Cole looks over to Elise over hearing her response to Kaida, "Friends is it? I thought you were only companions?" Cole sends a playful smile and a wink in her direction. He then withdraws a second blade from his other sleeve and begins to twirl it through the fingers on his off hand.

Eko let's out a quiet growl matching the one he used as Wolf-ko. "They killed my SoftSkin and his Buddy. I'm going to hurt them." -Nahusca- The large bird looks down at his now shaking clenched fist. "I'm sorry, please continue without me." -Drake- Turning to the door, Eko makes his way out of the room.

Coles blades suddenly stop spinning through his gloved fingers. He watches Eko leave before returning his attention to the other individuals in the room.

"I'll echo Eko Eco. Tiamat must not be allowed to cross into Toril and so I'll do this task. Where are we to find you in Elturel?"

"It was Ontharr that first asked me to come to Greenest, it will be good to see him again," Drake says looking at Leosin and Nighthill, "If you're to be coming with us what skills to do possess?" He turns to Kaida and Elise, "I assume you're both mages as you appear to lack armour and weapons."

Kaida somewhat laughs at his reasoning, "Unless there's some 'no weaponry' rule we were not informed of, it would seem that all of you are much the same, but not to speak for Elise, I, myself, am of arcane descent." She says, as she stands, "But, for future reference, I am not here due to my willingness, I've not a choice, here, so you estimating my skills will not influence much, other than your self-confidence, I figure." She says, her eyes burning with confidence.

"It had nothing to do with self confidence. If we are all to be working together knowing the skills and talents of ones companions allows for better planning and battle tactics," Drake looks to Kaida as he replies, "As for my, and my other companions lack of weapons I'm sure you heard we were captured, it's not often prisoners are left with their weapons," he chuckles, "Everyone has a choice, even if it was some sort of Divine prophecy or similar, you didn't have to follow through with it," he pauses briefly, "But I'm glad to see there are others with the will and drive to help others when they discover in harm's way," he smiles, "Might I ask why you say you have no choice but to be here? Wilhelm said something similar about his being destined," he glances between Kaida and Wilhelm.

"You said yourself that this Ontharr person was the one who (quote gesture) sent you (quote gesture). Don't you find it particular to find a close relative of that same person infiltrated in a cultists group's camp, also that person is the mentor of one of your other companion at the time. It's more than just a coincidence and it makes me feel like we're part of a bigger plan here. A game played by Higher beings than us and we're the pawns" Wilhelm turns his head toward Kaida, "or the rooks, bishops and knights, if we like to believe so."

Drake looks at Wilhelm, "True enough, I hadn't realised just how much we are all connected by this."

Kaida acknowledges Drake. "You might ask, sure." She goes on to ignore the question past that. "Whatever it is that draws us together is, it can damn itself, I refuse to let that f-, Bahamut's, I refuse to let Bahamut's plans go unfinished, that is my sole purpose before you all now, so says He." She says, as if pained by the holy act. "But, yeah, I'll be following along with you all for the now."

"A follower of Bahamut is a welcome aid," he smiles hesitantly noting her choice of words and seeming disdain towards Bahamut. He then turns to the rather quiet and seemingly shy Elise, "I assume you merely came to help your friend as you've been rather quiet," he pauses as he then speaks to both of them, "Regardless of your reasons for being here I hope you come to feel you can trust us and us the same of you as we do what we can to thwart the Cult of Dragons and prevent Tiamat's rise," he holds a hand out to each of the two women in turn and then turns to Nighthill and Leosin with a quick glance down at the pouch, "Keep my share, Greenest needs it more than me. Instead I ask only that you supply me with a new bow, two more of those swords, a new pipe, tobacco, rations, some basic survival gear and as many arrows as you can spare," he directs that to Nighthill before adding to Leosin, "When you see Ontharr tell him he owes me a drink and a game of dice and tell him I look forward to seeing him again, it's been too long," he chuckles, "Oh, and before I forget Nahusca has basically demanded we all go see him," he adds to Cole and Wilhelm.

Cole reaches for the pouch quickly, "how about we go purchase our items first. We should make sure we are all properly stocked before leaving, no?" Cole smiles up a Drake.

