(OOC: Rinaldo gets the impression that most 8 or 9 year old girls wouldn't have much to talk about with a five-year-old, and Laynie, who can hold a conversation with Ashnar or Tenebrynn without a problem, even moreso)
[SBLOCK=Rinaldo]*Rinaldo makes his purchases easily enough. Afterwards, he starts to check his contacts, and after a frustrating false start, he tries again for a few more hours and has some success, finding a fellow trader and an older supplier who have some information:*
*Briarton is a very small village located roughly south-south-east of here. It makes most of its income from farming and the mills on its two tiny rivers. Unfortunately, it was halfway razed to the ground about a year or two ago, but Mayor Lucas Birch and his secretary Lena were able to raise funds for reconstruction. Also, many of the women at that time were captured by orcs, and when they were returned by several dwarves, it caused some unrest as a few townsfolk had figured them dead and married the widows of men who had been killed by the orcs.*
*About the tower--Rinaldo finds nothing for the longest time, but then finally an eldeely supplier who still has a sharp eye for profits mentions that he remembers a tower sort of near Briarton--a big tower where he supplied arcane and eldritch components to some wizards that worked there. But one day when his people came with the shipment, they told him it had disappeared--he almost lost a lot of money on that shipment, that's why he remembers it, and he had to sell everything wholesale to local wizards.*
