A Merc's Life: Howl of the Carrion King [01]

[sblock=Mowgli]Ooops, sorry, my bad. All of these "k" names (2 is a bunch??) confuse me, apparently. I fixed it, though. ;)[/sblock]

Kecil

"You got it."

Kecil gives Houwlou a moment to make his way around before starting a slow amble across the space toward the last known location of the disreputable looking fellow.

As Houwlou gets in position where he can see the area again the man comes walking at a hustle from behind the tent. He stops when he sees the Olcán standing there.

[sblock=OOC]I actually have a picture and description of this guy - I'll get it up in this post this evening when I get home.[/sblock]
 

Houwlou Groulenas

Houwlou stands with his hands on his hips, near the hilt of his sword, but not actually touching it. "Hail and well met, friend. I don't believe I've had the pleasure of meeting you, have I?" Houwlou is speaking quite loud and stalling until Kecil, and, hopefully some of the rest, have time to arrive.

Investigating the Fire

The man confronting Houwlou is medium height and build, with lank brown hair and skin tanned by the sun. He is dressed in typical Katapesh fashion but his clothes are poorly cleaned and mended. He walks with a slight limp and with the help of a gnarled walking stick, but carries the scimitar and dagger sheathed at his waist with the ease of familiar use. A nose far less sensitive than Houwlou's would take the powerful scent of his unwashed body; being this close to him makes the Olcán's sensitive olfactory organ burn and itch.

He draws himself up proudly at Houwlou's words, but there is still something furtive, almost hunted in his eyes. "I am Dashki, hired by the Lady Almah to provide her with information and guidance through this gnoll infested place."

[sblock=OOC]Any actions for those still at Eloais' wagon? That would be Aodhán, Keeland and Harnry.[/sblock]

Price Tag-2 coppers --> [OOC: I'm not sure that I agree with the 'burn and itch' effect of the man's odor. After all, canines routinely and voluntarily stick their noses right up eaqch other's butts! They seem to enjoy it, even.]

I actually took that into account - Daski's scent is sharp, acrid even. Ammonia, maybe? There is something familiar about it to Houwlou, and distinctly unpleasant.[/sblock]
 

[sblock=OOC]
I assumed the time spent investigating the body would be happening now, while Houwlou was doing this action.

[sblock=renau1g]remember, Houwlou was unnecessarily forceful and loud with his words like he was hoping to draw attention to what was going on.....[sblock=Mowgli]That's it - I'm all done with hints here.[/sblock][/sblock]

Houwlou grits his teeth and draws even closer to the fetid Dashki. "We are also in the Lady's service, and most recently were called upon to join battle with a great brute of a gnoll. How far do you reckon the nearest tribe's homeland to be from here?"
