[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7858035, member: 7015827"] [SIZE=6][B]Rewards and Disappointments[/B][/SIZE] After six hours of travel, they arrived at Westgate, somewhat chilled from the cold day. First stop once inside the city walls was the Mercenaries Guild, where they reported their successful completion of the pirates contract to the clerk, whose name they discovered was Tara. While Tara went upstairs to pass along the news to Varen Malavhan, the group eyeballed the contract list in the papers on her desk, noting that the only ones not crossed off were regarding the pirates and obtaining magical beasts, which they already were aware of. Tara returned and asked them to go up to Varen's office. Varen was pleased to hear Aerikoth and Rahnee recount their success in ending the threat from the pirate band, and he paid Rahnee the reward money. Varen also asked them to list what they had found in the hands of the pirates, including the ship. Varen indicated that they would be able to claim the ship if they wanted, advising them to seek out the harbor master at the Watch Docks building in Westlight Harbor to discuss registration and berthing. Varen showed polite interest at Brok-Tul's invitation to come visit the new shrine to Helm that they were planning to build in the Temple District, wishing the group well and promising to keep an eye out for suitable guild contracts.
