After the meal, Sofia finds herself glad to have finished the journey, happy to have eaten, and eager to begin. Annan asks if they would all like to retire until morning, she responds with a smile: "The journey was long, it is true, but I think that good conversation in front of a good fire is still well within our abilities. Shall we discover how we can be of help to each other?"

 

[Someone]

Chronius looks interedted at the bird affair. Hmmm thinks. "What´s up with the dove?"

Annan looks confused. Eh... if you are too tired, perhaps you would like to retire for the night? We can pick this up tomorrow. He looks to Sofia, awaiting her decision.

"Not needed, it´s out legs what are tired, not our ears or tongues. Don´t be confused about our ignorance of Ambrosious´ activities: for what we know, he has his privacy in high steem, and our mission has little to do with him directly; however, if he lived so long in this city he should know it well and help us greatly."

"Also, we thought he was here. If he has been missing two years, that´s of concern to us."

Chronius looks interedted at the bird affair. Hmmm thinks. "What´s up with the dove?"

Ibrahim answers. "It is Daniel's pet. Always followed him around when he was in town. He was rather fond of it, and made us promise not to hurt her, so..."

 

[Yair]

Annan is obviously pleased with Sofia's compliments, and likewise says little during the meal.

Hearing the party's decision to commense talks immediately, Annan orders the women that serve them to clear the table, bids his sons farewell, and invites the magi to join him near the hearth for a more private conversation.

I am afraid that for the last two years Daniel no longer visited us. We had an agreement concerning the sell of certain rare flowers that bloom in a certain location and only at a certain time. These were very expensive blooms, and he paid dearly for them. I trust you have come to restablish this trade?"

 

[Someone]

Well, this promises to end soon thinks Chronius. The flowers must be Vis, and finding his familiar is at least a partial success He looks around to the other mages "For what I´m hearing, yes, we´d be interested too in those flowers

 

[Yair]

OOC: The dove has already flown out the window by the time the conversation is held. Let me stress: the conversation is by the fire after the meal, the dove-affair was during the meal. You can of course "flashback" to the meal if you want to.

"Good!" says Annan. There is then only the matter of price. Daniel used to pay one ounce of silver per dram, but the value of silver has really gone down since the discovery of the Krotel mines...
Annan lures you in to a winded discussion of prices and worth of his precious blooms. By the time it's over you've grown even more tired, and it's almost dusk. You do seem to have settled on a price [if you want to].
Annan seems pleased, and aks you whether you want to purchase his whole lot or only some of it, and if you would like to rent the facilities in the marsh as Daniel used to.

 

[Someone]

Chronius don´t haggle too much to lower the price; Bah, if that´s Vis, it´s worth more than money. Greedy jew... Chronius end his cynical musings just in time to react: "We´d like to see those facilities first" ends. "Now we´d like to retire to rest"

 

[Yair]

"We´d like to see those facilities first" ends. "Now we´d like to retire to rest"

"Certainly", says Annan. "Unfortunately, lack of space prevents me from giving you hospitality under my own roof. I hvae, however, taken the liberty of securing lodgings in the Silver Tusk inn, at great expense." He stands up, and orders his servants around. "I bid you farewell, then, and good night. I advise you to hurry, or you will be forced to pay a heavy toll to enter the Old Town. I will show you the facilities in the morning, and arrange for the trasnfer of blooms."
By the time you leave the compound, it is well after dark. Just as you turn it's corner to head for the nearest gate two furtive figures run by at full speed, and one of them collides with Victor, knocking him into a small maloderous puddle. Without even stopping, they dash down a side street into a dark alley.

 

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

During the meal, Victor tried to interact with the dove a little bit.
Trying to "Listen" to her desires.
beside it, In the hall, in front of the fire place Victor sits quietly and listens."
do you know where Daniel is? he said something about where he is going?
Victor looks to Sofia and Chronius, Ï agree, we'll see the facilities tomorrow, now we shall rest.

"You´d better look if you´ve missed something" says Chronius.
