Raja learns that the 20-year-old scion of a wealthy merchant is currently staying in the area. Public rumor is that the lad is looking to open his own branch of the family business in the village. Rumor also has it that the would-be business owner is struggling to find an investment parter due in no small part to his naivete in the area of financial management.
Raja begins planning, tracking the scions movements so that he can happen to meet the man at the tavern and discuss business over a drink. He'll mention in passing the mine as a possible investment opportunity and wait for a bite.
With a modicum of back-and-forth haggling (and a surprising amount of lucky insight on the part of the mark), Raja is finally able to get the young merchant to invest a total of 36 gp (entrusted directly to Raja) in the mine reclamation project with a supposed understanding that this is a speculation - the mine might not be recoverable, in which case the investment would not be returned. In short, Raja is free and clear if the mine is never reopened, but, if the party DOES successfully clear and reopen the mine, Raja has a potentially legitimate business partner who could a) sell any gems mined and b) take the fall if/when an angry rightful (i.e. legal) mine owner shows up to demand his property be returned (which could be circumvented by purchasing the rights to the mine before reopening it).
Wick takes some time to learn more about the creatures around the Village of Borgstrand, he will attempt to find a local to teach and after that he will scout around the area.

Wick has learned enough to identify most local creatures (and some monsters) by sight should he encounter them [OOG: please remind me of this should I forget to PM you when you run into new enemies/animals/monsters]. In addition, he met a local Druid who is willing to consult should Wick encounter anything unusual or which he cannot easily identify.
As for scouting around the local area, please make 3 survival checks.
Caldath will ask around to see if anyone requires a bit more muscle or a few more swords to make a point in any property disputes.

Though Caldath is unable to locate any such need for his talents, he does find a pit fighting ring which hosts nightly matches (non-lethal brawling). It costs 10 GP to enter as a fighter or bets may be placed on scheduled matches.
