The wood elf draws a crude map, pointing out that there are seven buildings outside of the residential dwellings: a weapons store, a items store, an Inn named the Twisted Sister, the Viceroy's mansion, a tavern, a gaming parlour and a bait shop for fishing.

After looking at the group and then the spider I showed them the map and said "Follow me to the tavern if you wish" starts to turn around " I am Tiladen" pointing to some logs on the end of the docs "He can rest there I guess"

Scottie will nod at Tiladen before turning to the spider saying "You may rest over there (pointing towards the logs) we are going to find our friends hopefully at the tavern and then I'll be back for you." 

Arvidsjaur notices another person watching them [JackDanielz's character]; more than the other people who seem terrified of the adventurers who came riding in on a boat. He seems content just watching you.

Isuzu steps from the boat and joins Aliira overlooking the ocean, holding her hand. With her free hand she pulls out a small envelope from her pocket. Magic surging through her fingers, the paper gently caught on fire and the embers and ashes drifted away onto the air.

They are chatting on the way back, you can all overhear the end of their conversation.

"Pelious and I had such little time."

"At least you had the courage to pursue the one you loved."

"I still can't believe you liked Haven. I'm sure he would've liked you too."

"Well, one thing is clear," Isuzu approaches the group. "Everybody, I have an announcement: I must leave the party and find the souls of our fallen comrades. I cannot stand the thought of their souls out there, floating about like some gull on the waves."

"You do what you need to do," Aliira put a hand on Isuzu's.

"I guess one good thing is I don't have to hear that fool calling me Suzie anymore." She paused. "Tell him I said goodbye."

Isuzu packs up her things and heads of into the crowd of onlookers, all trying to get a look at Tanari. She disappears and Aliira stares into the crowd, tears falling. "We lost so many people along the way: First Zenhymm was disembowelled by Uncle Leucis [Emperor Leucis, who has overthrown the adventurers home kingdom of Midgard], then Mara was eaten by Tanari" she eyes the spider. "Haven and Pelious have been dragged to the bottom of the ocean by a band of sea hags, and Isuzu's left us; and now the children [she chooses her words delicately around the newcomers, since she's not sure if she can trust them with the information about the children] I've charged you with protecting have only their crazy uncle to look after them. This is not what I planned at all."

Aliira wiped the tears from her red, tielfling cheeks and holds a leathery hand out to the woodland elf. "But it seems you guys have already made a new friend. My name's Aliira. Who are you?"

Takes her hand and smiles "I am Tiladen, ranger of the woods, pleased to meet you" holds her hand a moment then drops it. "I am sure you all want rest, this way to the tavern"

"It might be a good idea to head to the tavern and get to know our new friend here; not to mention get some rest." Aliira cracks her tired neck, "but are we just going to leave the spider out in the open like this? What if somebody tries to kill him? Or he eats somebody? Or he runs away?" 

Scottie will let out a deep sigh and say "It looks like our numbers are continuing to dwindle. Anyways, Ranger you surely know this land better than us. Is there anywhere our spider friend can hide for the night."

Thinks a moment "Well there are plenty of  trees around just past the residents over there" points in the direction of the modest homes. "He could go to the sewers on the other side of town, just a few rats down there. I would think that most of the things down there are harmless to him" points in the direction of the sewer grates. "I am sure the tavern will have more news for you and I will gladly answer any questions you have when we get there."

Looks over to the dark elf " I have seen him around town but I cannot recall if we have met. I would assume we have not"

Scottie will turn to the spide and ask "You have two options; you can go down into the sewer and live there or you can go into the woods. Which would you prefer?"

Erik noticed that he had been spotted. He still had much to work on in this adventuring business it would seem. He would have to take his chances with this group...they were either spies...and he would be dead...or they were like him and could help him stand against the corruption in this place. The Tiefling gave him pause...she was another unknown quantity.

He nodded at the adventurer who had spotted him, then discreetly pointed at the Tavern they had talked about going to. He headed for it and would wait there for the group to arrive. Things could not be spoken of out in the open.

Tanari lets out a hiss: "Tanari loves the darkness. Tanari lived in the sewers in Midgard."

Aliira returns the bow. "You are a true gentleman, Arvidsjaur."

[inspiration for Arvidsjaur]

The adventurers follow Erik to a tavern. There is a wildly inappropriate logo of a promiscuous barwench with the words Twsited Sister burned into it. When you step inside you notice women dancing on the tables and tending to the bar; aside from the patrons, there isn't a man to be seen. A wooden staircase leads up to an office where a well dressed woman is watching over the tavern from her mahogany desk. The clientele is made up of men, women, humans, elves, dwarves, tabaxi and thri-kreen just to name a few.

Scottie will direct the spider towards the sewer 

“Here you go buddy. I wish the best for you.”

He’ll then follow everyone to the tavern and he is honestly taken back by what is happening in the bar. This was not what he was expecting. 

Erik sat a table, one as far from other Patrons as he could, waiting for the group to enter.

Aliira, being of noble blood, is visibly uncomfortable in a burlesque tavern such as this one. Still, she parks herself beside Erik and orders an ale from the scantily-clad barmaid.

"Anybody else?" the barmaid asks, her voice unnaturally high.

Scottie will order an ale and a plate of hot food looking forward to his first good meal in a while. 

"A round of drinks for my new friends, Tonda." Erik said with a flash of a smile to the barmaid. He wasn't a wealthy man by any means, but he did try to be generous when he could, and the staff here knew him well enough. 

Erik noticed the way the Tiefling held herself as she entered the bar and the stiffness to her posture. He had seen it before with ladies of the Noble familes. Having something of a noble heritage himself, he could relate somewhat.
