“No, it’s okay, I’ll be fine, and actually I’d rather I be there in case something goes haywire and you need my help. Let’s go to see her to check out the shield, and then the store so Maldorn can shop, I don’t really need anything and don’t have much gold to buy anything anyway. Then the cemetery?”
Jambiya looks at Erric carefully as he says all this, and at the end she growls, “I will take that woman and plant her upside down and water her feet if she does anything, Erric. No way you’re going in there without me. We all stick together.”

The party follows the local's directions. They take them north through the city's market square and over the river using a bridge carved in the likeness of a wyvern with extended wings. They look at the two other bridges flanking this one — one on each side — and note that it doesn't look like much has been accomplished in their reconstruction since their last visit to Neverwinter. The party walks around the majestic castle, noting that there is quite a bit more visible security on this side of the river, and enter the Bluelake District. One more check of the location of the address with a passing guard, and Ebokk leads his friends to the address. Without pausing, he knocks on the door. After a short wait, there is the click of a lock being undone, and the door opens just enough for two eyes to peer out at the visitors. Though there isn't much light falling on the individual through the gap, it clearly is not a gnome. The eyes are at the height of a medium-sized creature, and the hand which holds onto the door is made up of thick, gray-skinned fingers. "May I help you?" a deep, but feminine voice asks coldly.
“She knows us, and will want to speak with us. We shared a journey on a ship a while back,”Erric says, leaning out from behind Jambiya. He swallows. “I am Erric.”
There isn't a verbal response to Erric or Maldorn's answers, but the door shifts just a little to allow whoever it is to see them better. But when Ebokk says his name, the door opens fully, and a female half-orc smiles down at the dwarf. "That is a name I know," she says, her face soft with a smile. "Yes, she's here. Please, come in, and I'll let her know you are here." She steps back and looks at each of the travelers, clearly inviting them into the home. Ebokk leads the group in, first entering a small foyer. The left and right walls of paneled wood are decorated with two large landscape paintings. Ahead is another door — this one left open — flanked by two stained glass windows. The light on the other side is dim, and his eyes are still adjusted to the sunlight, so it's hard for Ebokk to really make out what the assembled pieces of glass depict, but it looks colorful. The dwarf continues through and, a little hesitantly, steps out of the foyer and into the next room. This room is a large, two-story central room with a winding staircase up to a balcony, multiple doors (some open, some closed), a small sitting area with what appear to be two cozy couches, various decorations — suits of armor, paintings, busts, a large armoire with glass doors full of trinkets, and weapons displayed in pleasing configurations — and a huge (if slightly worn) carpet depicting Castle Never.
The last of the party enters the large room, and the half-orc closes the interior door behind them. "Please have a seat. Can I get you something to drink while you wait?" She crosses to a chest and opens it to reveal a wet bar. She provides whatever is asked of her and then excuses herself to retrieve Eilikasys, who she calls by name.
Jambiya loses a little of her bluster as they are welcomed into the home. She lets out a little sigh as the bar is opened, but turns down the option for a drink with a polite thank you.

