Hard mode Pathfinder

[Nathan-the-Anon]

Airmid will continue back downstairs to Zetaya and Hyen, "Well.... they left. Gave away their room and disappeared."
With a pout she'll go to order some breakfast, then slump down into a seat next to Hyen and rest her head on the table.
"Sometimes I wish people would just let me keep them safe, b-but I guess I understand.
It's not like I have time to keep EVERYBODY safe... So at least there's that! I can focus on you guys for a long time now!"

[Aramtyth]

(Clarity would like a sense motive against this woman)
"I see. One last thing. Did she have anyone with her? She had an escort."

[Shongesabbe]

"No I didn't see anyone. Are there any other questions you have?"

[Aramtyth]

"Yes just one more and then I'll be out of your hair. About what time was it when she gifted you the room?"

After hearing the answer, Clarity will offer a slight bow and return to her companions.

[Shongesabbe]

"She found us around 4am or so."

[Aramtyth]

After sitting back down at the table and filling in the party with the information she received, Clarity will then return to her map making charts.
"So, who wants to go shopping? We still need a destination in mind for afterwards, but have much to do before then."

[Nathan-the-Anon]

"We could offer my resurrection abilities in exchange for some gear, I think the fair compensation would be around 5000gp worth. This way we may be able to outfit our group and help others. If we have anyone that accepts then we can also advertise my abilities to those in need and those that can compensate so it's a win win for me."

[Aramtyth]

"If you feel you have the strength to do so, Air, then I will assist you in any way I can. It would be nice to get paid for not killing for a change."
Clarity says, reaching over and patting the healer girl on the head.
"Then we can gather supplies of a higher quality. Which might allow us to take on things like giants and dragons with little casualties."

[Nathan-the-Anon]

"Well, as long as I'm alive there will never be any casualties! I've been granted this gift from Dalenydra to share with the world, and I choose to make sure you all are here with me."

[Heroofnowhere]

Looking at the girls Hyensum says
"I have a idea where to get gear but i can't take all of you so if you want give me the list of what you want and the money for it and I can get it. Also Airmid there will always be casualties not even the gods an stop that. But before that we need to talk about the reward and the fine some people hit us with."

[Nathan-the-Anon]

"No, we don't need to really discuss it. You all did the most work, and I caused us strain. Consider my payment forfeit as I also don't require much. All I ask is that I get enough for food!"
Airmid smiles but obviously with disappointment, "But I won't let casualties go without a fight. I believe that if I can help someone, then I must. That being said, I will protect myself as much as I protect you all. A needless sacrifice hurts more in the long run."

[Aramtyth]

Clarity pauses and looks at her worrisome friend.
"Airmid you aren't losing your share of the treasure. That is final. I admit your actions brought on trouble, but you should not be punished for actions that try to repair and heal. My only request is that we find other solutions in the future that don't go against the guild if possible. I may not like their methods but they are at least willing to change things peacefully it seems. We can change things for the better by removing cause of harm from certain sources. At least in theory."
She'll grab Airmids hand and give it a squeeze before releasing.
"We can make a difference here we just need to be tactful about it, I think. No need to be so dramatic all the time."

[Nathan-the-Anon]

Airmid pulls her hand away and holds it herself, "No. It's my fault, and I'm not being dramatic. I have no use for anything like new weapons or armor. So do me a favor and use my part on yourselves, that'll at least make combat quicker with less chance of anyone getting hurt and making everything easier on me as well."

[Ria_Whitefire]

Staying silent through most of the conversation Zetaya gently clears her throat. "If you wanted to really know," she starts, staring at her hands with a frown. "No, I wasn't wishing for us to go face the dragon if everyone didn't want to. I don't know how strong you all feel you are so I gathered as many quests as there were to TALK about them and choose from there. As for the giant quest Hyensum no it doesn't state what type of giant we would be facing." Seeing her hair start to simmer Zetaya takes a calming breath and grins to her companions. "I agree with all of you, the goblins and amulet quests seem doable." She looks to the piles and then to Airmid. "I thinks it's great that you want to revive as many dead as you can Airmid. That's a perfect way to spread as much good as you can while getting something out of it. As for shopping, there is an item I would like to look for..." Pausing, looking at the piles of gems again. "Given I have enough money from the reward to buy it. However, it is an object I wish to buy for myself. I would also like to purchase a new outfit. As for a new weapon? I'm fine at the moment, might get them enchanted later. I'm not sure." With that she'll reach for the smallest of the five piles.

[Heroofnowhere]

Hyensum will put a hand in front of Zetaya's and say
"Not yet we still need to work out how everything will be divide up, and we need to brake down some of the gems to split evenly. And like I said I can take at most one of you to the shops I know of except Airmid. Not a good idea to take her. So how are we going to deal with the loss of a portion of the reward. Are we going to split it evenly take it out of the ones responsible or what? I personal vote taken out of the share of those responsible but that's just my vote.

