Sharn Tavern: The Tower's Shard '08

[Bront]

The Tower's Shard
In Clifftop, a few blocks from the famous Clifftop Adventurer's guild, lies a popular spot called The Tower's Shard. The common street wisdom is that the Tower's Shard is a brewery and inn whose owner was a rich adventurer who died in the war and left the establishment to his servant, a warforged named Brews.

Brews, in little need of money, ran the establishment in the will of his former master. The tavern has loose policies on weapons, wands, and other adventuring gear, which combined with a discount for adventurers who can tell a good tale makes the Tower's Shard a popular stop for rising adventurers who are low on coin but high on spirit and eager to pursue conversation with other adventurers.

True to his name, Brews is a master brewer, and is widely known for his Grilled Red Herring, and a special mixed drink he calls the McGuffin. Brews quite enjoys listening to tales of adventure, and he is able to sit and listen to adventurers' old war stories for hours on end and remain fascinated, a quality which endears him to the more long-winded sort of adventurers particularly.

"Did anyone get injured? I hope not. I have never heard of Evile Mucus that does sound discussion"

[InVinoVeritas]

"I'd like to hear about that evil mucus. Sounds terrible, but it could prove useful in a trap design I'm working on."

Balnibar clears his throat. "As long as it isn't too evil, I suppose."

[Solange]

"It had something to do with the Delkers, or something like that," Lily said. "We were able to pull them out just fine, but I don't think they would have lasted too much longer if we hadn't."

[Solange]

Lily sips her milk.

Brews rubs the counter to a shine.

"Where do you hope your future adventures might take you? I hear Xen'drik is amazing!!"

[Solange]

"I just like the excitement, and want to be a famous hero. I guess I'll go where ever that takes me." Lily says.

[Mellubb]

"What about you Balnibar? What are you adventuring goals?"

[InVinoVeritas]

Balnibar gleams. "Well, I'm a Jiminyblivet. We Jiminyblivets have been in the dungeon design business for centuries. Sure, a lot of them happen naturally, ruins, caves, and the like. However, when a certain special customer needs a twisting maze and diabolical traps to protect something, they turn to us. We go in, set up traps, help out in ecologies, bore out the side of a mountain, all the things people need. In the end, the customer gets a challenging fortress worthy of the name Jiminyblivet.

Myself, my specialties are in traps and weaponry. But I'm still quite new to the whole business--my greatest work to date was a barn rigged to fall and crush a giant monster. So, I'm testing myself in the field, exposing myself to others' work. One day... I hope to be a master designer, able to craft such wonders as the Diabolical Vault of d'Kundarak!"

Balnibar coughs. "I've probably rambled on a bit much, though. How about you, Michael? What convinces you to risk life and limb?"

[Solange]

Lily orders a bowl of oatmeal, and proceeds to giggle to herself as she draws little pictures with the honey in the oatmeal before she eats it.

OOC: It's Mathew.

"Ever since I was a young boy I was taught that one of these" He says as he rubs his dragon mark "would make me special. That I would use its power to help the world. But curuption has ruined any chance of my House doing anything except get more power. I seek to rid my House of this curuption and unite it once again to do good for this world."

[Moggthegob]

At this point a Half orc male clad in Hide armor and with an orc double axe on his back walks into the bar and looks around. discourage he pulls out a piece of paper and sort of enunciates [color=cyan] Lily, Raven, Stulgar, and Siobhan, are any of those people here.[/cyan]

[Manzanita]

Raven has been sitting in silence at the back of the inn, scowling, and evidently lost in thought. He raises her dark eyes suspicoiusly at the orcs words. Seeing her friends nearby, she has no fear. She stands and marches forward, back straight. "I am Raven Thorn. What business have you with me and my friends?"

[Moggthegob]

The big orc walks over to Raven and reaches out his hand to shake hers. he then goes up to the bar signals for a drink and begins talking The name is Gene Task, of House Tharashk. I am here because a tribe of gatekeepers gave me your name as people who have navigated the Shadow Marches successfully in the past. You see, I am a bounty hunter with House Tharashk and I have been assigned two different marks at once, both fleeing in opposite directions. The man I am chasing is hiding out here for a while before heading for what I am almost certain will be the Mror Holds and then making the jump to Q'Barra to escape me. However, thats not why I am here. My other mark is an Ogre name krepis and he is fleeing through the Shadow marches. Before i give you any details, would this be something you would be interested in. If you catch him I will give you the bounty.

[Manzanita]

Raven smiles, showing her white teeth. "This is just the sort of work we can do." Raven gestures towards a table near a corner. "Come sit and tell more about this ogre."

[Moggthegob]

Brews hands Gene a McGuffin and Gene follows Raven over to the table. " Very well, it is a fairly simple find and catch mission. The Ogre's name is Krepis and he has been in the employ of the House for a few years now working at a Dragonshard prospecting field, mostly doing manual labor. Is there a problem with Lily, Stulgar and Siobhan? I would like for them to be present while I explain?"

[Solange]

"I'm here. I'm Lily." she says, finishing up her Oatmeal. She hands her bowl to Brews and joins the others.

"Is he dangerous? Do you want him alive? What did he do?" Lily asks.

*Siobhan heads over as well.*

"If this Ogre has done something vile, then we would be happy to assist in his capture."

Stulgar nods to his sisters words but says nothing.
