Re: Chapter 0: Summons to Bavara
Athaulf, who has been leaning on his hammer and scowling at Satella, turns his frown on the ranger.
"Bad enough to kill a man as he begs for mercy. Now you propose to rob the families of his victims? I will have no part of it. Your duty is clear, however technical you may think it."

Would it not be easier

"My orders were clear, dawnbringer." Faerevar replied, withdrawing a scroll and tossing it up towards Athaulf.
The scroll, in three sections, details several things:
1. The many, awful and gratuitous, details of Jonas' known crimes, which include murder, rape, and robbery, just to name a few.
2. Information about Jonas' capabilities, combat record, and possible associates.
3. A formal declaration of guilt, and sentence of death, to be carried out by the whomever bear's one of these scrolls. Thusly ratified by (and bearing the seals of): The Church of Osirion, the Knight Vindicators, the Knights Shadowbane, and the Kingdom of Orn.
"If it makes you feel any better, he was given a full year to appear before a formal commission and protest the charges. Instead, he added as many as 27 additional counts of murder to record." Faerevar added, before he was interrupted by one of Jonas' rings, which was glowing red. A few seconds passed by before the red light of the ring temporarily expanded to illuminate the corner of the room they were standing in. Shortly thereafter, a chainshirt, a pair of common traveler's clothes, a ratty cloak, and shortsword in a dark steel sheath rushed out from the ring and into the room.
"I was wondering when his Ring of Arming was going to do that."

Re: Chapter 0: Summons to Bavara
Athaulf frowns at the two. "I realize that he was a condemned murderer, and as much as it bothers me, I can't say that killing him was wrong. However, it is our duty to turn over the proceeds from his gear to the families of his victims, not loot it like common outlaws."

Re: Chapter 0: Summons to Bavara
"Common outlaws?" Faerevar said aloud, as though fighting back laughter. "Very well, dawnbringer, I shall spare you from the 'horrors' of pragmatism."
He then reached his around towards his backside (Satella notices, at this point, that his belt must possess some form of dimensional storage), withdrawing a large sack, and tossing it over to Athaulf.
"That was an advance given to me by one of the more fortunate families involved in this matter. While I may disagree with your inclinations, you did stand in between and those axes." He finished, rather seriously.

Athaulf takes the sack and nods seriously. "Thank you. You did a good thing here, bringing this man to justice, I'm glad I could help. I'll help you collect the criminal's magic items, then let us leave this place and return to the inn."

Re: Chapter 0: Summons to Bavara
"Very well, then." Faerevar nods. After which he, Athaulf and Satella proceed to sort through Jonas Orner's body.
Nearly an hour later, after digging through numerous pockets and three magic bags, the trio thinks they may finally sorted and accounted for everything on their quarry's person:
Magic Bastard Sword
Magic Battleaxe, x4
Magic Greataxe
Magic Handaxe, x2
Magic Mace
Magic Shortbow
Magic Shortsword (The one from the Inn that radiated a strong aura of evil)
Additional mundane ammunition and thrown weapons
Magic Breastplate
Magic Chainshirt
Magic Fullplate
Magic Towershield
Magic Amulet, x2
Magic Belt, x3
Magic Boots
Magic Bracers
Magic Cloak, x2
Magic Helm
Magic Ring, x5
Potion of Cure Critical Wounds
Potion of Cure Serious Wounds
Potion of Cure Moderate Wound, x10
Potion of Cure Light Wounds, x5
Potion of Fly, x2
Potion of Invisibility, x3
Wands, x7 (At least one is a Wand of Cure Serious Wounds)
Scrolls, x10
Dozens of other miscellaneous low grade magic and mundane items.
Other: Seals of Offic, 6 (3 belonging to the Knights Shadowbane, 1 to the Crown of Orn, 1 Knights Vindicator, and 1 to Crown of Kiev)
After the final sorting was done, Faerevar slumped back against the wall, looking exhausted. "Well, that looks like everything."

Re: Chapter 0: Summons to Bavara
(Also, looks like I forgot to post the gold.)
Amid the various containers, the trio found some 28,000 in coinage, as well as numerous gems that need to be appraised.

(*Trollface.*
Seriously though, the amount of loot would have made more sense if more of the party had followed. Also, yes, the spell items are command word activated).
"I would think one or two wouldn't hurt. I suspect even without them, there will be enough here to compensate the victims families for generations. Assuming our Paladin friend isn't going to detain you for it." Faerevar responded, looking up towards Athaulf.

Re: Chapter 0: Summons to Bavara
( Drew, given how much your memespeak has improved over past year or two, you've been spending FAR too much time on the internets =P )
Seeing as Faerevar didn't object, Satella doesn't even care for what Athaulf thinks before she takes the following:
--- Ring of Protection +4 [deactivating Ring of the Darkhidden, can't actually use that one well until I get darkvision anyways]
--- Boots of Haste (permanent Haste, CL 10)
--- Knights Shadowbane Seal of Office
