3.0rd Edition Power Game

Trying the door, the halfling finds that it's unlocked. Turning the handle and pulling it open as quietly as possible, he's allarmed to hear it start to squick. He stops moving the door as soon as it makes a noise. Still holding onto the handle, he hears someone walk up to the door...

Oldum immediately releases the handle and knocks on the door. When the person on the other side opens the door, he looks up at them with a confused look on his face. “Is your door broken?” he asks.
 

A woman opens the door and looks confused over the halfling and then smiles down at him, until he speaks. She then ferrows her brows and answers with "'Ho are you? You aint on o' the village boys, I know all them. What you be wanten? I don't 'ave all day!" She a large woman with a large belly and a large broom in her hands, which she's now gripping with both hands. The wears an apron and a headband that holds back tangled brown and grey hair.
 

Looking up at the woman Oldum quickly blurts out. “I am trying to sell this really neat dagger. Would anybody here be interested?” Looking around her to peer into the house. “Nice home. Who lives here?”
 

The lady looks down at the halfling and scolds him. "You are a fool to try an' sell you popa's dagger here. THis be the mayers house, and he'll have none of that blackmarket stuff in his town! Now go an tell your father what you did, or better yet, don't tell him an' just return his dagger! I don't like to see children spanked, though you diserve it!" She then turns with a 'HUMPH' and (tries) to close the door on Oldum.

OOC: I was DMing a group once who were tracking down a kidnapped girl. They managed to track the kidnappers back to their hideout, walked up, and knocked on the door. The exchange was funny:

Bad guy: "Yeah? What do you want?"
Ranger: "Travelling axe salesman." *quickdraws handaxes and starts hacking*
 

During Oldum nice little adventure, which I find funny, Allan will be asking around in the tavern who could lead them to the cave. I even pay a drink to the ones who seems interested or could have good information about the caves.
 

Allen starts to ask the inhabitants about the caves. Most of the people look at the mage strangly, but the third person he asks says "If'n you be wantin' to know about them there cave, then you need to speak to ol' Grubber. He's been there and keep talken about them" the fisherman turns to his two companions and elbows one, chuckling, showering fish scales as he does so. "Isn't that right, John?" he asks looking sideways at the man he's elbowing.

THe man returns the laugh with a low chuckle and nods, adding his own collection of fishscales to the floor. "He lives down the way. Follow this here street to the well. Take a right and his is the 3rd house on the left. THe one with CLEAN windows, if you can imagine such a thing!"
 

"Nice, thank you! turning around to speak to his two companion, We just need to go and talk to that Grubber. Let's go! And if we can put an hand on Oldum at the same time, it would be nice to have him near, I feal like he can bring us some trouble if he is left alone too much time."

And so, Allan leads the way out to the only house with clean windows.
 

WAlking down the street to the well was the only dificult part of the journey to the house with clean windows. It seemed that the town did not get many visitors, and so the children were all crouding around the adventurers, asking questions and touching everything.

"Are you a wizard? Can you magic something for us?" a girl in pony tales ask, though her hair is an indeterminate colr from grime and dirt.

"Can I hold your axe?" another boy asks the barbarian, trying to touch one of his axes to his side.

"We have dogs too, though none as big as that!" yet another boy says, attempting to reach out causiously to the wolf.

"What's the mask for mister? You get burned?" still another asks. Finally, when the group reaches the house and knocks on the door, the children relent and move away.

"Come in! Come in! WIpe your feet, or better yet, take off your shoes when you enter. If you have no shoes then ask from the door, for the last time I had one o' you dirty footed fool come in here, I had to clean for a week!" THe voice is creeky and old as if coming from a decrepit old man.
