Strega
Once her senses return to her Strega will head for bed to rest and recover. "I am heading up to bed, I think some rest will help me recover. Pleased to greet you Quaalxor, I always enjoy meeting dragon hunters."

Rumble
Before going to bed, Rumble watches an armored dwarf burst in. His fur ripples slightly but when the situation is defused, he relaxes. "Friend of yours?" He asks Oskar.
Rumble slowly stalks around the newcomer, admiring the large axe on his back. "Man after my own heart, you are. Tell me, do you feel the latest design on the axe cuts as well as last season's?" Rumble continues his examination for a bit longer, then gets bored and heads upstairs.

Re: Episode 0: Dahyrst
"Why thank you most gracious Lady.", he says to Stregga giving her a bow as well.
Settling towards the bar and his pint of bitter he addresses Rumble. "I use only my families design (then he spits on the ground to his right, and mutters a curse on some dragon), and they cut fine. Personally I think it's more about edge and the grip on the handle. If we have the time I'll show you how to get a a good long lasting cutting edge on your blade".
If the room empties he'll go ahead and get a bed for the night, if not he'll stay and chat.

Oskar
Oskar tells the dwarf how they had acquired the object for a man, then on investigating it, it exploded. He tells him that they (the group) is on their way to Greenest in the morning unless something else catches their attention. He's welcome to come along, if he's going that way...
Not long after this, he heads up to bed.
A bit of a meta thing, I guess. But can we "hang out chatting" for a bit as part of the "long rest"? If that works, I'd say we could assume Oskar would be happy to mellow out with the newcomer & get to know him a bit before going to bed.

Quaalxor
"Thanks, for the invite. I think I will join you. If they're giving you gifts like that then another axe might come in handy" I reply to Oskar.
I'll stay up until others are retiring, then I'll off to bed myself.

Re: Episode 0: Dahyrst
Figures, shortly after I made my last OOC comment, our Internet connection went down. Apparently it's an issue my provider is having throughout the Midwest, and other regions to a lesser extent.
I'll do my best to get this out tonight, but I may need to save it and post it in the morning.

New Morning
"A pint of your best bitter," the new dwarf orders, both to quench his thirst, but also to hopefully return a state of normalcy to the inn after the recent explosion. When Briez rushes off to fulfill the drink order, the dwarf leaves a gold coin on the bar top and, relying upon his sense of smell, moves towards where he believes the explosion took place... which leads him directly to where the burnt spot on the floor is located. The newcomer takes a knee, leans over, and inhales deeply, and tasting a sample of the soot left behind. It's difficult to get a truly accurate reading, but he strongly suspects -- based on the smell and taste -- some powder from a highly spicy pepper was at least part of the combustible. Madame Hily interrupts the investigation as she returns from the kitchen with a wooden bucket filled with soapy water and a brush. "Your drink's on the bar," she says. "Complementary," she adds as she begins scrubbing the floor, looking to remove the reminder.
"What brings you to this sleepy village, stranger?" Bren asks as the dwarf settles into a stool at the bar. After taking a deep swig of his strongly flavored beer, the newcomer shares his dislike of dragons -- which might explain the strange stare the dwarf and dragonborn shared moments earlier. "The explosion made me forget me manners, I am Quaalxor." the dwarf shares, extending a rough hand in Bren's direction, leaving the sorcerer thinking, hopefully, this dislike of dragons is limited to just those of the evil variety.
"I'm heading up to bed," Strega interjects. "I think some rest will help me recover." the albino half-orc states, still trying to get the ringing in her ears to stop completely. "Pleased to meet you Quaalxor, I always enjoy meeting dragon hunters," she adds before taking her leave. Rumble, too, postpones his own trip upstairs to slowly stalks around the newcomer, admiring the large axe on his back. "Man after my own heart, you are. Tell me, do you feel the latest design on the axe cuts as well as last season's?" Quaalxor shares that he only uses his family designed blades, and offers to demonstrate how to get a long lasting cutting edge on a blade. The tabaxi continues his examination for a bit longer, then gets bored and heads upstairs.
Eventually, Oskar shares how they had acquired what turned out to be a fake dragon egg for a man, which ultimately is what exploded. "We're on our way to Greenest in the morning," he volunteers. "You're welcome to come along, if you're going that way."
Oskar, and Quaalxor, and Bren, and anyone else linger about for a bit, chatting, before ultimately turning in for the night.
---
The group reconvenes in the dining area shortly after sunrise the following morning, well rested and in good spirits.
Madame Hily informs Oskar that there is a general smith in town, and provides him to Drida's Ironworks. The innkeeper also shares that Rina's Oddities would be the place to seek out general adventuring gear.
Briez, as promised the night before, hurries over a glass jar of freshly made wildberry jam along with a tray of piping hot biscuits. “My sister and I picked the berries ourselves,” she repeats, still proud. The young halfling sweeps her long black hair out of her face then takes any additional food and drink orders.
---
Feel free to continue to role-play. But, also, let's take care of any shopping requests before the group sets out for the day?
Is the plan to still continue on to Greenest?

