Gathering / Conference
Auun gets increasingly frustrated as 4 out of 10 months have passed and they still haven't found anything. They're slowly getting sick of telling the same story over and over and they've ran out of versions to tell. This time he's in an StA Guildhouse. It's a place where a lot of storytellers tell their stories and get paid a fixed amount of money. Although a place Auun usually loves, as he can bask in the spotlight of a more educated crowd and can converse with fellow storytellers, this time he looks glum and sits at a table in the corner while another storyteller is on the stage telling some story with musical support. Auun is clearly drunk and their head hurts. They think about how they haven't been in contact with the queen at all and that maybe it's all for nothing and they should give up and what if war is already upon them? Then he spots SOMEONE in the crowd. His eyes light up and he stands up, wobbling slightly and makes his way across the room. They greet the SOMEONE who turns out to be a SCAVENGER Auun knows well. They go back to Auun's table and he starts telling the informant about the elven prince and the sword. The informant actually has a clue for them and tells Auun to visit a certain tavern where someone who fits Kishay's description has been seen. The savenger also gives Auun a necklace for conacting them if he needs more info and promises to keep an eye out for more info on Kishay. Auun, drunk and happy to finally have a lead accepts the necklace without thinking twice.
