[LPF] Kaedyn's Quest

[sunshadow21]

Thuvian settled down into his chair putting his backpack down beside him as he ordered a light meal and drink, requesting an additional plate with the meal, before quietly observing the rest of the room's inhabitants, letting the others do the talking. When the food arrives, he takes a small part of the food and puts in on the extra plate before putting the bulk of the food beneath the table where a small snake appearing from his backpack starts to slowly dine.

The second dwarf also looks up at the incoming 3 with a questioning look in his eye, but soon turns back to his companion and says in Dwarven "Aye cousin, but given ta we'd be down ta last few coin all we can afford ish piss ale. Sides, Kalzog said somn' might've been happening here, and when he ever let us down, ay? Let me drink som mor and we can ask around. Bar's always full of latest gossip."

Draining his ale in a couple of huge gulps, the dwarf perks back up when the human female asks about odd things happening. He focuses his hearing on the two females talking, hoping to get more information by eavesdropping in.

~ Day 14, 11:36 - Thornbury ~

Sarel took the orders and filled them as best should could based upon what her cook in the kitchen could provide. The village was small and not much was brought in from outside and she purchased her stocks from the local farmers.

She replied to Damaris, "Oh, those centaurs. Yes, I have seen them once or twice during the summer months. But I have not heard from them for a few days and I told them about the attack."

"There was some poor loggers that encountered some evil folk in the forest and only one survived. Terrible tragedy. It was about a half of a day's walk west of here. He told a story of strange humanoids that he had not recognized and black dragon. No one believed him about the dragon, but he was very sure of himself."

"But the latest news we have heard just yesterday was an attack on a caravan to the north. Captain Destrani sent a patrol to investigate yesterday, but he only found the dead bodies of people that were part of the small caravan. He thinks it was gnolls."

"You could speak to him about it. He is overseeing the construction of the keep."

Ru Brike, rangerish human ninja

Ru gives the innkeeper a thankful smile as she answers Damaris' question.

"Sounds like we know where we're going next," he says. "Though if our wingy friend's gotten backup, I'm not sure we're really in the shape to take her on, unfortunately." His frustration at the group's currently compact size leads him to be uncharacteristically careless in his volume, so the dwarves at the next table have no trouble hearing him.

Sampling his beer with a grimace, Rhas listens in on the innkeeper's explanation, then looks at his cousin. "I wager tha'd be a paying job there, Umthirn. If the tallfellows are buildin' a keep, they've likely got some gold to spare. Besides, I've still got a score or two to settle with gnolls after that damned Rhat'manis job. Filthy mongrel buggers."

"We're in a bar, and even in a remote place like this, bars attract the crazy and the desperate whose sword arms are looking for work. There is no need to panic we have fully ascertained just what we may find in this village in terms of information and aid. " Thuvian speaks quietly, but in such a way that his voice deliberately carries to the tables near the group.

 

[Systole]

The tall, red-haired dwarf glowers at the tiefling. "No' everyone is cut out for life in a mine, friend," he says. "And there's always honest folk what need guarding, and dark things what need killing. It's hardly crazy or desperate to take up an axe for a purpose such as that. It's good work for fair coin."

Thuvian chuckles quietly, though whether out of mirth or mild derision is a bit hard to tell, "See, we already have a volunteer, Ru; what might your name be, good noble minded dwarf?"

Ru Brike, rangerish human ninja

Ru rolls his eyes good-naturedly as Thuvian manages to rile one of the nearby dwarves, then smiles at the bristling speaker.

"Don't mind Thuvian," he says, giving the teifling a comradely pat on the shoulder. "Shadow spends a lot of time talking to his snake, so his people skills are a bit rough around the edges," Here he points to Nora eating under the table. "Talking to his snake's not a euphamism in this case, by the by," he adds with a wink.

"We would really appreciate the assistance to look into this matter. As for a reward or payment, there should be enough for everybody after we report this job back to Venza" Damaris is happy that they might get more people to track and stop the evil outsiders.

"Uhm... loggers attacked to the west, caravans to the north. We need to pay this Captain a visit as soon as possible." Damaris comments mostly to herself. "If you don't mind, we will head to look for him. I'm sure Thuvian can explain the situation to you and your friend if you decide to tag along."

If Ru wants, they can get ahead and go to the Keep that is being constructed to check for details with the Captain.
