I’ll go and invite her to join us.” He smirked and went to get up again only to be shunted down by the surprisingly strong little gnome beside him.</p><p>“No I’ll speak to her. I’ll do better to speak to the poor girl than you will, after all lover-boy, I won’t start ogling her unlike the rest of the tavern.” Harley said finally and left leaving Nym to observe the rest of the ogling tavern. As Harley approached she heard a sigh from the beautiful half-elf.</p><p>“Hey there.” Harley said to the young woman “Can I buy you a drink, just between us girls?”</p><p>“Sure I don’t see why not.” Rondel replied. Over time it seemed and the night grew darker and darker the Harley being the resourceful little gnome that she was able to persuade Rondel to join them on the adventure.

This was followed by the large figure that Harley hit with her magic bounding into her. She noticed the figure as an orc, which rapidly swung a falchion down aiming for her head, but Harley nimbly stepped to the side. Rondel stepped in behind the orc and with amazing precision, placed the point of her rapier between the ribs of the orc before it could lift its blade.
