Slipping the ring that Daerith gave him off his finger he slides it over to Daerith.
"Thanks Daerith, it came in very handy. I figured you might be wanting it back, though it was rather dashing on me I think."
Chanur flashes a grin at Daerith.

Re: Spinning a Yarn
When the stories begin, and knowing Daerith likes the attention on him, Sindu quietly goes to a corner of the room. He sits cross legged on the floor palms up and closes his eyes. Quietly murmuring something, you figure possibly a prayer to Wee Jas, he sits as if meditating on some inner energy. As he sits strait backed, some signs of his weariness dissipate. As the stories end, he rises from his rigid position and returns to his companions at the table seemingly refreshed from the previous ventures.

Re: Spinning a Yarn
Daerith reaches over and takes the ring back, "I agree, your hat looked rather nice on me..." he winks and slips the ring back on his finger. Anyone can see he was bluffing about wearing Chanur's hat, h never actually put it on. "We have quite a bit of things we'll want to sell off, and Berek, your leads on the Taxedermist Shop, should be about due? I think we may find we have a sizable amount of gold in our pockets even after a donation to the temple to get this disease removed."

Re: Spinning a Yarn
Daerith frowns, he can understand Berek's attachment to the blade. He waits for Berek to leave the room and looks at the other a bit remorseful, "I was only thinking of getting him a replacement. He's really taking this hard if he doesn't care about gold."

Re: Spinning a Yarn
Fin looks about the room, apparently bewildered by the preceeding events.
"I don't quite understand. It was an axe; not even a magical axe. Why is he taking this so hard?"

The end of a long day
As Tolin is on his way out, he takes Daerith's proffered hand. "No hard feelings at all," he says, his normal arrogance absent for a change. "That was a tight situation. We owe you guys one." Then he rushes off to get a priest.
The couple of hours is spent catching each other up, resting, and mourning the loss of Berta. Everyone tells their tale so that you are all caught up. You learn of the daring defense made by the Jade Ravens, and how it was finally overwhelmed by the bullywugs. You discover, thankfully, that although some of the Vanderboren wealth was gathered together, nothing of significance was taken.
Eventaully Kora forces her way up and heads to the kitchen, with Kaskus following. Ostensibly the dwarf goes to keep her company, but you all know that he's going to make sure the older halfling doesn't push herself too hard. For all that she's been healed completely, the trials of the last several hours have taken their toll on her. "I'm afraid it may be time for Kora to retire," Lavinia says, once her housekeeper is out of the room. "She was getting on in years when I was a child. At the very least, I need to get serious about hiring a staff to help her."
A little later the issue of paying to have your disease cured comes up and Lavinia raises a hand. "I'll take care of any required donations to the temple of Wee Jas," she says. "You were injured in my service. It's only fair I see to such things." And when talk turns to the loss of Berta, she also adds, "I know a good dwarven smith in the Noble's District. If you trust his workmanship, we'll get you a proper successor to Berta." She knows better than to even imply it would be a replacement.
In time, two priests of Wee Jas arrive, dressed in their finest robes. They've clearly stepped away from participating in the Wormfall Festival in some way. But having been warned of the possibility of disease in a city whose population has been swelled by the festival, they've come quickly. They perform a quick diagnosis and find Berek, Daerith, Chanur, and Wavedancer in need of treatment. Sindu, silently meditating since the battle ended seems to have rid himself of the foul disease on his own. Once granted time to rest and get the proper feel for how the disease had effected his body, the monk was able to use the power of Wee Jas to burn any trace of infection from his body without the need of healing magic. For the rest of you, however, there are spells and scrolls that removed the disease as efficiently, though with a bit more fanfare.
Once they've departed, Lavinia gathers you all around the table. "You have my deepest thanks, both Jade Ravens and Sea Wyverns. Without you all, I would have lost everything, including my life. I owe you all a great debt of gratitude. So I give you the Jade Ravens and the Sea Wyverns." She raises her glass. "Success and good fortune to you both."

Re: The end of a long day
Oddly the clerics cleansing rituals also wiped the effect off the hard liquor from Berek's mind but can not fill the hole in his sould he was wanting to fill. He takes his seat at the table a glass of fermented grape juice in his hands he gloomil joins the toast and drinks. He appreciates Lavina's generosit but clearl it can do nothing to lighten the Dwarf's spirits. Instead he begins to think about buisness and is eager to find out if anone might be interestted in purchasing a new house.
