CG's Dragon of Icespire Peak [IC]

[FitzTheRuke]

Right at that moment, Fitz was returning from the outhouse. He ran into Mina at the door, caught the look on her face, and tried to distract her by saying, "Don't go that way, 'tis bitter cold out an' there's a bloke passed out on the roost. I'm sure if ye need it, there's a chamber pot in yer room. Fancy a game of dice? Just a friendly one, I seem t'be runnin' low on coin."

 

[jmucchiello]

Bella looks at Rynna. "That's easy. You wed the blacksmith's son, good provider and all that but hands like bark, too rough. Elves tend suffer from that unfortunate stature I referred to earlier. So I guess he's ended. That leave the lass there to be shagged. She's certainly easy on the eyes."

 

[Moon_Goddess]

Mina looks at Fitz then looks around nowhere to run, Her tail flits about nerviously, "Sure, yeah let's play dice, you may have to teach me I didn't learn that game. It's a better game than Rynna's"

 

[Kobold Stew]

Meadowlark was returning to the table with Serpa's meal (a bowl filled with undercooked meatballs rolled in a hot sauce, that he had eaten at every meal she'd known him so far ), when Mina stood up right in front of her, so that she had to shift her hand to prevent some of the food from rolling away. This seemed to embarrass Mina, who appeared to blush -- her cheeks turning a darker grey suddenly.

Meadowlark smiled at her, and with her wrist pushed a stray lock of hair aside from the front of her own face, before it promptly fell back from behind her ear. "The table's gone silent all of a sudden," she says to Mina, who bolts for the door. Meadowlark places the bowl in front of Serpa, saying "for the wee dragon" (but not herself seeming to be aware of the irony.)

[jmucchiello]

She's certainly easy on the eyes.

Bella turns as sees the waitress is standing right there. She just gives her a wink.

 

[gargoyleking]

Serpa looks up at the sound of Meadowlark's voice. He tilts his head slightly to the side for a moment, but then lets the thought go. He wasn't capable of a smile as humans understood them, but a slight nod of his head seemed to convey about the same message.

"How do you all seem to change color so easily? And why only in the face?"

 

[Kobold Stew]

"Some change easier than others. Sometimes it's emotions that do it, and sometimes it's exercise. If you figure out more than that, be sure to let me know," says Meadowlark.

“Well, of course it’s a bloody stupid game, Mina!” Bethrynna said. “It was invented by a bunch of drunken humans!”

Rynna downed some ale as Bella answered the question. “Good answer. They’re all easy on the eyes,” she admitted with a smile. “I guess wed Jona, because at least he’s part elf, so my parents would object less. End the blacksmith, because my mother would be appalled if I shagged a human. And, well, I suppose Meadowlark is human, but not liable to end up with any trouble shagging her,” Ryn said, smiling brightly at Meadowlark as she brought food to the table. “Hello, luv!” Clearly the ale was getting to the elf a bit.

"Two votes to shag Meadowlark," Bella says. "This is a fun group."

 

[Moon_Goddess]

Mina comes back to the table with Fitz, she's looking down to not catch anyone's sight. She's not her usual self and acting timid.

"So you'll teach me how to play dice? Is it hard?"

 

[FitzTheRuke]

"Naw, 'tis easy as can be." said Fitz, clearing a space in a corner and recruiting a few locals that he guessed would be easy marks. (He knew that he'd promised a 'friendly game' but he hoped that one of the locals would demand to make bets once they got going. He was running low on coin, and hoped to get some back before he was out).

He explained the rules and began the throw, making sure to appear only moderately good at the game.

 

[gargoyleking]

The game didn't make any sense to Serpa, he understood what mating was, but it was purely an instinctual urge for him and the concept of marriage was a foreign concept to kobolds who placed all of their emotional eggs into a community pot, of sorts. Not that he'd had much of a chance to get used to that either. Not since his magic developed and his scales hardened on top having wings.

Not that he'd been allowed to keep the last. Apparently, kobolds who were too dragonlike were 'uppity'.

The third option made even less sense to him though. Why would you want to kill a perfectly productive member of your society? Well, unless they were 'uppity' anyways.

Seeing Fitz and Mina starting up a game of dice, Serpa grabbed up his bowl and headed that way, he liked to watch even if he didn't really understand the game. If nothong else, the dice dancing across the table was visually stimulating.

As no one else seemed interested in the game -- and it was rather inane, Bethrynna had to admit, but then humans tended to be -- Rynna looked back at Bella. “So what do you do?” the elf asked the halfling. “What makes you want to join up with us?” The elf toyed with the arcane dragon talon at her throat and scratched at the lion tattoo on her neck before sipping her ale.

Bella moved her chair closer to Rynna's as she spoke. "Oh, as I said, I'm pretty good with a blade. I dabble in other arts." She utters a few words and suddenly her shirt turns from a dark green to a deep blue hue. "A trifle. It'll turn back to green in an hour. And I prefer cards to dice. As for joining up with you, well, you're the best looking group of folk I've seen in a long time. Hopefully that can be translated into coin. And yourself?"

“I am familiar with that trick,” Bethrynna said with a nod as Bella changed the color of her shirt. “I was running out of coin. I needed some way to live while I searched for clues about my father. I figured I had the skills for this life, I should put them to use, keep them sharp, and continue practicing. Fitz is pretty intelligent, for a human, when he’s thinking with the right head. And despite her shyness, Mina is good to have at your back. At least against a swarm of rats.”

"If I may, what kind of clues? What happened to your father?" Bella says.

“I have no idea what happened to him,” Bethrynna admitted. “He left when I was a child. Mother alway said he was doing important things. When I finished my bladesong training, some friends of mine gave me some of his things, his sash, sword, and necklace.” She touched the dragon claw at her bosom, the purple and gold sash at her waist, and the rapier hanging from her chair. “Apparently he was a Harper.” She turned out her collar to reveal the hidden Harper pin under the lapel.

"I've always thought the Harper's were a semi-secret group," Bella says with a chuckle.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

"Haw! Not as secret as they'd like t'be!" said Fitz, eaves-dropping while rolling dice, "Them Harpers have their lofty ideals, but they're just as corrupt as the rest."

Bethrynna scowled at Fitz, but then turned back to Bella. “Secret or not, he was apparently last seen in Neverwinter. I don’t know much about them. I am just trying to trace things back. Someone had to have sent along his things to me.”
