"Alright, let's be about our business. I still hope to leave quickly. We want to be back when the elves return. Meet back here once you have secured our needs. I have someone I need to talk to." He slaps his hand down on the table to emphasize his point, then heads to the door. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Gerrard heads straight to Bill and Layla's home. He had two things to discuss with his foster-father and the second had needed to wait until Aunt Layla was at work. He waves at Bill as he approaches the stoop, and sits on the bench beside him. "Uncle Bill, I have two favors to ask of you. One that needs doing right now, the other while we are away. The first is important to keep between ourselves, because Aunt Layla would not approve. But if we are to be successful on this journey, we need a breaker. You know, someone who is good with locks and traps and the like. I suspect you can find someone like that? Anyway, send them to the Blue Bird if you find someone." He smiles and gives Old Bill a knowing wink. "And we both know Aunt Layla won't like me or you "conspiring with that sort"...
"Also, I need you to find Passara Zonara while I'm gone. Don't bother her, but locate her. If she's as private as they say, we'll need to be careful we don't scare her farther underground. Now, I better get back to the Blue Bird before my priest get's impatient and leaves. I'll be home for supper before we, hopefully, leave tomorrow."

Hunner laugh. "He does sound quite the lad!' But Skirr internly panicking. Zeboim and her priests were crazy. What in Takhisis's name has he thought? He should minimize his journeys in sea! "I must admit I didn't had such problems as youth. I was quite the impressionable youth, but not a firstborn, there were no benefit in marrying me. And yet, my lovely Parpilia has chosen me." He looked somberly at the waves. "....She had everything,and I had only my smile and bravery. And without my bravery... how can I dare and face her?"

Krixus nods and listens to his companions. "Nonna - please direct me to where I may find adventuring type of holy men and where I may purchase mules and a cart."

Old Bill's Place"I know of a few that might be what you're looking for," Old Bill replies. "I'll seek them out, and if they're willing, I'll send 'em your way. You can pick out the best of 'em."
At Gerrard's second request, Old Bill scratches his chin and looks thoughtful. "Zonara, eh? Never heard of her. So she probably doesn't hang around the docks. I'll see what I can find out for you, though."
Blue Bird Inn"The Temple District for the first one, and the Merchant District for the second," Nonna answers. "Specifically, you might try Tullian's Goods. He'll deal with anyone who has the coin, regardless of who they are or where they come from."

"You sound like you are lucky, but I'm not sure I know what you mean," Ravarie says questioningly to Hunner. "Are you saying you can't face her now, or are you saying you won't be able to face her later?" she asks.

"Thank you, Uncle.", Gerrard says as he quickly embraces the old man. "I'll head back to the Blue Bird and await your selections."

Old Bill returns the hug. "Just be careful out there," he says, patting him on the back. "Layla and I just got you back into our lives, after all."

"Not until... I regained my honor.' He said quitly.

"How very... Solamnic" Rathis responded. "And What deed could be so great as to restore the very concept of one's nobility and true accord to a personal code to oneself?"

Ravarie is curious as to the answer to that question herself, so she remains quiet. Hunner going with her to Silvanesti is a nice thing to do, but she isn't sure it is going to help him regain his honor.

"I am not sure.' Hunner admit. "Maybe if I'll face similiar test of courage to the one I have failed.. maybe then, if I succedd...' he say unsure.

Gerrard smiles, "I will, Uncle. And I'll be coming back a wealthy man. Then we will see what we can do about Aunt Layla having to work." He leaves with a wink and returns to the Blue Bird by the shortest path.

"...What happened last time?" Ravarie asks curiously.

When Gerrard returns to the inn, he finds that Krixus has departed to complete his tasks, although Grognak remains, sniffing around the common room with boredom. Nonna approaches him. "I've managed to find two candidates for your cleric. Well, three, but one of them hasn't arrived yet," she tells him, gesturing to a pair of women at one table--one human, one elven. The former wears the colors of Kiri-Jolith, the latter the colors of Paladine. "Which one did you want to meet with first?"

Skirr inside has gulped. He wanted to avoid it... but the sea has some... heart opening aura. And he will have to face Hunner's wife someday. So he better reharse. "I am not allowed to give the full details... but, I and my brothers in arms, were sent to make a secret garrison against a force of the dragonarmies.' Hunner said carefully, looking at the waves, his eyes darkening, and as a warding child's toy, he wore his helmet. "...But maybe we knights not very clever in secrecy, because soon enough we were poisoned, and our garrison overan." He covered his face with his cold bitten hands. "And... in the face of danger, when the real knights fell one by one, who to the poison, and who to the blades of evil... I ran. I ran like a doe from a pack of wolves. I don't know why this battles of all battles, I was broken."
