Ashin Hanasisar, male human merchant.
Ashin nods slightly, evidently satisfied with the outcome of the little exchange.
"So. I believe that there are some questions to address. The task is three fold. Find out what has happened in Duvik, find out what has happened to my people, and find out what has happened to the last delivery of silver."
Ashin slaps his forehead theatrically, then begins rummaging through in his pockets.
"Ah! The map, I forgot to show you the map. Here it is!" [imager]http://www.enworld.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=23808&stc=1[/imager]
Ashin pulls out a roll of parchment and lays it out on the table. Its a copy of a fairly well known map that you may have seen elsewhere. Marked on the map in another hand are Kinthriver and Duvik.
"Right. Here is Orussus. Fallon is here, about 200 miles from Orussus. And Duvik is down here, south east of Fallon, in Stonepike mountains."
Ashin points out the places as he talks.
"The two most straight forward routes would by boat up the river to Kinthriver, then overland to Duvik. Or by road to Fallon, then either overland or by boat to Kinthriver then overland to Duvik. There is a rough trail from Kinthriver to Divik, but no direct trail between Fallon and Duvik.
"From Kinthriver to Duvik is less than 100 miles, but the last third of the journey is through the foothills and lower mountains. I can organise a boat to Kinthriver or a coach to Fallon if you choose to go either of those ways.
"I would not recommend that you go by Fallon for there are too many ears there. But if you choose that way, I would suggest that you get in and out as quickly and quietly as possible."
Ashin falls silent for a moment as he mentally reviews his notes to make sure that he has covered everything.
