Paths of Legend - Tragedy at Silvergard

[Helfdan]

Aohdan's nostrils flared with a sharp intake of breath at Valen's words. "I AM NOT..." he began indignantly, then visibly calmed himself. "Master Valen, I realize you are not familiar with my people, and meant nothing by it, but we are not to be ridden or hitched to a plow like dray animals. It is a highly offensive idea to us. We as thinking beings should have no more a desire to ride on the back of a centaur than to ride on the back of a halfling, despite size or capability."

"Peace, Master Aohdan!" Valen spoke placatingly, with a sincere smile. "Of course I meant no disrespect, I merely jested, as you were jesting a moment ago. But you are right in that I am not familiar with your people. Perhaps during our travels you can enlighten me, as I know little but legends about your kind."

But you are right in that I am not familiar with your people. Perhaps during our travels you can enlighten me, as I know little but legends about your kind."

"Well! You should know, sir Valen, that my people when provoked can shoot fire out our eyes and lightning out our rears! You'd do well to make sure that dosn't happen!" Aohdan quipped back to show there was no harm done.

Estelle cautiously sticks out her hand and pokes at Aohdan a couple times, hoping and fearful for any provocation she might produce. When he turns to address her, she blushes slightly and giggles, "I just wanted to see it happen, that's all!" Slowly she starts to slink toward the door.

The response of Iphithis surprised Johen and in particular the social and economic aspects to
lending. He looked at his companions whose lack of reaction invited him not to reply to the
half-elf.

The exchanges between the centaur and the ranger and yet another provocation from Estelle
made Johen laugh. exhaustion and alcohol helping, he laughed for quite a bit and his shoulders
were shaking. Their movement made Highflyer a bit jumpy. Johen calmed down then stroke his
beard thoughtfully pff... that was funny! a good bunch, these guys.. actually it's been a while
since I laughed like that..

He followed the others to the Guild.

OOC: Back to the game.

At the Adventurer's Guild compound...

After a brief absence while the group stocked up on some supplies, Iphithis returns with two halflings in tow. One Johen recognizes as Tarkesi. The other is a young female halfling, obviously a relative of Tarkesi. Iphithis motions down to the two halflings, "This is Tarkesi Tal, and his niece, Norali Tal. Tark here is an expert on Silvergard."

Tarkesi looks up at Iphithis sardonically, "I wouldn't say 'expert'. More like 'former resident' but still, I'm one of the few people around who knows anything about it at all. Like helping to steal the Silver Arrow...twice. Ah, that was great fun, let me tell you. There I was, minstrel and small time spy for Lord Velestri, when all of a sudden this fl..."

Ipithis looks at him, alarmed, "Maybe we should save that story for another time, Tark." "Oh, yes, of course, silly me. Um, yes, well...ah, any questions?"

Norali, somewhat shyly, says, "Uncle Tark, were you going to tell them about me?" "Oh, right. My niece is a healer and I've told her just about everything I know, so she can act as a guide as well." Tarkesi looks somewhat sheepish, especially with another glare from Iphithis.

OOC: Sorry for the delay in my posting, I wasn't able to even touch the pc in these two weaks. That's because a family helath problem and lot's of work and "burocratic issues" to attend. I'll be posting again soon, see you around!

 

[Helfdan]

Valen offers his hand to the halfling. "Well met, both of you. I do have several questions. The first is, what is the situation there? Are orcs entrenched there? Do they have fortifications? Also, do you know if the entrance is guarded?" The ranger spoke softly, then paused. A few questions at a time would be best, he knew.

OOC: I moved Muzdum "offscreen" while you were gone. Please give us some kind of notification of any absences next time.

Muzdum...

Having excused himself from the group to pursue a dwarf he had spotted in the street on the way to the dance hall, Muzdum finds himself frustrated upon discovering that the dwarf is a hill dwarf with no knowledge of his brother. He spots the others on their way back to the Adventurer's Guild compound and is able to catch up with them.

OOC: Please read through previous posts to get current with what's happened recently. Please let me know in the OOC thread if Muzdum intends to buy anything at the Guild.

Aohdan took to both front knees in a gracefull bow to the two halflings and smiled at them. "I for one am glad you'll be coming, miss Tal." he said. "It sounds like we're about to get to the good part..." he trailed off. He then regained his legs and focused his attention on Iphithis's response to Valen's questions.

OOC: Oops. I knew that. For some reason thought Tarkesi was the last name. Corrected.

OOC: Not sure if I mentioned this, but Tarkesi is male. Norali is female. Tarkesi isn't going with you, Norali is.
