Kintu offers a slow nod, "I am willing to go wherever my new friends are. They seem to stumble across the most interesting finds."

SP will walk over to the tortle and poke him a few times. "I found this last time we explored a sewer!"

Jalester takes his leave, and lets you know he'll be back later.

You guys have a new big house, you have new neighbors in the form of homes and businesses on Trollskull Alley, you can go looking for work if you want to make some coin, you can explore, shop, meet new people etc. I know I railroaded you a bit at the beginning but you've unlocked the open world sandbox area of the game now, so you guys let me know what you want to do.

(SP wants to have a scoobydoo mystery hunt for a gh gh gh ghost!)

**grab your fantasy proton packs and lets do it!**

(I am a warforged... it is built in... I fire it from my eyes!)

Dolf would be interested in work

**Well what are you going to do about it Dolf?! Get out there and find a ding dang job! **

You all stand in the Taproom staring at each other for three silent hours.

Anyone that looks out the window or was looking around before you came inside would have seen the following locations near you.

The Bent Nail - Sells wooden furniture and also a selection of wooden weapons and tools (crossbows, staffs , canes, etc)

Steam and Steel - a forge where you can buy metal weapons and armor and shields

Corellon's Crown - a greenhouse and herbalist

Tiger's Eye - had a cat's eye on the sigm, hard to tell what they do there

Book Wyrm's Treasures - Books and scrolls store

Frewn’s Brews - a tavern

After a few minutes Dolf realizes he hasn't done anything except think so he speaks up.

I think I'm going over to Steam and Steel, I'm hoping to find some work a little extra coin and someone to repair my gear would be invaluable over time. Anyone want to go?

With that he heads out to introduce himself and inquire about work.

Dihe'nir says this after three hours of silence, "Well, I need to pee. Do we have a toilet?"

**ataboy! Who else is going for a walk?**

**Privy is on the third floor, lol**

Sp will head to Steam and Steel to sell some of the things he picked up in the sewer.

Suddenly alone on the first floor of the supposed haunted house, Kintu takes a wary look about the room before stepping outside and making his way for Book Wyrms Treasures 

Dihek'nir runs back down the stairs, "Hold up Kintu, I'll come with you!"

Dihek'nir would be looking at everything possible to see if there's aaaany hint anywhere about what is a mindflayer doing in Waterdeep. Has that happened before? If so how was it resolved? Who would be the best person to talk to about it? etc..

Steam and Steel - Smoke and steam billow out from a few of the windows around this indoor forge, a bell above the door rings as SP and Dolf  head inside.  You both see a Fire Genasi and a Water Genasi behind a long counter that separates the room, they are both working on crafting a longsword, the Fire Genasi holds the blade into a large furnace a and brings it out for the Water Genasi to hit with a large hammer.  When they see you come inside they set down their work and the Water Genasi comes to greet you, "Welcome folks, name's Avi, what brings you to Steam and Steel today?"

Bathroom - Dihek'nir goes and has a nice long pee in the bathroom upstairs.

Book Wyrms Treasures - The front of this bookstore is adorned with a charming sign of a gold dragon curled around a treasure hoard of books and scrolls. Inside, the shop is decorated with beautiful hardwood, and the earthy scent of old books permeates the air. A library fills the first two floors of this three-story building, and it somehow seems to contain more shelves than the building should be able to hold. Kintu and Dihek'nir see a human woman browsing the shelves, and a short gold Dragonborn man sitting at a desk near the front. "Hello there sir, take a look around, let me know if you need anything."

"Hello Avi, my name is E5P10NAG3... I would like to sell you this fine scimitar and browse your wares.." The warforged will say placing the weapon on the counter.

Kintu walks up to the desk and inspects the dragonborn for a few moments before retrieving a spell book. "How much would this fetch? I'd love to copy the spells into my own, but the price per spell is too high."

Avi offers you 20g for the scimitar and shows you some of the weapons available. (any metal weapon from the Player's Handbook at normal cost)

"If you don't see what you're looking for here, We can always make something custom, but it takes time, and money."  Avi says with a smile.

"I will take it!" SP will say with a smile. before rummaging through his backpack looking for anything else he may have looted from the server.. Eventually he will pull out the orb he recovered and place it on the counter... "You interested in this? If nothing else you could use it as a nice counter weight as part of a fancy weapon hilt." The warforged will say.

Greetings Avi, you've met my warforged friend,  I'm Dolph.  New to the area, we actually just took up residence nearby in the 'haunted' manor. I'm a fighter by trade, recently out of the service looking to make a mark on the world. I wanted to meet you as I'm sure to have need of your services over time....I was also curious if you had any work that needed doing for yourselves or anyone local really.  

Dolf begins to browse the shop as he finishes speaking.
