Kane hold out his hand for the promised advance in coin.
"What's this reliable lad's name?", he asks, making only a token effort to keep the sarcasm out of his voice.
Sigfried frowns momentarily, but then his characteristic smile returns and he says
"Excellent! If that book is still out there, I'm certain you boys can find it." He says "Wait here, I'll be back in a moment." After a quick trip to his home, he returns with a bulging pouch. He glances for a moment at Kane, then hands the pouch to Albrecht.
"There you go. 30 gold each, that should help your preparations. The outfitters should have any normal goods that you might require."
Smiling at Kane he says
"Theobald. Theobald is his name. He lives with his grandparents just outside of town. I'll send for him to meet you tomorrow, assuming he approves. I am pretty certain he will, he's been quite anxious to do something adventurous. I'll see to it that he's equipped suitably as well. He's a trustworthy young man, and as honest and hardworking as they come."
Moving to Zapolas, he produces a sturdy leather wrapped scroll tube and presses it into the Elf's hand.
"Inside you'll find two scrolls. Both are the same, use these if you encounter a portal or lock that you can't bypass." (2 scrolls of Knock)
Offering an outstretched hand to shake with each of you, he says
"I assume you'll be leaving tomorrow or thereabouts. I'll meet you at the gasthaus tomorrow morning with some details to help you find the location, and to answer any last questions that you might have."
