[3.5] Answering the Call

[Neurotic]

Entering behind his loud companion Menno adds in the voice that easily carries over the room:
"And give everyone one drink on me, hobgoblins are mourning their losses as we count our gains."
He grins at the other party and sits down.

"Of course you may, what kind of heroes refuse fine company. What will you have?"

 

[Rhun]

"Yes, please sit," booms the giantkin to the newcomer. I am Orinar, called Giantsblood, and we are in high spirits this day!"

 

[Mark Chance]

Wow. This is crazy slow. I watched most of a Spongebob cartoon while waiting for the "Reply to Thread" screen to load.

Lars, Orinar, Menno, and Kyl join the gnome Tiax for lunch. As food and ale are brought, more patrons enter the tavern. Most of them are off-duty soldiers. One is an acolyte from the temple familiar to Lars. Her name is Vadara.

In the lunch-time hustle and bustle, the tankards come in a steady stream along with platters of cold cuts, cheeses, and breads hot from the ovens. The harpsichordist segues from one lively tune to another. The soldiers raise their cups and sing the bawdier songs.

The happier atmosphere seems to irritate the dwarf and his company. After only a few minutes, the dwarf grumbles something and gets up from his seat. His companions follow suit, and the entire group exits the tavern.

Shortly after they're gone, Kyl leans forward.

"Lars," he says, "I'm pretty sure that dwarf had a fey blade. I saw him slip it into his belt."

 

[Rhun]

Orinar narrows his eyes at Kyl's words. "I knew I didn't like that dirty dwarf," says the giantsblood, keeping his voice low. He frowns. "We can't do much within the keep. Perhaps we could trail their group next they leave?"

 

[Mark Chance]

OOC: Lars knows that, since Curate Anselm is the law in the keep, the matter could also be brought up with a formal accusation.

 

[Rhun]

Orinar sits back and takes a long slug of ale, waiting for Lars' input.

 

[Neurotic]

"re you sure, Kyl? I mean, it would be bad for us if we confront them over simple silvered dagger."

OOC: Hello, all, I'm back a day early so let's play!
OOC2: that ENW crash did me a great favor

 

[Rhun]

Orinar chuckles. "That dwarf needs a lesson in manners either way," he says in response to Menno's words.

 

[Mark Chance]

Kyl replies, "As sure as I can be without having the knife here to examine. It's crossguard sure looked those the fey had in the forest. Sort of wavy, with what looked like leaves on the ends."

[sblock=For Tiax]Tiax can confirm Kyl's description. The dwarf used the weapon while eating.[/sblock]

 

[hellrazor111]

"Wavy ye say? And leaves on it." says Tiax at Kyl's description. "He has it, was waving it around in front of me when I talked to 'em."

"He's a mean guy ain't he?" Tiax takes a drink of ale.
