"My eyes and ears are sharp enough to spot trouble coming a mile away,"  Rose added in, after Aria's suggestion that they would be able to keep the Lady Sara safe on the little excursion she'd brought up.  "On top of that, from what I've seen, the Lady Sara is both loved and respected by the people of this domain, so even if something somehow sneaks up on us, I doubt we'll find ourselves alone in defending her.  Certainly, even just the mention of Garland's kidnapping plot was enough to get several people leaping to our aid earlier today."<br/><br/>The shifter accepted the kiss upon the cheek gracefully, returning it on the opposite one from where her companion had kissed the young woman, and before long they bid the group a fond farewell, heading back through the tree and into the tavern, and from there to the Fifth Queen and its adjoining shops, stables, and other assorted buildings.  It wasn't too long from there to the wizard-crafting place the rogue had mentioned, and before long it was down to a simple case of determining which pieces of the loot they wanted to keep, and which they would sell.<br/><br/>"You don't say?"  She responded, as they headed into the shop.  "Well, I certainly wouldn't mind hearing your ideas, since they've all been pretty good ones, thus far.  As far as our prizes go, though, I was thinking that I might keep any of the wands that I can use, since the pirates probably kept them around for utility.  Never know when some magic used by sailors might come in handy, after all."<br/><br/>And of course she was open to Aria keeping anything she wanted out of the goods, too, though as they were identified, a thought did come up when one particular item was brought up...<br/><br/>"By the way,"  She spoke up, at that time.  "Since that sextant was used with the ship, do you think we might be able to command an even higher price if we sell them together?  'Sail the Planes!', and so on...  Or do you think they might be worth so much together that we'll have difficulty finding a buyer?"<br/><br/>It was certainly food for thought...<br/><br/><br/><br/>Rose will be keeping the wands of various Ranger spells, since they might wind up coming in handy for her, and the Masterwork Lute, since it was a prize won in a competition, but aside from that she doesn't have anything else she wants to keep.  If Aria doesn't see anything that she'd like, then they can just sell off all the rest and spend their shares as they please.  She'll be setting 3,000 aside for the church of Tymora, though, since she said she'd come through with a big donation for them.<br/><br/>After that, I imagine she'll pick up some +6 Gloves of Dexterity, add a Belt of Battle onto her Belt of Giant's Strength, try trading in her Hat of Anonymity for a Hat of Mind Blank, and then if you have any other suggestions, I'm all ears. ^^ Any other leftover funds will probably either go towards improving her armor or be saved up for something.<br/><br/>Ah, but now that I think about it, keeping that Bag of Holding might be a good idea.  It makes for a convenient 'loot-sack'. ^^;<br/><br/>Edit: Oh, and just for future reference, I lurk on the GitP forums, though I don't have an account there. :P
