The party trudges toward Awich; Faolan uses some of his remaining energy to cast a healing spell on Dima and on himself, enough to get them both through until they can rest.
Sen has a bounty in several towns, so evens he has one in Awich, odds he does not—
He does not!
So: the party arrives in a decently sized port village along one of the many rivers that flow from the north to join the canal to the south. The majority of the people here are wayfarers, travelers, emissaries, and those who profit from catering to passers-through.
There's a mingling of races here, and even some Gillmen from south of Morovsk can be seen working the docks. Those residents who don't serve travelers are fishermen, sailers, and general laborers of the types one would expect: blacksmiths, tailors, etc.
The town is controlled by Loch Bien, but locally run by a lessor lord whose title here is Magister; he has final say on all dictates of the town and surrounding farms, though these are few and far between.
Awich is at the edge of civilization; the forests that span the peninsula seem to threaten to overtake the town from the south, though much of it has been cut back to the north, where the road leads to Loch Bien.
So! What would everyone like to do?
<.>
Dima thinks it'd be a wise idea to secure housing before anything else; he is, however, low on ready funds.
So actually first q from me: Is there any way for Dima to access his family's money out here? I assume not.
Whatever the case, he'll ask if anyone has a preference for place of lodging.
Rin is looking around very innocuously. Definitely they aren't picking out places to potentially break into and loot. (Definitely they ARE doing this.)
<.>
Lucky for Dima, Sen has a talent for acquiring lodgings and food. Anywhere he performs, he seems to have accommodations just thrown at him.
So he recommends finding a modest tavern in Old Reach or along the river where he can work a little magic - which will be recounting stories of their exploits (with a little artistic license) and singing.

Rin will see plenty of pockets to pick and houses to rob.
The town square is one particular place where a talented thief can make a dishonest day's pay.
Sen will suggest deciding what among their spoils of war they can hawk for some fast coin.
Faolan, meanwhile, is decidedly quiet while all of this is being discussed. He's considering sneaking out to the forest and sleeping there.
[dm: Liviana's magic has returned their belongings to them because someone forgot they didn't have that shit.]
Faolan has a little coin of his own, though, and wherever Sen finds accommodations is where he'll pass tonight, at least.
<.>
Rin agrees to selling what they don't need. Their suggestion is hawk things, then find accommodations, then everyone can do just as they please!
[dm: It'll be up to Rin (and ahah you) to determine what's not needed.]
Dima doesn't look particularly eager to go about these mundanities, but he's also not about to let the thieves handle transactions alone. :/ He'd like to head to the docks; that'll wait. For now, he looks at Faolan and Messages: [ Care to help keep an eye on these two? ]
<.>
Faolan looks down at his clothes, muddied and covered in several kinds of gore, and back up at Dima again. He's too tired to make any kind of argument, however, and simply shrugs.
Awich: The dead all know; the dead all go.
