Caldath looks around in confusion for a moment, then his eyes light up with relief as he realizes he's being spoken to, "That's me, right? Yes, I'm fine. No worries here."

Grigor replies with a mixture of confusion and concern: "Yes, that's you... are you sure you're alright? It doesn't seem like you to be confused about your name."
Though it took a great deal of patience, over the course of several days, the party was able to successfully clear the mine of buzzjewels by poisoning them with pearls and pearl fragments. There were tense moments: Raja and Grigor were swarmed and covered by buzzjewels searching their packs for gems and required supreme control and willpower to remain still; Griffen and Warren were both bitten, but were able to withstand the painful effects of the buzzjewels’ venom; Caldath was nearly bitten, but a very quick and almost supernaturally accurate movement by Wick managed to slip a pear fragment between Caldath’s flesh and the bug’s mouth, resulting in a dead bug and an unscathed Caldath. In all, the party managed to clear the mine in 3 days and return to Borgstrand safely.
[OOC: I have removed 3 days’ worth of rations from each character. Andy and Kennedy may continue the conversation between their characters on the assumption that it took place while clearing the mine (or later if preferred) and anyone may join in. You have a little bit of downtime in Brogstrand before the next adventure finds you.]

"Alright tell me true, who are you, why am I here, and who are they?" At the last he gestures around to everyone else.
Griffen would like to look into reopening the mine.
He assumes a crew is needed. Is the old crew still around?
Some may be. Make an investigation check to ask around town in a general way. If applicable, tell me if Griffen intends to ask a specific person (and who).

WHAT DO YOU WISH TO DO?
Warren will visit some of the public hot spots (taverns, open markets, etc.) to catch any word of people needing aid.

Please make either a Perception check or an Investigation check. The type of check should be determined by whether Warren is simply keeping an ear and eye out (perception) or actively asking after such things (investigation). Your call.

Warren picks up several rumors, but the only one that seems germane to his purpose is that a local merchant was expecting a shipment of various food items (salt, wheat, wine, pine nuts, etc.) which failed to arrive. It was supposed to be traveling on the main road and was due almost a week ago. He would be willing to pay the value of the goods he was to pay the merchant plus a 100 gp bonus to anyone who could produce the shipment before he runs out of stock (which he estimates he will do in the next three days).
Is the husband of the proprietor who we found dead still in town?
Also can I ask around town (primarily the tavern) to try and find the old crew / leads?
Sir Raphail Manolou (the former fiancée of the deceased) has returned to High Hills in the south.
The proprietor of the inn and tavern in which the party stays is able to tell Griffen that the group of dwarves originally hired to work the mine all left for some other job shortly after the Khol Tharum mining operation was shut down. That said, he does note that several of the local townsfolk took on odd jobs for the dwarves and that, with a competent foreman to whip them into shape, they might prove adequate to the purpose. He has no suggestions to offer regarding where to find a local foreman, however

Wick takes this time to explore the area and learn about the local animals.

Some may be. Make an investigation check to ask around town in a general way. If applicable, tell me if Griffen intends to ask a specific person (and who).
[This also accounts for a much earlier nature check which was a 19 - my apologies for having missed it!]
In his exploration and observations of the local area, Wick stumbles upon something very interesting...

Grigor is going to spend some more time hiking the woods outside of town, familiarizing himself with the local wildlife.
