Meeting Ren Dalstar

Provisioning

The group leave Gaards House, some dancing to Luc's music, fired up with anticipation about the journey ahead, and some more subdued, perhaps worried about what the days ahead will bring. Upon reaching the streets, the party make their way to Ren Dalstar's Corrals. As you arrive, hefting your various back-packs etc. you smell the characteristic smell and sound of horses, and talking amongst yourselves, you realise that none of you are actually experienced in riding horses. As you stand at the gate, a short wiry man with a shock of straw coloured hair on top of a round smiling face greets you, vaulting up to sit on the gate.

"You must be the 'Unknowns'", he says, with a grin on his face. "Gaard told me to expect you, I guess you'll be wanting 8 horses for your journey to Silverymoon". He looks at the group for a moment. "Anyone here ridden a horse before?". Seeing several heads shaking, and only Ceely nod, he continues. "It's not hard, and provided you take care of them, for the most part they'll take care of you. I'll get the stable hands to give you a 20 minute riding and horse care lesson. I've already sorted out eight Longsaddle horses for you all."

After about an hour, the group leave Dalstar's stables leading their new horses. Over the next few hours, the party travel around Neverwinter buying any last minute items, occasionally stared at by people they know and occasionally by people they don't.
