Chapter Three: On the Road

"Take him and get him to bed," Frume says to one of the men standing outside the door, "He's in no state for this right now."

So long as Mryio doesn't resist, Frume continues, "So, what do you all think of what I'm proposing here?"

"The primary mission is to find out where the goods are being shipped to. Any other information gathering is good, so long as it won't jeopardize the mission," Frume explains.

Leosin is strangely quiet, looking from the pouch of gold to where Mryio left. He sighs and shakes his head, clearly worried about the strange paladin.

"Yes, I think that will be for the best," Frume says, then turns to Leosin, "Are you headed back to give your report?"

Leosin nods, "Yes, I am long overdue already. I'll be leaving in the morning, unless you mind my staying here?"

Frume smiles, shakes his head, and claps Leosin on the back, "Stay as long as you want, my friend."

The following morning you all wake up in private rooms at the inn. Mryio barely remembers passing out just outside the meeting room and being carried to bed. His sack of gold sits on top of a dresser off to the side of the room. You all find a note slipped under your door that the caravan will leave the next morning and to make the most of your last day in town before the two month trip to Waterdeep.

Mryio exits his room and finds that Frume is sitting at a desk in the same room as the previous night. From the bags under his eyes, it appears that he hasn't yet slept, "Ah, Mryio, feeling better this morning?"

Frume sets down the quill he's been writing with and runs his hand down his face, "Not to worry, ale will do that to a man. Seen it a thousand times before," he says, and then pushes the gold back, "The gold is from Leosin, and he'd want you to keep it. As for this Talis, we will get the word out and see what we can find on her. Any info you can give me would be of great help in finding her."
