Rory and Nahin - neither of you recognize any of the Waterdhavian guards. They appear very young, and this is likely their first assignment.
Han, Tymora has blessed your die rolls. The young barmaid smiles and says quietly "The inn closes in 3 hours. I'll see you then." (in the heavens, Tymora smiles and says "the cleric of Lady Luck appears to be getting lucky..."
Rory, the barmaid seems interested in Mr. Han, but says her name is Delia.
As it turns out, Jayce doesn't have too hard a job in keeping Dak, Grinkle and Melvin in line. Dak and Grinkle (and a couple farmers) seem entranced listening to Melvin's gripping tale of goats, demon lords, and angry orcs. As off the wall as the tale seems, you strangely find yourself believing Melvin...
Nahin leads Marcus, Rory, and (presumably) Han to the Morgan's table. The man stands and offers a hand to you all, and his wife smiles pleasantly and nods at you all. The man says "Please excuse me, I know you gentlemen are probably tired from your travels, but I wanted to speak to you about a situation we have, and how we could perahps make use of your special talents. First, I'll tell you who I am, and if you'd like to hear about my problem, or ask me questions, I'll be happy to tell you. Please, sit down."
As you sit and get comfortable, Mr. Morgan makes some small talk with you all, commenting on how it's nice that you've befriended "poor Melvin." He also offhandedly mentions that he was entertaining Seedius, and he told him of what you were off doing, and told Seedius that he'd like to see you all when you returned. He praises his great luck in being in the same place you all were tonight. After the pleasantries have been exchanged, he says "a little about us... My name is Therman, and this is my wife Edith. Our families go way back in this area. As a result, we've inherited thousands of acres of land over the years. We are nearly the last of our family line, other than our Son. (you note that he glances at Edith as he mentions his son, and his expression changes to one of sadness. He quickly composes himself and continues) We have hundreds of acres of active fields, and thousands of acres of fallow ground. We allow many of the locals to use our land for farming and grazing, only asking that they keep it in good condition. As we've gotten older, and survived a scare by some nasty Kobolds, we've moved back to Red Larch, and we hire others to work our land, or loan it out as I mentioned. So I guess you could say we are retired farmers." He smiles at Edith and they both look at you all. "Enough about us, tell us about yourselves. Seedius has spoken so highly of your band."
Therman calls for some appetizers and more wine and ale, and listens to any background and tales you tell him. He nods his head and smiles, and Edith politely sits listening. They seem like very nice old people, albeit rich old people. But if you didn't hear it from others, you wouldn't think they were any different than all of you. You can tell them as much or little as you like. If you want to tell them anything specific, just let me know what it is. Otherwise, when you are done, Melvin smiles warmly and says "Seedius was right. You are all brave, capable men of honor. As I mentioned, I have a concern... NO. A problem, and I am looking for some help."
You can ask questions, backup, etc. Just let me know. Otherwise, let me know how you'd all like to proceed.
