Kathrine smiles at the elf and then the seated man. "Town master huh?" She asks, giving a polite nod of respect to the seated man. ... "May i take a seat? My friends and I are likely to be around for a bit, but I should ask if you have anything you need doing, while we are here."
(The slender chivalrous man is a mixture of elven and human, Katherine sees upon further observation)
The TownMaster looks at her and the companions she has pointed out. He waves for her to take a seat with them next to the fire.
"Good timing for a group of adventurers to find work around here. I was going to be posting this on the door of Townhall tomorrow."
He leans forward with some difficulty due to his opulence, and hands the paper he's been reviewing to Katherine. It reads:
REWARD - Orcs near Wyvern Tor! Those of a mind to face the orc menace should inquire within (OOC not bothering with spoilers since you'll all be comparing information soon)
Daran Edermath clears his throat and says "Harbin, there's the other matter, which I feel is of more threat to the town -"
"Daran, I'm to be addressed as 'Mr. Wester' when acting on official business! We don't want these newcomers to be taking such familiarities." the portly man cuts off the half-elf. "And as to that other matter, you make too much of it, I'm sure."
Grzak either forgetting or never having much manners speaks with his mouth full of eggs and bacon,
”So Gabriel and I are going to the townhall to find out more about the orc menace. Maybe we can also find out more about why the townmaster is not as concerned as the citizenry about the Redbrands.”
Grzak slugs down a mug of water as a chaser, gargling the last swallow to get the remaining food chunks down. He wipes his mouth with his sleeve and stands up from the table. As he adjusts his backpack, leaving nothing behind, he claps Gabriel on the back and asks,
”It’s still early and the townhall might not be open yet. Do you want to wander the streets for a while and get a ‘lay of the land’ as places open up or should we wait for Sildar and go to the townhall with him?”
As Grzak and Gabriel exit the inn to begin their morning constitutional, he suggests,
”Do you want to start by retracing our steps from last night and check what is around the area where our shadowy “friends” were staging our surprise party?”
"That is a good plan, I would imagine they have a look out or two watching the main entrance to the town." Gabriel grins, looks like it might be a busy morning.
(OOC life happened for a few days... Also trying to decide, put up spoilers constantly or just go with saying who I'm posting to, and assume that you guys will all exchange notes when meeting back up? I prefer the latter, and you can PM if there's anything to not post here)
(Old maybe, 40s are the new 20s right? As to being wise, I never claimed that lol)
"Perhaps one of the people we are going to visit knows something. Let's reconvene here at 1400 and compare notes."
(OOC Note: I've decided Alarion uses military time.)

(Kathrine or Cringer's opinions?)
Kathrine and cringer agree with the plan, that they will go and speak with the daren person, and the others will do other things.
ok I'm going with Gabriel's philosophy and may try wine with breakfast, because I have twice the work with the party splitting up, sigh ;)
Sildar will come down the stairs soon.
The mom that Katherine hugged hugs her tight back with appreciation of the kindness, then releases and wipes her eyes.
"Well, if we all agree we had better be off soon."
"Good call Alarion, no time to waste. May Torm guide us. Ready Grzak?"
Grzak slugs down a mug of water as a chaser, gargling the last swallow to get the remaining food chunks down. He wipes his mouth with his sleeve and stands up from the table. As he adjusts his backpack, leaving nothing behind, he claps Gabriel on the back and asks,

Meanwhile, Alarion heads to the Alderleaf farm.
Kathrine and Cringer are ready to head out as well.
"That is a good plan, I would imagine they have a look out or two watching the main entrance to the town." Gabriel grins, looks like it might be a busy morning.
Gabriel and Grzak head out of the inn back north to see if they can find any sign of figures from last night.

Yes, I'd say the latter, since Alarion sad to meet and compare notes at 1400.
(Also, good to have you back. :) )
(having some issues with PBP loading tonight as well as ish-me's ;)
Toblen filled in a map of Phandalin for each group to show the local attractions before you set off.
(Welcome back chief, yup just post to each of us, make it easy for yourself )
