Ice puts her sword away rather than actually dropping it, and replies to the soldiers: "Surely you don't think I mean to harm this man here in front of a bunch of witnesses?" She then turns to the official and says: "You might want to be a bit more careful in the future about who you call a coward! Now, do you want us to go on this mission for you or not."
"Now just a minute! I have committed no crime. I did not try to kill anyone. If I had tried, he would be dead. I am a fierce warrior just as you all are. I did not pull my sword in an agressive manner. I used it as a pointer and to emphasize my point. No different than a teacher with ruler pointing to her lesson on a slate in front of the class. I am a warrior, I drew my sword as emphasis of that fact, not to threaten this man!"
Daphne knows she has to think something really quick to get Ice and herself out of trouble..
She approaches the two officers with a very sad countenance and says "Please, don't arrest us. I am her sister (pointing out to Ice) We have a bunch of little brothers and sisters to feed (she takes out a handkerchief and starts wipping her tears) If you arrest us, they will be all alone and there will be no food for them tonight", she says loudly enough to gain the sympathy of the officers and the rest of the people. Then she starts crying loudly and forcefully embraces one of the men who was trying to arrest them.
I think we should plan to head east until we reach the kingdoms boundaries and then just barely cross out of the kingdom's boundaries. Then head southwest following the bounderies. This will gradually take us South and bring us up on Death's mouth coming from the east.
Let me know what you think and I will post tonight.

LDS, check out the last 3 posts in Party Order and let me know your thoughts.
Ice is willing to haggle the price and figures that must be what the map maker expects since his price is so unreasonable considering what everything else in the market costs.
"100 GP! Are you crazy? I can buy a wagon for that price! That is robbery. I will give you 10 GP for your best map."
