Varos will head to Baldar and see if he can purchase some healing potions and then head to the open market to buy some rations before going to the Biting Bitters.

Despite what he said about fermented beverages, Benford will absentmindedly walk over to the Temple of Geach.

Benford wanders over to the Temple of Geach the Spearwielder. A muscular human man of middling age with a thin black beard and a scowling expression approaches you. He wears green robes and a gray stole, carries a spear with him, and wears the holy symbol of a silver spearhead.
"Welcome friend, I see you are new to Fanetide. What brings you here?" he says. His voice is calming and yet gruff all at once.

Mole orders Black Forest Brew and tries to blend in with locals telling the hard-to-believe story about his last adventure. He hope to eventually hear some rumors about abandoned dragon treasure and if it is not mentioned outright will start asking about it directly after the second pint

Biscuit orders the Redcap Pieces and the white wine. He then works on getting drunk as quickly as possible. He starts buying drinks for everyone.

The Biting Bitters seems to come alive with the arival of Mole and Biscuit. In fact, a young man with a high sweet voice begins a song:
March of the Last Fenguard
Oh the Fenguard were fearless, or so the tale’s telling,
They followed bold Arma through muck and through mire;
With bells from Yusala a‑ringing like thunder,
They marched into Blackscale with iron and fire.
(The Lute and violin, accompanied by a drum, play while a blushing red haired lass and a curly haired lad dance to the tune.)
Chorus:
Hey! Fanetide stands!
Hey! Fear no night!
For Gias still guards us—
Stand, Fenguard, stand!
(the patrons "clink" their tankards and drink!)
They cracked the Darkfang and scattered their warriors,
They drank from the bog‑wells and bragged of their might;
But none of those heroes saw Eclipse a‑waiting,
A black‑hearted dragon born hungry for spite.
(An older couple also joins the dance
/Chorus/
She came in the night like a storm full of poison,
She melted the hillfort to shimmering glass;
The Fenguard all fled — save for Gias the steadfast,
Who hurled up his spear as she swooped overhead’s pass.
/Chorus/
So stomp with your boots and keep time with your tankards,
For Gias who faced her with courage unshaken;
And shout to the mountains where dragons lie dreaming —
We’re Fanetide folk, and we won’t be forsaken.
/Chorus/

"Listen friend," he says, "I am looking for aid to protect the town. The local militia is barely able to defend the town from goblin raiding parties that have been making midnight raids on us. They appear to be under the command of one or more lizardmen. Three militia members and seven villagers have already been slain, and two homes sacked. I can offer to pay your outfit a once time payment of 100 gold pieces each and I can offer you free lodging in return for your aid for as long as you need it. You needn't answer now, I realize you need to speak with your companions. On the morrow then," he says. He heads inside to work at his kiln.

Mole tries to remember with way from this swap are any mountains, but decided to rather order another drink and start telling locals about the easy fight that wan't even a fight with goblins and a single lizardman. He then asks So how it goes goblins are operating so close to your village? Were we just "lucky" to meet the only goblins in the region?
