[QUOTE="Demetrios1453, post: 9304858, member: 6801060"] [B][I]Pool of Radiance [/I](Part 32): The Nomad Camp (Part 3) - Nomad Camp completed!

The good news is that they are relatively high level - and they can sweep just like my fighters can!

[ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot 2024-03-30 210501.png"]355160[/ATTACH] Well, beyond the trash short swords they had (list not shown), it's just coin, but we'll still take it! However, the chief now gives us his reward for driving the kobolds off, and it looks to be even better! [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot 2024-03-30 210520.png"]355161[/ATTACH] Again, a lot of cash, but we'll take it.

[ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot 2024-03-30 210651.png"]355167[/ATTACH] That's a pretty significant drop in encumbrance.

Let's see what they are. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot 2024-03-30 210903.png"]355169[/ATTACH] We'll give the wand to Bragir (since Brin already has one), and the sword to Brin (since Bragir has the anti-undead two hander).

(We could, since the kobold caves are the next mission, just go a bit southeast and work on that commission, but I'd rather go back to town to heal, rest up, and, most of all, clear out some of this loot and coin so the party will have room and encumbrance to pick up whatever treasure may await there.)

[ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot 2024-03-30 211150.png"]355174[/ATTACH] We sell our loot, and old loot we have no further use for.
