The remaining four gathered at the Gatereach Inn for breakfast, Rahnee and Brok-Tul trickling in last. Jandrico Swift informed them that Jokull had stopped by a few hours earlier for a large breakfast and had said that he would not be back for some time; the Ironhelm dwarf Dwyvar had also departed early in the morning. (I cannot say that I agree with Jokull's decision, but perhaps I understand it. The warrior's quest for revenge had become burned into his soul, so much that he could not help but follow it, even in the face of a higher calling. --C)Rahnee asked Jandrico if there was any excitement or rumors going around town. The innkeeper told her that people were still talking about Josurr’s victory at the Quivering Thumb the previous night, as well as the new barbarian gladiator Khaan. Before leaving to help Goruna in the kitchen, Jandrico brought in some of the new shipment of Mulhorandi tea for those who wished to drink it.After breakfast, the group discussed their next steps and decided to head into town, each having some business to attend to. Aerikoth announced he would visit the mage Gondeth, to inform him of the latest news, while Brok-Tul declared he needed some supplies and to see a tailor. Veran and Rahnee also figured they could use some additional provisions in advance of their planned trip to Turnton. Aerikoth made the suggestion that it would be worthwhile to check at the Mercenaries Guild for any new business opportunities, which Rahnee agreed with. Aerikoth also made an oblique reference to the need to deal with the Thayan wizard at some point, while Brok-Tul wondered aloud what had happened to the recent “friend” they had made, meaning Marise.Some time later, Aerikoth ran across the others in the streets of the Harbor Loop. He informed them that only slim choices were available at the Mercenaries Guild, the options being limited to capturing magical creatures for the Quivering Thumb, or “babysitting” nobles on guard contracts. Brok-Tul excitedly declared it an opportunity to get in close to Lord Cormaeril, although Rahnee made the point that it was unlikely he would need to contract for bodyguards. The companions then reviewed the options available for their next steps, including discussing at length the prospects for successfully manipulating Melissa to help them once they reached Turnton.The group talked as they headed back to the Gatereach. Just outside the gate, Rahnee recalled that she had failed to follow up on the message she had sent to Thalavar Steward Iono, asking for a meeting that morning. She and Brok-Tul headed back toward Castle Thalavar, while Veran and Aerikoth went inside the inn to await them.Some time later, Rahnee and Brok-Tul came running into the Gatereach. A panting and smiling Rahnee declared that she could run faster then Brok-Tul - especially when she cheated and got a head start while he was thinking. Rahnee commented that although Thalavar did not need any horses, a certain “friend” of theirs would be looked after. Brok- Tul, in a low voice, confirmed that Thalavar agent Garis had been put on Jamal’s case.Jandrico emerged from the kitchen and served drinks for the thirsty companions, including the last of the Mulhorandi tea for Rahnee and a Dragon’s Breath beer for Brok-Tul, who fittingly toasted Gonzo with it. Taking the teapot, Rahnee led the others back to the guest house.</blockquote>
