ALAIN AND RAEN
Have been busy with researching/investigating the magical items the party recovered from the dragon's hoard.
Alain has found a source of materials for the magic cloaks he wishes to craft.

After the meal, Sergor leads Kat by a roundabout way to her inn, occasionally pausing to peer in a shop window or pet a stray dog or cat.
He takes her round the back.
In the kitchen, she finds servants making breakfast and Alwina talking with a visibly pregnant maid.
Kat hasn't gone far when she hears a baby crying. Klokulf enters with the infant the party rescued from the dragon.
The priest hands the babe to his concubine and turns away. He walks right by Kat...
And then turns around and looks again.
Clearly he has recognized her.
Sergor says " Young lady was set upon by robbers in the twilight. I helped her out. Name's Sergor. I am not one to harp on such advice , but it is safer to meet your friends for a night out than to go alone in Phlan."
He regards Kat with a worried avuncular expression.
" You'll excuse me if I just fade away now. Got business of my own."

Kat tries to look confident and in control of the situation, but it is a bit of a strain, since she is dishevelled, dirty, barefoot and dressed in lower class men's clothes very much too large for her. She nevertheless smiles brightly as she nods at Sergor.
"I'm much obliged for your help, kind sir, and I do hope we meet again!"
She then nods pleasantly at Klokulf and Alwina. If they don't have too much conversation for her she'll slip away for a bath and a rest.

"Yes, thank you for bringing her back safely," Klokulf says. "Perhaps we shall see you about. Soon, I hope."
He turns to Kat. "Are you alright? Were you injured by the scoundrels?"

Kat smiles at him, apparently genuinely grateful for his concern.
"I'm mostly fine. bumps and bruises, a skinned knee nothing more."
She pauses long enough for Sergor to leave as if not wanting to involve him in the next part.
"Um, there may be some... ongoing issues though. I think I got on the wrong side of some people. We're leaving town pretty soon, right?"

Kat missed the message. But Master Cadorna sent word that the ship for Harrowdale and Raven's Bluff sails tomorrow morning .

Klokulf replies, "Yes. Just lay low until the morning, and we will be off."

Kat nods
"Good. I'll head up to my room. Best if I stay quiet in there today. I could use a bit of rest and recovery anyway!"
She pauses for a moment to see if there is anything else, her eyes already flicking to the stairs

Kat has a chance to get some much-needed rest.
The others go about business as usual, researching magic, scouring records for information about Raven's Bluff and a possible way home, gathering magical materials, practicing arms, or just relaxing.

Klokulf makes inquiries about selling off bulkier items, converting to gemstones and high value coins.
At the same time, he investigates purchases of arcane supplies for Alain's item creation projects. Trade in kind may save money.
If the party is to sell/makes trades and leave town tomorrow morning, it must get done today/tonight.
This business takes most of Klokulf’s day, but the priest secures an afterhours meeting and delivery of goods with a dealer's factor at a tavern and gaming house in the Textiles Quarter, a place called the Happy Halfling.
