City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn VIII

[Kerrz]

Kerrz Yornbough - Male Human Fighter1

A man in ragged, loose fitting white clothing steps into the Inn. He carries a pack on his back covered by a slightly scratched white shield. Down the left side of the pack runs a long shaft attached to a steel hammer head. Straps on the right side hold a scimitar firmly in place. The man is gingerly using a long piece of slightly curved wood as a walking stick, though it is plain that he does not need it to help his walking.

After his dull hazel eyes take a casual look around at the other patrons he finds what he's looking for and takes a saunter up to the bar. Addressing the barkeep, he says "Hello good sir. Hrmm... let me think for a moment..." The man scratches his short cropped black beard for a minute until he breaks out with a sudden laugh that shakes his shaggy head of hair. "It may be a bit early in the day for this... but I'm feeling a little adventurous. Give me one of the strongest thing you deem fit to serve."

"I mean it, barkeep. Impress me here. I've just come to the big city, and by Grendath I want to taste the tastes and see the sights."

"I've already noticed your fine assistants running around, so the sights have been seen -- now I give you a challenge to prove that the tastes are worth tasting... and my thanks to you in advance my good man. If you can give me a great taste of city life here, then Kerrz Yornbough will forever be in your debt... or atleast until I sober up."

 

[LogicsFate]

A relatively short man enters the bar, garbed in loose clothes, drenched in a sudden shower that coastal towns are know for. A red top knot adorns an otherwise bald head and a pair of curved daggers at his hips identify him readily. He stands for a moment slightly dripping , taking in the bar and the occupants. Bided to speak after just a few moments I am Xerim comes the harsh accented reply.

 

[LogicsFate]

Only recieving greetings from Joe and his staff, Xerim steps up to the bar and looks to Joe Water Listening to the reletive quietness perhaps this is not the place that rumors made it out to be

 

[Kerrz]

Kerrz slides over next to the newcomer to have a word. "So, you say your name is Xerim? I'm Kerrz, and a bit new to these parts myself... let me tell you though with all the sights around here a man could make serious plans to stay awhile..." Kerrz trails off as his eyes follow the plump figure of a passing barmaid.

"But yes! As I was saying... You look a bit down, like you could use some action, but let me assure you, if half of what I've heard about this place is true then we'll soon have more action than we know what to do with. Why, Joe here tells me that just a few days ago a bounty went up and some fools went running off after it. A few days before that a pack of goons followed some dapper gent out after some mysterious offer of adventure. Don't you worry friend, our day will come!" Kerrz pats the short man on the back and motions to Joe for another drink.

Looking over to Kerrz "Indeed"

[LogicsFate]

After taking a few drinks "What tale ended you here?"

 

[Kerrz]

Kerrz takes a long pull on his ale before starting in. "Why... just the story of my life, my friend. Just the story of my life..."

"Grew up near Earling, I did. Ma and Pa spent their lives wandering around the desert and plains, hunting when they could, raiding when they couldn't. It was the wild life, let me tell you. But even the wild life gets a bit boring after awhile." Kerrz wipes his forearm across his sweating forehead, and then across his loose, no-longer-white pants to dry it before continuing. "Yep. Even the wild life... So I said my prayers, kissed my mom goodbye, and bam!" He emphasizes the point with a pound on the table. "Then it was... off I went for fame and fortune and a fair bit of frolicking. I've been wandering around ever since and followed the rumor mill down to this fine establishment. 'Mostly Free Drinks' I said, 'are a great way to attract potential thugs and hooligans. Sounds like my kind of place.' So my course was set, and now it's come to a temporary rest while I make up my mind what to do next."

"How about you my short friend? Not a man of many words I see, but indulge a man for awhile. We may be without much in the way of lively company for a spell and I'd hate to spend the whole time talking about myself."

 

[LogicsFate]

I came from far away, to this land, to expirence more. During my travels, Rumors of the Red Dragon Inn passed by my ears more than once. Leading myself to this point, the rumors were much more grand than anyplace could ever be.
