He scratches his chin for a moment.  "Oh well, I guess you're here and I don't want you messing up the store and knocking things off the shelves with that big stick yer carrying so I'll see if I can get you set up in the lounge upstairs.  Renthwiate won't be in for a while, so either you leave and scare the neighbors or you can wait."The gnome extends his arm in a greeting, "Zarfoodles the name by the way.  I run the day to day operations around here."  He then turns and makes his way to a door behind the counter and opens it.  "Leonidas will take you up and show you the lounge where you can wait", and with that out of a shadowy corner of the room steps a hulking warforged, his armor pitch black, with only the pinpoints of his glowing red eyes having any color on his body."Follow me" it states, and makes his way up the stairs.-------------------------------------------------------------------------Moments ago......-------------------------------------------------------------------------The chime on the front door rings and in walks a tribal looking Halfling."Oh yes yes" replies the gnome.  "We have the widest variety in all of Daunton, no, in all the shifting isles I'd say.  Whatever it is you are looking for we at the Extraordinary Emporium of Exotic Exports will have it, and if be the off chance we don't for a small extra fee we can have it sourced and brought in for you.  Customer satisfaction Guaranteed!"Just then as he was about to continue the chime on the door rings again as another customer enters, a gnome."Yes, yes indeed, the finest collecc...,er what did you say about my package?  I don't know what ..."  and then the door chime rings again, this time a heavily armored shifter walks in followed by a tall human wearing priestly robes and a wild looking elf chewing on a piece of cooked fowl.The gnome looks at all of you and then a smile crosses his face.  "Ahh" he exclaims.  "You fine gentlemen must be the rest of the new hires that Renthwaite mentioned would be coming.  I completely lost track of time.  Busy day it was today.  In fact sold a large collection of carvings from the valley of bone not long ago." He looks over at Gellan "In fact I could catch a fine price for some of your attire if you wanted".The gnome extends his arm in a greeting, "Zarfoodles the name by the way.  I run the day to day operations around here."  He then turns and makes his way to a door behind the counter and opens it.  "Jezabelle will take you up and show you the lounge where the other guy has been waiting all afternoon". He sticks his head through the doorway and yells out "JEZABELLE!"A moment later a voluptuous young elf girl walks through the door.  She wears a maids uniform, but this one obviously not crafted with utility in mind, as this one consumed very little fabric in its design."Follow me please" she states, her voice sounding like sweet music, and as she turns and begins walking up the stairs her movements are beautiful and graceful.  As you make your way up the stairs, any guesses on exactly how little fabric her uniform contains are made obviously clear.She leads you up the stairs and down a short hall, opening a doorway at the end.  Inside is a large room, adorned with large stuffed chairs and lounges.  The exotic scents and sensations that filled the room below are not present here.  Instead the room smells like fresh flowers, with a hint of a sweet smokey smell mixed in.  By the looks of it this room was definitely built to entertain.  On one of the large stuffed chairs sits Thorn, who is staring into the corner.  Following his gaze you notice a large pitch black warforged standing as still as a statue."Please have a seat" sates Jezabelle.  "Lord Ogglebottom should be along shortly.  If I may, would any of you like some refreshments?  We just this morning received a new shipment of rice wine from the Kingdom of Jade, which if I may say is of the finest vintage."[sblock=OOC]OK everyone, here is a brief update.  I'll try and get more up soon, but it's been a crazy week for me (at home babysitting my boys as daycare is closed all week).  Once next week rolls around I hope to be a lot more on top of things.  Anyway, here is once more a chance for your characters to actually talk to one another and do some role-playing.  Not that I am trying to push that on anyone....it just is working out that way right now.[/sblock]</blockquote>
