She shrugs, "Like I said, I'm not really sure of the significance...but, it can't be anything good. Not really sure what we can do about it though. I guess we'll have to go talk to people again."
"Perhaps we should start with Master Spellshard," Christophe suggests.
Nodding she says, "That's a good idea, maybe he will be able to tell us something. Go ahead and lead the way Chris."

With Renard at his side, he sets off toward the dwarf's shop.
Shrugging and checking her weapons Anyka walks along.

Smirking slightly Gashka checks her weapons as well. Looking at her fists she says, "They seem to be in working order." She had to do something to break up the levity of the moment. They had been through too much and now more than ever they need to find things to laugh at, or they'd all go insane.
Well might as well go as well.
Terra leaps from the ships railing toward the pier.
and she makes a near perfect landing on the pier. She then heads off to catch up with the others.
"I hope so. We'll need them." Flynt says putting his arm around Terra when she catches up.
Tikkle pulls the rapier hilt from his pocket and touches the rune near the crosshilt. The glowing blade shoots forth and Tikkle smiles. He says to himself an old Orcish phrase he'd learned from a crewman.
"Hegugmech QAQ Jajvam."
He ran to catch up with the others.

With Chris in the lead, the group went straight to the Dwarf's shop. Entering the establishment, it looked exactly the same as the last time, maybe slightly more organized.
Hearing the bell, the Dwarf walked in from the back. "Ho there, back again I see, what can I do for you this time Lad? And I see you brought friends."
She waves, "Hey....just out of curiosity, did anything strange happen here while we were gone? It might be nothing but when we saw your star thingy wasn't shining anymore, we thought we'd ask some questions." She watches him to see if he's hiding anything.

"Oh that? The Star goes out about every three hundred years or so. It'll light right back up in about a week, give or take." Choztu says without any hint of deception.
"I'm not an expert on astrology or anything. But do stars normally do that?"
"Regular stars no, but the Polaris Star is that giant crystalline structure above the city. And that isn't a regular star now is it?" Choztu responded.
"Nevermind."
The Dwarf looked at the quivers the young man carried. "You know, having two of those isn't necessarily efficient. I could modify one for you, for a modest price of course."
"Modify how?" Flynt asks raising an eyebrow.
She shrugs, "Okay, so does anything strange happen when it goes out? I'm just askin' cuz the place seems a bit more.....subdued from when we left."

Turning to Gashka, "It just seems that way because it doesn't seem as bright. As I said, don't worry."
Looking back to Flynt, the Dwarf crossed his arms, "That depends. What do you favor, Earth, Air, Fire, or Water?"
"No heart? Nevermind. I'd like to think I'm cool and I go with the flow. So water. Why?"
She just shrugs and shakes her head, "Okay got it, no big deal so whatever."

Looking at the Half-Orc again, "Well, I wouldn't say that. Geoffry doesn't like having to light the old lighthouse while it's out."
Then the Dwarf put out his hand to Flynt and said, "Give me one of those quivers and, let's say one thousand gold, or the equivalent of, and I'll make it so it produces ten frost arrows a day for you. Deal?"
"You can do that? Alright, I'll be back when I have the cash. I think we should check out the lighthouse ourselves."
"Sure, why not?"

Terra looks to Flint as he places his order, she starts shaping some stones into what look like arrows of rock. she then fiddles with them for a a bit, then tarts making other shapes with the earth.
She stops and looks around for a minute, "So.....where's this lighthouse at?"
-Posted with Wayfinder
Looking at the Dwarf she sighs, "Could you tell us how to get to the lighthouse?" She asks as she takes a deep breath and tries to relax. She felt like they were being sent on a bunch of wild goose chases and she didn't like it.

"It seems to be a natural phenomenon, but I'd wager the nights get very dark without the star."

Shaking the daze out of his mind, Choztu answered, "Sorry Lass, got lost in thought. The Lighthouse, yes, head down to the docks, turn south, and just keep walking until you come to it. Can't miss it. And don't mind Geoffry, the old dog barks worse than he bites."
Turning to Jin, "That it does Lad, that it does."
She shakes her head, "That's alright. Who doesn't have stuff on their minds these days?" Turning she walks out of the store and heads for the lighthouse.

Flynt shrugs and follows the group.
Tikkle follows the group, munching on a sweetroll he had nicked.

The lighthouse was easy enough to find, and sitting on a stool by the front door, was a old with a pipe in his mouth. "Hey, whatcha doin' here?" He asked in a grumpy tone.
-Posted with Wayfinder
She shrugs, "Don't really know really. I think we're just here to check out any strangness with this thing. I don't really know exactly what we're looking for, but here the hell we are anyways. Have you noticed anything strange lately." Her tone would suggest a bit of irritation, but it doesn't seem to be aimed at anyone in particular.

Geoffry cocked his head to the side, then looked up at the lighthouse, "This thing? There ain't nothin' wrong with it. I'm just not lookin' forward to climbing those steps."
She sighs, "Okay....so the only problem is that you don't like climbing the stairs? So, what if one of us climbed them for you and lit the thing? Would that make things a little easier on ya?" Looking at the others she says, "I don't think there's any big deal about this star or the lighthouse. If he wants us to, we can light it for him and then go on whatever next wild goose chase that a@%@%%+ of the week, carver....piper....whoever the hells it is that keeps jerking us around, find them and kill the s@+# out of them. Sound like a plan?" Her voice takes on that edge again as she tries to control the rage she feels creeping up in her at the thought of the ambiguous murderous bastard that had been teasing them this whole time, seems to just continue to do as he pleases.

Chris shrugs. "Sounds fine to me."
