Grondar

"Hey, Grondar, does he look like we see him some before?" The barbarian keeps his voice low, nodding at the bard.

Yep, saw him in the sleeping sailor last night, it seems the fellow is quite popular in this town.
Grondar eyes the bard but say nothing more.

She begins to weep quietly. "I would like to see his body before they bury it," she says, wiping at her tears. "And I'll take his effects, if you don't mind...."

Once the innkeeper composes herself, Colmarr adds, “I don’t know if you really want to see him ma’am... it’s not a pleasant sight. As to the scuffle... I’m not so sure of that myself. Remember the two thieves we chased from the ship that night... perhaps their master demanded what the captain was trying to sell for a lesser price or in fact that he should just give it to them.”
Malachi agrees with Colmarr, "Yes, certainly not a pleasant sight. I'm not sure there are any items on his body that the fire didn't consume, but I assume you're free look through most of the items in his cabin. Of course, we wouldn't prevent you from taking a look at the body either, before it's set to sea."
Mallak said:
"Well. Do you know who did this? No, of course not, or you'd have killed them already. You mentioned someone named Adonai?"
Malachi nods, "Yes, Adonai is my deity. He is a kind deity who calls for the protection of the weak--the poor, tired, hungry, downtrodden, or unwanted--really, all people, a respect for nature, and for his people to be generous. He opposes such evils as pride and greed. He has a beautiful land full of wonderful creatures and scenery and other riches that he wants other good people to enjoy with him. I'm not sure how to get there or how to take others there, but maybe when one passes away, Adonai takes him there."

"That sounds lovely. Do you think Adonai was Ben's god, too? It would be nice to think of him existing somewhere wonderful like that. Ben always did have a heart for those weaker than himself." Here she almost breaks down again, but catches herself. "Well, I thank you gentlemen for coming. If you'll excuse me, I have an inn to attend to." She rises, smoothing her skirts. "Shall I send Eloise up with some dinner, or will you be joining us in the common room? You're welcome to stay and hear the bard. A marvelous musician, perhaps the last left in Tortila."

“And thank you for your hospitality, especially with the sad news we’ve brought you,” Colmarr replies with a sympathetic smile. “Hmm, well we’ve left a few companions downstairs by the look of things, so I think we’ll relocate to the common room... plus I’m always a bit partial to hearing a song or two myself, and I think we could all do with a little cheering up.”

Mag nods his agreement, still trying to avoid eye contact with the burly matron.
 

Malachi looks around a bit, "Well, we should also be getting to our ship fairly soon. I'm not sure how safe it is when there's no one there."

Glancing at Magyar, Colmarr winks and smiles, as his silence seems to have allowed him to avoid further questions about Eloise.

“Well, I’m sure that Gaurdsman Lieutenant Craeterre will be vigilant, Malachi, now there’s no fire to distract him from his duty. Nevertheless, we’ll head back shortly just to be on the safe side,” Colmarr offers, as they head downstairs.
 

The group heads down stairs. The bard is finishing up his song and beginning another, more spirited piece of instrumental music.

[sblock=OOC]Well, I don't have much else for this evening. Does the crew have any other matters they wish to take care of?[/sblock]
 

meanwhile

Denther will stump over to the dice player and ask if he can sit.


OOC: Sorry i haven't been posting much, my computer is in the shop (borrowing my wifes' now). I'll try to keep up.
 

Colmarr and Magyar recognize the bard as the same minstrel who, the night before, played at the Sleeping Sailor. There was something funny then, and there's something funny about the musician now.

Denther joins a group three men playing dice. The game they're playing involves throwing sometimes three, sometimes five dice until a legal combination is made. The highest combo wins. Bets are a straight ante set by the winner of the previous toss. One of the men looks up as Denther approaches.
"Howdy, stranger. Wanna play? Five silvers gets you in the toss."
