Bel thinks this over for a minute, pondering their options. That's when an idea hits her!
"Well now that i think about it, he said that the disappearances and murders were happening in the northern regions of Korromar, and the baron specfically said stay out of this city! Seems to me if we head to Ederay to 'Inquire more' we would still be respecting the wishes of the baron don't you all think? Of course it'd be a good idea to be discreet overall, but i think we can make this work!"
Gary states "Sounds good to me. It would make sense if we stocked up in town before heading off. After all, we don't need to leave until dawn and purchasing supplies for the road could hardly be viewed as suspicious. We shouldn't dally too long, however, as we would have a long journey ahead of us. I'm not overly familiar with this region, do you know how far away the closest town is to the north? If we depart by noon at the latest, I'd like to know how many days we'd be on the road and therefore how much to stock up; I used up the majority of my supplies I've previously had making the journey here."
Bel, that sounds a great idea. There is more to all this than meets the eye. Our good innkeeper would most likely have information about the nearest towns and other information of importance.
Darion nodded along with their statements, thinking some things over. After a bit, he spoke up. "I believe I saw a shop that sells magic items. I will be heading there immediately, if anyone wants to join me." With that, he spun in a flash, and returned to the town.
"I think we have a plan then. We need to find out a bit about the territory. Mjoll you already have some pull with the Inkeep so you might be able to loosen his tongue a bit, or at least learn about the region as you said. Just make sure you don't cause any suspicision. We'll then gather supplies for our journey. I want to see if any wagons are heading out towards Ederay, maybe i convince them to give us a ride, but we shouldn't count on it. Either way we leave tomarrow before dawn."
Bel looks atound after laying out her plan. "Anything I missed, any suggestions?"
Darion spun around on his heel, quickly remembering something he forgot. Returning to the group, he took out a small stone. "For you, m'lady," he said, placing it in Bel's hand. "Since you appear to have taken charge of this operation, I figured you might want some method of communication." And with that, he was gone in a flash, back to the town. Along the way, Bel could hear a voice in her head: "Can you hear me?"
[OOC: Transfer of 1 Sending Stone to Bel. Darion has the other on his person.]
Gary looks around to the group as well, "I think your plan is great, Bel. I can't think of anything else to add to it."
Gary turns towards Mjoll, "Mjoll, do you mind if I accompany you to the inn while you're asking for information? The sooner I can get the info of how long our journey will take, the more time I will have to look for supplies. Plus, while I'm not the best at talking to people, I am decent at reading them. Would be able to tell if the any of the patrons at the inn might be a bit too interested in your conversations and may cause problems for us before we can depart."
Bel examines the stone in her hand, then visibly jumps when she hears Darion's voice in her head. She then smiles in awe at the stone and sends back, "Yeah I can hear you. I seen these before! These stones are really cool! Thanks!"
She then looks back at the others, "Alright then let's get going, we have until next dawn to prepare, we'll meet at the tavern once we get all we need. See ya!"
Bel waves as she runs off back into town. She starts to wander around looking for anyone other than Sigmund is giving rides out of town heading towards Ederay. [Investigation 21]
Bel instantly notices a young fair-haired half-elf waving around and desperately trying to get people on his "taxi". Bel hears him tout about how its only 6 gp and how he can get the trip done in only 3 hours.
Socarin stands on the outskirt of the town watching everyone take off for their separate tasks. As he feels he is prepared enough for anything he feels may be coming ahead and can be of no benefit to the information gathering at the tavern, Socarin runs after Bel to help secure transport to Ederay.
"Hey Bel, wait up." Socarin yells as he runs after Bel. Once he has caught up he states, "With everything that just happened I don't think anybody should be roaming this town alone."
As Mjoll is talking to the innkeeper, Gary casually scans the patrons to see if anyone might be attempting to eavesdrop (and if so, what do they look like, do I remember seeing them before? [Perception 16] Also [Insight 24] for the discussion between Mjoll and the innkeeper to see if he is lying or withholding any information from Mjoll. Just posting this now, but don't respond to the rolls until after Mjoll begins the conversation).
Bel stops running and waits for Socarin, Smiles then says, "Yeah that's probably a good idea. Lets look around a bit, I think there were a couple people who might be able to give us a ride."
After a bit of looking around Bel and Socarin find the 'taxi' and Bel approaches the half-elf. "Hello sir, my name is Bel and i was wondering if you might be able taxi me and my friends to Ederay tomorrow morning?"

Mjoll addresses the Innkeeper. (Persuasion) 11
May I commend you on your Inn, my room and your hospitality. I will most definitely be mentioning your place. Something unforeseen has come up, so I will need to settle my account and depart before dawn tomorrow. Could you kindly give me some information about the places north of here?
Socarin whispers to Bel "Maybe we shouldn't hang around here tonight. Do you feel safe sleeping here? The sooner we get to Ederay the sooner we can enquire about the missing."
"You might be right." Bel wisper's back to Sacorin.
Turning back to the half-elf, "My friends and I still have some business here but once we are finished we shall return, hopefully before the days end! What would be the rate to take 5 individuals? Also I don't believe I caught your name, what should I call you?"
"Oh, I'm William, but you can just call me Will. The rate should be a base of 9 gp, but if we get there later then 3 hours from whence we started, its only 8 gp. If you wanna go now I can get you there in just 3 hours."
"Thank you! I would suggest the Collanie-Reichen-Baum. Its an excellent place with great service, food, and people. Quite hard to find, but pretty well known, so ask people and they will tell you."
"Pleasure to meet you Will. I think an arrangement for 5 will work. We shall gather our friends and come back here once our business is dealt with. We shouldn't be too long."
Bel smiles, gives a slight bow, and begins to walk away with Socarin, "Where to next? I was thinking of grabbing some supplies, maybe even a map of the area, any suggestions?"

Gary, your company will be most welcome. We will ask for further information from the Innkeeper. Then we can garner necessary provisions after.
