    i smile as only a Drow with the blood of 70 years of killing in pitch dark stenching places can smile.
    The deal proceeds faster than the poor shopkeep can follow.

    Therai heads off to the house of the nameless and countless.
    Therai arrives at the main city temple, a fairly austere affair with a large open room of white marble, in the middle of which burns a powerful red flame with little rivers of sand orbiting it. One of the priests walks over.

    "Here as a pilgrim to the flame or something else? The flame does not judge any by their race Master Tiefling."

    Bored of waiting for a response, Retula leaves and tried to find a corner of this cesspool where she can meditate.
    Only now does the bird speak.

    Can I buy some leather working tools and a bit of advice on how to use them please. I can practice making my armour while I'm on the road. Any recommended texts?"

    Later I head to the inn in search of other bards to swap gossip, songs and local information.*
    "That's an interesting challenge my friend, with a magical purpose behind it I imagine. There was bard once...."

    He shares with Mags the tell of Kettle Jonathon, a bard from the North who wore tin pots on which he banged out music in harmony with the spheres of power. Getting up to speed on what Mags already knows, he teaches him a bit about armour modification that is new to him. Furthermore he points him to Whistling Zhak in the Whaler's Inn, who has most of the lore on Jonathon.

    Mags heads to the Whaler's Inn to meet with Zhak and other bards, swapping stories and songs and gaining a book to aid him in his chosen musical form, Jonathon's magnum opus 'Playing oneself".

    Taken in Fargadras's Wood Elven accent and charming mannerisms he acquiesces.

    "Alright, but only 70GP"

    Fargadras smiles.

    'Thankee kind sir!'

    He skips out of the council chambers and heads for North Stagian Street first.

I and some... allies(?) have been given a number of tasks by the city council, not the least of them is showing a group on newcomers to the area the virtues of the deities worshipped here and I... um... I'd like to know what those virtues are. Is there a book I could study while on the road with the panteheon's like, dislikes, and histories? Any gods of weather or storms in particular."

    She bows her head, muttering "as you have ordained, so shall it be." After a short rest (tm) she stretches her legs and makes her way to the guards outside the council chambers to ask for directions to where the equipment and animals are waiting.

    He speaks to another monk and walks off, later returning would a book as large as a man's torso.

    "Perhaps not the most portable, but the most comprehensive. The tome of Bakabar. The desert's major storm god is Akulum, you'll find him on page 456. Is this sufficient?" he asks with a smile on his face.

    Fargadras wanders the street up and down until he sees an unassuming old cobbler's shop that says its closed with people of all ages going in and out. Thieves Guild or his name wasn't Fargadras.

    The guards point Retula to the northern gate where the pack animals have been loaded. For Sarric in particular one horse is laden with spices.

    They've been given a horse each, as well as two camels for the group.

    Within there is an old gnome with a group of about ten younger individuals of various races.

    She looks Fargadras up and down.

    "Wood Elf, and an experienced enough thief, though with much to learn. Why are ye here my boy?"

    Each horse is shockingly more identical than the last.

    "That's... great, thank you. I'll return it unscathed once my job is done." Therai takes the oversized book, bows slightly to the monk, and leaves while thinking to himself, "I hope it's not one of those small print books."

    Therai returns to the area the council building is in to look for his cohorts as he's just remembered he's made no plans as to where to meet up with them before he left.

    Fargadras takes out the diary with the gem in it.

    'I acquired this and was looking to sell it. Fair price now, I've had it valued!'

    He then takes out his thieves tools.

    'Also if I could have these refined and honed, I can pay.'

    Clearly in for another short rest, Retula looks for someone to hex. Or maybe there's some paint drying somewhere?
