Manrug will tell Hagar he will not rule out working over Hilda's caverns,
but he doesn't feel they have the strength to hold such a space on their
own right now. Maybe if he gets some help in the form of another mercenary
company or some more settlers, etc.
The party will be able to return to Hilda's and recover the rest of their
plunder. It will take a couple of trips assuming Xander uses one item spell
for the copper and one on another large cache of materials.

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. since I am waiting for a zoom meeting to begin, (I hate zoom

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

Ok, In doing way too many calculations and readings on the Item spell

troops take the time, the copper coins can be dealt with with a single item
