Waking the following morning, Jansson meditates and readies himself for the day ahead. He heads down to the inn's common room for breakfast.

Manifests Sustenance

"I'm not hungry," Osius grins. "I think I'm giving up on eating.

"Have we decided to go to the yuan-ti village?"
 

The Gathering

As you gather downstairs, the innkeep takes your orders silently. He then brings out the food, grumbling something about it being far too early for this kind of food.

Outside, there is the sound of a small horse and a donkey walking by. The sounds stop, and three figures - Tori'shel, a male halfling, and a male gnome - enter the inn.

"I've returned." Tori'shel announces as she enters. She takes a seat at your table, and the two accompanying her do so as well.

"Tristam has left. The shop he set up here is now being run by two of his apprentices. These two," she indicates the two with her. "have been sent along with me by Tristam to help me along the way to the Greater Council."

She indicates the gnome. "This is Nicodemus, although he goes by Niko. He's a trained technologist, and a good one, too. His tools and devices going to be very helpful on this trip, I assure you."

She then points at the halfling. "This is Liat'ned, a paladin from the Dividing Range. He's been around the Coldlands lately, though, on some quest or other. He's a friend of one of the apprentices at the shop, and Tristam thought it would be a good idea if he went with me. For protection."

She then sits back in her chair.

"I've heard that we begin tomorrow. I don't know what you intend to do, but I'm going to go back to the shop to pick up a few devices and make sure everything is ready. I also want to go over the path we're going to take again, to make sure that we're making the most progress each day as possible. Before I do that, though, I'll answer any questions you have right now, if you have any."
 

Jansson looks up from his food as Tori'shel and the others enter the inn.

"A good morning to you all." he says, taking in the new arrivals. "It'll be good to have you traveling with us. And it's good to see another one of my people." he adds to Liat'ned. "Where to you come from?"

Returning his attention to Tori'shel, Jansson speaks again. "Aye, we're ready to head out tomorrow. I do have the one question. We found a fair number of gems while we were in the 'kreen tunnels. Do you know where we could sell them for a fair price?"
 

Osius

"Excellent plan, I was just going to suggest that. I'll go with you, Jansson, if you want, but I know so little of the town I'd be of little help. I've nothing else pressing today."
 

Tori'shel shrugs.

"I'm probably about as familiar with this town as you are. Tristam warned us about going outside, because of the... unfriendliness of the area towards technology. I'm sure that you'd be able to find someone to sell the gems to in town somewhere, though."

She thinks for a moment, then shrugs again.

"Although, you might want to consider keeping them. If you're going to go negotiate with the yuan-ti, then they might become useful. As gifts, or something."

"Now that is a darn good idea. I think we'll do just that." Jansson replies. "Well then, we depart in the morrow. Do we need any equipment?"

OOC: Gnome, what equipment is likely to be available in the city?
OOC:
 

You could probably find most simple and martial weapons around, and maybe exotic weapons if you look hard enough. Armor... light and medium, at least, and you might be able to find a suit or two of heavy.

Other equipment - pretty much anything. The equipment that would be considered technological in nature could be found at Tristam's shop. Garanasseur is a somewhat small town, but it needs to support a lot of area around it and thus carries a variety of things.

You might be able to find some minor psionic items around. A few minor tech items might be available the shop, as well as a few firearms.

Anything in particular that you are looking for?
 

If we're about to head off overland, then I'd want to buy a tent, some trail rations, that general kind of thing. If we're heading off to see the yuan-ti, then some antitoxin might be a good idea as well. I'd also like to see if I could find some scentbreaker (from Tome and Blood). I'm inclined to wait until we've seen the council, in case we can get them to pay for any of it :)

If there are any psionic items for sale in the town, Jansson would want at the very least to have a look at them. The same goes for any odd weapons (along the lines of the 'kreen weapons).
