Greetings, brother! I have been sent to the area on a mission to find someone going by the name of Windharrow. Kaylessa at the Swinging Sword told me she believed he came through this town. Have you and work on this person? Or someone named Aerisi Kalinoth? Windharrow would be a minstrel of sorts, if our intel is accurate. As he speaks, Walter pulls out his book and sets it down on the floor where he sits next to it, ready to record any information the man may have.

Balak and Dazzle

Feng seems move to orcish tears (I.e., berzerker rage) by the glory of goblin skull smashing, but less concerned with Pell's fate, though perchance it is the overwhelming rage.

He agrees to 25% off regular prices.

Sorgrimm

He is unable to provide any information about Lance Rock other than an odd local legend that maybe a dragon dropped it on a rival eons ago.

As to the Medusa (it was a vision, Sorgrimm would know this much) named Marlos, he knows nothing.

Grumbles to himself, What good is it to the Order to be stationed out in the field if you cant keep yourself abreast of the surrounding region.

Looking back to Imdarr, Sorgrimm smiles and politely says:

Master Imdarr, I thank you for your service to the Order and for your time. I look forward to meeting again.

Sorgrimm turns, rolls his eyes and walks out in a bit of a huff on his way back to the tavern to meet the others. Whether Xella follows at this time is of little matter to Sorgrimm as this encounter has put him in a foul mood.

Walter

He is unable to tell you anything specific other than what you learned from the innkeeper. You get the impression that his contacts have not assumed that they left the valley, but where they disappeared to is a mystery.

I seek out the high priest at the temple. I have something to ask about the happenings in town. If anybody would know, I suspect it would be you.

Be safe friend, Walter says as he exits the shop. He heads back down to the Swinging Sword and sits at a table, reading and writing in his book until the rest of the group returns.

Alyx

Passing a grumpy Sorgrimm and an unreasonably chipper Xella on the way to the AllFaiths Shrine, Alyx finds inside the two priests, previously described.
[ +- ] Allfaiths Shrine
Imdarr seems to be lost in reverie, while Lymmura comes out and greets you with a notional blessing of Sune.

"Looks like you could use some ale, Sorgrimm. Come on, then."

Face still down in his book, he says Kaylessa, dear. Do you have any fruit juice? I'm quite parched. And please do not try to give me wine again, I detest the stuff. Or ale. He looks up to the woman and winks.

Balak asks, how much does this shield cost?, pointing to the shield that Dazzle and the shopkeep spoke about.

Before the half-orc can answer, Dazzle casts a glance at Feng, using his eyes to implore him to be delicate with Balak.

Balak and Dazzle

Feng holds forth a rounded shield with a solid bronze knob in the center. He demonstrates the strength of the the forearm strap and handgrip. Small ties adorn the inside just behind the straps, where light javelins can be quick tied individually.

"This shield I took on trade from a northman. He found a magical shield and was still loathe to part with his friend who had so long protected him. Seven gold, 4 silver."

Walter

Slightly amused, Kaylessa brings Walter a mug of apple cider. She plops down in an opposite chair. "Whatcha reading?"
Feb 8, 2018 5:43 pm
Thank you, kind sir. Can I please put a down-payment of 4 gold on this fine piece of equipment, as I have a limited amount of gold at this time?

Persuasion (attempting to persuade the half-orc to give me the better deal) - (1d20+4)

(8) + 4 = 12

Balak and Dazzle

Feng snarls and snatches the shield back. He pets it lightly, saying, "There, there, poor dear. Someone will see your worth." He shoes you out of his store if you are not seriously interested in his quality wares.

"For four gold, you can have this one. I haven't started fixing it yet." He holds up a small shield with a huge chip out of it. It does not hold javelins. You are not certain how many more blows it will take before utterly collapsing.

Lymmura you said? My name is Alyx and I am an adventurer. I was informed their are some strange happenings going on. What can you tell me about them? I ask, briskly but politely.
Feb 8, 2018 6:09 pm
Dazzle has to rend his baleful glare from the back of Balak’s head, but he manages to fix a pleasant smile on Feng.

As it happens, I can scrape together another three gold pieces, if that’s what it will take. You’ll remember, Feng, that I explained in exacting detail that only the best will do for my dear friend here.

Alyx

Lymmura tells you, in great detail, the romantic weddings that she has officiated over in the past decades, as she has been coming here for a long time. The extent of her interpretation of strange involve cakes not setting, or side-eyed glances between wedding guests, and less about the growing criminal activities.

From her stories, she implies that many locals trust her and come for guidance, but in regards to matters of security.
