[QUOTE="The Grassy Gnoll, post: 6955251, member: 6788652"] In a dark corner of the room, furthest from the fire, sits a lone figure huddled forward over the table, playing a hand of the single player card game known as Empty the Basket. Swathed in a dark blue hooded cloak that would have been fine once, but now is stained, torn, and mud-streaked, it is hard to make the face out, but occasionally a gleaming eye can be seen as it takes in the comings and goings of the inn. The commotion with the merchant and the Orc seems to have piqued its interest and the head rises, the figure leaning further back on its stool. The light from the tallow candles on the walls illuminates a grey and somewhat sickly face, with piercing blue eyes set within yellowed eyeballs and a slight red tint to the sockets. The skin appears somewhat waxy, and there is no mistaking the black moustache sprouting on the top lip, curving immaculately into a double curl. The cards are very neatly swept together and placed into a small rectangular wooden box of a classic design that is on the table, its hinged lid swinging closed. The figure rises, clutching a long-strapped leather satchel which he slips over a shoulder and across his body. The card box is scooped up and placed inside the satchel. The bearing is erect and proud, and as he makes his way to the stairs to follow the Orc and the boy, rather graceful. A short haired white cat which had been curled up in the 'tent' made by the cloak and the stool legs trots after him, tail held high. Only a very close examination would see the red tinge to the cat's blue eyes. The man's boots and clothes are of the same quality as the cloak worn over them, but likewise ragged at the edges and travel worn. On his right pinky finger there is a dull gleam of gold and blue on a signet ring. If the viewer could zoom in on it, they would see a small letter v sat underneath the crossbar of a larger capital H, it's outer edges touching the intersections of crossbar and verticals, all in black on an azure oval.
