A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Darby nods before stopping his browsing. "I am actually in search of perhaps more interesting goods. I am a merchant I search of goods to return south with. I mostly work in gems and jewelry but I doubt that much of that is sold here due to current circumstances."
"Sorry to dissapoint you but if you want gems or stones you'd be better off buying those directly from miners or wealthy people, the demand for such pieces isn't big around here"
Sarya is looking around for Clara to get back with their drinks and maybe also food as the three stocky figures stumbles forward to their table. "Hi Hruna, Korux and Storn, nice to meet you. You've defintely come to the right table, we're quite capable all of us here. What is it you need us to deal with and what will you pay us to get it done?"Sarya says in a friendly tone.
“We’re the survivors of a group of dwarves tasked with delivering a sled of iron ingots to Bryn Shander. A yeti surprised us and killed a member of our group. The rest of us fled as the yeti tore Oobok limb from limb. Now we need someone to go back and get the sled for us. As payment, we offer each of you a gemstone worth fifty gold pieces. The friendship of the dwarves of Icewind Dale can also be a boon in these harsh times.” - Says Hruna with a raspy voice most likely from years of smoking. After laying out her offer she stares at Sarya and tapes the table with three fingers...her hand only has those three fingers.
Grim looks to his companions. "The friendship of the Dwarven clans is indeed worth much." He turns to Hruna, and says, "we must wait for the rest of our companions to join us before committing, but is there aught else you can tell us? Such as how far out the sled was? How heavy it is--can we pull it with a team of dogs or will we need a stronger beast? Anything else that might help?"
"ahem..sure those are good questions...you should be able to fin the sled between here and Kelvin’s Cairn I can point you in the right direction. Regarding the sled well..." - Hruna starts to calculate some data, throws around some numbers and finally concludes "The sled weighs some 300 pounds, and the iron ingots we want to retrieve should add another 600 pounds of weight to it. You should be fine pushing it back here "
((Here's a little reminder for the amount of weight you can push)
Carrying Capacity. Your carrying capacity is your Strength score multiplied by 15. This is the weight (in pounds) that you can carry, which is high enough that most characters don’t usually have to worry about it.
Push, Drag, or Lift. You can push, drag, or lift a weight in pounds up to twice your carrying capacity (or 30 times your Strength score). While pushing or dragging weight in excess of your carrying capacity, your speed drops to 5 feet.
Dwalt leans back and says nothing, letting the rest of the group sort out the details.
However, Dwalt being from the area, will look the dwarves over to see if there is any thing about them that tells what clan they are from.
Investigation: 20
seeing anything Dwalt will try to remember anything he can about these dwarves and their clan:
History: 19
Your knowledge of the dale and the information shared by the dwarves allows you to identify them as inhabitants of the Dwarven valley they are known to venture into the mines of Kelvin's Cairn. You've heard that some members of the Battlehammer clan own and reside in those mines.

Tysris sets his 7 gp on the counter and takes a dagger and 10 rations, hard tack. He thanks the owner and says to Darby “I’ll see you there.” He heads out the door and over to the Northlook, pulling up a chair at the table and sits down, curious to hear what has transpired.

"Hey Tysris, where's Darby?"Sarya says as Tysris joins them at the Northlook. "These nice dwarves here have just offered us a new job if you're interested. We're going to get their sled back from a Yati, no I mean a Yeti." She explains with a wide smile.
“Darby’s over at the Blackiron Blades, but not finding too much. I found this nice dagger and I got some extra rations for us, had the feeling that we were going on a trip soon. Have to be careful ‘roun here, don’t wanna get snowed in somewhere and have nothing to eat.” He gives an imperceptible shiver and then looks around for the waitress.

