"If you are willing to forgive, I am as well of course. But I want her to know
that she cannot ill use men as she did. And I do not like having to kill
someone that didn't need killing." Sean shakes his head. "I know I am a
killer. I am quite good at it. But killing those two because it turns out
they were just hungry... that stuck in my craw. I had to kill a pirate once,
the ferocity of my attack on his mates drove him hysterical. I could not take
him with me, and I would not leave him to die a more horrible death..." Sean
pauses. "I have few regrets. But each of those instances come close. Your
girl best not lead me to another regretful incident."

I do not suppose she will be anywhere as good as Joseph was, but I think I need
an associate who has their own interests higher than serving me. They will be
less likely to get killed that way I think. But I defer to Mawby's claims on
her first. If he has none, then I would ask her to consider entering a
partnership with me, less than being a servant. Of course, I intend to remain
the 'senior' partner."

"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."

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

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

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.

OOC How far is this cave from water we could actually use to boat loot to

trip and a couple round trips via mule with portions of the loot before

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

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

daggers with 12 extra scabbards; 2 – 24 footman’s picks. Boxes, 1 – 100 beeswax

– 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.
