After your previous day's activities and a good night's sleep you are finally all gathered in front of the Rusty Dragon with Ameiko Kaijitsu. "Good luck to you all and watch each other's backs. Do not forget about the bounty on goblin ears of ten gold each. Also remember the additional bounty of three hundred gold for Chief Gutwad's head. I am sorry to report that Analisse has decided to not accompany you. But the six or actually eight of you should do well. I still believe that your best course of action is too seek out Walthus Proudstump. There is a much better chance that he will be at home today as opposed to yesterday." She smiles and nods toward Jariah and Wireth as she adds this last part. "Are there any additional questions before you start? Jariah and Wireth know the way to Walthus' house as does Jakira and Nairo."
"Are there bounties for anything else out there?" Sachiko wants to know. "Pugdogs or giant lurking swamp beasts or anything?"
She seemed in bright spirits this morning, but also rather focused. Perhaps she was looking forward to having a real actual quest?
Her stew the previous night had been surprisingly okay. From a more accomplished chef, it would have been disappointing. She had been haphazard about what veggies she'd added, and not everything worked well with one another. And it was more like a soup than a stew, with no meat to thicken it. That said, it wasn't bad, exactly. It was just a bit confused, tastewise.
Salt was just about right though.

Fastus showed up bright and early at the meeting place, backpack peaking over his shoulder, borrowed shield and mace slung at the ready and his body feeling the hugging weight of a nice set of V-necked chain armor (it wasn't quite finished yet...). And THIS TIME, he'd bound his wild mane at the back with leather and a wooden skewer.
When he turned to greet his friends, they saw that he ALSO sported a nice rainbow shiner on his left cheek.
"Da didn't like me cutting work yesterday," he explained with a wide smile, the excitement of the day obviously overshadowing everything else right now. "I spent the night here at the inn." (In the usual hayloft apparently, if the loose stalks clinging to him here and there were any indication.)
"So he wasn't there?" he sighed upon learning of the Warden's absence. Burn it! He'd been hoping to skip straight to the exciting parts today... Kind of extra glad he didn't go yesterday though!

Elsbeth
Elsbeth arrived at the Inn to find a couple of the others already there. She was a little sore from the bruising she had received during their practice yesterday but was otherwise unharmed. She had slept one last night at her employer's and said goodbye to the children. Today was the start of a new chapter in her life. She was both excited and a little scared by the thought of it. At least she would be starting this journey with her friends Fastus and Sachiko.
"Good morning everyone." she greeted the group.
She glanced at Fastus and noticed the shiner. She frowned and tried to think of how she could have inflicted that yesterday. After a moment, she couldn't recall hitting him in the eye.
Elsbeth took a couple of steps until she was next to her friend.
"Are you alright? I hope that wasn't my fault." she whispered.

Jakira had to enlist some aid in keeping the mice overnight. Between Koya and Ameiko, she had found a way to keep them and feed them so they did not die or escape. But that morning, they were simply being carried squirming and squeaking in a sack.
She had to wonder how Ameiko could be sure the warden would be there that day when he had not been the previous, but trusted that Ameiko could be right and like knew Walthus Proudstump's behavior to make that assessment. She nodded slightly at Ameiko's comments about the issue.
Jakira answered Fastus, "Naw, he was off wanderrrin' in the swamp an' not home."
Jariah asked Ameiko, "Was there any news from the Sheriff overnight? He was out patrolling and I am curious if he learned anything new."

"Uh..." Fastus tried to figure that one out for a beat or two - didn't he just say...? - then gave it up and just answered the question asked, still smiling: "Course not, Elli. You weren't even there!" His head-shake DID set three cylinders of pale wood to clattering against the brass holy symbol on his chest though, reminding him: "Oh, right!"
Fastus quickly slipped one over his head and presented it to Elsbeth, dangling at the end of a leather cord: *it* was an elderwood whistle with a huge snowflake crudely burnt into the side of it... And then one more for Sachiko, with a little cat-face on it this time.
"So you guys can call ME for help," he explained, proudly slapping his own chest. He then taped next to his own, unadorned one: "So I can call YOU if you get lost... Burningly brilliant, right?"

I'm thinking they each have a slightly different notes, deeper for Fastus, shrillier for Sachiko?[/sblock][sblock=Final shopping list]Carried by Fastus:

2 extra sunrods (4 gp, 2#, )
Carried by Suldrel (?):
Hammock (1 sp, 3#, )
0 gp, 5 sp, 9 cp left.[/sblock][/sblock]
The young blacksmith blinked, not used to being directly addressed by REALLY big cats with too intelligent eyes... But he recovered quickly enough: "Maybe we'll get to rescue him from some fiendish goblin trap, right?"
"They were really hot to go," he excitedly explained to Suldrel and Sachiko when symbol-girl didn't immediately answer the elf's comment. "Hunted gift-mice at the mill and everything." He pointed to the squirming sack with an amused smile, rather proud he'd helped there, at least.
Then he suddenly got confused, finally noticing Suldrel's expression... "Was that bad?"

First Ameiko replies to Sachiko with, "No other bounties." Then to Jariah's question, "The sheriff reported that he found some goblin tracks. I would be cautious as you move through the swamp. But with the size of your group and your combined capabilites I believe you will do fine."

Jariah had not expected much from the Sheriff since the man was patrolling as a deterrent and not actually hunting the goblins. But it was reassuring to her that the Sheriff was not ambushed either.
There did not appear to be anything else left to discuss nor could think of any other questions to ask. "Thank you, Ameiko."
Looking at her eidolon, Jariah motioned for him to start moving towards town's gate leading to the swamp.
