She smiles and nods back at the halfling as she leaves his store and heads back to her room to better organize for the long journey.
Sādhanā reaches into her belt pouch and pays for the two swords. "I got this Drago."
Drago closed his eyes and envisioned the blade, he couldn't help but get the feeling he'd seen it before. "I was thinking something like this." Picking up a piece of parchment and charcoal, he drew the weapon's likeness.
Kierk looks at the drawing. "What did ye want t' use fer it?"
"I...I just feel that this would be a better blade for me in the long run. If anyone can craft it, you could Kierk. I have complete faith in your skills."

"I'd like to see if you had an item capable of healing Drago. He isn't the most hardy of us and on more than one occasion has come close to dying." Cyna replies.
"Ah, so a wand of Inflict Light Wounds? I may have a used one here with about 30 or so charges or did you need a new one?" Michael asks.
"30 Should cover us for the mission after that he should be able to acquire his own." I hope. Cyna says.
Michael nods. "Just a moment then."
He heads to a giant wooden cabinet in his study and opens it. Wands line the doors and the shelves within. Clicking his tongue, he glances and points. Finally, he produces a thin black wand, depictions of agony embossed in gold upon the handle.
"Here you are," Michael says. "It'd be four hundred and fifty gold."
Ylrhea quickly counts out her coins, hands them to Michael and takes the wand. She hands it over to Cyna. "I guess you owe me a few dinners, Captain."
Cyna gives her little friend a big smile and says "Deal, Thank you. And you as well Michael, I hope we don't have to use it too much."
"Be safe, ladies," Michael says with a sincere smile.
Sienna stretches, her small wings sticking out as she arches her back. "Let's go find Mr. Dhampir and give him his stick. They said they were heading to Kierk's."
"Sure. You think he's getting into trouble again?" Cyna asks.
"After what Niccolo did...even if it was the right thing...I'm pretty sure all dhampirs get into trouble sooner rather than later," Sienna answers.
Cyna nods in agreement as the trio make their way across town. "I think your clothes should be just about ready today." Cyna says.
"Is Arista the only one who can use this wand?" She asks.
"I think so," Sienna says in reply. "I wonder how those pants will look..."
As she's walking she suddenly remembers something and heads back to the shop. What is wrong with me? I've been so forgetful lately, am I becoming ill or something....it's probably just the excitement and stress of everything going on, that's all.
Going back inside the store she shakes her head, "Sorry to bother you again, but I seem to have forgotten something."
Going over to the shelf with the soaps she picks up two more 1/2 lb. blocks of Jasmine soap, "I really think that should do it this time." Handing him a silver she thanks him and heads over to Asha's shop.
Walking in she greets Asha and Priya, "Good morning ladies, the air seems to have a slight chill to it today doesn't it?"
"Yes," Asha answers. "Not something we are used to, seeing our homeland is a bit warmer year round. Is there something we can get for you?"
She nods, "Yes, I'm sure the weather is quite different here. We are going to be leaving soon and headed into the mountains northwest of here and I am in need of some warmer clothing items. I was thinking another warm long sleeve shirt to go with my other pair of leather breeches, and one to go with the burgundy wool skirt you picked out for me. Also, do you think I should get some warmer boots as well, or will the ones I purchased before do alright?"
"The boots should suffice, provided there isn't deep snow where you're going," Asha answers. "What colored shirts would you like?"
Putting a hand up to her face she taps her cheek with a finger in a thoughtful manner, "Well...I think maybe a deep yellow or gold for the skirt, and perhaps a dark red for the breeches? I was also needing a...kind of...supportive device for...ya know..these?" She discreetly gestures to her breasts while blushing.
Asha nods understandingly and finds a thicker, gold shirt with sleeves that come to the forearm, a crimson shirt that ends in frilled sleeves at the wrist, and two brassiere and pantie sets in black and red. "That will be five gold. I see you so often that I'm sure I know your size."
Arista blushes again as she takes out the gold and hands it to Asha, "I just wanted to tell you how much I absolutely loved the wedding dress you made me. It was more than beautiful, and I think Alethiro nearly fainted when he saw me in it. The whole effect was just....amazing. I look forward to seeing you when we get back from this journey. May Sarenrae Bless you all, and keep your path lit." She smiles warmly at them before leaving with her purchases.

"May she bless yours as well," Asha says with a smile that seems to radiate a motherly happiness and worry.
She stops at the door before walking out, and after a seconds hesitation she turns around and goes to Asha to give her a hug. "Thank you so much.....for everything." Wiping her eyes she hurries back out of the shop and heads for her room in the fort.
Once there she quickly changes into the black brassier and panties before putting her clothes back on.
Putting the rest of what she needs into the bag of holding, she leaves it by the door of her room. Strapping on her scimitar, she grabs her heavy steel shield and makes haste to see Kierk at the mines.
Seeing the dwarf seemingly overwhelmed by everything she tries to wait for a moment when he isn't quite so busy. After a few minutes she approaches him, "Good day to you Kierk...I'm sure you're very busy, but I was wondering if I could ask something of you? I was wondering if you would be able to sharpen my scimitar for me and get her lookin a little more shiny. I also need this shield worked on a little bit. It has a few dings in it, and I need it in top shape for what lies ahead. Do you think you could have time to do that for me?"
"Ah've got some fresh apprentices, seems like. Ah'll have them take care of ye," Kierk tells Arista. Two of the apprentices take Arista's gear and begin working on them.
She nods her head, "That'll be fine, thank you."
"Hello Arista. Get everything taken care of?"
Looking at Drago she smiles, "Yes, mostly anyways."
Looking back at Kierk, "What metals do you have available?"
Sādhanā flashes Arista a grin as she hands over her sword and shield.
"Well, Ah have iron handy, s' steel's plentiful. A bit o' cold iron, a little less silver. Nuthin' exotic tho'," the dwarf answers.
Better than the robe and probably easier to move in too. Cyna says.
Sienna nods. "Yeah, I don't need to slow us down."
Drago thinks for a moment, "Do you have enough silver to make a long blade?" He inquired.
"That could be useful." Sādhanā muses.
