In the Trade Hall

[Arianna]

*Arianna enters the Trade Hall, pulling her small wagon of items. She enters Aelorn's Workshop, and then exits about an hour to an hour and a half later. Then she stands in the Trade Hall, somewhat out of the way, looking around and seeming a bit lost. She then takes out a slip of paper with a small amount of writing on it and looks for someone whom works there.*

[Jon]

A porter moving supplies to active workstations passes Arianna a few times. After about the third trip past, he stops and approaches the halfling woman.

"Can I help you miss?"

[Arianna]

"Oh, I'm looking for these." *She shows him her piece of paper* "I feel a little silly because I've been here so many times, but I've never been to an area that would have them."

[Jon]

The porter looks at the paper and hands it back to Arianna.

"For seeds you can probably find a farmer out past the south gate who could help you. For the miners, I'd suggest talking to the dwarves who Lord Gaverek hired to build the sewer tunnels. They'd probably know where to find some miners."

The porter picks up the sack of wool he was carrying and continues on his way.

[Arianna]

"Thank you!" *She takes the handle of her wagon and goes home.*

[Arianna]

--After an hour or so--
*Arianna returns to the trade hall, devoid of her usual jewelry and staff, but carrying a pack slug across her shoulder and the same rectangular object wrapped in paper. She pays for a red crystal, and approaches the portal.*

[Arianna]

*After a short while, she gets in line to use the portal. She waits patiently for her turn.*

[Jon]

A clerk with a logbook greets the halfling as she approaches the portal.

"Good-Day Ms. Arianna. Where are you headed today and what is the nature of your travel?"

[Arianna]

"I'm headed to a hermit's house in the woods and it is for business."

[Jon]

The clerk writes a line down in his ledger, and gives Arianna a smile and a nod.

[Arianna]

*Arianna gives a wave to the clerk and then steps through the portal.*
