Dahlia hands over the three crates and collects their 900 coin! She gives the village cut of 10% to Dwatto and the captain, 90 coin. Then she splits the remaining 810 among the three of them--Dahlia, Myrven, and ... Ingvar seems to have disappeared! That leaves 405 coin for Dahlia and Myrven each!
OOC:
If Ingvar turns back up, it would be 270 per PC.

"Right well what's our plan then D you wanna go look for more magic type stuff? Maybe we outta just corouse for a bit, rub some elbows."
Myrven pockets his coin gleefully, already dreaming of flowing tankards of ale and shiny new armour.
Aug 25, 2025 12:53 pm
You each have about four pounds of silver in your pouches now.
Aug 25, 2025 11:43 pm
If possible, Myrven will seek out a smith to invest in some armour.
Aug 26, 2025 1:24 pm
Well, it's late in the evening now, so unlikely a smith will be open for business. But certainly there are some in a city the size of Twosisters. Shall we go to rest and resume in the morning?
Aug 26, 2025 1:25 pm
If rest, what sort of public house will you seek for your repose?

Dahlia says, "We got the coin; let's go find ourselves an upscale place. Real nice one, where we can be safe and rich at the same time. Which ain't gonna happen at the joints I usually crash at."
Aug 26, 2025 10:22 pm
Myrven nods, "It'd be nice to find a place we don't av t' keep watch fer once."

Asking the wizards gets you the name of a tavern: "Captain's Rest". Asking directions in the still-busy streets gets you there. It's a white stone building, three stories tall and with a fairly large footprint. The story you heard on the street was that it used to be the mansion of a famous merchant, and his heirs converted it to a bed and breakfast. The windows on the lower floor flicker with lamplight.

Entering the foyer, you find a chest-high desk behind which stands a swarthy, slender man with close-cropped hair. He smiles at you charmingly. "Ah, good evening," he says. "It is a pleasure to see you. Do you need a room?"

Dahlia smiles and says, "yeah, gimme a suite. And I need a hot bath. And a massage. And some new clothes. And a full meal from your finest chef. Also, wine. And I only want attractive people to serve it."

She pulls out an ample handful of coin and slaps it on the counter. She whispers to her companions, saying, "I ain't gonna be doing the high roller thing after this, but... I gotta. I gotta experience what rich folk live like, at least once."
Aug 28, 2025 5:35 pm
The smile gets bigger. "But of course, ma'mselle." Turning to the side, he calls out, "Mon cherie Denise, the Captain's Suite is open, oui? Prepare it!" Returning his attention to you, he adds, "Here, follow me to the dining lounge. I will instruct the chef. We are always glad to have guests of your quality and hope you will remark of us well in the future."

You rest on comfortable couches at a simple yet elegant, highly-polished wooden table with monochrome paisley engravings under the varnish. For each of you, a fairly attractive waiter brings a series of dishes, hot and cold, each as delicious as the last. The chef has done well. As you lean back, satiated, the slender dark man appears again. "M'lord, m'lady: your suite is prepared. Please, follow me."

As you ascend the spiral staircase at the center of the mansion, the majordomo adds, "Would you like a fresh set of clothing? Our tailor can be sobered."

OOC:
I think we would get seperate rooms considering we've slummed it for so long.
"Sounds proper guv. I'd love a suit like those flash waiters wot served us. Tomorrow D' we outta set out for supplies if we are tracking that ring".

Dahlia nods and smiles, saying, "Yeah get the tailor. I’ll also be wanting a recommendation to the finest armorer and blacksmith in town for shopping tomorrow. And… I’m looking to acquire knowledge of magical spells and the like … Is there anyone in town who could train me, or sell knowledge?"
Aug 29, 2025 11:20 am
OOC:
You missed a beat with the eastern wizards — if you'd asked them for spells, who knows what you might have gotten
The majordomo eagerly agrees to get the tailor going early in the morning, and offers the name of a very well-reputed armorer. He looks sad when you ask about spells: "No, I don't know anything about wizards. They don't frequent this house."
Aug 29, 2025 5:25 pm
OOC:
Dude! I would have appreciated that tip a bit earlier... Can I ret con? The "rumors" they provided were not good. Heck one was about the lynx we already KNEW! I feel like we got ripped off a bit.
Aug 29, 2025 8:42 pm
OOC:
Who knows, maybe you'll run into them again if you ask around …
Aug 29, 2025 8:47 pm
Dahlia sighs and facepalms, "GODSDAMMIT! Why didn't I ask those wizards for spells? Ugh I am an idiot..."

She shakes it off and goes on to enjoy the finer things that money can buy. Next time she ventures out, she'll be sure to look up those wizards again, see if they wanna sell some magic to get back some of their coin.

Myrven will simply head to his room to rest and await the tailors the following morning.
Aug 30, 2025 2:54 pm
The tailor shows up at a reasonable time of morning, red-eyed but sober. He measures, presents fabric swatches, discusses, condescends, departs.

The armorer has a fine selection of quality weapons and armor.

How much do you each want to spend on what?

Dahlia descends the next morning, better rested than she has ever been in her life. She took a multi-hour hot bath, received a massage, was anointed with perfume and oil, had her hair cleaned and cut, her callouses scrubbed, and the whole spa experience. She makes sure that the tailor fits her just right for a durable yet light and comfortable kimono to replace the old raggedy one she wears currently, then she visits the armorer and buys one armor piece (20 silver), a shield (10 s), a spear (20 s), a bow (I assume 20 s, but no prices for ranged weapons in the Dungeon Goons pdf!), And a set of adventuring gear (2 s each, totaling 8 s), including a Backpack, a rope, an iron spike, and flint & steel. She also picks up a set of lock picks (5 s).

All told, she spends 83 silver on weapons, armor, and gear, plus the price for the room and board, and spa treatment.
OOC:
Plus 5 sp for the tailored kimono!
