"I cannot say exactly how long we will be staying, but it likely will not be as long as last time, unfortunately. I am afraid the...task we are undertaking is time-sensitive." Meesei answered. "We will probably end up staying as long as it takes to sell what we have gathered, then find a ship going to the Imperial City. Depending on when the next ship is leaving, it might only be a few days. As we mentioned before, we have been hunting and scavenging constantly for the past few weeks to scrounge up enough to trade. Even so, we will likely be cutting it uncomfortably close to not earning enough to book passage. If you would like to help, what we could use most is advice on where to get the best price for our goods, and where to get the most inexpensive lodging. We have also been collecting ingredients, but Sabine's alchemical equipment was destroyed in a fire, so she has not been able to make more complex potions. If you could allow her to use your equipment for potion-making, that would be helpful. Unless you want to purchase the ingredients from us yourself. Much of what we found is from the inner swamps, so we may have ingredients not found in this area."
