So, do you all sleep?

I think so, but before resting Talvian will go out to either the blacksmith or the general goods shop and purchase a set of smith's tools so that during the rest he can craft his [Tooltip Not Found] as well as infuse his armor to make it a +1.

Si will sleep like a bearded baby dwarf.  

Jedavii disappears for a bit. When he reappears, you see that he has someone new with him - an owl perched on his head - his new familiar!

He sleeps well that night, with his new bird by his side.

As you enter the lounging area of the inn you see some many of the same people,

When Talvian notices Jedavii with his new bird Talvian smiles and gives him a wave.

"Looks like I am not the only one to make a new friend, although make is a bit more literal for me," Talvian laughs and motions to his new [Tooltip Not Found], the metal hound stands next to him like a well trained hunting hound. "I named him Ironheart." 

Many heads turn at the sight of a large robot in the common room. One drunk human tries to walk up to touch the robot, but his sober friend pulls him back.

Jedavii's smile grows wide as he walks to stand next to the metal hound. He crouches down and cheerfully gives it head pats and scratches. "I like him; he's a good boy!"

The owl flaps over, pecking once on the table before staring at Talvian a bit. "I named him Comet!"

"Yeah I had some designs in my head for him for awhile but there was one bit I could not quite figure out. It finally came to me right after my head bounced off the ground after that monk knocked me senseless," Talvian laughs rubbing his head. "I am not the best when it comes to close quarters fighting so I hope this guy will help with that."

Talvian then goes over to the table to take a closer look at the owl, "Look at him such a handsome boy he is. Makes me think about my mother, she was a masterful animal trainer. I had actually wanted to be like her when I was a child, still do to be honest, but I took to my father's tutelage a bit more than my mother's."

The same waitress/owner or the swinging sword  waves you over to a table she has.

Comet nuzzles closer as Talvian approaches it.

"Neat! Head-bumping seems to be a catalyst for greatness within the three of us. Your metal dog, my entire personality." Jedavii chuckles.

"Anyhoo, 'remaking the lands in his own image'... definitely want to stop that. I'm ready whenever you all are."

Si laughs at the spectacle in front of him.  "Here boy!  That's a good boy."  Taking his seat at the table offered, he looks at his two companions and asks, "Any ideas on who to talk to about this whole mess?  It seems to me we've not really explored enough of this town, and I gotta guess there are people wanting to talk if asked the right questions.  Where should we start?"

"Just what I wanted to talk about!" The bartender says, "Now I have a theory, near Lance Rock, rumors say it smells of death and decay. I think it may have something to do with the evil happening around. I've asked the constable to check it out, but he  won't go. Could you check it out? I can pay."

Jedavii perks up and listens to the bartender. "Sounds like a good time! Could help us get stronger to take on that temple thingy as well. I'd be in if they are!" he points to his two companions.

"Aye, that sounds like it could be something."  Si looks at Jedavii and Talvian anxiously then back to the barkeeper. "Anyone see any people wearing funny looking symbol about those parts?  We'd be interested in checking it out."

Si consults with his group and tells them he thinks we should investigate right away.

"Could give us some answers," Talvian agrees. "Heavens knows we need more of those. Its worth checking out and lending a hand."

"Wonderful!" She says. She gives you all basic directions to lance rock. Not that far away, only a few miles. "Anyway, I think I should give you my name if you want to contact me. Name is Kaylessa."

“Kaylessa, got it! Thank you!” Chirps Jedavii.

Turning to his friends, he asks: “Need to buy anything before we go, or are we all good?”

"I am all set," Talvian says with a smile. "Not that I have too much coin on me at the moment anyway. Spent most of it on the tools to make my new friend."

"Let's go check it out."  Si follows the other two as they all head on their way.  He is amused by how life-like Comet looks.  That thing even wags its tail when its happy.

As the group gets closer to Lance Rock, Si is cautious and starts to alertly gaze around as they walk.
