Stellan will throw in the five sterlings. Now let's see about this demon bell.

"Yes, it's a fine looking piece of craftsmanship," Stellan agrees with a nod. "Just what we're looking for!"

"What did you find?" Stellan asks, clearly skeptical of the threat the bell poses. Then he adds, with a slight smile: "A demon?"

Stellan is wearing his armor and weapons as he joins the group.

Stellan wanders over as well. "I didn't see any evidence of demons but the new barmaid is friendly," he says with a shrug. He passes along the info he learned inside.

"The ale and a smile was all I needed," Stellan says as he finishes his drink and stands up, towering over the serving girl. "Have a fine evening and enjoy your stay in our village." With another casual glance at the comings and goings in the tavern he strides back outside.

"What a wonderfully enticing question," Stellan replies with a grin and a generous tip. "I was considering something to eat but it looks like there's new staff in the kitchen. Can you tell me who they are and if they're as good as the last bunch? Your smile has brightened my day and I'd hate to...

I'm here as well but I've been very busy starting a new job. It's taken a lot more hours than expected so I'm a bit behind. Hopefully in the next fews days things will calm down and I can jump into the play thread.

Ah, I think it's the "irrepressible urge to eradicate it" part where we aren't seeing the same thing. I'm playing a character more internally motivated than one driven to "save the world". He's not sure yet how he views these things so his mind is equally unsure on what reaction he has to them...

I was thinking his father was a caravan guard killed on the way here when he was a young boy. His mother had no money to leave and settled in town where you and I met and became friends. I don't see him as a "paladin" type as much as a frustrated youth with a growing sense of anger. More of a...

ok, I've switched to fighter. I rolled terrible for gold so I'd be happy to accept your generous offer of help in that department. Having them be close friends since childhood will work just fine for me. I hadn't fleshed out too many details so far so I'll go with your lead - did you envision...

I'd be ok with changing to fighter (it was originally my first choice).
