Wilie speaking to Borya | Helman speaking to Shrough:
"No, you misunderstand, cousin," Wilie replies. "The notes aren't about your sister. I received a note as well saying that eight heroes would contact me. I am to make you all feel welcome and ask you to stay in Bard's Gate, which I do with everyone I meet. This S.H. person, whoever he is, payed eight gold to the toll collection. One for each hero, as he put it. It doesn't look like any of you have a cart or wagon, so I don't understand this person's extravagance. If it's meant as a bribe to the Market Watch, this S.H. doesn't understand anything about Bard's Gate. My note says that once enough of you have gathered together on the Market Bridge, more instructions will be delivered."
"I might have found a lead for you about Sonya, but I haven't received word from my contact in the city of Parma yet. When the letter I'm expecting arrives, I will let you know."
"In my experience, all of this is very odd," Helman says. "And I spent years in the adventuring profession. When someone puts together a group this... diverse, the rewards rarely outweigh the dangers faced. I'd advise caution. Traps are set in such ways."
