"My name is Jehennady'Aashta, though Jehen is well enough for common use," the young woman replied mildly. "And while I tend to be a bit of a specialist in arcane matters, I am fully trained in more mundane investigative techniques." For a moment she turned her attention to the others gathered around, her gaze lingering speculatively over the unusual -looking warforged. "And what of you all- what skills have you?"
She paused, then nodded respectfully towards the hobgoblins. Her voice rasped out a few words in the Goblin tongue, with a conspicuous orcish accent.
(Speaking Goblin):
Spoiler:
"You lads look like stout fellows. Both warriors, then, or perhaps a bit more to have come so far as Sharn's bright lights?"
Mornokai's sleek eyebrows quirk in confusion at the warforged's words and as the Gnome moves towards the door, no doubt ready to be off, he remarks reassuringly, 'Well perhaps you'll allow me to call you ForeBee?'
Sweeping the bar with an anxious gaze, the Sivis bondsman raises his voice once more in a high pitched query, 'Three folk have agreed to aid me, any other takers?!?'
ooc; i'd like to wait for at least one more, also it looks like the group will be without a healer....yikes!

"Well Mr. Etchstone, if your pay is good, I, Raekz Krusst, professional troubleshooter, am at your service. I do investigations, murders, robberies, escorts, and more. Rat catching included, it seems." Turning back to the dwarf, he apologises with a shrug and open palms at his sides, "Apologies Constable, but you know, rats and sewers will always be there, and we do have a robbery case here. Perhaps later we could assist you with your rat problem."
As he gets up to head over to join the motley crew beside the gnome, he turns back and looks at Kaz, asking in Goblin "Coming along?"
Obviously pleased that another self described 'investigator' is on the case, Mornokai bows, the long purple tail of his hat flipping over his head and then arching back up again as the gnome rises, remarking, 'Wonderswell! You are most welcome, Mr. Krusst! Come, let us adjourn outside to better get to know one another.'
Shooting a glance to the rest of those in the bar, Mornokai Etchstone calls 'Any others who wish to join us, come outside posthaste!'
With that, the gnome quickly strides back out of the tavern.

A small halfling looking individual steps out of the shadows from the corner of the room and addresses the group.
"My name be T'Leaf, At this moment, i am hard pressed to find the time to join you on your little gathering, i am awaiting my confirmation papers, from the previous en devour. If these papers are received before your quest begins, i would be delighted to lend my hand to help with your situation"
With that the small halfling folds back into the shadows of the inn.
Just about out the door, the Mornokai halts for a moment and shoots a look over his shoulder as the previously hidden halfling begins to speak, quickly responding, 'We'll be outside for a few moments yet, perhaps you can join us, Mr. T'Leaf.'
With that, the gnome leaves the Tavern.

Mornokai chuckles, his oval face breaking into wrinkles as he responds, 'That was quick! Come then, let us all adjourn! I'll reveal the details on the way. We should hurry!' anxiety creeps back into the gnome's voice as he finishes.
ooc; okay, with 5 pcs committed, three lvl 1 and two lvl 3, I'll have to cap it there. Posting the tracking thread soon.

Kendra looked after the departing humanoids, bemused by this turn of events. Then she returned her attention to the dwarf.
The thick wooden door of the tavern opens, revealing the large form of a heavily armed and armored soldier, his conical helm dull in the overcast light of Sharn's rainy day.
Striding in and gazing around defiantly, a large battered shield in one hand, the long haft of some kind of polearm poking out from behind his broad back, Wulfcyne Dabo mutters, 'Damn'd Boltrails. If'n I never ride one again, t'will be too soon.'
Lumbering over to the bar, the human removes his helm and gently places it upon the wooden counter, long sweat soaked dark hair spilling out over his wide shoulders as the obvious solider gets Brews attention and orders a cold Brelish ale.
Marking the Dwarf who stands at attention in the main room, Wulfcyne collects his drink and retreats to a secluded table, no doubt waiting for his next job to be revealed.

A young human woman, a teenager really, quietly enters the Inn. Anyone watching will notice her bright copper colored hair spilling down her shoulders over her white robes.
Hello again Brews. A glass of white wine please.
Glancing around the room, Nuria Perrin D'Cannith spots her former traveling companion Wulfcyne.
Hello Wulfcyne. I'm glad to see you made it safely. she greet the warrior.
Flicking stormy eyes towards the young girl, a rare smile passes across Wulfcyne's scarred face, nodding in hello and sipping his water, holding his peace.

As the evening sets in, for another what could yet turn out to be a peaceful night in Sharn, A lone figure enters through the door.
A tall slender elf stands by the entrance scanning the room as if checking out the local gathering. He appears to be looking for someone imp articular.
The figure glides to the bar, continuously scanning the room, and jumping at every single sound.
The elf approaches the bar are and stands off to one corner, with his back to the wall, scanning the room once again before turning to the barkeep, and stating in a loud but smooth voice so that most of the bar can hear him ...
"My name is kevgretor Arborshale, I have been told this is the best place in town to come and hire some security, Do you know of anyone who is trustworthy and good enough to complete this task. The pay is good?"

The harsh rumble of a voice sound from across the room, a seated human male in a bulky breastplate with a faded griffin emblazoned across the chest, 'This one is good enough. Will there be much danger?"
A tall dirty helm sits upon the table before him, a long black iron tipped trident leaning close by, while a bulky pack lays at the man's booted feet.

The elf studies the burley male, with an eager eye, before responding "i know not what danger lurks ahead, only that it is there, if you wish to become part of my security detail, i welcome you to accompany me, i will inform you of the situation once i have obtained a few more willing soles"
With that, he turns to the bar again, orders a drink and continues to wait for any other taker.

Nuria notes with interest Wulfcyne's response to the newcomer. She simply sips her wine and watches for a few minutes, trying to get a feel for this potential employer.
