Hanable's Hunters, Part I & II

Marek d'Cannith - Dragonmarked Human Paragon/ Wizard

Waving his good-bye as Hobbes finds the exit, Marek sits back and watches his companions enjoy themselves. Slowly he scans for an opportune moment to make his own exit. "I think a warm bed would be good before facing some Ogres." As the song comes to a close Marek stands, "Gentlemen!" and with a bow "Lady, I believe I am in need of some air. It was enjoyable but I must say good-bye for now. Have a good night." And after a minute finishing pleasantries he finds himself outside the bar, having gathered his items from Val. After a bit he begins the short trek to his room, all the while formulating what will be needed for the challenges ahead.

Whitlok Dwarf Ranger/Extreme Explorer

As each of his friends and work mates left the McGuffin Whitlok reflected on the job yet at hand. The last encounter with ogres had been tough, and he expected that tracking down more of them, and whoever was leading them, might be even tougher. He was concerned that some might not make it back, in fact he fully expected that this would be the last campaign for some of the Hunters. Suppressing a sigh he slowly stood up, his back creaking and a grimace souring his face "What will be will be" he thinks to himself as he unceremoniously picks Digga up, nods at the staff and retrieves his equipment from Val "Well another day is over and a new one awaits just over the horizon - time for bed me old mate" he says as he sets Digga down and strides purposefully towards his bunk.
 

Firavel d’Thuranni, Male Elf Rogue/Dragonmark Heir

Firavel quietly watches his companions leave, while slowly consuming his mead, but decides to stay and keep Selene company. After they depart he begins to softly sing a few less ribald and much more calm elven songs (in elven) and relaxes in the quieter atmosphere, contemplating the ogres he and his new companions will be forced to engage in the near future.
 

Hobbes - Shifter Ranger 2/Barbarian 3

The next morning I will arise early and make my way to the marketplace and grab some breakfast. When done with that I will look to purchase some healing potions and then make my way to The Hunter's HQ's looking for my friends and learning about this mission where I get to happily kill some more ogres.
 

The next morning there is a note that was sliped under each of your doors, that reads: Gather your things and settle anything else you may need to, there will be a briefing mid-afternoon. After which, you will be leaving tomorow morning.

Signed by Hanable himself.
 

Coming to full wakefulness, it takes a moment for Marek to remember where (her bed) and with whom (Alia Geren - a fellow hunter). But once he does he cannot help the smile that crosses his face.

Ah, it was a nice bit of luck running into her. Just the thing I needed to ready me for the task ahead.

And with a few deft move, evidence of much practice, Marek soon extricates himself without waking his companion. Being extremely careful not to rouse her he kisses her forehead before gathering his clothes.

Sleep well!

Stealing into the hall he quickly slips into his pants and shirt, before moving down the hall to his own domicile. Once there he notices a note slipped under the door, and he immediately begins reading. Understanding the need for speed, he again strips of his clothes and quickly washes up. The dresses in some more appropriate clothes he settles down to make a last minute change to his spells.

(An hour later) Mareks stands and replaces his spellbook back in his haversack. Now with all the needed bits completed he moves on to get a quick bite and last minute shopping before the meeting.

Whitlok rises early and goes through his usual morning ritual when staying at 'home'. A walk in the nearby forest to clear his thoughts and attune himself to nature once again, and an hour at martial exercise. He then heads back to his bunk and shakes Digga awake so they can both get some breakfast.

Whitlok spends up big on breakfeast at the McGuffin, which provides him with a sumptous, big, long dwarven breakfeast (a feast in every sense of the word) which he eats sitting on the McGuffin's porch. (OOC: 20gp?) He takes his time with breakfeast, eating slowly and enjoying every mouthful. Enjoying a cigar after each course, the only thing making it less than perfect was that his mug was filled with water not ale.

Digga, after eating his fill, falls asleep under the table at Whitlok's feet.

When it's time to muster for briefing Whitlok shakes Digga awake and strides quickly to the meeting place, Digga ambling slowly along behind.
 

Firavel d’Thuranni, Male Elf Rogue/Dragonmark Heir

After an hour Firavel leaves the McGuffin, reclaiming his weapon belt and dagger from Val, before returning to his quarters. Sitting cross-legged on his bed, he places his unsheathed longsword before him before entering reverie.

Finishing his meditations in the predawn hours, Firavel buckles on his weapon belt and resheathes his sword before moving silently out of the hunter’s headquarters and into the forest. He spends several hours roaming the woods in the predawn light, before watching the sunrise from the edge of the forest.

Returning to the mess he takes a simple breakfast before entering the training area to sharpen both his martial and covert skills for several hours. Completing his exercises Firavel returns to his quarters to tend and pack his gear, making sure everything is in good repair for their forthcoming venture.

Finding himself with a little time before the mid-afternoon briefing he reenters the mess to grab a quick lunch, which he takes with him while he wanders the town looking through various shops to see if anything catches his interest before going to the briefing.
 

*After the others leave, Selene chats quietly with Firavel, then sits and listens to his elven songs. When everyone is gone, she decides to enter the woods, locating the cozy little glade with a clear blue lake that she had found on her way here, and she slips off her clothes and enters the cool water, silently contemplating what she has learned today as she comes in tune with nature. When she is done, she lets the cool wind dry her off, washes her clothes with a quick orison, and then puts on her nightshift and goes to sleep in the glade, cuddling up to Amairgen as she has always done ever since the cinnamon-coloured bear was a lonely little cub.*

(OOC: Does the message find Selene in the woods, or will she need to return to the McGuffin to get it? If the latter, she may be fashionably late :D)

OOC: It's in her room back at HQ, so she'll probably be fashionably late unless she was followed by someone ;)
