Misprize Thou Not These Shadows That Belong: Lost Mines of Phandelver

Rabbit, perhaps still a bit shaken by the odd words of Sister Garaele, or at least that's what she tells herself, looks at Wolfe as he opens the door.  She turns back and follows him inside, half expecting some commentary from him.  She's a tiny bit surprised not to hear any. 

Never being one to disappoint Wolfe turns to Rabbit as she follows him. "So what was that all about with the preacher, did she just get a new convert to her congregation?" He asks Rabbit, just being curious it seems, still looking for someone to speak to inside.

A human woman of perhaps 40 years, greets you warmly. Behind her and to the sides of the room are all manner of equipment, weapons,  and armors. 

"Good morning, I hope we don't intrude on you but we have some information about some supplies of yours that have gone missing." Wolfe starts with a bow. "We were putting our lives at risk while finding this out so some kind of reward would be in order I think." He says in a serious but frienly tone.

 “Well, at least you don’t suffer from subtlety, young man.  Names Linene Graywind. Where are the supplies, pray tell?”

"The supplies can be found in a cave a few hours west from Phandalin. It might still be guarded but only by a handful of goblins, we took care of their self proclaimed bugbear leader and most of the goblins. You're welcome." Wolfe says with a smile and another bow. "We will help you out further as soon as we have discussed our compensation for the risks we took in that cave."

Krull stays quiet while Wolfe and Rabbit have a chat with the owner and he inspects the weapons looking for a handaxe since his own has been broken in half..he then turns his head to Mrs Graywind.." I like this handaxe..it is balanced and light and the edge quite sharp..how much for it? And I guess you don't fix weapons eh?" showing his old handaxe.

Rabbit looks at Wolfe as he asks about the 'preacher' but does not get in a response before the human woman comes to greet them. She helps Wolfe explain about the supplies to the woman, trying to be apologetic about not retrieving them. Unfortunately, they really didn't have the means to transport everything.

The woman seems to understand after you explain the situation. “Well, it’s good to know what’s happened to them, it’ll be easier to recover them at least. Here’s a bit of coin for your efforts.”  She gives you 50 gp total. “If you ever want to recover them, let me know. I’d be happy to have them back.”

Wolfe let's Rabbit take care of the coin, hoping she will notice how he diligently pursues any and all avenues to improve on their wealth.
"We'll take your offer under consideration, first we have to dela with a small problem with some rascals pestering the community. Good day Ms. Graywind." He says before leaving, collecting the others, before crossing the street and entering the Townmaster's hall.

"You pay well and we ll get them..so what about that weapon ..how much?" asks Krull the lady pointing at the handaxe ( there is a handaxe among the weapons right?)

Rabbit takes the 50 gp, planning to divvy them up soon amongst everyone.  Passing Krull, she will count out his share of 10 gp.  Once outside she will give Wolfe, Mau, and Edryd their share of 10 gp. 

During their walk over to the Townmaster's Hall, Rabbit asks Wolfe, "DId you hear what that Sister Garaele said to me? Guenhyvar Ath Al Guenhyvar." The last part she says in Elvish. 

"No, sounds like elvish, do you know what it means Rabbit?" Wolfe says, accepting his share, seeming curious now.

"Yea, the remark just kind of got to me," Rabbit says. "And Sister Garaele just seemed to look right at me when she spoke.  You don't think she, Tymora, and your Ezekiel could all be working together, do you?"  She seems a little concerned.  "When i threw in the coin too it was...  strange. I'm not sure what happened actually."

"Heh, my impression of Ezekiel is that he is far to stiff to have any relations to someone as fickle as Tymora, but what do I really know about celestials." Wolfe says. "That coin you threw though, perhaps you recieved Lady Luck's attention." He says with a smile, looking around for Sildar or someone else to speak to inside the Townmaster's hall.

"Maybe. I felt something when I tossed the coin in. A calm. Confidence." Rabbit looks at Wolfe. "It was odd, after feeling disoriented by her other words."  She looks up as you approach the building. "Well, looks like we're here."

 Linene grins.  "Aye, nice choice.  That's 5gp.  And if you want, I'll throw in a whetstone as well."

The townmaster's hall has sturdy stone walls, a pitched wooden roof, and a bell tower at the back. Posted on a board next to the front door is a notice written in Common. It reads: "REWARD-Orcs near Wyvern Tor! Those of a mind to face the orc menace should inquire within."  The notice bears the town's seal and an indecipherable signature.

Inside the hall, there is an office that bears the emblem of Phandalin and two militia are posted there.  To the side, there is a set of stairs leading down.  Two guards with halberds stand at attention here.  There are two other rooms, one of which looks like a meeting hall and the other an office.  Sildar comes out of this office to greet you.  "Ah, my friends!  How are you?  All rested up I hope."  Sildar guides you into his office, if you're willing, and closes the door.  "I've seen my fair share of incompetence and short-sidedness in my day, but...well, this town needs a steady hand right now, else it falls further into chaos!  Harbin Wester, what a fool."  He shakes his head.  "And I couldn't find Iarno anywhere, but the one possible lead said he vanished around 2 months ago.  The Alliance must hear about this, of course, but I will need to find him.  Apparently the last time anyone saw him was around the big manor in town....have you found anything of interest?"

"Harbin? That's the Townmaster?" Rabbit asks, trying to keep up with all the people SIldar is mentioning. "About all we've gathered is that the Redbrands are a real nuisance."  She galnces at the other party members to see if they have anything to add. 

" sure!the sharper the better! Here you go " says Krull satisfied with his new weapon..he takes out from his pouch he amount that was requested and leaves them in front of her

"We've heard they can be found loitering by the Sleeping Giant so there's a place to start I guess. I think we can convince one of them to tell us where to find te rest. I believe we could be willing to help out with orcs and finding Iarno as well, but we should definitely start with these Redbrands. Are we to understand that there are no reward for taking care of these bandits then?" Wolfe says to Sildar.
