(OOC: Gundren did take the ration you offered, sorry if i didn't make that clear in my previous post.) Gundren Rockseeker: (to Misty) "Like i said before, its a bit of a family secret. If the legend is true, it should lead to something valuable."
Gundren Rockseeker: (to Gimble) "I do believe that drow woman, or creature, whatever it was/is, was working for the black spider. The black spider must have wanted the goblins to do something for them."
Gundren Rockseeker: (to Stannic) "I will need to get some more supplies and get them to the rest of the venture group. My brothers and I have a lot invested in this. So i hope to see if this map is true and get some of my investment back with something of value... As for the drow, or creature, whatever it was. I have no idea. I have never seen such a thing. I do not think it is the black spider character. Why pose as a servant of yourself? I don't think the goblins are smart enough to negotiate so well that the mystery creature would need to deceive them that much."

Gimble responds to Gundren. “Do you think your map has anything to do with why you were taken? How many know about your little treasure hunt? Any willing to risk taking it from you?”
Stannic nods at Gimble’s questions “A map to something of value and an old family secret. Could be dangerous if stories and rumors begin to spread. Best to be careful.”
He turns to the others in the group “Now that you have found your Dwarf, what next?”
Gundren Rockseeker: (to Gimble) "Only myself and my brothers know of the map. Our hirelings just know we are trying to find a location and what it contains might be valuable."
Gundren Rockseeker: (to Gimble and Stannic) "If all goes well when we get back to the city, I hope that you brave adventurers could escort us to the map's location."

“Well, I’m game to see what the trouble was all about. But for now,” (Gimble stands and stretches) “I think I better get some rest before my watch.”
@the party, As the conversations die down, and Gimble suggesting the party get some rest, most head to bed. Gimble takes the first watch, it is quiet and he feels certain there are no dangers present. Misty and her pet owl Sebastian, relieve Gimble so she can take over watching the camp. Misty does not spot anything of note during her watch. Sebastian sees a Lynx, the Lynx doesnt get near the camp, likely afraid of people. Eventually Stannic takes over the watch and Misty returns to bed. Its quite chilly at this point of the night but nothing life threatening occurs.
@the party, the next morning, the party gets up at dawn as they usually do. The party enjoys the morning portion of their ration (OOC: roll a survival check to see if you manage to hunt something down to eat if you do not have a ration, or ask if someone could give you a ration.) After the meal, the party sets off back to Emberhorn City. You have already made good progress yesterday and the party expects to arrive back in the city fairly soon. After 5 hours of travel the party makes it out of the Triboar Trail and can see the city in the distance. The familiar farms and homesteads appear as they did when you left. People going in and out of the city gates can be seen.
@Stannic, (OOC: I do not remember if your character has been to a major city in Gallia before or not. And if we have not discussed that yet, we should do so.)
@the party, (OOC: what does everyone do? I assmue you head to the gate and enter the city, after that what is everyone's plan/intentions)
(OOC: date July 28th. time 12:00 p.m.) (OOC 2: technically time for the midday meal, but since the party is so close to the city, i figured the party would wait until they got back to the inn.)

(OOC before we would have left, I can’t remember if Gimble was in a bandit outfit or not. If he was he would have switched out of it before moving towards the city)
“Well, when we get in there, I need to see a guy at the Sleeping Giant. He mentioned gold if we were able to clear the goblins. Was there anything else we needed? Obviously a good meal, a good bath, and maybe a visit to the shop to cash in on some of the trinkets we’ve found along the way.”
Gimble turns to Gundren. “Would you prefer any of us stick with you? If that map of yours is a reason you were taken, it stands to reason that anyone in the city that knows if it, may be after you too.”
@ Gimble, (OOC: You were attempting to join Mr. Chin's organization, which seems nefarious but you haven't done anything illegal or immoral so far.)
@the party, Gundren Rockseeker: (to Gimble, but the party can hear) "I just need to know where you would all like to meet up so i can pay you for the reward of rescuing me. I was also interested in hiring you to escort me and my hirelings to where the map leads. If neither interests you all, I will be on my way. I feel safe within the city walls. I was attacked on the way to this city, so i have doubts that anyone within knows about it, unless they are treasure hunting folks that believe in fairy-tales and legends."

Stannic was mostly quiet as they traveled that morning, taking special note as the countryside changed from forest and rolling hills to farmland. He stops occasionally to inspect and collect something that catches his eye, a polished stone here, a feather there, even an abandoned sparrow’s nest.
He pauses and lets out an appreciative whistle as the city gates come into view. “Would you look at that. I’ve never seen a city so big.” He looks at the group, “And you have been here before? You have business inside?”
Gimble smiles as he turns to look back to see Stannic just seeing the city.
”We sure do. But the gate can be pretty rough to get through. They usually have fights at the gate, but only the winners are allowed in. Are you prepared? Cuz if not we may have to bribe our way in.”
Gimble lets it sit there for a momnent, then says, “I’m just kidding. You only need an ID card of sorts. And the city will give us a great chance to rest and restock.”
The city itself is built into a mountain side, so there are levels to it, making it seem larger than it is, but it is quite large. It is a walled city, near the top is an opening in the mountain, at a slightly lower level and to the side is the Palace. There are other things that stand out, but that is what you take in at a glance. You can see people going in and out of the city gates, there are two guards standing next to the gate, as well as some patrolling on the walls.

