"That sounds terrible, does the town guard not do anything about these people?"

"Dracht! Animals," Ordrin says with disgust.

"That sounds terrible, does the town guard not do anything about these people?"

"Hasn't been need fer a proper guard here before. Normally we'd get help from Triboar or Neverwinter but the request would have to come from Harbin"

"We are looking for a missing dwarf named Gundrin.  Maybe after we find him, we could help with these Redbrands?  We are thinking he is in a place called Cragmaw Castle.  Do you know where that might be?"

Rin finishes whats left of his ale, without any nose wrinkling, and his tail is now lazily swishing up and down.

"Gundren? Cragmaw Castle? Neither rings a bell to me laddie. We're too busy keeping our own arses intact with the Redbrands to pay much attention past the town limits these days. Halia Thornton might know.  She tends to keep her ears open more than most."

 "And where might we find this Thornton lass?"

Toblen grabs a napkin and draws a rough map to show you where it.  "Her house is just over there by the miners exchange. Down the street and turn left"

Rin's jaw drops and he nearly loses his ale tankard when he sees the napkin map, "The detail is incredible!" 

OoC: What time of day is it?

Looking at the map, Anton has the same reaction Rin did. "Toblen, are you a trained cartographer? An artist? Sketching a map like this on a napkin in such a short time..."

Then, back to Rin and the others, "I agree, we should stay focused on finding Gundren before going off on tangents with these Redbrand. But perhaps while we're in town it would be worth talking to some of these folks. You never know; it could be the two are connected."

OoC: Also wondering what time it is. If it's late, perhaps we should get some rest and set out to gather information in the morning.

"I would like to talk to the Lionshield Coster to tell them of their boxes in the cave, and also see what supplies they have." Rin says and then looks at Anton, "Yes, maybe someone knows about Cragmaw Castle.  Its always good to know about a thing before storming it!"

Toblen puffs up in pride. "It gets a wee bit boring owning an inn. I miss me younger days, chasing lasses, and..." He stops as a dinner roll hits him from the kitchen area. "I HEARD THAT TOBLEN".

It is early evening at this point.  You arrived late afternoon

Rin looks at his empty tankard and licks his lips and exclaims, "I think I really like ale..." then gets up and heads towards the door, "I am heading to the Coster, I will be back for more I think!" 

Rin heads towards the Coster.

"He's a brave one, that," Ordrin says as Rin leaves. Then turning to Toblen, "Is he safe in this town, being all furry like and such?"

To the rest of the party he says, "I've got to see a dwarf about a cave bear. And after that I'll be lookin' for Dame Thornton."

Overhearing Ordrin, and feeling a pretty good from the liquid courage he just drank, Rin says, "Rin is always safe my new friend, Lliira guides my steps!"

Leo, after deciding the curiosity was not doing a good job on his mind, decides to ask Rin: "You keep talking about Lliira, is she your friend or something? Whoever she is, it's clear she cares for you by the way you talk, but I feel like I should've known who she is." Having little knowledge about religion or almost any other thing related to civilisation, the aloof Firbolg makes that question only in behalf of unawareness.

Rin halts in the doorway, spins on his heel and says, "Leo, why do you not come with me to the Coster?  I will tell you of Lliira on the way!"

"I cannae say what is and isn't safe these days. Don't see many Tabaxi round here tho, and I wager the young ruffians will leave him alone until they get the measure of him. A cowardly bunch mostly. Prefer the easy, unarmed marks"

"Hm, I don't like sepparating groups, but I'm also not one to reject offers, so I'll go with you..." Saying that, Leoneiros finishes his drink (water), and gets up to follow Rin.
