ooc: Not sure if I posted yet, but . . . .

Shrough enter the tavern and sits at the table . He orders a bottle of a berry wine and the food of the day. he otherwise observes in silence.

Sarten is by no means a 'lightweight' kobold - he's a healthy 43 pounds - but since most of the drinks are of a generous size, he chooses the Brin Zwiesher's Ale. "Well met, Durst. What do you have in the way of fresh raw meat?" Still don't know why the mammals burn their food.

He looks around at the décor and the crowd. The ogre head seems in poor taste at best, but the dragonborn he regards almost as large kobolds, which puts him back at ease a bit.

"So, Borya. Are you a priest or something? I am a bit of a battle-mage by trade."

 

[Scott DeWar]

'A battle mage. Hmm. I wonder if that is similar to my path of skill choices
"So, a battle mage? What does that entail, Dragon-kin?"
'most would disregard him as being just a kobold, but he holds himself better, higher then that. Curious. I shall give him the benefit of the doubt.'

Wilie speaking to Borya | Helman speaking to Shrough:

"No, you misunderstand, cousin," Wilie replies. "The notes aren't about your sister. I received a note as well saying that eight heroes would contact me. I am to make you all feel welcome and ask you to stay in Bard's Gate, which I do with everyone I meet. This S.H. person, whoever he is, payed eight gold to the toll collection. One for each hero, as he put it. It doesn't look like any of you have a cart or wagon, so I don't understand this person's extravagance. If it's meant as a bribe to the Market Watch, this S.H. doesn't understand anything about Bard's Gate. My note says that once enough of you have gathered together on the Market Bridge, more instructions will be delivered."

"I might have found a lead for you about Sonya, but I haven't received word from my contact in the city of Parma yet. When the letter I'm expecting arrives, I will let you know."

"In my experience, all of this is very odd," Helman says. "And I spent years in the adventuring profession. When someone puts together a group this... diverse, the rewards rarely outweigh the dangers faced. I'd advise caution. Traps are set in such ways."

Borya looks disappointed, but quickly returns to a pleasent disposition.

"I expect that things are rarely what they seem. It seems to be our fate."

"I'll send them your way once they arrive" Wilie replies. "Tell Durst that you know me. Ask for a bottle of Hammer Hand Whiskey. Curtsy of the Market Watch."

Wilie looks up a Borya, "You can stay with me and the family, if you like. Marcie will be glad to see you." ( [MENTION=10869]Shades of Eternity[/MENTION] > OOC: Marcie is Wilie's wife. He has four children. [I'll come up with names for them later.])

"I look forward to seeing Marcie again. It's been too long."

Sarten is by no means a 'lightweight' kobold - he's a healthy 43 pounds - but since most of the drinks are of a generous size, he chooses the Brin Zwiesher's Ale. "Well met, Durst. What do you have in the way of fresh raw meat?" Still don't know why the mammals burn their food.

"So, Borya. Are you a priest or something? I am a bit of a battle-mage by trade."

<I'm going to assume I went to the pub, not drink anything (he's a tea toddler), but return to wilie's family for the night.>

He looks at Sarten specifically.

"I have been chosen by the earth mother to help those that I come across."

"I have been told to walk the world, a strannik if you will."

"It is why I've been blessed with the power of healing."

"In other words Borya, you're the guy who's going to save our tails when the going gets rough" Sarten says. "Good to know!

Shrough, I've trained in the tradition of what some call war-mages. Though my magic is not as flexible as that of a typical wizard, I can toss blobs of acid or blasts of fire, or many other variations on that theme. My people are blessed with speed and cunning, but not so much with sheer physical strength as compared to some others. By specializing as I have, I can overcome those odds in combat situations. Not that I seek out fights, but when they are necessary I am ready for them. What about yourself?"

 

[Scott DeWar]

"I have been trained in the martial ways, but I am trained as a wizard as well. I am a bit of a wanderer and have learned a few arcane spells in the process, but It is the trinkets that I am most happy for. I could use this work to buy some scrolls. That is an expensive affair, I tell you." Shrough smiles then takes a sip of his wine.

"I can hold my own against anybody my size," Borya says with a smile and a grin,"but I do prefer to talk before we do violence."

Vak'tiel steps into the conversation "Well friends, violence and intimidation are my two favorite tactics."

"I believe it, "Borya says with a smile, "Just realize there are many ways to resolve a problem."

"Afterall, I heard of this band of adventurers that was trying to stop a zombie plague that killed the wrong snake, and as a result, the faeries, who lived off the excrement, went extinct."

"It would have been easier to throw a rabbit into the den, let him eat it, and then talk to the faerie and thus creating something for everyone."

"Perhaps that is true, but in the case your talking doesn't work I will not hesitate to wet my blade with the blood of enemies."
