Re: Evil Below the Mines
An observant person would note Lucien's head cocked slightly to listen to Rissa's story as the group travels. When the party at last reaches Milborne, he nods his agreement with Alisandra's sentiment. "A home cooked meal, a hot bath, and a soft bed will do wonders. I will join you at The Silver Crown I think. Tomorrow I intend to replenish my supplies from the local store and see how much oil they will sell me."
The elf takes a couple of steps away before turning to look back at Rissa and Three Elks. "Remember that the raiders have been targeting magic users. Watch your backs." With that warning delivered, he moves off towards the tavern where he will order a meal and reserve a room before buying a round for Old Grizzler.
Lucien is going to gently interrogate Old Grizzler about the mines, the kidnapped magic users, Illithids, and followers of Cyric. After that, he'll turn in for the night.
In the morning, he'll re-summon his familiar somewhere out of the way. Then, he'll visit the store to buy supplies. He'll be looking for flasks of oil, another 10ft of string, a bell, at least 3 castings worth of charcoal, incense, and herbs, a replacement bag of ball bearings, caltrops, paper, ink, a quill, a bag of flour, a length of chain, a padlock, a small spade, torches, and a couple of hunting traps.
