Hildigrm watches through the window as the wraiths leave. He looks down at the mark on his arm, then shows it to Bitter-Blossom. "Do you have anything that will get rid of the spiritroot mark?"
Hildigrm watches through the window as the wraiths leave. He looks down at the mark on his arm, then shows it to Bitter-Blossom. "Do you have anything that will get rid of the spiritroot mark?"
Not hearing a response from the next room, Hildigrim pushes through the curtain to the main store. Bitter-Blossom is snoring, underneath her desk. Croody (the blink dog of unusual size) is in front of the desk. While not threatening, the dog does make it clear that you are not to approach her as she slumbers.
(Drusk only has 1 third-level spell slot available, so he can't remove both Jorin's and Hildigrim's mark this night.)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Jorin rests and is briefly startled by the Wraiths, causing his hands to fly towards his weapons and a gob of spit to fly towards the window. When the Bodtian ward works, Jorin smiles broadly saying, "Ah, there we go. I just needed to get a little more practice in."
He uses 1 fighter die for 1 + 3 hp and 1 barbarian die for 7 +3 hp
After the party has finished healing up, you quietly make your way out of the greenhouse and out the front door of the shop. BB is still snoozing under the table, and Croody watches you leave (without barking).
Drusk asks, "To the remaining person Rooster met?" Dawn is about 2 hours away. Enough time to interview Regis, and do a little more digging for evidence, before Calypso expects a report.
After some walking, the party arrives at a tiny shop. The sign reads, "Regis Brightgem's Lightly Used Goods."

Hildigrim needs to knock a few more times, but eventually the door opens a crack. You can see half of a dwarf's face through the opening, enough to see that he is over 4' in height (tall for a dwarf). He looks sleepy, like he just woke up. "Business hours were over in the evening. What brings your group to my door at this time?"
He doesn't open the door any further, but doesn't close it either. From his reaction so far, it seems like he gets visitors at all hours.

"Pardon our intrusion at this hour," Hildigrim says with a slight bow, "but we have been given a deadline. The focus of our inquiry is the recent influx of spirits and zombies in Phlan. We would appreciate a moment of your time."
Regis scratches his head in thought. "Spirits and zombies around Amphail? If you say so. I’ve been around Amphail most of my life but don’t take much notice of weird magic stuff.
"I don’t think I’m your guy for this type of inquiry. I deal with items, not things that don’t understand how to stay dead."

"That snooty bard came sniffing around for a magical harp earlier today. Said he heard I acquired one from a Waterdhavian noble awhile back, some specific piece made from maple and platinum.

Looks a little annoyed. Starting to inch the door close (but it is still open). "What does that have to do with spooks around town?"

Jorin leans in, getting the ambient light to catch the axe head on his hip, hoping the Dwarf will notice the Dwarven style of its etchings.
He smiles warmly at Regis, "We have been chewing the fat with many tonight about the troubles and here we are, now, at your door. I am pleased to come across one of Moradin's own in our meetings tonight."
While Regis eyes the axe for how much it could be sold for, he is not impressed. (Not a blacksmith, so doesn't appreciate the work.)
"And still no explanation for why you are at my door, instead of somewhere else."
(The door is closing, almost shut... If you remember post 2479, he said Rooster "asked too many questions and didn’t seem right, so I told him to hit the road." Pascal then asked about the harp, and the party kept asking more accusing questions... Remember what Marigold said about him in post 2355. )

(Hmm... Hildigrim roll for Persuasion check: 20 )
