[QUOTE="spacehulkster, post: 2539143, member: 13070"] Waterdeep Awe held the adventurers’ mouths’ agape. Each passing mile that they walked closer to the spires, their mouth’s opened wider. All except for Carthax, he had seen cities before and was not impressed. “So, how long y’all are planning on staying here?” Carthax said with disdain. “At least till the last copper leaves our trousers.” Pudge answered. “Oh it’ll leave your trousers faster than you know!” Carthax whispered shaking his head. “Maybe I’ll find me a farmstead out here that needs a helpful hand. It’ll keep me busy and I can get some studying in.” “You’re coming in for a drink at least, right?” Felix questioned. “And how will you know where we are staying, in case you need to get a hold of us?” “Your right there, Felix. The city stench will cover Pudge’s odor,” replied Carthax, smiling and nudging Milo. Pudge made no response, his eyes were fixed upon the castle, with its many spires and griffin riders flying patrol around the city walls. Valen came running up from behind, where Vern had tortured him talking about famous wizards, spells and the like for hours. “Did Basti say where we could find him?” Pudge replied, refusing to take his gaze away, “Some tavern near dock side. He said we could leave a message for him in case we wanted to take in the sites. Vern’s ok back there by himself?” “Thalez is with him,” Valen shrugged. “so you see that except for a slight adjustment of my hands the two spells are identical?” Vern continued, not waiting for an answer. Thalez was in his own world also. Going through fighting stances with his dagger and sword. He was thinking of finding a master swordsman to teach him how to use two weapons. “But what if I can specialize in just my sword” he thought to himself, twirling his blade. The party stopped to pause near the south entrance gate. They checked their gear, as if they were going on a first date. Carthax stashed his money purse inside his tunic. They proceeded to go through the gate. “Whoa there! Who you all be and what be your business in Waterdeep?” a guard asked. Two other guards behind him gripped their spears tighter. Milo calmly stepped forward, “We are just a band of adventurers sir, come to visit an old friend, Sebastian Silvermane. Perhaps you’ve heard of him?” Milo knew the sergeant had no clue who Basti was, but asked as a formality. The group looked anxious at the guards. Pudge started to sneer. “Sebastian who? Never heard a him. Anyway the adventurers quarter be just a few blocks up this street. Keep yourselves out of trouble and your swords sheathed. Best you take a look at the notice around the corner of the gatehouse. It has a few standard laws and legalities you should be know’in.

He made to get right behind Pudge, who was splitting the crowd like a ship at sea, but Milo and Vern had already taken the prime position. As they got closer to the docks, the salty air and sea stench assailed them. Pudge didn’t seem to notice to much. Elric spotted many pockets getting picked as they walked on by. “Looks like this is a prime spot to enhance my talents” he thought to himself. “They live so close to each other. How do they stand it? Hasn’t anyone heard of personal space,” complained Thalez. The eight adventurers made quite an entrance into the Blue Mermaid. The throng was made up almost entirely of humans. Many barbs and comments were made just low enough to not be understood, except to Elric. Who kept them to himself. “Innkeeper, eight flagons of your best ale, and what’s on the spit?” Pudge instructed, pounding his money purse onto the bar.
