Re-Cap of the Minx Brothers' answer to Kerlan's questions:

Kerlan begins setting up camp. During dinner, he asks about a few of the rumors they heard after defeating the Ogres. He asks about Larin Karr, the "Birds of Prey," The Wyrm of Quail Valley aka Larentiss, and a witch living in the forest.
You can just summarize the info instead of having the two brothers bounce back and forth while talking.
"Yes, yes, Bostwick is the name of the town, thank you!" [OOC: DM's Brain Cramp] "Larin Karr, now there's a name I've not heard for a long time. Last I heard he was dead. He was a wizard like you fellows. Well, not like you fellows, because his heart was as black as his skin -- he was Drow, you know. Yes, the world is much better off without Mr. Larin Karr."
Then Borden speaks up, "I'm not so sure that I'd take the news of his death to heart so easily. Villains with as much power as Larin Karr had, HAS, are bound to have a few tricks up their sleeve to cheat death at least once."
Garsen then continues, "Yes, well, I guess you're right, Borden, but I've heard several times that he was dead, and I certainly haven't seen him around lately, have you?? Anyway, back to your questions: The Birds of Prey are a band of adventurers like yourselves in the Valley. I have not seen them for some time, either. Larentiss is real. A witch, a witch, I don't know. Borden, do you suppose they mean Old Sascha??"
"Sascha is a wizard lady that lives in the forest with her two pet ogres. That's why I call her a witch. She is not a troublesome sort, and keeps to herself mostly, but she's not the sort you would want to depend upon, either."
"Pet Ogres? That doesn't sound good. But she's a wizard, huh? We may pay her a visit sometime." Kerlan continues talking during dinner. They all share in telling them about taking the keep back and what they found about the Crushed Skull Orcs. As the dinner ends he thanks the brothers and wishes them goodnight.

As Kerlan is rising, Borden says, "I don't know that I'd be taking such a casual attitude to dropping in for a visit with Sascha, if I was you. The term 'witch' is not applied to her casually, and I have heard that she is fully deserving of that appellation, though, thankfully, Garsen and I have been lucky enough to maintain a healthy distance from her, so we don't know firsthand."

Capizzio gets up with a strech and a yawwwwwn as he moseys over to the fire for rations for breakfast. he really has little to say this morning. looking about the asses the general attitudes of those present.
The wizards, as per usual, begin to awaken shortly before dawn. (Old habits die hard, and you learned to get up early at Whirtlestaff's, because anyone still abed when the first rays of sunlight began creeping above the horizon typically found themselves scrubbing chamber pots, copying scrolls endlessly, "volunteering" as subjects for the Advanced Polymorph Lab, and other even more unsavory tasks.) At any rate, this morning the wizards are treated to delicious smells and cheery sizzling sounds when they awaken. Borden is seated at the table already, knife and fork in hand, napkin tucked into his shirt, and ravenous hunger in his eyes. "Ah, the wizards awaken. Come ahead lads and ladies, and join me."

Curious as to what might be on the menu this morning, Tylara gathers her things quickly and moves to join Borden. "So what's made you so chipper this morning?" she asks.
Manny, having remained quiet throughout the 'negotiations,' participates actively in the dinner discussion afterward. In the morning he is chipper as always, takes a bowl of grain cereal for his breakfast and is soon ready to go.

at tylara's question, Capizzio quips up with a response before borden can answer, "Food is what makes a man chipper this early in the mornig!" he then joint the others at the table.

"Aye, lad, you have the right of it! Me belly began a-growlin just after midnight! And, frankly, I don't see how that wee feller keeps body and spirit together, with such a poor excuse for a meal," he is looking at Manny as he makes this last remark.
As to Tylara's curiosity regarding the meal, the Brothers Minx prepare quite the hearty spread for their guests. There are sausages, "ham," bacon, porridge, buscuits, fruits of various sorts, honey, and milk.
OOC: The wizards awakened, fed, washed, and their spells prepared, what activity has now risen to the top of the day's agenda, and what specific actions are taken to bring it to fruition?
The Brownie polishes off his bowl of grain cereal with an amused look 'round at his comrades.
"Some folks attribute our long lives to our very healthy diet . . . I myself just prefer to eat light. And I find the grains tasty. Of course, they're better fermented! I thank you for your hospitality, sirs.
Shall we be off to find the White Fist Orcs, then?"
Kerlan stops to cast Mage Armor on himself. He looks around to get his bearings and says, "I think they said to go this way." He then moves off to the south, following the stream into the hills.
OOC: Kerlan recasts Mage Armor if it runs out during the day. The duration is 5 hours so it should only happen once.
Ok, for simplicity's sake, we'll just gloss over the river-crossing part of your journey and say that you have made it back to the south side of the River Wren. Now, the Gaskar Hills stretch out before you to the south, extending as far to both the east and the west as you care to look. What direction do you travel? What are you looking for? Oh, at this point, there is no stream on the southern side.
[8/07/09 edit: I was looking at the map cross-eyed last night, and had you in the wrong place, but it's fixed now.]
