 They continued on and made it through the forest and camped just on the other side of it. The evening passed without event. They woke and made their way to Almraiven. They reached it early that evening. They went straight to Veoden's tower. They knocked and he came to the door a little bleary-eyed. He seemed a little confused but when Pyreece spoke up saying, "We're back!", his confusion cleared and he invited them in. Pyreece told him about what had happened to Arowain. He took the news hard. They told him about Daresh, the coin, and everything that happened while they were there. He was definitely concerned when he heard about the coin. He invited them to stay for the evening while he removed himself to researched the coin and what it meant. The party spent the evening resting as they had before when they were here. The night passed without incident.  They woke and made breakfast and Veoden joined them. He told them that the coin Arowain had made was an item of great power. The power of the coin continues to grow as long as the owner lives.
-Veoden said, "Further more, using the coin will corrupt the wielder to embrace and turn towards even more evil. It sounded like Daresh was already there. If they have any tendencies toward mercy, peace, or goodness, it corrupts them entirely. Normally, this is not too concerning as the coin is usually so powerful, that it destroys anyone who tries to use one after only a few weeks. However, in this case, with Daresh, and the way it became part of her, this is not going to be the case. The coin will not destroy her as it is now part of her. The two will feed off each other and that will keep her alive and her power will continue to grow and get even stronger.". They talked more about this Halaam that Arowain had told them about. He didn't know this person but thought that he knew someone that would be able to help them find him. He told them, "There is a wizard in the city of Calimport, to the west. His name Geolain. He is a friend of mine from days past, very good man, and very good at getting information. He's amazing. He seems to know everything. He should be able to tell you how to locate Halaam.".

 It was then that Veoden said, "Oh, forgive me!", as he ran back out of the room. He came back with the payment for the Mythral. The payment included 100 gold for a pound of Mythral and another 100 gold for trying to help Arowain and for the information about the coin. He offered to identify any magic items that they had found along the way. He said, "There isn't much I can do but I can do that, as a reward for something that was supposed to be a simple thing but turned out to be a much more dangerous thing than anticipated. Daresh knows who you are now. She is going to be a great threat to the community". They had noticed toys about the tower and found out that Veoden had an 8 year old son which prevented him from traveling or adventuring.  Oglesby asked, "What would be the best way to travel to Calimport, take a boat?". Veoden told him that yes, he strongly urged them to go by ship. He could go with them to the harbormaster and see what kind of arrangements might be made. Maybe there is a merchant ship going to Calimport. It's a common occurrence. Almraiven is a stop-over port on the way to Calimport. There is a fair chance that they could pickup passage on a ship heading there in the next day or so. It would be a much shorter journey. A ship can probably make that trip in 7 days where and overland might be more like 15 days and be much more dangerous. He added that he could assist with that as well.
