Sean smiles at Mawby. "I pick up strays." Sean thanks Mawby for his
assistance with the sailors. He'll pay Mawby the 8gp, and then give him a
small stone (worth 100gp, minus fees, of course) and asks him to run a tab and
help get them such materials, tools, etc. as they need to make a go of it. He
half jokingly suggests they make a public urinal, to use the proceeds there
from for any tanning they need to do. He'll also ask Mawby if he's heard of
any shipwrecks or expeditions to what seems to be Goathumper's land grant,
showing him the spur. "Ahearn found this along the shore in and around where
the esteemed Lord Ambroz has been given land by virtue of his abilities at
sucking, no doubt. Just wondering who the next of kin might be, if there is
anything distinctive to the spurs." Sean is curious about Grisehild, but
leaves such matters to the extended family members. "Seriously though, I can
make a career out of rescuing people Ambroz leads to their demise." Sean then
asks Mawby about a cooper. "We are trying to set up the Cove as a place ships
can set in for supplies and repairs. Any idea where we can get a steady supply
of tar or pitch? We have a good shingle north of the settlement that would do
for recaulking, and, at the very least, with three rivers, plenty of fresh
water. Anyway, if you run across anyone looking for a place to live and
work..." Sean smiles.
Whether Sean will be ready to return to the Cove with Jethro depends on quite a
few things.
Armed with the torc, Sean heads to the Lord Mayor's residence.

Ophelia will tell Xander to be careful with the dragon. They are nastier than
people think. They often do have some good treasure, but they are really nasty.
Avoid their breath weapons. They also bite hard enough to kill most mages with
one or two bites. Ophelia can come up with a wall of stone spell for you to
copy. She will ask Wally how he is doing and will scold him to stay away from
the dragon even if his crazy master goes after the dragon. Dragons kill.
Ophelia will tell Xander how her sister was burned to a crisp by a nasty swamp
dragon about two decades ago. She was still a young apprentice. Her dad had to
tie her up so she didn't chase after the dragon to avenge her sister's death.
She finally gave up after a week or so. She rubs her wrists like she was
remembering the soreness from the bonds.
Nickalo will tell you he thinks the cheetah spots will probably fade over time.
Be careful, Nickalo does recall hearing of one druid who got permanently
changed into a duck. He did not see the druid in question, but one never knows,
it might be true. He will tell Cara that she needs to be more aware of what
those around her think. Don't get yourself caught by ignoring the perspectives
of others. The Great Weaver holds her priests to a higher standard. We need to
be models of good behavior and try not to offend any others. Well except those
who deserve to be put down. Nickalo seems like he has seen this happen before
with young females. Druids are less concerned about those natural type of
things than many. He will suggest to simply take the high road and apologize if
you might have offended and then move on more carefully in the future. Rufus is
still sniffing around. He seems worried.
Crandall and Eggbert will be excited about the leather shop and the offer of
lodging at Tower 8. Mawby will give Ahearn a look, like what the heck do you
have there? He will suggest Ahearn wait for him and he will immediately address
Sean. What can I do for you? How good sir have you found a clutter of
followers? Two sailors and two dogs? Mawby will offer to take care of the two
and get them settled in Poppins' old store. He is fairly sure it is still
empty. He will suggest that he can probably take care of the title, etc. and
handle any mayorial issues for about 8 gold total. Since they are friends of
Ahearn and Holly, he will make sure they are well treated.
Sean will grab the torc from the jewelers. It is really high quality. He thinks
even Bonaluria might think it is nice.
Nancy and Sarah will promise to check in at Hagar's tower in a couple of days
once they get Lori situated.
Jethro will plan to take the Turtle and Nancy back with the requested supplies
for Fred. Anyone else want a return trip at this time?

After making port, Xander will make his way to Ophelia and bring her up to date
on what's been going on at the Cove. He'll continue with, "The group is
planning on doing some building out there for some long term buildings. I was
wondering if you know where I can get my hands on a copy of the Wall of Stone
spell. I know that I can't cast it yet, but if I have a chance to study it, I
should be able to give it a go soon. Also, we're planning on tackling a dragon
or two, do you know of any particular defenses I can come up with to keep them
from killing me in a single shot... again?"

