@Gregor: Captain Marpa wasn't at her office. She wasn't in her troops' dining hall either. She was, however, outside, her soldiers saddling the horses and tying supply bags to their sides. Marpa was on the side, arguing with no one else than Aaron, with some young, armor-clad man behind the latter.

"I told you, Aaron, I won't be taking Alexander with me. He is a damned armour knight, not a cavalier. He will crush the horse under him!"

"You're exaggerating, Marpa. Torres wears full armor and his horse doesn't even budge." Marpa sighed and rubbed her face with her left hand, before pinching her nose for a second.

"But Torres' horse was bred for carrying knights. Besidies, Alexander is not even in my troops. You know that I don't like newcomers, even if they're your soldiers." Aaron was going to respond, but then he noticed Gregor, and the rest of the mercenary group, behind him.

"It's you, guys? You need something from me?"

Guess who is in; yes, Alexander Jorinn!

"It's better if they don't know I've sent you. Pose as some of Eor's friends or something. Or his soldier band. Or his family, I don't care - bring me the Dragonstone."

26598
"One more thing." Prixima said as the group prepared to leave.

"Captain Marpa and her riders are leaving for Fezzan in less than an hour. Tell her that I'm ordering her to give you a lift. This way you should be in Fezzan by tomorrow's morning."

26599
Prixima chuckled.

"No."

26600
Prixima narrowed her eyes and a wrinkle appeared on her forehead.

"I might have a few."

26601
Prixima frowned.

"I don't pay attention to outside when I'm busy. A pity, he looked like a strong boy. Well then, that's third leader since I recruited the group. I will never deal with Mercians again." She rubbed her forehead and straightened the note in her hands.

"Neither Eor nor his mansion had my family's Dragonstone. Because of that, I had to shuffle through my... notes to search for a clue. In his young age, Eor served as a temple guard in the Temple of Scriptures. It's actually a big library filled with monks and mages, and books of course, in eastern part of Fezzan. According to one report, Eor was there two weeks ago."

"One propability is that he moved the stone to the Temple, or left it under guard of one of his temple friends. You will go there, search around, and, if needed, turn the temple upside-down. If you find the Dragonstone, bring it to me so I can give you the reward. If not... come back to me and we will try something else. Is that understood?"

Two minutes later.

Prixima sat down at her desk, eyeing the mercenary group as her hands held a large, yellowed note. She squinted her eyes, tilted her head a bit and then grimaced slightly.

"And where's Adrien? Why your group always have leadership problems?"

26603
Just as Christopher returned to the group, a young soldier approached Olison and saluted.

"Sir, Lady Prixima calls the mercenaries back to her study. Apparently it's something important."

26604
You should take note that yer CON allows you only 4 items.

In few sheets I had to drop 'vulnerary (1/3)' to make place for all those new tools of murder :P And no, I don't drop items to make place for weapons that will be traded next moment :P

26605
Bows, there were plenty - iron and steel-wrought, few longbows as well. There was also only a few iron crossbows at one counter.

26606
@Christopher: The soldiers shrugged and uncrossed their spears.

"Go check if you want. Remember to write down in ledger if you take anything."

26607
@Christopher:

The soldiers looked at Christopher, and then at each other.

"Yeees?"

26608
After a brief moment, Olison slowly rejoined the group, hugging some weapons with him and almost tripping over the javelins.

26609
There was a ton of iron weapons, some steel weapons, and few crates of vulneraries. Also, the giant acquisition ledger, all pages divided for names, dates, and items taken.

@Erryone:

Tantallos, Seyena and Valor reunited with the mercenaries just as two soldiers loaded Adrien's body on a stretcher and carried it away toward small, stone building in the corner of the courtyard. One other soldier began swiping the ground with a broom, pushing dirt onto the large pool of blood, to cover it.
