"Yeah something to eat would be nice!"

[spazyak]

Go with Noir to get something nice to eat.

"Alright, let's get going."
Jackmoffers out a hand to Noir

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Head on out with jack
She takes your offered hand eagerly.

There is little in the way of loot available - some weapons and light armor, and ... oh, there are three vials of what Terance identifies as an antitoxin, there is a leather talisman, and a pewter hair pin, for some reason. Additionally, the group finds about 24000 copper pieces. So, that's a fairly substantial ache right there. Dessmo puts the copper in the captain's cabin of the ship to be distributed later, except for 1000 of it, which he uses for travel expenses - food, minor equipment replacements, that kind of thing, at the small port you arrive at when you cross to the mainland.

Here is your full description of the loot we got from the fish dudes. Terrance took the antitoxin and the talisman (which we now know to be the "Pendant of Tales"). Nobody claimed the pewter pin. You described us burning the corpses prior to mentioning the weapons and armor among the other loot, so I'm assuming they didn't go up in flames; that being said, nobody purposefully hauled them to the boat.

In case it affects our final payout: Jack took a light sword, some leather armor, and some boots off of a dead guy, Terrence kept two bowls and three forks belonging to the baron, and Aylia mooched clothes at various points. Note that Jack wasn't actually seen stripping the corpses by any of his teammates.

We had the first defeated robot hauled back to the ship. I threw all of the relevant information about its physical condition into the spoiler below.

Spoiler: Spiderbot (click to show/hide)

First detailed description of the robot, based on the villagers' memory:

Seems the mechanoid is all brass and tubes and glass lenses, with white smoke piping out of a chimney tube on top at irregular intervals. it has six jointed legs with pinchers at the ends, and it is the size of a large deer. it has a jointed body with four segments, several gripping appendages in addition to the six legs, and some lights of various colors. It seems able to climb vertically with little difficulty, but has trouble navigating around obstacles, as if it can't really see them sometimes

Description of the robot's "blood" and severed leg (I edited the formatting slightly, for your convenience).

the blood is a viscous brown, with a strange mix of light green. the two seem to not mix, but nor do they separate like oil and water would. The leg is about four feet in total, though it bends back on itself and you can't ever seem to get it to straighten out completely. it is brass, with tubes and pipes running along it, and rubber flanges at the joints. There is evidence of the blood inside the leg. Curiously, it is not in the tubes or pipes, but inside the exoskeletal brass casing. It's purpose eludes you. The end of the leg looks mangled, like it was twisted and smashed off. a sort of cross between these:

Based on a quick re-read of the relevant turns, the machine suffered these additional injuries after we arrived:

Missing an "antena or something" that Terrance pulled off (would that be in his inventory?)
Possible damage to its shell from Jack dropping a rock on it
Unidentified stone lodged in its gears (see Terrance's inv for description of it)
Water damage from Loki's drowning attacks, presumably
Likely internal damage ("something metallic banging rhythmically inside")
Unidentified broken glass component(s)

If anybody knows of something I missed, please say so.

It's safe to assume Aylia returned the clothes when she was done using them.

Well, the kitchen at Omega is currently underwater. There was a recent food delivery, along with some other supplies. I wonder where that got unloaded? Probably upstairs somewhere. Maybe Thrips will make you guys a nice something. you'll have to ask around.

Very thorough. Alright, let's see. Whatever someone filched is their property now, so Terrance is stuck with the antitoxin and the Vocal Bore. I believe everyone is relatively well situated for armor, so any that was taken to the ship would be put into Omega's storehouse. Probably the only things to divvy up are the coins. So, Dessmo offers up 2000 copper for each teammate. Hmm. An additional 500 for Aylia for her go-between work, and an additional 500 each for those involved in both mechanical takedowns. Am I missing any outstanding services done in the name of the actual mission?

Claim your copper in this thread, and you can use it to purchase goods and services in Omega Legion. for a comparison, i'll use the standard DnD 5e handbook prices for things. But that will only be a rough guide.

