Griff awakes early excited for his meeting. He gathers in the common room below where the bar is. “I cannot wait to leave. I have my important meeting with the Open Lord today. If anyone wishes to join you may. Otherwise, I will be off.”

Tyrus joins the others looking for whatever he can find for breakfast and scratching his head in confusion.
"I'll come with ye, Griffdar," he says noting the dragonborn's excitement. "If ye don't mind me talking to any strange horses we meet in the street..."
Then he asks a question of all of them. "Do ye thing that this Mirt might be having a joke at our expense? He didn't say where this magical Maxeene might be found and could be really enjoying the idea of us wandering through the city talking with every horse we come across."

"Good to be hearing that, Arlon," say Tyrus. "I'm not from Waterdeep, so it be good to know he can be trusted not to pull a fast one—just for the laughs."
Tyrus then looks around for something that he can eat for breakfast.

You begin making your way towards the Castle Ward to meet with the Open Lord, however along the way there is a group of people surrounding one of the Drays. "I know, I'm special, thank you. The ride is two silver, leave it in the box on the seat. I'll have an apple if your offering, of course - I love apples!" you all hear coming from one of the drays. As you get closer, you see that it is indeed the horse itself saying it. Unlike the other Drays of the city, this one hasn't got any rider, and seems to be intelligent enough to know what it's doing.
[OOC: For this trip with Griffdar, Tyrus has put back on his normal travelling clothes and his chain shirt. He is carrying his rented suit wrapped up in his blanket for protection, which he hopes to return to the shop it was rented from during the course of the day. The only obvious weapon he is carrying is a dagger.]
Tyrus is also momentarily shocked by the sight of a talking horse. "I'm thinking it must be," he says to Griffdar, "can't be too many of them around, can there?"
Then, putting his bundle under one arm, he fishes out his purse from under his armour and speaking loud enough to be heard by the horse, says, "We be looking for a ride, most noble horse. And we will pay extra."

"I run up and down the High Road on my route - if you would like to join the coach behind," the horse says - attached to it is one of the city Drays, a bus-like cart that carries around fourteen people at one time. "For private hires, these things need to be decided before I am reigned up in the morning," she says.
"Ach! Silly me, I be misunderstanding," says Tyrus, approaching the head of the horse and fishing in his pouch for 2 silvers and the pin Mirt gave him. "I be new to this city, but a Mirtual friend recommended your services to me, which I'm glad he did; It be not every day you get to meet a talking horse, you know."
As he says this, he shows the horse the coins and the Harper's pin in the cup of his hand. "Did you say two or three silvers? And does your route go near Meiroth's Fine Silks? I've got to return this parcel."
[OOC: Tyrus's babbling on like a tourist is an attempt to make contact with the horse in a subtle way while being surrounded by a whole lot of people. If necessary, here is a Deception check: 22.]

Briga seems to be overflowing with questions, but torn, clearly not wanting to interfere with the mission. She smooths out her dress, corrects her posture, and asks without guile, "Yes, a ride would be fantastic... and, Mister or Miss Horse, would it be really offensive if I asked to pet your nose and stroke your mane? Or is that super uncomfortable? I can't tell what the normal boundaries are for this situation. Is it rude if I offer an apple? Or is that condescending?"
"I'll be passing by Scroll Street, but it's only a very short walk from there to the silk shop from there," the horse replies. "Please, it's Maxeene, and I don't mind the mane - the nose is a little weird, and I absolutely adore apples," Maxeene says.
"If you be telling me when we get to Scroll Street, that would be grand, Maxeene," says Tyrus in a normal voice. Then, making sure that the horse has seen the Harper's pin, Tyrus speaks again in a low voice, saying, "Our Mirtual friend wants to know if you have identified any Zhent operatives."

"Ahh, that would make sense," Maxeene responds. "There was a half-elf with the odd tattoo the other day, can't remember exactly where I dropped him off, ride with me - I'll know it when I see it" the horse says to Tyrus. As Arlon is going around, the sorts of things you hear about Mirt are his successes, that he went down to undermountain with Durnan about 350 years ago, and are two of the few to return loaded with treasure. As a result, he put his earnings into investments which has led to success, and most people know that he is one of the Masked Lords, one of the rulers of the city. They also say it's much better to be his friend than his enemy.
Tyrus will climb on board and put his two silver pieces in the cup Maxeene mentioned earlier. He will sit as close to the front of the dray as possible so that he will be able to hear what the horse says.

Arlon will stay at the tavern. He has been silent for a while now and is trying to decide what he needs to tell his master about all this.
Tyrus joins the others looking for whatever he can find for breakfast and scratching his head in confusion.

Arlon shrugs.
" From what we heard about Mirt I don't see him doing that. I wouldn't be good for his image."
"Good to be hearing that, Arlon," say Tyrus. "I'm not from Waterdeep, so it be good to know he can be trusted not to pull a fast one—just for the laughs."

Arlon has stayed at the tavern and once everyone is settled he will go roam the streets to gather more information.
He will go to the taverns and ask around about Mirt. Just too make sure.
