She thought she saw Eve doing something and decided to do a quick check Investigation check on Eve: 16
"hhhmmm..... interesting, very very interesting, I still got it" she showed a faint smile
"So we just go around praying that, well that thing works and that we just so happen to find any, and just pray that they actually get interested in a gnome, 2 discount demons, a rock and a tall dude? We should at least get any resemblesse of a plan. Is any of you good at asking informations of sightings of those crickets with peopl..." she looks at Maudath " Well i think that´s not gonna be a problem"
Eve let’s out a short laugh that sounds like a snort, when Ryhunis says that. And immediately claps both hands over her mouth. But continues to chuckle to herself, whilst trying not to! “I like this one! Ahah!...”.
“Well we could head out after these other leads, searching as we go... And ask about these ‘Grumpkins’ when we run into people to ask about them“.
Maudath looks over at Ryhunis and starts to chuckle. The sounds starts deep down in his stomach and then escapes his lips, echoing around the salon.
"I'm not sure I catch half of what you're saying, Ryhunis," Maudath says, "but I think I get the gist of it."
He takes a step towards the front door.
"From what the Professor has said, these wee creatures sound like curious sorts. I think if we bring you within a league of one of them they'll find us," he says. "Now, anyone want to come up to the Northlook with me? The bartender there can probably put us in touch with the dwarves that lost the ingots and we can head that way first. With any luck it's on the way to Bremen."
"I will go with you big guy, with some luck those dwarfs have some ingots with a better color then this filthy weak gray" she said while returning to the golem "And with some luck we can take a bit of aahh... personal prize and blame it on the bandits" She then thought about her empire " Can i actually change my path? I don´t even know how to be good, nor do I enjoy it, Seras what should I do?"
((if i ever say any name that you don´t recognize, worry not it just means it came from her past life and if the chance appears explain some of it))
Iris raises her eyebrows at the phrase "discount demons." She's heard some interesting names before but that's certainly a new one. She slips on her gloves and fastens her grey, fur-lined cloak back around her neck, then as an afterthought, wraps one of the pastries up in a handkerchief and sticking it in her pocket. "Even if we aren't able to find these creatures, at least meeting up will give us the chance to get some good work done,"she comments as they prepare to leave."I certainly couldn't have handled the issues in Bremen by myself, and I'm glad you told us about the dwarves, Maudath, because I would not have been pleased if you went at that alone, either."
Once Eve is dressed for the outside again, she heads out into the cold, towards The Northlook. After getting a few paces from the house, she turns and walks backwards so she can see the others as they emerge.
She finds that she enjoys walking backwards more than she thought she would, and, after a couple of steps, changes to alternating hopping and jumping, like she’s doing a backwards hopscotch or something.
As you all prepare to head out into the cold evening air, the time is about 4 PM. The bit of twilight that was there when you headed to the Professor's has passed. The wind is blustery and biting. Are you all headed to the Northlook?
The Professor bundles up, stomping his feet into heavy boots and pulling a furry jacket around himself before grabbing his satchel and stuffing a few things in it and joining the others to head to the Northlook.

Ryhunis gets closer to the professor "While you left me there forgotten, I had an idea, it might help on this mission or just about anything. As you know my soul is trapped within this golem and it´s impossible to permanently leave, but what if it was possible to temporarly leave to other objects without souls, since besides very specific cases it´s not possible to have 2 souls on the same body, trust me i tried, more then enough times. But if that was possible for me to temporarly leave the golem that could be incredible and would allow me to be able to see and hear other places, and with some immense luck even kinda control them, like i control this golem, and it would allow you to advance your research imensely since without me on the golem you could more easily research it without my interference. Just an idea that I give you, think about it" And stepped away from him while going to the door leaving the house "Maybe he can help me return to my original body, even if he doesn´t realize it, i can´t living in this golem, i just can´t, and with Magistratus beeing asleep in some sealed tomb, i can´t exactly go and ask for his help, even though he would if given the chance"
Maudath joins the others and starts heading for the Northlook.
He looks around at the group and starts to laugh to himself.
"Old Scramsax gets his share of the unusual at the Northlook," Maudath says, "but I think even he's going to be a bit perplexed by this crew."
He stops and looks at the group.
"Word of caution," Maudath begins. "The Northlook isn't for everyone. It's been a taste of home for me, but it's seen better days and you're likely to get in a fight if you look at someone wrong, which can be quite fun but might slow us down."
"Well then that is why I am asking you and not some random idiot, obviusly it would only be used when we are both 100% sure that there are no side effects like that, you are a smart man, in this time, if anyone can figure out something like that, it´s you, I trust you can do this" she said while looking at her hand "he can do it" "My eyes can´t exactly move so looking at someone wrong isn´t going to be a problem but i better not say a single word, after I a few words all of you were ready to kill me and you look like chill people, exept Eve, she looks the contrary of chill, in the good way, and in both senses"
Things you would all know about the Northlook, except for you Ryhunis you've never been there.
The Northlook is the establishment most frequented by mercenaries and adventurers, and as such it’s the rowdiest and most dangerous place to stay in Bryn Shander. At the same time, its taproom is the best spot in all of Ten-Towns to get leads on profitable ventures, along with the latest news and rumors.
The inn’s proprietor, a retired sellsword named Scramsax.
"Well, yes, certainly. Just making sure you're aware of possible complications, but I'd be delighted to explore the possibility."
When they arrive at the Northlook, the Professor hurries in, stomping the snow and slush from his boots as he looks around the place for an empty table.

The Northlook is a modest sized tavern. There are two large large fireplaces that keep the place moderately warm. It is loud and people seem to be having a good time despite the bitter cold out. You all manage to find a table towards the left side of the room with space enough for Ryhunis. You get many odd looks moving thru the room with a golem in tow.
Eve follows the professor into the tavern, looking around and smiling at the sights and sounds and hubbub of the place. She walks proudly alongside the professor, pleased to be associated with this local celebrity. She has a face on her that says ‘Yep, that’s right! I’m with the professor!’.
Once they get to the table, she picks a seat and hangs her furs on the back. She also pulls her boots off too and pushes them under her chair. Then she says to the group “I’ll be back in a second! Order me a drink please, if they come over...”.
Eve weaves through the tavern between the adventurers towards the nearest fireplace. And sits barefooted and cross legged in front of the roaring flames. She sits maybe too close for most people to the heat, but enjoys the feeling of her skin, warming her hands.
She looks into the embers for a while, and watches the flames flicker there. She looks back over her shoulder briefly to make sure everyone is occupied with the general hubbub of the tavern.
Then she whispers in to the flames, to her imaginary friend, “Ipkiss... ... psst... ...Ipkiss?.... ... if you’re there let me know..... I haven’t seen you in a little while... I miss you!...... .... I might be heading out of town for a while.... I hope you’ll still be able to find me?.... ....We’re looking for fairies or spirits or something.... .. I don’t know if youre there..... ... ...I love you........”.
She waits a little while to see if her little imp friend responds, or if there’s any sign... Sometimes in public he’ll appear as a rat or a raven or something. Sometimes she goes weeks without seeing him.
Her face falls sad, and she’s about to turn back to the party. She waits a few seconds more... ...

As Maudath moves towards the door, and towards Eve, she jumps forward with a big grin and says, “Sounds like a plan!”.
She gives him another high five (which is probably quite a low five for him, actually), and starts getting back into her outdoor boots and coat.
