Morning comes and those who wish to get an early start wake those who imbibed too much the night before or who spent the night in study. Lingo is hung-over and bleary eyed and Balthazar is still a bit tired, having stayed up late learning the details of his new Staff and copying spells into his spellbook. (Note: No in-game penalties, just role-playing fodder.)

Coming downstairs, you quickly consume a hot breakfast, the serving girl still refusing to take your money, and you then split up.

Ryssa heads to The Lionshield Coster to obtain additional arrows and then to Barthen's Provisions to restock her supply of Trail Rations.

Lingo heads directly to the Phandalin Miner's Exchange to retrieve the promised reward from Halia Thornton. He takes the papers you recovered from Iarno with him so hand over.

Bern and Luminmorn head back to the Alderleaf Farm to talk to Qelline and get directions to the town of Thundertree where you hope to find the Druid Reidoth, in addition to the treasure mentioned by the Woodcarver's wife. Perhaps the Druid can help you find Cragmaw Castle?

Balthazar stands on the front porch of the Stonehill Inn and watches as everyone goes in different directions. (Ken - Just let me know if he goes with one of the groups or waits behind and I'll continue the post........)

Lingo

"Stop yelling!" he says to everyone that wishes him a good morning. The halfling chews his breakfast slowly, as if each bite caused him great pain. He is unusually quiet this morning but he's on a mission. Gold always motivates him and now he wanted to get what was rightfully promised.

Once he finishes breakfast he heads over to the Miner's Exchange and greets Halia Thornton "Please whisper" he says.

Balathar

The fresh morning air was a comfort after a long night of copying and work and too little sleep. He took a deep lungful and then smiled at Ryssa as she came out.

"Mind if I join you? I could use a stretch of my legs."

He did his best to suppress his grin when his glance turned in Lingo's direction. Clearly the little guy had enjoyed himself too much last night. He had made that mistake more often than he liked.

He decided to follow Lingo on his trip ... he might need a bit of help ... at least until he had to split off for =his= 'chore' . He grabbed Luminmorn and headed out behind the halfling.

Ryssa


She smiled at the mage and gestured for him to join her.

"Come... and welcome, Balthazar."

After he moves alongside her, she heads for the Lionshield Coster to stock up on arrows and then to Barthan's Provisions.

[OOC: Zeim, let me know if anything interesting happens.]

Bern and Luminmorn with Quelline Alderleaf

The Ranger and Dragonborn head out of the Inn and take a sharp left past the Townmaster's Hall. Heading down the winding path they reach the farm of Quellin and her son Carp. Both mother and son are already in the fields, tending to a small cabbage field.

Quelline looks up at your arrival, smiles, and nods. "Mornin' to you. Tymora's Blessings on you. T'was a wonderful thing you did yesterday, bringing us back Mirna and her kids. Is there somethin' I can do for you?"

Ryssa and Balthazar @ the Lionshield Coster w/Linene Graywind

Ryssa and Balthazar also head out of the Inn and down past the Townmaster's Hall. Stopping at the Coster and entering Liene gives them a once over with a sharp eye. "Heard about you rescuing Mirna. Many thanks. Can I help you?"

Lingo w/Halia Thornton @ the Phandalin Miner's Exchange

Lingo heads out of the Inn, head still pounding and groggy. He heads down the street, past the Townmaster's Hall and the Lionshield Coster. He grimaces as the screeches and cries of the children playing on the Town Green nearby pierce his throbbing head.

Reaching the exchange, he enters to find Mistress Thornton behind the counter. A miner is in front and she is weighing a small sack on a scale. "That looks to be 35 gold worth, Jess. Does that work for you?"

The scruffy miner shrugs. "Ye've always been fair, Mistress. It'll do."

Halia counts out some coins and hands them over and the man turns about and leaves, hardly noticing the small halfling who has gotten into the habit of hiding almost anywhere he goes.

Halia looks up and notices Lingo for the first time. "Huh. Didn't see you come in. What can I do for you?"

(OOC - when you reply please make sure to only reply to those who are in your sub-group)

Ryssa with Balthazar at the Lionshield Coster


"You are most welcome," the cleric said, smiling, left hand instinctively moving to make sure her hair hid the unsightly scar on her left cheek.

"I would like to see your supply of arrows."

Balthazar with Ryssa at the Lionshield Coster

"And I was wondering if you had any ink for sale?" he added beside her, glancing over at her movement.

Luminmorn
Bern and Luminmorn with Quelline Alderleaf

The dragonborn gave a slight bow to the woman and boy. "Your welcome," he answered. "We come inquiring about the druid you mentioned and that town he went off towards, Thundertree I believe it was called."

(with Quelline Alderleaf)

He smiled and waved at at the boy ... Carp if he remembered correctly. Then he offered his mother ... Quelline ... a bow and smile as well. Being quite happy to let Luminmorn do the talking, he remained silent.

