Spoils of the Dragon-Banner Band

After the skirmish at the ruined manor under the dragon banner, the party searches the bodies and the boss lady's private chest. Two soldiers went down with battle-worn gear and a handful of coins. The gnoll carried trophies and a small pouch of trade gems stolen from caravans. The boss lady kept her signet and a slice of draconic hide as proof of favor from a local wyrm-aligned patron; she also had a modest collection of trade gems and potions. Among the spoils the party recovers common coin, three marketable gemstones, two useful low-level potions, a magical +1 shortsword appropriate for the party's level, soldier-grade armor ready for repairs, a signet ring of local value, a rare dragon-scale fragment useful to a crafter or collector, and a gnoll necklace more useful as a clue than as high-value treasure. The haul suits a level 3 party: immediate funds and consumables for the next stretch of travel, one uncommon magic weapon to boost frontline capability, and material and clues that lead toward further dragon-related hooks.
