Just making sure that he doesn't think that the town itself is sending someone separate from the party, because that hasn't been mentioned as being the case. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />[/ooc]Dysare, predictably, just sighs slightly in amusement at Antares' request.  She first asks a few questions about the party's mission and likely location of the goblin village.  "You have already stirred up so many pots in just a short time as an adventurer.  I will look into these items if I can.  All seem important, but I suggest that the Bell and Liquid may have the most dangerous immediate consequences for Ascadar.  The first because someone is obviously behind the placement, and the second because we don't know how deep the corruption under our town runs.  If I can spare some time and resources I may get to the poison.  But, might I suggest a bit of delegation?  I don't know much of the hermit, Sal, who lives outside of our town, but I do know that he seems to understand a great deal of the plants, herbs and so on.  Perhaps if this poison is from a plant, he might have some better idea than myself?  I believe his hut is just off the first major stream to the north of our town.  If you travel west for half an hour or so you would reach it.  I've interacted with him once, and he doesn't seem all that... ummm.. nice, but perhaps he might see the value in helping since he may need this town's help at some time in the near future if raids from the humanoids from the hills become more common.  It's just a suggestion, but if you really want a quick turn around on the question of where the poison is from, I can't promise to be as quick as you may want."Lavinia's sigh is somewhat more exasperated, though good naturedly so, than Dysare's as she tries to sort through Antares' barrage of comments and questions while keeping an eye on her children.  The smile she gives as he mentions alternate lodgings is extremely genuine however, and then says, "Of course.  You may leave whatever you like.  She pauses at the final question, and then nods, "Yes.  He did send you a note.  Umm.. Here."  She finds a table where the note has been placed, though apparently it found its way to the floor once or twice by some smudging of dirt, and... food?  She hands it to Antares.[sblock=Text of Reply]To my son,It would be my pleasure to have you receive more of my wisdom than you have previously done.  My door will always be open for you to discuss such matters.  Simply let me know the day before you wish to come, and I will make sure my time is freed.Your father.[/sblock]Glasia and Mikon nod, and Mikon says, "Good luck.  Another piece of advice.  Don't overly trust a goblin."</blockquote>
