"Fine...gear it is then."
"Not thrilled? What would you rather do tonight?" Cyna asks.

"Well, I was enjoying the talking," Sienna says with a shrug. "Besides, it's not that late yet. We could kill whatsisface, then relax."
The tailor takes the platinum piece and tilts his head to the side. "Aye, it'll be nice t' do something a bit more challenging. Ah usually don't get many customers, so Ah should have this done by th' mornin'."
"I have a feeling killing that bastard is something we want to be prepared for. Looking around the town could still be enjoyable. I don't know about you but I've never been in a dwarven city before." Sādhanā says finishing her meal.
"Me either. There's something interesting about underground cities," Sienna says.

"Nice place to visit, but I would miss the sunshine after a few days down here."
Sienna nods in agreement and heads toward the door. "Let's see if we can find the girls. Drago, do you want to come with us or stay here?"

She nods and bows at the Dwarf. Smiling she looks at him, "Thank you so much, it means alot to me. I'll be back tomorrow to pick up the garments." She walks out of the shop waving to the dwarf as she leaves.
Walking a bit more she sees the general store, "I should be able to find some supplies in there for Johann and his brother for their...'camping' trip. Let's go see what they have."
Walking into the shop she looks around for a bit before approaching the counter, "Good day to you, I need some supplies and was hoping you could help me. I'm going to need a medium tent, two ranger kits, two blankets, two fishing kits, two grooming kits, and a skillet. Do you have all these things, and how much do I owe you?"
The dwarf at the general store looks at Ylrhea and Arista for a moment, before counting on his fingers. "Ah...it'll be thirty-eight gold."
He starts gathering the requested items. "Ah guess it pays to keep this stuff in stock. We usually don't get travelers, but once in a blue moon..."
The gear is a little dusty, but in good shape.
Exiting the inn Sādhanā looks around at the marvel of construction around them. "So I guess they shouldn't be too hard to find."
Ylrhea crosses her arms. "I'd be afraid for you in a big city, Arista. You'd give the shirt off your back to anyone with a hard luck story. It's not a bad thing, but you're too innocent for your own good sometimes. Not like I have room to talk..."
Sādhanā, Cyna and Sienna see Arista and Ylrhea duck into the general store.
"You called it," laughs Sienna.
As the dwarf gathers her requested items she counts out the gold. Laying the 38 gold on the counter she turns to Ylrhea and shrugs, "Maybe....but serving Sarenrae is more to me than just lifting my sword in her name. It means helping others who need it...no matter who they are or where they come from. Maybe it's the new mommy in me talking, but I don't like the idea of sending those boys off into the wilderness without any supplies. Maybe I am innocent....but, I don't think that's really a bad thing. There's nothing wrong with caring about other people, or having other people care about you." Leaning down she wraps her arms around Ylhrea and gives her a big hug. "Know what I mean?"
Ylrhea hugs her back. "Yeah. Just don't leave us short-changed when we need to buy something to get rid of a bad guy. You could always open a soup kitchen in Valwick..."
She laughs softly, closes her eyes and gives Arista a big gnomish squeeze. "Too bad you're taken..."
"Honestly, Ylrhea...married women now?" Sienna asks sternly.
Ylrhea lets go of Arista and blushes. "I...W-when did you get here?!"
Sādhanā shakes her head at Sienna's ruthless teasing. "We finished eating and figured we'd walk around and see the city a bit. Sorry if we startled you."
Arista blushes slightly but then picks up Ylrhea and holds her to her, kissing her on the top of her head she says, "I love you Ylrhea, you're family to me and I care about you deeply. I just want you to be happy...I know that you've been hurt...badly, but...I also know that you have one of the biggest beautiful hearts of anyone I've ever known, and someday you'll find someone that will love you the way you deserve to be loved."
Seeing the others come in, she doesn't even seem ashamed of being found holding Ylrhea to her. She gently releases Ylrhea and sets her back down, "We're not startled, just talking. It's a nice town, there's even a blacksmith. We were gonna head there next if ya wanna come along."
Sienna shakes her head. "One of these days, 'Rhea, I'm gonna find you someone. A blacksmith seems to be a good next step. We were discussing about how deal with Jahlrem."
"Let me guess...you want me to sneak up behind him and stab him in the back?"
"How'd you know?"
"Because that's always your plan."
"You happen to be really good at it, knowing you're in the area when I'm facing someone put's a part of my mind at ease actually." Sādhanā says with a grin.
Arista laughs, "I was thinking about just taking his head off, but stabbing him in the back seems fitting for a traitor like him as well."
"Alright, alright," Ylrhea says, blushing.

Taking all of her purchases she stuffs them into the bag of holding before looking back at the others, "Alright, that's taken care of. Shall we go see the black smith then?" Arista goes to the door and opens it waiting for the others to follow her.
" Sure." Sādhanā says following Arista.
Once they all get to the black smith Arista goes to find the owner. Once she sees the dwarf she greets him, "Good day to you. I was wondering if I could purchase a dagger and short sword?"
Arista laughs, "I was thinking about just taking his head off, but stabbing him in the back seems fitting for a traitor like him as well."
That's how he killed Sersel.
"I wholeheartedly agree with that method." Cyna says, a little too cheerfully.
"If that fails we sling fire and arrows at him until his heart stops."
The dwarf nods, bringing out a polished short sword and dagger. "Twelve gold, ma'am."
Sienna notices the change in Cyna's tone. "Something wrong, sweetie?"
"He killed someone right in front of me that way, it's just a fitting end to see him fall the same." Cyna replies.

"Was it...was it someone you cared about?" Sienna asks softly. She tries to shove her jealousy down, her insecurities unimportant now. If Cyna needed comforting, that's what mattered most.

Sienna nods in agreement and heads toward the door. "Let's see if we can find the girls. Drago, do you want to come with us or stay here?"

"Certainly."
--------------------------------------------------------------
Drago pretty much stayed quiet. Upon reaching the blacksmith, Drago asked Sādhanā, "Do you think we should take a look at the training facilities?"
"Not like that but she was a friend. The first I'd made in a long time." Cyna answers.
Nodding at the Dwarf she hands him the money and smiles, "Thank you Sir, these will do quite well. Have a blessed day." She stows the weapons into her bag with the rest of the things she purchased before turning back to the others. "I should probably get these things to Johann and Gregor before we head out." She looks at Cyna, her expression quite serious, "Don't worry Cyna...we'll make him pay for what he did. He will learn the true meaning of the words retribution and Holy Vengeance."
"Sure, let's see what they have to offer. We'll see you a little later ok?" she says to the tohers before heading to the training area with Drago.
Sienna nods at Cyna. "Friends are a treasured thing...More valuable than gold..."

"That they are." Cyna says intertwining her fingers around Sienna's.
"Thank you."
"Always," Sienna says, giving Cyna's hand a squeeze.

Sadhana and Drago head to the barracks and find the training ground with no difficulty. The area is littered with training dummies and many weapon racks. A stout and scarred dwarf approaches the magus and sorcerer. "Afternoon, wot kin we do fer ye?"
"Afternoon. We were looking for a place to train, I'm helping my friend with his swordwork." Sādhanā addresses the grizzled dwarf.
The dwarf grins. "Never hurts t' train. Help yerself t' whatever we have."

The wizard pauses as he sees the bard, Jelks, arguing loudly with the ship's captain. "Oh dear..."
