Commander Jacobson shakes her head. "I can guarantee that the shipping isn't the problem. The dairy is located an hour's ride off Sending Way, and there's a trade depot at the crossroads. Outside Venza, the way it usually works is that the various tradesmen and farmers bring their goods to a depot, and then one of the caravan companies picks it up and transports from there to the city. Most of the major roads into Venza have a depot every league or two, and there are a couple of companies that handle the transport from there.

"No one has been interfering with the caravans. We'd know about that. According to both of the drovers I spoke to, the cheese simply hasn't been at the depot, and no one has seen the Weathersmiths themselves for a few days. Whatever the problem is, it's at the dairy itself."

Her brows furrow at mention of rivals. "I honestly couldn't tell you if the cheese business is that cutthroat. I expect not, but I've been surprised before. As far as additional information, I don't have any. That's why we're contracting third parties to investigate. All we know is that a very respected businessman has suddenly and without explanation started missing shipments, and we'd like someone to find out why."

Pirvinia von Lichenstein, Human Female

Pirvinia nodded as the Commander really had no idea what they could face. “So for all you know, the Weathersmiths could have all come down with the plague or have been eaten by a dragon that did not like the cut of their cheese…”

“Or perhaps like their cheese cutting all too well,” she muttered.

“Very well, I shall accept this quest, assuming the Whitecloaks will pay accordingly.”

She looked at the others assembled, “We should probably move quickly, I would purchase a horse if you all do not have one already. We should also try to be prepared for anything and everything.”

Tsaaruk stands and offers his help. "My shield and hammer are pledged to aid this mission. I am ready to go." The large warrior looks to Samad "What of you my friend, will you join us once again?"

"I will take the job as well," Iago tells the guard. Then he turns his attention to the group of adventurers at the table, who are apparently led by the human woman.

Commander Jacobson nods. "Then it's settled. I'd appreciate it if you left as soon as possible. I'll send word to Jacus at the Grand Stable to provide you with mounts on the Whitecloaks' account. To get to the Weathersmiths, take the East Gate out of the city, then take Sending Way at the fork. It's about a day's travel down Sending Way to the Chester Cross depot, and there are plenty of inns to stay at along the way. Once you get to the depot, turn north, and you'll reach the cheesemakers in hour or so. Good luck, and I look forward to your report." She turns toward the door and then pauses. "Unless the missing cheese has something to do with rats. Or wererats. Or rodents of any kind. If that's the case, just ... don't tell me." With that, the commander bows and makes her exit.

OOC: IC thread is here.

Pirvinia thanked the Commander and found out where to meet after completing the quest to collect payment and report results. Then she left the Dunn Wright Inn with the others.

"Aye," replied Samad, "There is little reason for me not to join, I should think."

It would certainly be strange, but he couldn't imagine that there'd be all too much trouble with what seemed so mundane, but then again, he was comparing it to both a Great Wolf and a demoness he had helped slay not three weeks ago. That certainly skewed the scale. Keeping such in mind, he then hurried out the door.

Tsaaruk walks out with Privinia and Samad to prepare for another adventure. Life in the city certainly has proven to not be boring. This particular job does not seem all too dangerous to the barbarian but being out on the road with friends suits him better than sitting at the inn.

Iago nods to the captain, pays his bar bill, and makes his way out. The others are already well ahead of him in a tight knot, and Iago realizes he needs to speak to his landlady before leaving the city. He detours, resolving to catch up to the others at the stable.

In a rush to prepare, and muttering something about having forgotten how to use some of his gear, Ru exits, making a beeline for the Pearl.
