"Ribar Oshary, would you like to join the group under my direction. We would pay a half share of treasure found, which is our standard arrangement"

Ribar hems and haws for awhile, but eventually agrees to join the party.

"Excellent, welcome aboard! I have a horse and some general adventuring gear you can have. If you need anything else we can go shopping". He looks at the others "I believe the group has agreed to give you use of an enchanted shield in our possession"

Tyrol Macneth

The magic-user regards Telemachus with a somewhat smug appearance. "I have, in my library, all of the commonly known spells from circles one to three. I have books containing more esoteric spells, as well; at least one or two of the ones you have in the damaged spellbook. I do not know you well enough to let you peruse my library, but would be willing to sell you a scroll or two containing the spells you desire. You could do what you will with the scroll; you may read and memorize the spells contained within, or cast the spells, thus discharging the magic. As to your other question, I am not aware of any such spells. It may be possible, but I have not encountered anything like it, save the lesser magics that some can use at will."

"I'm definitely interested in Magic Missile, and perhaps interested in Fly as well. How much would you charge for those? 1,000 gp per level of spell?"

Feargus

Before leaving town, Feargus checks in with Reker Nus on the identification of the spear and mask. He also purchases a pair of crowbars, a pack of iron spikes and a small hammer.

"That is correct."

"That is correct."

Telemachus

"I will purchase a scroll of Magic Missile from you. I think that I'll pass for the nonce on the Fly spell. Perhaps when my fortunes turn a bit for the better. I will send my Factor here in a week to pick up the scroll."

[thirdkingdom]

Tyrol Macneth

"I've got that scroll on hand, if you'd like it now. It's one of the more commonly requested scrolls, to be honest."

[sulldawga]

Telemachus pays up for the scroll and thanks the mage for his services.

I think I'm ready to get back to adventuring!

Gardo

Learning that the group is staying in town for several days, he lets Mariusz take time off to do whatever. He speaks with Notai and encourages her to sell off her remaining items. If not, she can either decide to store them here with their factor or load them up with Mariusz on his horse, keeping her from being encumbered. He will attempt to rest to restore his HP, accepting any assistance from the others to speed up the healing.

During this time, he speaks with his new hireling. "Notai, as you have lived further north of here, do you know anything about the area we are heading into?" He will reference the map and point to the area above Alice. "Also, we encountered something unusual recently. We came across evidence of a different kind of people, a people who looked similar to the pigs humans now breed and raise. I think Telemachus said they were.... moychn? Know anything about them?"

Notai

"No, I'm not familiar with that area. I came south to the east of here. And I've never heard of mochyn, either. Sorry."

Fourthmonth, Fifthday
Rhea's Ford

The adventurers wake in the morning, ready to plan their next course of action.

[Pulpatoon]

Aldus: "Does anyone know anything about manticores? How should we equip ourselves before going and looking for some?"

[sulldawga]

Telemachus

"Perhaps we should consult a sage while we are here and see what we can learn. We'll want to lure them out and kill them on the ground, so we can climb to their lair and loot it in peace."

[thirdkingdom]

Are you guys going after the manticores or the monastery?

[sulldawga]

I am in favor of the monastery first but we might as well talk to a sage about the manticores while we're here in Rhea's Ford.

Newton

"If we are going to look for the monastery, perhaps some of us should inform the Prince's representatives, they may have more information for us. The others could go looking for a sage who knows about manticores"

[VonAlric]

Newton

"If we are going to look for the monastery, perhaps some of us should inform the Prince's representatives, they may have more information for us. The others could go looking for a sage who knows about manticores"

Gardo

"We came here to travel north to find that monastery. It is good to think about finding more info on manticores if that is our next order of business after the monastery. Let's get any other info about what is north of here and then head that way. Quicker we clear the road and make contact, the quicker we can get paid."

[sulldawga]

Telemachus

"I am fine leaving now and worrying about manticores later."

[The_Wanderer]

Feargus

"Might I propose that we have our new factor identify a sage for us and send word for us when said sage has been found? It's not so far to travel here when needed."

[sulldawga]

Feargus

"Might I propose that we have our new factor identify a sage for us and send word for us when said sage has been found? It's not so far to travel here when needed."

Telemachus

"This is a good idea. He can even ask the questions for us. We need not be present at all."

Tolniel Fer, Factor
Rhea's Ford

Fer promises to do what he can regarding the research into the manticores. "I believe that both the Prince and his seneschal, a man called Barliam, will be too busy to speak to you. I have had dealings in the past with Barliam's Deputy, who is called Pord, and is generally a reasonable man. I can see if I can get you an appointment. It might not be until tomorrow, though."
