"Thank you sir." Kwisatz says to the Townmaster, adding "hopefully we can be of more service. And again, if you learn anything else please let me know."
To Sael he says "We can give them their share when we meet them at the inn. I'm actually quite looking forward to a nice warm meal and a cool drink myself. Lets check the board since it's just outside, and we can tell the others what's available as well." He then heads out to quickly see the job board, and then to meet up with the others at the inn.
Andrømeda gets up from the Tortle's front porch after saying her goodbyes and makes her way back to Stonehill Inn. When she walks in, she sees the Innkeeper talking with a group of patrons near the front door.

Andrømeda can see the Innkeeper notice her and he smiles, mid-sentence, and holds a finger up. He says, "I'll be right there, ma'am," and he finishes up his conversation. Andrømeda can hear him say, "Some folk claim to have seen the dragon flying through the high clouds. At that distance, it’s hard to gauge the creature’s size, but some say it’s as big as an elephant and has gleaming white scales.”
Rush doesn't hear Mr. Stonehill's conversation, but it's hard to miss the almost unnaturally tall human barbarian enter the inn.
Andrømeda's eyes scan around the interior, taking a note of what she'd heard while looking around for her companions. She spots Rush sitting by himself and with a smile and a bombastic, "Hels friend!" she walks over to him and takes a seat, dropping her bag at her feet and resting her greataxe, blade on the floor, against the table. "Enjoying a drikke already, Am see." she gestures at his tankard with a small chuckle, her eyes wandering back to the Innkeeper to see if he was coming her way. "Alltid better to drikke together, ja? Vith a hearty meal for hearty friends."

For Kwisatzand Sael:
Kwiz and Sael go out to the job board. It has a lot more on it than it did the last time they saw it. It's organized into two sections: the left side has a bunch of news announcements on it; the right side has new job postings.
News:
Dragon Attacks! The mountain's Toe Gold Mine has ceased operations while the Miner's Guild works to repair the damage done by the dragon. Luckily, no casualties.
Logger's Camp Hit Next. Is this the beginning of a rash of attacks by this reptilian villain?
A group of caravaners heading from Neverwinter to Leilon on High Road attacked by a dragon - all but five dead. survivors taking refuge in Leilon.
A family heading from Leilon to Neverwinter attacked by the dragon next - entire family killed.
Conyberry is the Next Victim! The small settlement on the Tribor Trail on the way to Starmetal Hills was the latest in this string of seemingly random attacks
Jobs:
Butterskull Ranch. Orcs have attacked Butterskull Ranch, five miles east of Conyberry along the Triboar Trail! Travel there with haste, assess the damage, and help any way you can. Ranch owner Alfonse “Big Al” Kalazorn is a retired sheriff who can reward you for your efforts. If he’s dead, return to me with proof of Kalazorn’s demise to receive a reward of 100 gold.
Loggers' Camp. Deep in Neverwinter Wood, along the river that flows west toward Neverwinter, is a logging camp. Every two months, Phandalin delivers fresh supplies to the camp, which is run by my half-brother. Barthen, our local provisioner, has prepared a new delivery. He needs someone to bear the supplies safely to the camp. Return to town with a notice of delivery signed by my half-brother, Tibor Wester, to claim your reward of 100 gp.
Mountain's Toe. The Mountain’s Toe Gold Mine lies fifteen miles northeast of here. The new overseer, Don-Jon Raskin, just made the trip from Neverwinter to Phandalin and needs to be escorted to the mine, considering what dangers might lie between here and there. Once you deliver Raskin safe and sound, return to me to collect a reward of 100 gp.
((Note: the party can do as many or as few of the listed jobs as they want.))

The innkeeper sees Andrømeda and walks over to her, "My apologies. I was just finishing up something with another guest. What can I get for you?"
Andrømeda waves off the apology, clearly excited at the prospect of food and drink, "Am vant Ale, and keep dem coming, ja? A meal as vell, something meaty if du can." She glances at the door for a moment before adding, "Ve ha two more who vil be vith us soon, a Gnome and Tiefling. A drikke for dem as vell, on me."

