Late to the party, Izuhn comes running up to the group. "Phew, nothing like the cold air to keep you fresh. Sorry for the delay, just checking our cargo. Where's the captain got off to?" Izuhn actually takes a moment to listen and gets a vital piece of information. "A tavern you say?"

Lost in her mind thinking of her name and past being brought up, the appearance of Izuhn snaps her out of it, "Tavern! Yes its just right up there." She points up the ramps to the cliff edge. "It over looks the water. Lets go dearies."

Adaia introduces herself to Izuhn. "I'm Adaia, we haven't met properly - I'm not much for sea faring"
"I hope they have a good ale, I swear the water was starting to go green on board. Let's be off

Once the business is finished, Momma takes everyone to the tavern for drinks and a bit rest. Despite Agna's uninterested response to her attempt to find someone to travel with, Adaia quickly notices Izuhn joining them on their way to the tavern. She is not familiar to the region... tagging along with the unfriendly orc could work, but maybe the dwarf would be more approachable to the lone elf.

Approaching the door, "Here we are. The Drunken Dwarf! The livingliest tavern this far North." Momma barrels through the door letting in the cold as she holds it for the other. Silence and murmuring happen as everyone looks to see who dares hold the door open this long, then roars of laughter erupt and conversations resumes as patrons see it's Momma. She walks up to the Bartender, "Hey Joe! Give my new friends here anything they want on me." She slides some coins to the bartender. "If that doesn't cover it just let me know next time I'm in here. You wouldn't know if a certain Dwarf merchant frequents here do you? Agna here is looking for him. What was his name again Dearie? I heard some rumors of an unusal busy bank if that helps."

Izuhn inclines his head slightly towards Adaia. "Well met miss. Have you seen the captain?" Awaiting her response, Izuhn makes his way into the tavern after the colorful character leading them and calls for a mug of something that will warm him up. It's been too long since he's been to the Dale, after all.
Once things have settled in, Izuhn finds a more discrete moment to whisper something to Agna. "Part of town is burning, as you no doubt have noticed. I saw what think are some sort of fire creatures running amok over there. Better to do something than to let then come on us unaware eh?"

"Yes, the captain is off meeting with the leader, of some sort, of the town. I'm not sure how long"
Adaia, will order a dark beer and see what the group is doing but will try to keep an ear out for the locals chatter, specifically anything about the recent attack.

"Aye," the orc grunts in agreement to Izuhn. "Though them local folk don't look any sort of bothered about it."
"Beorne. Anyone by the name here?" Agna continues after the local woman's prompt.

Generally, I will assume you "fail" unless you roll, so roll when you want to drive the narrative in a different direction. For example, I picked on Mnrtoler's cue that all is fine... With this roll, Adaia notices someone or something which might prove otherwise.With Mnrtoler's fail... this isn't the dwarf you're looking for :D

As Agna mentions the name of the dwarf, a gray-eyed dwarf with long mahogany dreadlocks turns around to look at the orc. The other dwarves on the table Joe pointed out turn, following the first. "One of em orcs looking fer Beorne Steelstrike?" she stops, measuring up Agna for a moment. "Aye! Ye must be em Moss guide" she smiles gesturing Joe for another round.
Meanwhile, while everyone else is distracted with the dwarves, Adaia's attention drifts to the other patrons.

"Izuhn, what brings you to Icewind Dale. I'm hoping to travel to a larger town, continue my research, but it would be a long trek by myself."
I'd also like to approach the table discussing the blacksmith. "Hello, how are you all doing after the attacks, would you mind if I asked a few questions?"

depending on their mood, this might require some persuasion/charm Rolls

You guys feel free to do that even if it's a place your character is not familiar with :D That's a fail from Adaia but a double 6! That's higher that your level so you level up persuasion 🎉 Basically, she did not persuade them but she learned something significant about the people in the Far North.
Add +1 Fatigue and +1 to Persuation. It should update if you change it on your character sheet below the posting area :D
[ +- ] Note on fails
I am finding the Fatigue system is way less deadly than it was and, checking the fail options, I'll default to Push hard.
That said, failing will give you some extra control over the narrative, since you can propose alternatives if you can find one:
* Other players can join and describe how they help
* You can sacrifice an item, including armour to avoid increasing your fatigue.
* For specific cases you might be able to come up with a good twist, in which case you will also be awarded one experience (+1 bonus on a roll)

They don't seem like the friendliest sort, but maybe Adaia can still learn something from of them...

Seeing one of her new charges getting disrespected, Momma will swoop in, Now boys I know you know how to treat a lady better than that. She is kind enough to be asking about your wellbeing why don't you return the favor and quell her curiosity.

Quick clarification, Agna is talking with dwarf merchants, Adaia and momma are at a different table that Im assuming she knows about because of a note and it included something about a blacksmith?
