Intros?

Auriel put aside her thoughts and was bringing up a mental list of things she wanted to do before putting Jack into the field, when Telebrin suddenly interjected, "So you two are siblings? I didn't know you had a brother."
"I have a lot of siblings, actually," Auriel muttered. "So, Jack, sorry, Ikan, @#$%." Auriel took a breath to collect herself. After a moment, she continued, "If you two are ready to go, I'd like to track down Isai and least arrange an appointment with him where we can make legal identities for you two. From there, we'll meet up with one of my agents who should be able to point us in a direction where we can find a slaver band to pick on."
When Jack indicated that he and LeLu were ready, Auriel led them out of the safe house after waving goodbye to Telebrin. Auriel was about to untie her horse, but then better of it. "Barble's place is not too far from here if I recall correctly," she explained to Jack and LeLu.
She then led the group through the streets of Radogast toward where she recalled the skilled hunter's shop being, hoping that Isai would still be there.

As they walked with Auriel aka Elthien Talagar, Jack aka Ikan and LeLu aka Mia saw the large number of locals moving all about Radogast. The town was full of various races but they seemed to see more humans than demi-humans. He also noticed that most of the locals were not very happy. They had a look of despair in their eyes as they avoided eye contact with anyone looking to have an air of wealth about them. It was obvious that all the joy of life had been sucked out of them. Now it seemed as if they were just surviving instead of living. As Jack looked around he realized how important the Rising Star was to the poor and down trodden. He planned to help his sister change things. His plan was not just one of revenge but it also would cause confusion among the powers of the Kingdom and cause them to attack each other so Auriel could capitalize on the situations. While posing as a merchant he and LeLu were going to create a flow of wealth to help the Rising Star. However LeLu would be the main brain behind the business aspect.

Eventually they arrive at the entrance of Barble's hunters shop. They followed her in and saw skins on the wall and Isai talking to Barble. The place had a ominous atmosphere about it as Barble was a skilled hunter and had the skins of some very dangerous creatures on display. If one was foolish enough to make him an enemy it would be unwise. So to make sure things worked out smoothly he would let Elthien do the introductions.
