I nod, satisfied at the haul. I'll take the funds from selling the gems and ordinary gear, and keep the axe for now until I can talk to the others.
Until I can get in touch with the others, I will find Lord Douglas again and ask him what is most needed for the care of those children. He seems to have things well in hand, but it seems likely that there are shortages somewhere.
Out of Character: okay, that puts us up to 3,443.67 gp, with another 1,155 gp in the offing if we sell the magic axe as well. I do suggest we do that. I think only Dennis can use the thing, and even if he wants a goblin's weapon it is sized for a small creature so it is pretty much just a hand axe that is not designed to be thrown.
Out of Character: I agree, we don't need that axe. Den won't use it.
Eventually I meet Jason and I ask, "Have you seen the others? What have you been up to? I want you to know, I'm building myself a place about an hour and a half from here. I'm too… confined living in the keep. I think it's this world affecting me."
I heft the sack of gold and the small axe, "I've been selling off the less important things liberated from those caves, turned out to be quite a haul. You want this thing? Turns out it has a minor enchantment on it, we can sell that too for a bit over a grand if you don't care for it."
"As to the new place, I think I understand. Let me know when you need help. Extra hands and eyes will be good to have, especially for the foundation."
I smile at Jason and say thanks, "I'm going to build a wigwam I think. That would be the closest Native American structure built in this type of forested terrain. I could use a hand because it'll be a largeish one, in case my friends come to visit. As for the axe, get the cash. What do you think about that mithral breastplate? And how about the amulet for Ghost… and maybe Rachel. Those should come first.
"It will take a while, but I think we can get the breastplates done, possibly a few amulets as well. There's quite a bit to do though, we need to talk about it as a group."
Out of Character: Check the bottom of page 37 of the discussion thread for my breakdown on what we can do.
