Smiling like she usually does, Irene accepts the Nexus. "I'll keep this safe." she says as she takes the item. "I assure you we'll be as swift as we can, as time is of the essence here. Farewell Elaice, until we meet again. And we will meet again!"

*Elaice bows and walks away.*

*As the party enters the merchant's home, they do indeed find the bag of coins sitting on the table.*

(OOC: Going to take the full price of the two horses or just the difference between what you have and what you need?

Also, since it looks like no more adventurers, let's continue the adventure in a new thread. I'll link it in a moment

EDIT: link)
 

"Goodbye Elaice, May the High King bless you. We wiwll return as fast as we can!"
Findoram leaves the inn and heads to the merchant's house with the rest.
 


Verrick Dram

A tall human enters the inn, he looks around taking in the sights. He then approachs Joe.

My name is Verrick Dram. I understand that you host adventurers. Thank you for your hospitality.

OOC: It does not appear that there are any pending adventure hooks. Verrick will hang around Orussus, until there is a party he can join.
 

The door swings open and in walks two halflings in identical cloaks.

The male, obviously older, drags a trunk with a look of frustration on his face while the younger female looks about the place taking it in.

She removes her gloves finger by finger in a nonchalant way as if bored somehow as well.

As the male struggles to get the trunk through the door she pushes past.. and finds a place to sit her pack down at the nearest table.

When the older halfling catches up he stands and rubs his back while saying to her with a slight smile on his face and a wink...

You are going to have to start helping with that thing Pinkie. I am getting too old for this...when are you going to get a lady in waiting?

She smiles as if amused...and sits waiting for something.

The older halfling drops his own pack , his cloak and a crossbow and heads over to the bar...looking for the platform that most inns have in cosmopolitan towns for halflings to see over the bar.

He finds it and steps up.

Greetings, I have heard this place may have jobs available for those with the aptitude and skill for the same.

Joe, seems a little startled at the quick appearance of the little patron as he was engrossed in cleaning the water spots off a wineglass and looking down...

Oh!. Hullo good man that is indeed true there is a board over there with offers and such. Also, frequently those in need come in and sell the jobs via interview themselves or do the same with a representative. The drinks food and rooms here are free, but tipping is allowed.

Joe motions to a young boy appearing out of nowhere to get the trunk the halfling was struggling with tossing a key accross the bar.

Will you, and... (pausing a moment to guess) your charge there be sharing a room or would you like separate rooms?

Oh, we would share but require two beds and if you have it a partition for changing.

Fine, says Joe...now I require all guests to introduce themselves and say a little about themselves. It lends itself to conversation and mingling, which is after all how the magic happens here at The Red Dragon Inn matiching people in need with people in deed... <chuckles>
He motions to the little platform the man is standing on...

From there is fine.


The little man turns addresses the crowd and says in a rather harsh voice for his size...

I am Ray, a traveling barrister and problem solver...

He motions to the girl who takes a bow when introduced...

This is Pinkie, she is a tattoo artist of some skill and my partner she also conducts my investigations and can appraise antique items, jewelry and other items for a small fee for those who are interested. We can prepare legal documents of all kinds for a small fee as well.

We for now will retire to our room and return for a meal in a bit since we are dirty from travel.
<dusts his sleeve for emphasis>


[sblock=OOC]

Pinkie is my daughters character, she will be making her own entries most of the time but since I just finished editing her sheets and stuff I just wanted to make our general entrance to the RDI so she can post in the morning. That's why I didn't have her say anything.

She is a kid, so I will be helping her out a little with wording, so give her a break on the intelligence of her character matching the dialog she's only 10.

I hope she doesn't lose interest due to the internet pace. We play at home every Sunday AM, which is Daddy Daughter time. She likes a lot of RP action with people saying her character is pretty and how cool her outfits are. So...if you all find it in your heart a lot of conversation with her will help and help develop a new gamer. Getting her in on pbp as well.

The door to the Inn swings wide and in steps a woman of fine appearance, but nasty demeanor. Her fiery red hair trails behind her as her violet eyes give the surrounding room an appraising once over. Striding confidently to the bar, she speaks "Joe, I could use a nice red wine to clear the dust out of my mouth and throat. And maybe a meat and cheese platter if they have anysuch back in the kitchen. Yep, I'm back looking for further employment again. I know, 'check the posted listings and keep an ear open', I remember the routine thanks."

Receiving her food and drink, she thanks Joe and wanders over to an unoccupied table near a corner. Sitting so she has a good view of the room and it main door, she eats and drinks slowly as if knowing she has plenty of time to finish her meal. 'Well, I'm back here already. At least I managed to leave here for a little while. And coming back with heavier pockets is nice as well.' she thinks to herself. 'Now to settle in for the wait until another prospective employer arrives.'
 

An older halfling walks down the stairs, he is out of his armor for the evening wearing a set of plain brown breeches and an off white lace up shirt open a little revealing his gray chest hair. At his waist is a cutlass and a dagger. His feet are bare.

Upon his arm is a younger female halfling in a pink dress, the color of which, would make it stand out in any crowd. The dress is calf length tied with a belt to which is attached a pair of daggers, and adorned at the top with white lace and some simple beads probably of little real value.

She carries her head high in a haughty way indicating an air of superiority betrayed by the pairs playful conversation and laughter. Perhaps they share some joke or observations too private to hear. Her smile is bright and full almost enchanting; this combined with her size, evokes in most an immediate childlike endearment in most people.

As they enter the main room the "man" says...

Oh, dear this place is quiet isn't it Pinkie....

Whatever shall we do about that?

He turns to the lady with the red hair and bows...

I am Ray my lady a barrister and problem solver by trade, this is Pinkie, my partner she also conducts my investigations and can appraise antique items, jewelry and other items for a small fee for those who are interested. We can prepare legal documents of all kinds for a small fee as well.

Oh and she can craft a fine tattoo now and again as well - unicorns are her specialty.


<winks>

She uses a special pink ink even for the ladies but I bet she could whip you up a red one for a nominal fee...say 10gp.