[Nathan-the-Anon]

"I'll be honest, there are a couple items I wish to utilize.... Vestments of War, contrary to their name I shall not be using them for war. Instead I've heard of their ability to increase the number of times I may use my Lay on Hands ability per day, however; the most important item... Bracers of the Merciful Knight. It increases my uses per day and increases the healing power of my Lay on Hands."
After saying this her head sinks into a sulk, "They are also frightfully expensive, most places I ever saw them fellow paladins had spent a fortune on them on average 12 to 14 thousands per item. So I know that they are not for me to have at this moment, but later. If we make a bit of profit off reviving the unfortunate, then perhaps. I'll have such a coveted item among my peers."

[Ria_Whitefire]

Zetaya will draw back her hand and cross her arms. "I think the fine is completely unfair," she'll huff looking to Airmid and Clarity. "The way I see it we brought them there dead. They never stated that the enemy of the quest had to STAY DEAD. Besides circumstances and feelings had changed along the way. Also, from what I have heard to the events happening during the ambush Clarity was in every right to defend herself. She didn't know that the group wasn't going to kill you all and Airmid had fallen from grace at that point." She looks at Airmid with a kind expression. "You do tend to be a bit hard on yourself. However, if you still see fit to take lesser earnings then I won't stop you." She looks Hyensum directly in the eye. "The item I am looking for is personal and I would rather not deal with questions about. I will go with you if you insist. If this is going to take a while I am getting another cup of tea." Zetaya will rise from her seat, walk over to the counter, order another tea, and pay.

[Aramtyth]

"She should go with you to break up the gems so we can get equal shares and she can get her item. I will go with Airmid and see about gaining some license for her to sell her resurrection services. Knowing how the rest of this place works there might be a circle of divine that requires a percentage of earned gold within city limits for offering grand healing and resurrection. How long do you think it will take you to get the items and money and return, Hyen?"
Clarity asks looking up from her map briefly to meet his gaze before returning to her drawing.

[Heroofnowhere]

"I am not sure how long it will take to do the shopping, just give me a list of what you would like and I will do my best to get it." with that Hyensum will stand up put one of the piles into his pouch and then grab the small one up in a hand and then wait for the rest of the party.

[Nathan-the-Anon]

Airmid sighs, "They would, wouldn't they? A license and a tax upon the person providing a service. Might as well be a merchant by name I guess...."
Gesturing for Clarity to lead the way, Airmid will follow behind her.
"Thank you for considering such beurocratic things..."

[Shongesabbe]

Spoiler: Hyensum

Show

You leave the inn and head off looking for the signs. You spot a general peddler that has the correct signs in the window. You go in and see what looks like a normal business.

[Heroofnowhere]

Looking back at Zetaya "let me do all of the talking if you need something tell me and I will relay it to them for you don't make a scene and stay close to me." After that he will walk up to the counter and say to the peddler
"syetonta my friend and to are looking sy shop ly the koret market lit ker items." Hyensum will then trace and emblem the counter.

[Shongesabbe]

"Uncle Seith can take care of small stuff for you. The local markets all thumbs or uncle Seith can get you to a better market for some expense."

[Ria_Whitefire]

Zetaya will release an irritated sigh and pouch one of the gem piles. She follows in irritated silence to the shop. "Fine, I guess going with you will require me telling you anyway. I'm looking for a hat of disguise... greater if we can find one for cheap, which is not likely." She'll hiss in a whisper that is barely audible. She'll follow Hyensum, again in irritated silence.

[Heroofnowhere]

"It might be faster to get Uncle Seith to get the bagged flesh we want. About how long for a rug shipment and how much yellow tin for the aid?" Hyensum will say looking over the mundane goods.

[Shongesabbe]

"How about we continue this in the back." He motions you to follow him through a door. He tells the halfling in the room to mind the shop. Going over to a dresser he opens it up then opens a door in the back and walks through going down into a hidden basement with a variety of different goods.

[Ria_Whitefire]

Zetaya follows behind the store keeper and Hyensum, her arms crossed, and staying alert.

[Nathan-the-Anon]

Airmid waves farewell to her two comrades as they leave.
"Hopefully getting this whole matter settled will be quick and easy, maybe if they know that we're doing it for free they don't force a license?
Any payment we get will be used for the resurrections anyway, except for a couple where I can negate their cost and with those we may not get the materials anyways.
As it would be for a charitable purpose, unless unneeded at the time... I just don't like the idea of someone doing absolutely nothing profiting off our good deeds..."

[Aramtyth]

"I understand your feelings, but it avoids unhealthy encounters with those who rely on the payment to keep their churches up and running. Healing comes in many forms but not every being feels it should be given as freely as you and if they lose clients because of underselling it could lead to more needless violence. The best protection in this setting is to keep those in power in your favor. Plus they might direct more people to you if they know what you are trying to do."
Clarity pats Airmid on the shoulder as they walk where they need to be.
"The hard part is going to be when you are adventurering and won't be here."

[Nathan-the-Anon]

"Well, that is unfortunate for them. However; I'll come back eventually! Maybe.
Shall we set off then?"
She begins going towards the Guild's head offices.
