[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 8962085, member: 7015827"] It was not until late afternoon the following day, Tarsakh 7, when the five companions ran into each other again at the Two Swords inn in Teziir. Aerikoth and Rosten in the meantime had teleported to Westgate to deliver the Cloak of Darkness to The Vulture, while Dermot and Lloria made their way independently to Teziir; Darrow had stayed behind in Reddansyr to clear up a case of swampfoot before hitting the road. Dermot and Lloria spotted the other three as soon as they arrived at the inn, with a poorly-looking Killian Gryphonhawk in tow. Rosten asked who the new person was, the hin observing he rarely found a man smelling worse than he. Dermot said that Killian was a friend in need of a cleanup, which Aerikoth volunteered to do, and the son of the fellow who ran the inn in Reddansyr. As the mage used a prestidigitation spell to remove the filth from the young man’s clothes, Lloria explained that Killian had pissed away the whole money pouch for his supply run. This drew a wince from him, as he weakly waved his thanks to the wizard. While the clothes were newly clean and de-wrinkled, Rosten commented that Killian’s smell wasn’t going anywhere without a proper washing. Two Swords innkeeper Gregs gave the dehydrated young man a jug of water and said he could send up a washbasin to their room, if they wanted. Lloria asked if Killian still had the supply list and he bitterly admitted that he had lost that too, but he knew it by heart, as it was the usual one for the inn – flour, ale, vegetables from the market, some more potions. Lloria asked him to write it down anyway, apparently intending to complete the task herself. Gregs escorted the still-loopy Killian upstairs, who was mumbling to himself about being a great adventurer, as his eyes teared up. ([I]I normally would have little sympathy for someone who had just lost all their father's gold in a night of drunken debauchery, but Killian indeed was hard-used, prior to being rescued from a necromantic hag's captivity by an earlier incarnation of the adventuring group. --R[/I]) Dermot and Lloria recounted to the others how Ian Gryphonhawk had asked them to look out for Killian, whom they found penniless and drunk in a Teziir cheaphouse, as the ranger put it. Lloria then noted the time, close to the eighteenth bell, and Dermot explained – with a minor epithet – that they had a dinner appointment with Lord Queron, which surprised the others. Darrow was happy to hear of this, recalling Queron setting a good table, which made Rosten similarly look forward to the meal and to meeting the merchant-councillor, whose daughter the company had previously rescued.
