[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 6082580, member: 16069"] [CENTER][SIZE="5"]KOTS Part 9b: New Blood.[/SIZE][/CENTER] The 27th day of the third month of the year 2012, upstairs in Wrafton’s Inn- the assembled group stare a while longer at the chest full of gold coins, then the huge minotaur closes the chest, hefts it on to his shoulder and goes to depart the room. The brute stops before Jimmy, hesitates a moment. Jimmy looks up, and up, and… “Sorry.” The minotaur states and nods his head a little. Jimmy looks worried. The minotaur stomps off. “What was that about?” Jimmy asks after the creature has departed. “Sergeant Ramm helped to… err, subdue you when you came round in the Inn, you were a little…” Rond tails off, shakes his head. “Anyway, Ramm’ll carry the money for the exchange tomorrow, if anything bad happens he’ll do his job.” [sblock=Ramm] [CENTER][SIZE="4"]Ramm, Male Minotaur Guardian Fighter Level 2[/SIZE] [SIZE="4"]Played by Lee (who played Hal)[/SIZE] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/40504969@N08/8097545850/][img]http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8191/8097545850_8b0769170f.jpg[/img][/url] Ramm, like Gokan, favours his +1 Vanguard Battleaxe.[/CENTER] [/sblock] “’Ow you mean, zumthing bad ‘appen?” The speaker uncrosses her legs and stands, she has short dark hair framing her elven face, she is… Jimmy searches for the right word- beautiful? “We ‘appen.

CLOMP CLOMP CLOMP OOOF! “Sorry old chap!” Clomping in to the room, and barging in to Rond en route, comes a third stranger, a much older dragonborn- clearly a warrior, wearing a battered suit of plate armour and lugging a heavy shield, with a longsword at his belt. The dragonborn, and his equipment, have clearly seen better days. Gerda looks up- astonished. “Sir Garlik!” She’s quickly to her feet, she fusses her hair a little. “I… Douvern!” She turns to stare at her husband. Who continues to spread his arms wide and mime his innocence. “Don’t worry Gerda- you’re looking as divine as ever by the way.” Sir Garlik, the dragonborn knight, schmoozes. “The young lad’ll give the signal…” He nods at Jimmy. “We’ll rush in, slay the vermin, get the money back, and be back to the Inn with the fellows in time for hot buttered crumpets, and a medicinal snifter or two.” The dragonborn concludes.

Douvern tries to stay out of his wife’s line of sight, he hides behind Sir Garlik. “What!” Gerda tries again. Jimmy gulps. “We’ll…” Sir Garlik starts back up. “I know what you said Sir Garlik…” Gerda cuts the dragonborn knight off. “Let me exp…” Douvern starts, but he too is truncated. “I think you’d better- not here…” Gerda stomps out of the room. “Douvern!” She calls back. Douvern follows, head down. “Yes, dear.” SLAM and the door’s shut. Silence, except for Gerda’s raised voice - muffled by the closed door. Jimmy winces. The dragonborn mean time fetches out a ready rolled cigarette, screws it in to the corner of his mouth, and lights it. Jimmy looks at the three adventurers before him- finally gawps up at Sir Garlik. The dragonborn roots around inside his armour, searching for some… “Bang on!” Sir Garlik grins and fetches out a silver hip flask, a moment later he’s gulping the liquid down. Jimmy still stares. “Sorry, not done the intro’s.” Sir Garlik wipes his mouth with the back of his hand. “Chap with the bow’s the Red Baron…” The Red Baron smartly comes to attention and then grins. “Lady with the blade’s Eko.” Eko grins- Jimmy melts. “They’re…” Sir Garlik searches for the right word, finally settles on, “Elves.” “I’m Sir Garlik, Knight Protector of etcetera etcetera…” Sir Garlik bows slightly, and then raises the flask once more to his lips. The dragonborn suddenly stops, looks puzzled. “I say little chap- you don’t know where there’s any ice do you?” Sir Garlik waves the flask about. Jimmy shakes his head, mouth-open wide, still gawping. “Pity.” Sir Garlik states and then adds, “just have to make do, chin-chin.” He salutes with his flask and then tilts it back and drains it. [sblock=Info] Jimmy is also Level 2 now.