Drake chuckles, "Do what you want with your share but I'm sure there's more than enough to cover what I need, and I don't really have much need for coin at the minute. Aside from buying drink and to gamble with," he laughs

"What about a poultice with that red liquid, those were fairly handy, no?"

"True but I believe we took all Greenest could spare last time," he looks from Cole to Nighthill, "Regardless, I'm sure we'll be okay without them if all we are to do this time is watch," he chuckles knowing full well simply watching wasn't going to happen

"Aha..." Elise smiled with bit of sweating behind it, as she shook Drake's hand. "I'm sorry if you got it wrong- I just... Used to work in quiet places, alone, like a library, so working in a group is..." She bit her lips trying to pick up the right word. Clicking her tongue, "... New experience, obviously I don't mean to come off as rude or a-anything, I trust you and- I actually would like to study more about Cult of Dragons." The arcanist explained.

Everyone Leosin shows visible gratitude as each of you accept the task he gives. "This is good. I expected no less from the heroes of Greenest." He then looks to Kaida and Elise. "As for you both, I to thank you for joining. Even if Bahamut has sent you here with no choice. I appreciate it now, and Toril will appreciate it in the long run." He smiles warmly and bows his head slightly towards the two ladies. "You are right, Wilhelm. There is more here than we know and we may be the pawns, but who are we to deny fate and the hand we have been played? When you get to Elturel, I would assume you to find me and Ontharr at the tavern named A Pair of Black Antlers. It is the headquarters in Elturel to the Order of the Black Gauntlet. Now you all should relax too. You have only just got last night and I expect a few drinks are in order? Unless there is anything else you have to ask, I am planning in some more rest." He looks around to you all for any more questions.
Folkre stands and places his hands on the table. "It has been gratifying to travel with you all, but my loyalty lies here with Leosin and where he goes." Leosin goes to speak up but Folkre holds a hand out to stop him. "You may say different Leosin, but I have trained under you for a while now and wish to continue the training. Plus, I'm not going to let you be captured again. So beside you I will stay. As for my share, you may keep it too. I have no need for it either and would rather it go to your efforts in tracking the cult." Folkre smiles at you all.
Nighthill then clears his throat to gain the attention. "As nice as the sentiment of you giving the money back to Greenest, Drake, I would rather it go to you. Greenest will be fine without it. This was put back the moment you all left for the cultist camp." He then chuckles lightly. "That is what the gold is for, Drake. I may have supplied you before you left for the camp, but this time Greenest is more occupied. I'm sure you could find all of those items around at a reasonable price. We have an economy to maintain you see.
"I too am grateful for everything you have done and wish you all the best in your future endeavours, but I must ask that we vacate my study. I do have some things I need to be doing and Greenest needs a leader that shows his face rather than hiding in his study." He chuckles as he stands and starts to usher you all out of the study.

Withdrawn from the office, Cole searches for a table. Having found one he slowly begins withdrawing coins from the pouch and begins to create four piles of coin two consisting of one hundred and eighty seven gold and two consisting of one hundred and eighty eight. Once complete Cole puts his share of one hundred and eighty five gold coins back into the pouch and ties it to his belt. He looks to the rest of the party, "I will see you all in town, I have some personal business to attend to."

"If you insist," Drake chuckles, "If there nothing else to discuss then," he turns to follow Cole, "Once we've resupplied how about we meet for drinks to plan our next move," he adds.
Leaving Nighthill's study he meets Cole at a table and collects his share of the coin before heading out in to Greenest looking for supplies.
(Looking for a longbow, a pair of slashing shortswords, a nice pipe, tobacco, 10 rations, waterskin, a new set of dice, a single person tent, mess kit, bedroll, backpack, tinderbox, flint & steel, 5 torches and 60 arrows)

Wilhelm follows behind Drake as they leave the study. After hearing Drake's invitation for a drink he'll turn toward the two newcomers "I assume you both are already equipped and ready to go but the invitation for drinks extends to you. Please meet with us so we can know each other better and discuss our plan of actions." As they file out and Wilhelm take his share of the reward, he'll ask Elise and Kaida "what do you guys know about kobolds? We saw many among the cultists, is that common?"
