Queanys' eyebrows furrow as he watches Fragum appear to converse with a mouse. Although he has seen Fragum chat with a few birds back when they were on the airship, it did not make it any less disconcerting. Queanys also notices Bignose's wagon ahead and so he tells Fragum, "I'm going to go see if I can get us some climbing equipment. I'll be back in a few minutes." He looks to Runvial to see if the elf wants to join him given that he knows Bignose, but regardless, Queanys starts walking upwards towards Bignose hailing him as he walks, "Hello there Mr. Bignose!" As he arrives at the gnome's wagon, Queanys extends his arm and introduces himself, "Queanys, but you can call me Quark. We were wondering if we might purchase some of your climbing equipment."

Fragrum you can ask the mouse more questions if you like you just need to ask the right ones and  

Wyldfryre, Azurre  you recognize the magic Fragrum has cast

Runvial do you remain silent?

Bignose looks at you Quark "Yep, who are you?" 

Fragum asks the mouse more questions "What does the creature look like? Is there anything else in that cave?"

“Ah Losvius, just the gnome we were looking for. This is Queanys, one of my partners. We were looking for some climbing gear, maybe some medical supplies as well, you got anything in your wagon?” Runvial calls out to the gnome.

The mouse tilts its head confused "Didn't you just kill it?"

Bignose Gives  Runvial an odd look 

"Last time you talked to me you said you would string me up"

Wyldfyre, getting bored waiting for the shoppers to return with their treasures, wanders over near Fraggum, while keeping a respectful distance so as not to alarm his new informant, asks, "Learning anything useful from your cute friend?"

“And now i am looking for the string to do so. 😁” Runvial jokes before he gets more serious: “But joking aside, that giant injured two people wich is why i asked for the medical supplies. We also suspect his lair down there, which is why we need the climbing gear. Look, here is the deal, we buy the supplies, wich is just good business and you get a 10 percent cut of the coins we find down there. What do you say?”

I draw in come divine energy to make me more charming and to give me guidance.

Wyldfyre, getting bored waiting for the shoppers to return with their treasures, wanders over near Fraggum, while keeping a respectful distance so as not to alarm his new informant, asks, "Learning anything useful from your cute friend?"

 Fragum firsts responds back to her in mouse. Halfway through the sentence he catches his mistake and speaks to her in common. "That cave is definitely the hill giant's lair."

Wyldfyre nods, "good news.  Hopefully he lived alone.  Now we just need to get down there and back in one piece."

Rudy says to Fragum  "You know, I doubt even a mouse could climb that cliff" then flies off to land on Runvail's shoulder.

Big Nose looks at first frightened then he realizes you're joking "Sure, I've got a climbers kit, fifty gold and if you want I could throw in one of these for two hundred gold" He holds up a rod pushes a button and lets go and it stays in midair 

“Fifty gold for a climber’s kit? That sounds a bit pricy, how many sets are those?” Runvial asks?

Queanys is a bit shocked to see the rod just hovering, but agrees with Runvial that 50 gold for a single climbers kit. He attempts to look a little closer at the small gnome to see if the gnome is trying to pull a fast one. If so, he kindly asks, "We just saved the caravan, do you think you could give us a little discount?"

Insight: 18
Persuasion: 14

(OOC: For starting gold... I just used the starting gold based on this table in the DMG... Let me know if you wanted us to start with something different)

Bignose shakes his head "250 is Cheap enough for a climbing kit and a  immovable rod, I've got one more rod for 100 if you buy all of it"

Runvail has a history with Bignose which makes things difficult 

but he seems genuine the rod you see is a immovable rod

Upon hearing the cave was the lair of the giant, Wyldfyre has thought and goes looking for Azure.  "Azure, dear friend, Fraggum just found out that the cave was the lair of the giant we killed.  Can you maybe just carry me and fly down to it to take a look?  If there's still a threat inside, we can just leave and come back up here."

“My apologies, but I do not know how to fly.” He looks over the edge carefully.

"No, I should be the one to apologize, I do not know what came over me thinking otherwise."

Queanys shrugs and says, "Sure." Queanys hands four of his gemstones to the gnome and says, "These are each worth 100 GP, so consider the extra a little bit of recompense for any history you may have with one of our allies." If Bignose agrees, Queanys trades four gemstones for two immovable rods and a climber's kit.

(OOC: Should I be managing my own inventory? Or are you taking things out and putting them in for us?)

Bignose Nods Hands you the climbing kit and the rods in exchange for the gems "Good luck " And he urges his wagon onward his nose bounces at every bump

ooc: Manage your own please

Runvial would give Queanys two gems for one of the rods, while they return back to the cliff. “I can go first, at least if something goes wrong i can teleport to safety.”

If no one disagrees he will drive two pitons on the ground, secure the extended rope his immovable rod and activate it behind the pitons, so that it looks as if it is hold by the spikes, ideally covered by some grass. He then will slowly start to decent down the cliffside. (Do i need to roll?)
