You all triumphantly return topside. There's a dockside bar, or you can return to the Guild or go shopping.

Before heading up, Mustave heals himself the rest of the way with his Healing Belt.

Once he gets up there, he looks to see if he can purchase 40 flasks of acid. If he can find a place that deals in magic swag, he looks for a +2 Vest of Resistance and/or a +2 Cloak of Charisma. If so, he'll see if they'll accept his Cloak of Resistance +1 and/or his 8 scrolls of Grease for part of the trade.

When his shopping is done, Mustave heads back to the guild. He checks in to report how things went, deposits the 5,000 gp reserved from the 50k found, and asks if there is any news.

OOC: when do we return for the guns?

You have a few days before the guns, you can find your stuff. What everyone else doing?

For those returning to Guild:

Morte will discretly take some dead slaver bodies and raise them them each day until she's at her control limit. (currently have 30 HD worth, my new limit is 36)

Morte will also go shopping with Mustave and see if it's possible for anyone to upgrade her Head Ribbons of Intellect +2 to +3 for 5k golden coins. The rest of her share of the booty will be deposited at the guild's coffers for now.

When she sees the commotion going around, she'll approach the sheriff and ask with a smile:

Good morning mister officer! Anything I can help you with today?

As long as I have a few days to kill, Mustave will spend some much-needed time with Stasia.

Pat will be hanging around the guildhouse, but will avoid directly confronting the protesters while making preparations in case they start something(IE. preparing his new spells).

You has 6 new skellies (I wil post them in pc sheet thread)

theres a dwarf who'll do the headband for 6k

Sheriff: "Are you with the Guild?"

oslecamo · « **Reply #246 on:** July 04, 2016, 08:27:35 PM »

Adjusting her brand new dwarfcraft headband, Morte replies:

Yes, I'm the guild's current senior vice-officer sub-secretary of transport management.

"Good you can stay out of the way. I'd advise going inside and telling yer ghosts buddies to fade for a bit."

After which he spins and backfists a cleric who promptly spits up several teeth before crumpling to the ground.

"I HAVE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH YOU FUCKING PEOPLE! TAKE THIS ASSHOLE TO BE RESURRECTED AND THE REST OF YOU FUCK OFF!"

"Hmph. I notice you didn't treat the ghosts this way."

"BECAUSE GHOSTS ARE ALREADY DEAD YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!! YOU CAN'T PUNCH WHATS IMMATERIAL! NOW EVERYONE FUCK OFF BEFORE I REALLY GET MAD!"

oslecamo · « **Reply #248 on:** July 07, 2016, 05:20:22 AM »

Morte discretly moves away from the angry sheriff and walks to the ghild's ghosts.

Now it's admirable you're holding the fort like this, but maybe it's best you go back inside for now, take some rest. Yes, I know you don't technically get tired, but you get what I mean. I'll guard the door for the time being And can any of you explain what exactly happened while I was gone?

ketaro · « **Reply #249 on:** July 07, 2016, 08:01:09 AM »

Shak'ri slowly slid around the outskirts of the present scene on the guild's doorsteps, coming back from a short-lived trip through the nearby shops empty-handed, and slipped in alongside Morte as casual as one could in this situation.

"So do the locals host festivals like this every day? Or only when we successfully complete a quest?"

" A zombie monk won the election at the Guild of Evil Minions, and he's making a legal push for Undead rights. This is just fallout from that. The protests get louder and weirder every day, and the Sheriff gets a little more pissed. The Council will be taking this up soon I guess, and you guys have been called to testify. You should prolly chat with yer secretary."

The crowd mostly disperses except for a few old men shaking their fists and saying "down with this sort of thing."

RobbyPants · « **Reply #251 on:** July 08, 2016, 08:15:41 AM »

(Assuming Mustave has gotten back by now)

Mustave goes to check with the secretary about the whole testifying thing. "What all do we have to do? I'm assuming I should keep my ghost girlfriend a secret?"

bhu · « **Reply #252 on:** July 08, 2016, 05:21:10 PM »

She seems a little nervous

"There's an attorney coming, you've probably got a month before they ask you to testify, and it'll mostly be about how the ghosts treat the living Guild members. Announcing you have a girlfriend could go either way. Plus out lawyer intends to argue that the undead could simply be made living again via resurrection if they're dangerous, so there's no real problem."

RobbyPants · « **Reply #253 on:** July 08, 2016, 11:10:30 PM »

"Interesting...

So we have a bit before we can collect our guns in Florida. Did any new work come in?"

bhu · « **Reply #254 on:** July 09, 2016, 01:28:09 AM »

"The Sheriff mentioned a possible job. I'd take it, Truffles got loose and ate a vendors cart before we found him."

RobbyPants · « **Reply #255 on:** July 09, 2016, 08:36:39 AM »

Mustave sighs, puts on his least offensive face, and goes out looking for the sheriff.

"If I'm not back by dinner, have someone come to the jail and bail me out. I'll pay 'em back."

bhu · « **Reply #256 on:** July 09, 2016, 05:00:34 PM »

Things have died down outside, but there is apparently a Junior Constable assigned to you. He salutes as you step outside.

"Clubby the Seal, reportin' fer duteh!"

You remember Clubby. Short, overly young anthropomorphic Seal, known for his wide eyed, innocent appearance, contrasted with his devastating club skills (and willingness to use them).

RobbyPants · « **Reply #257 on:** July 10, 2016, 09:02:28 AM »

"Oh, hey bud. What's been going on, lately? We were on Florida on official business for a little while."

After talking to Clubby, Mustave goes out to various places to get the general opinion from people about this whole undead rights movement. He wants to talk to all sorts of people, and also some guards, to get an idea about legal matters and how strictly things are being enforced.

Kulgan is surprised at the sight of the seal.

"What's this? Does the guild have pets?"

(he is an anthropomorphic seal)

"I am a full fledged constable sir. I can castrate a fly at 100 paces with my trusty Constable's baton. Worry not, I am here to protect you!"
