Hilmar joins the others at Greyhorn Outfitters. Like Alfrey he buys a length of rope - he used most of his for tying up the bandits. He also buys two throwing knives, a steel mirror, a signal whistle, a scroll case, ten sheets of paper, charcoal, two sacks and a thin scabbard for his wand.On the way from the outfitters to the inn, looking round at the village, he says, "I assumed the town of Hope would be bigger than this."
At Amanda's question, he notices Alfrey's sidelong glance. "We managed to sneak up on them and we had them outnumbered. Knowing what we know now, they weren't the hardest of adversaries. I think they were rather out of their depth to be honest. We came to Hope when we heard reports of messengers from your town seeking warriors and mages."
He is delighted when the lunch of baked hare with garlic and crowberry tart with a glass of apple cider arrives and tucks in with gusto. He has a surpisingly large appetite for someone on the thin side. He nods in agreement at Alfrey's comments as to the advantages. "It also seems - on the face of it - more attractive than just 60gp between us. But I'd like to see if first. Hopefully it's not in such a bad state of repair making it uninhabitable. I'd also like to make sure it doesn't come with strings attached, like having to pay high taxes and so on, which might make it not so viable. We also need to check if it's close to the town. Whether or not we agree to help the sheriff and her people against the bandits, we have made an enemy today. Word will get back to Ralavaz about what we've done. If we were all in a house in the middle of nowhere we could be easy targets for the Night Blades." He takes another mouthful of his baked hare with garlic. "Which leads on to whether we decide to help the sheriff. As far as I can see, 'the die is cast'. We've already crossed the Night Blades and we may as well follow through now. The sheriff also told us that they could reward us with some of their magic treasures from Imperial days."