Lingo
w/Halia Thornton @ the Phandalin Miner's Exchange


"Hi. We met yesterday, don't you remember? The name's Lingo. I came in with my friends and well, you made us an offer. Remember? Well, Well, I'm back with good news."

Ryssa and Balthazar w/Linene

Linene nods at both requests. Turning to the shelves she points at a small cabinet in one corner. "Ink, parchment, coalsticks, vellum, quills, and other such things are there."

Turning back to Ryssa, she says, "Weapons I keep in the back. Follow me." She turns and opens the door behind her, holding it for Ryssa to follow.

Bern and Luminmorn w/Quelline

The Halfling takes a waterskin from her hip and takes a drink, wiping sweat from her brow, then nods. "Carp, check these rows for stinkbugs, I will be back in a few minutes."

Turning to the Dragonborn and Ranger she gestures. "Come with me. I will show you." She turns and heads for the small house a few dozen yards away.

Lingo w/Halia

"Yes, of course I remember you. I am not daft. Not many armed and armoured halflings stop by here you know. And I recall my offer." She pauses, hands on hips. "So. Good news you say? I presumed the Redbrands did not turn over Mirna and her brood with a smile and handshake, so I was expecting you." She waits for a reply.

She nodded to her companion mage and followed Linene to the back room.

He nodded his thanks to the shopkeeper and gave Ryssa a little smile, then addressed himself to obtaining what he needed.

"Yeah, well, we needed to convince them to let the lady and her kids out." Halfling's eyes flare open as he says the word convince.

"And we figured out that the wizard got his orders from elsewhere. Have you heard of the black spider?"

Ryssa and Balthazar w/Linene

Balthazar looks at the shelves indicated and finds a surprising variety of writing materials for a small, backwoods village like Phandalin. Clearly Linene is thinking ahead, stocking supplies in anticipation of demand. He can see inks both man-made and natural, even some squid ink is available.

Ryssa follows Linene to the back, where she can see orderly rows of swords, bows, polearms, arrows, bolts, and other weapons. "Take your pick." She says, waiting.

Lingo w/Halia

"No." She shakes her head. "I haven't." She pauses. "Did you bring the papers?"

Bern and Luminmorn w/Quelline

Following Quelline into the house she crosses the main room to a bookshelf and after a moment's perusal she pulls out a rolled up parchment. Taking it to the table she unrolls it to reveal a map of the area. "Thundertree is here", she points at a spot on the map. "It's maybe 60 miles as the crow flies, overland. Or you can take the trail back to the High Road, go to Neverwinter, and see if you can buy or rent a boat and take the river. It's all upstream though." She pauses to think. "Probably take you 3 days overland. 4 if you go to Neverwinter and then another on the river. Road travel might be safer, but will be longer."

He studied the map nodding as he listened to her suggestions for the best route. That would ultimately be a group decision, but he was inclined to take the direct route cross country.

"Thank you. A very nice map, by the way."

Lingo
w/Halia Thornton @ the Phandalin Miner's Exchange


"Absolutely! I wouldn't come empty handed. And we turned over the wizard to Sildar, who you've probably heard has stepped in for Harbin. I took special pleasure in doing this work. It was more fun than work. So, back to business. Here you go."

He hands her the paperwork that they found and expects the bounty she promised.

"So what have you heard about this Black Spider person? It seems that he or she is our next step to finding the missing dwarf."

Luminmorn

He studied the map with a careful eye. They would have to recognize the landmarks as they came across them.

He nodded agreeing with his companion's assessment.

Bern and Luminmorn w/Quelline

"Keep it", she says, rolling it up and handing it to Bern. "I have little use for it. Bring it back to me when you're done with it."

Lingo w/Halia

She takes the papers and peers through them, then hands a sack of coins to Lingo. "100gp, as promised."

She shrugs at the halfling's question. "Nothing, as I said. But if this Glasstaff had dealing with him he must have some sort of involvement. It could involve the dwarves."

She pauses a moment, then lowers her voice. "You seem to be a halfling with a purpose." She says. "Someone who wants to become both rich and powerful. Do I judge you rightly?"

He accepted the offered map with a bow. "Thank you. I will be sure to return it when we have completed out mission."

He turned to Luminmorn. "I'm ready. How about you?"

Lingo
w/Halia Thornton @ the Phandalin Miner's Exchange


He takes the bag of coins and weighs it in his hands and for a moment, judging it to be the right weight before slipping it into his backpack.

"Isn't that what everyone wants? It doesn't take a mind reader to figure that out. But yeah. I wanna be as rich as can be and maybe richer. Power is nice because it helps you get richer. So yeah. That's what I'm all about. Why do you ask?"

Ryssa with Balthazar


Ryssa carefully examined the fletching and the balance of the arrows and, after a few minutes evaluation, selected a dozen and put the rest back. Then she looked at the display of daggers, finally selecting one.

"How much will that be, Linene?"