Sean will invite Sarah to come back to the Cove if she wishes, or stay at
Tower 8 if she'd prefer to stay in Aarell.
Sean is glad to see Matilda. "Welcome back!" he'll say, never quite
comfortable enough to simply call her Matilda, and pretty sure she wouldn't
want anything more formal.
Sean can take Crandall and Eggbert by the leatherworker's shop. He's just
uncertain as to what he needs to do to facilitate their taking up residence. He
assumes there will be some sort of licensing fee to the Lord Mayor's office.

Lori will be guided by both Nancy and Sarah. The two men will help, but they
will be asking about this leatherworker's shop and where it is located? Matilda
is back and will take Lori into her care with the gentleness expected by one of
Farab's devotees. Nancy will produce a list of materials for Matilda that
Pomeroy sent along for her to gather before she returns. Sarah is a bit
untethered and isn't sure where she is going to go from here assuming Lori
doesn't need her. Matilda will of course offer her a place to stay for at least
a while.

Sean's first stop is the Hospital, with Lori and whoever came along (it was
never clear, but I am pretty sure Sarah at the least did, as well as Crandell
and Eggburt, but for different reasons). Sean will bring along all the freed
captives who came along, Carandolana's dogs, and any message for Bonaluria from
Elmore. If he finds Bonaluria at the hospital, he will greet her warmly and
deliver whatever message Elmore wishes delivered. If he sees Tina, he will ask
her to come along with him.
Assuming Sarah and Lori are safely ensconced at the Hospital, and after
explaining what little he knows to Kendrick, or the highest ranking healer at
the hospital, Sean will stop at Baltisar's to pick up a certain platinum and
emerald torc. From there, Sean will drop Crandell and Eggbert (as well as any
excess gear) off at Tower 8, telling them to get comfy, and he'll get Crandell
set up with the leatherworker shop as soon as possible. He'll greet Maude,
though he does not know her that well.. After they are dropped off, it will
just be Sean, Tina and Carandolana's pack (assuming Sean was able to find Tina
in or around the Hospital). They'll head out to the Bear Creek Circle to
deliver the pups. After they are a bit outside the walls, Sean will present
Tina with the torc, and ask her is she'd like to get married. Hopefully she
says yes. Either way, he'll retain his cheerful demeanor if he can, and
deliver the pack to Carandolana. If he received a positive response from Tina,
he'll tell Carandolana and Nickalo, and if Tina agrees, he'll ask them to be
part of their marriage ceremony.
If all goes well with Tina, after breaking the news to Carandolana and Nickalo,
the couple will return to the Hospital, and ask Kendrick or Beathan (or both)
to be part of the ceremony, or at least ask them for their blessings. Then I
am sure Tina will want to talk to Bonaluria. And Sean will want to have rings
crafted. Sean will also show Kendrick the spur that was found. If he
recognizes the engraving, ok. If not, Sean will leave Tina to Bonaluria so the
womenfolk can do womenfolk stuff regarding wedding planning, and seek Mawby,
who may or may not have the time to chat with him. If Mawby knows who might be
attached to the spur, that would be good. If not, then on the morrow (assuming
it will be too late on the arrival day) Sean will seek an audience with the
Lord Mayor.
If Sean sees Mawby, he'll ask whether Mawby is aware of any potential settlers.
And a cooper.
Sean is presuming a little under a week in Aarell, with Holly arriving earlier
and beginning her training right away.
At some point, Sean will want to bring Tina to meet Glanna. He'll also look
for Alvin and Ogbert.

Is she going to come in. The bears will be happy to see her, but Rufus looks a
bit sad when he doesn't see Holly (who I assume is with Mawby; Fritz don't
forget to respond to my questions about identify, etc).
Except for the boot, you will arrive in Aarell without incident. Let me know
where you are all going?
