Victory
The party makes its way back up the lift, out of the ruined citadel and back to Travensburg. Your return is greeted by the desperate villagers with general awe and reverence.
Lord Traven approaches the victorious party, shaking the hand of each in turn. Upon receiving the details of the raiders base of operations, he comments, "What use would the Death Priests have of raiding. The Laughing God has a reputation of generosity towards his clergy.." After a moment of silent reflection, his features become energetic and friendly, "Regardless of the political headache this is bound to give me, I am thankful Whiteclove sent me such competent freebooters. Tell my former squire that he is still skilled in choosing associates. I will send some of my men to retrieve whatever supplies and valuables are still present in the caverns. You are entitled to whatever I can not claim. I do not find myself in a hurry to begin excavating that dwarven ruin..we barely have the men neccessary to tend our fields let alone do the bandits' job for them. I will loan you the pack animals neccessary to transport your gains back to Duvik's Pass. In addition, I would like to grant you each 100 gold to compensate you for your capacity as agents of the crown. Again, you have my abiding thanks...may the sacred Covenant look kindly on you all." The proud knight gives a long, sharp salute before returning to his duties.
Everyone recieves 1000xp. Upon returning to Duvik's Pass, the various objects of value retrieved from the ruins can be sold off, which nets each party member a total of 720gp when added to the bonus given by Lord Traven. Go to the ooc forum for guidelines on leveling. Good job everyone.
