Eyes locked to Neverember's at the moment, Ree'lyn had registered the reactions from the elven nobles and the other representatives as he spoke and introduced himself. Now he had a card to play.
"Is going north our present mission? A... recognition mission and possible rescue of this sorcerer?" - pausing longer than he should after his last words, Ree'lyn lets the sound of his voice carry just enough of a disappointment to show his frustration, but not in a way to decline the idea.
"I want each and every one of you to sign in a pact letter that shall be delivered to my family, but forewarned in a message through magical means, that they are allowed to do business with you in your territories and that our caravans can go to at least one contact of yours for supplies and travelers. We can prepare goods to attend your immediate shortage."
There are a few moments of quiet whispering between Neverember, Melandrach, and Brawnanvil, the latter getting more and more animated. Finally, Neverember sits back and addresses Ree'lyn. That is acceptable. Prepare the document, and we will sign. And it is your choice, should you choose to go north first, our agents will stay with Varram and keep tabs. The journey to the Sea of Moving Ice will take a few days. If you choose to go east after Varram, the teleport circle will get you close, but then you must find your way. Talk amongst yourselves if you must, and deliver your answer to Remallia straight away so we may prepare the appropriate equipment for you.
Brawnanvil has fixed Ree'lyn with a cold glare while Neverember was talking.

"I am glad we have come to an agreement." - with his eyes glancing at each of the representatives. - "I believe it would be important to weigh in on the information you have given us, then decide right here where to go next."
Holding one finger over his lips he just simply repeat the information that was given to them. "We have the general location for the... Tiefling sorcerer...huge iceberg, flattened like a plateau across its surface, but ringed by icy peaks. Then we have the location of one of the masks, the white Wyrmspeaker around the Serpent Hills."
After a brief moment, he waves his left hand swiftly. - "The Serpent Hills are closer. Taking one of the masks would mean to weaken the cult and their ritual. If my companions agree with that move. Where are we to take the mask after we recover it?"
Mate, ask 'em as many questions as ye need. I be sure dey can send word ta ye by pigeon or magic. If ye got a list o' ideas, let em 'ere it. Wes do need ta move quickly if dey got 5 masks already?
Baird turns back to Neverember for confirmation with a single brow raised
Neverember nods at Baird. All reports point to them having all 5 masks. You may get any last minute equipment you need and see Remallia here in 1 hour to get the scroll for the teleport. Thank you all. The believe the fate of Faerun may rest upon our shoulders. The council is dismissed. With that, he rises, and with a last nod to everyone, walks out a side door. Brawnanvil also walks quickly out another door, a scowl etched onto his face. The rest get up more slowly, quietly talking among themselves.

Meep easily remains on Bairds shoulder without issue and nods. "I believe so. Ready or not Ree'lyn, Baird and I will head out with Xilcerys and gather our things." She gives him a nod before patting Bairds shoulder. "Let's go. I'm sure Xilcerys has been waiting for a while."

Even with the rather cursory investigation, you're in a nice enough part of Waterdeep that you find a few bottles of Amberfire pretty easily at 1gp each, and some cigars imported from Maztica, 5gp per box.

Thorarak rises at dismissal. He eyes down Reelyn who was quick to dismiss his choice to join the cause. "Oi, pact keeper. I hope you're good at what you do. I hope all that noise and leveraging people in need for your own advancement is worth it to ya."

Ye get what ye need, i can carry it fer ya. Really dat goes for all of yas.
Baird exits with Meep in tow, when they make it back to the courtyard, his tension begins to die down. He opens his hand revealing that he had clinched his hand around the medallion he was holding, to the point that the edge had cut his palm slightly and a shimmer of crimson coats one edge
Ugh. I always feel like im gonna get locked up when i be around such upper classes like dat. And ye did great Meep. Ye pretty smart.
Meep frowns at the cuts on Baird's hand. "Oh. Well thank you Baird. But I'd prefer if you didn't cut your hands open with the medallion. As long as I'm around, you wont be getting locked up if I have anything to do with it. Here... Let me." She moves to rummage through Baird's pack, retrieving some loose bandage cloth, having him pinch it between his thumb and pointer finger. "Hold that tight right there. I'd prefer not to fall face first." She then carefully balances near his wrist, holding the other end of the bandage tightly in her hands before she leaps off his arm, dropping nearly to the ground before swinging back up and around his arm, using her foot to push off the ground if needed.

She continues to do this until Baird's hand is neatly and tightly bandaged before she swings up, landing skillfully on his arm and trying to neatly tuck the end of the bandage under the rest, tying it off. "There. All fixed. Please try not to cut it open again." She offers Baird a smile before hoping back up to sit on his shoulder.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Meep nods understandingly and pats Baird's shoulder with a smile. "I know you didn't Baird. Just try not to do it again." At Baird's mention of the Xilcerys, She too peers around from his shoulder. "I'm not sure. I suppose he got tired of our ramblings. We'll find him eventually."
Meep also does a peer: 12

Meep tilts her head and shouts to Xilcerys. "Buying some luxuries before we go? I can respect that. I believe after we gather a few things, we should be ready to go on our way."

“This one wishes for a case whiskey bottles and 5 boxes of these cigars.” He will continue looking for a longbow, some arrows, and some potions. “Yes, this one needs a few thing before we go.”

Am I going to turn out like this? Constant questions about trading and bargaining with new territories. Now I understand why Dean ddid't like this...

Well den. I believes we has a first step. Everyone ready?
Baird stands and takes a step toward the exit, then checks to see if meep managed yo stay on his shoulder while he stood up

He didn't get too far, doing only a cursory investigation of the surrounding area, so you're able to spot him perusing whiskey at a nearby vendor.
