Broad Arrow Jack presents Crypt of the Everflame [IC Thread]

Broad Arrow Jack

First Post
The hearthfires of two stone fireplaces provide a welcome glow to the Seven Silvers taproom, and a ward against the chill winds which blow briskly outside. It is the the 3rd of Neth, and the evening before the big day to follow...the launch of the Quest of the Everflame. Tonight, Mariana Silvers has been given the evening off from her usual duties at the Seven Silvers in order to relax and make preparations for her departure on the morrow. Asina, scurrying by with a tray full of dirty mugs and plates, sticks her tongue out at her elder sister in mock resentment.

From his stool on the other side of the bar, Short Change catches Mariana's eye and gives her a wink and a smile. Over the din of the crowded room, the halfling calls out, "Hey now, don't look so nervous lass, you'll be just fine. You'll be in good company, what with that brickhouse of a blacksmith's apprentice, Holgast's pointy-eared pupil, and of course, your fire-hearted Corus. And, after all, it's not like you haven't picked up a trick or two of your own from somewhere or t'other. Mayor Uptal even hinted there might be a fifth person on your little trek, did he not? You've nothing to worry about, except p'rhaps a cold dinner if the rest don't get here soon." A call for another round at the bar diverts Short Change's attention, leaving Mariana to watch the door and wait for her friends and companions to arrive.

OOC: Alright, here we go. This meeting in the tavern is a chance for the fledgling heroes to get to know one another a bit better, and get some role-playing in before the sending-off ceremonies of the next day.

The taproom door slams open, revealing the large, powerfully built form of Anundr Valkrsson, the smith's apprentice. He steps into the place, brushing his long, wind-tossed blond hair out of his face with one massive hand. He glances around at the faces of the village folk, and then strides toward the bar. He removes his heavy cloak, made of oiled leather and lined with the fur of a black bear, and tosses it over a stool. "Ale," he says, his voice carrying a strong baritone note.

Elandril smoothly follows the apprentice blacksmith into the tavern. Joining his companion at the table he orders wine with a wink at Mariana. "Will you be serving or joining us tonight? " Turning to Anundr,he asks "can you believe they chose US for the ceremony?"

"Ale for the conquering hero! On the house, of course!" laughs Short Change. The curly-haired halfling slings a tall, frothy mug down the bar towards the huge barbarian. "Mariana should have a table ready for you already. Dinner will be served soon enough, my lad. Make yourself comfortable."

Asina, the younger Silvers sister, swiftly brings a glass of good red wine at Elandril's request. She pauses just long enough to give Mariana a plaintive roll of the eyes, before being summoned away again to a different table. With the taproom short one sister, Asina has been scrambling all night to keep up.

Anundr accepts the mug of frothy ale with a grunt of thanks, gathers his cloak, and moves to join the others at the table. He takes a large quaff of his drink as he sits. "It is an honor to be chosen for this task," he says in answer to Elandril's question.

"Yes, quite." Elandril responds. He raises an eyebrow to Mariana, "Do you plan on holding the door open all night? Come join us."


OOC: Queenie come out and play.
 

Queenie

Queen of Everything
Mariana smirks at her sister as she joins Anundr and Elandril, sliding into the booth next to the larger man. She was taking a secret pleasure in watching her sister scurry which was easily concealed by her excitement over her coming adventure.

"Of course, how can I not enjoy the excellent food and drink and service here tonight? Why, I have a feeling I will be parched and need constant drink refilling. How about you boys?" she grins, waving to her sister for an ale.

"Indeed," agrees Anundr, draining his mug in a single long pull, and then motioning toward Asina for a refill.

A chill swirls across the booth as the door opens yet again as a handsome young man steps through the door and closes it behind him, restoring warmth to the room. Corus' eyes linger on the fire for a moment as he touches the silver sun around his neck, a smile plays across his face. He glances around the room and spying his friends heads over to the booth. He greets them all heartily, but his eyes linger on Mariana longer than the others.

"Are you all as excited as I am? Asina an ale please when you have a moment." he calls out.
