DM: So you can each add one astral diamond to your character sheets. They can be exchanged, or used as currency in the kind of magic item stores you shop at now. Oh, and M’s left the chat.
Tati (playing Seraph): She just got her loot and ditched!
DM: Does anyone have any roleplaying they want to do with NPCs while we wait for her to reconnect?
Tati: Yes, actually. I turn to Telchal and hesitate, and I pull out of my pack the crown I took from the vampire’s castle right back when I started journeying with TTC. And I say, “I’ve really enjoyed adventuring with you, and I’d like you to have this. I took it from an ancient vampire lord's hoard. It’s my most treasured possession.” And I offer it to him.
DM: His hands twitch and he gets a glint in his eyes that you’d only see on a professional thief, and a dwarf at that. Then he glances at Glatur, who gives a slight nod. He takes it and examines the gold detailing and real rubies. He beams and says, “You are a great friend, Seraph! I will buy you a drink when we get back! Several drinks!”
Adam (playing Billie): I caution, "Not too many!"
DM: He wraps it very carefully in a piece of jeweler's velvet and ties it with a red ribbon, and places it very carefully in his bag. Then he stands next to Seraph with a massive smile.
Tati: That actually was Seraph's most treasured possession. Her first TTC quest souvenir.
DM: Aww. You didn’t need to go that hard.
Tati: I wanted to be sure.
M (playing Kjell): I'm back, what did I miss?
Tati: I made a new friend!
M: Cute.
