The bulk of tonight's play was taken up with an RP session wherein we used Speak With Dead to question The Scribbler, the spellcaster we killed below Sandpoint.

I've transcribed the questions below for everyone's information.

Additionally, we identified the following items and I've noted their intended dispositions:

Breastplate +1 - sell
Cold Iron Returning Dagger +1 - Anna
Fanged Falchion - destroyed by Dwyn
Headband of Inspired Wisdom +2 - Eldthor (but could potentially be claimed by others if the benefit to them is greater than the benefit to Thor)

It is also worth noting that if the group decides it is a good idea, we can ask 22 additional questions of The Scribbler after 1 week has elapsed, provided that the corpse is still in a condition where it is able to speak. We could use one of the medallions to grant it a Graceful Repose until such a time has elapsed. I don't believe that we have any immediate need to run off to Lake Stormunder.
