*Zafira grins at the lightning genasi woman.*
"I don't mind giving a demonstration of my fighting skills, she replies. "As to your questions, no, no, yes, no, and yes. And for the record my craft is bowmaking."
*Zafira looks back at the lightning genasi and says:*
"I am Zafira".
"I have modest skill in combat, as well as some experience training horses. I have served in the past as a guard on several caravans."
I wonder if that will be enough.
*Zafira will head over to the lightning genasi woman behind the counter.*
"Excuse me, but I heard a rumor that an adventuring group was forming here for some type of mission. Would you have any further information?", she asks.
The red-hairded woman smiles. "I am Zafira. Pleased to meet you Ashlie. And no, I don't know anything beyond the rumors that a group is forming at the Adventurer's Guild. I was just about to head over there to find out more. You're welcome to accompany me." She looks towards Saku. "You're...
"Me?", Zafira raises her eyebrows in response to Saku's question. "Just passing through. Between caravan jobs really, though thats getting a bit boring as of late. I thought I'd head over to the Adventurer's Guild. Heard a rumor that a group is forming for some perilous venture".
She drains...
"Zafira", she replies to the unspoken question.
She takes a sip of her drink, then places on the bar.
"So Saku", she says with a smile, "what brings you to Willow Grove?"
I thought the book was fabulous. Kerbouchard is one my favorite fictional characters. A great warrior, but also a scholar and explorer. Too bad there was never a sequel. The end was left wide open.
*Zafira walks over to the young dark-skinned man who fell through the door, and offers him a hand up.*
"Are you all right?", she asks."That was quite a fall."
