The goblin frowns and bares two sets of pointed teeth at the halfling for a second.  "Zurzg eating bacon", he says in reply to Otrov's question, before stuffing another large rasher in his mouth.

She nods her head at Dain figuring he was the leader of the three then her attention turns to the halfling looking her square in the eyes gestures to Zurzg

"Yes this hero's name is Zurzg, he is eating bacon, we've cleared Tresendar Manor killed or ran off the local gang and I do not think we could of done it without him so....."

 She shrugs and sits back down and continues to eat and drink

Otrov peeks out from Dain's back to look warily at the goblin, "Zurzg...share...bacon?" Otrov asks optimistically, eyebrow cocked slightly, the smell of the meat making her belly rumble.

While going to draw a crossbow on the goblin merely provoked a baring of teeth, the thought of Zurzg sharing his bacon with something else causes the goblin to hiss loudly at the halfling, before stuffing all remaining rashers on his plate in his mouth, noisily chewing while locking eyes with Otrov.

Margret simply giggles already learning that lesson sticks a fork in some of hers and offers it to Otrov

"I'm sure Sildar will order more and we can eat together."

Relgalyn will try and catch someone's eye to order some more breakfast, bacon included. "So what is next for your heroic group?"

 "Now I see why that one possessed such a thing." Nobody's offhanded comment is accompanied by a soft smile. Looking up afterwards, he goes wide-eyed the second he sees 'new' faces, then looks to Zurzg with a questioning look. Realizing a second later the short Zurzg is however, he turns back to the others with a small, closed smile. "You all turned rather suddenly. Uhm... M-my name is Nobody, in case it hasn't already been, well... established. Heh... Uh...."

He scrunches up his face and for the moment puts away the rod in some hidden holster or pocket of his robe alongside the pearl ring. The other he absently held between both hands. "What is next... hm... I think... There was some talk of a Thundertree yesterday, I think. Or was it Thunder thighs... hmm... I suppose this is what I get for losing myself there -- B-but, we will, er, should be leaving today one way or another... uhm... Is everything alright, Mr. Zurzg?" He asked politely of the goblin, belatedly noting the hints of lingering hostility between goblin and halfling.

"Zurzg's bacon", the goblin confirms after gulping the meat down loudly.  He swiftly produces a scimitar, and proceeds to make a show or picking his teeth with it.

"Good lesson there." Dain says with a nod to the goblin.  "Don't try to take food from our friend there."  Turning to Sildar then.  "Well, we finished the tasks you be setting for us to be doing.  What is next that you be needing doing around these parts?" 

While talking, Sildar signals Toblen for some more food for the newcomers.

„Well, a few days ago a friend of us got kidnaped. We know he was brought to a place called cragmaw castle and we know the general location, but that is still an area of around 80 square miles of forrest. We got a few ideas how to narrow it down, the question is, wich one do you want to persuade?“ The later part was more directed at Margret and Nobody

Dain changes his attention from Sildar to Margret and Nobody.

"Persuade? How so? Oh for them to join us? I see no problems with that. We need the help."

adressing  Dain

'How did you deal with the Manticore?"

"We lured it away from the windmill then attacked it." Dain says with a shrug.  "It then fled from us, but died of wounds before it could get far."

"But anyhoo I was thinking we could ether check with this Falcon the ranger Guy to see if he knows where Castle Cragmaw is as I'm sure a man familiar with this neck of the woods would"

she slips some of her breakfast or brunch to her owl

"Or.. start where my friends said they found Sildar and Gundrums Dead horses and work our way north from there. See if we find any sign of Bugbears."

Nobody slowly nodded, choosing to at least appear to understand things as his gaze drifted back to the others. Still a bit confused, the tieflingly simply gestured with his head over to Margret in regards to his opinion on the new recruits. "Wh-wha? Th-that's like -- Hold on second." Nobody held up a hand in a halting gesture then pinched at the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes. "Okay... Okay... And then... Okay, I got it." His eyes snap back open.

"S-so, while, uh, yer not off track there, Miss Magret, we already have the general area nailed down. Our goblin friend back in the cave helped us there. G-going back so far back is.... well, I'm no tracker, but that'd be a bit too far back. A-and that's assuming that the tracks having eroded to badly from that point by now." He explained. "B-but I'm with you on Falcon the Ranger or what have you. If, hm... waitwaitwaitwait...  Can you repeat all you learned yesterday? J-j-just one more time, Miss Magret? Or M-miss Kai even." He request as he pulls out some kind of pocket book and ink, ready to jot down or perhaps correct previous notes.

