"Lenuran, if you and Ithiken would handle dealing with the wizard we rescued I will head with the Kidd to talk to the sherrif and see if he has any news for us."

The Kid nods, itching to talk to the sheriff. Perhaps he had some clues of where the bastards that betrayed them were.

Lenuran & Ithiken
Lenuran and Ithiken made their way to Spugnoir's store and make it just in time.
Haunor, the dwarf guard helps Spugnoir to close down the place, seeing you the wizard waves and smiles. He invites you inside, saying he can delay the closure for ten minutes but you must meet him and take a drink with him later at the wench or at Terrigan's.
Telling him the terrible news about Korbryn, the terror stricken wizard offers immediate help. He asks you to wait in the wench as he takes a ride to consult with the only wizard who can help, Burne.
Sad Haunor, who saw Korbryn as a dwarf friend offers to take you to the wench and wait for the arrival of the wizard.

**********************************************************

Thandis & Miltiades
It seems Elmo is not in his home, but finding the drunken sheriff is simple task for Thandis and Miltiades.
The red faces human is engaged in a card game in the welcome wench with Alphon, the Halfling weapon's smith and another human.
When he sees you he waves you to approach the table, saying that the all town is already know and you must know either, he tells you they caught Telna, the cook and the now revealed spy of Iuz.
The woman sang a lot he heard, every body sings in Rufus's dungeon up in the keep.

**********************************************************

To quicken things up I assumed you spoke to Spugnoir and Elmo.
you can now asks whatever you want.
 

After the sad conversation with the wizard, Lenuran finds himself in need of a drink. Arriving at the Wench with Haunor, the gnome immediately orders a large mug of the place's most potent ale. It would help pass the time until Spugnoir could join them.
 

Miltiades is pleased at the news of the agent's capture. Seeing that the information is at the keep says. "Thank you good sheriff! Would you mind if I used you as a reference when we visit the Keep then? Being that the murdered was an associate of mine I'm quite keen on learning more details."

Once he sees his companions entering the Wench he will thank the Sherrif and join the others relating what he found and hearing what they have learned as well.
 

"I'm telling you, Haunor... it was so weird. Korbryn standing there swinging his axe at the turkey-thing... getting bitten... then watching his body try to shake off what was happening. He started shaking... then stiffening up... then watching his skin and clothes start turning grey." Ithiken shudders at the thought. "It is not something anyone should ever have to go through. But I guess in our business, it's what you have to deal with."

He looks to the door of the Wench and sighs. "I just hope Spugnoir is able to find something that can help us."
 

The Welcome Wench

You are Heroes I say, Heroes! … and Korbryn especially
Replies the stout dwarf to Ithiken

****************************

Sitting around a table and enjoying fine cheap wine (5cp) and Redithidoor Halfmoon's quite melodie you wait for the arrival of the potion seller.
Half an hour later the wizard burst in with a smile, the dwarf raises a toast for that and departure to the bar, the wizard takes the dwarf's seat and speaks
The gods love you my friends.
He pulls out a scroll and place it on the table
The scroll holds a spell that would bring Korbryn to the "meat" world once again but … Lord Burne deserves payment for his powerful magical item and I obligated In your name that you'll pay him back.
He takes what little left of Haunor drink and drains it out.
Not before I told him that you saved me, drove out a blue wyrm from the nearby bogs and cleared out the gnolls from the moathouse, you see, he is an old friend of mine.
The payment should be as following … once you save Korbryn, Burne and Rufus wants you to find out if the rumors of Hobgoblins which infest the old crumpled Temple are true, if do clear them out and return to report to Elmo.

He turns around in his chair to Elmo and calls
Hey Chub face, Rufus will see you in an hour, in the back room for a card game.
It's about time, Alphon here is plays like an amateur.
He laugh loudly and nudge the Halfling in the ribs.
Turning back to you, Spugnoir hands the scroll to Ithiken.
I know you master the arcane and you should have it, but this spell is powerful and should be handle accordingly, it could e above your powers but you must take a grip and try to cast it, Lord Burne is well behind his adventure days and will not come with you, neither am I as I'm a potion seller and herbalists. now ...
He stands up.
I must excuse and return to my daughter
He bows slightly.
We shall meet again friends.
Leaving the table you spot the ugly Halfling again, making his way to your table.
Himmble is the name, you remember …
He says
Have you heard something about my parents?
 

Lenuran smiles at Spugnoir. "Certainly we appreciate this aid in freeing our friend. I cannot speak for everyone, but I am certain that a mission to investigate the hobgoblins is well within our, ah, expertise. And a small price to pay for this scroll, I'm sure."

At Himmbles question, though, Lenuran looks a bit sad. "I'm afraid not, my friend. But, we will continue to keep our eyes and ears open as we go about our business."



At least, I don't remember hearing anything about his parents?
 

Ithiken looks at the rolled up scroll and heeds the warnings from the dwarf that it might be difficult (if not dangerous) to cast the spell.

"Well... the only way to get better at anything is to take chances and leap into the unknown on occasion. Let's just hope my master Bigby taught me well, eh? For Korbryn's and all our sakes!" He finishes off the glass of elven wine he'd been nursing.

"And I agree with Lenuran... dealing with some hobgoblins is pretty much in our job description. Small price to pay, if you ask me."
