Core and Dara have an extremely uneventful night, sleeping in their nice, warm beds. The morning comes and the day is ready to begin.
Frieda, on the other hand, has a very cold night. The desert gets cold at night, especially when the wind comes down off of the mountains. The sun light appears, though the sun cannot yet be seen over the mountains.
Corelief enjoys a nice night in the inn as the last few haven't been so nice. He stretches and heads over to get some breakfast. And again doles out some coins. He isn't in a hurry at the moment and suspects Darastrix be up soon. Not in a big hurry to see if Frieda shows.
As Core and Dara leave the Iron Golem, they get the first view of the Merchant district in full daylight. The area is bustling. hundreds of people of all races are moving about, but there are two distinctions among these people, they are either wearing robes of the finest silk or they are in rags and chains. There is no in between here.
Seems to be one and the same. If you want a solution, you might have allies in that. If you want to solve it though, you'll have to go in the city and play nice for a minute. He then hands you a note and rides off.
Frieda eyes the retreating figure for a moment before opening the note with some trepidation. Subterfuge and making nice were not exactly in the diminutive Elf's wheelhouse. She tended to say what she thought with very little filter.
Corelief replies back, Perhaps so cold weather gear. It might be cold in the mountain. Otherwise just walk a bit and then head back to the Inn to see if Frieda has checked in or not before we leave for the mountain.
Fuck! Frieda exclaims as she stuffs the note into a pouch. Well, Soap, looks like we're going back to town. She gets the horse packed up and heads back to the stable.
I'd say good, sturdy winter gear for each of the two of you is about 1 gp a piece.
While shopping around, you notice a large tent, that stands out among the rest of the area. It's the only cover area that isn't an actual building and seems to attract a lot of really wealthy individuals.
