As Hellstrom stepped off of the boat onto the dock of the Waterdeep shipping port the smell of the "City of Splendors" assaulted his nose. Hellstrom had been in the wilderness for too long obviously and he was anxious to leave. However, he was close to running out of supplies since his recent stop in Mahn Tor, and had not had a chance to replenish his dried meat stores. As soon as he had his supplies he intended to leave the city behind and go back to what he was used to.
Before long his nose got used to the smell of city life and as he was wandering around in this unfamiliar pit of thieves and vagabonds looking for a grocer to get supplies from, he decided that he would stay the night in one of the many inns that he had seen. A rest in a good soft bed would be good after sleeping so long on the ground or on the deck of a merchant vessel.
After a delicious meal of roasted venison and securing a room for his use at a decent looking inn, Hellstrom found himself scouting out the city. He decided that he would be leaving through the north gate and heading northward as that area of land was covered by the thickest forest. Hellstrom wanted plenty of cover to keep out of the cold night air. After looking out the gates at the woodlands bit longer he turned back to the inn where he had left his bag and newly acquired supplies for that much needed rest.
