Jondo requests a credit on equipment in lieu of the promised rate. Penny will put it in the suggestion box for the council.
Armory - Past the temple of Torum (I shoul talk to Deacon Strom). Axes, Chain mail are pretty low quality compared to that produced in the smithy here, but could be melted down for raw materials. Plate is sericeable, though.
Head to Pelver's to sell the arm bands, thenecklace, and the statue. Sign (Gems Candlestick, Dagger).
Quinar heads off to the hall of records. while we go to Pelvin's and finds about Goblins, Orcs, Kobolds, Gnolls...
Pelvins has lots of amazing treasures: Incense, Colorful displays of purple, yellow, etc, Dim lighting, Bell rings as we enter (but no bell is visible). Toefur tests the door a few times to see if he can figure out how it works.
Jondo and Pelvin discuss the armbands while Toefur wanders in awe at all the neat stuff in the shop.
Pelvin offers 60 GP for the amulet
Toefur tosses a bag of thunderstones around to see if the weight would be right for his sling. Pelvin quicly emplains that they are not something to play with and takes the statue into the back to examine it better .
Offers 150 GP for the statue and quickly relieves Toefur of some Alchemist's fire that he is hefting, explaining it's potency. He explains what the sunrods do and Toefur buys three at 3 GP each.

Doorbell again.
Head to the market and get pen and ink for 8 GP.
Toefur asks about livestosk, since he misses the sound of the busy marketplace in Jordia, but is told that the dwarves import all their foodstuffs and do there is none in the market.
On the way back to the inn, Toefur detours to the temple to look for Deacon Strom, but finds Deacon Kurlak, instead. Learns of Eldar Bendar Ironbiter, the Paladin of Torum. Rillanon is the elven god of Storms and his spouse is Adara, who has never chosen a paladin as far as the deacon knows. Deacon explains what a Paladin is and Toefur debates with himself where to go from there.
Rognar: "This guy talks to sheep?"
Talk to somebody to get in to talk to the council about compensation.

Toefur: "Shall we get a mule to carry our stuff back on this next trip?"
Q: "No, we have a dwarf."
Pick up 20 pints of oil, dwarven mail for the dwarf and a quiver and another spear for Toefur.
Toefur notices an oversized pad of paper and some charcoal markings (drawings) in Penny's office when they return there to give her the receipts (80-90 GP). Renew our commission papers.
Toefur meets with Bendar:
Guards at the council building
Bendar feels like he has failed cause he did not lead the dwarves to victory
Afer a battle he wandered around alone for a while until he saw a wall start glowing. A rock dwarf walked out from the wall. his eyes burned with real fire. Called bendar to lead his dwarven children.

Head Out the next morning.
Camp that night Toefur, Rognar, and Jondo take watches. No disturbances. Get to the canyon by late afternoon and there are no apparent tracks at our usual point of entry.
Climb down and run past the rotting bodies of the gnolls. Light a torch in the next room and check out the barracks, gnoll store room (all empty)
Dwarf gets a rope in case we need it and it appears that all the caves are empty and unused. We sleep in Unk's room for the night.Jondo teaches everyone how to open and close the door. We listen in the passage and at the door... nothing
The store room appears to have been slightly re-arranged and some of the foodstuffs are different, but it is still all orderly. Sounds similar to a low moaning are cut off and then a shrill piping. the floors are incredibly smooth. Toefur's footsteps in his metal boots echo alarmingly. the crates and sacks say Grain, Corn, etc in common.
Q has a plan. There is motion around the corner. Toefur notices a purple light and the smell of death and decay. Humanoids round the corner in red and black uniforms, hefting battle axes and missing miscellaneous chunks of skin. There is definately an air of wrongness about them.

R checks out the madalion while T leans against wall, breating heavy.
Q detects magic. Necklaces glow magical so T uses spear to pick them mup and place them in a bag.
Check the hallway ahead. It turns to the tight and passes a locked door (locked on our side). continuedown the gall. Lots of branches and down one is an iron doorwiwt a window and a lone woman, scantily clad. T looks in to detect evl, but sounds of his scuffling alert the woman, who hisses and T gets stoned.
Woman pleads for heall and offers to provide an antidote in exchange for her freedom. Sounds sinncere
Q finds a mirror in his pack and hands it to J, who says he will bacm in and count, cover her head with a blanket and get the vial. If he stops counting suddenly or finds no antidote, then Q wil use te mirror on her and turn her to stone.
J does so with his shield up and the woman says it is covering her face. J searched the room again and finds it empty except for some skeletal remains and the woman. He picks the lock on one manacle so the woman can get the vial from within her bodice and holds it out. "Now free my other hand"
J I don't know whethr it works yet. let me try it ono my friend and if it works then i will release you. you ohave my word.
R checks and it appears not to be poison.
J pours a couple drops on T and he begins to return. after 1/6 of the vial is applied, Toefur is restored.
J: you ok?
T: yes, where did you all come from? and how did the door get opened?
J: we have a meduse
M: do not leave me. i kep m promise
T: what ppromisee
M: they will kill me
T: have you always stoned ppl?
debate ensues about what to do with the medusa.