“A fight to get in..” Stannic looks at Gimble in surprise, then breaks out into a small grin when he realizes he is joking with him.
“I am not familiar with the city, Master Gundren, and would have no idea where to meet. Perhaps my companions know a place,.” He looks at the party “You don’t mind if I stay along with you, do you? You can show me something of the city. Well then, let’s see about this card.” Stannic approaches one of the guards at the bustling gate, trying to stay out of the way to avoid being jostled by the crowd. “Excuse me good sir, can you give me a card?”
Misty is smiling as they enter the city, glad to be back to civilization once again. She turns to Gundren Rockseeker as he mentions finding them to get them their payment...
"I'll be at the Stone Hill Inn." She informs him. "You can get me payment there and I can make sure everyone gets their split of the payment." She shrugs then. "As far as escorting you to follow your map, I don't see an issue with it, but will want to talk it over with my companions before we agree to anything there."
Misty plans on returning to the inn and getting a hot bath and some food. After that she will help anyone working to sell any loot they may have on them, as well as to learn any news around town.
“Stannic, if you want to go with Misty, she will be ending up at our final destination for rest. Maybe you can hit a shop or two on the way there and then get some creature comforts. You’re more than welcome to come with me but I’m heading into a more unsavory part of town to see a man about some coin. I’ll leave it to you and anyone else to decide. But I will remain until everyone is safely inside the city.”
Gimble moves towards one of the nearest guards. “Excuse me, I wonder if I could inquire about any new that may have come through the gates as of late. I’ve been away on business the past few and am always trying to stay up to date on the scuttlebutt.”
"I will be heading to the temple of Tyr for some news, as well" Casmir tells the group. "I will meet you back at the Inn."
@ Stannic, City Guard: (to Stannic) "Card? You mean you dont have an I.D. Card? Well we'll have to take to go get one." The Guard turns to the other guard and quickly chats with him before returning to you. City Guard: (to Stannic) "Alright sir, follow me, i'll take you to the right place." The guard leads the way. Stannic follows (OOC: I assume), and anyone else who wants to go with him.
@ Misty, You let everyone know that you'll be at the Stone Hill Inn, and thats where the party will be meeting Gundren tomorrow. It does not take you very long to get to the Inn, its not very far into the city and you know your way there. Once inside you order your tub and meal. (OOC: You would need to buy a room for the night, to have access to the tub, which would be 1 gp. The meal would come with the room.) Assuming that is done. You and Toblen carry the tub into your room. He comes back and forth with buckets of hot water until the tub is filled. He informs you that The meal will be ready shortly.
@ Gimble, The guard kind of gives you a look but eventually answers. City Guard: (to Gimble) "I'm a guard, I don't report on the go ons in the city. I keep from extra go ons from happen'in'. If you don't got any immediate problems, bugger off."
@ Casmir, You let your companions know where you are going and you head to the Temple of Tyr. Upon entering the temple you are greeted by a human, Mor Bunav. You've seen him around the temple before but do not know him very well. Mor Bunav: (to Casmir) "Welcome back, Casmir. We've heard tales of your adventures. Have you come to pray, or perhaps you are going to give another generous donation." As you enter the temple you do notice people staying in. People staying at the church is not uncommon, but it does catch your eye. The number of people is not a lot so it is unlikely that anything serious is going on.
(OOC: date July 28th. time 12:15 p.m.) (OOC 2: The party, with the exception of misty, has not made any plans for lunch yet, this is just a reminder. Your characters would be hungry.)

Misty thanks the innkeep for the tub as he finishes filling it. She then waits for her food to arrive, before locking her door and undressing. She slips into the hot water, relaxing and eating her food as she soaks. She would stay in the tub until the water starts to cool, then wash up.
After her bath and food, Misty would head down to the common room. There she would place an order for a glass of wine, and settle back, just listening in to the going ons in the room as she waits for her companions to get to the inn from their various activities.
“Well that was helpful,” Gimble mumbles to himself as he turns and walks away. Seeing the rest of the party quickly dispersed, he shrugs and makes his way over to the Sleeping Giant. He makes sure to keep his eyes and ears open for anything suspect or any markings in thieves cant along the way.

@ Misty, (OOC: depending on what you want, a cheap common wine would come with the room, a slightly better quality would be 5 silver pieces, a good wine would be a gold piece, and if you want a specific drink the price may vary. For listening, give me a perception check.) Toblen: (to Misty) "So back from another adventure? You help make the area a safer place? Perhaps you brought back some treasure."
@ Gimble, As you travel through the city you do not see any new signs in thieves cant (OOC: the party was gone from the city for a day and a half, so not very long). Plenty of people going about on their day. You eventually enter the poor quarter (OCC: thats not what it is officially called but thats how most refer it as.) and into The Sleeping Giant Tap House. Grista eyes you as you enter. There are more people in here than last time. (OOC: it was mostly empty last time and you made a note about it.) Interestingly enough you do see Mr. Chin there sitting in a dark corner, eating a meal.

Gimble walks up to the bar, nodding to Mr Chin. He eyes the inside to see what the demeanor of the people is.

”Hey Grista, how are you doing today? Busy is hoppin I see. Is Mr Chin available?”
