Continued from After the Ghouls

The DM: There’s a lot here to see. The three chests on the ground are all of high quality yellow pinewood, with brass fixtures, embossed with images of the crown of Denmark. They each have a metal plate that reads: H. Ross.

Inside each chest is 4,000 g.p.
There are three very fine looking shields on the wall and a collection of very nice looking weapons in the rack: three short bows, three spears, two maces and two short swords.
Above the dais (there are two plush yellow chairs you’ve found earlier that might conceivably have sat upon it), there is a 4 ft. wide shield, too large to use as a shield, with a profound and complex motif. This depicts a glowing gate upon a high flat mountain, a star above the gate and a host emerging from the gate; the quality is of “brilliant work,” meaning even those without a sense of aesthetics can recognize the extraordinary nature of it. It is made of materials that are a mixture of gold, quartz stones, chestnut wood and lacquer. There is something very compelling about it that far surpasses an ordinary decorative shield.

The DM: Lexent: Looked at Hold Person on the Wiki, found someone had reposted the augury spell’s description. Hold person only affects humanoids.

The DM: The furniture has been torn and damaged, and won’t be of much value for its weight. The benches and tables will still function as those things, but the resale value will be minimal. The plush chairs are ticky.
Lexent: I figured that would be the case for most of it, but you had mentioned the one nice looking chair when we first started moving the furniture so I thought I would check.
Fumigating the chair, removing the ticks (exterminate, one by one) and it would make a nice chair for your house.

Lexent: I thank and congratulate the sappers for a battle well fought, and ask them to start working on moving the furniture and treasure to the surface.

Lexent: Once they have started this process I begin communing with my gods, to gain access to Aid, Augury, and Hold Person in that order.

The DM: they get to work. Lexent: Hmmm. Another reference to H(amish) Ross.

The DM: Those chests clearly came from the Danish crown.

Marcule: "Strange place for these"

Lexent: Am I able to complete my meditation without incident?

The DM: Yes. But moving the treasure to the surface will take more time than that. About 2 hours altogether.

Vafrandir: In. Adding hireling XP up.

Lexent: Two questions regarding the potions: Was I able to tell before if they were the same type of potion? If not, has progressing in my study of medicine granted me the ability to recognise what the other potion is?

Vafrandir: What salvageable furniture can be gotten?

Lexent: It all looks like not worth the trouble to transport.

Vafrandir: Probably, but I want to be sure before we start burning.
Lexent: Do you want to keep the 'ticky' plush chairs or some benches/tables?

The DM: Potions fit under the Alchemy study. So, no, you wouldn’t know for sure they were the same, especially since you’ve only just thought of it and one of the potions is gone now. Vafrandir, the tables and benches are serviceable. The chests as well. The highly crafted chests would be valuable, but you’d have to explain how you came into possession of them.

The DM: I’ll need to get ready for the dentist. My ride is coming in 20 minutes. Please figure out how to split the treasure. Lexent, your spells are available. You might want to try casting Detect magic in the chieftain’s room before abandoning things there. It all looks very high quality. Out.

Lexent: That is indeed my plan.

Lexent: What do we all think of keeping this gold that is clearly connected to the Danish Crown and Hamish Ross?

Vafrandir: We can well arm our hires with these weapons. Figuring out how to divide it evenly might be tricky.

Vafrandir: On the one hand, we aren't in Denmark. On the other hand, the Crown's reach may be long. 12,000 gp could win a lot of hearts in Treborg though...

Lexent: I'd prefer to not divide it evenly, quite honestly. I think we might each be able to gain another level depending on how we do it and the value of the items.

Lexent: I have potential interest in a mace and perhaps a shield since these are better quality.

Vafrandir: I'm perfectly fine with that. We may need to get the items appraised first before distribution.

Lexent: A 1/8th share of the gold comes out to just under 300 GP. If we are comfortable spending it, we could allocate that much to each hireling.
