[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 7956435, member: 7015827"] Around dinnertime, the companions, minus Jokull, regrouped at the Gatereach inn. While their meal was being prepared, in response to a question from Darrow, Jandrico commented that his “insurers” were not happy with what had happened with the fire that destroyed the inn’s outbuildings, mentioning that he might get some satisfaction as a result, if not his full investment back. Jokull returned just as dinner was being served, earning a suggestive gap-toothed smile from Goruna as she delivered the meal, lamb with mint sauce. Dinendal had some philosophical objections to being served lamb, but nonetheless consumed it with a guilty relish. Rahnee handed Jokull a pouch full of gold as he took his seat, explaining that it was his share of the proceeds from the gem sale; the others had received theirs earlier. While some preferred wine, ale, or simply water, Rahnee and Dinendal asked Jandrico for some tea, only to be informed that the inn’s stock of tea had burned along with the outbuilding. This prompted Rahnee to swear, with feeling, to kill those responsible. ([I]Sometimes it is the small pleasures in life that we miss the most. --R[/I]) After the innkeeper and his assistant had excused themselves, Jokull informed Dinendal that his “friends” had agreed to meet the elf, once their current business was finished. ([I]I assume that this is a reference to Jokull's Harper contacts.

He at first wondered if she intended to take up the Art, but was told that it was his mind and counsel that interested her. Following dinner, Aerikoth indicated that he wished to attempt magically locating their stolen objects. The wizard agreed to accompany the others on the way to the Black Eye, where they would try to meet up with their “other friend” as Rahnee put it, meaning the mercenary Khair. Before they departed, Dinendal insisted on once more trying to break the cipher of the note found at Hallton’s manor, although his efforts proved unsuccessful. Once outside in the rain, the party divided. Jokull and Dinendal accompanied Aerikoth to the Castle District, where the mage began his magical search, focusing on locating the chest they had originally taken from Hallton‘s manor. Rahnee and Darrow meanwhile continued on to the Black Eye as planned, in order to see if Khair was there and had any information for them. Jokull and Dinendal, who had become tired of standing around Aerikoth in the rain, also eventually headed to the seedy tavern, having been assured by the wizard that he did not need their protection. At breakfast the following morning on Alturiak 8, Aerikoth arrived last to the Gatereach and found Rahnee, Dinendal and Darrow hungrily devouring a plate of Goruna’s griddle cakes with honey. The three had crowded into a single room at the Gatereach with Jokull the previous night; the warrior apparently still needed sleep, as a result.
