[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 2580076, member: 30035"] [b]Dragon Days[/b] After the events and revelations of the past few weeks, it's a relief to have a mission. Though I must confess it's rather an unusual mission. We are not warriors in the traditional sense, as I've said before, but we are members of the city's militia. Thus is seems odd to me that we've been sent on what is essentially a trade mission. We sailed to Milvarune to attend the Dragon Days festival there, and to seek out a Waterdavian merchant by the name of Steward Whitetree. This merchant is responsible for transporting trade goods all over the Realms, and the merchants' council of Dragonsreach wish to persuade him to bring his influence and transport network to our fair city. Upon reflection, I suppose this mission is ideally suited to Roland's knowledge and talent. He gathered a good deal of information about Master Whitetree from his contacts in the Raeburn household. Latan and I meanwhile did a bit of research in the Archives regarding the people of Waterdeep and what sort of goods might entice them to trade with us. At Roland's behest, we also purchased fine garments to provide us with a more noble appearance. I think Hedrin was not particularly pleased with having to "dress up", especially with wearing shoes. He complains that they press on his long nails. He was much happier when he was able to make a fishing trip with his father on the day before our departure. Our journey to Milvarune was uneventful. I found I didn't adapt to shipboard life as quickly as I expected, but I suffered no ill effects. Gylf got along all right, though he spent most of the journey sleeping on my bunk. I'm afraid I smelled rather strongly of dog by the time we reached port. Latan kept trying to have little Isaura blow on the sails, though such a small air elemental could hardly make a handkerchief flutter. Once we arrived we proceeded immediately to the Lady's temple and met with a priest who had arranged for our lodgings. We are to stay in a very fine house owned by the temple. Ordinarily it would be let to visitors during the festival. We are very fortunate to have such sumptuous lodgings. We should be able to wine and dine Master Whitetree in style. The house is strategically located on the terraces overlooking the mountain pass. One can see the lower city quite clearly from the balconies, and there are lovely gardens to keep Latan comfortable. We have even been provided with a host of cooks, over whom Percy has taken immediate and surprisingly assertive command. After being escorted to Silver Cottage by a young acolyte named Troy, Hedrin and I set off to see the captain of the city guard. We paid him a courtesy call to let him know of our presence, and advise him that we were not in Milvarune on militia business. He seemed pleasant enough in welcoming us, although he may have indicated some hard feelings toward Captain K'Von when he learned who Hedrin was.
