The following day, the caravan reaches another small settlement, this one named Fireshallow. Although nowhere near as large as Firstwal, it is large enough for the caravan to stop and rest and resupply. However, it is worth noting that three of the wagons decide to break off from the caravan here--the three cultists' wagons, in fact. Instead, they head for a warehouse on the northern side of town, without goodbyes. Nobody in the caravan is particular unhappy to see them go.
==============
It is Fleurgreen 14th, at High Watch.

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 43/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: Yes " Soooo..." - Chantilly starts with a jaunty tone, as she trots along her two employers. - " What are our plans for today? If you don't have anything planned and you don't need me around, I'd like to visit this little town!"

"That's fine," Noohar says. "I'll get us some rooms at the local inn for the night. Just stay out of trouble."

Quevalin - HP: 44\44 - Conditions: None - Active Effects: None
---------------
After the unfortunate episode with the Cult a day earlier, Quevalin (by now quite used to his own old name) has been on his toes for retalation; so when he sees the three wagons of the Cult leave the caravan, he is certainly relieved - maybe there's a chance for him to drop this whole charade, go back to being Henry and crack jokes and face his enemies head on. Still, he has to be sure so for the moment he just goes to Samardag and asks for a day off so that he might investigate the issue further. When Quevalin is, albeit temporarily, free from his duties as a caravan guard he starts walking quite conspicously so that his companions could see him and hopefully follow as soon as they're able, so that they could all talk about what to do next.

As Caelin and Mattias do not have jobs, they are the first to join Henry, as they do not need permission to do anything. They casually fall into step with him, as if they were just walking in the same direction as him.

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 43/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: Yes " Trouble? Me? I don't even know what that word means!" - Chantilly chirps before running away, joining the others. " So, today is the day we'll finally confront the bad guys, right?"

Benyt is the next one to join them, looking dour as usual. "What now?" she asks as they walk.

Quevalin, now that they are at a comfortable distance from curious ears, shrugs to Chantilly's words "Might be so. I saw them head towards a warehouse, north of here." he then turns to Benyt "It might be they're storing the goods they have stolen there, before transporting to their main base of operations. So before confronting them, I would say our best course of action would be to find more about this place, maybe even sneak inside it. Definitely don't like it, I'm tired of all this cloak and dagger - but our mission is certainly not to kill these cultists, but to find out what they're doing." he says with a deep sigh.

The party heads for the warehouse, and finds that the cultists' wagons have joined up with a different caravan, that seems to be in the process of hiring new guards and setting up to depart. They spot Jos, Fenn and several other cultists speaking with a man who seems to be in charge. He shakes Jos's hand, and says, "Glad to have you aboard." The cultists then depart, heading for a local inn, while the man remains and oversees the work around him.

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 43/43 - AC: 17 - Perception: 17 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: Yes " Oh yes! A bit of sneakery sneaky action, oh how I missed it so! I wonder what we will find inside the warehouse, and I can't wait to find out!" Edit: Once she takes a glance at Jamna, Chantilly mumbles for a few seconds before loudly clearing her throat: " If someone wanted to join us in our little stroll, they could just ask! The more the merrier!" - she says aloud.

"So the suspect they are being followed, and are moving to a different caravan," Eliana says softly. "We have a couple of options. "We can join up with the new caravan, which would only confirm their suspicions, we can ask that an where the caravan is heading, we could follow them discreetly, or we can try to convince our caravan to join up with this one," she says.

Caelin being so distant, and Sharq becoming more and more aware of his age... he become more depressed and omenouse then ever been. He still drinking,but in less jolly manner
"The dogs are whining. Bad omen." Sharq say. He think."We can sniff to know where the next caravan is heading- it will be useful information anyway. I guess follow them from the shadows... might be less dangerouse"

There is no response to Chantilly's call, although several passersby turn and look at her strangely before moving on with their day.

"But our mission is not to follow the caravan - it's to discover where they're headed." Quevalin whispers to the others, so that just his companions could hear him "In that warehouse we might find a clue that could tell us where the Cult is hiding the stolen riches of Solamnia so that we might head there without having to follow the caravan. Before painting a target on our back by joining the new caravan or spending weeks hiding while following it, we could just take a peek at that warehouse."

"I can distract that guy for a bit, if someone else wants to sneak over to a window and peak in," Benyt offers.
