Rhogar blinks in confusion, and cocks his head to the side in confusion. ".... Ohh, sorry. You've misunderstood me. I was not asking for one for free or anything like that. I was trying to purchase enough for two castings of it. One for now, and enough to take with me for the future, in the event I require it out in the proverbial field." He explained frankly. "As in paying 60 gold in total for both, to avoid further misunderstanding. But, I do understand if you are limiting how much can be purchased by any one individual given the situation and -- this might be a little presumptuous given your admission -- the Arcane Brotherhood having some sort of deal with you as far as stock as well. In which case, hm.... I will have to figure out alternatives I can use in the field at some point."Following a shake of the head and a sigh, Rhogar looks back to listen to the gnome's response.
Whether its only 60 gold or 30 that can be passed along at the moment, it takes Rhogar a few moments to play back the conversation in his head. ".... Out of curiosity, can you tell me more about this encounter with the Arcane Brotherhood weeks ago? Also, uh.."He looks for Krom; but, upon seeing him gone, he turns and asks, "Huh... This might sound foolish, but the scrolls about are namely for arcane practioners as well, correct? And if so, how much for one containing a spell of the 1st circle?"

As Krom exits the store, Kazri is slightly stunned at the trove of information given by Vellynne. "Madam... Madam Harpell. If you can hold that thought for a moment." She turns to Krom. "Master Krom, perhaps we should get everyone. The madam here has valuable information regarding the Frostmaiden." She then turns back to Vellynne. "Madam, would like to go a more suitable location so that you can tell us more of what you know? It will aid us tremendously in our mission."

"In that case lass, I will inform the others. Maybe we could go to Marta's Inn and speak there." Krom enters the shop one more time and says to Chill, Rekuberk and Rhogar "Come, our lass has found some important information regarding our quest." He waits for their replies before joining again Kazri.
Rhogar blinks in confusion, and cocks his head to the side in confusion. ".... Ohh, sorry. You've misunderstood me. I was not asking for one for free or anything like that.

"Hmm, well yes, we do seem to be miscommunicating a bit. You can buy as much as you want. I'll sell enough for two castings and I'll even throw in the incense needed for 60 gold pieces. As for the Arcane Brotherhood, I've got no special deals with them. A man named Dzaan was in asking questions, looking for some lost Netherese ruins. Couldn't help him with that. Word is the Brotherhood has a couple mages in the area all asking questions about Netherese ruins somewhere in the tundra. Like I told Dzaan, and that one that just left, I don't know anything about Netherese ruins. But I suppose anything could be out in the tundra."
Glancing over at where the scrolls lay.
"Aye, the ones the dwarf was looking at. Some fairly simple spells on scrolls. 100 gp for the simplest (level 1), 250 gp for the others. (level 2)"
He lists off the following spells on scrolls.

Suddenly seeing Chill flip the purple crystal from hand to hand he calls to him "Hey, careful with that, its very special. That's a psi crystal don't break it. 400 gold if you do."
As Krom exits the store, Kazri is slightly stunned at the trove of information given by Vellynne. "Madam... Madam Harpell. If you can hold that thought for a moment." She turns to Krom. "Master Krom, perhaps we should get everyone. The madam here has valuable information regarding the Frostmaiden." She then turns back to Vellynne. "Madam, would like to go a more suitable location so that you can tell us more of what you know? It will aid us tremendously in our mission."
(OOC: @Orileo. Kazri has 60gp. Let me know how much you need.)
Vellynne thinks for a moment. "Hmm, yes, perhaps you could help me, but you would need to prove you are strong enough to aid me. I need some help finding some lost items, and the danger would be great. But we could talk for certain. I presume these others are with you then?"
"Oh yes, Madam Harpell. Our colleague, Mr. Nimbatuul, needs to purchase some ingredients so he can summon his familiar." Kazri points to the inside of the store. "We had an incident with one of the Frostmaiden's follower, and we were able to defeat it. For it turned out to be an undead person that looked very alive. However, unfortunately the familiar was lost in the encounter. I hope that Mr. Nimbatuul is able to find what he needs, and that he can summon Ghorar back." She peeks into the store to see if she can get any update on the status of her companions. "They should be out shortly. If you could just bear with us for a moment."

