"I see House Tharashk is as curious as ever. Do you possess the Mark of Finding, my good friend?" Miss d'Vown relaxes a hand onto her knee. "I feel very confident knowing you are on the case."
She listens to Archy's concerns and frowns. It seems less of disappointment, but more from frustration, "I wish I had more information on who sent that Warforged after Bonal. I'm hoping that during this expedition of sorts you will at least find out who would do such a horrific thing." Miss d'Vown straightens up and takes a deep breath. It seems that Bonal's murder did get to her somewhat. "The relic I seek is an adamantine plate in the shape of a seven-pointed star about the size of your hand,” Miss d'Vown explains. "It has no special power by itself but is an ancient schema—a piece of a pattern used by the Cannith artificers of old to craft unusual items. Recover this piece of history for us, and House Cannith will be extremely grateful.”
Finally, she laughs softly at Yrwin's worries, "Oh, I don't think it will be too tight... the foundry would need enough space to allow for workers to come and go."

Darnic laughs, “No, can’t say I do. Just good old determination. If anything, that might get this done quicker for you.” Darnic forces a little bit of a smile, but it’s a nerve that’s been touched.

Archy could definitely find a use for 1000 Galifars, but he'd have to stretch 100 to make a long mission run smoothly. It'd be enough though... He gives his cuzkins a sly wink. A few honeyed words might get a bit more coin onboard, if not they'd stretch the funds at the shops at least.
They were good at that sort of thing. Better even than Archy was. Yrwin at least when he had his nerves...
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Yrwin takes the hint and puts on his warm house Ghallanda smile. "M-m-my dear lady, c-could you spare a few extra coins for us?" Yrwin stutters and the smile looks very forced at first but as he gets into speaking the nervousness seems to tone down a bit. "The sum you've so graciously offered us in advance is no meagre sum at all, but we have recently fought together... and let me just be a little honest here. We are not incredible fighters, if push comes to shove we might be able to push through a troublesome sure, but with a little more money in advance you could more or less guarantee that we actually get through said situation. I mean, look at us, we aren't really professionals here. A few extra Galifars can go a long way when it comes to preparing for such an endeavour. Yrwin's nervous smile makes a slight comeback as he admits that the group is relatively new to the adventuring business.
Willie sees Archy's smile, and realizes what he is suggesting. She swallows her anger. "No sense in using vinegar when honey will do", she thinks. She bats her eyes and looks up at the lady.
"We'll try our best, it's true. A bit of coin, or equipment, would help a lot!"
Willie smiles, showing her dimples. Her mother had told her those dimples would stop a charging war dwarf straight in his tracks. She puts them to good use, turning her cuteness up to eleven.
A creeping flush comes over Ms. d'Vown's face as she looks at Willie's beautiful face. It would seem the kithkin didn't need to do much to win this woman over. "V-Very well... I could give you half now. I cannot give the whole sum out of principle... but I-I believe I can trust you with half."

Archy gives Darnic a, somehow subtle, high five. "Alright sounds like we've got a gig." Archy offers MS. d'Vown a hand.
Once we've secured funding it's time to shop. Archy cheerfully bounces from storefront to storefront. Looking for anything and everything useful.

Willie follows Archy, skipping on the stone pavement in her lighthearted way. "I'm new to this, but perhaps some light armor would be useful for me? What do you think?"
"Even the light armor tends to get in the way more than it helps if you haven't practiced with it. Though the protection it offers isn't significant... I think that shop keeper's sweet on you. Who isn't though. Let's go talk him into giving us a discount." Archy tries to Help get a deal.
Yrwin walks idly by the others scratching his sideburns. He has mixed look of regret and excitement on his round face. "Ok, so I think I would like a.. portable spice rack? Just to bring with me, I use them to.. well flavour my spells so to speak. Ads a little bit of oomph to a fire-spell if you cast it with cayenne you see!" Along the road he starts to pocket stones, if he can find any, about a fist big. "A leather pouch for these would me nice too" He says as his pants are about to fall off by the weight of the rocks.

Yrwin swallows his fear for just a moment. "House Cannith.. Well it isn't bad to have a good reputation there.."

Willie shares Yrwin's concern. This deal is getting worse all the time, she thinks. It appears the others are willing to go, so she nods.

Darnic catches the glance and nods, these two have the raw charisma of a pair of puppies. She’ll break soon enough.
