Laying down the Pelor


Hands clenched tightly behind his back and head bowed, Demitasse stands in silence as Quondam, the Canon of his church responds to his report.
To his surprise, the old man doesn’t shout or scream at him for his failure but merely says…
“Hem.”
He then sends for some gold to repay Bastien, Volkon and Nitendea for the magical axe they used to secure the orc Lugdum’s services.
After a few minutes of silence, a heavy chest arrives.
“Give this to your new associates”.
Demitasse looks confused.
“Associates your worship?”
Quondam smiles a slow, sad smile.
“Yes, my young apprentice. As you and the cleric of Fharlanghn are both now searching for lost artifacts of your respective houses; your fates are intertwined. Your mission is now the same as his mission… Find the lost artifact and stop whatever evil plot the Drow have planned for it”.
The young, bearded cleric genuflects in reverence before backing out of Quondam’s extravagant chambers.
“As is your wish.”

The chest is delivered within the hour and the Party get another 8,400gp.
None of the henchmen were around when the axe was first won, so therefore the spoils needn’t be divided up beyond three shares.

Bastien: 2,800gp
Volkon: 2,800gp
Nitendae: 2,800gp

  3. Honestly? I didn't know there was a joke there till you pointed it out. But now I get it I'll concede it is brilliant!
    Also, yes! More gold and a loyal healer! I shall probably spend my money on healing though :S