As Vellynne Harpell finishes to speak, Krom walks out from the shop. "We are a capable group and danger does not scare us, otherwise we will not be here." The dwarf points at the White Dragon cloaks that he and Kazri are wearing. "We crafted those after defeating Cryovain near Phandalin." Krom extends his right hand towards the female wizard "Forgive my rudeness, I'm Krom Firebeard of Axeholm, Smith of Moradin."
"I see, I see. All very useful in their own way."Rhogar admits after hearing the list, and their description however brief it might be. "Hm.... I'll need even more gold for even one such scroll. But, it is good to know them all the same, and give all the more reason to return here."He lets out an almost gravelly chuckle. "My thanks, Mr. Gazzle. And if by chance me and fellows come across supposed Netherese ruins out and about, mayhaps I can pass this along to you. That way, if you are still interested in joining the Brotherhoood, perhaps the bit of clout might go a longer in helping there... and if not, you can always charge them at least for it." He grinned at that, before passing along all 60 gold pieces.
After that and bringing things back to the chamber the gnome mentioned he might use for the summoning, Rhogar is soon stepping inside to commune with Brother Vixix, requesting the return of Gorrah to his side. He hoped -- trusted -- that a watching Rekuberk or Chill might pass along his intentions to the others.

Chill glances over at the gnome who chastised him for playing with such a valuable bauble. He stops playing with the thing and examines it more closely. He then sets it down.
He sees that Rhogar has completed his transaction and is heading into the back room to presumably complete the spell necessary to bring Gorrah back.
"How long will you be so I can tell the others?"
He asks Rhogar as he heads for the door when Krom pops his head in.
As he goes out he sees Kazri and tells her of the crystal.
"I thought maybe that crystal might work to speak to Oli but I think Oli would need to already speak a language for it to work. Is there an owlbear language?"
"Oh, and I think Rhogar is going to be busy for a bit getting Gorrah back."
Rhogar frowns and considers a moment, before holding up and simply saying, "At least an hour, unfortunately. A bit much, I know. But, a necessary.... but necessary." After that, he carried on inside, or intended to at least unless Chill had some concern to add to things.

When you realize you're doing too much: Signature.
Chill comes out and reports that Rhogar will be at least an hour. Hearing the words of Kazri, Vellynne nods. "Yes, it takes at least an hour to summon the familiar back to this place of existence. We will not need that much time to speak."
As Krom speaks of the defeat of Cryovain near Phandalin she raises her visible eyebrow in interest. "So, you are the White Cloaks that removed the dragon threat from the Sword Mountains. Word of your deeds have reached the Hosttower of the Arcane Brotherhood. I have possibly judged you to quickly. I also heard one of you holds Icespire Hold and that mages of good repute have moved in. And you are Krom Firebeard who now rules Axeholm? Interesting indeed."
She pauses a moment considering and then again speaks
“I need your help to find an ancient city buried under the ice. This city, Ythryn, is a lost fragment of the Empire of Netheril, whose wizards created many of the magic items we find scattered across the world today. It holds magic beyond our wildest dreams. We might even find something there to end this hateful winter. Intrigued?”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Krom listens carefully to Vellynne as she explains what her plan trying to read her intentions (Insight14) and then asks "Doyou have an idea of where this city of yours may be? This region is pretty vast and everything could be buried under the ice." He pauses a moment before continuing "Hidden magic and treasures are always intriguing, but you are not sure that we will find something to end this winter.Are you after something in particular? I fear that if left unchecked the Frostmaiden's agents will continue to torment the poor people of Icewind Dale."
Kazri is actually surprised that Vellynne's organization has heard of their deeds, but it is a good surprise for she hopes that The Fellowship is making a positive impact on the region. "Madam Harpell. Our main mission is to investigate this unending winter, and hopefully, if we are able, to put an end to it. We do not wish to waste valuable time going on a fool's errand. I hope you do not take this the wrong way. I agree with my colleague. How sure are you that we may find something that will aid our mission? Why this particular city, Ythryn?" Kazri questions calmly.

"Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life."
"As I told Kazri, Auril is a lesser god. Can you defeat a lesser god, even with your combined strengths?" Vellynne answers Krom. "Cryovain was surely a worthy opponent yet was still only a younger dragon, certainly not an adult. Is an Ancient dragon a concern to a lesser god? I do not have that answer. The Netherese are an ancient culture who possessed many very strong items of magic and wielded great power. Perhaps not enough to defeat Auril, but maybe enough to stop the means to how she is causing this endless winter. As for its location, I have not discerned that yet, though I am working on it. it is supposedly somewhere in the Reghed Glacier, which stretches for more than 50 miles. I also know that it is sealed with magic, the same magic that prevents me from divining its location. Additionally an object called the Codicil of White is needed to open it but I don’t know where the codicil is either."
Krom discerns that she seems truthful in her desire to find this lost city and that it may contain the magic needed to defeat the endless winter.
"Very true Krom, unchecked the Frostmaiden's agents will continue to torment the poor people of Icewind Dale. Do you wish to put out small fires or go to the heart of the matter and stop Auril herself?"
"Yes that would be me and the mage in question is my father Talion Onc. He is an independent wizard but has been well known on some parts as an adventurer for many years." Rekuberk says as he joins the others, listening to the task the Harpell Wizard has for them.
Krom nods at Chill's reply "We travelled to this region hoping to be resolve this eternal winter problem while helping as much as possible the people of the Ten-Towns. We aim to go to the heath of the matter while putting out a lot of small fires." The dwarf pauses for a moment before continuing "So I think that we could find a way to work together towards both goals. If Ythryn holds the key to end this eternal winter, Auril's agents may know its location or may have the Codicil you speak of. So far we have identified some of her agents, a druid responsible for the awakening of a giant creature in the lake near Bremen and two tieflings linked to a shard of black ice that seems to change the behaviour of the person holding it.We could continue our travels in the Ten-towns trying to solve the problems caused by Auril's agents while actively looking for information about that lost city and that key." Krom pauses again "We could join forces and periodically exchange information on the matter. I'm sure that a wizard as yourself knows the arcane equivalent of the hymn ofSendingso distance should not be a problem."
“Are you able to give us more information about this Codicil of White?” Questions Kazri thinking that they would need to find this item before locating Ythryn.

"Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life."
"A sending eh? That would be a good means to communicate in need. That will work." She answers Krom. "As for the Codical, it was written and guarded by Auril’s followers, The Codicil of White is rumored to contain a spell or ritual that can carve a passage through the Reghed Glacier, under which the lost city Ythryn is buried.”
“Most of the information I have about Ythryn and the Codicil of White comes from a family heirloom: a professor orb named Professor Skant. Before he could give me all the details, he was stolen from me by a rival before I even got to Icewind Dale. She travelled here by ship more than a month ago, but never arrived, as far as I can tell. Recently, I heard a whale oil merchant from Bryn Shander talk about a ship wreck by the coast in the Sea of Moving Ice – likely the Dark Duchess, the ship the thieving Nass Lantomir travelled on.”
"I suggest we split our efforts to begin with. While you work on figuring out where the Codicil is, I'll work on figuring out the location of the entrance of Ythryn."
“One of my colleagues, a Red Wizard of Thay named Dzaan, was burned at the stake in Easthaven not long ago. His death is inconsequential, of course, but the reason is not: the townsfolk executed Dzaan because he had killed a band of adventurers who helped him find a spire that had broken off from Ythryn itself when it fell. If I can find this spire, it may possess knowledge or magic that can help us figure out where to find its entrance in the glacier!”
“Additionally there’s a prison here in the north called Revel’s End, where a former colleague of mine is imprisoned. He betrayed the brotherhood and the laws of Icewind Dale, and has been excommunicated by the brotherhood. I have reason to believe, however, that before his imprisonment, Vaelish Gant acquired valuable information about how to enter Ythryn or the Codical, or both.”
