Sean nods, "I'll ask them as they get better."
Sean will check in with Nancy in the morning. "I hope you are settling in.
Just wanted to see how everyone is doing, but I don't want to be too much for
the others, so, for the time being anyway, if you are amenable, I'd like to
check in with you to ask how the others are doing. I suspect Ernst is in the
worst physical shape, but poor Lori is in the worst shape of all. High Priest
Kendrick might be able to help. I will take her to Aarell, along with any who
wish to go. But let's give her a week or two to see how freedom and kindness
works." Sean pauses, like he's grasping for words. "I know you've lost a lot.
I don't know what you have left back where you came from. I think your
strength was essential to getting you and your fellows through what you
endured. I think you would do well here, if you want a fresh start. Of
course, I think you will thrive where ever you go, and I will gladly escort you
back north if that is what you wish."
Sean will also, of course, check in to see how Ahearn is doing. He'll bring a
skin of wine, and three cups (sorry, no fancy glasses), pour three cups, offer
one to Ahearn, look him seriously in the eye, and raise one of the two cups in
his hands. "To Joseph" he says, drinking one cup, and pouring the other on the
floor.

Hurrumph, Sean you words are wise wisdom to me, you are part of this mess
chuck e so yes, what you suggest of those willing to stay on is acceptable.
To another question "Hurrumph, yes, the land we can hold is ours within the
reach of what I was granted so if you wish to settle a place within the lands I
was granted so be it. We are brothers. Plus Dugals cove is ours. I am just the
poor soul sitting on the higher chair that makes me be the one to deflect all
the official crap from lords and ladies and so forth so you all can adventure
in peace hurrumph har har.
About the now Joseph named cave "Manrung and the rest of the Gnomes may find
this a good place to settle once things get settled and bring in more Gnome and
Dwarven friends to make this a nice spot. Always have to think in the future
what can be done.
now to secure what we have and finish this job at Josephs cave

Oh, and if or when Sean heads to Aarell, he cannot hire anyone yet (unless we
leveled up...), so if anyone thinks they are going to want more
henchmen/hirelings, they'll have to come along, or send someone along who can
hire people.

Sean asks Pomeroy if he has any burn relief salves. He also asks him to say
a prayer for Joseph. "I don't rightly know if he held a particular god over
any other, but he was a good man, and I'd like Farab to look out for him."
Sean will also ask Elmore to say a word on Joseph's behalf to Artor. Sean is
confident Ahearn will put in a good word with his Mother. Sean assumes there
is nothing that can be done for Joseph.
Realizing he has been speaking out of turn, for he has no authority in Hagar's
hold, Sean will at some point seek Hagar's permission to ask if any of the
former captives would like to stay, thinking in particular that Ernst would
make a useful addition to Hagar's household. "A laird needs a clark, my
Prince. With luck, you will establish contracts with shippers, embassies with
neighbors, even if one such neighbor turns out to be Lord Goathumper, and you
will want your laws written down, and your accounts kept well." For that
matter everyone has skills which would be useful in the Cove.
When he is recovered, and when Sarah is recovered, and Lori as physically
healthy as possible, Sean will escort them to Aarell, if that is what they
wish. Sean will like to bring treasure back to Aarell for the Hospital, and if
Hilda's ring looks nice, and if it wouldn't be too weird (he's just a young
man) he would like advice on whether a silver ring with an emerald is
appropriate as a troth ring for Tina (assuming it doesn't end up being
something magical). And if Holly's cousin isn't skinned by Ahearn, and is
willing to take orders and behave, Sean will escort her home as well. Frankly,
he's not impressed at first blush. When the opportunity presents itself,
unless someone else brings it up first, Sean will let Grisehild know that he
was forced to kill two of her men.

The party will learn Theo was originally a gardener, Crandel, has some minor
skills as a leatherworker, Eggbert was a tanner before taking to the sea, and
Ernst has some minor skills as a clerk. He can write a good hand and cipher.
Sarah, Lori, and Nancy were all taken from their farmstead, which the ogres
levelled. They are all farm wives. Lori is being cared for mostly by Sarah,
while Nancy is herding the whole group along. If Holly is paying attention, she
will figure out her cousin is now awake, but faking being out of it to avoid a
certain 1/2 elf. Manrug will be able to greet whoever makes it back along with
Pomeroy, who is ready for those in need. He will do a bit of triage and
determine that Ernst has a bit of an infection, so a cure disease will be
necessary. He will ask any of the casters if they can wipe memories. That might
be the best solution for Lori. She is a bit messed up. He thinks she might need
Kendrick to fix her issues. I will assume the gems and jewelry made it back
with this trip. Actions?
