"I think I'll go with you to talk with the River Lord priests. Would help pass the time and hopefully I can see what temples and religons are already here or are soon coming, and what they could offer to help us, be it jobs or services." Rohan proclaims as he finishes his cup of water and leaves with Morazin.

Head to the Temple of the River Lord with Morazin. Spend some time chatting with the priests about what jobs and services their temple can offer, as well as what other temples and religions are around/coming soon.

"Sure, come along! Afterwards, we can see what trouble we can get into!"  Morazin pauses for a moment. "Umm, one second, you haven't by chance taken on a vow of chastity, have you?"

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Eli pulls up his hood, dropping a few coins on the table for his food and drink.

"Ockerbie is right - the dead still matter to someone. I will get help for carrying back any interesting animals or plants we might come across, if no one objects to their taking space on the boat. Just the two half-orcs carrying my cages - I'll meet their food and wages, of course. Unless you think they might slow us down too much, Eli?"

"Orcs tend to be tough on the trail. Even the lazy ones."
Eli says with a small laugh.

...

Outside, Eli stroked his roan mare-Longstrider-on the mane.

"...there's a good girl. There we go." He says quietly. To Eli, she was the first companion he really had-and one who wouldn't give him an odd look. The only company he had, on so many long journeys. She had saved his life many times-swiftness winning out where cunning and strength failed. Longstrider was still shaky from the long trip over the sea, but...he thought she would be fine. This was just one more long journey.

Action: Tag along with Steffan and Bethany-might as well find a stable to keep my own horse, unless the boat can fit TWO.

Once everyone else had left Holdron shook his head "Tha' Marzapan kid... Too much focus on the lasses." Looking at his bottle he smiled "Yer the onl' one fer me baby."

Stay at the inn until too drunk then pass out in the gutter like a proper Oldbarian.

"Sure, come along! Afterwards, we can see what trouble we can get into!"  Morazin pauses for a moment. "Umm, one second, you haven't by chance taken on a vow of chastity, have you?"

"You are thinking of eunuchs, not Paladins.  Humans..." Maru complained in Morazin's direction as he passed by.  A moment later she decided to accompany him and leapt up onto his shoulder from the table.  A few seconds later, an identical cat took took the other shoulder.  The two cats peered at each other for a moment across the space in front of Morazin's face then the one of the right shoulder spoke.  "I have decided to join your half of the expedition for this step of the journey, Morazin.  I thought you would want to know the terms of our mapmaking arrangement.  You will receive no compensation from me besides the privilege of my superior knowledge.  You will be free however to create copies of our shared work for your personal uses.  Oh and if you try to sleep with Marini I will kill you."

It had gone better than she had expected it would, she was part of their group now with no argument at all. The only problem now was she did not have anything to do, for a moment she paused and then decided she might as well head along to buy this boat. She knew a bit about ships from her father and even though this wasn't much she still wanted to see what their new vessel would be like.

Steffan:
You pick two of the orcs to serve as your porters, and agree to meet at the Inn in the morning.

Steffan, Bethany, Eli, Ashii, Ashura:
After coming to the conclusion that yes, together you all have enough funds to purchase a boat, the group heads down to the docks in order to see what might be on offer. The following ships are docked:
-The Tinheart, a bearded longship owned by a dwarven trading group. They appear to be busily unloading barrels at the moment, and the ship does not appear to be for sale.
-The Elven Maiden, a particularly slim vessel with long oars crewed by a group of of hobgoblins. Unusually for hobgoblins, the crew is singing loudly in Goblinese and drinking what appears to be cherry wine.
-The ARS Expeditious, a twin-masted sailing ship owned by the Royal Navigator's Guild. It does not appear to be for sale.
-A large number of rowboats chained to the dock with a sign stating, "Inquire at Inn for Key". These must be the ones the bartender mentioned.

There is also an elven shipwright present, who has a number of colourfully painted rafts already built and half a kneelboat in drydock. Upon inquiring about the price, he informs you that the ship was commissioned by a group of explorers who went missing and are probably dead. He'll finish the knealboat and sell it to you, if you can pay the 4000 still owed on it up front.

Morazin, Rohan, Orgarr Vray:
As it resolves itself, there is not a physical temple in Rivertown, only a small stone circle where the local druids and elven priests conduct their duties. When asked where the Temple of the River Lord is, they laugh, say something briefly in Elven, laugh some more and then explain that "The Temple-in-the-sense-of-religious-group meets here. There is no Temple-in-the-sense-of-religious-building constructed yet." He goes on to point out, in a rather smug way, that if you were speaking Elven, such confusion would not occur.

The priests are willing to cast various divine spells on your behalf, for a donation, and will provide holy water at cost. They prefer being paid in silver, as they're currently short on silver powder for blessing holy water. They will provide legal and religious advice free of charge, as per their religious mandate. One of the priests eyes Morazin and Rohan speculatively and informs you with the utmost solemnity that he's the one who officiates marriages, if that's what you're after. It takes about five seconds before the others crack up laughing again.

Morazin keeps his ever-present grin. "Nay, Holiness we are not here for a marriage. We heard that there was a priest of the river lord who wished to travel to the fork in order to bless the river in His name, and we wish to serve as escorts. We wanted to arrange for a meeting at the inn in the morning to meet the rest of our band, and to prepare for the journey."

The priests are delighted to hear that you're here about the river and agree to have Sister Alanorwan meet you at the docks tomorrow morning with the ritual supplies.
