[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 9087691, member: 59816"] Escella, who had joined Grottur in searching the gnolls' chambers, returned with yet another sack of looted coins and gems. This one contained about half-again the value of the wizard's stash. [ooc]That's a total of about 2500gp when you put both together and count them.[/ooc] Discussing their goals with the newly-rescued Wizard, the group went over the following facts: Goblinoids had attacked Joulkoun; Orcs had attacked the Floshin Estate (and nearby settlements); and Gnolls had attacked a caravan from Waterdeep (bound for Daggerford). All of them had evidence that Red Wizards of Thay were behind it. The Red Wizard, Thegger Grinn had, before he died, admitted that the scheme was to bring the Titan Sing-Axe "back to Toril".