Erric also looks aw if he'd like a drink more than anything right now, but, and perhaps it's Jambiya's polite refusal that reminds him, he also politely declines. He looks at the stained glass windows to see if they are more interesting than the landscape paintings.
"Your name opens doors, Mr. Lockforge,"he says, after there's been a bit of quiet.
Maldorn enters and, once again, finds himself feeling a little awkward inside a fancy house. He refuses the offer for a drink with a slowly rising hand and sits where indicated. For now, he just waits.
Responding to Erric. Indeed, mother has worked hard to keep the name in high regard. Or perhaps our adventures have become known here. He says with a smirk.
Well im not gonna turn down some ale if you have some.
That said he will not sit down yet and be eager to take the drink, Ebokk will then wander around the room browsing and taking a gulp of ale every few steps. His attention will go to the suits of armor.
The half-orc hands Ebokk his drink and disappears through a door as Erric is examining the stained glass from the inside. Though the front door is closed, the dim light on both sides, and the fact that his eyes have adjusted to interior illumination, helps him to see that both are depictions of sky and sea. One features a sailing vessel while the other is of a deceptively lovely mermaid. "Your name opens doors, Mr. Lockforge," he says, after there's been a bit of quiet.
"Indeed," responds Ebokk, "Mother has worked hard to keep the name in high regard. Or perhaps our adventures have become known here. He says with a smirk." The dwarf wanders around the room, browsing and taking a gulp of ale every few steps. His attention turns to the suits of armor. One is clearly dwarven. One is taller and a little thinner — for perhaps a human or elf.
After only a couple of minutes, the door the half-orc left through opens again, and an older female gnome steps through. She is dressed in clothes more suited for work than leisure, but the quality is still impressive and immediately gives off the air of money. Her long, white hair has been tucked behind her pointed ears, but otherwise left to hang down her back. Her eyes almost immediately land upon Ebokk, and she gives the dwarf a genuine smile. "It's good to see you," she says, crossing to clasp Ebokk's free hand in both of hers. "What brings you to my doorstep?"
Ebokk indicates his companions and gives a little summary of their trip into the Vault, leaving out everything interesting, knowing she wouldn't care to hear about their adventure. She never wanted the story behind his father's treasures. She always said the items had to speak for themselves. As he speaks, she turns and gives the others a nod, clearly recognizing them, and not giving any one of them anymore attention than the others before turning back to Ebokk. "So, you'd like me to look at some treasure," she says, getting down to business, but still sounding friendly. "Are you looking for a buyer or simply a price?" She walks over and sits on the empty couch, clearly expecting Ebokk to sit beside her.
(going by Jambiya's list in this post, the things i dont mention is what we intended to keep as far as i know)
Ebokk looks at the others a moment as Eilikasys only somewhat glances at the others. Unaware of any issues he shrugs it off for the moment and sits down next to the gnome.
It is good to see you as well he says with a smile We have some things that are not known to us, perhaps you could tell us what they are.He pulls the shield from his bag and hands it to Eilikasys.
Ebokk then turns to Erric Show her the scrolls, they might contain some powerfull magic. he thinks to himself a moment Oh and the pearls, we could use a price on those.
Looking at the others again, Do we have something else to show her?
Ebokk then takes another gulp of ale as he waits her reply
“No, it’s okay, I’ll be fine, and actually I’d rather I be there in case something goes haywire and you need my help.

"Sounds good. First stop, Eli... hmm... Ei.... hmm.. Yes, that lady's home."
(not sure if i know what happened with Eilikasys and Erric, well i know i dont but not sure if Ebokk knows anything bout that)
Alright we will go to her first then shop or cemetary. Ebokk says.
He rubs his beard a moment thinking bout what happened to Erric. Stay close to us and you'll be fine. Shes a business woman and we got goods.

Maldorn simply waits politely for others to speak on behalf of the group. He makes sure Sagitta is comfortably hidden in one of his large pockets.
Ebokk takes a step back as he does not see who he expects. Uh yes, we were looking for Eilikasys. Does she live here?
He leans to the side to try and get an angle where he can see the creature a bit better.
Jambiya is standing protectively sort of in front of Erric.

The female pauses for a second, then responds to Ebokk's question in a tone of voice more full of curiosity than malice, "Who might you be?"
Looking at the face a little longer, Ebokk is pretty sure he can see tusks rising from the lower lip.
“She knows us, and will want to speak with us. We shared a journey on a ship a while back,” Erric says, leaning out from behind Jambiya. He swallows. “I am Erric.”
"And escorted her to her destination safely," Maldorn adds from the back.
Ebokk nods as the others state how we know her. And i am Ebokk Lockforge. She knows who we are, of that i have no doubt.
Seeing the tusks he repeats his question trying to see if he can determine the creatures intentions. Is Eilikasys here?