If given the full run down again of prior events, he frowns and says, "So... wait, did they not give directions to Thundertree then, or...?" He asked, before adding any corrections. "Hm... Both are a fair bit out a ways. But, uh... My votes in the direction of Thundertree. Could be if that Thel fellow is missing, Redoth might know why... or did I get that mixed up too?"

If NOT given the run down, a befuddled but still amicable just goes along with the trip to Falcon Lodge idea.

[I will assume the party relates to us 3 new members rumors they have heard on the previous pages]

Signaling for some bacon of her own and asking for some more for the road, Otrov pops her head around, “Well, have you already talked to this Linene person?  They live right here in town, perhaps a couple could go ask him first before searching for Falcon?  I do think having a ranger guide is an excellent idea.”

Otrov’s mind wanders for a bit and her eyes kind of glaze over, the mention of a castle and all the shiny, attendant trinkets and goodies that might be found therein playing on her mind.  She snaps back to reality at the sloshing and smacking of the goblin devouring the meat.  She raises an eyebrow at the display and nods in response to Magret, “Hero, eh?  Uh huh, if you say so.”  

Otrov grins at the tiefling before adding, “Nobody huh?  Nice to meet you.  I’m sure Somebody was your mother and Whomever your father - or is it the other way around? Have you asked Anybody for help?!”  The halfling can’t keep her laughter in and allows it to escape, surely to the consternation of the others.  As she trails off, she notices the blue-skinned genasi and darts over towards her.  “Ooh, wow!  Look at your pretty skin!  Can I touch it? Can I?  I’m gonna touch it!  Is it water or skin?  Ice?  Where are you from?  Are you from the clouds? The sea?  Can you swim really good?”  For better or worse, Otrov puts a finger out towards Kai’s exposed skin, squinting one eye as if an explosion was about to go off, her finger slooooooowly inching towards the genasi...

Dain shakes his head, amused at Odtrov's antics.  Turning to the new group though he listens to the rumors they had learned recently.  "Seems like a few different options on where to go next."  Dain says.  "You have been on this trail longer than me, so which do you guys think the best option right now?"

"Well, we learnt of the ruins of Connyberry from Sister Garaele. She said there is an evil spirit, a banshee named Agatha that exists north of there ... Garaele said that she has a millennia of knowledge Sister Garaele  was looking for a spell book of the legendary dancing mage bowgentle and heard if you flatter Agatha's vanity with a gift she would give such information fortunately in my opinion this spirit didn't show for Garaele"

Linene sent us to Darren Edermath a man who has an Orchard here in town and a retired adventurer. We went and had some apple tea. He heard of the castle but didn't know where it was. But said it was part of a ancient defense. l suppose when Phandalin was a bigger town, you see we stayed in a abandoned schoolhouse the first nights we were here cause of the redbrands

But anyhow but he knew that it was part of the same defense line as the wizard tower at Old Owls Well. That Tower is only a ruin now, he said we should go there and look for clues she points to it on the map. 

Elmar told us about Raidoth, an elven druid visits the village from time to time, he would know where the castle is. But Elmar didn’t see him for nearly a month. Last time he saw him, was in the Stonehill inn, where he was talking with Thel Dendrar. Thel Dendraris the  husband of the woman we rescued from the redbrands. He is still missing and Mirna and Sildar suspect the worse. But Mirna told us that her husband and Raidoth were talking about Thundertree, a village near Mt Hoatenow that got destroyed nearly 30 years ago when the volcano erupted. Raidoth was looking for information about the village, because the Forrest around the ruins started to change recently, in an unnatural way. Raidoth wanted to find out what happened there. Thel and Mirna both grew up in the village before their families had to flee to Neverwinter.  Mirna told us where in Thundertree her family used to live and where they have hidden a very valuable heirloom.  She said If we are able to retrieve it, it would be ours.

And Halia suggested to find Falcon the Ranger.

Speaking of which Sildar how do we find this Falcon guy?"

„I don‘t know him, but it looks like someone marked his whereabout on your map though. We can not waste to much time, so i would suggest to visit Falcon, he is closest to where we suspect Cragmaw Castle, so if he knows where it is, that would be the fastes way. Or you try to capture a goblin patrol. But you would need some luck for that i think.“

As the conversation stretches on, Relgalyn pulls out his lute and begins to play more of his horribly off key, arhythmic music with a look of satisfaction, “Whatever you guys decide is fine, just let me know when its time to leave.”
