While looking over the scroll I received from Phinea I mention to the group, "I suggest that we start at the local tavern as I need a drink, badly. Otherwise starting at Shabu's palce is a very good idea once we find out the information that Polixarchus has. It might give us some hints on where to look and what they have already found out already."

"All fine ideas. Off to a tavern and then to Shabu's then?" Thane looks quite relieved now that the meeting is over.
Eyeing, Liliana, "We can discuss the contents of the scroll over drinks and lunch, if you don't mind, that is..." He looks mildly flustered. "Err... yeah. Lets just go." You get the distinct impression that he is entirely uncomfortable talking to women.

After saluting Polixarchus, Delmar has already started clasping his cloak and is looking for his walking stick aka longspear.
"A fine plan indeed," he says almost in passing, "I'm most anxious to see the contents of that scroll... and have something fried. Can't really think well on an empty stomach... Perhaps something beer battered... Yes, definitely something beer battered..."

At the mention of a meal Sher involuntarily licks his lips in anticipation before remembering that back here in town he'll probably have to have his meat at least warmed rather than they way he truely likes it. Perhaps they will have raw fish he thinks and be willing to supply that as is.
"Yes a tavern and then the mages quarters. Do we know where his quarters are and who we can expect to find there?"
As he asks that question he turns slightly to find their employer and his steward to perhaps find the answer before they exit...

CHAPTER TWO: The Sea Flower
OK, so we've moved on to a local tavern, the Sea-Flower. You have a scroll which is actually seemingly a report from several low-level sources, as scribed by Phinea along with some other information.
It gives:
1) The location of Shabu's Tower, off to the west, less than a days travel away.
2) Phinea's written description of Shabu which was circulated at the bazaar.
"Here is a human man, florid, some 5 feet tall, who looks as if he eats well and drink in abundance. His hair is dark and his beard is short. His nose is in form somewhat large, and there is a carbuncle noted on the side. Shabu has a habit of twitching his nose when talk comes to matters of money. His familiar, a golden-furred cat, is never far off.
3) Although Belok cannot recall a place where mages might hang out, there is one note mentioned on the backside of the scroll. "Shabu possibly noted at the Prismatic Spray, as reported by Gulbus Prawn, a stableboy. Possibly erroneous. Suggest we not further line this goblin's pockets at the expense of the guild"
So drinks and .. possibly delightful beer-battered fried snacks are delivered to the table. You are in a mostly private area at the back of the room in a sort of secluded booth shielded from casual view by low hanging plants and a wooden partition.

Turning to his new employers, "How should we contact you if we have questions or want to report progress?" And to his companions, "Yes I always think better over a drink and a bit of food, we should definately start at the tavern."

You may contact Phinea (or directly Polixarchus I suppose) by simply deciding you want to return to the Weaver's Hall. Or you could send a courier or .. any other method you can come up with, really.

Belok scans the patrons and employees of the Sea-Flower. I wonder if any of these people would know anything about missing wizards?
To the assembled company, "I think we should set off for Shabu's place first thing in the morning. Hopefully, the previous investigators haven't trashed all the clues." Belok takes a sip of ale and another beer battered bite then adds, "Perhaps we should use an innocent sounding cover story when inquiring about Shabu, we could say we've had a bit of success and we'd like to have some cloaks enchanted. That shouldn't raise suspicions among those we ask or Shabu if word gets back to him. Unless someone has a better suggestion...?"

Savoring the ale and the food, now this is so much better, "Belok that is a great idea and if I know any wizards at all the possibility of making money is a good enticer to come out of the woodworks. Especially as it seems this particular mage has a particular liking for money. I do suggest that we find out what this "Prismatic Spray" is. Sounds like it could be a tavern or another Inn but I am not even sure it is withing Windfall's town limits. If we can locate this place and it seems respectable I say we spend the night there. This way we can do some investigating in the evening and then set off for Shabu's place first thing."
Asking the next Waitress that passes by, "Have you heard of a placed called the "Prismatic Spray" and if so could you tell us the location? I am sure it is not as fine a place as this establishment but we are looking for a friend who mentioned the place." I will be giving her a gp for any information she gives me.
