Fenwick steps forward to greet the dragonborn. "Hello! Fenwick is name of myself. Fenwick, accompanied by friends," he gestures at his companions, "has made long perilous sea journey to reach lovely town and lively tavern. Group of friends is looking for person named Hankel, and Fenwick given to understand that you by way of being Hankel's apprentice. Sit down, and Fenwick will purchase beverage of choice for you." He smiles cheerfully, and gestures to a chair.

(1d20+9=11) Earnest, but perhaps a bit overbearing.[/sblock]

Riardon

Riardon keeps a distance to the dragonborn. Perhaps he is more comfortable with speaking to his kind only.

Fenwick steps forward to greet the dragonborn. "Hello! Fenwick is name of myself. Fenwick, accompanied by friends," he gestures at his companions,

The dragonborn doesn't seem pleased at the interruption, and is put even more on edge by the orcish source, but as Fenwick mentions that he is an associate of Rujah, his expression turns from guarded to curious. The scaly blacsmith smiles polietely and extends a talon, "My name is Firebyrne,"

"has made long perilous sea journey to reach lovely town and lively tavern. Group of friends is looking for person named Hankel, and Fenwick given to understand that you by way of being Hankel's apprentice. Sit down, and Fenwick will purchase beverage of choice for you." He smiles cheerfully, and gestures to a chair.

The dragonborn pauses for a moment looking over the group and then continues, "Funny you should be looking for Hankel, seeing as he left town a few days ago. Perhaps we should all have a seat where we can talk privately?" He nods to a door opposite the bar off the northwest corner of the common room.

 

[Tenchuu]

"Greetings Firebyrne," Jin said, clasping the dragonborn in the forearm shake of the Jade Empire. "We are eager to hear of your master."

 

[H.M.Gimlord]

"We are eager to hear of your master."

Firebyrne's lip wrinkles, revealing sharp fangs, not menacingly, just enough to convey a state of annoyance. As he speeks, his voice, though converting to common language, doesn't lose its draconic growl, "Not my master. My employer. Though definitely my better at the craft." He lets out a sound that seems halfway between a laugh and a harumf and turns his face toward the door without waiting for the group, "Shall we?"

Firebyrne nods to blagarm as he leaves the bar. The bartender rolls his lower lip as if to say, 'of course,' and extends an approving hand in the direction of the door off the corner of the common room.

The dragonborn leads the group through the door,which he closes securely after everyone has entered, the light in the room is dimmer than out in the common room, and Firebyrne's skin sparkles as the flickering lamplight of the sconces on the wall play across his scales "Alright then," he growls in a serious tone that indicates he won't be wasting any time, "Not sure what I'm to make of the five...," he looks at Dayna, "or six of you. You're not sailors," he wrinkles his nose, "but you smell of sea salt." He studies their clothing, "You're definitely not from Erkemhest," His eyes rest on the group's weapons, "and I'd like to know where you got those," and with that, he reaches into his boot and produces a dagger...[sblock=Dagger]

[/sblock]Firebyrne displays the knife, holding it up between two fingers of his talon, "Look familiar?" he flips the dagger and points at the travelers' weapons with the hilt.[sblock=Talon]The dagger is appears to be identical to the dagger you saw on the thieflord's desk back in Varquat's possessed basement.[/sblock] The dagger is made of fine steel even the hilt and handle, and engraved in runes. The grip has no leather, but the steel appears tinted brown by some unknown forge-craft.

Firebyrne continues without waiting for a response, "If you're thieves, you're stupid ones walking around with those things when it's no secret that both they and I share identification with Hankel's forge, so I can only assume that Hankel's gotten himself into some kind of trouble, and you've come as either hired knives or treasure hunters seeking him out." He takes a breath in an inquisitive pause, "or...?"

Riardon

"Hold there. We are just looking for information. We found the dagger and something that looked like it uses it as a key. So we were now searching for Hankel."Riardon tries to explain quickly to avoid bloodshed.

We found the dagger and something that looked like it uses it as a key.

Firebyrne looks confused when he hears the word 'key'. He flips the dagger once more so that he's holding by the tip, "I can guarantee you've never seen this blade before. Hankel gave this to me as a present on the anniversary of my arrival here. I watched him forge it, and it's been in this sheath ever since."[sblock=(Talon, Rujah, & Fenwick only. Talon get's +2) Perception DC 20]You notice that the runes on the hilt and pommel of Firebyrne's dagger are not the same as the ones on your weapons.[/sblock]
He slides the tool back into his boot and stands up, "Still, I'm not altogether sure you're lying to me. What are you talking about?"
