"I think it would be wise to rest for the night, then descent into the cogs in the morning. I do not know how much endurance any of you have, but I know I have already expended a considerable portion of my magical energy , and I would prefer us to be at full power before descending into the cogs. Unless...unless either of you suspect a time pressure on this mission?"
"Nah, the cogs probably isn't the best place to go at this hour."
"Very well, I shall retire to my room."
"One thing- some of my gear is very heavy and will not be of use witihn the cogs, I suggest we keep one of the rooms for, say a week, and use it to store non-adventure essential gear so as to keep it safe but not have to lug it around with us. Do you all agree?"
best to just continue without him. i am sure the thorn will reappear in our path.
Xov awoke early in the morning, yawning, he thought
All right, play-time is over. We'll get supplies, find crazy-mouth, then go down to the cogs and find an astrolabe. Well, I guess I could just ask Lady Gwen where Essar is, since it is morning and it will be time to report in in a few minutes...
Xov waited silently in his room for the usual time for Gwen to contact him...
Essar finishedreading for the night and dropped in at a local inn run by the house of hospitality. He looked at the clerk Simply looking for a cot for the night, the cost?.

Gwen contacts you. "What is this I hear about you killing a member of House Deneith?" she asks. "Better yet, I know you did it or was an accessory to the killing. Because, I saw the whole thing. Be aware, House Denieth isn't a house to be trifled with. Especially the Sharn Enclave."
I would advise you to remember that you speak to a blood cleric, show some respect or you will understand why the thranians tell their children stories about us to keep them obediant...

"May I remind you where you are!" the Halfling turned serious for a moment. "This is a house Gallandra Inn. You do realize that we keep tabs on all our customers, even new ones from Karrnath that haven't been acclimatized from their army days. YET! Now, do you want my straw pallet that is ridden with bedbugs or don't you?"
What the group didn't know was that something else was scrying them. In the plane of Dal Quor, the Quori was watching the group silently. After the Shifter Othan had killed one of their Denieth empty vessels, they've begun to watch the group closely and silently. Perhaps they were becoming a threat. To the Dreaming Dark.
Essar gathered his will into his voice
And may I remind you halfling that if I choose to do it that I can provide healing on the cheap, my services are the equal of a House Jorasco adept and can be yours. Furthermore I am quite certain that your competitors will want my gold and give me less lip.

As Danir awakens for the day, he packs up his lab and other tools and prepares for the trip down to the Cogs, also taking the time to clear his mind and meditate, focusing the magical energy within and without him, crating loose weaves of magical energy that he can later focus and tighten when placing them into objects.
Before heading downstairs, he goes and knocks on Xov's door, seeing if the strange elf and the shifter might be inclined to pay him back for the cost of their rooms but also if they might be interested in helping him pay to keep one of the rooms as a means of safe storage of some of their gear, the sort of stuff you wouldn't want or need to take with you into the underground below Sharn.
How much does this establishment charge a night Danir?
"5 Galifars per night for one of these suites Othan, or perhaps they have safe storage boxes of some sort."
Othan digs around in his pockets, until he finds a 5 galifar piece which he hands to Danir. we can work out any long-term costs later.
essar walked through the city until he found what he was looking for a run down and abandoned house. He went in to investigate it and see if it would be a good holdout fo the night.

Essar slept on the floor of one of the rooms. He woke up just after dawn and scurried from the house he needed to find some gear. He made a beeline towards the House Jorasco enclave.
"Very well, I shall remain alert." Xov paused in thought for a moment, before calmly asking
"Where can I find Essar?"
He would need a full team before descending into the cogs, and the deranged cleric was probably their best weapon against undead.
Essar made it to the Jorasco Enclave and looked around for the Jorasco equivelant of a G.M.S.D (General Medical Supply Depot, found in all karnathi towns).
"Thank you, my lady." Xov opened his eyes, and uncovered his mouth. He quickly gathered his things before walking out of his room to see Danir and Othan.
"Good morning to the two of you...Danir, how much were the rooms? 5 Galifers? Anyways, we should probably get supplies quickly and then go...also, I just found out where Essar is, so I'll go collect him, since he could be among our best weapons against undead...
by the way,"
Xov lowered his voice, narrowing his eyes at Othan,
"House Deinith is probably on our trail. Even if what Othan did was self-defense, that might not stop them from striking at us in secret. It probably won't be anything huge, just keep an eye out for assassins and stuff."
Essar walked over to the halfling and asked what medical supplies and and kits do you have?
After the others have prepared themselves for their adventure, Danir goes down to the front desk and inquires if they have a secure storage area where he can store his gear while he is gone.
Having alerted his comrades of his plans, Xov set off to find Essar. Let's see where that load of work has gotten himself to...
Wait, what am I doing here? This is a waste of time, my lead on Essar's location is vanishing, and I still need supplies.
Xov will continue searching for Essar .
"Pardon me, do you happen to have a safe storage room here?"
"Hello Essar, stocking up on supplies, I see? Good. We're meeting up again in two hours...except for Kyndril, he's not coming. Hurry, the life of a friend of yours is at stake."
Essar looked at the drow with annoyance. Drow how did you know I was at this enclave? And who is this "friend"?

Xov smiled. The human was as pleasant as ever...
"Knowing stuff comes naturally to me. It concerns someone who purported to have fought with you in the War.... I saved his life in that tavern brawl you started. I'll be able to explain better when we meet up later."
Ebran looks about, takes off his pack, moves things around so it is more comfortable and balanced, and generally fidgets with his gear. He is eager to depart.
Halfling I need a medical kit and a surgeons kit, price?
Danir looks for a safe capable of holding his Alchemical Lab and smithing tools, and then finding one asks "What is the rate on this safe please?"
Halfling I said a surgeons kit, not a Chirurgeon's. I would buy the chirurgeon kit if I was fighting in a war against thrane. There is sadly for both of us no war going on, I simply need a surgeons kit it should contain a set of scalpels, surgical knives and some variety of anesthetic. Not the full alchemical setup from a Chirurgeons, unless we can come to a better price or an arrangement...
