Gonly, the woman grabs your hands and says, "Thank you! Thank you... There are only two castles that I know of in Ten-Towns. One is Caer Dineval and the other is in Caer Konig. The one at Caer Dineval is much more intact so I'm thinking they'll be there." Her bright smile returns brighter than before. "I really do appreciate this." She says before getting up once more to go back behind the counter.
Waylin, Hlin shakes her head at your last question. "All the murders happened within a month, the last one was three days ago. I don't remember exactly when the other ones were but they were different days." She looks at you curiously but understands what you’re trying to do. "I doubt it. But, each of the settlements has its own way of dealing with things so I couldn't give you a direct answer. I would say though that Kaltro's a rather cocky individual from the few times I've seen him, the type to gloat about their kill rather than hide the fact. I bet you goad him enough and he'll admit to it himself."
"Well it be seeming like we be going to be touring the whole of Ten Towns then." Brin says with a nod. he slurps down some more of his ale, then wipes his forearm across his mouth. He turns from Hlin and looks to the rest of those the old dwarf called to this meeting. "Which direction do ye all wish to be heading first?" he asks. "Likely be one direction be good as another, though, mayhaps, we be finding someone around town here who be knowing which direction this merchant be heading last though..." He considers this for a moment, recalling Hlin's words earlier to that subject. "First step then be to find out if anyone here abouts be knowing which way the merchant be going . Second step be to find the merchant. Third step be to get this murderer away from the merchant, so we be able to speak with him alone. Fourth step be to deal with the man as we be seeing fit." He holds up a finger for each of the items as he lists them off. "Be ye all ready to be going?" He down the last of his ale in a huge swallow, then sets the empty pint on the bar. Getting up he looks to the others, waiting for them to be ready.
With a mind set firmly on remembering the names Cora had given him, he replied to Brin, "perhaps the docks first, as there is trade for merchants to engage in already..." He trailed off, distracted by the idea of Castles in this place. Would they be nightmare citadels with impaled bodies for banners? Or would it be a crumbling pile of stones?
Fahana sets her cup of tea down in front of her leans forward and looks Hlin square in the eye "Well then..." she gives a brief pause "I guess the real question is what's it worth to you to have Kaltro... what shall we say... removed from service?" She waits a moment for Hlin's answer and then lifts her cup of tea to her lips and drinks the last of it as she closes her eyes enjoying the warmth.

Fahana, Hlin looks at you and nods. "Was wonderin' when this would come up. A hundred gold pieces are what he's worth to me. You bring him to the authorities, you don't get a single coin." She says without hesitation. "I'll be waitin' here, though if you don't show back up in a month I'll assume you all either gave up or Kaltro got you. Good luck."
Waylin nods, looking to each of his new associates. He takes a second to think before clearing his throat, "The docks sound like a good idea, any one here happen to be from the area? I'm a bit of a fish out of water, per say, and would only serve to get us lost." The thought of a fat purse of coin for a simple job made his heart skip a beat, it had been a long while since he had been around so much coin. He licked his lips subconsciously, his fingers playing with the loose threads of his cloak. He grimaced slightly at the thought of returning to the howling wind awaiting him outside.
She nods her head a bit staring at the empty tea cup with a few leaves at the bottom as she thinks about the offer. Looking up again at Hlin "Each?" she inquires.
Waylin nodded to Fahana, dawning the hood once more, despite what little it offered in the way of protection from the elements. He glanced to Cora, "How much for a bottle of the strong stuff?' He thought that if he was to go out there once more, he might as well enjoy the cold with a stiff drink. He opened up his coin purse by the draw strings, prepared to retrieve his meager coin.
Stomping his fur-lined boots, Brin nodded to the others and, also pulling his thick cloak tight around him, he moved towards the door and the cold that waited beyond. "Off to the docks we be headed then." he comments as he opens the door, letting in a blast of frigid air.
"Any whiskey or strong sprites though?' He winced at the sound of the gusting wind, feeling a cold shiver run up his back, the goose bumps coating his arms once more. He shivered slightly as he finished his question. His lips pursed slightly and his hand trembled, setting a few silver pieces upon the wooden counter.
Cora winces as the cold continues to blow in from the opened door but she does not say anything to Brin and simply winces while talking with Waylin, "L-let me go check." she says to him. After a few seconds behind the counter, she comes out with an extremely dusty flask. The flask is so dusty that you can see a perfect print of her hand on it when she places it on the table. "This is all I have for any liquor, I am really sorry about that. We don't get much of anything up here thanks to the Winter." You see her start grabbing her shoulders to try and keep warm.
Hlin starts yelling from the counter "Ey! If you're all gonna leave then leave! You're gonna freeze up poor Cora's inn!" She looks and sounds mildly annoyed.
Waylin nods and slides a few of silver across, "That'll do and I hope this covers it." He looks to Cora, hoping to get the bottle and go before it cools down too much more. He glances at Brin, holding a singular finger in the air.
As the group starts heading towards the door, Fahana looks back at Hlin "Now which way did you say the docks were?"
"Be seeing ya soon to collect that 'bounty'" she states as she moves through the door and into the brisk wintery air. She pulls her coat up close to her and starts heading in the direction of the docks with the others.

Waylin pockets the bottle, "Welcome." He walks out the door past Brin, "Thanks." He glances around as a drift of snow gusts into his face. Squinting, he looks around the street, before turning his head back to the party. His muddy red skin turns slightly pink in the cold air. His breath condensates with each exhale; instinctively he wraps his cloak tighter around himself. He curses under his breath, mutter about how he should've gone south.
Gonly pulle his robe up around the collarbone to bring it closer to his face, "and we're off..." He nodded to Hlin and Cora before shutting the door behind him.
"Wooooo" He exhaled cool and low, the air outside forming a small cloud in front.

Fahana, the dwarf shakes her head and chuckles a bit. “In total.” Hlin says simply.
A wry smile come across her face "A lady's gotta ask, right?" as she laughs a bit. "Agreed.....at least for my part."
"I agree Waylin, the docks are probably the best place to start... ask a few questions to see if we can figure out where this Torg caravan is."
Fahana proceeds to stand and to gather all her equipment again and wrap herself warmly in her winter coat. "You all ready" she asks.

Gonly tied his long robed closed, ready for another bout of frost, "Ready." He stated evenly, now fully aware of the rewards, and risks, at stake.
Waylin nodded to Fahana, dawning the hood once more, despite what little it offered in the way of protection from the elements. He glanced to Cora, "How much for a bottle of the strong stuff?'

Cora looks at Waylin, “We don’t have ale by the bottle here... I could sell you the whole tankard for two silver though!” She exclaims.
As Brin opens the door, all of you feel and or hear the unwelcoming embrace of the Dale once more. Reminding you of its inhospitality.
"Any whiskey or strong sprites though?' He winced at the sound of the gusting wind, feeling a cold shiver run up his back, the goose bumps coating his arms once more. He shivered slightly as he finished his question. His lips pursed slightly and his hand trembled, setting a few silver pieces upon the wooden counter.
