While he might go out of friendship, the others would need convincing, and some would need gold in their purse to sway their decision."I know those that you seek will be in Secomber, but where in town I do not know. I think it will be easy enough to find those that ride under the Watchful One's banner, and where you find the knight, you will also find his companion. The one called Shadowleaf should not be too hard to find either, as his services have been requested many times by those in town when a trip into the Moor is needed. Why he chooses to keep his counsel in that dark place I do not know, but there are few who know it as well as he does. As you have been guided into town, so too I believe the Magus will be brought also, Savras would not have spoken of him to me if you could not find him. Who knows, perhaps he will come to you, as there are those who have came here looking for you in the past."Standing up, Rodel ran her fingers once more through her hair as she thought of what she could offer Sebak and the others as a means of payment. While Uncle Kai had returned with enough coin for them to live comfortably, Rodel did not keep much coinage in the cottage. While Savras had given her a great gift through her magic, she was only one woman and while the small city itself protected their own, strangers did often live by those same rules."I can not offer hard coins Sebak, but I will call upon my teacher in Waterdeep for assistance in this matter. He is a guilde mage there, and has known Uncle Kai from their first days on the road together. I have avoided calling upon him thus far, but perhaps it is time that I did. Promise the others the price you see fit, and I will see to it that you get the coin, even if it means selling the house and returning to Waterdeep. All I wish is to learn my father's fate Sebak, nothing else matters to me. If he is no more, you are the only family I have left…"Stopping as her throat began to tighten with emotion, Rodel wiped absently at a rogue tear that had managed to escape her control."However, I can tell you that the last divination I cast upon Uncle Kai showed him to be near the ruins that the Broken Tusk orcs had claimed as their own. There is a standing ten silver per orc ear returned to town, as well as ten gold per standard returned. Whatever you find amongst the orcs you all may keep, and I can give you three scrolls which can identify any encantment placed upon an item. I had saved these for a rainy day, as the pearls used to make the scribing ink are rare to come by this far inland, but perhaps they can be used to persuade the weave shaper to come with you. I can also give you my wand of levitation to use, as there is little sense in holding anything from you. I have used it to move things when you and Uncle Kai were not here, so its charges are limited, but if it can be of use to you, please take it."Rodel had started pacing absently as she talked, her mind racing in several different directions and as she realized this, she stopped and turned to face the sound of Sebak's light breathing."Uncle Kai also carried several minor enchanted items with him on his travels, and while I know you are no grave robber, you are a practical man. If he is truly no longer with us, use them as you see fit, but I do ask for the ring and necklace that he wore once you return. Call it the wish of a foolish daughter, but I would like to have something to remember him by besides my memories. Do you think those terms could be acceptable to you and the others?"</blockquote>
