"Oh! Everyone, This is Grista Stonetank. Grista this is Robwin, Rinn, Wolfsong, Blaire, TT, Gralk ... I'm sorry, I don't remember your names ... and you know Cinnaess.", Elsa beams 

"Don’t fret! Robwin and his companions recovered the supplies! They're mostly untouched up at the manor. Robwin took me through the storage area last night.", she exclaims 

"Glufs!"

"Gaatbort!"

Each of the goblins provide during Elsa's introduction 

"Well. That is good news!", Grista hesitantly responds. "We're still going to be hard pressed to be ready by Moonfest!", Grista starts. You can see an anxious agitation brewing again. 

"Maybe, but we can check with this whole Constabulary business. Maybe, Sildar and Halia, can lend us some man hours on some type of arrangement.", Elsa puts the idea forward. "And if we miss Moonfest,  we make Simril all the more special!"

"This one's quick on her feet, Cinnaess."

"It sounds like a good plan."

"Nice meeting you all."

"Thank you for not tearing down the tap house the other night."

"Catch me up later Elsa. Let me know what Thornton says."

With that the dwarf is off again, working through the tables and making various comments to staff and patron.

Robwin nods a bow towards Grista with a polite smile, (hopefully masking the fact that he was seconds away from casting suggestion and asking her to come back in and try that first line to Elsa again!)…

Luckily, he didn’t need to, and Elsa, as always, shows she can handle herself. Maybe he doesn’t need to worry so much about her.

Robwin just gently squeezes Elsa’s hand, and gives her a proud wink, after Grista leaves.

Elsa blushes as both Robwin and Cinnaess are giving her a lot of attention. 

"Okay! Enough! Robwin, You're super sweet and I knew Grista way before all this recent mess. We've been planning this for years. And mother, stop smirking. I know almost exactly what I'm doing."

As Elsa finishes her small rant she and Cinnaess burst out laughing. 

"Okay, Okay, so you all are leaving out again?", Elsa asks

Cinnaess says, "I am accompanying the goblinkin to their homestead, this Stonehill Cavern. Is that still true?", she says looking over to Blaire 

Blaire sputters a bit then recovers, "Well, yeah. Um, guys, I hope you don't mind, but there's this fellow, Don-Jon Raskin, who Halia was talking to. He, that fellow, Jurzl, and Cinnaess are going to go with me back to the caverns to set up a bit and see what we really need. I figured it made sense. I don't think you'll be rushing in on a pair of manticore or the dragon if you find them. Not yet, right? That was what Jubilance thought anyway.

Then when we all come back, maybe we can help this Raskin fellow? He has some mine in the Mountain's toe area to check in on.

And we told King Grol we'd check in on the rest of the Stonehill clan. They have a copper mine somewhere in there.

Is that alright?

Otherwise, we'll be right along with you.

I still want to check on those followers of Talos and Cinnaess has a project in that direction. Those will wait till we're all back though, yeah?

Well... yeah, does that work?"

(( Eli has offered his help if needed. Otherwise, he will be working on improving Phandalin and its Constabulary. 

     Blaire has awkwardly asked leave of the party to set up the 'Fresh Spring Clan Cavern' claim with the Stonehill clan and a few recruiters recommend by her new friends. The claim is made up of the former "Cragmaw Hideout" and a mile out surrounding it. It is about a day east by northeast of Phandalin. It is about five miles west of "The High Road", a day's journey north of Leilon and two day's from Neverwinter. 

     Both Eli and Blaire have presented you some plausible work and mystery to unpack at a later time. 

     Ikki hasn't returned to the group since the initial large encounter with the former Redbrand Ruffians. You've seen the Aarakocra at times over the past days running errands for the Alderleaf Farm or with Carp or one of the other community halflings. 

      Wolfsong, Robwin, Rinn and TT, You found yourself in a comfortable morning meeting discussing all these things and preparing, it seems, to travel to one or both of the dwarven ruins excavation sites south of Phandalin. You were told there might be more information available at the Miner's Exchange and based on Elsa's words, you might be able to stop by Umbrage Hill on the way,, if you wish.

     The day is yours. What do you wish to do?

TT would like to visit some of those that were injured in the last attack. (Cant remember if anyone was killed)

Quote from AndrewFairall >>

TT would like to visit some of those that were injured in the last attack. (Cant remember if anyone was killed)

 Fifteen Redbrand Ruffians were killed including the goblins in the street. Four Phandalin folk were killed including Thel Dendrar, the woodcarver. You rescued Mirna, his wife, from the pens and his daughters, Nilsa and Nars (Narelle), near the Townmaster Hall a few days ago. None of Ms. Thornton's initial light guard ever reported bodies in the Manor basement or cavern. 

There were wounded among the fighters. They are being cared for at the Orchard currently. 

TT would def be visiting the families of those killed counseling them if needed, providing what comfort she can. She will also perform rites for the redbrands that were killed  

TT

You find the dead are tightly wrapped in canvas and stored in the Lionshield Coster. The proprietor, Linene Graywind, and the blacksmith, Thagren Ironforge, inform you that the dead have been chronicled as much as possible and pyers prepared. Despite his gruff demeanor, Ironforge seems most grateful for your service to the dead. 

He also points you to the Dendrar family home above their currently closed store and workshop. "Mirna and her girls could use the right ears to hear them"

Robwin would spend any amount of downtime attempting to scribe spells. But wouldn’t request the downtime to do so. He’d just use any time he had before the party plan to head off next. ((So if the party decide to head straight off, that’s fine, maybe he only has a couple of hours, or if they head off in the morning maybe he has more time, etc. When it’s clear what we’re doing we can see how much time he might have)).

Aside from that, he would like to order more paper and inks from Barthen’s Provisions ((400gp worth, paid up front)). And he’s ask, as a regular customer, whether they would be able to store his bought supply for him somewhere in the store back rooms until he needs it.

He’s suggest making enquiries at the miners exchange. And also the party have some gems they might be able to sell there.

He would then be happy to head to the two Dwarven excavation sites, via Umbridge Hill.

Thinking about the hunt ahead Wolfsong double checks his gear then after a moment of thought goes to town looking to purchase a couple of nets, some more crossbow bolts, as well as to trade in his light crossbow for a heavy one.

Rinn would acquire some more arrows, having racked up quite a number of shots recently, but nothing else seems dire at this point.

((OOC: some housekeeping….

- In the group loot thread we have 4x healing potions. I suggest each PC takes one each. Please add it to your own sheet. I’ll remove them from group loot.

- We also have the following to sell: 2x garnets (10gp each); 3 x ruby (25 gp ea);  3 x emerald (25 gp ea); 3 x sticks (blocks) of incense. Unless anyone objects lets say we sell these and add 170gp plus price of inscence to group loot.

@Sashquatch can you let me know the selling price of incense and check the above is okay to do? Thanks))

Robwin:

Barthen is more than happy to accommodate your request. Also, the order you placed on 7 Kythorn, 1492 DR is in; 300 gp worth of quality paper/ink and 60 gp worth of incense. Minus what he was able to supply you upfront..

"Being the 13 Kythorn, 1492 DR today, I should have this in by the 20th.", Barthen cheerfully explains while jotting down the order and details. 

(( OOC: I'll trust you to keep track. Are you planning on restocking the Wizard's workshop? ))

((OOC: I’ll keep track of paper etc on the group loot thread (I’ll add it now) and I’m keeping track of stock in my sheet too. I’m on it :-). ))
