Renaldo heads to the bar with Dominic in close tow. Removing his hat in the close quarters of the crowded tavern he then quickly spots the Centaur from earlier in the day at the sign up line. OOC: (is that Aohdan?) he orders a glass of wine for himself and a mug of ale, is seen shaking his head and then two fingers are seen and then he points to the horse/man while grinnign broadly. A second mug of ale is drawn and both are taken by a serving girl to the centaur with a word of greeting from the 'leet gentleman/guardsman. If the he looks up to acknowledge Renaldo, he raises his glass of wine in a salute to Aohdan.
Dominic whispers low to Renaldo, "Can't say I've ever seen a centaur before. Guess that makes him the one you spoke of from the line. Do you think he and his companions are a threat to our lady?"

"I very seriously doubt that my friend. However, if they invite us to their table, we can learn of their intentions. Let us hope my two mug bribe gains us entry to their company."
Dominic nods but seems doubtful, "You, they know. I am but a stranger. Perhaps 'twould be best for you to join them alone, while I look elsewhere for potential dangers to our lady."

"You willl remain a stranger if you keep running from them," Renaldo says with a grin, "but i must agree that more can be learned by splitting up." he raises his glass in a salute to his friend.
Dominic returns the salute and says, "I'll be near if trouble finds you." With that and clap on the back, he stands and finds his way to another part of the tavern.
Aohdan looks quizzically at the serving girl as she explains and points out Aohdan's beer-benefactor. Recognizing the outlandishly attired fencer from the line earlier, Aohdan gives the man a broad grin and raises his mug "Ha! Many thanks, swishy-poker! I wish to speak to thee! Come hither, for it be far easier for thy gracile form to swim this sea of souls than for mine!"

Renaldo looks to Dominic with a shrug of "are you sure you don't want to join?" then heads over to Aohdan.
once he is within earshot where he does not need a booming voice that carries around half the world on a calm day, he grins and says, "It tis a good thing you are not a minotaur. then you would be like a bull in a china shop. Ha!
You did seem to have been coming in from traveling about town and looked a mite thirsty so, manners dictate and all..." he takes a sip of the vintage in hand, "Ah! fine vintage this. you can almost taste the kiss from a queen bee to the pollin gatherer in the spring of this fruits's growth. How may Renaldo D'Argaussi be of service to ye good sir?" he finishes his greeting with a flourishing bow.
Aohdan's face grows serious, and he leans in close so as not to be overheard. "I offer you a warning, sir. That mercenary in the line earlier, he has some associates- an older orcish fellow seems to be their leader. They intend to deliberately cheat, disqualifying themselves, but maiming other contestants so that their elite fellows have an easy path to lordship." Aohdan waits to see the man's reaction.
"No need to hurry there Alaric, I've heard a pair of fools speakin' 'f the price of our heads. Ah'nt think it be good idea to reveal all this information with a complete stranger like this woman." The dwarf narows his eyes "And she looks strange as well, I don't trust her, whoever she is"
OOC: You have earned a distrustful and stern dwarf! =D
"My name is Shayuri," the sorceress replies haughtily. "And I am no stranger. Alaric and I will be teaching at the same school of magic once these tournaments are over. I've already been thoroughly briefed, by Alaric himself I might add, on the situation with this haunted dagger, and I am only seeking to help."
She reaches behind her head and straightens her hair out, tucking it back behind her ears and shoulders.
"Now. If you want to retire someplace more private and talk in more detail, I'd be happy to accompany you."
"Good ol' Alaric loses his head every time he sees a woman, no wonder you've become his "friend". I still don't trust you, human" The dwarf replies, frowning.

Johen is shell-shocked at hearing that the 'Dagger' has been discussed to thrid parties but he opts not to react in public in fear that it might 'interest' even more people.
He tries to calm Muzdum a bit with a look on his face and says to Shayuri: "please do not be offended.. we're a bit on the rough side sometimes.. You're right, we ought to find a room more private to discuss.."
He then gestures to a wairtress to get them a room sorted and moves there with the group.

"That's rather presumptive of you. I'll have you know that the lass followed me away from the Arcane Academy, and I almost bumped into someone on the way t' the tourney signup. They invited us over t' talk, an' I can't rightly refuse someone like that fer somethin' so simple as talk. The, uh, person started questioning me about our earlier journey and what we ran into, an' they mentioned Azzy, so they a'ready knew stuff 'bout it. Even if I wanted to keep my trap shut, she would've heard somethin' about it from them."
He adds in Dwarven, looking at Muzdum "Relax, I didn't go blathering anything important, just a vague overview. Unlike Sir William, I don't just up and trust any lass what tramps up to me, corporeal or not, actin' all innocent and nice."
Then he mutters in Elven to the rest "And yeah, we ought to talk somewhere less open."

Immediately after Alaric's comment, Aohdan replies loudly "Oh yeah, we know all about you. All it takes is a pair of slender legs or twinkly eyes and you're all like <Bibberty-bibberty-bibberty!!!>" Aohdan crosses his eyes and flaps his lips with his index finger.
Shayuri angrily opens her mouth...then with visible effort shuts it again to swallow whatever rejoinder she'd been about to make.
She clasps her hands together over her stomach and says in much humbler tones, "I know none of you have reason to trust me...and I suppose given the nature of this thing, even have reason to distrust me. I really do want to help though. Is there a way I can earn the benefit of your doubts?"
