Even Newer(er) Tavern Thread: The Hanged Man

[weldon]

The door swings open and a wilden sways through the entry and takes a seat at the bar. Rather than looking of twigs and leaves, this one appears to have crawled up from the sea, covered in barnacles and seaweed instead. He's carrying a trident and has a length of anchor chain over his shoulder at the end of which swings a rather nasty looking anchor with flukes that appear to have been sharpened to a deadly point.

He motions to the bartender and when he looks up, his eyes sparkle with electric light.

A mug of seawater, now. Water with salt if that's all you have.

He looks around and sizes up the others in the room.

Anyone know of any work for a seaman? Name's Shun, and I can sail to the far lands and back as need be. Actually, far from here might not be a bad idea at all.

OOC: Shun is a 1st level Wilden Stormheart Warden that has not been reviewed yet. I'm willing to join an adventure as long as the DM doesn't mind holding off on awarding XP until I get approved. Link to the character sheet in my signature.

OOC: I'll leave up to you how do you want the group to be, or if you'd prefer to wait until a leader appears or whatever. I'll only intervene if too many characters want to join, and then I'll favor the player with the least characters adventuring. Also right now I'd rather not accept characters with a level higher than 3, seeing we'll have a bunch of 1st levels

I'll only intervene if too many characters want to join, and then I'll favor the player with the least characters adventuring. We definitely could use a leader, but I don't mind starting the adventure and when someone else want to join, they can just enter the game at your discretion.

"I'll take the job."

The sixth ale goes down, "Oh yeeeeeaah! Schee'z Schcrewed!"

" I sure am lass and ... "

			An' schow ischz hee.

Anyone know of any work for a seaman?

			I ne'er known schiemen to do any werk 'at wuzsh any goood.

Mikara lifts her seventh mug in greeting to the salty sailor, "Ah counna 'greewithyuh mer!" she does not, however, drink the beer. Instead, she sits it back down on the bar and looks at the bubbles.

 

[weldon]

Shun looks over the group gathering around the "employer" looking for some help with his expedition.

Do ye need another hand for your crew? I've not a ship to go back to right now and I'm looking to keep moving. I'm useful on board, and can hold my own in a fight should diplomacy fail.

Shun swings his anchor chain menacingly as he finishes that last line, more than implying the usual sort of "diplomacy" that is used aboard ship.

Mikara lifts her seventh mug in greeting to the salty sailor, "Ah counna 'greewithyuh mer!"

Aye, what she said!

Noris nods. "aye, that's uh, good to know, er... matey." he answers to the strange beign. "To be sincere, I didn't come looking for good orators."

OOC: Seems we have a reasonable group; if someone else wants to join, it shouldn't be too difficult to introduce him. Expect a new thread soon with the start of the adventure.

Vyrna looks over at the unusual bundle of sea plants come to life and a short flash of something panged within her chest. It wasn't exactly an emotion (most of what Vyrna feels is like a distant echo of emotion, anger and rage being the only two true exceptions), but it gave her a feeling not too unlike that of nostalgia. Yet at the same time, the feeling angered her, because the lack of true emotion was like the feeling of a phantom pain: Something hurting but doesn't exist anymore (like what is felt by those who have lost limbs).

"Fine, come along, but that anchor better not get in my way!"

Seeing that Ryan (and the packed up Randal) was waiting for her near the door, she hopped off of her stool and walked outside of the Hanged Man, eager to be away from the drunken elf (who was quickly losing her ability to make any proper sounding words...or sense for that matter), and eager to find her next meal. She's hungry, and the Inn's fine dining would not appease her appetite!

Noris nods. "aye, that's uh, good to know, er... matey." he answers to the strange beign. "To be sincere, I didn't come looking for good orators."

What now?! Are ye saying I talk funny? Why, I'll have you talking funny soon enough. Maybe with a few teeth missing, heh?


Shun stands up from the bar and makes a point of slamming the butt of his trident hard against the floor of the tavern.

OOC: Looking forward to getting started!

 

[Dekana]

The tavern door swings open and in blows an elven lady. From her oak staff and (skimpy) stained-brown clothes, she gives the impression of having walked right out of a forest. She sniffs the air soon after stepping inside and then wrinkles her nose in apparent discomfort.

"Um... hi."

OOC: I'm putting together a character sheet now, so I'll keep my intro post short, hehe. Toeto is hereby retired. She was last seen heading toward the docks to get a ride to the savage lands
