The young dark-haired lady gives the pink tiefling a small amused smile. "All in due time dearest, we have important business at the mansion remember." She says with a pleasant smile, then turning to the innkeeper. "Thank you for your assistance, but if you would be able to provide us with a carriage and a lunch package to bring with us you will find we have the gold to compensate you generously."
The dwarf smiles at Mavilius' words. "Really? You are hoping to get into fishing? Could you make lunch for all of us then?" She feigns disappointment when Delilah seems to indicate she won't be fishing. Nor even managing to walk to the mansion.
To Simon, Bronnryn says, "If you have a couple wineskins to spare, I would take them. And thank you again for your assistance."
Here take these, the wine is good, Dragons Crush. I'm afraid there is no carriage, you'll have to walk, the tourists have all the carriages that the town has, I'm sorry. I'll just go and make you up a picnic basket for lunch, I've good cold mutton, fresh bread and butter, with redroot salad, and ripe pears.
The young dark-haired lady frowns slightly, having a hard time accepting there wasn't a single carriage available for them in this town. She finally sighs and nods, giving the innkeeper a polite smile. "Thank you, I'm sure Mavilius will be the gentleman and carry the picnic basket for us."She says with a teasing smile to the pink tiefling. "And let us hope the wine is decent at least." She turns and says with a small smile to the blonde dwarf as the innkeeper has left.
The tiefling takes the basket with a theatrical bow towards the ladies. "But of course. I'm truly honored you'd entrust me with such an important task," he says graciously, remembering the teachings of his tome. 'Just keep smiling'. It is a perfect opportunity to snack while the others aren't looking anyway.

You make your way along the path, the tinkling music from the stream and calls as nets were flung and salmon harvested on their mating run, all seems calm. What wagons you can see are being filled by the fisherman, the smell of smoking houses fill the air. You would not have wanted to share a wagon with fish.
After an hour you pass the firepit mentioned by Simon, it has ashes in the centre of the stone and looks well used. The path is rough better for horses than carriages.
Suddenly you feel a cold tingle down the spine, magic!
A ray of sunlight shines down on a tree stump by the side of road, and the disembodied head of a human woman appears above the stump.
"My name is Elra Lionheart," says the head. "My companions and I died trying to retrieve The Celestial Codex. Heed my words, lest you too fall prey to the dangers of Delphi Mansion. Markos is using the book to conjure an otherworldly being not meant to exist in this world. Meanwhile, his purple-robed cultists busy themselves with eldritch experiments. Beware creatures that look like puddles of eyes and mouths. Beware the thing that has hooks for hands. And beware the mansion itself, for it transforms weirdly. Most of all, stop Markos before it's too late!
"My companions and I had a camp on a bluff due south of the mansion. If you go there first, you'll find a backpack containing a map of the mansion and some notes we acquired from a dubious source. These might help you plan your approach. Best of luck!"
The lovely scenery is not lost on the young dark-haired lady and she realizes the walk has been quite nice, that is until the weird apparition appears. She can't help but wonder why the spirit of Miss Lionheart would appear as a head above a tree stump.
"Well that was...interesting." She says as the head finishes speaking. "While her information raises more questions I do think we should heed her advice and make our way to that bluff behind the mansion before we enter it. While I won't hesitate to proceed with our mission I must ask you all to be wary of the effects of the Far Realm. We should not linger inside that mansion longer than absolutely necessary, in fact if recovering the codex won't stop the taint and corruption we should consider burning the mansion to the ground when we leave to hopefully stop the spread of the influence from the Far Realm upon our world." She explains, seeming far more serious now than you have seen her before.
