Shopping in New Illios

After getting into New Illios, we quickly found an inn, with an onsen, much to Dearelin's discharge. Shortly after getting ourselves settled for the night, Vesper, Cyan and I left to go and deal with the logistics of the next portion of our investigation, as Taris has strict policies about outsiders performing investigations within their borders.
 
After returning, we go relax in the onsen. Syleran proceeds to try and interrogate Dearlin on why he did not say anything about having a voice in his head. After a terrible interrogation, its time to go sleep off the events of the day, leaving Dearlin, Sherriden, Greg and Vesper alone in the bath.
 
In the morning, we visit a magic shop called Wizard's Mail run by a man named Zymblyss. Kai'lai and some of the others picked up some bags of holding of various colours. Unfortunately he did not have any Armors or weapons that were of interest to Daerlin and I and so suggested another shop, called the Forcefeild for Daerlin and I to find more weapons and armor. He also mentions a jewelry shop by the name of Thunder Crackin for Syleran's search for magic rings.
 
At Forcefeild, the shop is attached to a blacksmith. We are approached by a human women. She helps us with checking if her shop has the objects that we are looking for. Daerlin is able to pick up some mithril halfplate, and Vesper is able to get and enchant some new armor as well. They lack the types of weapons that I am looking for at a reasonable price however. I do get my armor repaired, best to keep my equipment up. The repairs will be complete in the morning.
 
After our shopping adventures, we all meet back up at the Inn, where Tsumi Mei and Cyan are waiting for us. We go over our travel plans and are officially hired by Tsumi Mei to guard an archaeological expedition to one of the towers we need to investigate within Taris. We also go over payments for our services. Any scientific or historically important artifacts we find will be going to the university, while any other artifacts will be ours. We will be paid 25g a day, and 50g per day during the actual expedition.
 
We go relax in the onsen after dinner and discussing our upcoming expedition.
