City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn IX

[Manzanita]

Rinya gives Rowan a looking-over before answering. "It wasn't what I had in mind, but since I almost died I guess it qualifies. That reminds me, I need to pick up a quarterstaff somewhere."

"A quarterstaff? How are you going to usse that with your longspear? What you need is a big sword. I've got one on my horse in the stables. Want to have a look? You know, I met some elves that look kind of like you up north, near the Northern mountains. You from up there?"

Gardner Monroe, Human Investigator 2

A tall slender human walks in, running a hand through close cropped curly dark hair. His leather armor is stained dark with blood, and it looks like most of it came from him. "Damn mule, things more trouble than its worth", he mutters. Looking up he grins and with a slight bow announces," Gardner Monroe at your service". Without further ado he heads to Lucien, Richard, and Rinya, "Find us any work yet? I'm broke"

OOC: Headed out for the weekend hopefully a game will start up.

"Hello Lucien, Gardner.

"Well, it was a walking pile of bones that almost did me in. Lucien here has some experience with them, and he says to hit them with something with no edge. I'll cross over some day, but I won't be taken down by something as unnatural as that."

"And while my tribe is up north I doubt it was them you saw. They live far to the north. Deep in the woods. And they don't like anyone...different than them."

Dagobert, Elven Cleric 1

A wholly unremarkable elf walks in and takes a moment to examine the surroundings. Seeing the weapons rack he places his own sword, buckler, and bow there and makes his way to the bar, nodding and giving a quiet, polite greeting to those he passes.

 

[Richard Rawen]

"I guess its true what they say about time flowing differently around the Red Dragon. We've been gone a day, yet it seems like forever."

Richard chokes a bit at Rinya's words, swallowing his food and taking a long pull on his drink. Refilling from the pitcher he takes a breath to answer her but is interrupted as one by one the room fills, finally with an Elf the bulky fighter does not recognize.

"Find us any work yet? I'm broke"

Pushing over a pitcher of mead, he answers Gardner with a sad shrug... it's been real quiet in here unfortunately. Richard looks down at his empty plate... "Another, please."
Looking at his companions, then around the room at it's few inhabitants... "place was empty 'cept for yon halfling when I arrived" he explains.

"I use my flail for those type of things. I've also found silvered weapons useful. We've fought a lot of lycanthropes. I gave a silvered axe to your kinsmen I met up north. Thought they might need it. They were awesome trackers and archers. We never saw them, but they saw us. Could have killed us anytime. We ended up hiring them to escort us through their territory. I liked the little buggers. Anyway, I have a whole lot more weapons with my horse. Sure you dont' want to come have a look at them?" says Rowan to Rinya.

"No, I'm not really interested. Although...my friend Richard here carries around more weapons than a small army. I bet he'd love to have a look."

Then, turning to Richard, "What do you say, Richard? Want to go out back and check out this guy's equipment?"

 

[corcio]

The door to the red dragon inn slams open and in rushes a halfling dressed in a strange silk tunic. bright red with some purple trimings. carrying several puches and a quarterstaff in his hands . he runs up to the bar and hanging off the edge of it, whispers to joe ina not so loud whisper. "JOE im grid, grid fuzzbright. i need......some ale. ale is what gives me my fantastical powers you see. " and with a wave of his hands causes several whisps of light to swirl about himself sparkling all the way. upon recieving his drink he thirstily downs it and heaves a sigh of relief. then accomodates himself to a chair near the center of the room and looks about as if waiting for someone to come talk to him. and by the looks of it he doesnt really seem to care who that person is.

ooc - it seems some of the other games i was involved...slowed down to a crawl. :-( oh well cant be helped
so i made a halfling sorcerer. let me know if anythigns going on

"No, I'm not really interested. Although...my friend Richard here carries around more weapons than a small army. I bet he'd love to have a look."

Then, turning to Richard, "What do you say, Richard? Want to go out back and check out this guy's equipment?"

Richard is beginning to think Rinya is purposefully waiting till he is trying to swallow to impart these little gems to him . . . and so for the second time in scant few minutes it is with difficulty that the large human avoids being indirectly choked by his wild Elven friend.

Staring at her with a bemused look for a moment he finally finishes his ale, looks the young woman in the eye, "I will always watch your back in combat gentle Rinya, however this battle is yours to fight!" he finishes with a smirk and then watches the new halfling put on his little show, watching the Elf out of the corner of his eye lest she shove him off his barstool.

 

[Heckler]

For what could be the first time ever Rinya smiles and laughs. "You called me 'gentle,'...that's funny."

"Sorry, Rowan, doesn't look like there's any takers this time."
