    Lyndal

    "Not nearly as well." Lyndal whispered back in agreement.

    "Knowing we're walking around with a map worth that kind of gold is not a comfort, but I must get my shopping done! Come one, I think the Grand Souk is that way!" She pointed in the direction her keen shopping senses drew her, keeping an alert eye out for any especially menacing cartophiles.

    Secret, Jack, Tiryki Anchorage


    The young Drow clung to the hulking beast, its snapping and hissing no deterrent to her heart, and it set about thrashing and stomping in the pen. Nasty Boy's girthy neck swung this way and that, its claws raked against the earth, and yet the Drow did not give in. Its hissing and snapping eventually settles and it merely stomps around violently. The instructor nodded his head at the Drow, his face a grimly set mask of neutrality, and he beckoned for her to come down. Nasty Boy's bristling spikes seemed to engorge as the creature let out a billowing roar and raised itself mostly erect. The process of doing so threw the Drow to the ground, eliciting a few snickers from the other would be riders, and the instructor walked over to her as she arose.

    "You lasted longer than most anyone I've seen. I think he likes you. You're on, girl. Nasty Boy will be competing in a minor race at sunset. What's your name?"

    He held a hand out as she began to speak, cutting her off.

    "Not your birth name or any of that rubbish. I mean your true name, your riding name, who among the Batiri Biter's is picking themselves up off the ground?"

    Aleandrae, Lyndal, Basically Everyone Else, The Thundering Lizard


    Disturbed by the incredible price placed on the map in their possession, Lyndal and Aleandrae do not allow it to disrupt their intended and most important objective of the time.

    Capitalism!

    Fists of... hard earned gold in hand they stormed the grand market and its twisting and turning veins of commerce. No merchant was spared, no broker left unbroken, no peddler left unhaggled, and by the end of their intense shopping spree the sun was getting dangerously low in the sky. They hadn't too much time left before Wakanga's dinner but with such fears as they had in mind from earlier in the day they decided to stop by the Thundering Lizard. Where Jobal and Wakanga's homes were elegant and splendorous the rowdy inn was.... less so. It did have a certain kind of charm in its own rustic kind of way.

    "Nun Shall Pass!" Secret roared in an adorably futile effort to sound fierce. Then she ruined even that by elaborating. "With an N-U-N. It's an N-U-N-do. Hee!"

    Aleandrae

    "Hello, everybody!" Aleandrae enthusiastically greeted their compatriots at The Thundering Lizard. "I hope your day has been as profitable as ours has been," she said, meaning herself and Lyndal. Then she lowered her voice so that only the group could (in theory) hear her. "We can't stay too long, because we have a commitment to keep, but you should know that in joining our illustrious Boss Lady in visiting Merchant Prince Wakanga, we managed to obtain a book that may be of some use. Wakanga also added a spot on our map where a journal belonging to a wizard was found. More importantly, we have the journal. I hope both books will aid us. After speaking with Wakanga, we were accompanied by this Volothamp Geddarm character (who drank far too much for the time of day, if you ask me) to another Merchant Prince, Jobal. He offered to buy the map for one thousand gold pieces, but I turned him down." Aleandrae paused a moment to let that sink in, paying especial attention to Darion's reaction. "He seemed especially put out; I would be surprised if he did not attempt to obtain the map by other means. Lady Lyndal and I will be returning to Wakanga's villa shortly for dinner, and then we can return back here for the evening. But I would watch yourselves. Did you have anything to add, Lyndal?"

    Bean smiles and nods pleasantly throughout Aleandrae's debriefing, either unperturbed by any risk of danger or simply uncomprehending.
    "So you're off to a nice dinner with the merchant gentleman? Has he taken a shine to you? Hee hee! Oh! Speaking of shine, I got a gift for you and Lyndal as well."

    The gnome produced a nice lacquered fan with an image of colorful tropical birds painted on it, and handed it to Lyndal, then gave a small jar of some substance to Aleandrae.
    "Something to help you beat the heat, Ms. Lyndal, and that jar contains a special polish that should help keep your horns nice and shiny in all of this humidity and rain Aleandrae. Perfect accessories for a nice intimate evening with a rich and powerful merchant prince!"

    Lyndal

    Lyndal raised her eyebrows and looked around the tavern nervously as Aleandrae gushed on about their day and especially their alarming encounter with Jobal. At she was addressed however, her face lit up and she twirled.

    "I bought a new dress!" The dress twirled obligingly with her and she smiled happily. She took the fan with no small surprise from Bean and examined it.

