(if Roberts is cool with me taking the silver short sword cause I'm proficient and he can't dual wield it with his longsword, then yeah, I wanna sell the iron dagger. Just assume I sold it for what the shopkeep offered for it, zero bartering for simplicity sake in retconning the sale of it, just add the dagger minimum worth onto the haggled 70g sell price of everything. 👍)

(we should get rope at the merchants. 1g per 50 ft, maybe a 100-200 feet of it? Other than that there aren't many noteworthy items from what i can see looking at the list of things to buy the merchant has.)

(say I'm using the dagger/shortsword in the future. Can I hypothetically throw the dagger from a distance, then close that distance and attack with the short sword in the same turn.

(No. If you attack with a light weapon in one hand, you may use a bonus action to attack with a second light weapon in your other hand)

Cast comprehend languages and go into the tavern. I order by pointing since comprehend languages doesn't let you speak unknown languages and make a big enough deal about being the "foreign man" that people aren't as careful how they talk around me. I'm listening for rumors.

(here's my concern, the short sword can damage what the long sword can not, to have a weapon silvered is expensive, with my skills I can get an extra attack etc, so it's more or less like insurance atm until I can afford to get a long sword silvered, if you think we won't run into anything where I may need it, that's fine as I would only ever use it in specific situations, not my main go to weapon, hope that all makes sense, probably just being paranoid lol)
(since I can't dual, long sword and shield)

(Oh boy, time to split the party @kinder, yes you can cast it as a ritual)

The Church Party

Atop a slight rise, against the roots of the pillar stone that supports Castle Raven loft, stands a gray, sagging edifice of stone and wood. This church has obviously weathered the assaults of evil for centuries on end and is worn and weary. A bell tower rises toward the back, and flickering light shines through holes in the shingled roof. The rafters strain feebly against their load. The heavy wooden doors of the church are covered with claw marks and scarred by fire.

What imagery that remains intact and noticeable from the outside of the church, Eikka and Snerp discern that the local religion revolves around the sun and the moon, or alternatively, day and night.

The Tavern Crew

A single shaft of light thrusts illumination into the main square, its brightness looking like a solid pillar in the heavy fog. Above the gaping doorway, a sign hangs precariously askew, proclaiming this to be the Blood on the Vine tavern. A blazing fire provides a welcome warmth to the few huddled souls within. At the bar is a pudgy little barkeep who stares into the distance, mindlessly cleaning classes. In a far corner, with a good view of the door (and the bar as a whole) are three Vistani, who take note of the Drow (and others) and whisper to each other in hushed tones.

The last patron is a young man, with pale skin and blond hair, who sits by himself at a corner table, sipping his wine. He also regards the Drow (and others) and watches the interaction.

The barkeep pays Luraxt little mind at the attempt at charades. He simply fills a semi-clean glass with wine and pushes it forward, without ever looking at Luraxy. In a flat, monotone voice, he mutters. One copper.

After Luraxt pays (or not) he (she?) notices the pale man in the corner attempting to get his (her?) attention.

here's my concern, the short sword can damage what the long sword can not

(They both do the same kind of damage? So if something can't be damaged from a LS via piercing/slashing. the short sword won't do anything either?)
