The Four Lands - Dark is Rising

[J. Alexander]

"Greeting young sir" a goodwife calls out. "Should you be needing to stable your horse there is a fine livery just a few block over called "The Grain Bag". "Your mount will be safe there no doubt..and once you have seen him stabled and return i will find you a room"

 

[Scotley]

"Thank you my good woman. I shall return anon." With an almost courtly bow and a sign of blessing, the elf turns and leads his horses to the stable where he arranges for the their stabling and care. While his requirements are perhaps more stringent than most would make, his tip is also more generous as well. He stows some of the less valuable gear and returns lugging the rest with ease despite the considerable weight.

"Now my good woman, I have been directed to seek a quest room here while papers are prepared that I may enter this great city. I would also appreciate it if you would be so kind as to direct me to a place where I might seek an evening's repast among folk of good character."

 

[J. Alexander]

"Good Sir, there are many quality establishments to be found throughout the northern pass ...most will be located along the main north south crossroads with the finer establishments located near the main plaza. Before you start off though I would suggest you visit the money changers unless you happen to have city coinage on you. You are allowed to use your own coin for the first 48 hours one is in the valley there after you are required by law to use the cities coinage. Most establishment will accept coins in payment but at a discounted rate so best be careful if you do that" She replies

The floor boards and joists creak and groan as a young lad dressed in attire of theeast, as well as looks like he is from the east. He is big. really really big. As he walks into the commen room he sees the armored elf smiles and says,"Peaceof the prince to you good sir." He bows and places his hands palm to palm as he does so.

 

[Scotley]

"I shall heed your advice, thank you." Anessen stows his gear taking a few moments to wipe away the worst of the trail dust. After some consideration he keeps his armor, bow, hammer, sword and a few daggers. He leaves the other weapons and travel gear including his pack behind. He prays and takes his leave of the quest house to find a money changer. As he walks he marvels at how different the city is from the Elven homeland in the Great Wood.

The floor boards and joists creak and groan as a young lad dressed in attire of the east, as well as looks like he is from the east. He is big. really really big. As he walks into the common room he sees the armored elf smiles and says,"Peace of the prince to you good sir." He bows and places his hands palm to palm as he does so.

"Peace of the Prince and the blessings of the Seldarine." He returns the bow with courtly grace. He looks at the big man with open faced curiosity. "I have seen little of the world friend. Where do they grow men so large?" Like most Elves Anessen is well over six feet tall, but he is reed thin beside the Easterner.

A nondescript looking elf on an equally nondescript looking horse leaves the gate and heads towards the quest house. His clothes are obviously of good quality, although apart of an obviously expensive mitheral shirt there is nothing exceptional about them.

Arriving at the indicated establishment, he inquires about stabling for his horse, a room and somewhere he can get something to eat and drink.

 

[Scott DeWar]

"he heh heh" his chuckles send ripples along his arms and torso,

"Way far to the east, friend, Where do they create people thinner then bamboo stalks? heh heh heh!" you can tell that his chuckles are all in good nature.

The money changers are easy to find clustered around the central square. You can readily count 15.

"why yes good sir "the grain bag is a quailty livery and I am sure they would appreciate your business..as to food well there is what ever you desire young sir just look around the squares and you will find them"

 

[Scotley]

"I hale from the great forest where we seek emulate the trees I suppose." He gestures out of the quest house. "I am off to get some local coin and find an evening meal. Would you care to join me? I'd be curious to see what it takes to fill such a vessel as you."

OOC: Do we see the other elf as well?

[sblock=DM]Anessen will convert 5 of his good Elven gold into local coin, mostly of smaller denominations. He will choose a modest, but well maintained establishment, preferably one with exchange rates posted for all to see.[/sblock]