    "Oh it's lovely, thank you so much!" She embraced the tiny woman warmly before releasing her and giving the fan a couple of exploratory waves.

    "I'm sure this will come in handy! Have you seen the other two?" She couldn't recall their names, if she had ever learned them but she could picture the other two women clearly enough, and they didn't seem to be with the others.

    Secret Nun Shall Pass, Jack, Tiryki Anchorage


    Nun Shall Pass sat atop Nasty Boy cautiously. The sun was beginning to set in the distance and it made her massive killer mount uneasy she could tell. Or maybe it made her uneasy and she was projecting? It was hard to tell with cold blooded giant monsters. A burly orc covered in war paint mounted an equally painted Allosaurus beside her, the one everyone referred to as Bonecruncher, and given the chalky bone like dust (Or was that also war paint?) smothered on its mouth the name seemed apt. There was a deranged look in its eye that twitched and bulged for blood at a moments notice. The smaller but no less fearsome Grung Stomper (A hadrosaurus mounted by a Chultan woman) stradled inbetween the two larger predators as her rider sized them both up. Shuffling in last was the heavily armored (And heavily barded) Scarback, an ankylosaurus riddled with wounds with a gnome rider to match. The four contestants one by one lined their dinosaurs at the starting line.

    "On your marks."

    "Get ready."

    "Set."

    "GO!"

    And the race was off!

    For everyone except the predators. Nun Shall Pass, in a clever attempt to lure Nasty Boy along the race track threw a meat flavored clothe infront of him but only managed to confuse the beast. Catching whiff of the meat cloth whilst being beaten with a crop sent Bonecruncher into a berserk frenzy and the Allosaurus swiftly dismounted its rider and went on a rampage in the opposite direction. Grung Stomper and Scarback screeched ahead at breakneck speeds but the rapid sprinting wore down on the spiked dinosaur and it steadily slowed itself down to a trot then a crawl and then to an almost complete stop. Nun Shall Pass in a stroke of genius set off a sound behind her bloodthirsty ride and sent Nasty Boy surging forward. Ultimately Nasty Boy and Scarback ended up a few feet apart at the halfway point, stuck in a territorial tiff of hissing and circling one another while riders attempted to regain control, and Grung Stomper breezed effortlessly into first place.

    After the race was over Nun Shall Pass was given her reward as Nasty Boy got shunted off back to his cage. For a brief moment the Allosaurus looked at her with its yellow pinpricks of malice and clicked a few deep notes to her. Her recruiter approached her and shrugged.

    "Honestly. Not bad for a first race. You didn't lose any limbs! And with Nasty Boy! He's one of the hardest honkers we have to ride. Here's your cut kid. See you around."

    "That's very thoughtful, Bean! I had no idea they had such a thing here. Thank you very much." The Bard practically beamed at the diminutive gnome. "Now, I think Wakanga kind of has the hots for Lyndal and myself. We could use that if there's something we want out of him. Ideas?"

    Secret laughed as she accepted the three silver pieces. That had been so much fun! Even the people angry at her for being drow couldn't dampen her mood that much on her way to the Thundering Lizard, though it did serve as a reminder to secure her hood properly.

    Upon reaching the door, she threw it open joyously. "This was the best day ev-"

    That was as far as she got before a large, sweaty man struck her in the face butt first. It wasn't his fault, really. With his feet not even touching the ground, it wasn't like the human projectile had very many options. It took several seconds and a lot of struggling, but she eventually managed to get out from under the bruised body atop her. She started to invoke a healing spell, something to channel the energy of Lathander, but a glance inside told her that she might be better off conserving it for an inevitable true emergency. She settled for dragging him out of the road and trying again.

    "This was the best day ev-"
    Secret ducked as a halfling flew by at the height of her head, screaming. "-er. I saved a man, built a shrine, and rode a dinosaur! What could be better?" She bounced her way to the table where her fellow adventurers had gathered. "So, what did I miss?"

    "I really don't wish to repeat this more than once, so can we gather everyone up together?" Aleandrae's voice took on a tone of slight annoyance as she spoke, and she gestured toward the general vicinity in the Lizard. "Where are our other companions?"

    Bean rocked back and forth on her bar stool, her fingers touching the tips of her boots.
    "I don't rightly know where Secret and Jack got off to. I haven't seen them since we teleported here! But don't worry! If they show up here, I'll tell them everything you just told us! So you can go have your nice dinner. Leave everything to me!"

