City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn X

[Phoenix8008]

Breaking out of his reverie, Saithnar notices a few familiar stray thoughts nearby. Standing and walking forward, he greets his former teammates. "Cludge and Conuld, greetings! Finally found your way back here to the Inn, hmm? So, are you both considering going on this trip to the desert? I could use the job myself, but I hear that half-orc is going already and he nearly trampled me once today so I do not intend to give him any other chances. What a barbarian!"

He stops speaking to draw a deep breath through his pipe and then send another smoke ring floating up towards the ceiling.

My players: Take your time in the tavern, and when you're ready, go here for A Sojourn in Sairundan.

Cludge Slatefist

Cludge looks wistfully at his now-empty pint. Well, he says, peering myopically about. I suppose I could leave a note here for Galwynn. P'raps we can journey together another time.He scribbles furiously with a worn pencil on a scrap of parchment.
Say, Joe old feller, he says, would ya mind givin' this to me pal Gal when ya sees him? Tell him ta keep out of trouble, too, he adds for good measure.
Now, Connie me lad, what's all this fuss about dessert? I'm a might peckish meself.

"I was just telling him of my upcoming journey, and I'm looking for some people to accompany me. We should leave soon, as it is a long trip, but perhaps the two of you would like to accompany us?" Shadya says to Cludge. "My name is Shadya."

 

[Trouvere]

Perhaps it is the dwarven whiskey talking, but Conuld says without hesitation, "Yes, yes, I think we would. I can leave whenever you wish, my lady." He too writes a note for Tommy, borrowing Cludge's pencil. Worthallingham, missed you at the tavern. Gone to deserts of Sairundan. Remember, arcaniss hurthi persvek kepesk. Watch out for scoundrels! Yours in friendship, C.
"Hello, Saithnar," he says. "It seems our reunion will be brief. Good luck to you, in whatever you choose to do."

Pleased ta meetcha, Shady, says Cludge, gripping Shadya's forearm.
Cludge Slatefist's the name, former prospecter an' sword fer hire, at yer service. It'd be a pleasure ta help ya out. Only, I don't see why ya hafta go so far for yer dessert. Ya did know there's a master piemaker named Edwyd in town, eh? Delivered his annual special pie to his missus, me an' my friend Gal and a buncha others. Betcha he could make ya a fine dessert right here in Orsussussuss. Us.

"Sha-die-ah" Shadya corrects politely. "And it's my home, it's a desert."

 

[Trouvere]

OOC - well, I've been saying it wrong. That's 'die' to rhyme with 'pie' and 'sigh', then?

OOC - well, I've been saying it wrong. That's 'die' to rhyme with 'pie' and 'sigh', then?

OOC: I think so. I honestly don't know. It's another form or Shadiya, which is the feminine form of Shadi (male), which is a male name meaning singer. As opposed to Shadi (female), which is happiness in Persian. Or at least the source I used says so. Why, how were you pronouncing it?

 

[Trouvere]

OOC - I was thinking two syllables, with a long 'a'. Shah-dya. I think the Arabic name has an -ee- sound for the 'y', but who knows what the Sairundani do?
