"Exactly Lawrance, that is why I wanted us all to converse before we land again, especially near a large city. We must strategize and increase our awareness against such threats."
Regarding Poljen's concerns, Velon looks to Mari. "Mari, this is part of the deal. Please answer Poljen, and include when you told Fay your story, which I forgot to mention."
Out of Character: I intentionally left out that Silas confronted Mari, leaving such details vague without lying so that people don't murder Mari right then and there, but will run with it… I did just forget about Fay though.
Mari anxiously awaits her companion's comments. Her mind races as she fear what will be said. She shakes her blond tresses out. Hearing Poljen she shakes her head." I understand your mistrust. I was trying to ride the fence basically. The Zhentarim and the Blaze were my two families. My goal was to keep both happy. The information I provided the Zhentarim did not hurt the Blaze. They made use of it to profit from work the Blaze had done. If they would have ordered me to harm the Blaze directly them I would have balked at it."
Her gaze slides across all in the group." As I truly realized how evil the Zhentarim was I faced a dilemma. If I broke from them they would not rest until I was dead. They have intolerance for betraying them. Meeting Silas and being confronted by him took away my option to try to please both groups. It also gave me an option to leave the Zhents and not be hunted down. I was glad for the chance offered by Silas."
A smile crosses her face." As for Fay… I revealed the truth to him while we journeyed from Greenest to recover the half dragon eggs. Unfortunately he isn't here to verify this."
Lia listens with a concerned look on her face. She doesn't add any comments yet, wishing first to hear what her friends think. Her hands ball into fists under the table as Mira speaks of Fay. Raw anger is visible on Her face.

Velon just shakes his head as Cratol walks out, giving Poljen and Lia a look. As the not so stoic monk exits, he simply sighs. He looks as if he's going to speak, but the group can see him bight his tongue and look at Poljen once again.
Tazskan, having finnished breakfast feels stunned. He feels a little uneasy. The mention of the Zhentarim, in connection with Mari.
He knew little about this shady organisation. Also neither about Mari, and Lia. He begins to question loyalties, inside of him. His mind a whirlwind of mixed emotions.
"I can see there is a lot here, I don't know about. But what I do know, is that actions speak louder than words. Zarra's ressurrection does exactly that," Tazskan says.
"Velon, if you and Silas, trust Mari that she will not betray us to the Zhentarim, then I will trust your judgement here," he adds.
"For clan, and honor you have my word as a Dragonborn, Velon. That I won't betray you. At this time you are my clan," Tazskan, pauses and looks arround the room.
Among the patrons at the rite of inebriation, is a tall and slender half-elf pouring beers from a pitcher into his own cup and to the cups of others. Seeing the young musician ask to perform this evening brings a smile to his face as he cannot recall all the times he has done so himself. He then excuses himself from the table he is sitting at with a friendly parting gesture and approaches the two musicians.
"Sorry to interrupt but I couldn't help but to notice your mandolin. I think it is the finest one I, I have ever seen. I would love to see what you can do with it!"

Out of Character: Nikolaos picked up a tankard of sobriety so he can share drinks all day without getting impaired. Hoping to make people feel more comfortable for recruitment and hearing interesting rumors.
“Well said, Tazskan, and thank you. I think many of us here feel that way as well. Despite our challenges with group is the most family I’ve ever had, and wherever the Blaze is is my home. By my sword and my blood I will do all I can to protect you all.” He rests a gauntlet on his fellow Paladin’s shoulder for a moment.
“Poljen, I should say, How Lia wanted to handle the situation was one of my first concerns. She wishes Mari to stay, although I’m sure it is hard. What do you think, my friend? Your words carry great weight with us, always.”.
