Eusebius looks up at the twins' entry, intrigued by their dress and demeanour. He listens with interest to Rowan's words, then turns to Eskon and says, "What do you think, Sir Knight? Perhaps we may be of assistance to this pair?"
With that the monk stands and moves over to the brothers' table. "Benedicite!" he says. "I am Father Eusebius, monk and priest of the Shining One. If you are in need of companions to battle evil, and to do good, then I would be pleased to offer my services."
Pulling out a chair, he sits down and leans forward. "Can you tell me anything more of your quest?" he asks.

"Hi Bran." Rowan leans forward and gives Bran a firm handshake. "Hello Eusebius. 'Shining one?' Is that the sun?"
"Anyway. let's see. Oh." He looks up as Boog approaches. "'Ready to go', eh? Well, we'll 'boogie' when we see if we've got anyone else coming with us. Have a seat commander." He pulls out a chair for Boog.
"This shrine..." Rowan gestures vaguely, "is very magical. Powerful. Listen, these monks at the Long Zheng monestary really know their stuff. They've got this great library - that's where people keep their books. Like this one I borrowed." Rowan pulls out a basic reading book a youth would use in his first years of school. "They know all sorts of stuff about healing and building weird mazes, and werewolves. Yes. Werewolves. We're on a quest to cure someone of lycanthropy. I can't tell you who yet, but that's what we need to do. And this shrine has the power to do it. I'm sure it has all sorts of other powers, too, so we all need to be careful. This is going to be a dangerous quest, so I don't want any greenhorns, if you know what I mean. Werewolves can shred a man in seconds. I've seen it happen. And they can do worse than shred a man. Yes."
"We need men," he rolls his eyes and moves his hand in a circle as he adds a politically correct adendum, "Women, dwarves, whatever, who are brave, adventurous, and can hold their own when the going gets rough. I might not be able to look after you. But if you want to come, we're going to find this shrine, and you'll be the first men," he rolls his eyes and circles his hand again," to see this place of power in a millenium. If you have a question or quest, this shrine can help you too." He stops. "I think" he adds reluctantly. "You tell 'em, Boogster."

Father (aka Brother) Eusebius - human male monk 2 cleric 1
"I have not fought werewolves before. But the Shining One, Lord Hyrag, seeks the wellbeing of all his children - and although his particular hatred is reserved for the abomination which is undeath, I am sure he would smile on his servant questing against any creatures of darkness. I will come with you!"
"How far do we travel, and what supplies will we need? I want to upgrade some of my equipment, but in a city as large as this one, that should not take me any time at all."

Rowan is astounded that they have managed to secure the perfect partner with such ease. He looks to Boog. "You were right about this place." He then takes Eusebius' hand and pumps it energetically. "You're just what I was hoping for. A monk, a healer, an experienced adventurer and with a heart of gold. I was very impressed with the monks we met at the monestary. I'm excited to have you along."
"I believe our trip will take at least two weeks. I can forage for food to some extent, but you should bring a good supply of provisions."
OOC: That makes four of us. I would prefer to avoid taking 1st level PCs, personally, as everyone is third or fourth level. But we could consider it. You'd probably need a good alignment to go on this venture as well, as there is no reward. Are there any other PCs in the inn over 1st level?

The man with the probe
In a loose shirt and pant set, a taller woman with red hair steps into the in. She is sweating and has her hair tied back. She is carrying a bundle that seems to contain a large amount of weapons, armor and other gear."I am Juliana Hayes."
She walks over to Rowan's table and sets the bundle down. "The forge runs warm, as always. I can be ready to go shortly, but Alessa tells me that you are not ready yet yourselves."
A small red crystal with ectoplasmic legs crawls out of Boog's backpack and onto Juliana's bundle.

Patlin
Explorer
ooc: Talbin, at almost level 2, could certainly present himself as an experienced adventurer. If B4chus is willing to take his chances, I for one would be glad to have him... though EL's below 5 or 6 will be unlikely, and he'll need to make surviving a high priority while he catches up.
A party of five sounds about right, unless anyone else volunteers. I'm hoping a second adventure aproval will come in today, in which case I will open a new thread.

. I guess I'll wait for something more suitable for me.ooc: ECL 5 or 6 sounds quite scary for a lvl 1 or 2 character: a single hit would mean sure death, and that single hit wowuld surely almost always be a hit. I'd be thrilled to join but i'm unsure if i'd survive the ordeal. No use quaffing that potion when a single blow gets you below -10. If the rest of the party agrees with me taking on a background role, at least untill i catch up a little, and not minding spending some healing spells on lill ol Talbin, count me in!
"Do i hear speak of adventure? Talbin is the name! but you can call me Red, everybody does. Master trapfinder, scout and locksmith at your service! Say, would there be any room on this expedition for a halfling with talents such as mine? I'd say i have some experience 'in the field' so to speak and i'm sure every party going on such an expedition should have skills as these avaliable. There wouldn't be any shinies amongst the spoils of such a mission, now would there? Anyway, as i said i'd be happy to join your band of brave adventurers and assist where i can. Did i mention i have skills? And some experience using them as well. Some also say i talk to much, but that isn't bothering any of you, is it?" Talbin gasps a long breath as his eye catches the tiny stone walking amonst the characters "Owww, not that is a pretty shiny! And it walks too! My, my,.. never seen any off those i tell ye. It sure be pretty... and shiny.. " after a few seconds of silent staring at the psychristal Talbin lets his attention go back to the band of adventurers "So that's settled then, yes? Drinks all around i say! to celebrate this brave journey to come!" He puts on a big smile as he gestures to Joe that he'd like some drinks over here. "I'd have to do some shopping first though, but i understand that i'm not the only one. Two weeks journey you said, yes? Need i bring anything special?"
edit- ah, yes, ecl 5 sounds alot less scary indeed!, my bad
