A Holiday For Gearsie
-
Word spreads among Gears's friends that he plans to take a trip back to Luiren. The blond halfling expects to be gone for around a year, and says that he'll be having a last hurrah in the Regal Whore before his departure, at his expense.
-
With extra ruffled hair, a few new scars, and extra careworn boots, Gears appears to have returned. If asked about his trip, he launches into a rant about how "th' soddin' jungles of Chult" are "rubbish", and continues to speak about the various methods of how they should be dealt with until his audience either leaves in disgust or gives him a drink to shut him up.

sidles up next to Ael
He'll be back in about a year. He's been plannin' this trip for a while. Got any work for me?
-
When Ael hears of the departure, he mutters, "Damn, I guess he did not want the job."

On a clear sunny day, when the commons was bare, Watchman Basha says she saw Gears perch, crouched atop the lamp post nearest the gate, before suddenly leaping down and nearly sprinting out of the gates, a wide grin on his face.
The empty alcohol bottles, odds and ends, and slightly emptier pockets that were usually left in his wake are gone. Gears has, for now, left.
