What will the next quest be?

by Alleraia Ravenswhisper

Who is this new Bard in town?? He is a pink skinned Tiefling with long flowing white hair, wearing purple striped breeches and an overcoat, with a feathered hat collecting donations. What is this Underdark Pip speaks of ? How did Glasstaff leave the cavern, the portal? Hmmm ...
But
Pip has an admirer, but is totally awkward and blows his chance. Alleraia decides to play her Viol with Vinzor the bard. He claims to be a lonely traveling bard, but when he begins flirting with Alleraia another female Tiefling comes running over and begins berating him. Her name is Septa (?). She greets Alleraia joyfully and offers to join vinzor and provide a joyful tune. Alleraia joins them and the trio plays some music while Siegrane cheers them on.
 
Osha suggests that the bards should sing songs about our adventures! But first! Our group needs a name! Howdore's Heros? Mantadoors? The Adoorkables? The masters of Spydoors? The Drooping Droppers? The order of Dangerous Doors? The Salesmen? A random, rouge group of travels who meet by fate at the Inn, have become "The Salesmen" of Phandolin. Vinzor offers to write a song about our adventures. But since we are an indecisive group, 5 minutes later we changed our name to "The Mordoors".
 
The group now breaks up to run various errands. Alleraia will go visit Adabra, Osha and Caldae are going to sell Beaver pelts, Siegrane will make more beer. But first, we tease Pip about his girlfriend Pip, and then Osha and Caldae drag him out the door. Howdore will help do "beer things". But first Siegrane needs to go shopping for beer crafting supplies.

Sigrane and Howdore shopping .... Siegrane asks the smithy for an appraisal for the armor he looted previously. He finds the one breast plate to be very intricately carved, but doesn't think he can refit it to Siegrane, but could possible fit it to Howdore for 300 gold. Instead he takes 300 gold per breast plate and sells them. He asks the smithy where to find brewing supplies, and is told that he doesn't think he can find those items in Phandolin. Siegrane heads to Barthon's store.

Caldae and Osha begin walking to the store and along the way search for some flowers. They find some flowers and Caldae makes a crown for Droop, who seems to now be a member of the Mordoors. They continue to look for flowers, and find some lovely orange and pink flowers in a neighbors window box. They sneak up and steal some flowers and then hand the bouquet to a drunk Pip, who has done too much day drinking. They continue along and find what seems to be a trading post. A woman with jet black hair pulled back in a bun and having sharp blue eyes is appraising rocks for another patron. Nevermind, Osha changes the plan....
 
And now Alleraia magically appears next to Osha and walks along with them on the way to Adabra's farm. Her son is out in the yard and Caldae runs over and greets him and gives him a rusty dagger as a gift. They enter the cottage and Caldae and Osha force Pip to go give Elliza the flowers they had picked along the way. He awkwardly approaches and givers her the flowers. Elize blushes as she receives the flowers and takes a sniff. She tells him she has been worried since she hasn't seen him in a few days.
 
Osha asks if Eliza can sew 8 beaver pelt hats, one for everyone in The Mordoors, and one for Eliza. Eliza agrees and says she appreciates all the hard work The Mordoors have been doing. Osha gives her 10 beaver pelts to use for the hats. Osha asks if they have any sugar, yeast, or hops on the farm. She says Osha needs to ask Kaleen, who is the owner of the farm. Eliza returns with her mother Adabra, and a halfling lady who is very chipper and friendly. She says she doesn't have hops, but is happy to share sugar and yeast in return for all we've done for Adabra and Pip.
Alleraia finds out the the Wyrmling tail is very rare and only used by Arch Wizards. Alleraia asks about Sister Garielle. She says she keeps to herself, keeps the shrine spotless, leaves town occassionally but doesn't tell anyone where she goes. She seems mostly friendly and helps the townfolk when neeeded. She has clerical abilities so might be helpful with identifying the ingredients.
The three Mordoors turn to leave, but first Kaleen brings two sacks of sugar and a sack of yeast for Siegrane. Alleraia splits off to pay sister Garielle a visit and ask about the items and also the Arch Wizard Glasstaff. Osha and Caldae head to the exchange.
Osha and Caldae head to the Miners Exchange.

Siegrane enters Barthon's Store. He asks the person behind the counter where to find sugar, yeast, and hops. He doesn't have any in stock, but could order them in, but it would take a long time. Siegrane agrees to place an order for 10 sacks each of sugar, yeast, and hops. Siegrane and Howdore head back to the Inn.
 
---------
 
Back at the Miner's Exchange. Osha asks how much she could sell beaver pelts for. He offers 38 gold for 19 beaver pelts and Osha agrees. Then Osha pulls out the giant tooth and asks if they have any interest, but they decline saying that they don't deal in monster trophies.
 
Apparently we needed to add an adverb to our team name .... so we are now "The Mostly Mordoors"

Alleraia heads to sister Garielle's place. Will look at the map Darren had later.
 
Wave echo cave legend, about 400 years ago , around the time of the Orc raids that swept the area. A pact made by gnomes, dwarves, and humans cave had a powerful source of magic they wanted to harness and they fought with Orcs over it. Gundrin was also looking for the cave. Harbin looking to find a place to shelter the town folk. Alleraia goes back to the Inn to meet up with everyone else.

Back at the Inn ... the husband and wife bard have left and the inn is fairly quiet. The group orders food and Osha shares her gold from the beaver pelts, 11 gold each. Osha then gives Siegrane the brewing supplies she got from Adabra. He was very excited. Pip is passed out drunk. Osha calls Siegrane out for not sharing his gold, and so he gives her 50 gold, and then after she prods him he shares 75 gold with each party member. Caldae wants to visit the bell ringer. Caldae unceremoniously slips away from the table, but slams into Pip on her way and jars Pip awake causing eeveryone to look her way as she walks out the door without saying a thing.
 
She walks up to the bell ringer and strikes up a conversation. The bell man sounds like a redneck. Caldae asks why he rings the bell? He says for the dead and he rings it as long as the God's want him to. Apparently he is schizophrenic and hears voices. Caldae ask what God's he talks to. He says Tymora, a lovely lady .... Fiddlfop, but he doesn;t understand much of what he loudly says. Sometimes he talks to Gong? Caldae tells him he does a wonderful job and that he should ring it louder. Which he excitedly agrees to do. Caldae turns and walks back to the in as the bell begins ringing even louder. Apprently her goal was to mess with Pip's hangover.
 
MORE COWBELL!!

Caldae rejoins the party at the table at the Inn. We discuss our next adventure, and decide perhaps we will go find the fortress Harbin was looking for to shelter the townsfolk from the Dragon. Toblin walks over as we discuss rumors of another group of adventurers, he proceeds to tell us our group is much better than the other group. Yay!! We rule!! Toblin tells us the name of the dwarven fortress is called Axeholme . It's in the mountains outside of town and supposed to be haunted by Banshee's.
Toblin asks us what we plan to do with Droop? We inform him that we have adopted him into our group.siegrane asks toblin where to find hops. He tells us supplies ordered from Neverwinter delivered down the high road are ok, but along the Triboar supplies and travelers have gone missing along this route due to Orc and Goblin raids. We offer to help with the problem in the future.
Caldae runs over to Droop and gives him a matching flower crown to go with Howdore's now wilted one. Droop thinks the flowers are stinky, but politely wears it anyways. Osha gives Droop another shiny so he will follow her upstairs to go to bed.
