Glancing sceptically from Sek to Stripetail Heather closed her eyes and drew a deep breath. After a few seconds, she swung again at teh road between her footpaws and she opened her eyes. Blinking, she stepped back and grinned. There was a small patch of ice on the ground between them all. In the sun, it was already sytarting to melt. Glancing down at teh blade, it also was starting to turn back to normal again. It was weak, but it was magic and it had come from her.

Stripetail smiled. "not bad for a beginner. Everyone starts at the beginning at some point, you've now proven that you can cast a spell. It was weak, but it worked. The blade changed color to a faint blue, if only for a second ot two."

Heather nodded, happily. Haydn put a paw on her shoulder, letting her know he was back. "I saw that," he said with a chuckle. "You'll bea frightful warrior before long." The wolf then looked u at his two friends. "Do we have what we need?"

Heather and Haydn stepped aside to open up the circle to the ferret. Heather sheathed her blade and desctretely clipped it to her belt.

"Pardon my sudden intereference." The ferret said, bowing his head deeply. "I am Tanlon Dandek, the most successfull merchant in the area. I've heard, that the new ship in the harbour belongs to you, am I correct?" Keel-Raniur blinked. "Yesss, you are. The Ssseadragon isss my ssship."
"Splendid!" The ferret exclaimed, clapping his head. "In this case, may I invite you to a littel drink? In one of the local tavern's perhaps? There are some thinks I would like with you to discuss."
"Well..." Keel-Raniur glanced back and forth. "What do you think?" Sek-Raktaa merely nodded, looking at the others reactions.

Stripetail gave the ferret a meaningful glance. " One cannot be completely open in a place like this, sir. Too many trusting souls have gone to have a drink with someone, and wound up as slaves or worse, dead. So forgive me if I am slightly skeptical"

"Oh, nononononono." The ferret replied, wavin his paws. "I'm an honest merchant, dear sir. I don't feel comfortable with illegal slave trading. No, actually I am here to talk to you about a job I need a couple of brave adventurers for."

Haydn watched the faces around him, hesitantly. He said nothing but watched the tanlon very carefully.
Heather meanwhile, stepped foreward with a quick salute. "I'm a game beast.. what do you guys think?" She looked eagerly around at her comapnions.

"Well, to make it short..." The ferret scratched his chin, then sighed heavily. "Alright, I'll be honest with you. I need a crew of daring seafarring beasts for a very dangerous assignment. Of course I will pay well. You see, I import all my wares from a isle, though the last two ships I've send there haven't returned yet. I need someone willing to travel there and find out, what happened to my ships before I can dare to risk another ship. Would you please follow me to a tavern or something like that? There I'll fill in all the details."

"Alright" Stripetail nodded and turned towards the others. "Let's go hear what he has to say"

Though Haydn was uneasy, he wouldn't hold back the crew. .. Heather obviously wanted a piece of the action, he looked around at the others.