Re: Episode 0: Dahyrst
Bren takes the offered hand of the newcomer. That counts for something. As the party lingers over breakfast, Bren asks of the newcomer "You are hunting dragons you mentioned last night? What exactly are you hunting if you don't mind sharing?"
OOC: Would the nights rest be a short/long rest? Bren would recover his breath weapon ability if so.

Quaalxor enters as the young hobbit is putting down her biscuits. "Them's some lovely tarts young lady, but a Dwarf needs a bit more to keep his ribs properly covered. Could you please fry me up a ha dozen eggs, a pound a ham, and a nice block of cheddar cheese on the side?"
Then he shakes Bren's hand "Why ultimately I search for a large black beast, that should have a scar near his right eye that I gave him. Goes by Zlar, but he's a crafty one, and so I am on the lookout for any and all dragon activity. Maybe it will lead me to the fiend so I can sever him from this world, or if not him then it probably still needs to be terminated. And, what pray tell are you and your friends in search of?"
I'd like to purchase a daggar. Do we do that via rp, or just through notes?
"Sorry, I couldn't get much of a read on the explosive last night, but thinking on it, it did have a strong pepper base so at least we have something to go on to compare any future little gifts we might receive."

Strega
"That would be an interesting story to hear Quaalxor." Strega says as she eats her breakfast. Turning to Briez, "Briez, would you mind putting me together a lunch I can take with me? Thanks." Turning back to the others, "I think we need to get moving soon if we are to make it to Greenest soon, I can still feel the call to get there."
OOC: Was our meals today covered by our patron from last night? If not how much? Either way I will leave a GP tip for our hosts.

Oskar
Impressed by the story of the black beast, the middle-aged Oskar offers "I can't speak for my associates and their reasons to travel. I'm here out of curiosity. I'm on my way to visit the fine Keep Scatterheart in Greenest. I've got a date with some buttresses, you might say. I wasn't anticipating... violence."
Oskar is interested in buying/upgrading to a chain shirt, if that's possible (with a trade in of his leather armor?
By the book this would be 50-5=45 gp) . He is also interested in picking up masons tools and carpenters tools.
All of these would only be possible if there's no price *inflation* and he spends his diamond, so there might be some choices to make.

Rumble
"Ooh! Biscuits! And JAM!" Rumble races downstairs as he hears and smells the hint of jam. He tries his best to wait patiently as the jam gets passed around. His tail flicking about wildly. When he finally grabs the jam, he spreads it liberally on the biscuits at first, and then just uses his face to eat the rest.
"Excellent jam, Briez. I know how hard it is to pick the berries, especially to not eat them all." A jam-faced Rumble expresses his appreciation.
"Greenest. Right. Been too long." Rumble starts the arduous process of removing jam from his fur.
Rumble is interested in a wagon and an animal to pull it.

