While the rest of the party wanders aimlessly through Waterdeep, Calvin and the little spies discover that the cultists spend a day resting their horses at a stable on the north side of Waterdeep. Other wagons are already there, (probably carrying treasure from all over the Sword Coast to the collection point). During the day, some of the cultists visit a large warehouse just inside the northern city gate. They also learn that it's the place where construction supplies are stockpiled for shipment north and where wagons are gathered and loaded for the trip.

Khessa (presumably together with Calvin?) updates the companions on the cult's activities in Waterdeep: "The cultists's wagons are at a stable on the north side of Waterdeep. Treasure from all over the Sword Coast must be there, ready to be brought to the collection point! During the day, some of the cultists visited a large warehouse just inside the northern city gate; it's the place where construction supplies are stockpiled for shipment north and where wagons are gathered and loaded for the trip!"
"Maybe we should look for another caravan heading north..." the blonde arcane warrior suggests "To be able to follow the cultists without raising too much suspicion..."
Waterdeep is a big city, Kriv probably just didn’t find the right part of town. Maybe spending more peaceful time with the mace will help him understand it better. He looks around, realizing he wandered away from the group. “Uh oh.”
The dwarf heads back to the others, visibly frustrated and says " Order's headquarter is among the Halls of Justice in the Castle Ward. And I cannot show up at night, looking for them. I would go there tomorrow morning" he mumbles "maybe we could take an eye on those cultist tonight from a certain distance, and we could refer to the Order tomorrow"

"A hot bad would prove quite interesting..." Khessa admits, hearing Zeminny's proposal "...but I like Eric's plan even more. Seriously... what could be more tempting than spying on a group of Cultists who, by allying themselves with some Red Wizards, aim to free Tiamat from the Nine Hells? I'm with you dear" she smiles at the dwarf cleric. "And my brother is quite talented at spying in the night".
Zale nods to Eric. "That do sound like a plan. Let's spy on some cultist scum..." She blinks, "Oi! Where did Kriv wander off to?! We was supposed to be travelin in groups! He's the one them cultists tried to murder ye know!"

Looking around you don't notice your friends anywhere. But you see a place with a big signboard that says "Little Acorn Retreat". It's not so much the name that catches your attention, it's the decorations on the signboard: they match teh decorations on your Maul.
Others: so to the Cult wagons? Or are you asking around for a caravan heading north?
Khessa with Eric to the Cult wagons (Anator can be useful for checking things unnoticed... )
Easy enough. Making you way to the north side of Waterdeep you hear rumors of a Half-Dragon being sighted in the area at least a tenday ago.
(It's after dinner time now, but given the time of year it's still light (and it will stay that way for a few more hours).
"Did you hear?" Khessa comments "A Half-dragon... Like Cyanwrath... probably by now it will be near the point where they want to collect all the treasure. Since we still have hours of light... we want to use them to ask if there is a caravan leaving in a northerly direction? Espionage is best conducted under cover of darkness..."

"He could be Rezmir, the other Dragonborn who was leading the camp" says Eric "let's see where they are going. After all we traveled together if we do not act too suspicious, we can always pretend having crossed our path in city by chance"
Kriv will step inside the Retreat. Looking around, he calls out, “Hello?”
At first glance it looks like a small and cozy bath house. You expect a calm and relaxing atmosphere, with soft music, candlelight and fragrant flowers. A common room, where guests can socialize, order food and drinks, or play games. A bathhouse that is popular with locals and visitors alike, looking for a place to relax and enjoy the pleasures of life. However when you enter it's more like more like a forest... or a cave... or a forest in a cave, with natural springs, waterfalls, plants, animals and stones. The bathhouse has no music, candles or flowers, just the sounds and smells of nature.
A young woman with long blond hair and green eyes greets you. Ah! We've been expecting you! She wears a simple brown tunic and a wreath of leaves on her head. She has a friendly and serene appearance, and speaks in a soft voice. Please follow me. and the young woman walks away as if you would naturally follow her.
"It will probably be dangerous to deal with another half-dragon again,"Calvin replies, he casts a glance over at Kriv. "I don't mean to cause you offence, but you are different to half-dragons, right?"

Zeminny will have accompanied the spy mission and will reveal he has a trick that can create a fog around the area for later if required. Also, he has a cool magic snare if they decide to thin the ranks of the cultists a bit

(Kriv isn't with the rest of us right now...maybe he's talking to Zale? If so...)
Zale raises an eyebrow at Calvin, "Of course we be different from half-dragons. There ain't no human or elven blood in me. No sir. I sure ain't gonna try to explain the difference in our origins though. Tch!" She growls, "Shouldn't we go find Kriv? For all we know the half-dragon could be after him! Plus, if it do be Rezmir, that bloke'll probably recognize 'im."She growls again and continues in a lower tone, "Grrr he'd probably recognize any 'o us."She glances at the group. "Khessa, can't you have your little bat friend find him? Or Nixi? Don't you have a familiar too?"

Zeminny will suggest they visit a hot bath and get a massage to easy the pains and soreness from the rather long journey
” Bubble, bubble, boil away your troubles…just not carrots in the water…” he laughs
"A hot bad would prove quite interesting..." Khessa admits, hearing Zeminny's proposal "...but I like Eric's plan even more.

“ Oh, ok….maybe the cultists will feel like taking a hot bath…” Zeminny will say with a chuckle
Zale nods to Eric. "That do sound like a plan. Let's spy on some cultist scum..." She blinks, "Oi! Where did Kriv wander off to?! We was supposed to be travelin in groups! He's the one them cultists tried to murder ye know!"

( man, Zeminny is missing the bathhouse, lol)
Kriv looks around confused. “You’re expecting me?” He follows the woman deeper into the bathhouse.
