~ Others filed into the room. Koldan pulled back his hood slowly, revealing shaggy, dark brown hair flecked by silvering trim and cold, blue eyes that scanned these others. They were in the waiting room with himself and his companions, talking to the Halfling up front when the Ranger had been speaking to Dorkath, and now apparently they had information necessary for the Orc to hear as well.
Two Humans and a Gnome ... Wait. No, one was ... Human enough. But something was off, something ... different. He wasn't sure at the moment, but that wasn't his concern at the moment. Seeing as Dorkath addressed
both of them, Koldan looked to his compatriots with a set of raised brows. Had something else happened along The Coast? How far did this Harper's information network stretch and, if he was this important, what in the Nine Hells was Dorkath doing running a restaurant?
Well ... a popular restaurant. In the middle of the most populous city along The Sword Coast. By the Docks where travelers from all ove-Koldan ceased his train of thought once he found it sound enough. Clearing his throat with a flagon of drink, he spoke.
" Well, we were in Triboar," Koldan noted, using his free hand to gesture to his three traveling companions,
" The entire town seemed to be doing relatively well, but everything changed when The Fire Giants attacked. Orcs upon AxeBeaks, small monsters composed of magma (or is it lava?), they set many buildings ablaze. We met your friend, Darathra, and assisted her in saving the village, though many buildings were burned."
He shifted in his seat, still unsure of the new trio at their table, but he assumed (heavily) that they were trustworthy.
" We were able to stop the attackers, but the Fire Giants were digging for ... something, using some sort of device to look for a thing they called the 'Vonindod'. They called it a Weapon of sorts, wanted by their Duke, Zalto. All we found was some sort of metal ring, a large one; we slew the giants and made sure they didn't take it."
Koldan gently tapped Gul's shoulder with the back of his hand, noting the staff he carried with his icy eyes.
" My companion here has the rod they used to try and find this ring. The Fire Giants ... they said more would come. And that this Vonindod thing, it's in many pieces, and they're scouring all over looking to assemble it."
He frowned slightly. Here, Koldan was realizing he didn't exactly know that much about the situation, something he normally prided himself on.
" It sounded like they were preparing for some sort of conflict: Fire Giants are gathering at IronSlag, under Duke Zalto's orders." ~

Game Info:
Fire Giants attacked Triboar looking for a "Vonindod", which they called a weapon that was in many parts. Fire Giant Duke Zalto of Ironslag wants this to "win".
Darathra was a Harper: she gave me a Platinum Badge of Triboar to present to Dorkath The Orkath to let him know of the attack.
There is a Kobold in the area of Yartar named "Lightwalker", a craftsman with 'some incredible weapons'.
There is a 5,000 GP Bounty on "The Weevil", a Dwarven Brigand last seen at Xantharl's Keep as a stable cleaner. The reward is for delivering him
alive to authorities in Mirabar.
Ghelryn Foehammer has given us a letter of recommendation to King Morinn and Queen Tithmel of Citadel Fellbar. Ghelryn will also give us a 10% discount on customized weapons and armor in Triboar.[/sblock][/sblock]