    Bean nearly jumped out of her seat in surprise, quickly adjusting her glasses as she turned to stare at Secret goggle-eyed.
    "Oh! Secret! I didn't realize you were here! And Jack! Good! I have gifts for you both! Souvenirs!"

    The gnome once again rifled through her belongings. For Secret, she produced a small painted gourd. It was hollowed out, and affixed with a stopper at the top, making it a sort of colorful bottle.
    "Look at this little gourd-bottle thing, Secret. I thought it was quite cute. You can store... little things inside! I hope you like it."

    She then retrieved a sling made of intertwined leather thongs of various colors, and a small sack of lead sling bullets.
    "I wasn't sure what to get you, Jack, but you seem to be someone with a steady aim. So I got you this sling! I saw someone demonstrate how to use it, and I certainly wouldn't want to get hit by one of those lead spheres. Hopefully it'll be a nice backup weapon on our expedition!"

    Lyndal

    Lyndal jumped and whirled around as Secret surprised her with her quiet presence.

    "Apologies, I didn't see you two come in." Her welcoming smile froze as she took in the unassuming woman fully for the first time. Be good or a Drow will come and take you away! Her mother's exasperated voice sounded through her head and she quickly looked away from Secret as she tried to gather her composure, torn between her ingrained aversion to an entire people and not wishing to be rude to her traveling companion.

    "Umm....." Her mind was momentarily blank as she sought some level footing.

    "It might be nice for Aleandrae and I to have one of you burly looking types to escort us back to the Merchant Prince Wakanga's?" She suddenly remembered they had agreed to ask on the way back to the tavern, with some relief.

    <"Perhaps you, brother?"> Lyndal turned to Sirak with a smile and addressed him in Draconic.

    Srirak
    The Thundering Lizard


    Srirak stopped people watching and regarded Lyndal with a mix of surprise and suspicion. Brother was a strange concept among lizardfolk. Eggs were laid and hatched communaly so the idea of siblings was not quite the same. To a degree any lizardfolk from his village and age group could be called sibling, but they usually would use the word clutchmate if anything. He knew softskins considered family in a sentimental manner, but he hardly knew this woman. Srirak concluded she had either mispoke or was trying to manipulate him. Also she spoke draconic. This always surprised Srirak.

    "I will come. Make scary face at soft merchants. Make sure you get to bed on time, <stranger>." The last word was best translated as stranger in draconic, but was respectful. Directly it meant something like 'one who is neither predator nor prey.'

    Bean made a dismissive gesture with her hand at Secret.
    "Oh pish-posh and nonsense, my dear! Don't feel obligated to buy me anything; I just enjoy shopping and getting gifts for new friends. Oh, which reminds me..."

    The gnome produced yet another trinket, this time a slender stick painted in colorful stripes. It made a rattling sound as she handled it.
    "Lyndal, Aleandrae, would either of you be so good as to deliver this to our generous patroness with my compliments and well-wishes? It's a 'rain stick.' You tilt it to the side and little beans or seeds inside make a sort of rainy sound. Isn't it neat? It's for Gertrude."

    Information is exchanged, drinks are had, and parting words are said as the burgeoning party once more fractures for the last time tonight. With Srirak's accompaniment nobody gave the two lovely ladies any trouble though they did get a fair few peculiar glances. Gertrude, upon being given her gift, branded it, and consumed it with blue arcane fire.

    She found it amusing.

    The two ladies enjoyed a lovely dinner with the Merchant Prince, who, despite making many advances on the two adventurers never pushed to go beyond dinner. Returning to the Thundering Lizard, they requested rooms, and slept rather uneventful. A fortuitous event given recent fears from the lady Lyndal and Aleandrae.

    Spoiler: Secret
    Show

    As you return to your room after a round of midnight shopping you find this coin laid flat on your bed which has now been pristinely pressed and folded.



    One by one the beleaguered adventurers made their way down the steps of the Thundering Lizard and adjourned themselves at a corner booth table for breakfast.

    Spoiler: Siward
    Show

    You almost miss the piece of parchment after a night of heavy drinking, but after grooming yourself briefly in the morning you realize a letter has been palmed into your clothing. It reads:

    You are a most impressive individual, Master Siward. I wish you luck in your endeavors heading into the jungle. If you do delve deep enough and far enough and find the locations of the ruins of Nangalore or Orolunga, I know friends in Waterdeep who would pay a fine bounty for a map to them. A bounty suited for a man of your position and heritage.

