    "I think I am ready to get going if you are." Gwen says standing, her head a little woozy but over all not so bad. She picks up her stuff and starts heading towards the door.

    Terlew sees Gwen and remembers the absolute injustice of the night before.

    "You, you, you guys just LEFT me here and then I came out after you and got lostandIgotattackedandhadtomakeaskeletonbutthenIgo tsleepyandhegotawaybecausethepillowsweresosoft and... and..." Terlew suddenly realises what she just said and blushes for a second before trying to get back to her point. "What I MEAN is, you shouldn't have gone to the dragon's den without me! Now I'll never get to know how cool it is because nothing's fun without other people there and... was it cool? How was it? Was there anything interesting?"

    Her mid-sentence topic changes and tiny attention span never ceases to amaze.

    Gordid bursts forth from his room and groans loudly as he stetches out, cracking several joints as obscenely as he can. He goes down the hall to find the others, burping loudly and scratching his rump as he spots them.

    "Ulp... Mornin everyone..." Pasuses as he hears Terlew's rant. "Wasit about dragon dens? If ye been havin fun behind muh back, well... that just aint right. So, we gonna go slay us a ragon then? I'm game"

    Oscar had been enjoying a discussion with Terlew, as the rest of the gang meandered into his room. Of course everyone, please come in...., though he was able to put on a smile, "Ah good morning to you all. It must have been an enjoyable evening, when I retired for the evening I don't believe I heard any of you." Terlew raises the question as to why they would go to the forrest, followed tangentially by the her experience the night prior. Oscar nerves needed a break, with a small gesture to the table he says, "Would you care to join us for some tea? The discussion about the Forrest deserves a nice beverage and relaxed atmosphere."

    Went back and realized it was BOLD dark red.


    Gordid waved a hand to pass on the offer of tea. He never liked tea. had more than enough of it at the monastery. He went out into the hall to not be intruding on Oscar's room. "Ahm headin' down to see which way the forest be then. Maybe ask around 'nout yer thugs too, Terlew." Without waiting for a reply he heads downstairs and begins asking people about the forest as well as any small thug groups that have been active.

    Oscar's nose twitched at the adventurous calls of adventure from some of his traveling companions. When Oscar had suggested a democratic approach to deciding their next destination, he never anticipated that his idea would fail to garner votes. Beasts of burden with that smell, inescapable dust, and an unforgiving sun. Fabulous adventure indeed... A short discussion with Fanter served to alleviate some of Oscar's worries, as the courtesy butler quickly agreed to remain behind. Fanter would finish the suit and would gather some information on the Woods, while Oscar would accompany the others on the caravan.

    With a note of weariness the impeccable Oscar says to the gathered group, "Right to Luskan...When exactly are we departing?"

    Terlew counts on her fingers, mumbling to herself something like this: "Forest... Luskan's a long way... pretty things... nasty men... what to choose!" She nearly yells the last bit in frustration before looking around and realising that the decision's already been made.

    "Oh. Luskan it is then! And you know, Oscar, I always wanted to be a butler when I grew up, so maybe I can fill in for Fanter! Or did I want to be an oxherd, I always get the two confused..." She begins mumbling to herself again, obviously in deep, if irrelevant, thought.

    You make it to the gates of Neverwinter.

    Spirits are high as merchants rally their mercenaries around their caravans. The guards are there, as well, making sure everything is orderly. You can see the group from the night prior as well, with the tall woman barking orders at her small group, who don't seem to share her level of intensity.

    The wealthier merchants seem to already have bodyguards, but some of the more simple merchants are already bartering with the wealthier merchants for the right to travel with their caravans.

    Fimble looks around, trying to spot a merchant without a violent-looking entourage.
    Once spotted, he approaches the merchant with a confident gait and smile.
    "Hello. Erm, down here! Hello. Are you headed for Luskan? If you're in need of protection, then its your lucky day. I am Fimble Scrimnoodle, paladin of Blackwing. Me and my comrades are strong and able, and more than capable of protecting both you and your goods from danger. So what say you?"

    Fimble hopes a direct and confident approach will do, and besides, he can't tell a lie.

    You see a wiry old merchant fussing over a pack mule, tightening loose straps, and checking reigns. Upon your greeting the merchant stiffens and twitches his ears. With the merchants head peering over the pack mule, you can see very little of the merchant except for a red, bulbous poking out under the brim of a large, grey, wide-brimmed hat.

    "Wassat? Mercenaries? Yer' no guild boy, are you."

    The merchant goes back to fussing with the reigns. "Yer either really famous, er really stupid t' be off'rin yer services in broad daylight without th' guild's permission. Either way, what good are ya' t'me?"

    After a firm jerk on another latch, the merchant sighs and pauses for a second. "Who's yer comrades, then? 'Sit that dwarf what's pickin his nose?"

With a huff Oscar gentle places his feathered friend on the ground. He eyes Gordid for a moment before saying, "What do you think? Anyone seem to be a veteran of these affairs?"

    Gordid nods and tilts his head to a man in a helmet who seems to hold himself better than some of the other mercenacries. "He's a field marshall, seems ta know his way with a blade, ye can tell by how he holds hisself. And o'er there," Gorded motions to an imposing Dwarf and a short human both wearing the blue and gold garb of the Adventurer's Guild, "they be lookin' ta be someone of importance. Guild men for sure. Aye might be thinkin' of seein' if they be hirin'." He nods, running a hand over his own beard which is kept in a single scraggly braid. He realizes this and pauses, taking a seat to try and make his beard look more presentable.

    Not really used to bartering, Fimble stumbles on the first sentence.
    "Well, er, there must certainly be... advantages with hiring out of the guild. We don't pay them commission, so naturally we'd be cheaper."
    Fimble then starts the introduction of the crew.
    "Yes, the dwarf is good at many things besides the picking of noses. Especially handy with an axe, and not the wood-chopping kind.

    Myself and the lovely lady with the trident coming this way, are both paladins and more stalwart companions you would have to search far for.

    The well-dressed couple over there are practicers of the arcane, and more than just cantrips I might add!

    Together we form a most formidable fighting force, one that would be well worth your money, should you choose to purchase our unique skill set.

    Oh and the wizard over there also sews."
