Qalabash Baram, human staff magus
Qalabash looks thoughtful at Uff's response. He nods and smiles but it seems tinged with sadness.
"I do know what you mean, Uff, I do, indeed. Every man and woman should be able to remake themselves into an image that suits them and sometimes who we were is no longer sufficient for who we need to be. A new life, indeed! You are right as rain, my friend, right as rain."
When the new woman joins their train of adventurers Qalabash assesses the newcomer frankly. For her part, Dal sees a man older than the typical adventurer, around 40 to 45, clad in a mixture of styles identifiable as coming from the nations on either side of Irthos: Rhat'matanis and the Grasslands of the Pell. Most obvious is the purple turban wrapped around his head but equally obvious is the overcoat of peacock feathers that is worn over a long, close-fitting leather coat much like those worn by the Goti, horsemen of the Pell. He also carries a dark, redwood staff. Beyond that there is little to draw the eye until he smiles in welcome exposing large, square, horse-like yellowed teeth.
"What is this? Another ferocious female to add to the line-up? And one carrying a big, pointy stick. Welcome, Dal, welcome! I am the aforementioned Qalabash Baram; you have heard of me, yes?" Seeing nothing but blank looks he continues.
"Ah, well, I suppose not. But that is why we are here, is it not? The making of stories to be told 'round the fire? And, of course, the safe delivery of our employer's mysterious package. I have heard a little about all of my companions so let us all hear a bit about yourself. It will pass the time before we reach our destination. What? We've already arrived?"
Qalabash looks around the wharf.
"Well, then, it will pass the time until the persons we are to meet arrive. So, Dal..."
. . . Qalabash Baram . . .
[sblock=OOC]No Qalabash image on ditzie so I didn't update the map.
Also, nersxe (and everyone else, really), just imo but strong and silent or other quiet types don't work so well in pbp unless there is a lot of description added to the posts. As a player, I'm looking to interact with other players through my character and that's easier to do if the person will actually have their character talk to mine. Generally I try to post in the following format: conversation pertaining to what has gone before, description of how my character looks or acts, then conversation about something new so others have something to react to. It's hard to pull something to react to from a very short post. Like I said, just imo, but since you asked about what's expected I thought I would give my take on it.[/sblock]