Re: Episode 0: Dahyrst
"Luckily most don't need to anticipate violence. I hope you find your buttresses peaceful. If not for unexpected violence I'd be building up heat in my forge a'now instead of lollygagging with the jam eater there and the t'others." Then to the bar maid " Thank'ee for the service lass you've done well , he'll leave gp on the table for her. Sitting back enjoying the now yellow stained board, and pocketing the small portion of ham and cheese for later.
Re: Episode 0: Dahyrst
This next update is going focus on all the shopping requests, here: Buying and Selling. It's not looking likely, but if I have time later tonight I will revisit this main thread and move the action along.

Tannaris Vethykos
Tannaris makes his way downstairs, stretching and working the kinks out of his back. He sits quietly at a table and tucks into breakfast while studying his spell book.
After a while he gathers his leather armor.
" Briez, would you be so kind as to give me directions to an establishment where I could sell my armor?"

Re: Episode 0: Dahyrst
Leaving Dahyrst
After the group concludes their shopping trip, they reconvene back at the Sleepy Salmon to collect the rest of their possessions before setting out for Greenest. Briez slips each member of the group a loaf of freshly baked bread for their journey. "Actually, hold on one sec -- " she says, dashing off into the kitchen and returning with a large rolled up sheet of dried parchment. "Here," she says, unfurling the parchment to reveal a scarcely detailed regional map: "You can follow River Chionthar which winds southeast a bit, which will take you a little out of your way, but will prevent you from getting lost; or, just head straight south -- either way, once you hit the Uldoon Trail, head west -- it passes directly through Greenest."
"It's about a half day journey, so, leaving now, you should probably expect to arrive right around sunset."
Briez and Madame Hily thank you for your patronage, and welcome you back any time.
At just after half-past eight in the morning, you begin your journey.

Okay, this is more a set up than an actual action post. We'll get you guys moving here soon!

Re: Episode 0: Dahyrst
To Greenest
As per the suggestion from Briez's, you depart Dahyrst early, and follow the River Chionthar as it winds south and southeast, not stopping for longer than the occasional break. After what you guess to be four hours, as promised, and as the map illustrated, you spy the Uldoon Trail straight ahead. All you need to do now is follow it west, and runs directly through Greenest.
After a brief lunch, you begin your journey west. The trail, which, while consisting of nothing more than stamped mud and solid dirt, functions more like a road. A well traveled road, marked with footprints of all shapes and sizes, as well heavy draft animal impressions and wagon tracks, which are to be expected given this is the only real route trade caravans are able to travel.
You pass through the rolling grasslands, with some rolls in the landscape amounting to a near equivalent of an actual hills, making the journey more difficult. Especially for Daisy, pulling a wagon.
You travel for roughly four more hours, then another four hours, before ultimately stopping to take a quick break again for dinner, finishing off any snacks gifted to you before leaving Dahyrst.
The sun, which had been at your back for most of this western stretch, passes you, and continues to gradually descend against the western horizon.
As the sun continues to lower, and nightfall approaches, you suspect your journey may finally be nearing its end.
Your legs begin to ache as you begin yet another incline.
Clang!
A bell sounds off in the distance in front of you.
Clang!
The bell sounds again.
The clanging of this bell, at this time of night, fills you with a sense of unease.
Clang!
You near the top of the rise.
Greenest lies ahead, still a few short miles away. Thankfully this distance is all downhill; but care will still need to be taken for Daisy's benefit. The distance between your current location and the town proper is dotted with simple wooden structures -- farms, mills, tanneries, stables, carters, wainwrights, coopers, brewers, and other industries vital to supporting a trade town.
Clang!
The town.
When you catch sight of Greenest just ahead, instead of the pleasant, welcoming town you expected, you see columns of black smoke rising from burning buildings; figures, that are little more than dots at this distance, running to-and-fro; and a dark, winged shape wheeling low over the keep that rises above the center of the town.
Clang!
A bolt of lightning bursts forth from the dark, winged shape.
You think you hear screams! Of maybe that's just your mind playing tricks on you?
Greenest is being attacked by a dragon!

Your scene is officially set. I know you're going to be anxious to dive in and begin replying, but I am going to lock this down.
