I Dedicate This Post To THAT FUCKING JET BLUE PILOT, BABY
Looks like Cinder's post turned out okay. Just like that FUCKING JET BLUE AIRPLANE, HOLY SHIT, DID ANYONE ELSE SEE THAT? MOTHER OF CHRIST!
Marivhon, Greetles thanks you for the book. "Hmm, thanks. Minotaurs, I think those guys are pretty neat. There aren't any spoilers for Dragons of Spring Dawning are there? Because I haven't read that one yet. Maybe if you guys go on another adventure to Barnes and Nobles you could pick me up a copy? I can pay you in advance just in case, no big deal if you don't find one on your adventures. Um, any mayor stuff I should do, proclamations or anything? Otherwise I've got some weeding that needs taken care of, and I don't trust the zombies to avoid my new tomato plants."
Tell ya what, as a starting gift for the new guild, Grimes just gives you two extra-healing potions and one invisibility potion. For future notice, extra-healing potions are 250 gp and invisibility potions are 300 gp. Buy as many as you like.
Greetles is open to the idea of a vineyards. He'll have to examine the soil and the water. If it's not too much to ask, maybe you could pick up a volume or two on viticulture?
Urkles the Accountant considers the idea of opening a bar in the mayor's old house. Urkles is kind of an uptight dick in turns out- he says "Well that all sounds very nice, but you do you intend to call it? The Murdered Mayor tavern? Drinks Are On The Deadman? Let's think about this some more, I'll check the numbers and get back to you. You know that your finances aren't in the greatest of shape."
Halfling Dan doesn't really see what problem there is with being a halfling. "And what's that you're saying about my momma? Yeah, that's what I thought." Brogg, Halfling Dan tries to pick pockets you later, he kifes 20 gp with a blogroll of 18.
...
So, also at the end of Dave's training time, word arrives from Durth, in the form of one Brother Aaron Orcsides. Brother Aaron brings recent news of the Monks of Progress, from the perspective of the temple of Grisbane (of which he's a 3rd level priest).
It's bad.
Basically, the monks have run all the temples out of town, and Durth has an addendum to the city motto:
The MoP, in a campaign spearheaded of course by the Mysterious X, and executed most notably by Shi Jukka, claim to have removed all priests and temples from Durth. In reality, says Orcsides, some of the temples fled to underground caves. Those priests who wouldn't leave, or were slow to leave, were murdered. "I saw that Jewka guy personally rip apart five or six half-breed priests! It was horrible! My god, Grisbane, where art thou?"
The Bar of Odin is closed. Most of the Odinites fled to Greyhelm, but the high priest was too drunk to get up and got Quivering Palmed. Dave, when you hear this news, you do a quick calculation based on Brother Aaron's news and realize you must be not only the highest level priest in Grito, but you're probably the fifth or sixth most powerful priest in the clergy of Odin in the world. Not sure if that's good news or not.
Currently, there seem to be no plans by the MoP to further take over Durth or to mobilize on other cities. Still, it sucks for the clerics.
