Alise was standing just outside, a somewhat bewildered expression on her face.  Mirri stood just behind her, the drow smiling somewhat lewdly at Lyla for a brief moment before returning to a neutral expression.  After a moment, Alise cleared her throat and pulled a folded piece of paper from her pocket.  "As we discussed earlier, ladies, I'd like to hire you to search for a few things for me.  This is a list of the plants I need, as well as where to find them.  Most of them are in the forest to the east of town, about a mile out.  If you need, I can get you a map of the area to help find it.  It shouldn't be too dangerous, but keep your eyes open.  I've heard some rumors of a scout or two running into trouble around there."
