((OOC Sorry guys for some reason I thought the story was going to happen where I posted before. I'm a bit new to this. I emailed Tharune about it over the weekend and I've just now had time to read up and post. If it's not a problem I'd like to jump back in))

Stonecipher decided to come out and see the crowd. With so many people out maybe if he performed some tricks maybe he could get a free dinner or a place to sleep. He hated spending coin. When he saw what looked to be someone important he thought now is the time to start my tricks. He quickly casts prestidigitation and starts turning his cloak different colors. As he is doing this he sees and arrow streaking out from seemingly no where. All of a sudden he memories from his youth come flooding back. Arrows coming out of no where, out of darkness striking down his clan. His mind fades out, the images pass, he comes around when he is shoved to the ground. He doesn't know who or why but is just happy to be in the here and now.

What ever has happened it seems to be over and people are going back to their business. He listens as people say something about an assassins arrow. Stonecipher is much relieved that he was not seeing things. It had been some time since he had a fit like that. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he shakes himself off. He eyes a group of people, some very large people talking amongst themselves. He slowly walks up behind the group and as he approaches he can see through the legs of a very large 1/2 orc the broken body of a small humanoid.

"Well at least its not a drow" he says aloud. Its then he sees the new lord that was coming to town. The 1/2 orc had blocked out the boy and his horse. Not knowing if he was heard he mumbles. "Sorry me Lord, didn't mean to but in."

((OOC How do you get the colored text? When I try I get this instead of color
 

Welcome back

No problem for joining as far as I'm concerned.

You get colored text by:
a) clicking Color combo while writing text, selecting color and writing in the provided field
b) selecting already written text and selecting color or
c) using ["COLOR=color"]["/COLOR"] tags manualy (without ")
 

Garren's attention is immediately drawn to the oddly colorful dwarf at the mention of drow. Although he senses a kindred spirit, he says nothing, waiting to learn a little more.
He then looks to his newfound companions and says quietly, so only they can hear him, Well, if we wanted to get the Zhents' attention, I think we might have succeeded.
 

Logan

Somewhat distracted from the discussion with Carfal, Logan turns slightly. His heart jumps from joy of seeing another dwarf. A joy in all this orc-blood company.
Mind your manners, lad, you're in noble company.
In dwarven:
Even if some are uncouth half-orcs, half of them aren't all that bad.

But, Mark of the Wyrm is more important then personal preferences and he turns back to Carfal.
 

Thank You for Your invitation, Lord. I'll be there.

Thank You for Your invitation, Lord. I'll be there.

Ashchenon nods in reply. "Splendid! I'll see you then, at sundown."

Scribe, could I have a moment with you? It's about that mark.

Supposing that he will go along at least for sentence or two, Logan continues:
As I said before, my name is Logan Glanderho and I'm one of Dumathoin's talhund . I came to the surface specificaly to look for the individuals with this mark as it is part of my destiny too.

Can you spare some time for us to compare what we know about it?

Grogan grimaces to Kevin and says "Do you ever remember me going to any of the stuffed shirt, over importance filled, galas full of people who despise those who do the dirty work that it takes to keep the Dales safe. They need us and are greatfull while at the same time they despise and disdain us. Oh, and worse than all of that is you have to dress in new clothes and you have to worry about offending their sensibilities." as a nice line or drool slides down his chin from around the tooth that juts out of his mouth, and it slides down and onto his breastplate leaving a nice wet trail marking its passage. This is probably the most uncomfortable you have ever seen him in all of the years you have known him - through war and savagery he faced all with welcome arms and a ready blade and shield.

OOC: snerk

Seeing that the threatening archer has finally relaxed his threatening posture, Vorastrix relaxes somewhat itself. It seemed the tense standoff was essentially over and the culprits securely restrained. Already, the various people involved were turning to one another or the newly identified lord to discuss various matters more quietly amongst themselves.

Straining to hear snippets of conversation over forty feet below, the drakeling hops up onto the edge of the roof while snaking its neck back and forth, tasting the air with its tongue. Feeling the wind with its wings, the maroon dragon calmly launches itself off the parapet and begins circling down to land twenty feet above the street on an unoccupied window sill of the same building.Yet uncertain how's it's come to earn a place at an official function, Vorastrix remains pleased and intrigued by the young lord's odd invitation.

>>"These two will face my inquisitor. And justice will be meted out to those responsible."

Eager to be seen to be helping in some way, Vorastrix pulls the halfling's broken bolt from the cylindrical leather case between its wings and, along with the discarded vial clutched in its claw, releases the objects so that they float suspended in the air before it by means of its magic. "Your Lordship, the halfling dropped these behind on the roof before he fell. Perhaps your inquisitor would like to ask him about them?" The goggled drakeling directs the objects to slowly float through the air towards the mounted lord.

The Tempus guard moves in the way to snatch the arrow, and Ashchenon says, drily, "Wish you were there to do that earlier." The guard grimaces.

Carfal does his best to conceal his surprise at yet another party drawn here by the mark, and nods. "Certainly. If the Keeper of Secrets Under the Mountain has taken notice of this particular secret stirring upon the surface, then we curious mortals are in good company indeed," he says with a congenial smile. Not yet certain that he should reveal his own mark, he goes on, "as for what my own research has gleaned..."

OOC: Carfal will share whatever a [knowledge(history or religion) +6] check provides

Logan discloses ...
Not realy much as he knows not much.
Arcana +3; Religion +5; Spellcraft +3

No luck on either. You've both lived with that mark all your lives, but all Carfal knows
is that his radiates a very dim magic.

The young Lord's head swivels to take in the dwarf. "Ah, right," he says. "Do
you adventure with this group?"

OOC: I'll post again tomorrow night if I can.-Allen
 

Carfal nods to Ashchenon, then turns to address the rest of the nascent party. "Well, I don't think this is what any of us had in mind as a first step toward attaining our various objectives, but I don't think we could have hoped for much better." He draws a breath to sigh in satisfaction, but instead twists his face into a bitter grimace and glances down at his clothing. "Hmm... I think I'd best find a place to wash several days of travel from my person, and beat the dust out of these robes before this evening's business."
 

Grogan (Half-Orc Barbarian); HP: 31

Grogan just looks to the assassin's bodies and you can see in his eyes he has an idea to give one of them a good kick out of frustration. The half-orc just grumbles and mumbles and occasionally snarls quietly to himself while everyone else converses.
 

Tharune said:

Vorastrix's long mouth pulls back into an amused crocodile's smile at the sight of a guardsman reacting to the broken bolt drifting slowly towards the mounted Lord as if it were a credible threat. Regardless, the small maroon dragon directs the empty vial to continue on its journey alone, the container finally stopping to bob languidly in the space above the Lord's saddle horn.
 

Logan

Logan heads back to his inn to prepare for the evening. He will arive in full priest regalia as this is formal event.

See you later then. Slight bow toward the Lord and nod towards the others.

OOC: That would mean stone colored robe with gem embeded stole around the neck, deep hood and wide sleeeves.
