I can see it as well.

“I disagree. Since the chest isn’t ours, we don’t have the legal standing to even sell it. Granted I agree with you if we are allowed to keep the chest, but for now, our hands are tied until an official decision has been made on the chest.”

Once he calms down, Tarwal may consider claiming the chest. There’s a good chance it’s either his or Mayald’s. Interested or not, Mayald may not be pleased to find we’ve sold it out of hand, once his mind turns to it. Lords can be finicking where their preerogatives are concerned.

Best not to annoy Authority, I say. Take it back, so it’s available if he asks. You could maybe leave it with your stuff and see if anyone remembers it, if you like, but that’s as much as I’m comfortable with.

Let’s reach a concensus on what to do with the chest.

Are you on your way back to Falkath now?

We are so amazingly close to the end of this scenario, we just need to wrap it up.

I won’t complain about whatever decision we make about the chest. Those who want to sell it needs make the final decision.

Ingmar cares not about what happens with the chest- but if we sell it, he wants a borking cut!

Looks like Cella wants to give the chest to Mayald, but won’t argue, while Eran thinks that Tarwal has a better claim. Gered and I lean toward turning it over and letting others sort it out. Symon wants to sell it, and Ingmar doesn’t care either way, although if it’s sold, he wants his share.

"Sounds like we only have one strong vote for selling it, so that’s out. We can argue whether to turn it over and who to on the road.

How’s the weather look for travel?"

Muddy.

And overcast. But warm.

"Don’t get me wrong, though. Tarwal owes us big time for getting his ass out of that place. And Mayald owes us for saving the kid and destroying the evil knife. So I believe we are entitled to a hefty portion of what that chest is worth, however, what is legal and what is proper don’t always mesh. Ultimately, it’s going to be Mayald’s decision.

“Regardless, we _did_ save a child, so even if we get nothing for our troubles, we at least can take comfort that we did a good thing…But good deeds don’t put food in your stomach.”

"Do you think there’s any chance they might hire us to go after those lizards?

We could ask."

Who knows what sort of hero’s welcome you might receive?

So, is Symon carrying the chest?

It’s easiest for two people to carry it.

I’m guessing that we’re taking turns, then.  
Man, I wish I had a horse.

Should we roll to see who’s holding the chest, or is there someone who would make sure to carry it on the last lap into town?

This may just be mercenary paranoia, but is the town looking happy to see us?

Gered and Symon are holding the chest when you arrive.

You get a hero’s welcome, including hugs, handshakes, and a few “fuck me” eyes from the younger women.

Gered will acknowledge the various hugs, handshakes, etc. but will try to find the Lord and make a beeline for him (as long as Symon goes along with him of course).

If anyone is offering a congratulatory flagon of something fermented, Brunis will make sure it doesn’t go to waste.
