"Very well." The Growler says, taking a look at the contract. "I'll pay ye 1000 gold pieces up front,and another 1000 gold upon your return." She considers, then adds, "And, I'll need ye to purchase some wagons while in Phandalin, and bring back some supplies we be needing here. I'll be making ye a list of what be needed, and send another 1000 gold pieces with ye to cover those expenses."
The Growler nods and hands the contract to Aria. "Make all of that official and I'll sign the thing." She says. (Assuming this is all satisfactory, and no one wishes to try to talk her into more, I'll move things along in ten or so hours. Just want to give time for any responses to the specifics of the deal.)
Seruk nods his agreements, "Is there anything we should know about transporting giant goats? And are there any particular threats we should be alert to?"
"I don't be knowing of anything specific as far as threats go." The Growler says with a frown. "Aint saying there isn't going to be dangers between here and there, but that is why we be hiring the lot of you isn't it?" She gives an anoyed grunt. "I can tell ye that Pinchwit is wanting to keep the goats off of the road, so you'll be heading cross-country from here to Phandalin. Going to be about a week's travel there, though you'll be able to make it bback in a day or so once you don't have the goats to keep moving."
Bella There are no poisons for sale in the small community of Leilon. You can try to harvest some from the marshland if you wish, if so please give me a nature or survival check.
Reginald Normal Healing Potions as well as Greater Healing Potions are available in town. You can purchase them for their listed prices.
Bella When you ask around about giant goats, every person you ask points you to Pinchwit, as the local expert. When you approach Pinchwit though they are too-busy, working to get the goats ready for moving out in the morning, to answer questions.
After getting your supplies gathered, and having one last night's rest in your Leilon office, you are ready to go.
Before you leave one of the workers approaches you. "If you can attach this to a door in the Phandalin Office HQ, we can attune it to one of the doors in our office here in Leilon." The man says, holding out a small disk. "Once attached, and attuned, we can then activate the portal, which will allow immediate travel between this office and the one in Phandalin." He gives a smile. "Your trip back should be a lot quicker this way, a single step instead of miles of travel."
As the man finishes speaking a sound comes to your ear, that of many, many, hooved feet. A couple hundred giant goats come stomping towards you, with Pinchwit Wigglehoof herding them.

Bella nods her understanding and walks away…but only as far as necessary to get out of site. She then returns, using her magic and stealth as necessary to get close to the man’s home or place of business or whatever. There was more than one way to acquire things.
[OOC: Before leaving waiting to see what happens with Bella before we leave.]
Reginald looks at the approaching herd of goats with some awe, "That's a lot of goats." Then he turns to Last tree, "You will have your hands full." And smiles and laughs and she finishes getting things ready to move.
[OOC: Not buying any potions as I do not have a lot of money, will make due with what we have.]
Bella You can easily get to the goat farmer's homestead. It is a sprawling affair, with a barn, large pens for the goats, and various other buildings related to the care of the goats. Looking around though you don't, right away, spot the living area of the gnome. Please give me an investigation or perception check if you take time to search for the gnome's house.

Bella perks up at the mention of so much gold. Much could be done with such money. Perhaps she could arrange a little bonus for herself.

"Sounds like we have a deal." Reginald says, "We will head out at first light and be on our way."
Reginald will spend the rest of the day gathering what travel supplies he might need, food and what not and be ready to go in the morning.
He will also inquire about the possibility of the town having any healing potions.
Anyone else have anything they wish to do prior to heading out in the morning?
Bella looks around for poisons that can be...acquired. And also for any information on giant goats.

Seruk would gather his gear and prepare to leave when the others are ready.
Aria finishes up with the contract before secreting it away into her bag. She will quickly pack and get ready once everyone else is ready to go.
Crexibis nods, he is ready to go when the others are.

Bella...
Search as you like, you don't seem to be able to find the hidden entrance to the gnome's house.
Gnashing her teeth in angry frustration, Bella returns to the others and finishes preparing her gear for the mission.
