the outside (unopened and untrapped, best Karl can tell)
--two clear blue potions that smell of almonds (Kaeleen doesn't know what these are)
--a large lightweight pouch fashioned of soft grey leather (the leather seems special, Karl thinks the leather alone might fetch 75 gp)

From dire rat lair:
--small round disc of polished blue glass with a stylized wave stamped dead center on a black cord (pretty but possibly unremarkable. matches fancy dagger, though, so might be more to it. Karl puts necklace at 10 gp, possibly more if sold as a set w/dagger.)
--silvered dagger with a lapis lazuli inset in the pommel. Blade chased in gold w/same wave pattern as blue glass necklace. (masterwork, a lady's blade by the weight)
--rapier, plain enough but serviceable (10 gp)
--hand axe (3 gp)

So, the ring is magical, maybe we can use the ring for a while and then return it to Hucrele, Hmm … this look handy.
Grotz picks up the hand axe and examine it, then tuck it in his belt.
The rapier and dagger could be belonged to the lady's daughter.
He remarks and continues to look on the items.
With all that money we could purchase another keg back in town folks.
He then goes to rest again, hoping for some quite hours
 

Kaeleen : Female Elf Cleric of Corellon Larethian 2

Kaeleen walks over to the pile of loot and picks up the rapier. She hefts it and does a few practice swings with it. "This will work as a weapon for me until we find my equipment. Is that OK?" She then turns to Elyan and returns his dagger to him. "Thank you for the use of your dagger. I'll use this rapier, now."
 

Karl nods at Kaeleen's weapon selection. Then he considers for a moment, and lifts the lady's dagger as well, handing it to her. Best to have something to fight that which cannot be stabbed or doesn't like silver.

"This too. For now."

He stands up, brushing his hands off on his trousers as he considers the pile. Then he shrugs and looks to others for what to do next. There is still much to do, and not much of use in the pile.
 

Kaeleen : Female Elf Cleric of Corellon Larethian 2

Kaeleen nods at Karl and then places the dagger in her belt. Then she smiles at the half-orc rogue. "Get some sleep. We'll decide what we do next once everyone is rested."
 

Having just recently rested, it takes everyone quite a while to settle in for more sleep or meditation. A full 14 hours pass; whether it is now day or night up top is impossible to determine, but everyone at the last is rested, their gear is stowed, weapons are readied, spells have been prepared, and prayers have again been intoned.

Thanks for keeping this thread bumped while I was away. If you were down HP, the sleep/rest isn't sufficient to recover more HP--a full 24 hours hasn't passed since you last recovered HP. But Elyan will get spell slots back (though I don't think he expended any in the last battle against the dire rats). If you want to stick out more than 14 hours, let me know.
