He requests that he will need no disturbance as he will be performing a kobold rite of passage in his room, this will involve meditation and fasting so he will not be requiring any food.  After the 9 days he emerges, much weakened by the fasting but with a huge smile on his face "This is an important milestone in my life" he beams.Nosnibor spends his time in town making scrolls scrolls and cooking.The party spends 11 days in town.  They all gather at the stables.  Beltain has a new mount, purchased for him by Limara.  He names the horse Salix. "This is a magnificent warhorse Princess, I thank you for your gift" "You chose a good horse, .. the pleasure of the gift is all mine. All you need now is some nice leather barding for it. Shaded in your deities colours would be nice." She replies.  She looks across to Feng who is grooming a large white horse.  It seems the barbarian has also invested in barding for the mount."Feng has chosen well too. Shinegami looks solid enough for him.." she comments.The party meet up with the dwarven rogue Bibabobalobalos again.  He is also in the stables.  Limara and Beltain talk to the dwarf about joining the party.  He agrees. "I have never adventured this far south and east before. There appears to be much trouble here, much more than in Silverymoon." He says."Yes, Cormyr is full of adventure at the moment Biba…Bibalo" Limara has trouble pronouncing the dwarfs name.."You stumble over my name?” asks Bibabobalobalos.  “I find this a lot with humans. Bibabobalobalos is a proud and traditional dwarven name but I have been called 'Bob' by many humans and have got used to it. If that will help?"Limara grins at bob.."yes, that will help us humans greatly..""I am glad to help, when I can." The dwarf replies "Bob it is then," He smiles broadly."What are your major skills Bob.... do you fight with ranged or melee weapons?" asks Limara."I have a short bow but not many arrows. I prefer to get close with my rapier and flank the enemy. I am good at finding enemies weak point. The rapier is not a traditional dwarven weapon but my clansfolk got used to me using it. The deepwarden's often made fun of me because of my use of it." Replies bob.Limara nods "Sparhawk and Feng will both appreciate your flanking skills, they are our melee frontline.""Have I met them?"Limara points at Feng and then Sparhawk.."Pardon my manners... This is Feng the barbarian and Sparhawk the knight...boys this is Bob.."Feng grunts."Greetings Bob" says Rizzit.Limara turns to Rizzit.."and this is Rizzit, our sorcerer"Bibabobalobalos stares in horror at Feng, "By Moradin, he is in your party?…"My lord protect me!"  The dwarf looks at Rizzit "Rizzit are you a kobold?""I certainly am Sir, and proud of it" Rizzit stands tall.Bibabobalobalos strokes his beard in an agitated manner. "This is going to take some getting used to. I fear I have led a very sheltered life in Silverymoon.""Yes ... it certainly is a cosmopolitan group we have... " laughs Limara.The Wizard Nosnibor stops grooming Robinson (a new horse he purchased) "Greetings Bob. I myself am also a new comer to this group. From what i have witnessed they strive to fulfill good and true deeds. I have heard witness reports from the fair Diedre and Goodman Walter that they saved their lives when they were captured by the evil Zhents. If fact i was just telling my Aunty Beryl about it earlier."Limara looks at Nosnibor “You were telling your aunt? how ? do you you use your magic?"Rizzit saddles up Beaker his Axebeak. "Hey Mr Nosnibor have you ever seen a beast such as this fine fellow before? we dont have these in the underdark. Usually us Kobolds ride around on giant weasels, one day I hope to get one myself.  So far all the giant weasels I have met have been trying to kill me"LEAVING ARABEL IN SEARCH OF OLD TOMBeltain addresses the assembled group "Friends, shall we attempt to see what lies ahead for us on the road by checking what travelers tales there are.  Who knows there may be adventures to be had or wrongs to be righted as we travel on our way"Coleridge interjects "I don't know if its a matter that we might like to look into after we get moving again.. but i've heard tell that a man people refer to as Old Tom appears to have gone missing from his small farmstead just south of this city"The Wizard Nosnibor looks excited "Wrongs to be righted? Adventures to be had? Ohhh! I've gone weak at the knees. Can we go looking for Old Tom? Can we? Can we? Can we? Eh? Eh?"  He continues "Oh i just bet he's been captured by some beastie, who's probably misunderstood. If we save him we'll be heroes. Wouldn't that be simply smashing?"Rizzit nods "I would like to go look for old Tom as well, we cannot walk away from a mystery"“It soundeth to me this might be a good time to search for 'Old tom'” agrees Sparhawk."I feel that we can't leave the Old Tom mystery unresolved" muses Beltain "What say you Princess, it will give you the opportunity to try out your new gear?"The party packs their items for travel. "Mr Nosnibor how much do I owe you for the scrolls you made me?" asks Rizzit."Why Rizzit you don't owe me anything. If i have the ability to make them i couldn't possibly charge you for them. Especially as they'll be used for the good of the party. And i couldn't possibly take any of your hard earned money of you because you're such a smashing chap.""Why thank you so much Mr Nosnibor, its a refreshing change to have such a pleasant person in the party, hopefully your influence will help smooth some of the rough edges some members have" he says looking at nobody in particular. "Well actually Rizzit. I had a smashing idea in that area. To help us all be pleasant and live together better. I was thinking we could have a swear box. Then when we collect money from the bad language we could give it to good causes. Or use it towards our adventurer’s license of something. Coarse language is so terribly upsetting don't you think?"Sparhawk rolls his eyes and sighs"I think that is a bloody good idea!" says Beltain, realizing what he's said and hands over a gold piece to Nos."I agree”, nods Rizzit  “I would like to see more love in the party and putting an end to the potty mouths would be a good start"The party set out of Arabel.  Walter and Dierdre ride in the wagon.  Coleridge leads, he has been told where Old Tom's farmstead is located.  A days travel south of Arabel, near the river that goes to the Arabel Springs.</blockquote>
