Can I get a metal helmet? Cat leather won't do much against a sword.
Oh, then go to a bar or tavern. That is the traditional party meeting place.
Rodrik heads off in to the city, looking to purchase a metal helmet.
After a long afternoon of haggling you manage to buy a new bronze helmet, it's square sided almost bucket like with a T shaped opening leaving your eyes and mouth exposed, a long square nose guard runs down to your upper lip.
With a lighter purse and the helmet on your head, you head towards what ever tavern the others have ended up in.
Find someone in need of help
(so i got all the stuff i asked for?)
I head out with Leonidas in to find people to help out.
Leonidas and Drustan head out in such of people to help, you are soon sent to meet a leading towns man, Denzin Morrass in the Oxen and Bow...
Head to the tavern, see if there is a book shop on the way. Stop to read ANYTHING visible.
To slowly make your war to the tavern, until your path leads you to a sign, a shop sign stating Ulric's Scroll Emporium.
After a few minutes browsing, you come away a few coins lighter having exchanged your old book for a new one.
------
The tavern. The penultimate hub of almost any adventure. Melinda goes to find one.
-----
It takes you a few minutes to find Oxen and Bow, inside it's clay brick walls, you find both beer and lodgings.
Your in the middle of your third tanked of sweet rice wine when Leonidas and Drustan arriveand head to the tabe of a old white haired man.
-----------
Leonidas and Drustan.

In side the Oxen and Bow, Denzin Morrass is sat by him self, he is an old man, with hair as white as snow and a face deeply worn with the lines time and worry.
"So you are the men that have came, i had hoped for more but it can' be helped.
As King Tyrfingrson's Scroll master, i am in charge of paying bounty, and we have a big problem on our hands.
Come look outside and learn." he draws his cloak around him as he heads to the door.
From the door way, you can see a orange glow in the distance.
"Theres goes another farm, up in smoke, the raiders want gold and silver, if you can't pay then they take what they want.
Tyrfingrson knows that thay will bleed us all dry and enslave us if we let them so he as called for outsiders.
He's willing to pay generously to any one that frees the land of the scourge." he finishes his drink and lean in closer to you.
"Drustan, Leonidas You seem to be good men so i will warn you now, King Tyrfingrson has called for foreigners because you dont count, no one will cry for you here, so keep safe." and with that he leaves.
