Lingering Gets You Into Trouble

[Hero]

I don't think you can do that without him there.  Natsu went to retrieve him.  Hero, how does the spell work?

Only let's me see. I cast it for Tragorum's moonlit scuba excursion, but that has long since expired when I go to retrieve him the next morning.

[Valdis]

Tragorum leaves without showing Natsu, correct?  What is Natsu's reaction to that?

"So, where are we going now? You are welcome to come back the Collection Point."

Yes, he tells Natsu he will meet him tomorrow to identify the items.

[Valdis]

Natsu takes the opportunity to discuss Tragorum's religious affiliations.

Every time he does, Tragorum manifests 2 astral constructs to cover his ears.

[Hero]

Yes, he tells Natsu he will meet him tomorrow to identify the items.

There are no magical items, only mundane valuables. We know that from the augury I cast. We should take inventory of what was collected and deposit it immediately in the scry-proof chest, either the one at the safehouse or the one at the shrine. Let it sit for a few days in case the owners or the city attempt to use divinations to locate the recovered objects. Waiting until tomorrow is unwise.

Natsu makes a mental note to raise the price of Tragorum's next crafting order by 5%.

"You assume that we do not also have a scry-proof chest?  My brother and I will appraise the items and report back to everyone the contents of the haul during our next communication."

[Valdis]

During the next communication the twins report that the Shipwreck loot includes nothing magical, the waterproof bag has a value of 10gc, while the contents include 980gc in small Destroytian Republic minted gold bars.  They suggest we melt the bars down so they can not be traced.

[Hero]

"You assume that we do not also have a scry-proof chest?  My brother and I will appraise the items and report back to everyone the contents of the haul during our next communication."

Frankly, I am concerned about collusion. It is nothing personal, given the opportunity to deceive for personal gain most people would. If you wish your brother to appraise the items instead of me, that is fine, but I will be there as a casual observer to remove the temptation.

[Valdis]

"As you will.  I find your lack of faith...disturbing.  We will go together to appraise the items."

[Asinjin]

To clarify and remind, the canton where the security force mainly operates is Kamas.  The canton to the south, where the Street Fishers were located is Damedum,

[Hero]

"As you will.  I find your lack of faith...disturbing.  We will go together to appraise the items."

"Trust but verify" I always say.

[whitesword]

So what's our plan?

[Asinjin]

Esme and Ayva are returning soon and there will be a meeting to discuss what you will all do next.

Open questions remain:

- Find Rik?
- Evil Remy?
- Make coin off the resort?
- new monkey?
- Security Solutions plan?

[Hero]

I still think we should the circus on their last night in town.

I vote for cleaning up our mess, by which I mean Rik and Remy. Uncle Robb always said "everyone wants to go to the ball, but no one wants to stay and clean the hall."
