There was no notable loot from this encounter. The skeletons were left alone, the goblin had a crudely fashioned dagger, and somewhat ruined leather, and the boar was cooked and eaten as food. The PCs did receive 22 gold each, as well as a mount. Hitsugaya will receive a mount, but the gold is probably out.

The party had a fairly eventful few days. They were awakened early by sheriff Hemlock to look into a disturbance at the graveyard. When they arrived, they found that the tomb of the former head priest, Ezakien Tobyn, had been broken into, and in his tomb were two skeletons, created by a now used up robe of bones. After the skeletons were defeated, one crushed into dust by Tanaka's mighty blow, the party saw that the sarcophagus was open and the remains were missing. Sheriff Hemlock confirmed that the party's suspicions about the tracks they had noticed near te entrance tallied with what he'd found, wood from a broken ladder, and they agreed, that 6 or so goblins and a normally sized humanoid had taken Tobyn's body using the raid as cover Why they had done this though, no one was sure. Sheriff Hemlock asked that the party keep an eye out for the next few days, but not talk to anyone about what had happened.
The Party then visited the town's alchemist, Nisk Tander, who identified the other potion as a Cure moderate wounds. After that, the PCs went back to the Rusty Dragon, where Aldern Foxglove invited them on a boar hunt. He provided each PC present with 20 gold, and purchased each a mount from Goblincrush Stables. The party then traveled east with Aldern and his two man-servants to the Tickwood forest, and succeed in easily killing a boar. Aldern was happy to share stories with the party, and did his best to learn a bit more about the group, particularly Cecilia. On their return, the party decided to split up briefly, with Tanaka going and purchasing weapons from Savah, while Malykh and Cecilia went to the theatre. While there they met with (Name), the head of the Sandpoint Mercantile League, and ased a few questions. They didn't learn as much as they had hoped, principally gathering that wood was the thing most likely to have been transported within the city without much inspection. They were then offered the opportunity to perform in the play the theatre was putting on that night. Cecilia opted to stay behind the scenes, but Malykh acted as a narrator while Tanaka provided some slapstick humor. Malykh's ability to perform dramatic readings was particularly impressive to some in the audience. Everyone then returned to the Rusty Dragon for the night.
The next morning was another early one for the group, when they were awoken by a distraught woman, seeking their help with a goblin issue, as the sheriff was off investigating the festival. She lead them back to her house, after telling them that their boy had been having what they thought were nightmares of a goblin living in his closet, until they came in to his screams to find a goblin having killed their dog and chewing on the boy's arm. When they investigated, they found the woman's husband dead, having tried to get at the goblin only to be killed, and partially eaten by the goblin. After easily dispatching the goblin, Malykh and Tanaka worked to wrap up the body, while Cecilia informed the now widowed woman in what can only have been described as a "Zordlon talking to a denizen of the slums-esque" bit of diplomacy what had happened. Luckily, Sheriff Hemlock showed up soon after, and checked to see what had happened, thanked the party again, and made arrangements for the family.
In the afternoon Shalelu Andosana, an elven ranger, and unofficial member of the town guard arrived in town, much earlier than whe normally would have. This caused a bit of a stir, raising local concern, as they were unused to seeing her more than abount once a season. Sheriff Hemlock sought out the group again and introduced them to both the mayor and the ranger. She told them that the goblin tribes seemed to have united and mostly stopped their petty inter and intra-tribal squabbles and could pose a much more serious threat than the had in anyone's memory. Sheriff Hemlock set out to Magnimar to try and get some more guardsmen, leaving the party as unofficial members and sort of leaders of the town watch until his return. Shalelu had dinner with the group at the Rusty Dragon, and filled them in more about the goblin tribes in the area. She left to do a patrol o the town before the final piece of excitement for the day came.
Lonjiku Kaijitsu entered the Inn, looking for his daughter. He berated the PC's accusing them of being troublemakers and of getting in the way of the town guard and the Sheriff. After a brief exchange, Ameiko came out from the kitchen, and the two argued in Minkaian. When her father attempted to drag her out of the Inn, Ameiko dodged, and hit him with the ladle of soup she had been cooking. Lonjiku left after that, telling Ameiko she was "As dead to me as your mother." While Ameiko was clearly upset by this, she recovered a bit after picking up the ladle and commenting that she would need a clean one, as "Jackass stew" was not on the menu for the evening.
The session ended at that point, where the party would eventually retire to their rooms.
