Looking around at the rest of the group, assuming there's no abject disinterest or immediate objection, Umbriel says "Indeed. We need a few days to take care of some things here and in the surrounding area, but I think we can help protect the shipment for you. Send word when it arrives up to the Manor; in the meantime, thank you for your consideration."
Umbriel walks outside, and if anyone joins him, he starts brainstorming quietly. "The caravan escort could be a convenient way to accomplish a few of our out-of-town goals along the way, including visiting Agatha at Conyberry and seeing what's going on at the Old Owl Well. Unless we want to travel immediately, I don't know that we'd be able to go to Thundertree and back before the shipment is due to leave. Reidoth may have to live with his dragon problem a little while longer, unless you all think otherwise."
Linene nods. "I'll send word. It's probably going to be at least a week. Security of this shipment is more important than speed, so it can wait until you are ready, as long as that is sometime in the next two weeks."
Assuming the come talk to Baeshra about it later, "I would not mind to us having all the best weapons we can in case we have to fight this dragon, or at least look powerful enough to scare it off. Perhaps take the shipment out, then stop by Agatha and then back to Reidoth."
"Ohh me well I don't really have a fixed address. Waterdeep was fun but I tend to travel all over the place, having experiences and collecting songs to spread joy and wisdom. But I am more than happy to tell you about the homes of my people when we have a free moment. From the Brynwood in the distant Vast, to the Chondalwood in Chondath and The Wealdath, just south of Amn"Nyx beems.

Linene grins: "That sounds fascinating! Yes, you'll have to come back and tell me all about it."
Here is the map that Linene gives the party, showing Triboar, at the end of the Triboar Trail.
It's about 4pm in the afternoon, what does the party want to do now?
(We've got Phillip working on the manor - do we want to rename it? Something to consider for later, I suppose. I think at least one more night at the inn would be advisable, since it will take a few days to clean out the bodies and scrub the blood off the floor in our new house. Maybe it would be a good idea to stop in at the Sleeping Giant inn and make sure there are no Redbrands hanging about? A meal and a drink would be welcome at this point.)
Umbriel looks lost in thought. He looks up occasionally in the direction of Tresendar Manor, and from time to time he glances quickly at the lengthening shadows as if trying to spot something but he's just not fast enough. Eventually, he shakes his head and says "Where would you like to eat tonight? I know I could use a pint. And a meal."
Grista, the dwarven proprietor of The Sleeping Giant, grunts as you walk in.
She serves a platter with a hunks of cheese and meat and a loaf of bread, and brings a gallon of ale. The bread is surprisingly good, but the ale is watered down.
"That'll be 16 silver for the ale and the food."
The party returns to the Stonehill Inn for the night and completes a Long Rest (If anyone has anything else they wanted to do before turning in, go for it).
It is now the 22nd of Flamerule. It has been 3 days since enchanting your items at the Forge of Spells. The +1 enchantment on Nyx's dagger has faded.
Rosie gets up in the morning and says her goodbyes, promising to return as soon as she can (Did anyone take her up on her offer to teach some basic giant phrases? If so, make an Intelligence check).
Nyx takes time to saver her food and she drinks until she is clearly drunk and starts to dance on the tables in the inn. The satyr plays some boisterous tunes on her horn, adding raunchy lyrics with not so subtle meanings and gestures.
She also keeps on pestering Rosie to use her wand of flowers and give her a tiara of bright blooms, which sends her into a tittering fit.
As the new day starts Nyx is still in her bed sleeping off a hangover.
OCC: Nyx would love to learn a little giant and will talk to Rosie about it. Intelligence check 19
Bseshra would not worry about learning giant, and will start looking around for materials to use to make a few potions of healing with his herbalism kit.
Umbriel will spend the day meditating in the dark in his room. Before the sun goes down, he'll find Sildar.
To Sildar:
"I've given the matter a great deal of thought, and I will join your Alliance, so long as I'm never placed in direct conflict with my companions. They have saved my life many times over and I would not jeopardize that trust. I do understand the benefits of a wider network of information and access to better resources, however, and if it makes this plane a safer place for good people, count me in."
Nyx, the few customers in the Sleeping Giant enjoy your songs, and they cheer and clap along. You and Lyngheid manage to learn some rudimentary giant phrases. Probably enough to be passable.
Ireniana, you can say "Hello" in Giant.
Baeshra, for 20 gold, you are able to scrounge up enough components to make 1 potion of healing. It will still take you a day to brew it up.
Whistler, you and Owlbear get some strange looks. And Owlbear is not listening to you very well. But he at least hasn't eaten anything he's not supposed to yet.
That brings us to the morning when Rosie departs, what do you want to do for the day?
Whistler bought a lot of supplies. For Owlbear, how much for room and board? (I'd think Owlbear is starting to warm up to us a little.)
Rounded off 30-day rations Holy Water Silken Rope Grappling Hook Splint Armour Refill of his casket (I forgot the amount.) Traded a gem in at 10g value (is this half or a straight trade?) Playing card set (for those lonely nights, and to teach Owlbear how to count cards.)
Yes, after Rosie departs. When she's done teaching the rest of the group the strange gutteral tongue of the giants, he won't get emotional, but he'll take a moment and crouch down to eye level and say "This isn't goodbye, it's just until we meet again, little one. Take care of your family, and may the blessing of the Raven Queen keep you safe on your travels. Come back to us when you can."
Whistler takes a minute with Owlbear and then rustles with himself then presents a small totem of a feather from him and a tuff of belly fur from Owlbear.
"Whistler not cry... *CRIES*"

OK, the day passes. Baeshra brews a potion, (add 1 potion of healing).
Umbriel, Sildar replies:
"Excellent, we will accomplish much together! Your initial title is 'Cloak'."
Whistler, you refill your cask for 1 gold piece.
Rosie takes the feather and fur and cries as well and returns Umbriel's hug before she sets off.
Another Long Rest is had, and the morning of the 23rd arrives. It's been 4 days since enchanting items at the Forge of Spells, and many of the enchantments will wear off at the end of the day.
