The night came, and passed, and with the morning came the bustling energy of the campsite, coming to life once more. People moved about, gathering supplies, and tending to each other. Food was passed around, and the smell of food roused Vesper from her sleep. She popped her head out from under her blanket, and yawned. A few guards were making the rounds near by, handing out rations,and when they made their way to the two girls, Vesper waved them away, not wanting to take from those who needed it. When they left, she sat up, and reached over to wake Brynn, careful not to spook her. "Hey, we need to get up. We have to meet the others," It was said in a soft tone, gently bring the other woman to wakefulness, and Vesper smiled when she sat up, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "I'll get us some rations, and we can head out after we eat, ok?"<br/><br/>Pulling out two portions of dried meat and bread for them to eat while they walked. It wasn't a long trip to the smith's tent. Finny was already inside,seated at the table when they walked in,eyes scanning a map. Vesper smiled brightly at him, happy to see him after he seemed to disappear the night before. "Where did you run off to?" At the question Finny looked up from the paper, and sighed "I went to speak with the grand cleric again. I was hoping she'd give a bit in her position, but it was a fruitless endeavor. One I wish I hadn't wasted my time on." He huffed, a bit, clearly upset about it, but he waved Vesper's concerned looks away. "It is fine. We just need to gain more support. How did you two fair with that book?" At that Vesper perked up. Merlin had promised he'd tell the others, but maybe he couldn't find Finny.<br/><br/>Regardless, he did need to know. "Well we found out a bit, actually. Turns out the dragon is some archaic beast. Wanted to be a god, got defeated and locked away, and has now been resurrected by some cult following. We think we can seek guidance from the Gods who helped cast her away. Merlin can tell you more about it later, but we did find a lead on Kerrek!" Finny frowned at that. "A lead? What lead?"<br/><br/>"Well, you know the Cromwells..." Finny did, indeed know them. They were everything people hated about nobles, and what he probably would have been had he not been given the hand he was dealt. "Yes. Are they guilty?" Vesper shook her head, remembering the damage done to Fiona. "They're not, but their father was in correspondence with Kerrek. Apparently Fiona had started to uncover somethings, but she's badly injured. We'll have to wait till she recovers to know anything for sure, but I say he's our best bet." He nodded along as she spoke."Good job, you two...I know I'm not you're captain, or anything, but I'm impressed you got the information so quickly. Especially from the Cromwell's. They're a bit standoffish."<br/><br/>"They aren't so bad, anyway, have you seen Merlin or Ragnar. We were suppose to be leaving soon, right?" Finny shrugged at her question. "Haven't seen them, but I'm sure they're on their way."
