"I haven't find a good place yet, but I guess it will have to wait until the dragon is taken care of." replies Krom. "Chip! Sing something to cheer up the spirit".
Krom will stay in the inn unless the party leaves for some evening/night errands.
If nothing happens during the night Krom after taking a long rest will enchant his warhammer using the Blessing of the Forge.
Kazri thanks Toblen for his information. "So it seems that we should escort this acolyte from her home to the town? It seems a decent quest to pursue my friends." Kazri waits for the Bard's performance, before retiring.

(OOC: I was going to have Chip buy a couple things in the morning but he is staying in the inn tonight)
As the crowd begins to form, Chip would move up to the small stage and sling his pack into the corner. The hulking dragonborn would pull out his pan flute from his belt and play a few notes with his back to the crowd.. quietly whispering to himself. "OK.. don't screw up.. you got this.. "The Brass scaled dragonborn would appear to glow as dancing lights form in front of him and slowly move around his frame... creating a pulsating glow shining around the dragonborn from behind. With his back still to the crowd he would reach over his shoulder and draw his lute. Then as the speed of the orbs increase, the dragonborn would spin around quickly and extend his hand over the crowd as the four yellow lights shot out over the heads of the crowd as he begins to strum hard on his lute.
"Long time ago I was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road. All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon. In the middle of the road."
Chip would say wild eyed as he strummed the lute.. forming the orbs of light into a red deamon-ish shape..
"And he said: "Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your soul.""
Chip would snap his jaws and exhale a tiny puff of smoke from his nostrils as he scanned the crowd...
"Well I pulled out my Lute, And I said. "Okay."
And I played the first thing that came to my head, Just so happened to be, The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World.!!!"
Chip would shout playing the lute as hard as he could, his voice screeching as the glowing light demon danced above the crowd!
Performance! 18
Needless to say, the beast was stunned. Whip-crack went his whoopy tail, And the beast was done. He asked me: "(snort) Be you an angel?" And we said, "Nay. I am but dragonborn." Rock! Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah, Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!
"Great song Chip!" shouts Krom drinking his ale. After Chip's performance Krom will retire in his room, "Have a good night my friends, see you tomorrow at the first light."
Kazri claps and the tiniest of smirk shows on her face. The medallion on her neck glows faintly. She can feel her spirit warming up from Chip's performance, and a single tear comes down to her cheek. The current feelings are almost foreign to her, and she is glad that she is getting reacquainted to an old friend. She feels that joining this group of adventurers might be one of the decisions that she will not regret making in her life after the incident.

Toblen is pleased by the crowd that filters into his small inn, drawn by this group and the bard that came with them. The dragonborn's meals and room are easily covered by the increase in business.
As the part of the party that remains at the inn drinks in the common room they are able to speak with people from around the village.
Much of the talk is about the dragon though no one really has any specifics. You seem to find that most people just repeat the same rumors they have heard others say and few have actually seen the dragon. Of those only at a great distance.
But you hear other things as well, a lot of it about the Neverwinter Woods that lie to the north.
“Strange magic pervades Neverwinter Wood, confounding navigators and obscuring the ancient ruins of bygone kingdoms lost in its depths.”
“Falcon’s Hunting Lodge is the only safe haven in Neverwinter Wood. It lies deep in the forest along a river’s edge, and wealthy nobles venture there to hunt while under Falcon’s protection. Falcon is a retired veteran of many wars, and it’s said he’ll offer free room and board to anyone who brings him a bottle of wine.”
*Meanwhile*
Rekuburk and Chill head to the townmaster's home and Rekuburk bangs on the door. After a couple hard bangs on Harbin’s door you hear his voice on the other side say, “If you’re a dragon, know that I’m far too thin and bony to make a good meal!”
You try to get him to open the door but no matter what you say he won't open up.
"If you are here about the work go ahead and ask. I'll pay upon completion."
Rhogar just short of obnoxious joins in the cheers for the Bronze Dragonborn. He may have done more earlier -- some coordination or blessing to further enhance his fellow scaled one's performance. Alas, another mental side-track over too much thought on Toblen's news made it impossible. Still, where there were moments the shaping of several drinks into animated figures to mystify the crowd further, he sneaks them in on the sly.
"Now THAT was quite the spectacle! Well done, my funny named friend!"He calls out, pumping a fist in the air. Having no other plans for the eve aside to probe onlookers in the crowd about life in town before and after the dragon, Rhogar would find his rest without compunction, bidding the others an early goodnite.
(@all: Aww... I just realized I could've named Rhogar Dale for some throwback references.)

