"Wait...really?" - Poppy says, not really expecting an actual answer. - "Could you describe her to me? At least, what you remember of her."

"Gorgeous," Krest replied. "With a body that just wouldn't quit..." He stares off in the distance dreamily, then snaps out of it and looks embarrassed. "Uh, I mean...ahem. She was elven, I think. Dark hair. Black as the night. Fair skin. Blue or...maybe green eyes? Sorry, it was a long time ago."

"Did he say anything to you?" Kalinda asks.

"Uh...not really, no. Pretty much all business," Porate answers. "Came in, made his order, paid and left."

"So that means he didn't say where he was going," Kalinda says with a sigh. "Well, thanks anyway. Though, where could he have gotten with a weeks worth of rations?" she asks.

"No, no! Don't be sorry, it was interesting. And the coffee was good too!" - Poppy says, raising her cup. - "So, beside weird travelers with even weirder tattoos. Did something interesting happened here recently?" - she asks, while waiting for the others to come back.

"So that means he didn't say where he was going," Kalinda says with a sigh. "Well, thanks anyway. Though, where could he have gotten with a weeks worth of rations?" she asks. The merchant gives a shrug. "Depends on what direction he went, and what method of travel he used." "No, no! Don't be sorry, it was interesting. And the coffee was good too!" - Poppy says, raising her cup. - "So, beside weird travelers with even weirder tattoos. Did something interesting happened here recently?" - she asks, while waiting for the others to come back. "Not especially," Krest replies. "Lots of rumors coming in, though. Talk of war all around. Even among Elonnori. I worry dark times are ahead of us."

"I believe your worries may be accurate, sadly." - Poppy says with a sigh, before standing up. - "Well, thanks for the nice chat, Krest. I'll go catching some rest, Starbuck are you coming?" - she asks the halfling, before going to her room.

"I hear he went south," Kalinda says. "I think that is what the innkeep said."

I'll go catching some rest, Starbuck are you coming?" - she asks the halfling, before going to her room. "I'll be up soon, I just need...three or four more coffees to go," Starbuck replies. "I hear he went south," Kalinda says. "I think that is what the innkeep said." "South? Well, assuming he stuck to the Fey Eye, he could probably get as far as Paradise before needing to resupply," Porate answers.

"Well, that is something at least," Kalinda says. "Thanks," she adds before she heads back to the inn to report what she heard to the others.

April gets excited when Kalinda returns with her information. "So we're on the right track!" she says. "We'll have to keep following him until he stops for longer--it's too bad we can't really move faster than him, but he'll eventually get complacent and stop moving," she rattles off, momentarily forgetting about their mission in Long Beach. "And then--we strike."

"While chasing him is probably important, we have more important things to worry about such as our trip to Long Beach," Kalinda points out.

Poppy was on the stairs when she heard the exchange between Kalinda and April. Although the prospect of following the dwarf's traces was alluring, if she wanted to make a good impression on Crane bailing on her first mission wasn't probably the best idea. She joins the other two women and says: "Yes, Kalinda is right. Our mission is our priority right now. We should prepare and rest, so we can leave first thing in the morning."

"We are sharing rooms, by the way," Kalinda says as she heads to one of the said rooms.
