Quinta's assessment of the locals is sufficient to garner them two generous offers for the beast's remains; the first, from a merchant-- a wiry, dark-skinned man of the Silver Deserts tribes-- who claims that he wishes to sell the feathers and bones as a curiosity.  The second is from Lieutenant Kord of the Quinzan dispatch, a muster officer with an interest in taxidermy who believes that, properly handled, the beast's hide and skeleton can be preserved and shipped to Hadrius... while this may garner favor with the crowns, it would only pay seventy-five gold.<br/><br/>Study is required, Fiera knows, to identify the nature of the three items with which they've been presented, and she knows the risks associated.  With a night's rest, perhaps, she will be able to make headway.<br/><br/>Alphonse, on the other hand, is regaled for stories in the streets and, if he likes, can probably work out a free meal and a couple pints at the tavern for his stories.<br/><br/>(When your decisions are made, we will transition a short time period ahead.  I would appreciate it if, in your next post or two, you could sum up what your character plans for the immediate future.  Also-- while I'm not tallying XP, you will level up.)
