Aurlan, this is a mysterious new land and there are many unknown creatures at the depths of the oceans. However, you do recall hearing a story of a band of travelers who died due to a large creature that somewhat fits this description. Strangely enough, you remember that this band of travelers died from poison associated with the creature.

Do you all intend to seek the wine merchants before finding the ship?

Fayne follows the group. She doesn't object to their decisions anymore but she doesn't speak much either. For now anyway.

Kiera returns with her armour and tabard on and her sheild on her back her hood down and smiles "Ready when you all are!"

She looks down at Fayne with a concerned look "You need not worry little one we are simply going for a talk right now!"

"I am not concerned about this talk, I am concerned about tonight. I don't like it at all. Perhaps you're all sure of your powers, but I don't even understand mine."

"Well there must be a reason we were all brought together, perhaps the reason your here is to understand your powers?" Kiera smiles

"I hope you're right... I hope you're right."

Aurlan pipes up: "I'm sure you'll be alright - you did admirably during the boat situation so I'm sure your abilities will certainly be of use."

He thinks a bit. "Kiera, I believe you have healing abilities. I remember something about a creature like this - something about travellers dying to its poison. Do you have anything for curing it, should we hit with something like that?"

Kiera nods "I could cast that spell yes, but I am afraid I did not have it granted to me today, I would need to rest again to have it granted"

"It might be worth resting for it, then. It would give us the rest of the day to prepare - and to explore a bit more! The job is important, yes, but we aren't in a life-or-death hurry."

 "Perhaps but we should go to see this wine merchant beforehand"

'Yes let us head out. Perhaps we can spy some shops on the way. One might have some anti-toxin'

You make your way through the bustling Port Ward, a bustling grouping of buildings adjacent to the docks. After multiple minutes, you arrive in the main plaza area. There are many tree stumps that have been mounted on the stone floor of the plaza, and these stumps have signs nailed to them, directing people to many different locations. You see that the plaza is surrounded by the even-busier Trade Ward, with several streets of shops and stands, with traders and sellers walking about trying to haggle potential buyers. You also see signs to the Wine Chapel Ward, which is advertised to contain several of the large wineries, including the Andelia Family Wine Company, the location of the wine merchants the sign instructed you to seek.

You can look in shops, try to go to the Andelia winery, or just explore the plaza and city (to name just a few options). What would you like to do?

Kiera will look around to see what shops are here and see if there are any blacksmiths etc.

"I wonder if there are any good blacksmiths here"

Kiera sees all types of shops. There are multiple bakeries and stands that sell fresh produce, as well as potion shops, book stores, and far more. You do notice a blacksmith and a weapon/armor store. They both appear to be open and functioning.

Fayne points at a potion shop. "There. I'll go check if there's anything that might help us inside." She nimbly walks through the crowds into the shop.

If Fayne is looking for anything in particular in the shop, please make a Perception check.

She's looking for anything that might be able to cure poison. Perception 20.

Kiera follows behind Fayne knowing full well she doesn't have the funds to buy herself a new sword yet and says "You know after our rest I'll be able to cure poison myself Fayne? Still it probably is best to have a backup I suppose"

"We might not buy it, but it's better to at least know there's the option. Besides, if we survive after tomorrow, we should probably start getting to know the city."

"Very true!" Kiera smiles brightly "I wanna see whether that smith can teach me as well when we have some money, I need to learn how to make swords, it's not something I got taught where I am from"
