"Always the docks. I do not know Waterdeep well but is there an area where they tinker with things, make things of metal, maybe even combine magic with the mundane to animate it?"
" Temple of Gond and surrounds....but we've already been there. I'm just thinking warehouses are quiet and generally easy to hide in if this thing is scared."
Kestrell gets noticeably more cheery the higher up the mountain they go. "Would you look at this! Man it feels great to get out of the city!"
Once they reach the top, he wanders around until he finds a spot with a view of the bay, opens up his pack and takes out his blanket and spreads it on the ground.
Then takes his waterskin, and a pair of rations out of the pack. "Ladies! How about a little bite to eat before we head back down? Let's enjoy the relative solitude and the smell of griffon dung!"
" What have you got Kestrell?"
" I mean me and Phaedra could probably do with a footrub....."
"Maybe this thing is always on the move too. We could be passing by it like ships in the night."
"A foot rub?!? Don't take your boots off here, we may have to run on short notice!"
"It's just your standard ration-fare. Let's see, there's some dried venison and hard tack, oooh a little cheese, and even an apple still in relatively good shape."
Phaedra soon get's a little board, never being on to sit will patiently. Taking the device, she will start to wander around but generally remains within eyeshot of the others.

Phaedra soon get's a little board, never being on to sit will patiently. Taking the device, she will start to wander around but generally remains within eyeshot of the others.
One of the times that Phaedra wanders back, Kestrell says "You've got to learn how to relax, kiddo! Take a deep breath, take a look around. Feel the flow. Circular."
"Relax. I can relax just fine but this city does not bread relaxation. We are in the middle of everything and yet know nothing more than the minimum. And half the thing I once new I either need to unlearn or adjust because... well... I feel like I'm acting like my mother. Seeing everything in black and white."

And half the thing I once new I either need to unlearn or adjust because... well... I feel like I'm acting like my mother. Seeing everything in black and white."
"I agree. Cities are not conducive to relaxing. And, it is good to always be learning and adjusting what we know. In the woods, if you don't adapt you just might wind up dead!"
"That is not what I meant, Kestrell. You know my mother is a paladin of Helm, in the service of the kingdom of Elturgard. Everything is always so simple for her. It is either right or wrong, good or evil. Nothing exists outside of that twin choice. Elon for instance, it would not matter to her what was going on within the Zhents. Zhent's have committed evil and should be stopped. If one or two of them have a slightly different ideology, well they should have figured out what there group was about before they meet the sharp end of her sword."
"The Grulhunds... how can the city simply sit by and allow worshippers of Asmodeus to live here? They follow evil! Mother would never stand for that. It was the taint of evil and it's acceptance that first lead Elturgard astray, before the kingdom was set once again on a path of purity."
"Speaking of... would it be worth asking around is these cultists of Asmodeus have more of a foothold in Waterdeep than we think?"

Selinae shook her head, " Maybe we should ask amongst folks we know if anyone has seen anything."
" I'll take some venison."
OOC: About how long do you stay on top of the mountain? Do you do anything other than have a picnic?

OOC: Until Phaedra tells us what to do. Sel and Kes are just the knuckleheads.
We'll stay to watch the sunset. Just a picnic, and the occasional look around.
Are there any griffon keepers or anyone else to talk to up there, or are they all staying away?
You see some coming and going overhead, get the random wave from one but none come to where you are.

Kestrell waves back, as appropriate.

"Do you think a griffon rider would be willing to do a quick sweep over the city with the device?"
One of the times that Phaedra wanders back, Kestrell says "You've got to learn how to relax, kiddo! Take a deep breath, take a look around. Feel the flow. Circular."
Kestrell smacks his forehead. "That's a great idea!"
OOC: So are y'all still going back down the mountain and to the docks or are you approaching the Peaktop Aerie?

Selinae nods to Kestrell and begins walking towards the Aerie.
Phaedra follows.
"Relax. I can relax just fine but this city does not bread relaxation. We are in the middle of everything and yet know nothing more than the minimum.

Kestrell stands, shakes the crumbs from his blanket before packing it up and then follows Selinae and Phaedra up towards the Aerie.
"I agree. Cities are not conducive to relaxing. And, it is good to always be learning and adjusting what we know. In the woods, if you don't adapt you just might wind up dead!"
"How long has your mother been color blind?"
Phaedra rolls her eyes.
"That is not what I meant, Kestrell. You know my mother is a paladin of Helm, in the service of the kingdom of Elturgard. Everything is always so simple for her. It is either right or wrong, good or evil. Nothing exists outside of that twin choice. Elon for instance, it would not matter to her what was going on within the Zhents.

" Despite Barnabus' reassurances I still worry about the Gralhund children brought up in such a cult..."
" Honestly your Mothers viewpoint sounds like a lot less work........things are simple and straighforward for her........not so much for us."
She waved as they approached the Aerie, hoping to attract attention....
"Ah, I see."
"That's true, Selinae, it would be more straightforward for her. But probably not for her children and growing up with that rigidness, aye Phaedra?"
"Yes, we should ask around and see if the cultists of Asmodeus have more of a foothold in Waterdeep. Good idea!"
