Lost Mines of Phandelver by kyleh2486

"Hey Gramgran, Morpetor! It will only take me minute to bath, then I will be ready for us to go shopping for supplies."

Kim runs to take her bath, and returns in just minutes, back in her usual black rob with the pick designs. A smile is fixed upon her face. She holds up her coin pouch and nods that she is ready to head off.

Sildar makes his exit from the tavern. "Guess I outta be on my way to find that wizard. He may have some information for me when I find him." He kicks the crates of supplies taken from the goblin cave. "That's some very important supplies for the Lionshield Coster. They're business is just right across the plaza here." He points to the building with a sign displaying a matching logo of a blue lion head. "The town master is also right here in the plaza as well. But I'm assuming you may want to hand over the good here and collect some coin. Barthen's Provisions is to the north, along the road we came in on. Should be an easy find, they're the only provisions business around."

Remembering that him and Yuri were taking the supplies back today Renvalm makes his way to the cart.

Gramgran

“Sildar, would you mind if I joined you? I’d like to meet this wizard who might help us find Gundren.” Looking back at Kim, she smiles and tells her, “You can go shopping dear. I just don’t really need anything right now.”

Sildaar replies to Gramgram, "you could, although this wizard is not fond of strangers that he does not know." It seems like that is not the whole truth to the issue. "Feel free, but you may be spending some time outside of doors..." 

As he sees Ren enter the yard, Yuri waves, "How was the run?"

I think Yuri has been busy, checking their cargo is still there and making sure the horses have been fed and brushed. They still need to be put in their harnesses.

Waving back, Renvalm walks up to the cart. "It was a pleasant warm up but I'm eager to get this day started. Let's get these horses ready and get these supplies where they need to go."

Kim smiles and nods acknowledgement to Gramgran, the turns to Morpetor. "Ready to go? I'm sure we can find the supplies you need." 

Yuri puts the animals in their harnesses and connects it to the cart. Then he and Ren lead them across the square to the Lionshield Coster.

Animal handling - 22 if needed.

Gramgran 

Replying to Sildar, Gramgran says, “I’m sure he won’t do that to me dear. After all, I might know him or his family too! I do know quite a few people being around so long. Well let’s go honey.” And she’ll follow him as he walks.

Yuri and Ren make their way over to the Lionshield Coster without an issue. The sign out front bears the same logo as the logo painted on the boxes. As you enter the building, a younger human woman, as well as a few large men, are working. Adventuring supplies, mostly weapons, fill the business. The female turns and sees the boxes you have carried in. "We have been expecting those for some time now." As she looks you over she says, "you're not the normal couriers."

Sildar takes Gramgran south through the plaza toward a building. Smoke comes from the chimney and a few people are coming and going. A sign outside says, "Miner's Exchange." Sildar walks inside and up to the counter. He begins speaking with a middle aged human woman after a transaction with another customer takes place. As you stand back a little bit, you can hear him asking about "Albrek." She looks past Sildar and directly at Gramgran. "You look a little out of place here, granny." She chuckles a little and returns to speaking with Sildar. 

Where did Kim go? It wasnt clear to me. 

OOC - if Kim wants, she can go to Barthen’s Provisions with Morpetor. 

OOC- Kim went with Morpetor.

Gramgran 

She simply smiles at the woman kindly and waits patiently.

Morpetor and Kim follow Ren and Yuri over to the Lionshield Coster. After the found crates are unloaded, Morpetor and Kim take the wagon north to the largest trading land in Phandalin, Barthen's Provisions. Once they enter, they are greeted by a lean, balding human male shopkeeper, in a leather apron, of about 50 years of age. He greets you, "Welcome to Barthen's Provisions." As you look around, common adventuring gear fills the shelves. "I haven't seen you folks 'round here before. If you're looking for gear, this is the place." Two other young men are working in the shop, cleaning and organizing. 

As the conversations between Sildar and the woman ends, she turns again to Gramgran. "To make out to a town like this, you must either have some good protection or you're more capable than you look." She motions with her head for you to come closer. 

Gramgran 

Stepping forward she just says, “Oh no, simply the experience that comes from living a good long life. You start to figure out how the world works at about age 200, and from there you simply refine your knowledge.”

Standing with the boxes, Yuri holds out a hand in greeting to the human woman from Lionshield Coster. "I guess not. I'm Yuri, this is Ren." Pointing to the big barbarian.

"We found these crates in a series of caves along the road from Neverwinter. I guess your normal delivery guys have gone missing recently? Anyway, judging from the logo, these crates are yours. We thought it best to return them."

The woman sticks her hand out to shake with Gramgran. "I'm Halia. I run this establishment here. We deal in raw precious metals. Mining here isn't like how it used to be, but some folks still make a a decent living panning, mostly for gold. Problem is, it's hard to make any money around here. Have you seen the ruffians around town here? The Redbrands? They're bad for business, not just to me, but to everyone here." She moves in closer to you, still behind the counter. "I've been looking for an outsiders help to deal with this problem, but we don't get too many new people to town anymore. There's gold in it for you......" She trails off after another miner walks in. She begins talking with the old miner, exchanges his gold nuggets for coins. 

"Well isn't that just honorable of you," she says with a wink to Yuri. "I'm Linene, owner of this branch of the Lionshield Coster. We're an outfit in the business of weapons, but we have a code as to who we will and will not sell to. Anyone that is a threat to this town does not get their weapons from us." Linene pulls out a small wooden chest. She removes 50gp from the chest and places it on the table. "These supplies are worth a lot to us. Hopefully this will help with whatever troubles you had to get these back for us." She pushes the stack of coin to you on the counter. 

Yuri takes the pouch and bows to Linene, "Thank you miss," returning upright, he cocks his head and then nods to Renvalm, "Might we be allowed to look at your stock?"

Gramgran 

She’ll wait until the woman finishes with the miner, then politely says, “Well while I do want to set those boys straight, right now I’m looking for a friend of mine. Sildar here is helping me find him. Right dearie?” She says as she turns to Sildar.