She glances at the door for a moment before adding, "Ve ha two more who vil be vith us soon, a Gnome and Tiefling. A drikke for dem as vell, on me."
"Very well," Mr. Stonehill says with a smile. "I'll have that right up." He walks away with a sense of urgency.
A few moments later, he's got a wooden platter with three pints and a bowl of stew. "Well, here ya are. I'll add it to your room bill."
Kwisatz see's his large compatriot starting to enjoy her meal and many drinks so heads to her table to join her and Rush. Sitting down he said "Well! Looks like you wasted no time getting a meal! How is it here? I really could use something warm after being on the road the last few days." He then hands over some coins to the group ((20g each +20 into group stash)) saying "Here is what we all earned from our adventures! I think he actually gave us a tip as well! I'll also hold on to some coin for us to all use together, assuming we'd like to continue working together of course. We actually checked the job board on the way here. Not much detail of the dragon it self unfortunately... Though it has been attacking some groups around the area. Let me get a meal as we discuss the next adventures!" At that he tries to flag the innkeeper over to order a nice warm meal, as well as a large mug of mead. When it arrives he'll magically cool it, take a sip, smile, and then dig into his meal, giving some morsels to Duncan, who would be sitting on the table next to him.
Andrømeda lifts her bowl, slurping down the last of her stew as Kwisatz speaks. Polishing the bowl off, she lets out a deep, satisfied breath before turning to him. "Am vil be glad to continue onvard vith alle of du. As for de food, den's filling and varm, as den should be, ja?" She shoves one of the three ales sitting in front of her to Kwisatz, and one to Sael, picking up her own. "Vi can speak of jobs, but først, Am ordert a round of drikke, so vi can ha a toast." Raising it high, paying no mind to the small amount that sloshed over and dripped onto the top of her head, she reaches out with her other to push Rush's own ale closer to him and says "Zo de falne, zo fremtidige seire, og zo hverandre. To de fallen, to future victories, and to eachother. A good toast, ja?" With that she brings her tankard to her lips and takes one long, heavy swig, before setting the significantly emptier vessel back on the table, letting out an oddly delicate belch into her hand with a laugh.

"heh" Kwisatz chuckles, takes a drink with Andrømeda and says "A great toast! It has been quite the adventure. To be honest it is both everything I expected, and a little more. Though... my book didn't talk about losing companions other than as a footnote... So this is what it's like to be an adventurer eh?" he finishes, looking around the inn at everyone else around enjoying themselves.
Looking around, Kwiz notices a variety of people around the inn - humans, an elf, an orc, a dragonborn, and others. The dragonborn and orc are apparently finishing up their dinner and conversation as the dragonborn is getting up to head out of the inn. The other tables are talking and enjoying their dinners.
Sael has also ordered a meal and appreciatively finishes off the ale that Andrømeda shared. She scans the room, used to being stared at.
"If I recall correctly Andrømeda, you mentioned finding a temple for remains? I need to stop by there. It can wait 'till morning though." She looks around the table. "Maybe after we discuss what possible jobs we'd like to take. Kwiz mentioned what we read about the Dragon... looks like it's hanging out near Neverwinter."

She reaches up and rubs at the burn scars on her right cheek. "Vell, vi have a good idé now, ja? No standing still in de meanvhile.

Sael glances at Kwiz, then speaks to Rush and Andrømeda. " There was something at Butterskull Ranch about Orcs attacking. They just want help in general. We'll have to find the Ranch Owner, known as Big Al. If he's dead, we'll need to bring proof back, but otherwise... I guess just fix the problem. Orcs." Then there's Logger's Camp. Phandalin delivers supplies routinely there, but the delivery guy needs some help this time around. Barthen, I think his name was. Once delivered, we get a letter from Tibor. Finally there's the gold mine out on Mountain's Toe. The overseer wants an escort to the mine, seeing as how he just traveled from Neverwinter. Once he's safe, we get paid. They said it was 100gp per job, apiece."
"Kwiz, wasn't there something else about where they think the Dragon is heading next?"
