[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 6802398, member: 5834"] [b]Apothicas joins[/b] A drow bladesinger named Apothicas DeVir joins the group after making contact with distant cousins Tytus and Jharzzle. They meet in [i]The Ghorlborn's Lair[/i] sharing a meal and some drinks as Apothicas makes them an offer. The PCs returned from the Whorlstone Tunnels with another Myconid Sprout named Rumpadump. The sprout knew Stool. The two sprouts feel there is something unusual going on. They begged Eraxis to return them home. After using rapport spores to speak with Jharzzle, Eraxis, and Destrian, they convinced the PCs to take them home to Neverlight Grove. That is the PC's next destination. [b]Player Responses[/bi]: This didn't get role-played as thoroughly as I would have liked. Apothicas is taking a meal in the dining area of the Ghorlborn, when he notes the arrival of the group he is looking for, in particular the two drow he seeks. They enter with a group of six and a small myconid with a young human. Tytus, weary from battle, walks into the dining area with the rest of the party. He gives the room a quick once over for any sign of anyone looking out of the ordinary, suspicious or threatening. If there is anything that his escape from prison, this city and district has taught him in the last several days and weeks, it is to be constantly vigilant to the eyes of a stranger. The paladin takes a mental note: A well dressed, lone male drow eating comfortably here in THIS inn and city? … even merchants of our kind aren’t foolish enough to travel here and dine alone. Perhaps a follower of that whore bitch looking to detain us! Tytus, rests his hand on the pommel of “Fangs” looking directly into the eyes of the lone drow from across the room. He then speaks in drow loud enough for him to hear … [I]“Do you take issue with any of us stranger??”[/I] "Issue?" Apothicas asks with a curious smile. "No, Tytus. I do not take issue with you.

I apologize that I have you at a disadvantage, as I know more about you and your brother than you do of I. Let us start with introductions. I am Apothicas. Please, sit." Apothicas stands and motions his palm upward hand towards the chairs. He is tall, and well dressed wearing studded leather armor, under a set of fine, clean travel clothing. He carries traditional weapons of the drow, a rapier, hand crossbow, and a whip. He moves with grace, but you detect his moves are calculated. A noble perhaps, or well trained in etiquette. He turns towards the bartender, "Barkeep. Three meals and your best ale." [b]DM Notes[/b]: The role-playing ended there.
