Robwin bows deep, forgetting his manners. In truth he can think of nothing but Elsa. “Forgive me! Robwin Windrobe, apprentice wizard at the colleges in Neverwinter..... Hmmm... yes I thought as much. I will have to save up that’s for sure! Let’s put that one on the back burner for now!”, he says with a cheeky grin, looking very much like a young one indeed. He’s at an awkward age for an elf! Young to some, too old to others!

”I had a tutor who had one of those rings! I always wanted one! Maybe one day!”, he says!

As part of our day in Phandalin montage, Rinn will trade in his shortbow for a longbow, as well as acquiring 20 more arrows, chalk (1 piece), and a grappling hook.

It is easy enough for you, Rinn to trade your shortbow and 20gp for a longbow at Lionshield Coster - ("Giving you a bit of a discount Rinn. Don't go bragging it up."  - Ms. Graywind), pick up Chalk (1 piece) for 1 cp at Barthen’s Provisions, Thagren Smithy or Lionshield Coster and a grappling hook for 2 gp at Barthen’s Provisions or Thagren Smithy and 20 arrows for 1 gp at Thagren Smithy or Lionshield Coster.

Addressing TT again Endure says, "Well now. What I have on hand... and you can understand I ask you not to be too vocal about this. My chickens have their hands full with guard duty and laying eggs as it is. I have a Arrow-Catching Shield. That would be fourteen thousand gold and it requires attunement. If you favor a mace (+1) that would run you three hundred fifty gold. It's weighted nicely for halfling or thin dwarf. 

"I have a medium Spiked armor (Armor of Gleaming) that basically never needs cleaning would run you a hundred five gold. Would still need repairs, obviously. Also, not nearly as good as your current set."

"I have a Staff of Flowers that I would sell for twenty-five gold because it's fun. Makes merrigolds unless you put some thought into it. A friend likes merrigolds.", Endure finishes laughing.

"Oh, and I do have those hide armor pieces I could add a little kick to. We would need to plan it out."

"To be honest, most "common" or "uncommon" items you could probably purchase easy enough in Neverwinter, but rare or unique items, I would be a good resource." 

"Anyway, would you all like to share a bit of this cider?"

Hearing Endure listing some of the items they had Wolfsong  makes an inquiry of his own, "Do you happen to have anything that grants protection without the encumbrance of armor? I have heard of things like rings, or cloaks that offer that sort of protection. Anything like that?"

Endure laughs, "Wolfsong, I do not have such an item. With the best equipment it would take at least ten tenday, two thousand gold worth of base materials and a few rare materials. If anyone is offering you one for less than thirty-five hundred, be dubious. We could speak with Phandalin Miner's Exchange. Halia has contacts in the East that would probably serve or with your Robwin's university. Actually, a trip to the university in Neverwinter would be your safest bet in this region. More security going directly to the source." Endure is  definitely thinking off the tip of their tongue at the moment.

"Hmm.", they laugh again. "You definitely set yourself some exciting challenges."

If no one objects, Endure collects a set of simple but well crafted short tublers splitting out the cider to each and keeping the bottle for herself. "Made these for the original owners of Qelline's Alderleaf Farm. Bought them back when they sold and went East. We will not speak of the drastic failures that came before them. Definitely see Thel at Dendrar Woodworking if you want anything decent. Nearly every modern item of that medium in my home and every repair came from him. His daughter is very skilled in the craft too."

"To your time in Phandalin and the Sword Coast. May it be productive and profitable.", Endure toasts you, "I look forward to knowing you better."

TT happily accepts and drinks 

"If you would like to purchase anything I have on hand or commission something let me know.", Endure says to the party assembled. 

 If there are any questions or business she'll address them, otherwise she'll say, "You're a good lot, seem to be at least, drop by as you like."

"If we don't have other business, I do need to get back to it." 

Doesn't seem to be too much TT is interested in at the moment 

"Well, I need to run the wolves and get them out for another hunt. They're doing great not going after livestock and I want to keep it that way. I will catch up later or meet you all in the early morning at Barthen’s Provisions, yeah?", says Blaire 

((     Blaire, Goblin, Wolf run and hunt ... 

