Heroics around Hommlet [IC]

Geryn listens to Guntrop with interest. At the mention of the distance he grimaces, but then brightens at the prospect of making the journey in a cart.

"I must admit I am travel sore, and a cart and a strong donkey would make the journey much more pleasant. I say we pool our resources for the deposit."

He then listens to Dirk's insulting speech, smiles at the man, and turns back to the mine owner. "Is that the ass you mentioned, Gunthrop?"
 

Thinks:"Work? 30 gold. A few days, better than nothing."

Astatia stands and infiltrates into the conversation. It's a short, emaciated and rather feral looking elf of indeterminate gender, who when she speaks demonstrates little of the charm or urbanity that Raven displays, "Sir, I have a fair familiarity with the wilds and a mount to boot. I would be glad to join your party having acted as caravan scout and escort on previous occassions.

After Derk's interuption she speaks without even looking at him, "Surely a Great Hero such as yourself has higher quests and richer prizes to chases than acting as messanger boy for a mere 30 pieces, and not even platinum at that."

"Well, little man, at least I'm smart enough not to be needing one anywhere soon, unlike that friend of yours, if he ever makes such a remark again." Derk unsheats one of his swords a little while saying that. "And to answer the lady, I need to kill what I will be saving later. Why don't you try to figure that one out, little man?"

The Dwarf is too drunk to even notice what's going on. For those who are still paying attention, he describes a dark fight against some sturdy subterren creature he calls an umber hulk, which they met in the caves on the way to the dragon's lair. His comrades are more alert, as are the elves. Most of them checked if their own weapons are ready to be used. The elves briefly talk to each other, while the group with the dwarf signals each other with their hands. Both maids make sure they stay away from Derk. Guntrop keeps an eye open at the man. The barkeep seems to be ignoring him.

Damien stands up abruptly and puts a hand on his own sword. "I suggest you leave these people alone and sit down. I am in their company now and I will not have their name's sullied by some filthy knave in a bar!" his eyes narrow on Derk, waiting for an agressive move from the man.
 

"Children."

Astatia stands and tries to interpose herself between Damien and Derk, facing Damien and looking him square in the eye"This is NOT worth it"
 

Damien returns Astatia's gaze for a moment and then glances back towards Derk. He stood his ground. He would not go as far as to initiate a fight with the man, but he would be ready to defend the party if Derk chose to draw his sword and make this physical.
 

Gideon looks nervously from Derk to his companions and back again. Turning to Geryn, he whispers, "Are all adventurers like this?"
 

Laughing again, Col extends his hand to Derk "Good show. You are the first non-gnome I know of to get a hard riddle that fast. Really though, why would you take this job? If you can clear out a mine full of hobgoblins, cant you find something just as easy for you with better rewards?
