Suppose I'll see what I can get out of the dice today...

 Venslas Wayclav, Paladin 3 | Detail Page | DNDBeyond Page AC: 18 | HP: 29/29 | Passive Perception: 13 | Initiative: +0 |  Venslas pinched the bridge of his nose and scrunched his face a bit trying to understand the legalese being tossed out. "So do you identify things if we pay 50 a week, or do we have to pay for each identification? And what is this about brokering sales? Either you want what we have, or we want what you have, or nobody wants it and no one buys anything... Why does it have to sound like it is more than it is? We want the armor identified, and maybe this rock, and then if we don't wish to keep them, we may see if you are interested in buying them. If not you, we can find someone else. Why a retaining fee? I just don't get it..."   He seems genuinely not to understand the framing of the deal. He looks to the others, knowing some of them have better heads for accounting and such. "If it all makes sense to you guys, I'll support it. I don't feel like being taken advantage of in a web of words when I just want to know what we've got and what she's got. And if we don't want what is identified, to see if she'll buy it." He doesn't seem to get that the retainer probably covers a number of identify spells already, or other research as she said. He just isn't that fast when the words get too precise.

I'm no expert, but maybe if it is magical it'll speak out to me. Stranger things have happened, and I imagine it'll be a long minute at the book guy's place." Assuming Krag doesn't mind Venslas examining the stone, he will study it and try to divine its purpose. In the end though, the big man just finds himself holding a rock that keeps its secrets to itself.

Whether it is about the logistics of identifying things or what he might be able to buy for supper is up for debate. He does reply to Krag, though. "That makes sense. If there's anything going on that might want us divided, then there is no need to help that. If Anders can't see us until tomorrow, let's get our business done this evening as we are able, and be rested to deal with whatever he has to impart upon us after our update tomorrow. Of course, he may have a track on other things for us to handle, being the most qualified in the area, I imagine. We'll see. I think we can get a whole chicken tonight, though, and ales all around if our story sounds good. I'll put in a few silvers if we have to pay, though."

When it comes to sorting the gear they've found, other than what they provide to the merchants, he is not interested in any of it. "Whomever wishes to visit the Unspoken can take this book I found in the lab. Unless anyone wants any of these other weapons and armor, I suggest we try to sell them off. Might ask about these golden body parts, but if they are nothing special, they are at least gold. When we have all the coin we can muster from what we don't keep, we can deal with the split then. That's my stance on it, anyway." He just seems to be glad to be finished with that strange job knowing that they can afford to eat and drink and have a roof for a while longer, at least. Of course, he gives off vibes of being ready for more action at the same time.

Unfortunately for Rusty and Ingemar, the large man's dodging was not the smoothest, and he impeded their own attempts to evade the stuff. As their armor and clothing began to sizzle, Venslas reached out to pull them back a step. "Hey, back up! I don't think we need to mess with that. Look, there's Krag and Waylan; unless you wanna try mopping this stuff to keep the cave clean, I think we are done here." Rusty manages to use some of his power to take care of himself, and Venslas uses some of his own to stop the burning on Ingemar. He catches the others' attention from across this cavern.   "Watch out! There's something nasty in here. Burned these two a bit. We didn't run into anyone else. Did you?" With agreement that nobody remains, Venslas steels himself for a boat ride back to town. Actions Use Lay on Hands to restore 9 HP to Ingemar

That's what I'm hearing!"    When they reach the fork, he agrees to the plan. "If we run into anyone, I'll bump their head just hard enough to sit them down. Shouldn't be a problem."

Knowing he alone would account for the weight of nearly three people and that he would not float if something were to happen, he isn't confident in taking the boat. It looks big enough, but he isn't ready to commit to it just yet. "Well, lets finish up with our searching of the tunnels, then see if we can figure out what sort of signals and schedules these slavers used. If we can identify their contacts, we might have better luck putting an end to it altogether. All Anders wanted was proof whether this was a hotspot or whether it is not. I think we might have proof that something organized was going on here, and it wasn't a good, legitimate business.   "And I don't know about the boat, really. Ingemar, you think it would be fine to take back to town from here, or would it be more trouble than it's worth? I don't mind rowing, but I'm not keen on it sinking with me in it. Swimming in my armor doesn't sound very pleasant..."

He notes Ned, and merely gives him a kick in the head. "Coward," he says to the body.   "Was there anything else in here worthwhile? I do suppose we need to be wary of others still deeper down the tunnel. I'm ready." He hefts his hammer and shield, adjusts his pack, and is ready to continue on down the tunnel towards the sounds of waves.

A flurry of activity erupted and Venslas was oddly slow to react. Most of the potential enemies were defeated quickly via magic and physical prowess, but one hobgoblin remained by the time Venslas had his senses about him. Stepping up quickly to stand beside Rusty, Venslas strikes out with his warhammer, hoping for a quick resolution but prepared for further aggression. The battle energizes the almost-holy man.

He does grunt and say, "Southeast it is then. Stay with me." He starts that way.

He can take a few punches when we get to him for his deception, the lowlife..." Venslas says, He has his warhammer and shield ready, and sees the previously hidden shaft with the others. He takes Waylan's thoughts on the matter to heart, but is willing to go first.   "I can take a hit still, and my armor is sturdy. I'll go first, and hopefully we just find the runt down there with his buddies and don't get any other nasty surprises along the way," he says.

We cannot just fight everyone we come across, but if they are working with necromancers and the undead, then they need to get knocked around a little. Maybe they will have answers, though, if we encourage them to be nice..." He seems to be ready to threaten first, hit them second.
