Hanable's Hunters, Part I & II

[Bront]

Selene & Firavel -
Hanable calls you both into his office.

"Firavel, I'd like you to meet Selene Siobhan. She's a new recruit with the hunters, and will be assigned to yours and Whitlok's team. I want you to keep an eye on her and help her out with any questions she may have. Whitlock should be back any day now, so make sure she's introduced. She's good with the outdoors, and can be quite convincing if she decides to be."

"Selene, this is Firavel d'Thuranni. He's been with the Hunters for a while now, and has proven himself admirably. He'll get you set off on the right foot. You'll be joining a team with him as soon as the rest of them get back, which, as I said, will be in a day or two."

"Once Whitlok's team comes back, they'll have a couple of days off before we give you all your next mission. I suggest you use the time getting to find out a little about the other team members and gathering your things. You'll have less than 24 hours once we're ready with your new assignment."

"If there are no more questions, you are free to go."

Sure enough, later in the day, Whitlok and his team comes rolling into town. Most likely, once they're done with all their business, Firavel's sure they'll find some time to relax in the McGuffin like most of the hunters do.

Firavel waits to see if Selene has any questions for Hanable before saying, “Looks like we have no further questions Hanable, we will leave you to your business.” Turning, he gestures to Selene to follow him and leads her outside.

“Welcome to the hunters Selene,” he says turning to her again once they leave Hanable’s office. “Seeing as you are new here I guess I should show you our facilities and then what the town has to offer...when the team arrives and has completed their duties I will introduce you.”

Firavel proceeds to show her through the building, allocating her a room if she doesn’t already have one, before taking her on a tour of the town.

Seeing the team arrive, he gives Whitlok and Brogen and quick casual salute while leaving them to their duties. Turning to Selene he points to the newly arrived group and says, “That is likely the team we will be working with. The dwarf is Whitlok, and the large man is Brogen, I know not who the others are, but I am sure Whitlok will introduce them when they are off duty...we will likely meet them at the McGuffin later.”

"So, Hobbes. Any good shifter bars in Karrlakton?", Kerlokh asks.

Selene smiles, then sweeps a bit of her shoulder-length chestnut-brown hair from her face and says, "Whitlok and Brogen. Ok, got it. My thanks, Firavel. This McGuffin...from the way you speak of it, I take it to be some sort of inn or tavern?"

“It is indeed a tavern Selene...the hunters often spend their free hours there so it would be a likely place to meet them all in a casual setting.”

Background/general info: Next to the Hunters HQ (Which as I said earlier, has several rooms for those staying there at the time, as well as a baraks for any overflow, a mess hall, several training areas, a few briefing rooms, some office space, a warehouse attached, a stables, and a few areas for just relaxing in, and that's just what you know), is The McGuffin.

Over the door, a sign with a Black Flacon Statue stands next to The McGuffin carved in stone. The tavern itself is fairly large, and gets a lot of traffic from the Hunters, their guests, employers, and other travelers looking for adventure. The McGuffin is run by the halfling Bronson d'(Halfing Hospitality House)*, who had the bar specificly built so he could serve his taller patrons. His only two rules are No Fighting and Leave your weapons at the door. His large Half-orc Bouncer Rhundar keeps watch, making sure that no one breaks these rules. A beautiful changeling woman named Val keeps the weapons and coat check organized. She has a habit of showing up to work in a different form each day, but she's always got the same delightful voice and same deep blue eyes.

*Sorry, don't have my book around at the moment, I'll fill it in later

"I see...that is useful information--my thanks Firavel. Heh, I still can't believe that I'm to be a treasure-hunter...Amairgen is laughing at me, aren't you boy?" she reaches over and pets her cinnamon-coloured bear behind the ears and he yawns lazily in return, which sort of looks like laughing.

Hobbes Shifter Ranger 2/Barbarian 3

"So, Hobbes. Any good shifter bars in Karrlakton?", Kerlokh asks.

"The only bar I have ever felt welcomed at is the McGruffin otherwise most of the lower people do not like my kind. I probably will go there for a bite to eat and then a drink or two but then I plan on finding some nice wilderness somewhere to lose myself in. Being within the confines of the city for too long and I start to get edgy." Shifitng just a little bit to show his longer fangs and claws, "and when I get edgy things might happen that I would rather not have to deal with. Come friend lets go tear into some food and drink"

Firavel d’Thuranni, Male Elf Rogue/Dragonmark Heir

Firavel looks towards the magnificent bear, finally realising it is more than just a well trained pet...it must be a special companion like Whitlok’s badger Digga. Moving around Selene he presents himself to the bear for inspection saying, “Amairgen, I am Firavel.”

 

[Rystil Arden]

*Amairgen sniffs Firavel a bit, as bears are wont to do when they want to get to know someone, and then he stands up on his hind legs and holds out his paw.*

*Selene laughs, a sound like the tinkling of light crystals.*

"I think he wants to shake your hand in acquaintance.--You silly bear!"

*She ruffles Amairgen's fur a little bit and gives him a little hug.*

"I've used my magic to talk to him a few times, and he doesn't really understand me most of the time, but sometimes he picks up on things through our talks and our bond," Selene explains.
