The Retaking of Forgehold - 4E

[Shalimar]

Mira blinks at Mal when she sees him go for the dragon with such gusto. It really was quite...uh nausea inducing was the word, especially when he picked te head up and held it against his chest like it was a second head growing out of him.

"Alright, lets get out of here before the places comes crashing down on us or metling down on us, or whatever." Mira says, leading the group back the way that they had come now that they had their prizes. It would take longer to make it back to town carrying all of the stuff, but she hoed they could still make it by dark, it would be nice to stay at an inn and get a good bath to wash the icky blood off.

 

[Atanatotatos]

Uhmm... Yes, I would say we'd better be on our way. It is time we get what we deserve for our deeds. And I am eager to know if there is a fellow student of arcane arts in Fallcrest worthy of exchanging discoveries with... comments Arden.

[sblock=OOC] guys, sorry for the absence. I'm back to stay [/sblock]

 

[Charwoman Gene]

You travel back to Fallcrest as the light of day fades, arriving at the gates of the town just as the sun hits the horizon. The guards stare at you as you approach with the dragon's bloody head, but open the gates for you.

Do you could return to the Lord Warder to collect a bounty?

Do you visit Teldor the Armorsmith to give him his hide?

Do you retire to the inn?

Do you have your own agenda?

 

[Shalimar]

Mira led the march back into town alongside her brother with the Dragon's head carried before him. Once the group made it back into town it was pretty clear to her at least that they needed to split up to handle the chores before it got too dark. "Lets go collect the bounty on the Kobolds. With the reward we can have baths to wash all the grime of the road and caves away, and then nice vicorty feast."

"While we do that, maybe Angel can take the Dragon skin back to the black smith? Get two things done at once? That can wait til morning, but we are not keeping the tails and everything around to stink up our rooms." the girl says.

 

[SarahRequiem]

"sure thing, I'll do that" Angel says, wearing her hooded cloak up and looking around, looking slightly paranoid as always.

"I'll meet you guys at the Inn"

 

[Mal Malenkirk]

The others see that Mal is holding his dragon head in front of the city guard and is chatting amiably with them. The youngest guard seems as if he is about to get sick at the sight of the trophy.

-''...so I call him Frosty. He likes to eat wild berries and adventurers. His purpose in life is to redistribute wealth by taking it from weaker warriors and surrendering it to stronger ones. His pet peeves include kobolds who chants their prayers too loudly and getting killed. He is...''

Mira intterupts his train of thought when she urges the team to complete the job.

-"Lets go collect the bounty on the Kobolds. With the reward we can have baths to wash all the grime of the road and caves away, and then nice vicorty feast." Mira says.

-''Oh, yeah. So long guys!'' Mal says, saluting the guard. ''Gotta go collect that bounty. Beside, Frosty is getting heavy.''

The warrior then proceeds to follow his sister but stops a few time to proudly display the severed head every time someone asks about Frosty.

 

[Atanatotatos]

I shall gladly accompany you, lady Wolfe says Arden to Angel.

 

[Velmont]

"Stop to brag about that and come on." tells Wolfheart as he pass behind Mal talking about the dragon head, but he doesn't seem to hear him. As his sister call him, he leaves teh guard and join the group.

"Oh, yeah, I should have included the word reward in my sentence." he murmurs to himself.

Teslayn mentions another errand and goes off alone.

Angel and Arden:

"A Dragon, you say? wonderful of you to get this back for me, I'm behind schedule as it is." Teldor exclaims. "Now about that payment... Here is your gold, and the merchants of the town will likely be a wee bit easier on you when you haggle."

Mal, Mira, and Velmont:

"The tribe is wiped out? Wonderful, you deserve this reward! 25 kobolds, 8 gold for each, plus the leader's helmet... 210 gold"
The Lord Warden is very impressed with you skill at slaying the dragon. "I'm afraid the only extra reward I can offer you are these potions, and I think we can take care of your lodgings."

You all meet up in front of the inn... Teslayn looks... uncomfortable.
"I am troubled. I worry how much my activities of late have involved the slaying of creatures not that far from myself. I need to walk alone for now. Feel free to share my parts of the rewards, they feel wrong somehow. Perhaps our paths will cross again." He departs.

[sblock=XP and Characters]Dwarf: 200 gp, and a 10% discount on all equipment purchases this visit to Fallcrest.
Lord Warden: 250 gp, 5 potions of healing, and free food, drink and room at the inn.
You are all level 2 now. I will post some details about character management in the OOC thread[/sblock]

Mal, Mira, and Aelek

Mira smiled happily at the lord warden, quite pleased with the bonus he had given the group. A pouchful of healing potions would be worth more than their weight in gold, and then to have their stay in the inn paid for as well, it was fantastic. 450 gold pieces were more than she'd ever seen, and even though she was unhappy that Teslayn was leaving her share of it was a whole 90 gold pieces, and even that was more than she'd ever had at once.

The girl gave the big armored dragonborn a hug before he left and wished him well. "We'll miss you." she calls to his departing form before turning back to the group. "Its time for us to go have baths, and we can have them prepare us a feast while we bathe." the young girl said happily.

Entering the inn she approaches the innkeeper. "My friends and I just got back from dealing with all of those kobolds that have been raiding Caravans, and the dragon that was leading them. We'd like baths to clean the dirt and grime off and a feast for when we finish. We'll be staying on until the next caravan is ready to head on, the Lord Warden said he'd take care of the bill as our reward...is that all ok?"
