Destiny flinches at the mention of the word minotaur - remembering the effect it had on the Boes before - but she recovers quickly. She nods as the rest of the party plans to split up.
OOC:
[Sblock]Since it seems like everyone is in agreement here, we will cut-scene forward. If people really want to cutscene forward, we can assume Destiny, Pwent, and Keryth were able to purchase the mundane items that everyone wanted at PHB pricing - so long as the combied total doesn't go above 20 gold - because then she would have to use the emerald. Unleashed has already priced it out in the OOC thread, so check it out and make sure that is acceptable to you and your character.
MG2001: The helmet is a special item, so it will require a day to manufacture it. You may order it, but it will not be available until tomorrow. That's alright, though, because the party doesn't have the gold to pay for it right now anyway without breaking into the emerald. Same for the armor with armor spikes, btw.
Jkason: I'm sure Keryth would be able to pick up a small crystal that would meet Byntrou's standards, so that can be done in the cutscene as well.[/Sblock]
Bahruul, Byntrou:
The two Boes walking together without any other sort of companionship does draw more than a few stares. Thankfully, everyone on the street is able to hold their tongue and not say anything particularly stupid. After a brisk walk, Bahruul and Byntrou arrive at the guardhouse. Inside the building is the row of clerks sitting behind the protected wall as Byntrou saw yesterday. There appear to be five clerks on duty - 2 women and 3 men - but none of the clerks are the one that Byntrou spoke with yesterday. The clerks each look busy with paperwork, but none of them have people taking up there time - any of the five could stop what they are doing and assist Bahruul and Byntrou.
Pwent, Keryth:
The walk to Great Bend seems longer this morning on account of the brisk cool air. This time of the day, the majority of traffic on the road is wagons heading for the marketplace in Theropa. There does not seem to be anyone headed towards Great Bend.
Arriving in Great Bend, the town is the same as yesterday. The strange man is not along the side of the road, however, much to Destiny's disappointment.
Destiny asks Keryth, "So, where's this temple you spoke of?"
Keryth:
[Sblock]Go ahead and assume Keryth can show them the way. Its a small town and Keryth would easily remember the way.[/Sblock]

Byntrou, Bahruul:
The clerk looks at the level where she assumes Byntrou's head would be, only to end up looking at his chest level. Adjusting her glance up to the level of Byntrou and then catching Bahruul off to the side, for a moment all the clerk can muster is a simple, "Oooooh, so that's what Filgar meant when he said big ..."
She composes herself and then adds, "The little one is not with you today? He said something about a Bous and a short woman. But I'll go tell Filgar that you have arrived. He was in a pleasant mood when he told me you would be by."
Barring any response and need for her to stay, she leaves her chair and heads into the back.

Keryth, Male Drakontos Cleric
“Oh it’s not too far from here Destiny,” Keryth replies as they continue toward the temple. Reaching the temple not too long thereafter, he opens the large wooden door and shepherds the others into the temple proper, closing the door behind them.

Byntrou, Bahruul:
After a short time, Filgar comes out from the back room, and miraculously he is carrying Byntrou's bow! "I certainly hope you don't mind me making it easy on you. After you left last night I sent an official detective to Great Bend to investigate your claims. On account of your report yesterday morning, the detective was able to identify the bow as stolen property. The bow was retreived, much to the guildmaster's dismay. However, in an amazing stroke of luck we were able to convince the guildmaster to have his wife tell us of the merchant who had sold the bow. With a little investigation we caught up with the despicable Black Market creature. He was a small racquet salesman, but one with a reputation for being able to always beat the prices of his competitors. I guess we know how his prices got so low now! Needless to say, the guildmaster's money was returned from the Black Market salesman's personal accounts."
He chuckles a bit and continues, "Well, I return this to you, sir. Unfortunately, I have no other leads on the remaining stolen equipment. I hope our services have satisfied you enough that if you should get further leads on your equipment and they are within the jurisdiction of our town - you will inform us so tat we may help in their recovery? I'd also like to see where this trail of Black Market merchants goes ... if we can stop the merchants, perhaps we can also stop the robberies."
Filgar begins to await a response but quickly adds. "The detective sent to Great Bend did come back with the following message to the one who made this bow. The guildmaster there wishes to express his sincere apology and admits he judged your character horribly. He said that if you would like be in his employ as a dealer for your craftmanship - then he would gladly pay you for your crafts if you allow him to sell them. I should add personally, it is a fine guild and judging by the craftsmanship of this bow - you would both benefit from each other. You would benefit by having an outlet for your craft and the guildmaster would benefit from having a master craftsman." Filgar hands Byntrou the bow.
Byntrou, Bahruul:
[Sblock]Both Byntrou and Bahruul would realize that the goblin's lair where the rest of the items are supposedly being held is well outside the town guard's jurisdiction.[/Sblock]
Keryth, Pwent:
Destiny treads lightly upon the temple floor, not wanting to make too much noise or draw attention to herself. The acolyte from the previous day rushes forward. "Ah, the good cleric from yesterday. But, where is your rather large and impressive friend? The one with the horns? Not that it matters, really. I just remember his size, that's all. I have arranged for my superiors to be with us this morning if you are ready..."
