Thanks for the sour persimmons, cousin.
"Feinwit me." Gripir mumbles as he examines his empty tankard. "Altho-aye wondriph we reallineedte mensonan employer? Unleswheel red e half andeye mistit."
He scratches Sigulf behind the ears absentmindedly.
"Although I wonder if we really need to mention an employer? Unless we already have and I missed it."

"Gripir has a point... if I understand him correctly. I think we need a boss though... someone that would have commissioned the search. But I'm thinking some sore of place of higher learning... maybe a temple of Oghma or a library of sorts. We don't want to reveal the name of our employer if we can help it." As he speaks, Durnn is keeping an eye on the other patrons to make sure 1) no one is eavesdropping and 2) no one is coming after Sigulf.

"What would be the point in pretending to be someone everyone likes? Everyone already likes me... Among strangers, it is better to be feared than loved. That particular lesson comes at a harsh price. My father was loved by many, but that didn't save him in the end." He sips his water while the conversation moves on to cover stories and whatnot.
"Why Gripnir, you CAN talk!" he exclaims. "Looks like you win after all Pemberton."
"Hmm. The best lies are based in the truth aren't they? Why not claim to be working for a wealthy wizard who needs us to fetch some kind of keystone for his studies. I don't know much about architecture, but don't all buildings have a starting point? Maybe our employer could be under the impression that a certain stone in the monestary's foundation is mystically important... whether it is or not is irrelevant." Brenden pauses to drink more water. "What do you think about that?"

"Spracticle. Truthesal wayzee zeorto remememe thanalai."
Gripir nods sagely. He ignores Brenden's comment about his being able to speak (not because he's bothered by it, but because there's really nothing to say about it now).
"It's practical. The truth is always easier to remember than a lie."

Sten has remained silent for most of the discussion about their approach, preferring to watch the passersby and make sure that the group is not given any untoward attention. When it is time for a decision to be made he chimes in with a simple, "Sounds good to me. I'll leave the talking to you. Durnn when ever you are ready I would like to accompany you to find some silvered weapons."

Gripir shrugs and then nods.
OOC: Just an FYI, I'm going to be away most of the week. Two jobs, internship, interview. Crazy times.