[Lenglon]

2500c claimed. is that still 25g? or did money values change from 3e to 5e?

1gold = 10 silver = 12 electrum = 100 copper = 1000... i think it was tin? whatever, nobody ever used it, nor did they use electrum, because math is annoying.

gold and silver are a little scarcer in Omegaverse, so the exchange rate is off. but in 5e DnD yes, it's the same.

Spoiler: Regarding, ah, outstanding services (click to show/hide)

*ahem

"TERRANCE BELIEVES THAT IN ITS ROLE AS FARSEER, PAIN SUPPRESSOR, AND MEDIATOR FOR ITS FELLOW LEGIONNAIRES, IT PROVIDED AN INVALUABLE SERVICE TO THE TEAM. WHILE DEFENDING A FORTRESS, IT WAS PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATHS OF THREE ENEMY SEAPEOPLE. THAT IS ASSUMING THAT IT COUNTED CORRECTLY; IT DOES NOT PLACE THE SAME VALUE ON SUBTERRAPODAN LIVES THAT SOME BIPEDS DO. NO DISRESPECT IS INTENDED. IT THEN PROCEEDED TO SAVE THE LIFE OF ONE OF ITS SUPERIORS, AND ATTEMPTED- IN VAIN, UNFORTUNATELY- TO THWART WHAT IT BELIEVES WAS AN ATTEMPT AT SABOTAGE. I WILL ELABORATE ON THIS POINT, IF YOU WISH TO BRING THE PERPETRATOR TO JUSTICE. IT REPRESENTED OMEGA LEGION SKILLFULLY IN ITS ENGAGEMENTS WITH SEVERAL FOREIGN ACTORS. CRUCIALLY, IT SHOWED GREAT VALOR IN NEUTRALIZING TWO HIGHLY DANGEROUS CONSTRUCTS, THUS BRINGING 'PEACE OF MIND', TO PUT IT FIGURATIVELY, TO THE BARON'S PEOPLE. THESE ACTS ALL ARE CONSISTENT WITH TERRANCE'S HISTORY OF SERVICE TO THE QUEEN AND HIS OR HER KINGDOM. THEREFORE, IT BELIEVES THAT IT MAY DESERVE SOME FORM OF ADDITIONAL REWARD."

I've played DnD exactly twice, so I'm not very familiar with the prices. Am I right in thinking that 25 gold is nowhere near enough for a busted up spiderbot?

Something like that, based off 3.5 for a similar sounding vehicle that is essentialy a bathysphere on crab legs, is 2500 gold at least. So yeah.

[spazyak]

Jack frowns at the sight of the flooded kitchen
"Well seems that is out of the question. What do you say we just find a nice place to sit down talk, kr what ever you wish to do?"

((I feel I am increasingly writing in the styles of an old british chap talking to a pall of his in ye old pub))

[syvarris]

((Yeah, 3.5 is the latest edition I'm familiar with.  This seems to be a decent reference, as does this if you want quicker reference.  I'm not 100% certain that those are accurate 5e SRD, though, because I've never seen the legitimate stuff.))

Dar'yajira splits his share between Noir and Aylia, taking none of it himself.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Noir thinks for a few moments and quietly looks around.
"I like the  water we could go swimming maybe?"

((Yeah, 3.5 is the latest edition I'm familiar with.  This seems to be a decent reference, as does this if you want quicker reference.  I'm not 100% certain that those are accurate 5e SRD, though, because I've never seen the legitimate stuff.))

Dar'yajira splits his share between Noir and Aylia, taking none of it himself.

Noir stares at the money looking kinda confused.
" huh...What's this dar?"

[spazyak]

"Swimming would be great."

[syvarris]

((Assuming this happened in the past, when money was being divvied up.))

The feline lays sprawled near Noir, not even shifting to look at her.  He explains in a bored tone that "This one has no need for metal coin.  Cat cannot carry, Cat does not buy.  Shifter and Halfdragon have use; therefore coin should be given to them."
