[LPF] The Curse of the Brown Auroch

[Commander_Fallout]

Samad followed Pirvinia into the tavern, though it felt off. This place was far different from the Dunn Wright Inn, whereas that place was always full of life, here it was quiet and still, like the desert at night, the Moon-Panther silently stalking above. He glanced about, making mental notes of what was where. These people didn't seem like threats, though, truly, it was hard to tell.

Pirvinia von Lichenstein, Human Female

Pirvinia replies with joke, "Ghosts in a bottle? No thank you." There was a twinkle in her eye to match her playful smile.

No expecting a reply about ghosts, she continues with a more conversational tone, "Some house wine would be nice. Is this all you have for entertainment? Sullen patrons drowning sorrows in their ale? Not a bard or anything? Or is it just a slow night?"

Paskell took a quick look around the tavern in case anything was off other than the fact that it seems lacking life for a local watering hole. After thinking that the party was trying to avoid the issue, the tengu took a seat at the bar as well and asked sarcastically "nothing takes the life out of the party when someone can't keep his hands off the ladies. Even if he's already married don't you think?" while making lewd gestures with his hands in front of the half orc in question.

The crowd in the tavern rustle at the arrival of the group. A few patrons get up and leave. The half-orc behind the bar sits nearly motionless, only occasionally swirling the contents of the bottle he is holding and staring at the moving liquid. The woman walks over to Paskell with an amused look on her face. She places a couple of glasses in front of the group. Pouring a glass of red wine for Pirvinia, she looks up.

"Just a quiet night, miss."

[sblock=Samad's Perception]You see the room as described. The half-orc appears to be very drunk and sweaty. He has deep scars on his knuckles, but is unarmed.[/sblock]

[sblock=Pirivinia's Sense Motive & Perception]You feel the barmaid wants to believe that what she is telling you is the truth. You see what has been already described around the tavern.[/sblock]

Pirvinia von Lichenstein, Human Female

Pirvinia glances at the half-orc and his melancholy disposition. He doesn't look like a rampaging woman beater at the moment. She suspects that Grenish failed to impress upon her sister that she tried to stop the half-orc from getting drunk and he backhanded her for it when she failed to listen. Even if the advice was for Flerg's own good.

Still trying to make pleasant conversation until the men decide they are going to go confront the half-orc, she says to the woman, "Is it always like this, then? It feels like a wake, and not the celebratory kind the dwarves are known for."

"This place is dead, if you pardon my saying so."

[Gorgon Heap]

Lightfeather follows Pirvinia and let's the more outgoing woman do the talking. She crinkles her nose at the reek of the place (and its patrons) and tries not to attract any attention. She takes a spot with a clear line of sight to the exit and the half-orc, but remains a distance from everyone - keeping plenty of room for bow use if necessary.

 

[omnitricks]

Paskell wasn't too happy with the lack of reaction from the half orc. In fact he was more surprised that it was the woman who reacted. With the half orc occupied with his drink he decided that the woman was more suspicious and took to studying her while the undead hunter makes conversation.

GM: If you haven't already given a position with coordinates, please provide one. I'll update the map, before we move on.

The woman bristles a bit at Pirvinia's comments and then smiles politely.

"You caught us on a...off night. If the tavern is not of your liking, there are others you can find close by. I'm sure they'll have entertainment of your liking."

[sblock=Paskell]You feel like she believes what she is telling you, albeit she's a little on edge.[/sblock]

 

[Commander_Fallout]

Nothing seemed too out of place here. Samad sat at the bar next to Pirvinia, attempting as best he could to seat himself between her and the orc, as was agreed. Still, a hint of doubt gnawed at him. The elf leaned over and whispered, "Are we sure that this is him? He seems more troubled than cruel."
