Quin makes his way through town, with the townspeople beginning to move out into the streets in the early morning light. Heading down the street, the rogue didn't immediately notice the sign, but, there, right where the bartender said it would be, was a small sign, about 10 feet in the air, with an elephant trunk holding a bag, possibly of gold.
Entering the shop, Quin notices how small the shop is. It is barely 8 feet by 8 feet in area. Behind a counter at the back of the room, sat a large creature, with the head of an elephant. The loxodon looks up, and says "Yes, how may I help you?"
His shopping list includes: 2 bars of soap, 2 flasks of oil, fine ground pepper (red or black), a candle and a handful of fairly thick straw ( about as thick as a regular drinking straw).
If he finds the soap, chop it up and mix with oil until it becomes a nice glutinous mass, rebottle.
Straw and pepper: pepper in straw tubes sealed with a bit of candle wax.

*Lorgar, having no need for anything at the moment, stays at the inn. He has prepared all of his gear, and simply awaits for the others untill they are ready to move out.*
"Sounds great! I'll take it." Says Quin, not wanting to waste time haggling. He pays the man, collects his item, and heads back to the Three Bridges Inn to meet back up with the others. If he spots any of them on his way he will join them in finishing their errands.
Without looking up from what he is working on, the blacksmith says "I have hoes, horseshoes, nails, flails, shovels, picks, and plows. People say I make the best plows in the upper valley. And, if you need something else, I can probably make it for you."
"There's weapons over in that bin, and I have a couple shields available. I can make other types of weapons too. I only make armor on request. Half payment up front, and the rest when the armor is finished."
Looking over to where the blacksmith was pointing, Lukas sees a large barrel with several spears and the hilt of swords sticking out of the barrel."
In the barrel, Lukas sees three spears, four short swords, and two long swords. Two shields are present behind the barrel.
As Lukas and Quin are looking into the barrel, a small boy comes up behind them and pulls on Quin's sleave before saying "Mistress Vothrolo sent me to find you. She says that if you are to make Three Falls by nightfall, you will need to be leaving shortly."
Lukas is able to purchase 20 crossbow bolts for 1 gp.
Back at the Inn, Vothrolo has already directed the stable boy to bring their horse around. After the party has gotten all of their gear out of the rooms, and mounted their horses the party sets off through town. Mid-morning is fairly quiet in the town, with most people out working in their agricultural fields. A few women can be seen going around shopping, with loafs of bread and various fruits poking out of the baskets they are carrying. Out of town, agricultural fields are present as far as the eye can see to the west. To the east, the fields seem to come fairly close to the dark shape of the Blokendrohl Forest. In this section of the Tralbibo Valley, agricultural fields are everywhere. Farmers can be seeing leading teams of oxen in plowing the fields. Every now and then the party passes someone along the side of the road pulling up weeds and placing them in baskets.
During the day, the party passes through several villages, which Vothrolo names off as the party passes through: Dry Bridge, Ironcrest, and Meander. Passing through Dry Bridge, the road stays on flat ground paralleling the river, but, a large bridge can be seen off to the east. Vothrolo notes that the bridge was built during the Kwalmendi Empire, but, the ever meandering river moved well away from the river centuries ago. But, the bridge is still maintained by the town. After passing through Ironcrest, the sound of water falls start to be heard. Near dusk the party passes the first of the falls, with the road cut into the cliff side. This fall is only about 10 feet high. Descending the cliff face, the party has a decent view of the town. It is the largest town the party has seen in awhile. While not a true city like Gillesburg, it is definitely much larger than any of the other towns the party has encountered in the Tralbibo River Valley. As the party moves along the road, people can be seen lighting the street lights that parallel the road. It is dark by the time the party gets to the second falls, which is only slightly larger than the first water fall, maybe 15 feet in height. Once below this fall, the road is a paved with cobblestones. Even with the noise of the horses hooves on the cobblestone, the party hears the roar of the first fall. In this area, the houses are larger and better made than the houses above the second fall. Before the party reaches the first fall, Vothrolo leads the party onto a side road for another ten minutes before arriving at a large house.
"This house is the headquarters of the Kwalmendi Association. We hold meetings here, and scholars sometimes stay here to work in the library and archives. We'll be staying here for the night. I sent word ahead last night, so they should be ready for us."
True to her word, as the party enters the yard, two boys come up to take the horses around to the stables. When the Vothrolo opens the front door of the house, the smell of cooking fish permeates the house.
"Mmmm, something smells good. All this riding has given me a powerful hunger. Let's see about some grub!" chirps Quin as he did mounts and looks about for someone to show him the kitchen.

Quiller, realizing that the potential profits were minimal when balanced by risk, heads for bed.
Next morning he’ll be up at dawn and get some breakfast. After hearing what Volotho has to say about the days traveling, he will go shopping.

"Goodmorning! I'm in need if a jewlers loupe. I was told I might find one here." replies Quin.

*Lorgar, having no need for anything at the moment, stays at the inn. He has prepared all of his gear, and simply awaits for the others untill they are ready to move out.*
Quiller has little trouble getting his supplies, with the various items costing him a gold piece.
For Quin, the loxodon replies, "Yes I do have a jewelers loupe. It is very well made, and will cost you 15 gp."
Lukas spends the day gathering supplies for himself, restocking any lost arrows, looking at armor/weapons, etc.
"Sounds great! I'll take it." Says Quin, not wanting to waste time haggling. He pays the man, collects his item, and heads back to the Three Bridges Inn to meet back up with the others. If he spots any of them on his way he will join them in finishing their errands.

Lukas is able to find a blacksmith who has some weapons available.
"what do you have on offer?"
Without looking up from what he is working on, the blacksmith says "I have hoes, horseshoes, nails, flails, shovels, picks, and plows. People say I make the best plows in the upper valley. And, if you need something else, I can probably make it for you."
"and when it comes to weapons and defensive armors?"
"There's weapons over in that bin, and I have a couple shields available. I can make other types of weapons too. I only make armor on request. Half payment up front, and the rest when the armor is finished."
Looking over to where the blacksmith was pointing, Lukas sees a large barrel with several spears and the hilt of swords sticking out of the barrel."

Quin ambles about a bit after procuring his new tools. He sees Lukas haggling with a blacksmith so he wanders over.
"Hey there! So what exactly are you looking for? Maybe I can help." he offers.

"weapons, armor, ammo, whatever is needed to survive."
In the barrel, Lukas sees three spears, four short swords, and two long swords. Two shields are present behind the barrel.
As Lukas and Quin are looking into the barrel, a small boy comes up behind them and pulls on Quin's sleave before saying "Mistress Vothrolo sent me to find you. She says that if you are to make Three Falls by nightfall, you will need to be leaving shortly."
(at that point i might as well fill up on ammo and call it a day.)
