MARISHA: I’m not used to things turning out good.
MATT: “You’ll do well this side of the Empire.
Anyway. I won’t keep you, but I– we spoke
"yesterday, and I didn’t have much to give you.
Sent you away with nothing but my gratitude. But
"I’ve been asking around the other fishermen,
lochsmen, and we’ve put together a little bit of
"coin for your troubles, so.” And he turns his cap
over on the table, and this catches your
attention, you hear this clattering of coin. Your
eyes glance over, especially you, Nott, and watch
as he leaves this pile of what looks to be mostly
copper and silver pieces, with a couple of
glimmers of gold, and as soon as it clatters
across the hard wood table here in the center of
the tavern, other faces begin to turn, gather
attention as to what’s happening over here in the
back edge, and he takes his cap back and pushes it
forward towards all of you, his dirty, you can see
cracked and very callused fingers shoving it in
your direction, before taking his hat and placing
it back over his head.
LAURA: So cool!
LIAM: Those coins went all over the floor?
MATT: All over the table. “I hope it’s helpful.
But thank you.”
MARISHA: Yeah, yeah. Oh wait.
TRAVIS: We can’t accept this, right? I mean, it’s
too much.
MARISHA: We’re supposed to at least say that,
right? And then still accept it, right?
TRAVIS: I think you’re supposed to do it if you
say it.
LAURA: Well, I mean, he did go around to a bunch
of people. That was a lot of work on his part. I
would hate to make him go back to all of those
people and give it back to each individual
person.
TRAVIS: Fine, fine.
MARISHA: If he didn’t keep a ledger, you know. We
wouldn’t want to do that. It’s rude not to accept
a gift, right? It’s rude not to accept a gift,
right?
MATT: “I would hope that is the case. Anyway.
Thank you very much. I am sorry for getting in
"your way.” And he stands up and gives you all a
nod and rushes out of the tavern, a little
embarrassed by all the attention that’s now placed
on him by the other patrons, and as he leaves,
everyone goes back to their business, a couple of
wandering eyes starting to count what coins are
there as you slowly mitt them in your direction.
LAURA: Divide it up.
MARISHA: Okay, okay.
MATT: There are four gold pieces amongst the pile,
22 silver, and 48 copper pieces.
TRAVIS: Can I clock the room, see who else is
watching her count?
MATT: Perception check. 48 copper.
TRAVIS: Is this the first roll?
MATT: First roll of the campaign.
TRAVIS: Natural 20.
