The newly built Triton Embassy is a large wooden building with coral accents next to the Town hall.

Alban makes his way to the new embassy building next to the town hall; nodding in appreciation of the architecture.“Very appropriate.”He says to himself.

Knocking on the front door Alban waits for someone to answer the door.....

A triton soldier with a bandaged arm opens the door. He looks around with a scowl before looking down and noticing Alban. He smiles. He's one of the tritons who was with Peryn the other night, and he clearly recognizes Alban. He looks to be in much better condition today. "Its a public building, friend, no need to knock! Here to see the captain? She always has time for you or your friends! Captain, the little wizard with the magic land-raft is here to see you! go on upstairs, the captain's just tryin' to look busy so we don't see her fret about our wounds."

As he greets the Triton soldier at the open door and enters the embassy Alban smiles at him with concern in his voice at the soldier's injuries.  "Thank you very much.  I hope you are healing well?"  He pauses a moment to listen the soldier's response and replies, "Yes.  I do have some business to discuss with captain Peryn if she is available.  I just heard the original ambassador managed to get himself and his bodyguard killed in the Rimewood forest.  Have you heard anything about what me may have been doing out there? I wouldn't want to running the same dangers without being prepared." He said with a grim face.

Alban follows the soldier further into the embassy to the captain's office; making small talk as they went.

The soldier says "I'm healing nicely, thanks. I don't know the details, I only know they accompanied a cartographer into the woods, and only half of the expedition came back." (OOC: the previous ambassador was a player who abandoned the game in the middle of his first fight. We don't usually kill inactive characters, but its been over a year now, I'm pretty sure he isn't coming back.) He escorts you the the captain's open door as you talk.

"Greetings, Alban!" Peryn says as she puts down a quill and straightens up a pile of papers. "How may I help you?"

Entering the captain's office Alban face gladdens into a grin to see her.  "It is good to see you, Peryn. You are doing well, I trust? I was talking with the young Triton who escorted me.  There are healing potions available at the alchemist shop for you and your men to speed up their recovery."

Pausing a moment to gauge the captain's reaction Alban presses on. "I have a some matters I would to discuss with you if you have the time. First, I am in need of several alchemy components to help me with my magic research and was hoping to trade with the Triton nation for some of them.  I'm in need of octopus ink, a night hag's claw, and a feathertree branch.  Would you be willing to trade for any of these components? It would truly help me. "

Alban pauses for the Peryn's response and continues, "Second, I need to translate some writings I came across in my travels near hear.  They appear to be in the Infernal language, but I am not fluent enough in it to decipher the writings.  There were found on an alter near the east seashore and I fear are being used for evil purposes.  Can you or someone you know help me with this endeavor? If not with the translation then maybe with a spell scroll to help comprehend the language?"

"Afraid we don't have the money for enough healing potions for all of us, but we might be able to get one or two for our most wounded," she said first.

After Alban continued, "Octopus ink is simple enough. I can get you a bottle from Tarakkum for 50gp. The stuff is expensive, since you have to pick a fight with a giant octopus to get it, but it is popular among Tarakkum's elite to use for their correspondence. I'll throw in a penquin-feather quill, as well. As for the other two, I'll come to you first if I hear of any night hag sightings in the future, but to my knowledge, there are no trees in the ocean."

Finally, she answered, "I'm sorry, can't help you with the language, but if you can show me the altar on the map, I can request a detachment of soldiers be stationed to guard it."
