Redbadge's Crypt of the Everflame (IC)

[Etharia]

Lissa steps back from the body and looks out at the mist obscured lake. "Whatever else you want to do with him, I suggest removing him from the waters edge," she states as she starts to turn away. "I'll see if I can't find a decent camp site to set up at," she offers then, hesitantly, she stops in mid turn, "unless there is something else you would like me to do here."

 

[Redbadge]

Much of the clothing and gear has rotted to worthlessness, but you think his boots at one point were of a very fine make. In addition, his long black cloak has a deep hood, and he has a black bandanna tied around his neck, though it is now pulled down and most of it tucked beneath his cloak and shirt. His now worthless armor was once studded leather, and the sheath on his hip where a sword would go is empty.

Rolling him over, you find that he clutches an exceptional short sword that is in surprisingly good shape. By searching his pockets, you find a still mostly intact coin purse. Removing some of the coins, you find that they look fairly newly minted from the capital city of Tamran; each bears the likeness of Forest Marshal Gavrik, nominal leader of Nirmathas. Such coins were only put into circulation a little over three months ago; they haven't even made their way to Kassen yet, and this is the first time any of you have laid eyes on any. The only reason you know of them are the declarations posted in each town.

"It looks like our departed friend here might have been a highwayman or sellsword of some type. Either way, I think he's far from home," Joseph says while moving the body farther from the lake's edge. He takes the coin purse and the sword away from the body.

OOC: Is the sheath still functional?

 

[Redbadge]

Is the sheath still functional?

Not as such. It would probably fall into pieces the first time you tried to use it.

[sblock=Rewards]Masterwork Short Sword
87 gp[/sblock]

GM: Any thoughts of which reward ledgers I should add these items to?

 

[BudroThePious]

OOC: For now I will carry the stuff since the extra weight won't matter, unless someone wants to use the sword. We can divvy up the spoils later.

 

[Etharia]

Lissa heads off in search of a camp with Nyra guarding her back taking care to stay within sight of Gamble's light.

OOC: How about putting them on the person that has the strength to carry them. Isn't Gamble at the tipping point of his carry capacity?

 

[Isklexi]

Snaggle wanders over to aid Lissa.

OOC: Lissa and Snaggle can't even use the short sword. I'm not sure if it's any good for Gamble.

 

[BudroThePious]

Joseph moves to help Lissa as well. "We might as well stand watch in the same shifts as last night."

OOC: It's probably the wrong size.

[Courage]

"That sword is too large for me to wield it properly." states Gamble, while preparing himself much like he did the night before. He keeps his spell component pouch and loaded light crossbow at hand. "So the watch is the same, and the campsite is starting to look good, but how are we handling food. Just splitting another day's rations and sharing the remainder of the seared meat amongst ourselves and Nyra? Also if we want, we can refill our waterskins at the lake..." he eyes the corpse wearily, "But that obviously didn't work out for that guy."
