With the grand theft of wolf and skirmish out of the way, Billie's ended up settling the wolf — for now — in some agreed upon basement in a currently abandoned building. The building itself had been burnt down in the first orcish assault but the stone cellar itself, she found, is sturdy enough. It'll do for a night or two, it's out of sight, and they can light a few lanterns without too much worry.

Getting the wolf settled somewhat comfortably is her first and foremost task. It seems content to sleep after its long incarceration back at the camp, making it a heck of a lot easier than expected. That done, she leaves people to look the wolf over and goes fishing around in her own supplies for a map of the city and its surroundings.

That's the other reason she's picked this building. It's far enough from the warcamp and in a unique enough spot for her to be able to tell whether her shiny new trinket is working or not.

"Alright, move over," she tells whoever is closest to the wolf before settling down to sit by it. She leaves enough room to lay the map out, placing rocks on the ends to keep it from curling before she pulls the necklace out. It isn't her style to wear jewelry usually but she's made an exception for this. To anyone with a decent eye for magical artifacts, that pendant there? That is definitely a scrying stone.
