It was early evening when we reached town. Entering town was easy now that I have a guild badge. Now, at the adventurer's guild counter, we are trading in our monster cores. That's what those colored pieces of glass were; the guild uses them as proof of slaying monsters.
"So that's five zombie cores, twelve skeleton cores, fifteen goblin cores, and three hobgoblin cores. How would you like that divided?"
"Even split, please."
"Here you are. Thank you!"
I take my share of the rewards, bid the party a good night. I eat a quiet dinner away away from the hubbub.
After the battle, some things had stuck out to me....
Menos seemed to hardly be winded. He was unharmed, likely because he has an agile fighting style that emphasizes avoiding enemy attacks. But to not be winded after that fight, he may be more powerful than he's letting on.
Jord, on the other hand, was a little battered. He seems to be even tougher than he looks, and he looks plenty tough. He also grabs his animal fur before using special barbarian abilities. I might learn more about this if I continue adventuring with them.
I wash myself, complete my prayers, and turn in to sleep.
