Barthen gives the party a frown. "You're a bit of an odd bunch to be travelling together, still I guess Gundren knows what he's about." He follows them back out to the cart. "Follow the road you came in on down to the main square. The Coster is the largest building on the far side. If you bring the cart back here once you're done, I'll see to it that it gets back to Neverwinter."
He scratches his head. "Oh. You'll be passing the Stonehill Inn on the way. Can't miss it!" He calls out to one of his assistants. "Thistle, be a good lad and show them the way to Linene's place for me, eh!"
The boy gives you all a wide toothy grin. "Thith way. It'th not far." He grabs the halter of the oxen and starts to pull them into motion.
Thistle's right, and it doesn't take long to reach the Coster, though the town seems very subdued. A couple of men wearing red cloaks are hanging around the square as you pass through, and they eye you all with undisguised contempt. As you stop, one nudges the other and they saunter off up one of the side streets. Hanging above the front door of this modest trading post is a sign shaped like a wooden shield with a blue lion painted on it. "Here ya go," the boy says, and holds out his hand expectantly.
Sylharice as soon as he notices those men becomes lost for a few minutes..or so it seems cause in reality he is communicating with his familiar "Our target are men with red cloaks..follow them from distance.soon i ll need you again"
The boy reflexively takes Willow's hand. "Thithle," he says, and looks down at his hand, now shaking Willow's. "Thath not what...." He shakes his head. "Oh, never mind. Linene thould be inthide right now." He turns to go. "Thee you, Willow." He wanders off looking at his hand and mumbling something to himself.
“Hmm, oh we’re here. Darn I was hoping to get that right before we got here.” Moralesh looks again at the building and starts towards it. “I’m sure everything will be fine. We just tell her we have her stuff and where to get the rest. That’s the plan right?”
Graeme watches the exchange between the boy and Willow play out, chuckling under his breath. He lets the boy wander a sufficient distance to get the idea that he wasn't getting what he had hoped for.
"Oi, lad!" he yells causing the kid to abruptly turn back to the group. At that, Graeme tosses a copper his way.
As the coin is tossed to the boy, Willow looks to Graeme with a tilted head; "What give you for coin? Or using charity? Hear has no reward, but can make feel good."
To Moralesh, Willow would nod, and starts walking towards the door. "That truth, not plan. Let us go in."
“Well, it’s a bit complicated, but humans reward behaviors we want tae see repeated, an’ punish those we doon’t.” He looks back over to the boy and continues...
“The lad was helpful, so I gave him a wee somethin’ as a reward.” Graeme concludes with a shrug. “...and tha’ can feel good.”
Moralesh enters Lionshield Coster and yells "Miss Linene! We're finally here with your delivery! Sorry we're late! There were these goblins and chains and buggybears and wolves. But we're safe now and we are here with like half of your stuff, kinda need to go and get the rest with like 20 guys and get it out of the cave that it is in, it wasn't a safe cave cause that was where the goblins took it when they captured us, but we made it safe after these 3 great people came and rescued us and we killed the wolves and Miss Willow ate one, then we went and killed the buggy bear and freed the goblins to go become better Cragmaw goblins in a place that isn't cragmaw. Then slept in that cave that was safe now and we loaded up this stuff and brought it the rest of the way here.......Hello? Miss Linene??"
Moralesh starts looking around to see if Linene was even there as he had started talking before he entered the door and his eyes adjusted to the stores interior.
Sylharice was standing behind quietly..he realised his contact with his familiar been lost " hmm I can't sense u Huginn .when we ll go to stonehill inn I ll summon u back,at the time u can rest at bit " he makes a gesture like weaving again a word in the air( temporarily dismiss his familiar)
When everyone comes out of Barthen's Norwin will remark: "Maybe we should deliver that letter to Sildar, him being closer to Gundren and all."
Then when the rest of the group walks to Lionshield Coster Norwin will say: "Hey guys, you've got this right? I feel like wandering around on myself a bit. See you later today in the inn!" And he wanders a bit around the town to get a feel for the mood in town. Mostly keeping to the central square for now. He will probably take some time with the shrine there (is it a shrine?).

Willow would look at the building and ignore the red cloaked men, and then to the boy with his hand out. She would shake his hand.
"My name Willow. What young boy name who extends hand for shake?"

Willow would wave, "See you, Thithle. Moralesh? You want go in first?"
“Hmm, oh we’re here. Darn I was hoping to get that right before we got here.” Moralesh looks again at the building and starts towards it. “I’m sure everything will be fine. We just tell her we have her stuff and where to get the rest. That’s the plan right?”
