The door opens and a pasty, rotund dwarf dressed as a chef puffs into the room "Damn long-legged Lupic. Thrice be damned Semabin, always running off and leaving me on my own. And just how often did I cook them dinner on our last quest? And how often did Geoth heal their wounds? Ungrateful wretches" the fat dwarf rumbles as he rolls towards the bar "An ale, a chicken, some soup and bread and, ahhhh, some wine please barkeep" he says "Kyle is back and his appetite is worked up"

Kol shifted in his chair, he seemed uncomfortable. Then suddenly he slammed his meaty fist onto the table. "Well thrice-damn this...Patience is not my virtue! If we cannot find a healer. Mayhaps a good cook then? At least our bellies would be full this time. Unless you still crave Lizard Man Jerky." He stood up. The Lantern light caught flecked skin just right to create a glimmering sheen. Lavender eyes gazed upon the newcomer happily gorging himself at the Bar. "Ho there!!! Friend Dwarf! You look to be a cook. Any healing recipes in your repertoire?"
A young man in flashy clothing enters the inn, carrying a bundle under his arm. "Joe," he cries, heading strait for the bar, "I am need of some assistance. For the tournament, I require a room to stow my belongings and to make something of a costume change between events. Also, if a bath could be drawn for me after the race..." he trails off as Joe silently points to the sign requiring people to introduce themselves. "But...You can't be serious. I left here not a few hours ago." Joe responds by gesturing to all the newcomers that have arrived. With a sigh, the man turns to address the rest of the inn. With a low bow and a sweeping wave of his plumed hat he announces, "Good day, all. I am Octavio Amontillado...Master Duelist." Octavio turns to resume his conversation only to find Joe holding out a room key. "You're the best, Joe," Octavio claims, grabbing the key and bounding upstairs.

Zurd gets up and head over to the bar.....
Joe, I need a room for me and the hound here and can you have some diner sent up.
The special will be fine.
[sblock] I don't know about the others Orsal but rather than sit here for several real life days waiting for a player to come along, I am more than willing to accept an NPC cleric. I know it's not ideal for you but then again sitting around the RDI for another week or so is not ideal for me. I'm not bowing out or anything just expressing my opinion. I'll hang of course if there is no other option. [/sblock]

The fat dwarf turns to survey the stranger, his eyes travelling up and down the man taking in his bearing and his dress. His mouth breaks into a huge grin "You have the look of an adventure about ye" he quips with a chuckle "Not only do I cook a mean meal, I also happen to be a priest of the Gastronome of Gluttony, Geoth. Provide me an opportunity to explore new tastes, find new ingredients and sate my thirst for adventure and I'll happily join any band - after negotiating expenses"hero4hire said:
A Merry looking halfling enters the in with a big smile on his face, and some nastly looking injuries on his body. "Hiya Joe! I'm back! Lets have a good glass of cider an a big stew for a hungry halfling!" He nods at the other occupants of the Inn "Red is the name, nice to meet you."

Kol is a large man. He has the long lean muscles of a warrior. At first glance he looks to be human. But the odd color of his eyes and skin that looks imbedded with Amethyst dust tells you he is something..else. He carries a notched Two Handed Axe. He has an unkempt man of jet black (almost blue-black) hair. His chain shirt is missing a few links in places and is matted with dried blood in those damaged areas. You can see still healing wounds wear in a few spots where skin is exposed.
"Hmph! I would not have taken you for a clergyman. Kongu is our negotiator for expenses." He indicates one of the women at his table. "Though I am sure Zurd may also put in his two coppers."
The plump dwarf gathers his food and drink and waddles towards the warrior. His eyes meet those of Kongu and Zurd and he nods amicably. He has a wild mop of black curly hair and a handlebar moustache (one of his pride and joys, behind his cooking of course). He wears a heavily food stained white apron over his chain mail and hard soled boots. A tall chef's hat rests precariously upon his head. He is covered in flour and a subtle spicy aroma hangs around him.hero4hire said:
He flops himself down on a chair and carefully arranges his food on the table "Would any of you like anything?" he asks "I've got a bit of cash you know, just came back from a very dangerous mission saving the daughter of a noble from a vile mercenary gaurd and his crew. Went rather well I must say so it'd be my shout, happy to pay I am. All in Geoth's name of course, spread the love" the dwarf says beaming at his companions and patting at his fat stomach.
Kongu, pet NPC for Exploring the Hase-Suna Complex
The redhead extends her hand to the rotund dwarf. "Pleased to meet you, Kyle. I am Kongu. My companions and I have been exploring the underground dwelling of the famed Hase' and Suna, a residence that seems to have been overrun by lizardfolk in the years since their mysterious disappearance. We have three objectives: to learn what happened to the original owners, to salvage some of their fabled treasures which have been lost to civilization, and to protect the area from the scourge of reptilian parasites. We began this task, but had to retreat because of severe wounds suffered by several of our group. If my companions are amenable to having you in our party" (as she says this she glances first at Kol, then Payne) "then any compensation for your services must come from valuables still to be recovered. What would you think fair?"
