"Unless you have reason to believe that the item is heritical in some way then I think it best we leave well enough alone. I possess an item of considerable power with an illustrious history of service to the light. Despite the man's obvious concern for secrecy and great interest in completing the transaction can we say for certain that there is anything wrong going on here? I suggest a better course would be to watch the man carefully on the ship."

Vadric again finds himself agreeing with blonde ranger. "All this talk of dark magic is leaving a foul taste in my mouth. As a priest and knight of the Light, it is my duty to seek out and destroy heretical magics...but in this case it seems there is only speculation to act on."

 

[Dracomeander]

"Speculation is where most investigations start, and there is sufficient cause to be suspicious but not enough to act. And so the arguement returns to the original suggestion of waiting until back on the ship with a heightened awareness of the activities of the young man.
"Shall we see if we can find Paragon's before it closes?"

Finnian turns and begins to head back toward the dock region where Paragon's is upposed to be located.

Going thru the neighborhoods, people can be seen gathering in small taverns and resturantes conversing and laughing. The streets are filled with the smells of various supper dishes being prepared then set out for familes to consume. Apporaching the dock/warehouse/merchant district the crowd become much rougher with ladies of the evening plying their trade and sailors on shore leave drinking and gambling.

Finnian walks along with the others observing the change in the crowds as evening falls.

At Paragon's, Finnian will purchase a few luxury provisions but not nearly as much as the others. He is mainly along for the company and the chance to see the town and stretch his legs.

OOC: You're just lucky you're too far away for us to toilet paper your house...

Bertrand will browse a bit and see what interesting luxury items are available. He is particularly interested in coffees and unusual local fare.

Vadric browses the shop goods with his companions, hoping that he can find enough well-preserved and tasty provisions to get him through the next month on ship.
