Durnn, Earth Genasi Fighter 1
Durnn also (loudly) praises Pemberton for his meticulousness. He again offers to do any of the heavy lifting for the firewood and the such. When helping load the horses, Durnn suggests that he would like one of the silvered swords as well, though doesn't presume since he didn't have enough gold to significantly help.

Chapter 1 - Leaving Town?
While shopping you find the townsfolk in good modes despite the ever looming threat of death lurking behind the town walls. You find the blacksmith that was referred to you and surprisingly there is no mark up on any of the silver weapons. The blacksmith has lived in this town for decades and now thinks of everyone as family so he refuses to make a killing selling the tools the town needs to defend itself with. When talking to the Alchemist he also mentions he has been doing some experiments with liquids and has come up with a very thick sticky substance called Quicksilver. He shows you a tiny little capsule that when you break it open over any melee or thrown weapon coats it with a silvery substance that makes the item act just like a silver weapon for a few rounds. He is selling these capsules for 50 gp a piece and mentions they can be real handy in a pinch. Everyone already here seems to already know your names and they all wish you luck on your adventures to the monastery and as with most people everyone is ready and freely gives you any advice they think might matter. Most of the advice that is freely given is down right laughable but you do a pretty good job of keeping a straight face to not offend the townspeople, they mean well but some of them do not have a clue.
In the middle of your shopping a familiar voice enters your mind with these words, "I have another task for you as well that is in the same general vicinity. Seek out a woman named "Hrodel" (ooc: forgot magazine will fill in name later) as she is in need of a group of adventures to bring something home. In so doing there is a book in the form of crystals that I am interested in and I need you to get for me." With that the voice fades from your mind.
(ooc: your shopping list is fine and you are able to purchase the items you listed out.)

Brenden snorts. "So, when is our merry band of errand boys going to get a move on?"
Spying Pemberton and the others as they come in, "By the oldstaff! Are you buying for an entire army Pemberton?! Did you leave the townies any weapons at all?"

Bendyn selects a short sword and arrows from the collection of weapons. "You know I'll cover this from any treasure we recover or payment we receive. Thank you." He glances at the others. "Well, I suggest we get moving. No use wasting time. I for one am eager to clear the forest long before the moon rises." He goes to his horse and makes ready to ride.

OOC: Does everyone get the voice in their head or just Pemberton, and can he reply?
IC: "Master, do you want us to seek out this __________ woman before we go the monastary or after?"
He'll ask about and see where she lives; if it is in town, or on the way.
When he gets back to the inn:
"I left them enough to turn you into a human pincushion if the urge takes them. I don't about you, but I intend to die in bed, preferably accompanied by 3 or 4 nubile maidens. I take it you don't want anything then, that's okay we'll use you as bait."
"Oh, and we've got another jon, there's some woman called __________ we need to get something for. We might to split up and catch you up later."

"Thank you for doing the shopping, here is half the cost of the equipment.
"Should we find out about this Hrodel before we go? Or take care of it after we get back from the monastery? Boss seemed to think that she was in the general area as well, so we may encounter her on the way to or from the place." Sten says as he hands Pemberton 140gp and takes one of the short swords. It feels really awkward in his hands, but if it comes to it, he'd rather have something.

Chapter 1 - Seeking Hrodel
(ooc: Only Pemberton heard the masters voice and you were unable to reply but you got the sense that he wanted you to do this trip at the same time as the monastery.)
With asking some of the townsfolk concerning Hrodel they get a sad expression on their face and give you directions to her house here in town. They mention that the family has been on bad times every since her mother died and now the father continues to leave town chasing after his youth when he was an adventurer such as yourself.

"I think we need to see her before we go. Mindal do you want to take a group off? Brenden seems anxious to get going - Talon go with them and look after the packhorse. I and whoever else is coming with me will catch you up. This shouldn't take long..."
OOC:
If Gripir is NPCing right now then Pemberton will suggest he goes with the first group.
Yay, split the party at the first availible opportunity...
