You all head towards the north, the direction from where you saw Elmar come from the day before. This direction also leads past the Stonehill Inn. After a short walk, you spot Barthen's Provisions on the right hand side of the road. Just outside the trading post, you see two young men working away at moving some crates. Meanwhile, Elmar oversees their progress.

"Morning," Elmar greets you. "Welcome to Barthen's Provisions"

"Morning" Tagret greets in return "Was everything in order with the wagon?"

Assuming it was, he continues "We are going after Sildar and Gundren.  Gundren told us that he had brothers involved in his venture....are they here in Phandalin....and might they be likely to aide the rescue of their brother?"

Tagret also wants to find out more about Linene "Is there anything more about Linene that you can tell us before we visit?"

Elmar responds to your questions, "Yeah, everything was here. You all did a good job, and I am more than happy with your services."

"Well, two more of the Rockseeker brothers have been camping somewhere outside of town, Tharden and Nundro. Unfortunately, I have not seen them in a tenday. Although, I suspect they will need to return any day now to resupply."

"Linene? She can be a sharp-tongued woman. So watch out for that. She also has been known to refuse to sell weapons to those she deems unsavoury. Other than, don't worry."

OOC: Any thoughts on seeing whether the brothers might be able to give us some aid to try to rescue their brother?

((Maybe the brothers could help but that is only if they are not missing as well, if we wait for their return we could run the risk of losing Sildar and/or Gundren))

"I do not like this," Saravena comments after hearing about the two other brothers, "one being captured I would count as nothing but all three... Gundren was taken for a reason, hopefully Tharden and Nundro are safe and will return soon."

Saravena turns to Elmar, "Do you happen to know what the Rockseekers were here for? Gundren said he and his brothers found something big but nothing after that."

Rashana taps her mouth with her finger. "I think we should not wait for the brothers. We don't know if they would be back soon or not." She turns to Elmar. "Do you know the specific location that the brothers went to? Maybe we can look for them on the way."

"No clue, I'm afraid," Elmar replies. "Your guess would be just as good as mine.

If you really want to go searching for Gundren, you're better off looking for him first. They keep it tight-lipped, but I would imagine that there are treasure seekers. Many come to these parts looking for Wave Echo Cave. No has ever found it. I think it's probably the stuff of legend. Otherwise, it would have been found by now. However, those Rockseeker brothers seem determined nevertheless."

Eniwin asks, "Can you give us any information of the (OOC: insert cave system name that Murg told us about.)? Like natural features, alternate entrances? Anything like that?"

DM Note: Murg has not given you a name for the cave system.

DM Note: Murg has not given you a name for the cave system.

 Then Eniwin does not ask about the cave system. She does ask if he knows of any cave systems within a ten miles of the town.

"You want to know about an cave system, in these parts?" Elmar asks almost incredulously. "Of course there are cave systems. There is the whole mountain range to the south of us, the Sword Mountains. There are likely to be cave systems that are both naturally created and made by hand. Did you miss the part where I mentioned the treasure seekers searching for Wave Echo Cave? You might as well have asked me if there are trees in the Neverwinter Wood."

"Oh, I'm sorry....my mistake...." Eniwin sheepishly replies as she brings her head down and slowly makes her way to the back of the group. 

"Worth asking the question Eniwin....anyway lets finish our business here...Saravena, do you still want those flasks?  If so, grab them and lets be off" Tagret finishes a little annoyed that Elmar is short on useful information

OOC: Tagret is intending to keep Murg with the party, so I assume that he is being kept around, being led by rope

"Yes, Elmar do you have the flasks?" Saravena asks, "also do you happen to sell oil? If you do I would like to fill some of those flask, I think it will come in useful where we are going."

As soon as Saravena completes the purchase Tagret heads off toward Linene

Elmar turns to Saravena, "Yes, I have a new supply of flasks. They are two copper pieces each. Though, I do sell oil in a flask already at one silver piece each."

You head off to Linshield Coster, where you were told you could find Linene. You find the modest trading post opposite the Stonehill Inn. Hanging just outside the door you see a wooden shield with a blue lion painted on it.

Damian will buy some oil flask, and cloth if he has cloth. 
“I’ll take 5 oil flask also if you got any cloth or rags I’ll take those too.”

"Lovely," Saravena replies, "I will take eight empty flasks and four oil flasks."

Eniwin follows Tagret

Assuming that we all approach Linene's shop Tagret will enter and call out "Good morning, anyone about?"

Should be another interesting entrance given Murg is being pulled along with the group still.

OOC: Tagret is not the best to be leading discussions, unless of course Linene turns out to be another veteran fighter.  Remember that Elmar gave us Linene's name as someone who would know more about the goblin activity in the area
