I look through the loot stash and take a few things.
Okay guys, here's the strategy as I understand it: 1. Cat, take the great sword+1, bow+1 and Half plate, the ring of obscuring would definately come in handy too so you can escape if you have to, then take a horse south and use the convenient chalk you had somehow and mark the rocks for Gundren to read, look for tracks to see if him and his bud have been there recently, they'd have at least gotten back to the main road to look to see if we are coming. 2. I take the Pendant Gem, I could use that. 3. I'll take a look at the Spellsword's Spellbook. 4. We load up the kids and head North, Cat, you'll catch up to us then drive the horses like mad till we're in Neverwinter. 5. We get a bunch of rooms and get the kids settled for the night, then get to the orphanage in the morning and negotiate with them. 6. Make sure we have enough food for the horses 7. We sell everything we can, the goal is 20gp each to level up. I figure we have about 120 gold if we sell all but that Short Sword. I'll take my cut out of the 120-80 for leveling-whatever else we need to negotiate with the orphanage. I'll do that negotiating by the way. 8. We level up with Freya and tell her everything, she's going to know through the orb anyway. 9. We high tail it back down here in the same day, making sure make it here by tomorrow night. 10. We go to Phandalin like we were supposed to by the day after tomorrow, two days late but there.
