Iroas opens his coin pouch, and finds he only has six silver pieces total. Ah, yes, he remembers. He hadn't found any coin so far since arriving in Dessarin Valley, and the Belabranta family never paid him for finding Savra, obviously. So it looked like he could have a bath or a room, but not both. "Then again...I think I'll just take the room. It has a wash basin, I assume?"

Migor think to give an illusoinary money but just nod with his human friend/boss. "A room. Yess."

The man nods. "Yes, so you could wash if you took the time to bring up your own water--or cast a spell, I suppose. The room without the bath is only only 3 silver."

Iroas will hand over his final six silver, one room for him and one for Savra. If Migor is unable to afford his own room, then it looks like the boys will have to share then.

The party rests up, and recovers from their wounds as they do. The next morning, they find the Watchful Knight filled with customers--the breakfast crowd, perhaps.
"We need to come up with our next move," Savra says. "I was thinking--if the Sacred Stone Monks worship the earth, and the Feathergale Knights are trying to do something with the Elemental Air...do you think there are groups here that revere water, or fire?"

"Yes, I believe Migor has mentioned a fire cult in the past," Iroas says. "But for our next move, we need to earn some coin. I'm completely broke now."

"So...look for jobs around town?" she suggests. "I expect they have something for upstart adventurers like us."
"Adventurers, you say??" loudly declares a Halfling, who jumps up from the table next door, startling Savra. "I happen to have heard word of a gang of spurrelious, dastardly bandits holed up south of here!! I will hire you for 20 gold pieces to take care of them, and you may take all of their ill-gotten loot for yourselves!!"
"Is that...allowed?" Savra wonders.
"Indeed!! Standard adventuring procedure!! I assure you!!" he declares.

"What can you tell us about these bandits?" Iroas asks. "Do you know anything about their numbers, defenses, or hideout? And who are you, and why do you want them gone?"

"There are four of them, in a makeshift camp in front of a cave entrance!! They prefer ranged weapons, and have captured a bear!! And I'm Killi Hut-hut!! Resident adventure finder!!" he answers, bowing. "The town lives and dies on the business of adventurers!! It's my job to scope out suitable jobs and pass them over to up-and-coming adventurers like you!!"

"Alright, alright," Iroas says, holding up a hand. "We'll accept the job. Just please stop shouting."

"You got it!!" he shouts. He then backs away slowly, keeping his eyes trained on the three. Savra shudders.
"Do we...uh...head out now?" she asks.

Iroas clears his throat. "Yes, I think that would be best," he agrees, disturbed.

The journey to the cave is short, about an hour. Just as Killi mentioned, they are stationed in a makeshift camp by a cave entrance, and carry mostly bows. The jury is still out on the bear.
"All right. Do we try and sneak up, or attack outright?" Savra asks.

"I favor stealth," Iroas answers. "They outnumber us, have bows, and possibly have a bear, so we need to approach this carefully. Any ideas? My armor will likely give me away if I try to get closer, but I can offer ranged support from here, or perhaps serve as a distraction so you two can get closer."
