City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn X

Payne nods in agreement with Kol. It seemed like that had been waiting forever here in the tavern, though it had probably only been an hour or so. The woman never really had high standards when it came to employment - as long as the pay was good, she was game. Her head stopped bobbing when Kol meantioned his standards for women. ``Oh. Now the truth comes out. Makes more sense ..`` If she had been offended by his comment, she masked it well.. hiding it with her sarcasm. Was that truly what Kol had thought? Is that why he had taking a shining to her? Probably.

"Ha! You misunderstand....If I wait around long enough a woman's standards drop low enough to put up with me!" Kol chuckled. "Of course this is a lie for humour's sake. We all know that when it comes to wenching Kol becomes a Diamond." Indeed the gem-like accent to Kol's skin did seem to catch the light and glimmer for the self-important warrior. If but for a moment.

“Then I am pleased to meet you, master gnome. It’s not every day that I speak with those of your ilk, so your ways are mostly unknown to me... “So, a pair of wizards and a dwarf. I see that you are somewhat acquainted. How is it that you came to be in this place?”

[OOC: Likewise, Trouvere. Valdaris is a mercenary and something of a career criminal, though he would just as easily work for a well-meaning employer. Provided it wasn’t volunteer work, of course].

"Three wizards," says Abdul. "I am a wizard myself. And the job market is poor these days."

OOC: I have no concerns about 'questionable' ethics. So long as it's not slaughtering the innocents, Abdul is fine.

Plus, he's a generalist. That has to be good for something.

"What did this guy added to the beer?" Ciprinus thinks as he looks at the bartender... He fell asleep ... But for how much time? ... "Wheres that dwarf? and that odd looking women? Oh my head hurts... Maybe a beer could erase it... NO! What am I thinking? The beer started this at first..." lost in his thoughts the druid had his eyes lost somewhere near the tinny elven women.

“So it would seem. By the gods, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many wizards seeking employment in the same place before. Let us hope that there is an employer soon, or we shall lose a whole generation of magic!”

The human speaks with more than a hint of sarcasm in his voice as he addresses the albino gray elf with unusual black eyes. Yet, there also genuine sympathy in his voice. For he, too, has fallen on lean times. He glances back and forth between the three of them; the two elves and the gnome, probing with a thinly veiled question.

“Though I do not know what kind of task could require the attention of three mages...”

Out of the corner of his eye, Vanthus ignores the seemingly drunken ramblings of the druid who seems intent on maintaining a conversation with his beer.

 

[InVinoVeritas]

Quozen chuckles. "The attention of three mages? I would most wholeheartedly fear the subject of attention of three mages!"

As the subject seems to have turned to capabilities, the swarthy elf adds, "I, for one, am best for finding my way into things and situations as necessary. I have been called stealthy and observant. I am sure I can be of assistance, or at least of minimal risk."

Valdaris studies the dark-skinned elf with mild curiosity, regarding the ‘long white linen tunic and white linen breeches’ and ‘waist-length hair severely tied back with a silk sash dyed a dark yellow, the sash woven into his hair along its entire length, ending in a brass tip’. Seemingly everything that the human fighter was not.

“Yet you find no need to arm yourself, master elf. From where I’m from, I must say that's at least a little peculiar… though I've heard of those who travel this world, seeking enlightenment with a strong devotion to their cause. Perhaps you are among them?”

 

[InVinoVeritas]

"Travel the world? Strong devotion? Yes, I travel the world. My devotion... you could say it is strong, yes. Where I am from, we must make do with little and expect to lose what we have. The Order of the Nightingale teaches us to make do with as little as possible, and cherish that which is fleeting, for the song of the nightingale cannot be carried, only remembered."

"Perhaps you are in need of one or more of your transmuted berries, Master Ciprinus," comments Taelythenihel. "They did much to clear the head of that dwarf, to his dismay."

OOC: Good to see you back, Voda Vosa!

 

[Voda Vosa]

-You know what? You are right with that.... Now.. where did I left those damn things...- the druid start searching among his belongings for the magical berries.
-Ah here they are!- the half elf opened his mouth and threw a berry in it, but unfortunately the fruit impacted his eye, and drop to the floor. The druid cursed the magical fruit, as he picked it up, and swallowed it.

OOC: ^^
