Nezznar turns around as soon as Muharg starts talking, "Ah you have come atlas to present yourselves in front of I. Well let's have a look at you all."
He then steps forward from the balcony to get a closer look as you all, as if to examine you and to judge whether you fit for the job. "The sea breeze is not something that a young drow is accustomed to," he explains as the examination continues. Though he raises an eyebrow at Qinfaren's remark.
"You will do," he says simply. "I think you will do just fine. The Icebreaker is the two-masted sailing ship over there."
Nezznar then points out at sea with his forefinger on the hand that clutches his staff. You can see the majestic two-masted sailing ship moored on Dragon Beach. Then with his free hand he holds up the thin package in his hand.
"That is the Icebreaker, and that is where I want you to take this letter. Then I want you to deliver this letter to an old accomplice of mine, Griggle Duskloch, who you will find in Fireshear. I do not want anyone else to handle this letter, I have deemed you suitable for the mission, and only you."
Nezznar then places the letter, carefully, into the bag that Qinfaren has opened for him. Then takes a coin purse from a pocket and drops that into the bag too.
"That is your partial payment for this delivery which you will find five gold pieces each."
Nezznar then stands back up right and gives you one final look.
"Now if your business in Luskan is concluded, then I suggest that you head straight to the Icebreaker. I believe that it will be leaving shortly, and you will want to be on it once it does."

"The Icebreaker again?"Bjorn mutters to himself. It seems that their deliveries for the most part were all leading them to the same place. Nodding in thanks towards Nezzar, he then turns to Muharg and Qinfaren, "How many more do we have left?"

"There were six parcels in total, but we only needed to retrieve three of them at our discretion, so we are done with it. I'll give you the details about the Icebreaker question as we go, Bjorn."
Turns back to Nezznar "We will be happy to deliver your letter ourselves, sir. However, maybe that's not what Parcelmaster Lennart has in mind, for which a written request from your side could be useful."
Nezznar smiles, "Oh don't worry. As soon as you mention that I, Nezznar the Black Spider, have made the request for you to personally deliver this letter, your master, Lennart, will understand. There will be no need for a written request."

“In that case sir, we shall better be on our way, it was a pleasure to make your acquaintance mr. Black Spider.” Nods at Nezznar, adjusts his belt while turning towards the staircase and addresses the rest of the group “Shall we then?”
He then approches Bjorn “So here’s the thing, lad. We were to retrieve 3 packages out of a list of six, the other three are going to be taken care of by other members of the Deliverers. Once we got our three parcels we need to bring them with us onto the Icebreaker, on which we will set sale for Icewind Dale, were we will proceed to their delivery.”
Shad stares at the Icebreaker while the others' talk. He was hoping for something bigger, but it will have to do.
He gives the Spider a friendly smile, almost gives him a nice slap on the shoulder but decides against it. He says, "Have a good day," and follows the others down the winding stairs.
"I would like to buy better clothes for the cold, as well Qinfaren," he says. "And daggers. Can't have too many daggers. I'd even like another of this coat, wear it right over the one I've got."
Muharg nods “I could also use a nice coat, maybe even a cloak on top.” Caresses the top of his axe attached to his belt and sighs “And possibly a few javelins will come in handy”
"I hope they have warm clothes in my size," Qinfaren adds. "And in green."
With that he begins the descent down the winding staircase of the lighthouse and heads out onto the beach, sure they will come across some sort of outfitting shops near the docks.
“Green, huh? Green is nice. Not sure it’s the most discreet up there” Shrugs “I guess there are many shades of green and maybe you find one that fits the north if you want it to”
As you walk back up the beach you decide to take the map back out and search for any stores that are close to your route back to Dragon Beach. You notice a trading post near the Ruins of Illusk, on the other side of Harbor Cross.

"Warm clothes will be good, as well as shield if they have one," Bjorn nods in agreement as they head towards the trading post. He may be acclimatized to the cold of the mountains but it never hurt to be safe.
OOC: I'm not sure if Bjorn actually needs warm clothing as he is a goliath?

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Shad will move toward the trading post as well. He is interested to see what's inside. He'll look for daggers, studded leather armor, and coat like the one he wears. Most of all, he tries to gain Insight into the shop owner: 11. Shad looks for clues from body language, speech, and mannerisms to get great deals.He also wonders what interesting stories the merchant might have.
While disappointed that they don't have time to go looking for ghosts, Qinfaren accepts that they do have a boat to catch. He follows along with the others to the trading post, interested in really just find a set of cold weather gear that will fit his large frame and hopefully be in a decent shade of hunters green.
Arriving at the trading post with the others, Bjorn nods at the shop owner in greeting as he enters. The then starts looking for a warm set of winter clothing as well as a sturdy shield.

The shop owner is a human man, his greying hair and the wrinkles that line his face show that he is in his later years. His hands look rough, and his skin is dark, suggesting that he has spent his youth working in harsh conditions. He doesn't offer much of a greeting when you enter, it was barely even a grunt.
Looking around at the man's wares you find various flasks, bottles and pitchers. Some have liquids inside, whilst others are empty. In a corner of the trading post, you find a number of different backpacks which have been filled with different contents inside but are labelled to reveal the intention of the pack. For example, the backpack in the middle is labelled, "For those who seek to explore." The writing is messy and is almost illegible, but you can still just make out the words.
In another corner you find a rack of coats, cloaks, boots, and gloves. Underneath, you find another rack filled with what seems to be a random collection of different items which might be worth while searching. It might be possible to find something of interest in there amongst the junk.

Qinfaren closes his pack back up.
”Well, enjoy your vacation, Mr Black Spider,” he says and turns to join the others.
”I think those of us who need it should stop and pick up some cold weather gear before getting to the ship.”
Shad stares at the Icebreaker while the others' talk. He was hoping for something bigger, but it will have to do.

Well Goliaths have resistance to cold damage, and acclimated to high altitude. And yet they are depicted as wearing fur-lined clothes.

"Terrific," booms Qinfaren. "Let's stop there."
Qinfaren looks where Muharg is pointing on the map. He lets his large finger rest on the Ruins of Illusk near the store.
"Any chance we'll see a ghost? Ruins are usually haunted, aren't they?"
“I’m not sure about that, lad. I feel we should not linger more than necessary, seems our mission is quite time-dependant” Shrugs
