Elias smiles, Good question, I am happy see you are all learning. Keep those same wits about you when you meet with the nobleman. Yes I can tell you a little bit more. The area in question has a pretty bleak history. Supposedly a form king was a tyrannical ruler at some point in their history and after much grief they finally revolted. While on his execution block, he uttered a curse to come to fruition some time in the future. Supposedly some bandits or cultists, that is for you to discover, are trying to bring this curse to life. The Curse is as quoted to me "Varnholme is mine in life - it shall remain mine in death. I shall return and restore glory to my kingdom. Then you will know the coldest winter - then you will suffer the slowest, surest death."
Oran leans over and takes a peek at the smithwork of Elias's scimitar, "righteous," He mutters under his breath. Then realizes he is getting distracted again and tunes back in.
"I'd like to know more about the journey ahead of us and what sites we may see on the way. Does this map you have help us in any way?"
((Having a hard time getting an image to upload for some reason. The mercenary camp is on the opposite side of Neverwinter forest from the city of Neverwinter, and the job is basically straight north into the snow cap if you look up an image of the sword coast you should be able to understand what I am describing.))
Elias nods and indicates on the map We are here at the base, and job is basically north of here up into the snow cap. And as for where you will meet the nobleman that answer was in the curse and the ultimate destination is Varnholme. He takes out a small purse and hands to whomever takes it. You all are quite lucky, the client has gone ahead and given you all traveling funds and partial advance on the job being completed. Inside this purse is 30gp, enough for 6 pieces each. Much more when this whole ordeal is over.
Davoris nods excited to have a mission then inquires "Is there any equipment the order can provide? Like climbing gear, warm clothes or healing potion?...Also is there any where we could read up on the history of the area to find if there's any historical validity to this Former Frost king?"
Chester sits quietly for once, mainly out of respect and fear of Elias, in one of the chairs in front of the desk and only standing to get a glimpse of the map and giving a gleeful laugh as the money is produced. Finally he pipes up, "So are we walking? I do hope you have a wagon or horses for us, maybe a pony for me as a horse maybe a wee bit big. Not that I would complain if we're walking."
Elias nods to Davoris, Yes if you would like speak to Alita the quartermaster and she will give you warmer clothes and possibly a couple smaller health potions, along with whatever gear we feel you will need. And in short Chester, yes you will be walking. You all have your choice of going your own way, or going with a small contingent from Mirabar. It is nothing more that a few dwarves and a medium sized (for dwarves) cart they used to bring in some metal for our smiths. If that is all I am starting to feel hungry and I heard Ozrox was the cook tonight, I can never turn down his cooking. He made adventuring a lot easier when we were younger.
((Sultrin I will need a sleight of hand check, I will warn that Elias being very high level and running an organization specifically for reforming criminals that it will be very hard to go unnoticed.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Sleight of hand: 13
(Sultrin would do it more out of absent minded habit than any malicious intent, it probably also would not be the first time it has happened, I imagine he’d usually be caught.)
Davoris bows to Elias as he begins to leave the room "Thank you sir the supplies will most definitely help enjoy your meal." then on the way out catching Sultrin by the shoulder he says rather loudly "Come on friend adventure and riches await!" as he steers him out the door away from the item he was trying to pocket giving a knowing unsaid nod of "leave it or your deflinaly get caught". "Besides the lovely quartermaster awaits."
Respect fully bowing his head, "and you as well." Knowing this may or may not be the correct response, Oran tries to be respectful in face of the gods. "Onwards!" He says as he heads to the quartermaster.
(Went ahead and rolled IRL for what you got in here and you all lucked out haha))
You all head back to the first floor and in the office of the quartermaster you see a petite woman standing behind a counter looking like she is checking her inventory. She is a smaller woman with a tight blond ponytail and intense green eyes. She is wearing tight black leather armor she has a rapier on one hip and a string of dagger strapped to her chest 3 in total. Hear you all come in she looks up and nods to you all. Ah the newest initiates at last. Are you here to gear out for your first true mission? Then let's look at what we have. First we have winter clothes for everyone, climbing gear, rations for a few weeks, and Elias said to give you a few healing potions but he never specified which and how many so I pulled 5 healing and 1 greater healing. He might not like it later but you all will be long gone by then, and I learned long ago while we were adventuring Elias' bark is worse than his bite if you aren't his enemy. If you leave your things here with me I will have my people pack your things efficiently and they will be ready before you need to leave in the morning.
She really enjoyed your performance, she was kind of shocked at how well you did. But seeing as how she has already given your group more than they normally give group going out on their first adventure. And being a former adventurer with Elias in their old days she doesn't want to tick him to badly.

Any other questions?
„Yes Sir, In what city or Village can we find thais Noblemen, and when can we start?“

Sultrin will nod to Elias and head out the door to start gathering his belongings, pocketing the model he'd been looking at as he goes.

Durim takes the figurine out of Sultrins hand and puts it back, without saying a word or looking back.
Passiv perception 15
Elias gives a nod to Davoris, and knowing smile to Sultrin. There is always a way forward my friends. May Sarenrae guide you all.
Respect fully bowing his head, "and you as well." Knowing this may or may not be the correct response, Oran tries to be respectful in face of the gods. "Onwards!" He says as he heads to the quartermaster.
Chester follows the others only turning to give Elias a cheerful wave goodbye, “This May take awhile on these legs”.

Sultrin will drop his gear off, "Thank you, ma'am," and head off for an early night to get start bright and early in the morning.
Giving over his gear Chester smiles, "You know I could never say no to you Alita, i just have to return with my Lute and maybe a song for you."
Will return to the Quatermaster later that day with is lute and a few other items, sing to her and try to get any extra gear
Performance check 13
Persuasion check 13
Oran will thank the quartermaster for her good faith drop his stuff of and head to bed. He wants to wake early to catch the sunrise.
She really enjoyed your performance, she was kind of shocked at how well you did. But seeing as how she has already given your group more than they normally give group going out on their first adventure.

((Sorry guys, we are short handed at work today, I will update when i get a moment start your next leg of the journey.))
