Scene 2 - The Averndale Adventurers' Guild

The party splits, and Sadur prepares to leave the relative protection of the city walls. The Guard there shows some concern, but they do not dare stand in his way.

The new clothing is much more in line with the local styles and helps you blend in more easily with the locals, at least the friendly ones.

Sadur

Spending the day on the road you are treated to warm weather you arrive in the early evening, with some time before sundown. Coming over a wooded hillside, the Half-orc sees the fields of the farming homestead. Moisture hangs in the air from the thicker tree up the ridgeline but was otherwise clear. Sadur sees there are three houses with central orchard and a large barn. There is a group of men out between the apple trees and you also see some children by the closest house.

Jasper

After shopping Jasper finds the city peaceful in the areas around the specialty shops and guildhalls. You have no trouble avoiding unwanted areas like the older residential areas where once a young family was abandoned. Helen might still be a seamstress, but Jasper does not cross her path. He does pass children in the street but none so young. Jasper meets a few people in the Guild, mostly apprentices who are only in the city to train, hoping to leave as soon as they have their credentials and a good letter of recommendation. You are able to find the components easily enough - consisting of charcoal, incense, and herbs - and after acquiring a brazier you are set for your ritual.

Leon

Spending some time at the temple, the Matron approves you to work along see an acolyte working in a ward for minor illness and injury. You to several patients with wounds that need attention to avoid infection. Several men are there for injuries sustained in a mining accident. The Temple takes pride in keeping the common people in care. You notice outside there is a garden where children sit around the Matron who seems to be answering their questions, and you may learn she teaches the local youths several days a week.

Back at the Hearth, some Hunters have come in for Market day with furs and meat. They were out for several weeks. They did not have much luck in the Eastern lands but picked up a large migration of elk moving along a river in the South, out of the valley. They separated a large group and picked them off. Many fine antlers.

The Boy has a job you could do tonight. There is a bare-knuckle boxing match that needs someone standing by. The establishment is offering 5gp for ‘Services and Discretion’ for a few hours of work. He says it's a good way to "get known".

The Boy catches the coin in his right hand, and winks to the Physicker. "Someone will come tonight, be around here at dark."
