As the second day draws to a close, the group finds itself back at the sage's shop and residence. Kote studies well into the night, but is rewarded with a new spell written into his spellbook. Around dinner time Angrod and Logan return from their day on the town with little in the way of new information. Surprisingly, Ava appears shortly thereafter as well with a somber look on her face.

The sage looks up and calls back for Imelda to make some more food before warmly welcoming Ava to his table. As the night wears on the sage tells you that you are welcome to use his place for another night if you wish.
 

As the group sits down for a meal, Angrod again eats as if this meal will be his last. The elf also has virtually no social grace, as he talks with his mouth full.

"So... uhh... Do we know what we have now? Can we sell the stuff? I... ah... still need some coin."

Before an answer comes, however, the elf turns and stares pointedly at Ava. Apparently having lost any sense of common courtesy, he blurts out, "And what in the Nine Hells er yah doing out there? We've got told stories that you're gone nuts... or sumptin'."
 


"I've been told by my superiors that I must give up on the thing most important to me. I am a dissapointment, and would understand if you'd like me to leave." Ava says with defeat overpowering her voice.
 

Kote appears quite drained and thoroughly exhausted as they sit down to sup.

"Always in such a rush. Tomorrow friend. Tomorrow we will have all that we need to know. What you should be thinking on now, is what happens next. While there will certainly be some windfall from these goods, it won't be enough to settle on a farm with miller's daughter if you catch my meaning. While this place is nice, i'm quite sure there's much more to see elsewhere and if our luck holds out we'll reap a considerable amount more than we ever expected." Kote says,, shaking his head at the impatience of his companions.

At the lamenting of Ava, Kote sets his utensils down and looks directly at her, compassion on his face, "Lass, no one likes to hear the truth, especially when it's not the truth your looking for. Reason doesn't help much, but it's all we have. Your mother, who was likely a great force herself, fell to this man. You, though unquestionably destined for great things, are still a young pup. There's a great deal of time and learning you'll need to stand up to him. It would do your mother little justice to sacrifice yourself needlessly. Revenge is slow, well-planned, and methodical, deary. Running from town to town shouting the atrocities done to your family is nothing more than self-pity. If you sincerely want revenge, find a means before you find your target, and make sure you win."

He smiles shortly, and returns to eating and smalltalk and refrains from commenting on the issue for the remainder of the night.
 

Ava lets the conversation pass by her for the night as she let's Kote's words sink in and gain greater meaning. As the night passes a new meaning of life can be seen in her eyes.
 

Logan takes a break from digging in his food to comment, "I hope you never have cause to plot revenge on me, I prefer the folks that jump right in without planning..."
 

The sage is more than happy to offer his place to you for another night for "a round sum of 57 gold, total". If there are no objections Ava will be allowed to have her own area, while the men are put up in the same room as before.[sblock=DI&Mn]Midway through the night both of you hear the sound of someone pounding loudly on the door, Logan can make out curses and gruff demands for someone to wake up and get the door. Someone does just that pretty quickly.[/sblock]
