Sir Jonathan
Sir Jonathan puts on the gauntlets and then moves around a bit, slashing out with his blade at imaginary foes. He then laughs at himself, "Nothing you need to be concerned about Jorr." Satisfied, he puts them with the rest of the treasure they acquired, grabs a handful of platinum and begins to climb the ladder to speak to Jorr.
So is the frostbrand a greatsword(per the SRD) or a bastard sword(per your description)? A weapon like this is definately worth keeping. Although who should keep it is up for question. I would like it, but I've claimed the shield. Kirrg would also do well with it, but would have to spend a feat(seems not worth it). Duroin also could use it, but uses two weapon fighting...he could use it with spiked armor however (it is generally better for a two weapon fighter to use a two handed weapon and armor spikes over two light or one light and one one-handed weapon), this becomes more useful with power attack too(should that be chosen with a feat). The optimizer in me is thinking that the "best" choice would be for Duroin to take it, take power attack as a feat and decide round to round whether it would be better to PA and gain a greater bonus to damage or TWF and gain the benefit of an extra attack if we can get spiked armor.(this relies all on spiked armor though)....The gauntlet I am unsure of what it could be.

It is exactly as I described it. A bastard sword with twinking motes that blazes light when grasped. Please be careful of the metagaming and optimizing. I definitely understand the want to make good choices. Making a choice on something your character would know nothing about in the DMG is not a good decision.

OOC: Are we able to fit all of the coins in the bag of holding? If so, does there appear to be more room?
"Guys, this was quite a haul. But unfortunately, with the discovery of Koth's map, it looks like our journey is just beginning, instead of ending. These people need to be warned about the imminent destruction of their town, and possibly the rest of the Vale!" Virashil says as she looks over all of the trinkets.
"We should head back to Drellin's Ferry to let them know, plus, sell off some of the unwanted gear."
"You know," She says, kicking back slightly against the wall of the alcove,"We may want to look into getting horses... We probably have a lot of travel ahead of us."
"Look at the names, well, what I think are names, on this map -- Koth, Ozyrrendion, Ghostlord, Kharn, Saarvith, Turgarun....think they are all 'Wyrmlords'?"

"We will only get stronger with experience. Let us take these things back to Drellin's Ferry. But we should hurry before night falls. I need a nice bed tonight. As for horses? It's a thought." Kirrg looks for a scabbard for the beautiful, glowing sword in his hand. He smiles at it before looking at his old, notched greataxe.

Sir Jonathan nods at Virashil. "I believe that is the correct choice as well. We will need horses as well I think. The distance is long and our time is short. We should be going immediately." After stuffing all the treasure into the neverending bag, Jonathan climbs the ladder out off the hidden room.
Once on the surface once more, Sir Jonathan finds Jorr. He smiles as he greets the grizzled woodsman, "Found yourself some fun?" he says nodding to the worg pelts. More seriously he begins, "There is trouble brewing in this neck of the woods Jorr. An army of hobgoblins approaches from the north over a bridge. We need to return to Drellin's Ferry and warn them of the impending threat. From there we try and stop the marauder's by collapsing the bridge. Do you know of the bridge? Is that possible?"
Updated chrsht with bag of holding and all the items it contains(double check I have everything, we need in it.)

Duroin finishes loading up his portion of the gear, nodding at Virishal's words. "They could all possibly be Wyrmlords...perhaps that is some type of title among the followers of Tiamat. As I stated earlier, it looks as this 'Ozyrrendion' holds the bridge at Skull Gorge. A night of good rest will be needed if we are to test his mettle and take the bridge."

As Sir Jonathan helps Kirrg put on his armor he says to the group, "Rest is needed and well-deserved. We struck a mighty blow to their forces today. Hopefully with our help, the army will fall apart before they can do much damage. If these hobgoblins are in league with Tiamat, then we best be prepared for dragons, does everybody think they can handle a dragon?"

Kirrg stands tall in his armor, buckler attached to the wrist of his left arm, his right gripping the bastard sword, which emits a warm glow. He smiles, hooking his upper lip behind his lower fangs, "How do I look?" He mockingly parries and thrusts, like a child with a stick.
