[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 9262564, member: 7015827"] After a short discussion, Lloria and Aerikoth’s caution and desire for better preparation overrode Rosten’s desire to immediately depart for the troll den. Old Hamish with a chuckle then offered them the dubious comfort of the floor of the cabin for the night, but said they would have to feed themselves, since he did not have enough stored for a feast. Aerikoth declined the offer and said he would be outside, if any wished to depart via teleport along with the mage, who evidently preferred less rustic surroundings for the night. Old Hamish turned his back to the party as he tended the fireplace, rearranging a few of the burning sticks with an old metal poker. He mentioned again they would be welcome, not wanting to imply there was no hospitality, but confessing he had little in the way of extra victuals. However, he also mentioned that he had been saving some spirits for a special occasion, a note of enthusiasm creeping into his voice. Lloria in response started unpacking her things and set up a spot by the front door. She commented idly, as she braced her halberd against the door as a blocker, that she would be staying the night, but would save any special drinks for after the hunt. She ditched the bulk of her armor plating, reducing down to the maille coat underneath for sleeping in. The rest of her stuff and weapons were kept nearby and in reach, with her armor resting atop her bags. Their teleportation to the cabin having been a comparatively smooth ride, Rosten at first seemed to be minded to follow Aerikoth. He turned for the door, anticipating some kind of warm and magickal shelter to be the wizard's destination. His ears perked up suddenly at the mention of spirits, though, echoing the word with some eagerness. Lloria chided the hin for the idea of getting drunk before a raid on the troll den, but Old Hamish let out a deep chuckle and said that the old saying wasn’t “Eat, drink and be merry [I]after[/I] you go into battle.” The tracker explained to the others, the fire dancing behind him, that he used to have his own still at the cabin. He told Lloria he wasn’t a fool and that it wouldn’t do to have his senses dulled, the hunter becoming the hunted. But when among friends and danger wasn’t present, he asserted, a drink or two of quality could strengthen spirits for what would come. He showed that he had two small stoneware jugs left, saying it seemed auspicious to open one now and then one after, for toasting victory. Rosten was all for splitting both the jugs there and then, but Hamish with another chuckle said one would be good for now. [/QUOTE]
