"Ah yes, your angry woman in the dark. The one who knows you, but that you wont admit to. You are being very mysterous indeed my friend. I for one plan to pack my pockets with mistletoe and be on the lookout for a red moon. At least your fate is a woman. It sounds as if something wants to eat me. I should hope I taste like an old piece of shoe leather after all my travels. I shall also face lies and deception..funny tales indeed!"

[occ]Ah got ya... in that case...
'de Turiss is a fairly important merchant noble house that operates out of Hardby allied with the Merchant’s Alliance. They deal mostly with clothing, silks, craft-goods made in and around Hardby that is shipped mostly north into Greyhawk. Rumor has it they are looking to open trade routes into the Duchy or Urnst and then on into Nyrond. Trade routes this way are dangerous, especially as the Alliance wishes to bypass Greyhawk and the Nyr Dyv (the lake of Unknown Depth).
Bernardo is an old and famous Paladin who has traveled throughout the lands of the Flan, and some say beyond. He fought in the Greyhawk Wars on the side of Furyondy and was greatly wounded during the Great Northern Crusade into the Shield Lands. He went into a semi-retirement and settled into a small manor north of Hardby.
The Hawkins are another merchant prince family, that makes most of their money in weapons and armor transportation. Much of their wears come from the dwarven holds of the Abbor-Alz, and then sent north, mostly to Furyondy. There are rumors of course that they sell to ships flying the Red and the Yellow sails (Pirates allied with the Scarlet Brotherhood; and Slavers, but most of those were destroyed 15 years ago), but then there are often rumors about successful families.
As introductions are being made within your little group, another carriage arrives. The lone rider who steps out is rather rough looking, yet matronly woman of middle years. She is build very solidly and smiles easily. She is introduced as Brilta Katrina (“Just call me Bri sweetie” she says to the Dame). As her introductions are being made small thin man who is wearing long grey robes floats down from the sky and lands in the courtyard. Some of the servants are spooked by this, to which the little man seems to be smiling about. After a second he seems to recover as it were and his eyes dart about the courtyard. He bows to Dame and introduces himself “Greetings most beloved Dame, I am Randallson. Some would call ‘the Neat’ hehe. I am your humble servant and thank you for the invitation to this years’ festival.”
Sir Bernardo smiles and kisses lady ‘de Turiss’s hand. He also lightly claps Philo on the shoulder and says “Come let has have something sweet to drink and mayhaps some bread and cheese. It has been a long ride for me and my bones are not as young as once they were.” leading the group inside.
As the group moves into the castle a pale man dressed in simple monk’s robes approaches your group and bows to all. Bernardo seems to recognize him as a huge smile splits his face and he roughly embraces the man saying “Ko, you old dog, it is good to see that you still live” to which the monk replies “And it is good to see that the light of Pelor still shines in your eyes old friend” While the man looks no older then 30, something about his eyes or the way he moves tells most of the party that he is at least as old as Sir Bernardo is and that he is human. Bernardo then introduces you all to the monk saying “This is an old friend, a very old friend, Ko, brother of the Monostich Order of the Yellow Rose. Oh what a good day this is indeed…”

"And well met to you sir. I do not mean to be coy or rude, but in answer to your question I can only say that I am late of Hardby, but as a child of the road I may as well say that I am from everywhere and nowhere. I have oft visited the City of Greyhawk, so I ask you to consider me a neighbor." Bowing slightly, "Verrick Ardmore, humble traveler and dabbler in the art of magic at your service. I didn't catch your name good sir."
Catching Randallson's eye, "a most impressive entrance sir. Neatly done if you'll forgive the turn of phrase."
"A pleasure to meet you dear lady" to Bri
"Good day and well met to you brother Ko"
Verrick follows the group inside and seeks a refill and perhaps a bit of bread and cheese as well.

"No, no, please do not think yourself nethier coy nor rude. If I may be as so blunt, since you are a traveler of the road..." Defrel stops playing with the coin and begins to clench it in his palm, "in your travels have you come across a young lass by the name of Daynah?"
"She is of Teifling birth, however, looks more elven, raven colored hair and eyes? She herself is a Traveler?" Defrel inhails deeply...
"I am sorry I am Defrel," Defrel exhauling, "Defrel the Lost as some call it - good to meet you Verrick Ardmore de Traveler."
