Everyone disagreed with attacking the armored wagon. Kalino was disappointed, but agreed that finding the gems was more important.
Using the way, Alaxander opened a large dimensional doorway and lead the group to the gates of Nibenay. Kiara changed into her templar robes and introduced herself at the gate. The templars exchanged pleasantries and the group was lead to a small house to stay in.
The house was a one room stone house. There were grass woven partition screens to set up small private areas. Shade and Kiara set up a private area for themselves and everyone else just planned to sleep in the open area of the home.
Before resting, Shade went to the bard's quarter and purchased some poison, along with some mundane equipment. To find the location, Shade had to bribe an elf. He had to pay for more information to find the poison seller.
While there, a small half-elf boy bumped into Shade. Shade caught the boy trying to steal some coins from his pouch. Shade saw the sorry state of the boy's clothing and his malnourished appearance. He handed the boy a ceramic piece and the boy dashed away.
The group returned to their borrowed house. Julius began crafting a bone shortsword to sell, while Shade trained to use a spear, from Kalino. Alaxander went into the city and paid a gem cutter to train him in his craft. Vashti went to a legitimate marketplace and purchased rice for her village. She purchased some other foodstuffs for her home village as well.
She returned to the house and explained that she wanted to stop off at her home village, let them know she was okay, drop off some food, and then continue in their quest. Everyone agreed, because one of the gems was in that general direction. The group than ate a light dinner and went to sleep.
Day 8, Week 1, Macro, Friend's Vengeance, 190th King's Age, Sun Descending
The group woke up and Vashti preached her sermon. The group ate from their food stores and drank from their reserves. Alaxander left, to finish training in gem cutting. Kalino continued to train Shade in using the spear and Vashti went back to the marketplace to buy more goods for her village.
When Alaxander returned, just after high sun, the group loaded up their kank. Kiara informed a Nibnese templar that she would be departing and thanked the Shadow King for being such a gracious host. The group could tell their was animosity between the two, but they put on an act of getting along.
The group ran to assist and the gith were forced to split their troops. Even with a gith, who could use the way, the gith were no match for the group. The fight had not been particularly easy and the group was damaged.
Once the fighting was over, and the gith looted, the group put their weapons down and informed the guards of Kuresh that they were not there to attack the village. The village guards kept their bows and spears trained on the group.
