One of the guards that left, soon returned pushing a cart ahead of him, for Marric to load up the gemstones, the vials of healing potions, the silver pickaxe and the crate with 5 masterwork shortswords, even if they were small sized.<br/><br/>As Marric arrived to the tavern, he was greeted by a warm smile from the barmaid, and a wave of hand from the bartender. "Back eh, do you got notices going back to board or ... " The bartender smiled. "... is the ruckus at the edge your doing? A guard earlier came shouting something about goblins, that your doing?" He smirked jokingly. "That aside, I got a cold aale for you if you are drinking." He put up a pint, then listening in to Marric.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">You can ask to RP this out better if you want, you are free to post your version a little, but also hoped to help describe this at ease.</div></div><br/>At the show of the silvertooth, the silver pickaxe the barmaid rushed off, only to soon return with a stumpy man with a big belly and a good sized beard, looking like a healthy but a bit short dwarf, or a rather big gnome. With a grin, he looked at the pick-axe and Marric. "I think you done me a great service today. I promised a hundred gold to scare the goblins away, and another hundred for my silvertooth. You deserve both, and the township is in for another hundred that they promised to pay when they heard that you got here with all the stuff. A guard noticed you got gems with you I think."<br/><br/>His expression relaxed, he sighed. "I'd like to argue about it, but if it was loose and there were goblins there, I'll agree they might've as well run off with all of it, so what you picked up is yours, other than my pick. Just leave the mine alone from now on, alright? Though I can buy the ore and gems from you, right now, if you reckon. You already got 300 gold for the reward for pick and the mine, but I'll take the jewels off of you for... say, an even sum of 700 gold? I saw a fair share of opals and quartz there I think. That'd give you a round 1,000 gold for this job, a really nice price for a job well done I'd say." The man pulled up a coinpouch he offered Marric's way, full 6 stones heavy (300 gold, 50 coins / lb I believe, usually dont count it, but characters can get a feel of the amount by weight I think).<br/><br/>"I'll wait to hear your opinion on the offer for the gems and all, I dont lie I can sell them for more later, but they did come from my mine so I think its generous I offer this way, no? Besides, I can appreciate a talent."
