Hunter ponders the avalanche of events that transpired in the last 24 hours. He asks himself, "Why didn't we explore more of that cave before leaving for the Bugbears, oh yeah life and limb needs rescuing.... " He looks at his companions and says, "So how will we divide this, I need a hand weapon?"
Ardo thanks the Bug Bear for the healing then turns to the group and says. “All life that is helping is valuable to me. Also I was walking wounded and with no healing spells left going forward I feared for this group’s safety after that fight. What I see here is we have 3 options, we can book it back to town waste an afternoon resupplying and maybe getting these identified and see if they are cursed then figure out how to divide them in town. “ Taking a small break Ardo looks to see if anyone expresses immediate interest in that plan. After a few seconds he starts speaking again.
“Option 2 is we do nothing with them but head back to the back entrance of that cave and enter that and hope to clear them out with another incursion into that cave now. Option 3 We buck luck and divide the magic items now and it is up to the owner if they think them cursed or not and to use. Once back to town we find out the values of those items and everything is made equal with money and gems to the people who had received less value in magic items.”
Ardo takes a deep breath and then begins on how to divide the magic item. “Now with how to divide the items up there is really 2 ways by need or by luck. I am all for dividing by need. Seeing the wounds that sword made I want a frontline fighter carrying it rather than someone behind the line. Nothing against you Delgar but I do not see the need for a spell caster to have that weapon. Now for the Armor, we would not want a thief or tracker to have it because it would stop them from being stealthy when they need to be. I am talking to long though now I require the thoughts of you Drethen, Hunter and Jonathon, what is our next move.”
Out of Character : Can we also get our experience for those encounters as I will be close to 3rd level and the extra hit points will be well served .

I think we head back to town to find out what we have and then decide how to split it up. We tell the bug bears we will back the next day to once again go into the evil clerics cave with them to help them out. The more we have to help us out equipment wise the better we will do.
"I am sure the 100 platinum and gemstones will cover the cost. If not I still have funds with the church to help cover. Are you for heading back to town Hunter?"
In Character: "Alright then… let's head back to town, and let's not forget that I need a good melee weapon so some coin in my pocket will be good when you start to share up."
"Actually, if it is alright with each of you," Jonathon would say having stayed silent up to this point, "I may need to ask that you find another to finished this adventure with you once we reach the keep… As I cannot continue."
It would seem perhaps the storyteller had spend some time thinking on this, as nd had made up his mind, "You can do with as you wish with my share, whatever seems appropriate."
Offering a nod to each, and eyes not meeting theirs, "My apologies."
Ardo looks at Jonathon "Well I wish you well in the future. Too bad this life was not for you." Ardo looking at his 2 other companions. "I guess it is off to the keep and go over the spoils and divide them up and then come back here."