    Bean seemed very happy to hear her gift was well received. She sipped on hot tea while feeding maggots to a huge horned beetle perched on her shoulder.

    "Well, our mission is to stop the death curse, yes? And we have no idea how to do that other than a vague notion that the solution is somewhere on this humid and colorful land mass? Well, once we get a guide, we'll need to pick someplace interesting on the map and go investigating! What seems to be the most promising exotic locale? An ancient ruin? A lost fortress? The lair of some terrible beast? Perhaps we should go to whichever location is closer to the city, and work our way outward in a methodical spiral pattern?

    Oh, Siward, Darion, you two are the last people who need their gifts! Mr. Siward, I got you this lovely hat."


    Bean produced a hat decorated with colorful red and blue feathers and gave it to the burly man.

    "And for our friend Darion, I got you this set of dice. I believe you enjoy games of chance and skill, yes?"

    As promised, the gnome handed over a set of bone dice, the pips carved to resemble various kinds of beetles and other insects.

    "If anyone has any last-minute shopping to do, now's the time! I am ready to go at a moment's notice!"

    Darion took the offered dice. His face did something foreign and wrong-feeling. "Oh. That's, well, that's actually rather thoughtful. I like them. Thank you." The last part sounded like a question.

    He indicated his laden backpack on the floor with a kick. "I purchased supplies and met with my contacts. I wouldn't say I have any leads, but I have things to do that may hypothetically turn into something relevant to our cause. And by 'do' I mean 'visit violence upon', and by 'things' I mean 'monster infested lairs'."

    "I need to purchase travel rations," Aleandrae said, "But I think first we should select a guide (or two). They will be better equipped to suggest additional supplies we may need for our venture. I would also speak with them about our path, but tentatively, I should like to make for the location this journal we were given was found and explore from there." The archaeologist paused for breath and to let the others mull her suggestions. "But I must reiterate my question: Knowing that Jobal desires our map, should we trust any guide he sets us up with, and if not, where should we turn for an alternate source?"

    "According to Wakanga, Jobal was the only one to see about guides. Perhaps the question is, do we distrust Jobal more than the jungle on our own?"

    "Well, the only one officially to see about guides." Aleandrae spoke quietly. "There are always those willing to bend the rules," she added. The wisp of a smile played at her lips, and she glanced around the table. "So while we mull over that, what did the rest of you do yesterday?"

    "If we spend enough time in the jungle, pretty soon we'll be the guides! We're adventurers! We should get out there and adventure!"

    Bean nibbled on a biscuit as she contemplated a response to Aleandrae's question, which took the gnome all of two seconds.
    "I mostly just did some shopping yesterday. I certainly didn't get wrapped up in any intrigue! But I made a few new friends."

    She picked the beetle off her shoulder, letting it walk back up her arm, displaying the creature proudly.
    "This is Redhorn. Isn't he pretty? And I also got a goat. Her name is Clarabell. She'll provide us with milk, and other goat-related benefits."

    Bean sipped at her tea some more, placing a finger daintily at her chin.
    "You know, I'm worried about Gertrude's state of mind. Handing a small bag of gold to relative strangers and teleporting them to a strange continent with no instructions doesn't seem like a very good way to go about curing this death curse. But then again, I'm not a wizard! I'm sure she's consulted a crystal ball or something and seen what needs to be done."
    The gnome hummed a pleasant tune to herself.

    "I'm not going to say that I know people who work discreetly off the record." Darion fixed Aleandrae in his gaze and coaxed her to nod along slowly. "But I have two very good friends who enjoy outings."

    Lyndal bent to peer at the beetle.

    "He does have a lovely um... carapace?" She was uncertain on her proper beetle anatomy but covered her ignorance with enthusiasm.

    "I can't blame Madame Gertrude for being desperate." Lyndal answered Bean's ponderings charitably.

    "We can only hope to never face a similar situation ourselves. I suppose in that vein, we may also be helping our future selves here as well." She stood at Darion's news.

    "Well, I think that would be ideal! Not to say Jobal can't be trusted. I would never ever say that." She paused uncertainly.

    "However, he did look rather put out by our refusal." She smiled weakly and glanced to Aleandrae for confirmation.

    "I vote we use Darion's guides." She clapped her hands cheerfully.

    "How resourceful of you to have friends just when we need them!"

    "I must visit Grandfather Priest to hear results of my divination. He is doing search for Blanket Woman's necromantic arctifact. If he found it we will know which guides are helping. You are all welcome to join. I have paid."
