Manrug has had no news from Stoddard lately. He is hoping some folks will
be coming soon, but gnomish soon can be a while. Not elvish soon, but
definitely not human soon either.

"No, sister Holly, I think you should find out from Mawby what is going on
BEFORE we decide what to do with her. She stole from Ahearn, and led her
group into disaster. She was a captive, so I guess she isn't really to
blame, but as a result of her carelessness, I ended up killing two men that
might not otherwise have needed killing. But, if you are going to fly up
there, maybe Carandolana can fly with you. Strength in numbers. And maybe
you can arrange for a supply shipment? A ship coming to the Cove would be
a much quicker way to get things from Aarell, and people to Aarell."
Sean stops. "I know, I talk too much. Maybe you can set out tomorrow,
and the OG can decide what we want to do for the next days before you
leave."
And. since I am waiting for a zoom meeting to begin, (I hate zoom
meetings) Sean will speak with Manrug. "Hagar suggested the possibility of
you taking the caves we just conquered as a possible home for more of your
people. I do not know if that is something you are considering, but I
think it would be great if you did. Assuming there are more of your folk
looking for a place to thrive. Of course, it currently reeks of ogre and
troll and wet wolf. But I think there may be steam vents in there for
heat, and it has an impressive mound atop it, and I hope ample room to
tunnel beneath. Something to consider for the future, I hope."

we determine what we are doing with Grisehild?

Sean suggests to Holly that she talk to Grisehild and let her know that
Mawby wanted us to keep eye out for her, and he'll be pleased to know she
is alive. Then Holly should debrief her as gently as possible, in ways
only Holly can. Unless Holly plans on shuttling back and forth from the
Cave to the Cove with Bags of treasure, in which case Sean will ask Holly,
Carandolana and Ahearn if they (all of whom work with Mawby on occasion)
think it a good idea to tell Grisehild that we are in league with Mawby

Sean is definitely stretching to find words.

Two hour trek back, Sean would still like to get the former captives

So he is at the mercy of Speaker Greenmantle as far as that goes. Not all
have to return. But he would like to return with the captives. And Ahearn
might be well served coming back. And if that were the case, we might want
to take Joseph back as well. It is always possible Pomeroy can do
something, but Sean doubts it. Still, he won't count out or discount the
power of Farab, and his most esteemed servant, Pomeroy.

Ok, In doing way too many calculations and readings on the Item spell and
the size of coins. Coins are generally the size of quarters. If the troops
take the time, the copper coins can be dealt with with a single item spell.
Are you planning to stay overnight or go back now? I have heard both
thoughts. I have not heard of anyone scanning for magic either. However, I
have learned about buying donkeys and mules for my mining operations.
Actions?

OOC How far is this cave from water we could actually use to boat loot
to the cove? If it is only 2 hours march back to the cove, we might a a one
way trip and a couple round trips via mule with portions of the loot before
Xander's spells expire.

Yes, or Holly could make the run. If all traps are dealt with it might
be better for Eregwen Air to play courier, because Carandolana's spell

Xander examines his books and summarizes what he'll be able to do to
help carry people, corpses, and things:
"I can create four Floating Discs that can carry 700 pounds each for a
little over two hours. Hmm... or create 4 draft horses without gear or 4
mules with saddles and bags for nine hours.
I can manage three Strength spells that will increase carrying
capacity for three people for seven hours.
Finally, I can Itemize two piles of non-living things up to 14 cubic
feet for 28 hours.
My fourth order spells are rather limited for this task, I'm afraid."

Sorry, nothing in here was trapped. Not really an ogre thing.
The keys for the chests were on the ogres or Hilda. You find 20 barrels
have rotting flour, 2 flat stale beer, 2 fresh beer, 15 of coal, and 2 of
oil. One of the flour barrels has been opened. The six boxes have sail
canvas in them. Crates 1 – 10 small metal shields, 2 – a dozen spears each,
3 – 20 short swords with 10 extra scabbards, 4 – 8 footman’s flails; 4- 12
felling axes with 12 extra handles; 3 – a dozen pair of hard high leather
boots (brown), 2 – 48 daggers with 12 extra scabbards; 2 – 24 footman’s
picks. Boxes, 1 – 100 beeswax candles, 1 12 ceramic vials (empty) packed in
sawdust; 1 – 23 balls of twine, 1 – a dozen pairs of soft low boots
(black), 1 – 8 shovelheads, and 28 blocks of red sealing wax along with two
of black. (1x1x6 inches each).
Among the coins are 43 sacks of copper each about 1200 coins
more or less.
In one chest, 500 small bags of 100 copper each. 132 green,
197 plain muslin, 6 blood stained, and 165 black bags. No idea the
significance of the colors, yet. In total, you will collect 808 platinum,
from an iron coffer in the girls' room, 2717 gold from Hilda's check. 588
random gold coins from the bodies and a grand total of 250,099 copper (all
total except the 50,000 in small bags).
The small box under the chief's (Lori's) bed. The small wooden
box lined with grey silk contains 23 gems; Amethyst, 2 x Aquamarine, Black
Pearl, Bloodstone, Brown-green Garnet, Citrine, Coral, Deep Blue Spinel,
Eye Agate, Freshwater Pearl, 2 x Golden Pearl, Golden Yellow Topaz,
Hematite, Jade, 2 x Jasper, Moss Agate, Silver Pearl, Violet Garnet, White
Opal, and a White Pearl.
There are also 10 two handed swords, one in a scabbard and
some jewelry pieces as well. Silver necklace with green gems, a silver
pendant with rubies, wrought gold earrings, a gold brooch with topazes, a
jade brooch, silver earrings with blue gems, a wrought silver and gold
crown with matched earrings, (all in a cabinet), Lori's silver pendant, and
a silver ring with an emerald on Hilda's left ring finger. The dung heap is
full of dung.
You can get everything moved into the current storage area. It
will take most of a day plus a bit to clean up all of the coinage.
Sadly (for the DM) nothing bothers you during this time, but
Sean swears he hears steam venting through the earth. Holly might agree
with him but is less sure.
