Alice rambles on and Master Edermath simply smiles. Doing his best to get through this awkward conversation.
When Alice pulls out the head, he's visibly appalled.

Yulya frowns
In Eldaths name - Alice put your trophies away you are bothering Master Edermath!
Alice pouts and packs her trophy away, hoping that Summer will be more appreciative.

Once again Yulya is left with more questions than answers and realizes with dismay that neither the captured bandits nor Kingir, the girls or ow Daran yielded any useful answers.

He bristles,[/i] "I can't fathom her dealings here, though she is quite refined and that is refreshing in this part of Faerûn, I believe her when she mentioned she's some royal mage in training. Again I can't imagine why they waste such training on the young shemlen. Though..." he leans in and whispers, "I saw a certain ring she was wearing, it looked fey, and when I asked about it she simply said it was a ring she acquired and she called it the 'Ring of Summer'. I daresay that ring didn't have that name originally, if you ask me, it was a ring acquired from fey royalty. If I'm not wrong, such a ring is far above even royal means of acquisition," he straightens and looks around, "how that came to be on the hand of a shem, even a royal shem, is the biggest mystery of all. I can only imagine one of its abilities would be to extend life or youth, I can't then be sure how old this shemlen truly is."
Yulyas eyes widen.
Fey?
You believe she might not be a child at all? That would make sense in some way. Then again I cannot say she acts adult-ish...

Yulya remembers her Fey Touched abilities she cannot really explain either

Cat asks the time and Toblen yawns, "too early. It's 6:30, 7:30ish."

You reckon it's likely closer to 7:30.



The warmth is welcome but the otherwise empty tavern seems somewhat wasted.

A lonely cricket chirps as Toblen struggles to stay awake.



[Time to decide what to do next.]

Yulya raises from her chair.
The early bird gets the worm! Let us proceed to Sir Hobnail then to sell our loot and inquire about appropriate clothing! I hope he is already awake!


Yulya leads her party to Hobby and then if there is still time to Harbin should he be around.

Alice stumbles around, trying to put on all available layers of clothes.
Hey, wait up! I'm not that fast!

Not sure what to do, Alice goes to visit the mules and inspects the cart, depositing her loot.
Hmm, that sword and the rings from the guy we cooked! No, I think the nigger had it!

Alice picks up the rings of suffering and short sword of sharp tongue.
Can this be useful? We should have given the other ring to the Candygoddess! As punishment for crashing my ship and stealing Ashleys body...

Alice takes one of Ashley's Alfalfa bricks and tries to feed the mules.

Hey, do you even remember us? You were in this warm stable while we spent our days in this dark mine! Can't recommend it! Be happy you don't have to go up there, we hauled everything down ourselves.
Sorry but Ashley won't be coming back! She's on vacation - forever. Just abandoned you. Can you believe it? And I think she liked you the most! Maybe more than us...

I wonder if we'll take you to the dragon? Won't it be even colder up there? Caaat? What about the mules? Will we bring them up the mountain? I wonder if Summer can teleport us there like Mormesk!

Cat storms ahead to greet the Mules
Sandra Nya and Sophia Nya! Have you been bored Nya? Sorry it's still so cold outside Nya not a good place to be Nya!

Caaat? What about the mules? Will we bring them up the mountain? I wonder if Summer can teleport us there like Mormesk!
Cat scratches her head and shrugs

Nyaa no idea Nya I don't even know where we are going Nya we gotta strategize with Summer Nya and Daran Nya! Daran's been there Nya he should know if we can bring Mules Nya! Didn't Summer say she'll hire porters Nya?

They're out in the grass field such as it is, the frost is so thick on it that it looks like a layer of snow, and the frost has touched the mules as well but they don't seem to mind.



Sandra seems standoffish, though it looks like they both recognize you two, Sophia seems to be the only one happy to see you.

They flick their ears at Alice, and then Sophia nuzzles Cat and pokes her pack perhaps looking for a treat. They don't seem to mind that Ashley is missing in terms of how they're acting.

Once they're given the alfalfa, they're much more attentive and excited to see you, obviously looking for more treats. They look to be in good form and spirits otherwise.

Hobby meets you all outside with Elmina.





Elmina begins, after cordial greetings and welcoming you back, she's down to business: "stabling fees will apply from this moment forward. 1 gold a day for the mules, 2sp a day for cart parking and security."

Hobby adds apologetically, "You did get a slight discount thus far and we didn't charge for parking the cart until now but it is fair to say keeping it out of the weather and under my care will guarantee it's in top shape when you need it next. By the way, I did give it a good once over, greased the shafts and took care of a few minor issues free of charge!"

Elmina looks at him with a sour expression then huffs, "And where are the Gundren brothers? I thought you were off to fetch them or rescue them? And we're still stuck with this abominable everwinter, Edermath assured me you were to fix that as well!? We can't afford any more charity without results!" Her mood shifts suddenly and dramatically calmer and kinder, "If it wasn't for that wonderful miss..."she turns to Hobby "does Summer have a surname?"

"Not that I heard, she simply wanted to be called Summer," Hobby says sheepishly.

"Well if it weren't for miss Summer's bravery in getting supplies out of Triboar, we'd be looking at rationing and waiting to starve to death. The bandits haven't let up or the traders still don't trust the road, in any case we've not received any other shipments regardless of the communications we've sent pleading for more!"

Sandra and Sophia both approach her and attempt to nuzzle her to sooth her agitation, she's unable to resist their charms and smiles thinly as she pats them. Then she looks at Yulya with a piercing glance, "If it wasn't for the company you keep I wouldn't know what to think of you at this point!"

Hobby gives you a an indication using body language that says, 'stay calm and cordial.'
