Unfortuantely, it seems the Captain has abandoned ship and indeed gaming altogether for the time being. So we'll have to move on without him. Sadly, I left my list of treasure at work, so you'll have to wait until tomorrow for the magic items, but it is a large collection. The total value of gems, jewelry and coins is 10,000 gp.
Guess we'll have to trudge onward without him then. :(

The Horde

H'Roosh dumps the treasure out on a table in the ward room aboard the 'Rumpled Bedsheet' where Radoon has laid Rook's body in state. Gnurl casts a detect magic cantrip and is forced to shield his eyes from the glow. A mug, 5 potion bottles, a rapier, a cutlass, a cold iron short sword with red runes (gold tooth's), a pistol (the ammo is not magical, but there are 20 shots with it, 4 earch adamantine, cold iron and alchemical silver as well as 8 lead), a cold iron dagger, 2 amulets, a vest, a suit of cork and canvas armor, a ring, a scroll, and a staff. Further three of the blades have crystals afixed to them that appear to be seperate magic items altogether. The total value of coins, gems and jewelry is estimated at 10,000 gp.
 

H'Roosh

"Well, first things first - introductions should be made. I am H'Roosh, of late a roving member of Captain Marin's crew. Believing you may have run into a little more than he prepared you for, the Captain sent me to find you. The currents favored me, and carried me to you just as you ran afoul of an old nemesis. I thank you for aiding me in ridding the world of him, though that was not your original intent, I think. Still, the sea will see that its justice is done. Mr. Whiskerling I've already met."

After the others introduce themselves, H'Roosh will go on.

"You should know that Annora has also claimed a share of this for herself and for her barmaid, for their risk of life and limb in the battle with Krûpe and Ferriede."

"That is only proper and just. I did, after all, do some significant structural damage to the place! I presume that this share of loot will absolve me of further responsibility?" quoth Gnurl.

OOC: I'd better get all the good out of Gnurl that I can, if they really are dropping the Gnome as a race in 4e!
 

Radoon

Turning to look at Gnurl and H'Roosh, very even keeled, he says,

"You have not caught me at the best time, one of my crew is dead and you speak of structural damage and treasure?...

Get out, now!"
 

H'Roosh

"Sir, not to lecture but from your reference to 'your' crew I take you to be the de Facto leader of this ship. I respect your grief, but you must see to the day to day workings regardless of personal feelings. I actually spoke of introductions before I spoke of treasure - may I have the honor of your name?"

Gnurl chimes in, "I also spoke first of other things, once the safety of YOUR remaining crew had been secured. And are you really dismissing me from your service after I just proved so helpful in getting these miscreants dispatched? In that case, I will certainly NOT leave without my fair share of remuneration for my efforts! I don't think that you really want a futher demonstration of my abilities."

OOC: I really don't want to start any crap, Mike, but Gnurl did just shorten this fight tremendously by taking out GoldTooth, and he doesn't appreciate you taking that harsh tone and ordering him about. He understands your feelings, and he's more than willing to apologize and try to make it up to you, if his contribution to the effort is acknowledged.

Radoon

OCC - Radoon has always looked out for the crew first and foremost, that was his job as first mate, to be an open communication channel between the capt and the crew. I am thinking he may be a bit overwhelmed at this point by having the capt gone and just losing what would have been an officer. As far as Radoon knows the capt is still around so his "get out" would not have been an order but more of a very upset sailor grieving for a friend who had his back no matter the circumstance.

IC - "This fallen man always had my back and now he is gone. I appreciate your help with the fight we were clearly unmanned for. You are welcome to roam about and use the ship as you will. M., will you give them what they need? I would like some time alone right now, and where is the bloody captain!!?, Does he even know Rook has fallen?"

Gnurl says, "Alas, I, too feel the loss of Rook very keenly. He had my back, too, you know. He even had my front and sides on several occasions! Let us use his share of the treasure to offer up a fitting memorial to him, and give the remainder of his share to his next of kin, if they can be located. Perhaps we might also consider giving some of the remainder of Rook's share to H'Roosh, since he stood ready to assist us if needed, although, thankfully, he was not needed. I think we are all a bit out-of-sorts due to this recent turn of events. Hopefully, cooler heads will now prevail. Come, Radoon, let me buy you a drink to calm your nerves and drown some sorrows! We'll sing songs about Rook!"
 

Radoon

"Thank you my new friend, but until the capt can be located, I will have to wait for that drink. I do like the idea of giving some of Rook's portion to the next of kin, We'll ask Marin is he knows where we may find them or if he has means to find them when we see him next."
