Jherek follows behind the group, deciding to follow Drethen if the party splits up during their market trip. He keeps a wary eye out for any trouble as the cover the ins and outs of the market. The elf pays attention to the weapon stalls and armorers that are visited, and anyone who deals in magical curios. His purse maybe empty today, but the next time this group comes trough town he would be laden with treasure… Gods willing.
Drethen: Give me a list of what it is you are looking to sell and what you are looking to purchase. I'll let you know what you can get for your items and what is available, based on what you are looking for.
Ardo: You are able to find a book about the history of the area for 100gp. In the book you find a reference to Martek. It refers to Martek as: Martek, Grand Vizier of Raurin, called "The Greatest of Mages:' And it mentions that about one thousand years ago, Martek imprisoned an evil efreet of great power somewhere in the desert.
Gabriel seek to find upgrades repairs first current non-magical equipment, particularly better armor if he can find it. Perhaps also other protective gear and a few potions, if it can be afforded and found among the stops.
He will also want to try to find a nearby temple, to see guidance and advice. Finally, maybe have Fuascailt looked over by whoever might be the most knowledgeable in magic items. Especially intelligent magic items such as the morningstar.
Drethen is looing for a clock that will offer him protection, a ring that will offer more protection besides his +1, A girdle of giant strength if available or anything else that can offer him more protection to his saves or AC.
He is planning on selling any of the stuff they found in the manor that they no longer have use for and give the others their share of the sale.
Once purchasing an assortment of provisions Ardo tries to meet up with the rest of the group. "Gentleman seeing as Aman gave us some camels for the trip I have purchased an additional 2 plus some guard dogs to protect them at night. What do you think of hiring two or three henchmen to watch the mounts and such as we venture into places to search so they don't wander off. They would strictly be just for keeping our mounts and supplies safe. Does that seem life a good idea?"
Gabriel searches the stalls and shops and finds every form of common item (Whatever is in the PHB) that he could want. He also finds a magic shop with a proprietor who seems to be knowledgeable in the arcane. He's able to confirm that Fuascailt is indeed a magical morning star. Is there anything else that you'd like to know?
Drethen is successful in selling the items from the Castle and is able to distribute the funds. As far as finding a protective item, he's able to find a merchant who's selling a Cloak of Protection +2 for 5,000 gp. He reminds Drethen that even though the protection will apply to his saving throws, it will not apply to his armor class due to the fact that he already had magical plate armor.
Hafer also wanders the shops using the funds provided by Aman to purchase supplies, which he stores on his camel (Also provided by Aman) for the journey.
Ardo slides up beside Jherek. “Not sure how to approach this Jherik so I am just going to come straight out with it. I have excess funds right now. I expect when we are in these tombs we are going to save each other’s lives multiple times. It would be a shame if someone died due to not having the equipment they need so here is a 1000 gold pieces to provision yourself with what ever you think you need. You do not have to pay this back at all, I sort of look at this as an investment in myself staying alive if you have everything you think you need while we are exploring together.”.
