“ Pretty good with moving toward the new target. Last one didn’t sit well with me. Simeon - tell me more about yourself. What motivates you to adventure?”, Garu asks interestedly.
"Yes, Garu, a fair question," begins Simeon. "Within this city there is safety and security, but it is not so in other places on Rikirta. I have been shaped by an evil that fell upon Ersetsu when I was a child. The only survivor from my family, I eventually learned the nature of that evil--necromancy--and I have committed my existence to standing against such things. I have long hoped that the day might finally come for me to recover some memories from Ersetsu and its caverns...memories of my parents, siblings, and a kind old gnome that took me in and raised me as if I were his own child. Possibly, by joining a band of adventurers, I might achieve this dream."
Harmony listened as Simeon had heard about how they defeated the ice basilisk and the lack of those with valor, wanting to align with like-minded people. She nodded in agreement with everyone else as they talked about how they could always use another ally since Aisha had wanted to stay behind. "Yeah, the more the merrier!" she had said happily. Then Garu asked Simeon what motivates him, listening intently and shocked to hear that he had been shaped by evil that fell on his home as a child, being an only survivor and how he wants to recover his memories of his parents, siblings, and the gnome who took him in and raised him. Harmony quickly went over and took Simeon's hands in hers, smiling gently. "Wow, that is so terrible! Of course you can join us then! No one should be without their memories, especially good ones of your family and those that loved you." Harmony had said to him, feeling bad for him and thinking of how she has mainly bad memories of her family.
Simeon, slightly surprised by Harmony's effervescent response, nods and offers his gratitude. "That is kind. Thank you."
The wood elf then, as casually as possible, studies Garu's face, then Abraxas's, for he is not altogether certain if Harmony is the group's spokesperson...
"I agree with Harmony. It would be good to have you with us," Abraxas says. "What have you heard about our destination?" he says, looking at Simeon, but also Benedict. "When I was here last, Benedict, you suggested few adventurers return from it."
Garu steps forward, places her hand on Simeon's shoulder. "I get that you have been through some tough time. Welcome to the group. I hope we can rely on each other."

Responding to Abraxas, Simeon says, "Turmaether...it seems I know little more than you do, Abraxas. It's a citadel that lies a few weeks journey from here. Rumors suggest it possesses weapons of light. I know of no one who's ever returned from there."
To Garu, Simeon simply nods and gives a quick smile of gratitude before saying to all, "If you'll have me, then I will do all I can to deserve the honor."
Harmony nodded back at Simeon, smiling and glad to hear that everyone else agreed with letting him join them as she heard him. "So how do we get to Turmaether from here?" she would have called out to Benedict as well, knowing that they need to get going.
"Hmm?" Benedict looks up from a pile of books that he is frantically leafing through. "Oh yes, uh, pretty simple to get there. Follow the coast to the east, should take less than two tendays," he says, his eyes still poring through the books.
Abraxas does some quick mental calculations. "I've enough rations to get there, but not back. Any towns along the way, Benedict? If not, do you sell rations?"
"No, you're heading toward the Fallen Lands, not much out that way but wilderness now," Benedict answers. "Plenty of places in town sell rations, lot of shops closer to the center of town with adventuring gear..." he trails off, still distracting by the information he apparently seeks in the disorganized mess upon the table.
Harmony had heard Benedict before checking her rations as she heard the others, nodding. "Alright. Then let's go back and do some shopping for rations and gear!" she had said to everyone happily with a smile.
As Abraxas shops for rations, he also looks for shops libraries, bookstores, any place he might be able to buy spells. If there aren't any places that would sell such things, he is ready to try the Fallen Lands.
OOC: There are plenty of stores in Lyrikav, and anything that is listed in the Weapons, Armor, and Adventuring Gear tables of the PHB can be purchased at its listed price. Let me know what purchases you would like to make, and I will resolve them all in one go.
There are no magic items available for purchase except for potions of healing, which are in limited supply.
Simeon points out the various shops in Lyrikav that might be of use to the party members; he himself spends twenty gold pieces on a healer's kit, some rations, and 50' of silk rope.

Following Simeon's suggestions, Abraxas will try to purchase two potions of healing and the rations he'll need.

"If we will be traveling a ten-day ride to get there, we should consider mounts," Garu points out.
