"I was asked to make sure you knew not to break the seal until after you had spoken with Old Konik, his lordship's steward. Konik is familiar with the process, and won't ask you to open it until after he's told you as much as he can. There is at least one request in the scroll from Lord Vom, I'm sure, and Konik may have his own difficulties with which he might need assistance. If anything Konik is dealing with requires any secrecy, for some reason, he won't share the details until you've opened the seal. However, I'm certain he'll give you a general notion of the risks involved.. probably a bit exaggerated, if I know him." He smiles somewhat wryly.

"I'm glad to see that you're as cautious and thoughtful as Lord Vom felt you were. It bodes well for your success."

"Then we shall take the scroll, seal unbroken, to Vom, present it to Old Konik, and discuss with him in great detail exactly what he requires."

She turns to walk away, but pauses...

"Thank you for your time, Master Decken."

Then Caby pointedly looks at Jaral, then looks down at his share of the platinum dragons, and then back up at him and raises an eyebrow.

"You're quite welcome. One more thing. You should know that when the Countess mentions the Brass Raven, she's referring to the house airship of the Borutaus. There is a dock on the great tower of Castle Bors."

Jaral pockets the coins. "These will go back to the tavern as well. No reason to let it fail because I'm otherwise engaged."

His eyebrows pull together in concern. "I'm still not comfortable that we are beholden to this quest once we break the seal. What happens if we are unable to complete this task, or unwilling? Why force this bond upon us when we have already demonstrated good will toward the people of Vom? I'll hear what this 'Konik' has to say before I agree to be present when that seal is broken. If I required this kind of oath from my employees, I'd be running the tavern by myself..."

As they are walking away...

"Uncle, you worry enough for the lot of us, so I'll refrain from doing so at this time."

"And what kind of business do you run that you must constantly inject it with funds from your own pocket? Has it not the ability to stay afloat on its own accord? You should consider hiring a second bookkeeper to look over the shoulder of the first if such is the case!"

Jaral laughs, "I emptied the till on my way out of town - robbing my own tavern was the quickest way to fund my little expedition! I guess I didn't share that portion of my journey, did I?"

Caby raises her eyebrows in surprise.

"No, you didn't mention that part! I'm sorry my mother put you in such a position, Uncle." She shakes her head. "I don't expect I'll be free of her worrying ways any time soon, will I?"

"Your mother isn't what I would call "old". Neither is your father, as far as that goes. They probably have a fews years of worry left in them." Jaral gives Caby a brief hug, then self-consciously busies himself checking his gear.

As they are walking back to the inn, Caby sighs and says, "Ok, Uncle... you win. Let's stop by the bank and you can show me how to set up an account to save some money. I'll start with these five dragons."

Ummm... I suppose we're going to make our way to the House K bank to set up a (passbook) savings account for Caby.

OOC: Anyone else remember the passbook savings account, where the teller actually wrote the new balance after a deposit in pencil or pen in your little book? I loved my first savings account...

Finora, in an effort to help you put your swordarm to use, the Elgenland family has suggested you go into town and speak with one of the retainers of a displaced local lord. The man, named Decken, indeed has an idea for you. He asks you to find a group of adventurers who he believes are about to set out on a task where they could use your help. He takes you to a window, and points out the group, at least two of whom are heading into the bank. "You should be able to catch them there, if you hurry."

Caby enters the bank and approaches a likely person about opening a savings account. She'll open it with her 5 platinum coins, if that is possible.

Though Finora might not remember who she is, she still has her instincts. There's something she doesn't like about this Decken character...something she doesn't trust. Misgivings aside, though, she figures she'll be safe enough in town to go talk to the party of adventurers that he has recommended for her. Maybe they will be more trustworthy than their employer.

She leaves Decken's office and carefully crosses the street, dodging a man and horse who were apparently in too much of a hurry to stop for pedestrians. She reaches the front of the bank, but decides to wait outside and approach them as they come out, rather than interrupt them as they conduct their business inside. She leans against the building, watching the villagers pass her by.

Struck by an unusual sense of nostalgia (unusual because, as far as she knows, she's never set up a savings account before), Caby leaves the bank, feeling a bit "older".

As they're walking out the door, Caby turns her head to Jarral and says, "Happy?"

[I would generally just let you guys run the interaction on your own, but just in case Smile ]

Finora, you see the group he pointed out, two halflings, a man and a dog, walk out of the bank.

(Thanks for the cue! Although I thought the old joke went, "Two halflings, a man, and a dog walk into a bar..."?)

"So do you trust him?" The party turns to see Finora leaning against the wall behind them. "Decken, I mean."

Caby, caught by surprise at being addressed out of the blue, stops in mid-stride and looks up at the armed and armoured woman who spoke.

She looks over her shoulder to make sure there isn't anyone else around who the woman might have been talking to and, seeing nobody else, turns back.

"Sorry, but were you speaking to us? Do we trust Decken?"

Through half-closed eyes, Caby peers curiously at the woman.

"Why do you want to know?"

"My name is Finora the Wolf Slayer. And I ask because Decken suggested I speak with you, to see if you might need an extra blade in your travels." Finora shifts her weight out. "This is the first time I've dealt with the man and, well, I like to know who I'm working for."

Jaral tries to clap Duckets on the shoulder, stretching to reach the extra height. "You know, good man, I like you! Let's have some ale after we finish this new business."

As the group leaves the bank he answers Caby, "I surely am happy, and you will be happy as well when you've had enough of adventuring and are ready to settle into a home."

Jaral slips his hand toward the pommel of his short sword during the exchange between Caby and Finora, but he relaxes a bit when this newest human provides some details. Anyone a bit cautious in regards to their upcoming contract is okay in his book - at least right now.

Without breaking a stride in conversation, Caby leans in to Jaral and says, "Maybe, just maybe, Uncle, one day you will come to realize it takes more than a fat account and a safe home to make some people truly happy. For instance, helping others makes me happy."

Then she smiles up at Finora and says, "Well met, Finora. My name is Caby. This is Jaral and Ducats. And the puppy's name is Cash." She pauses in contemplative thought. "I don't know how much we trust Decken just yet, but I think his boss, Lord Vom, has so far done nothing to indicate he has anything but good intentions. But I tend to give the benefit of the doubt and consider most to be fair until they prove otherwise."

"Very nice to meet you all," Finora squats down to let the dog smell her hand "especially you, Cash." She stands again, letting her tough facade drop momentarily. "I'm sorry for my hesitation, I...I just don't know who is friend or foe anymore." She offers a slight smile. "However, if you say Decken appears to be working for a good man, this Lord Vom, then perhaps I can put some faith in his words as well. If you'll have me, I'd like to come along on your journey as Decken suggested. I'm looking to explore this region, as well as shake out some old cobwebs from my bones." She pulls on the sleeve of her chainmail shirt, ensuring the tattoos on her wrist are well covered, even though they were already sufficiently hidden from view.

"As I said, I tend to give the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise! You are welcome to join us, Finora. I think we are planning on heading back up to Vom tomorrow, if everyone has their affairs in order. Not sure how you feel about riding a draft horse, Finora, but if it bothers you not, we have one at the ready!"