After his song, Chip would snap his fingers as the lights dim and wink out. "Thanks for the support friends!" He would say with a smile looking to his companions and the rest of the room. Seeing the tear streaming down Kazri's face, Chip would frown. "OH, sorry for upsetting you. my performances do that sometimes.. I had hoped this one was one of the better ones though... I will try harder next time.." He would say slumping over the bar and motioning for an ale.
(OOC: Crap! I hadn't seen Kazri's post. I will make a new one.)
After his song, Chip would snap his fingers as the lights dim and wink out. "Thanks for the support friends!" He would say with a smile looking to his companions and the rest of the room. As Kazri congratulates him, his smile would grow even wider. "Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!" He would say with a nod. As she turned to head to bed he would wish her goodnight before turning to Rhogar. "Hey Buddy! Thanks for the help out there!" He would say giving his fellow dragonborn a hard slap on the shoulder. Chip would then get a few more beers and stay up talking with those in the tavern before going to bed himself.
Chill tries to coax the man to open the door but to no avail. He looks to Rekuburk a disgruntled look on his face. "Leadership in this town is a bit lacking I think." he comments to Rek.
Yelling to the door and the man inside, "So where are these places? We are adventurers from outside the area. Tell us where we need to go."
Rekuberk considers using his axes to chop the door down when the cowardly man refuses to open the door, deciding against it as he does not wish to pay to fix the door or the man behind it. "If the coward won't come out then maybe we should consider having the town put a braver man or woman in charge..."

"The dwarves are in the mountains SW of town, the gnomes are to the SE and Adabra can be found a few miles south of town. Bring proof you've done any of these and I'll pay. But I'm not coming out!"
You can't get anything more out of the man.
Unless you choose to do anything else you return back to the Stonehill Inn just in time to catch Chip's last songs.
The following morning there is a chill in the air as you gather to break your fast and conduct the day's business.
Kazri meets the party in the common room ready to depart. "Greetings gentlemen. I believe we are to find an Adabra Gwynn and bring her safely back to town?"

"Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life."
The following morning Chill reports back to the others the conversation with Harbin.
"He refused to even open the door. The man must be a complete coward. He told us nothing his notes didn't already say except to bring back proof of the job done and we'll get paid. Which he better because I'm getting pretty short on funds."
You see that Chill has a new rock that he plays with while he speaks. He'll slip it into a pouch just to pull it out again a short while later. He doesn't even seem to be conscious that he is doing it.
"In ready to go when you are." He says cheerfully.
Chip would walk into the tavern bright eyed and bushy tailed with a bag of new equipment purchased from in town before grabbing a plate of breakfast. "So when we heading out? I am sure we can get that lady back to town in no time.." the dragonborn would say in between bites of food. "I mean.. Heck.. Rhogar and I can carry her back if she gives us too much fuss" He would say with a small laugh as crumbs of food fall from his mouth. After a few minutes, the dragonborn would finish his meal and drink before looking to the others. "So, are we ready to head out? " He would ask with a large smile.. revealing a few pieces of breakfast still stuck in his teeth.
(buying a crowbar, leather working tools, woodworking tools, weaver tools)
"I just don't understand. How did HE end up in charge? I know dragons are not exactly something to, uh, I believe the phrase is 'Turn your snout up on'? But even so!"Rhogar comments on the news, huffing and shaking his head in disbelief soon after. The Bronze scaled dragonborn's mood turns about at the arrival of the other scaled brother. Between annoyance and that, he only catches a glimpse of the stone a second time prior to getting side-tracked by Chip.
"Eh? Oh. Yah! Just let me--" Rhogar takes his plate and just slides whatevers left right down his gullet in one motion. "Mmph! Thish is goodsh! *Swallows* Alrighty! Let's be on then to the southwardly path, ya? Sooner we on our way, da more likely we can see 'bout maybe swinging the other places along the way."
"Greetings everyone!" says Krom finishing his breakfast. "I'm ready to go. It should not be a problem to find Adabra." As Krom exits the Inn you notice that the etchings on Krom's warhammer give out a faint emberish light.
"Sounds good!" Chip would say looking to the others, grabbing his bag and turning to the barkeep. "I think I should be back before dark to play another set tonight!" The brass scaled dragonborn would say with a toothy grin as he makes his way towards the exit and head into the street.
The party leaves the inn and makes their way south out of the village. You skirt along the edges of the foothills and the peaks of the Sword Mountains get closer. The sun rises higher in the sky but there is still a chill in the air.
A couple hours later you start making your way up a hill and you can see a building at the top. Built on the slope of Umbrage Hill is an old stone windmill surrounded by an iron fence. A large winged monster with a spiky tail comes around the south side of the building and begins trying to knock down the windmill’s front door. A woman appears in a second-floor window, waves at you, and yells, “A little help?!”
"I haven't find a good place yet, but I guess it will have to wait until the dragon is taken care of." replies Krom. "Chip! Sing something to cheer up the spirit".
Krom will stay in the inn unless the party leaves for some evening/night errands.
If nothing happens during the night Krom after taking a long rest will enchant his warhammer using the Blessing of the Forge.
