The information I've been tasked with gathering requires that I leave Caer Scima, and as I've yet to leave since arriving in the Drabwurld, I've been well provided for, until now. From what I understand, the Castle of Mair is a place of, ah -- commerce, so if you've any wealth to spare from your conquest of the city, would it be possible to ask for a sort of... stipend? Just enough to cover room and food for, say, a month?
