*Arkas bows deeply towards Quelsa, then nods towards the others in greeting*
"I am Arkas, magister and seeker of knowledge. It is a pleasure meeting you. The angry wind you are talking about - could that be something that triggers strange magic phenomena? I arrived at Naima's place just in time to save her from a moving statue, which would have crushed her otherwise. After that the statue became inert immediately and i couldn't detect any magic effect on it whatsoever. When will we depart to seek out this source you are talking about? Because i will have to change the sortiment of spells i chose lately before we leave..."

"Hello Arkas, my name is Urgo'Nanogroth, but my friends call me Urgo. This is my brother Matzerath, and we have just met Eyric.

I think it would be wize to leave town after a night's rest, it would allow us to get supplies for the trip."

*Quelsa furrows her brow at the news of the moving statue, looking very concerned.*

"Tell me, was there any wind about when the statue was moving?"

*At Urgo's mention of waiting a day, Quelsa nods.*

"There is yet one more... and by tomorrow I should be able to find him. Please, return to me on the morrow and I should have found your missing companion.*
 

Eryic eyes the faen for a moment, then nods a curt greeting. Brushing a strand of disheveled hair from his face, he listens to the faen's account, hooking his thumbs in the loose cord serving as a belt for his robes.

He nods. "If we must leave on the morrow, than that is what we'll do. I thought perhaps I could settle for a few months, but with these dreams..." he trails off, serious concern in his voice.

"It appears I'll have to put my job at the smithy on hold for a bit..." he says, Though perhaps I could put in a godo day's work tomorrow. I wonder if the Master would appreciate me leaving so suddenly, he thinks to himself.

"What time will we make the journey tomorrow?"

Matzerath nods politely at the faen, long having had a soft spot for the small creatures. He turns to Urgo, "Yes, brother. We should begin preparing immediately. I am sure we will need gear to make our way through the Elder Mountains."
 

"Yes, Priestess, there was wind, while the statue moved, but both stopped after i freed Naima." Arkas answers the womans inquiry.

"Travelling sounds interesting, especially with such a composition of people - i am looking forward to traveling with you. Where will we meet tomorrow? Or will we meet this evening to get to know each other better?" Arkas asks, while looking at his soon-to-be-companions. "I hope my dog will be fast enough for the travel." And i will have to buy enough food for him and me and... Arkas thoughts wander off, like always when he is excited.
 

*Quelsa looks concerned at Arakas' news.*

"Then it seems the wind grows stronger. I will tend to Naima, gather what you need and please come here at dawn tomorrow. I will find your final companion," she says, looking preoccupied.

Addressing Quelsa, "Perhaps you could direct us to a trader that might sell the mountain climbing provisions we need." He pauses... "Brother Urgo has adopted the habit of taking his home with him in a mule-pulled cart. Do you believe such a vehicle could survive the mountain voyage, Lady Witch"?
 

"I believe Tarnak's General Goods in the central market will be able to help you outfit, should you need anything. I also think I mule cart should survive most of the journey, though I would not promise anything on the highest paths," Quelsa says, deep in thought. With that she will dismiss you, with a recommendation to come back at dawn.

*You have the rest of the day in which to purchase supplies or anything else you need. Naima will stay behind with Quelsa, as it's obvious she's in need of some counseling. Tarnak can sell you provisions, rope, cold-weather gear, climbing supplies, compasses, and alchemical supplies for a reasonable price.*

*In the dawn, when you return, you find a sleepy-eyed litorian man, dressed in the highest of fashions, every hair impeccably in place. He must not have gotten much sleep last night.*

"This is Agracahn. He also had a bad experience with the wind. It disturbed one of the dancers he was watching, and he brought her here. He is the last of you, and now the group is complete. The blessing of my own winds are with you, and I pledge that you will be able to stop the angry spirits. I will aid you here as I can," Quelsa says with a small bow.

*The litorian looks over all of you, appraising your garb and dress, nodding in approval only to Matzerath, and giving everyone else a simple, slightly superior smile.*

"Here, I have a map of what roads I know to the mountains. Please, I believe you must go in haste, for the winds of anger will not wait," Quelsa says.

Matzerath purchases the following items at Tarnak's:
10 Pitons (1 gp)
10 rations (5 gp)
grappling hook (1 gp)
tent (10 gp)
bedroll (1 sp)
compass (? gp)
cold weather outfit (Matzerath will buy the most expensive one not exceeding 50 gp)

Getting back to Quelsa's, Matzerath is secretly eager to meet the final member of their journey. If I see a giant, that witch can count me out.
He's pleased, then, to see Agracahn. Matzerath appreciates the freedom-loving Litorian. He gives an uncharacteristically friendly nod to his fashionable new companion.
Upon being offered the map, Matzerath quickly snatches it up and studies it for a moment. "Yesss, we should move out immediately."

[OOC: In other words, I'm ready to head out on the road without any further discussion in the town if everyone else is.]
 

Urgo spends the last day preparing his wagon for the treck, and trying to gain any new information about the storm.

[OCC: He's ready to go too]
