"Ah," Bethany said looking a little disappointed.

"I do know they are a very industrious people who value hard work," Epineh said.

"They are indeed," Olen agreed "They are also sharp witted and enjoy negotiation and haggling, the trip to their lands is fairly long, so you will want to prepare well."

Epineh nodded.

"Then we should head to the market."

Kalan nods and soon leads the party to the Marketplace "What supplies are you looking for? He asked.

"We need more food, right?" Epineh said. "I'm not sure what else though."

Kalan nodded "We can arrange for food," he said "Maybe some other travelling supplies as well?" he suggested.

"Certainly," Epineh said.

Kalan leads the way to a store that seems to be stock travelling gear from what is displayed in the window "Orleck's emporium is a good sauce of traveling supplies," he explained as he walked up to the shop.

Inside a portly Orc was sitting behind the counter "Ah, welcome valued customers. Welcome to Orleck's Emporium. I'm Orleck how can I help you today?"

"We are looking to travel to the kobold lands and need equipment and supplies," Epineh said.

"Kobold lands eh?" Orleck said "Thats white the journey I can outfit you for it, might even give you a discount if you could do something for me?"

"Ah. What is it?" Epineh asked.

Orleck grins "We'll the Kobolds are master smiths right? especially when it comes to smaller objects. What I'd like to do is for you to advocate for me to some of their smiths, to negotiate a deal so I can carry Kobold made gear," he explained.

"That seems reasonable," Epineh said. "I'd certainly be willing to do that."

"Excellent, Excellent," Orleck said grinning "We'll then lets get your supplies together then."

"thank you," Epineh said.

The Orc soon provides you with the provisions for your journey and equipment for everyone, new cloaks, blankets and tents, and new camping supplies.

Kalan hands over the coin for the supplies and then Orleck gives Epineh some papers "These are some introduction papers, and some business documents showing that you're empowered to negotiate for me," he explained.

"Thank you for your help," Epineh said.

"It's my pleasure and please consider my shop for any future purchases," Orleck says as he leads the party to the door.

Epineh bowed to him and then left.

After they left the store, Kalan asked Epineh "Anything else you'd like to do?" he asked "I think we should leave heading off till morning, so we can get a full days march."

"Hmm. Is there anything you suggest we do?" Epineh asked.

"Not really, rest would be wise though," Kalan said "It's going to be a hard journey."

"Ah, very well then," Epineh said.
