Stilgar looks around but does not see anything that he could grab easily.
The shopkeeper looks a bit concerned at Ash's response and replies "I could of swore I locked the door but maybe I am just a bit forgetful in my older age. Oh well goodness, I know you guys left in a hurry this morning, but I am surprised at the early return.Come, come! She is just down the hallway."
She steps out of the way motioning her arm for you to advance down to the room where you met with Olana this morning.
The group heads down to the cellar and finds Olana laying on her bed reading. Seeing you walk in she says "Back so soon? How exciting! Well show me what you got."
Olana looks at the black book and then at the pile of books on the table and says "Well I suppose they are gonna quickly realize someone stole from them. This black book is the one we required, these other books are history books and other oddities. I'm sure you can fetch a fair price at a general store. Did you tell them any information that could lead them back to us?"
"It may be wise to tell the local bars to hold on to their reserves of pickles for awhile. Other than that, their attention should be directed to Odaigo, I believe." Ash says, leaning on the wall near the doorway.
Olana looks at Stilgar, then at the crystal ball she used earlier to show them the story about the flame and why it is effective against demons, then back to Stilgar and remarks "Well I guess somebody was sleeping this morning."
"The dragon's flame that runs through my veins is biased towards destruction, I'm afraid. I've come to accept that. Perhaps the purifying flame would be more suited to the healers of this fine party."
" I am always interested in learning a beautiful bit of magic. That is why I started traveling all those years ago, but, " here she turns to Darrimus and addresses him." Darrimus, I know we started this quest to come after your fallen friend. I could understand if you feel the need to learn this magic to the ends of seeing this to it's conclusion. If you feel uncomfortable receiving magic from a source outside Tempus however, I would love the chance to learn."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
while the party discuss tales of demons and magic with the witch, stilgar takes the opportunity to use his mage hand and discretely place 30g(croc money) into darrimus’s belongings.
Laurentia nods her head. " I had thought that might be the case. I'll take care of this darling. Hopefully it won't be too long before we can continue to Odaigo." She one by one gives everyone from the party a motherly pat. " It might be a bit more dangerous from here on out, but I know we can do this together."
Olana nods in agreement and says "Alright. We shall begin tomorrow morning at sunrise. I am not sure how long this will take, but we shall learn as quickly as possible."

"Hope you were having a nice night darling, but we are back."
Darrimus continues to take the rear.
"Hurry. Get this done so we get some sleep."
The group heads down to the cellar and finds Olana laying on her bed reading. Seeing you walk in she says "Back so soon? How exciting! Well show me what you got."
stilgar takes the black book and tosses it to the witch.
”I was surprised how easy they made it for us...thought wed grab a few more...”
he removes his bag and dumps the pile of books onto olanas bed.
”anything you fancy?”
Olana looks at the black book and then at the pile of books on the table and says "Well I suppose they are gonna quickly realize someone stole from them.

Darrimus laughs.
"Yes indeed! Finest pickles in Odaigo!"
Olana asks "A deal is a deal. Who will learn this ancient ritual With me?

stilgar addresses the witch
”im afraid i dont fully understand the purpose of this spell.”
he gives his chin a thoughtful scratch
“ive heard countless stories of demon slaying wizards and rarely do they mention swamp witch spells within their arcane arsenal.”

Darrimus shakes his head “no.”
”You know me too well... Tempus will bless me with knowledge he feels I need. Please take this gift for yourself.”
Laurentia nods her head. " I had thought that might be the case. I'll take care of this darling. Hopefully it won't be too long before we can continue to Odaigo."

Darrimus nods.
"Let's get some rest."
Darrimus will go to the Inn have dinner and go to sleep.
Laurentia will join Darrimus and enjoy her last bit of time with the elven( or half-elven?) barmaid.
