City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn X

[Rae ArdGaoth]

Rasereit Vundinn, Dwarven Barbarian

Rasereit looks at Keldar and raises an eyebrow. "Ah ne'er heard o' ye or yer great great bunch o' greats grandfather Corsee-murfee-whatsix neither." The dwarf scoffs with a great huff. "Full o' hot air, this one is. Still looks green t'me," Rasereit comments, not quietly, to Ogrin.

His eyes go wide when Keldar opens his cloak and reveals his many daggers. "But he's sure got a lot o' blades fer one bloke." He's even more impressed when he sees (4) Keldar make the coin appear and vanish. "He's a quick 'un, alright." Rasereit adds, more softly. He drinks some, keeping an eye on this newcomer.

Keldar coughs once into his hand, then sticks out his tongue to reveal the coin sitting there. Coin safely retrieved, he winks at Rasereit. He shows no sign of having heard the dwarf's comments to his halfling companion.

Nodis, human psion

A rolling thunder* echoes across the comon room as a figure appears at the door! Muffled cries and sighs of admiration* resound when he announces: "Nodis is back! We've had som fun action, specially against the totally not a goblin werewolf, but, dammit! I missed the bandits. Again!"

The one speaking looks just a bot older than a child, or perhaps his short frame and hairless face make that impression on you, dressed in fancy colorful clothes and totally unarmed (except a dagger at his side)

At the sound of admiring noises, Keldar Warbray leaps to his feet with hands held palms outward deprecatingly. "Thank you, thank you all, but please, settle down... Keldar is nothing if not a modest man." But he's looking around wondering just where the applause came from. He largely misses Nodis's entrance as a result. "Ah, Covis, my lad, there's a shiny copper for you if you'll run down to the market and tell me if anyone is selling musical instruments... something I can strum while I sing. What do you say?"

 

[buzzard]

Right behind Nodis a very large and ugly half orc in a spiked suit of chain mail strides into the room . "Yes, Lupic smash bandits on long trip. Somehow Lupic still not sure what happened. Nodis, what happen on trip?"

He then moves over to the bar and orders a drink.

"Ah, Covis, my lad, there's a shiny copper for..."

Keldar can't finish speaking, as he's unable to control the utterly disgusting string of burps, belches and eructations that come out of his mouth*

"Dude, you should be careful with your diet." says Nodis, staring at the belching man.

"Geoth's laughter!" exclaims Keldar, utterly confounded. "I do believe there is something wrong with this wine I have been drinking." He looks dubiously into the cup.

 

[Corwyn]

Aiken human rogue

A few minutes after Lupic and Nodis entrance Aiken comes in.

"After a few weeks in the saddle it's good to be back in civilization!"

Aikens gets a beer.

 

[Trouvere]

Keldar takes some time to recover his equanimity after his inexplicable belching episode. But soon enough, he begins drumming his hands on the table and humming to himself. Then he gets up, wishes Troi a good day, and walks aimlessly around the tavern. He stops to exchange words with any pretty girls he sees. Several giggle at whatever he says to them, and more look annoyed, but, perhaps surprisingly, only one slaps his face. Even more surprisingly, she is the one who gets up and goes to the tavern door with him. “If anyone comes looking to hire adventurers, Joe, tell them that Keldar has been here, and their problems are solved,” he says as he holds the door open for her. They leave. Moments later, he puts his head back around the door. “They’re never tall enough, Troi,” he sighs, and disappears.

A young man carrying a large scabbarded claymore enters the room, looking quite unkempt. He wears woolen clothes that look slept-in, and has a shadow of stubble over his face. His long hair is mussed up, and the holy symbol of Halina around his neck has obviously seen better days. He looks around the room, sighs, and grabs an empty chair.

"Joe, I made a platinum, and spent it... in less than an hour." he sighs once more. "At least those kids will get some use out of it. But I swear, Halina's out to get me. Seriously... I was a bodyguard for a PIE. Hopefully, someone will drop by and hire me to look after his meatloaf... or maybe guard a brewery? I don't know."

Galwynn grunts and leans back. "I think I might have to sleep at the temple tonight."
