Que sees that nothing very interesting is going on downstairs and that Herod is not there (she meant to apologize to him), and goes back upstairs. Everyone assumes she goes to bed, because her door is closed until the next morning. The assumption is probably right.
However, on your way back you spot signs of wolf prints in the muddy river bank. The prints are much larger than a normal wolf's and you remember hearing somewhere that Dire Wolf pelts sell for a premium in the Saphire Isles.
You think that you could probably either sell this information to the trackers in Berda or perhaps even hunt the wolves yourself with the party.
OOC:
Where can Herod find some hunters that might be interested in hunting dire wolves?
Woah. Easy their sparky. The going rate for a tip is 10%. Dire wolf pelts are pretty. They go for about 500 gold per pelt. That's 50 gold per pelt for you. Also they usually travel in small packs, somewhere between 3-5 beasts. You're looking at 150-250 gold for information. That's pretty good, no?
I think 10% is fair. We still have to track them down and kill them. You could do it yourself if you like. But be warned, they're pretty nasty and even if do kill them you have to skin them without ruining the pelt. It's up to you. What do you want to do?
He then heads to his room and ponders on the teachings of his monastery, and how he has begun sliding away from those teachings. After some time, he begins feeling depressed, so he headed downstairs, he asks for a cheap bottle of hard liquor, and retreats into the recesses of his bottle as he heads back into his room.
You wake up fresh from a good night's sleep. The dawn greets you and you rub the soreness out of your battle weary limbs and manage to get them back into working order.
You recall two things. First that you have a commission to stop a raiding band of young orcs before they reach the farms to the north. Also, you managed to stop the creatures who were stealing the famer's sheep. You believe there was some sort of reward offered but you never discussed the terms.
I have not, but unless we have someone specific we should contact, I think we should go in the direction and speak with people on the way. Herod seeks out the others, Que and Harbek.
You recall that the sergeant at arms Ms. Bella Fraught, is your employer and she can probably be found at The Western Trading Company Office, the largest building in Berda Trading Post.