     Stealth: 4, Survival: 22, Perception: 23

     Stealth: 8, Survival: 18, Perception: 23

     ))

After a good hunt, sorting out the game, helping a bit more at the farm, being sure the wolves and goblins are all set for the evening, and making some trades and small purchases from Qelline, Blaire will take a cold bath, put on one of the new outfits she bought, pull together a basket including that third bottle of cider and a bottle of gramps beat wine, some bread, cheese, herbed butter, and wrapped deer steaks, and go knock on Endure's door. 

"Well, hello, don't look lovely."

"Hey! Oh! Thanks! I thought I'd bring a bit of a picnic to chat you up a bit. ... we'll need to cook the steaks though."

Endure laughs, "That's very lovely and perfect timing." They step back into their home beckoning Blaire in. "We were just sorting out our evening and reaffirming a fondness for redheads."

"We?", Blaire asks as the door shuts behind them. 

Robwin doesn’t need any more supplies right now. He’s not looking to buy, or order, any enchanted items just yet, and he doesn’t need any gems or gem-dust for the time being either.

Later in the day he’ll try to find Elsa, assuming she’s working in the Inn, to let her know they’ll be heading out tomorrow now, and see if she wanted to hang out again after her shift or if he can help with her behind the bar doing anything simple.

Robwin catches up with Elsa just before her shift in the late sfternoon. She laughs at his desire to work his way into her shift at the inn, "that's sweet", but he'll have to let her work. "It'll be worth the wait Robwin." and with that and a kiss she's into her work. 

If anyone has dinner at the Inn, Sildar will catch them and pay them ten gold as payment, reward or thanks for getting him out of the Cragmaw clan imprisonment and to Phandalin. 

He is still gathering information and may have more details in the coming days. 

For anyone who does not show he will leave their portion with Eli.

He is very amicable and willing to speak with any of the party members if they choose. 

Wolfsong, needing no other supplies for time being, spends some time back at the farm going over his gear, checking the traps he has, checking his blade for damage, and other things like that. After Bliare leaves for Endure's place Wolfsong goes out hunting solo leaving behind most of his gear and instead gives himself to the Wilds letting his beastial rage loose, pushing himself to test his limits, hunting more as a beast than a man.

(Rolls for his hunt:

Stealth: 18 Survival: 13 Perception: 17 ))

At the thatched shed, Carp eventually finds his way back to Ikki, the clan and the wolves. He walks in as Scraps is squarely repromanding Jack. 

"Well, that was a bit scary.", Carp says. 

"Jack young. Still want to play. Scraps old, tired, grumpy. He sleep.", Gaatbort tries to explain. 

"Oh, yeah, I get it."

"Why you come?", Gaatbort asks

Carp looks at Gaatbort, glances at Gralk, then says, "Oh, yeah! Mum, noticed you liked the tea. I brought some and cups and some meal cakes. Mum said this cup might be better for you Mr. Ikki. She noticed I was coming."

"Come sit with us.", Gralk invites. 

In halfling, *click "you like goblin" *click

In halfling, "Well yeah! And you too and the others. Oh! Mr. Ikki, you have to talk to gramps."

In halfling, *click "when we come back" *click 

In common, "Oh, you're leaving?"

Gralk answers, "early morning, yes, to speak to king Grol. Find Rockseeker."

"Is that a miner; a Rockseeker?", asks Carp.

"Don’t know. Glufs says person or maps or both.", Gralk answers 

"What you say with Ikki?"

"Oh, that's halfling. I said I like you and he should talk with gramps.", Carp answers and gets a little red checked. 

"Hmm. I like you.", Gralk answers 

Carp is passing out tea and meal cakes (lightly sweetened cornmeal muffins) even to Farx. "Even when you're bad,  you should eat, right?"

Gaatbort tells Farx something in goblin, what Carp said perhaps? Farx nods takes the cake and tea gently and slowly tastes both. He makes a comment in goblin. Gralk and Glufs laugh.

"What?"

"He say, if bad treated like this how any good?", Glufs says 

"Oh, well no one wants a whipping. And this is just a small kindness. Being good and working hard makes everything better. Like good bread and cheese and flavored meats, and pickled apples and honey. We make it better for ourselves when we all do better.", Carp says sharing what he's heard so many times from gramps and mum.

Gralk does her best to translate what Carp said.

They chat for a while mostly Carp telling stories about Phandalin and his adventures around the town. Ikki and Gralk asking questions every now and then and Gaatbort telling of the recent hunts. 

Eventually, Carp gathers the empty pitcher and cups. "Good night. I hope you come back soon."
