- The city guard start emptying out of the tavern as it's nearing their curfew
- T's Elven is still terrible. Luckily, Sharai also speaks Halfling.
- F buys a pitcher of ale and the girls go to hang out with a trio of dudes playing cards after all the guards leave
- They are playing Princess and Knaves
- The fellow with a forked beard, named Stephen, might actually own a building with some flats they could rent.
- The fat guy is named Rastus.
- The skinny guy's name is Bryce.
- Sharai also wants to know if there can be a cleaning lady who might come in and do the cleaning and look after their things
- There is some negotiation with Stephen. They settle on 22 GP per month including the cleaning lady with 3 months paid up front. The apartment is above the bakery on Silver Avenue.
- S isn't really sure she trusts Stephen, but T says she thinks he's telling the truth.
- FST head over to the apartment, it is clean, has a fireplace with a pot hook, and two smaller rooms (probably for bed rooms). The only furnishings are a table and two chairs.
- The girls spends their first night in their new abode, and "wake up" (literally for T and figuratively for the elves) to the smell of fresh baked bread
- S buys them some rolls to go with their conjured mush.
- FST head to the palace to see if there is some sort of job bored where they can see what's available
- They pass the Hornless Unicorn on their way. (a.k.a. The Horse)
- There's a nice garden out front and a big open entry way where there are guards looking somber and other people milling around as well
- F asks one of the guards where a trio of seasoned adventures could find some work, and he directs them to the captain of the guard
- They follow his directions through a door up a hallway to an office where a thin, wiry, dark-haired women wearing studded leather with the royal crest on the breastplate. Her name is Laticia Guiles.
- She asks if they can handle a difficult assignments, and tells them of some small dragons just north of the city running amok and killing people - The king wants them captured. 300GP total for the job plus 50 GP for each one they bring back alive. - There are known to be three of the creatures.
- S asks for a meeting with the court mage, Mistress Gisella Whiteborn, so that they can plan how to contain the captured creatures.
- The girls spend the rest of the day wandering around the market buying things for their apartment. They acquire: another chair for the table, two comfy chair for the elves to trance, a small bed for T, and some cookware. They also take the time to introduce themselves to the bakers downstairs and let them know that they are expecting a message from Captain Guiles.
- They go back to the Golden Crown (there are fewer people tonight), Stephen and his cronies are not there, but there is a man at the bar wearing a gray hood who is eyeing F. He gives her a hand signal that she recognizes that means he's looking for something or someone.
- F excuses herself and goes to sit at the bar one stool away from the stranger.
- He wants her to steal a magic wand from Mistress Whiteborn.
- F returns to the table and asks S's opinion of the matter - F cannot answer any of the questions that S wants to know because "That's not how thieves talk."
- F walks back over to him, and says she'll look into it, but she's not promising anything at this point, especially not without more information about the wand itself. She thinks he seems young and naive.
- F leads him to a table in the back corner and motions S & T over to continue the conversation
- She asks him why he wants the wand. He needs it to complete his trial for entry into the local "Guild"
- S asks if he can just bring them any wand. He's pretty sure the full members know what the wand looks like and does.
- S asks what his name is, but he doesn't want to say. "It's not important."
- T looks very grumpy about being asked to steal things. "No thief steal."
- F & S have a short discussion about the merits of stealing this wand, and decide it's probably not in their best interest.
- The unnamed thief says he'll come back the day after tomorrow to see if they've changed their minds.
- 2,700 XP ea. for 40,435 XP ea.