"That was thoughtful of you Tysris but we're sticking to the towns I hope, it's snowy enough as it is around here I think." Sarya says, shuddering at the thought of camping on the tundra.
“I’ve done it before, built a little house outta ice & packed snow when a storm moved in fast, but it was almost covered, had to dig my way out. Happened to me not long after I came up here from Mirabar, a fine hello to you too, Mr. Blizzard. Heh! Ole Auril trying to get a good look at me bleached bones, had to tell her no, thank you very little. Started working for ole Aleppo here, but he was a crusty bastard that is tight on coin. Now what are we going after, a Yeti? Whaa? Moving up a notch from Verbeegs, eh?” He takes a big sip of mead, eyes wide and curious.
Sarya giggles at Tysris story but then grows serious again as he mentions the Yeti. "So what is a Yeti then? Worse than Verbeegs? Have you met one Tysris?" She asks with anticipation.
“Laws no. Or I wouldn’t be sitting here in front of ya! That’s the kind of spooky creature you tell tales about sittin around the campfire, it is. We better have a good plan if we are going to take one on. Like somma that powerful magic like you have, burnemup! Weee hoooo!” A wild look is in his eye as he goes through the mead fairly quickly, quite obviously in awe of you. He laughs and looks down at his hands, strong, but less impressed with what they can do.

"Yes, right, burnemup!" Sarya says with a weak smile, fingering her ruby ring. "We'll just have to be really careful then I guess." She says, sounding a bit less confident now. "So, is it some kind of ghost then?"
Darby looks at them closely to see if they are hiding anything as he asks about the gems.
Insight: 5
" Gems were found in one of the mines at Kelvin's Cairn, here, take a look" - The dwarf shows a gemstone to Darby never letting go of it but allowing him to inspect it carefully. You take a look at the other dwarves. One has a stern look, but doesn't seem much interest in joining in the conversation as Hruna he is missing some fingers and the nose. Hard to know what exactly caused it but it doesn't look recent. The other dwarf is muttering things to himself often looking outside with fear. Hard to know if they are hiding something maybe just some trauma from living in the dale.
Dwalt continues to listen to the party's interaction, saying little. After a few moments he will speak up;
"Why would a Yeti attack yer group?" he asks the dwarves. "Did it look like it was starvin?"
"It seemed just a severe case of being in the wrong place at the wrong moment, hard to say but it seemed so, we didn't look back but I'm sure I heard some muching. The yeti never attempt to go after us, could've been that it was hungy or he simply wanted a snack" though it seems a cynical way to refer to an old friend, Hruna doesn't seem to say that lightly, she does say it with some respect.
"Yes, right, burnemup!" Sarya says with a weak smile, fingering her ruby ring. "We'll just have to be really careful then I guess." She says, sounding a bit less confident now. "So, is it some kind of ghost then?"
"Imagine a large white horned gorilla but...not a ghost but it sure looks like one at the distance"
"What's a gorilla?" Sarya says with a confused look. "Oh wait don't tell me, it's like a yeti but without the horns and not white right?" She says and giggles.
Darby nods as he looks them over, guessing that it would be a good idea to check some of the other larger towns. "Yes these are close to what I am looking for but not quite. Thank you for your time either way." Darby says as he nods and hands over a few gold in thanks.
"What's a gorilla?" Sarya says with a confused look. "Oh wait don't tell me, it's like a yeti but without the horns and not white right?" She says and giggles.
"You don't travel much, huh?" - says Hruna a bit upset "large creature with body covered in fur, huge fangs and horns, could tear any of us in half in a heartbeat" ... "Sorry about that"
Ghathi was sitting back, listening to the conversation. He grins at Sarya, "How could you not have heard of a gorilla? They're like taller than a man and much stronger." He looks around at the others. "I think we could probably handle a yeti if we are careful about it. We'll have to work as a group. Sounds like a reasonable job." He looks then at the three dwarves, "It was just the one of them? I'd hate to get out there and find a whole pack!"
"This is the first trip I've made out of Luskan really. I guess I have a lot to learn."She says, looking down blushing a bit. "If it's like a wild animal perhaps it won't bother with the sled of iron ingots and has moved on by now." She suggests after a moment. "Or would a Yeti collect treasures?"
