→ Examine:
Drake Skin> Shiny smooth skins that Mana harvested from ‘respawning drakes.’ They scales are smooth and somewhat protective, but their glossy sheen is definitely what draws the eye to them. She has 7 full hides in her possession and 9 scraps.
→ Examine:
Warriors Legion >The Warriors Legion is one of Lona’s longest living guilds, outlasted only by the Hunter’s Gathering. The Warriors Legion is considered by most as just a union for mercenaries, Allowing them to charge higher prices for jobs. A lot of members say the benefits are pretty good, even if dues are a bit steep.
→ Go Talk to Ano about the
Strange Old Woman along with contact information for his two assistants.
>After stopping at the Flagon for a quick clean up, Mana heads over to Ano’s tower. The excitable wizard is quite easy to find amongst his towers of books and experiments, due to his energetic humming and a habit of clinking his vials together.
Mana is startled to find a familiar face looking over Ano’s shoulder.
Ellie waves and smiles at Mana and taps on Ano’s side.

“HMM? Yes? OH! Mana! There you are! I want to introduce you to a colleague of mine! This is Ellie! An expert in Draconic and Sub-Draconic races! I remembered you were asking about drakes and I had heard that she was in town, so I asked her to come talk to you!”
Ellie laughs. “Surprised to see that yer the student Ol’ Ano was talkin’ about. Me and the kitty here ‘ave already met believe it or not! Dr. Ellie Kobols at yer service! If you need to know anything about dragons, sub-dragons, or dragonoids; come chat me up!” She gives a big grin.
Ano is surprised at the revelation, but glad that introductions went so smoothly. “So Mana what brings you to the tower?”
Mana nods and slowly approaches the topic of the strange old woman.
The two look at each other. Ellie gives a shrug, but Ano seems to have an inkling to what Mana is asking.
“I’ve heard some rumors about an old lady appearing in odd places. She offers Items in exchange for ‘aspects.’ I had a account for the city come in after taking one of her little deals. Came in for lessons on basic arithmetic! Super strange! Regardless, I’d be very careful about taking them!” (
Strange Old Woman: now even stranger! removed,
Dark dealings added
Mana nods in understanding. She also asks about his assistants, hoping to maybe finally meet them.
Ano Shakes his head. “Not today. They’re off gathering Elf root. May be on that job for several days. You could go out and meet them if you like!” He explains where to find his forlorn assistants.
→ Ask about how much a drake skin is worth.
> Ellie pops in to answer before Ano can start speaking. “The Kids in the tower were in very good health and had a good diet. Any full skins yeh woulda got off of them would be worth around 30 gold per piece.” She says with a bit of a bounce in her seat.
→ Go to Heikya and ask about her helping make a new outfit.
>Mana bids the experts goodbye and heads to Heikya to ask for help working with the drake leather. She sadly is unable to help but she recommends going to see a specific tailor on the outskirts of town. “Just…. Don’t mind the owner. She’s a lil’ strange, but she’ isn’t gon’ to cheat yah.”
Mana Heads to the location in question, finding a small shop. Walking in She finds a fairly nice little boutique. A lovely looking human lady stands behind the counter, greeting Mana.
“Hello Misss. What bringss you to my little shop today.”
Mana finds it a tad odd how the woman pronounces her ‘S’s but she attempts to not mind it too much. She asks the Woman about crafting together the drake leather into some leather fittings.

“Well that shouldn’t be ssuch a hasssle, essspecially ssince you have the material already… I’ll need ssix hids and maybe sseven scrapss to work with? And then 40 gold for my sservice charge.” She comes uot from behind the counter and takes some quick measurements. “Let me do ssome dessigning. I’ll show you some sketchess if you come back tomorrow!” The woman seems quite happy to do the work.
Mana thanks her and leaves, heading back to the Fiendish Flagon.
→ Check the Notice board
>Mana Decides she’s going to take a look at the Notice board to see if there are any new jobs that she can help out with. Some still remain from the last time, but a couple new ones have popped up since.
+ A farmer in need: seems a bunch of slimes have taken residence in his barn, and despite his best efforts he can’t get the little suckers to move out. he’s offering 40 gold to anyone that helps him out.
+ Assistant Drill Sergeant Wanted: With the wealth of new recruits for the town guard, their current instructor is a bit swamped. Help is appreciated and the town has budgeted out 100 gold a day for 7 days, and will consider more days of pay if the assistant proves to be especially good during those 7 days.
+ Predator scares local cattle: Hunt it down, remove the scare factor. Sweet and simple. pays 40 gold.
+ Curse Removal: Seems a client has a big issue. Not much explanation on this one, but the pay is a whopping 1000 gold, and the proviso ‘Be prepared for the long haul.’
+ Join the Warriors Legion: looks like a recruitment flier. Mana isn’t super interested, but makes a note of it none-the-less.
On her way out, she waves to the two former neko slaves. Heikya apparently has given them work.
→ Learn from Ano.
>Ano is pleased to teach Mana about a few of the world's many races. By the end of the day, she finds herself more knowledgeable about
Knolls.
After her lessons , she returns to the Flagon and sleeps till the next morning.
→ What does she do?

)
> Go talk to Ano.
> Go talk to Hiekya.
> Go buy something from the shops (specify).
> Other (Input Action).
