The elf unconsciously rubs the back of her neck which is getting stiff from trying to follow the verbal back and forth delivery of the brothers. "I do understand that you can't be certain of the route within in the Underdark, but we have more than a passing familiarity with the landmarks down there. Whatever information you could give us would help us reduce the time we spend searching about down there. As you might image we would appreciate any information that would speed our quest even if you don't have the full directions."

By the squint of his eyes and the hand rubbing his head between his eyes it is very apperent that capizzio is getting a very serious headach from the twins antics.
Capizzio stops rubbing his head and gives Xavier a dubious look of disbelief, " riiiiight. only the most fool heardy."
he then returns to his previoulsy unscheduled headache.

"There are numerous entrances into the Underdark scattered about Quail Valley. And once you enter the Underdark, you'll find that Quail Valley is absolutely rife with tunnels leading to and fro!"
"Now, to find the White Fist Orcs, what you want to do is to go south of the Quail River into the Gaskar Hills. In fact, just about 15-20 miles to the east of where we are now should put you very nearly directly north of their home. So, then, from this position, if you travel about 12-15 more miles to the east and then turn due south, you should be on a heading that will take you right to them in about, oh, say, 35 or 40 miles south of the Quail River. But, mind you, that's right smack in the heart of the Gaskar Hills, which is not exactly what you'd call an inviting place for travelers."

"What kind if creatures might we run into while traveling in that area?"

Borden busies himself with eating a sandwich, and so removes himself from the conversation. (whew!) Garsen answers Kerlan, "There are a number of creatures that roam the Gaskar Hills, the White Fist Orcs, numerous ogres, hobgoblins from the keep, I have even seen sign left by some kind of draconic beast, probably either a wyrmling or a wyvern. There are also a few giants that roam the hills, manticores, and the usual assortment of wolves and bears. Every now and again, something truly fearsome is seen, like a gorgon or a pack of wights."

"Well, that's quite an assortment of nasties out there. We better be prepared. It's approaching night so if you don't mind, we could make camp around here and leave in the morning."
"Also, as I mentioned before, do you happen to know anyone interested in buying an Owlbear egg?"

Borden continues chewing while Garsen answers Kerlan (and Capizzio):
"Yes, you are perfectly welcome to share our hospitality tonight. Borden sears a pretty mean roe steak, too, and we had a particularly successful hunt recently. As to the Owlbear eggs, we might be convinced to act as your agent/salesmen in Pembrose while you are gone. We will hold out for the best price that they can fetch, while being sure to be well rid of them before the hatch date. We will, then take our 35% commission from the price and hold the rest for you here until your return. Is that acceptable?"

Capizzio looks to Kerlin and says, "I don't know, what do you think, 20%?"
