<strong>1. TINALIA.</strong><br/><br/>It was true that Sildar had not explained himself fully to Tinalia or the rest of the party.  He took this opportunity to come clean.<br/><br/>"Aye, lass, I am afraid that I have not been very forthright," he said.   "Yes, I came to help Gundren make this a more civilized place.  Phandelin needs help, and I am here to give it.  But the other reason I came was to see what became of my old friend.  He was a wizard, a good man, and an even better friend.  He disappeared shortly after arriving here."<br/><br/>He then turned to look at the innkeeper and asked:<br/><br/>"What of the other dwarves, sir?  Have they been in town?"<br/><br/>"Oh, aye," Toblin said.   "But they're camping rough in the outskirts.  I haven't seen them in a week or so."<br/><br/>Sildar nodded.<br/><br/>Tinalia asked about the orcs, but Toblin nor anyone else really knew anything of them.   "I'm sorry, miss, maybe the Townmaster might have more information, but we've never seen 'em, and we know next to nothin' about them save that they're makin' deliveries nearly impossible."<br/><br/>
