"I don't know where it is either, but the people look nice and maybe we can get to know them and we can explore and we can see what all is going on up there!" Tikak, a bouncing blue kobold is excitedly looking back and forth between his new allies. He notices the pseudodragon and the sprite, "OOH, they look friendly. Hi friends!"

I (Af) am a red tiefling. Horns are broader and slicked back rather than protruding on the sides. Brown hair with yellow eyes. Sturdy build. I wear a dark red cleric robe with gold detailing in the trim and stitch. Outside of the robe is a gold plated scale armor with a shield at my back. Around my neck is a gold chain necklace with a 3 in. spherical cage at the end. Front of the cage is small emblem with a 6 pointed sun. Inside the cage is a small candle that has a white flame flickering.
I bow to the human woman and the blue kobold and smile. I reach out my hand for a hand shake to the others, "My name is Af. It's nice to meet you." I look at the pseudodragon. "You too, buddy."
The sprite on Celia's shoulder taps his foot impatiently, but doesn't say anything. "I'm Celia... um... I'd like to join you, but..." she feels the note in her pocket, then thinks back to the conversation she had with the innkeeper. "Maybe... maybe I should go..." she says mostly to herself. When the Kobold and Af mention her Gwenlyn, she smiles, "This is Gwenlyn," she scratches Gwenlyn's head, "and he's Echo," she lefts the shoulder the sprite is standing on.
At this moment the guard returns and in a cheerful, and somewhat desperate tone, says to Rianath, "Ah! I leave for a few minutes and you've got three more volunteers! There is a carriage waiting outside that will hold most of you, the others can purchase horses or walk." You all have a high enough passive insight to notice that he really wants to be rid of this task and has most likely been looking for quite a while.
(I want to make a note at the start of the campaign, while there may be moments where you feel pressured by the situation to make a decision that fits the DM's apparent plan, I challenge you all to act as your characters would instead of folding to the implied expectation. I haven't sensed any pressured decision making thus far but since I can't read facial expressions I just wanted to add this note. You all have been awesome so far, so thank you.)
"Um... where are the stables? Or is it over by the carriage?"Celia asks, still rather confused why she's agreeing all of a sudden but deciding to go with her hunch.
"The stables are located towards the outskirts of the city walls. Now unless you have any other questions for me, I'll take my leave." He bows slightly and goes to leave. Towards the back of the otherwise patient group, you hear a deep, gruff voice say, "I don't got all day Glassblade, get us an escort or you'll be hearing from the captain!" A few others in the crowd start bickering in his direction to get him to shut up, knowing that their lives may be in your hands. The Glassblade turns back around and addresses the group, "I apologize for the delay, due to some recent activity we've had to pull our units to..." he pauses for a moment..."more pressing matters. You'll be off shortly." The guard will take his leave if no one else calls for his attention.
"The journey is about 5-7 days long, depending on the weather and speed of travel. The mountains don't have many active predators since we work to keep them at bay, but the Crystalsands Tundra has some active hunters. Watch, or feel is probably the better word, for both [Tooltip Not Found] and Young Remorhaz, they are the main threat."
Rianath puffs up slightly at the praise from the Glassblade, proud to have been successful at.... talking to the people who came up to him. He inclines his head to Celia and speaks. "I'm Rianath. I can take ya to the stables, I go by 'em often. Never have had cause to buy a horse m'self before, but this sounds like the perfect time."
His eyes wander to the pseudodragon and sprite pair again, but he quickly looks away and gazes at the assembled group they are to be escorting. He schools his face into as confident a look as he can manage, excited for his first real quest.
Tikak is eager to get moving. "Yesyes! I don't think I've ever rode a horse before. Can I ride a dog?! Dogs probably can't keep up with horses. Maybe I can ride with someone else?" The short dragonkin is wandering around looking at his new charges and new allies. He pulls his the hood of his cloak down, trying to keep warm. The bright blue of his scales stands out against the muted greys of his cloak.

"You could ride with me, blue one. I'm sure Celia has quite a full load. And Rianath is a quite a big fellow. What is your name?" I ask the blue kobold.
(Also as another note, I’ll allow you to buy non-magical items with your starting money. If you want to upgrade armor, weapons, buy applicable tools, or supplies, feel free to do so without asking. I only ask that you buy items that your characters would realistically own)
"Ah yes, you are Af, right? I am Tikak! I am the greatest acrobat in Uthodurn! Or, soon, on the outskirts of Uthodurn! Or later. in... well, you get the idea. What is that necklace? That's really cool!

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"Yeah! Look what I can do!" Tikak climbs up the side of a nearby building and tries to do a flip off of it.
19 Acrobatics (Y'all, I've rolled twice now, and both of them have been under 5. haha)
Tikak climbs up the side of the building, managing to get up about 15 feet before something in the wall shifts, forcing him to abandon his climb. He jumps off the wall, landing less than gracefully. (Using Slow Fall) Tikak manages to roll to minimize the damage of the fall.
"Tada! Acrobatics is less about managing to do impressive things than it is to minimize the pain of doing them poorly." He says in a slightly winded voice.
(I built this character right after Hasira fell off the wall, haha)
A couple of the citizens in the group start clapping for a few seconds, but once they notice no one else joining in, the clap slowly fades back to silence.
Rianath pumps a fist into the air as he laughs a cheer at Tikak's antics. "Maybe ya can teach me a thing or two while we're on the road, aye? If ya need a strong arm t'get up someplace, I can give ya a quick toss t'climb up."

I get the Glassblade's attention. I ask, "How far is our destination and is there any danger we should be aware of?"

While they're talking, Echo takes off from her shoulder and goes to take a closer look at Tikak, tilting his head in curiosity.
