The Forgotten Forge

[Delemental]

Tai nods at Master Tellarr's offer for the artifact. "Normally I'd be more than happy to give you an opportunity to bid, Master Tellarr. But we have been hired by a specific party to recover this item, and since we are using coin from their coffers to pay for your services, I think it would be... impolite of us to entertain offers."

"When you have finished with Master D'Velderan, please attend to Master Marcela. My own wounds are less severe than his."

After this Tai turns to Grechen. "Mistress Grechen, I'm glad to see you awake again. I'm sorry my own abilities were depleted before I was able to attend to you. I'm glad to see no trace of a scar." She places her hand on Grechen's shoulder and squeezes reassuringly. "Hopefully we can recover this artifact without having to impose upon Master Tellarr again."

(Tai diplomacy roll 7+7)
Visibely dissapointed by Tai answers, he turns his back and Ask Pohl to sit on the table where Gretchen was sitting a few minutes ago. He apply his cream on Pohl's wound and like those of Gretchen they completly dissapears.

He digilently does the same for the two others. (You are all now back at full strength)

He then slowly starts to replace his stuff in the drawers.

Pohl and Gretchen spoiler :

Pohl notices the old halfling putting a piece of paper in the Shifter's hand.
The halfling grabs Gretchen hands and places a piece of paper in her hand.

Grechen : Female Shifter Rogue 1

As the young shifter checks her equipment, she looks at her clothes and turns to the halfling. "Is there a place where I might clean myself up a bit. I seem to have gotten a bit dirty from my time in the sewers."

 

[DarkMaster]

The halfling indicates a small doors on the eastern wall. "There is a small lavatory behind this door, please make yourself at home"

Grechen : Female Shifter Rogue 1

The shifter nods at the halfling. "Thank you for your hospitality." She opens the door, goes into the lavatory and closes the door behind her. She looks down at the object in her hand and proceeds to read it.

Feeling exceedingly better than he did ten minutes ago, Pohl stands up straight and stretches his arms above his head.

'That was exactly what I needed! Thank you Master Tellarr. Your skills are as wonderful as they've said.' He reaches down and grabs his purse. 'Now how much do we owe you for your services? They were worth every penny.'

He opens the purse up ready to pay out what he owes... while also maintaining a very slight glance at the lavatory door. He's never really been 100% trustful of the raggedy shifter, and now he's even less so.

 

[DarkMaster]

The shifter enters the small but very luxious bathroom. The entire room is made of pure brown marble. It almost looks like everything was sculpted from one piece. She quickly get the paper out and reads "200 gp if you bring it back, much more if I buy".

The halfling turns towards Pohl and says "That was 4 application of my cream at 25 gp each, but with a 20% discount because you took more than 2 so that will be 80gp" The halfling finish with a friendly smile.

Grechen : Female Shifter Rogue 1

Grechen tucks the message away in her pack and proceeds to clean up a bit. After a bit she opens the door and is back with the others. She nods to the halfling. "Thank you again for your kind hospitality!"

 

[Delemental]

Tai shakes Tellarr's hand warmly. "Thank you for your help, Master Tellarr. May Boldrei smile upon you and your home."

She waits patiently for everyone to get ready. Once they have left the healer's home, she will address the others. "So, do we intend to return to where we left off immediately? Though our wounds are healed, my divine power is still depleted, as are Master Marcela's arcane abilities, I suspect. However, a hasty return might lessen the chance of our opponents bringing in reinforcements."

 

[DEFCON 1]

'That was 4 application of my cream at 25 gp each, but with a 20% discount because you took more than 2 so that will be 80gp.'

'Indeed, good sir. You are more than generous. Here... take these coins with our compliments, as well as a little something extra for seeing to us so quickly. Hopefully we will not have the need to see you again in the coming few days, but if things devolve as they did this morning, you may once again be seeing up begging at your door. But until then, have a wonderful afternoon!'

He hands the halfling 90 gold pieces and as soon as everyone is all set, he goes with the group outside Master Tellarr's abode. He listens with interest as Tai speaks...

'So, do we intend to return to where we left off immediately? Though our wounds are healed, my divine power is still depleted, as are Master Marcela's arcane abilities, I suspect. However, a hasty return might lessen the chance of our opponents bringing in reinforcements.'

He nods at her deductions and quickly formulates a response in his own mind before speaking.

'You speak the truth, my lady. However, I am inclined to believe that this first stumblingblock is but the beginning of a larger difficulty.. one that we cannot hope to overcome without our full strength. Even if they do bring in reinforcements, I'd rather hit each of those walls at full strength and make slow but steady progress, then rush forward and hope to get through this duty quickly. I hope I do not offend you Master Marcella when I say that it appears as though you have spent most of your life studying your arcane craft rather than hefting a weapon... and if your magical energies are depleted for the day then it would do us no good to go back down there with you being unable to contribute to your strengths. Agreed?'

He looks around the group for their reaction.

'I would suggest we all go back to our homes and get a good night's rest. We got up very early this morning to reach the inn by dawn, and I'm sure we could all use a comfortable bed for the night.'

He grins at the three folks in front of him, and when his eyes latch onto Gretchen, he smiles even wider and addresses her and the group once more.

'So all that remains is the note that Master Tellarr passed to you, Gretchen. Would you might sharing with us what was so important that the Master couldn't speak to all of us directly? I saw him hand it to you right before you went to use the restroom. Hmm?'
