Well, anyway, good that we didn't go through the window... I could have missed the rest of the people... but we'll have to make up for that... it could have led to a reward from the guards...
"Horrible, horrible, horrible..."
Nicolai looks at the tall individual sitting with Bruce... The he looks at Alin"An' we were to 'ave a good evenin'... that's why came 'ere... well, not really... why did you come, matey?" He suddenly reaches out to grab one of the people attending the patrons and commands "Another dinner 'ere!... and go fetch the priest to dine with us!" passing a pair of silvers for the errand a healer would come veeery handy
"Yes... why did you say you came, matey?"
Better that half greenskin aint' gettin' that one away from us... he's agile, could manage himself on a lady of the sea

Sighing, Kelved rises from his crouch, rubbing his hands on his trousers. He studies the scene for another moment and then turns to speak to the nearest guard.
"I'm afraid they are both beyond my aid."
He points to the figure on the floor. "I should think it's quite obvious how this one died, but as the to the gleeman... there doesn't appear to be a mark on her. I would suspect either poison or magic, but have not the means to verify either."
He looks out the open window for a moment, seemingly lost in throught. "Unless you have some further need of me, I believe I could use a good stiff drink."

Kelved
"You have the thanks of the Watch and Lord Stark for your assistance Walker."
Stepping aside to allow the priest of the Far Traveller to pass back into the Pearl another small group of guards enter the room with table clothes in hand and as Kelved glanced back once more he saw them covering up both of the bodies.
Stepping down from the stage, the silence is heavy in the air as people seem to be rushing to finish their meal and drinks. One of the female servers approaches you and points to the two men who were escorted last out of the gleeman's quarters.
"The ragged one and his friend would like you to dine with them if it pleases you Walker."

Bruce
Motioning to the open chair at his table, the half-orc waited until you were seated before sitting. Looking down at the now cold meal of fish and fresh greens, he seemed disappointed for a moment before sliding the meal to the side.
"I would offer you some of my meal, but it has gone cold and my wine warm. I do not mind the wine, but eating my fish cold has never been something I have enjoyed."
Reaching out to grasp his wine goblet, Bruce noticed that the half-orc's hands were smooth and uncalloused and here and there the first liver spots were forming on the outside of them.
"My name is Vartheg and I am Steward of Master Aubreck's estates. Master Aubreck is in need of a few men who are quick to take action and unafraid of the risks that would stop others. I will admit I did not expect to find those I searched for over supper, or I would not have ordered the fish. How long have you and your companions been together? Or has this night just been one string of fate after the other?"

Working your way back to your barstool, You order another drink and see Bruce sitting with an older half-orc dressed in faded fineries. You see him gesturing towards the ragged dressed man and the one with the spear and then to yourself as well before resuming the conversation.

"Thank you, miss. And if you would be so kind, I think that we could use a drink. Something stonger than ale."
Kelvad makes his way to the table where the ragged man and the boy with the spear are sitting.
"A terrible business, that," he says, looking around the table somberly. "I'm afraid there wasn't anything I could do for them."
He bows slightly: "I am Kelvad the Walker and the first round is on me."

At the priest's comment on the first round being on him, winking at Kerwick Nicolai says"looks like you've gotten your another drink"
Shifting his gaze to the cleric "So... The Walker? The dinner for you is on me, so the first round for me is on you, a good start for a business an' friendship!" He gazes once more at the half orc weird... I don't remember him from The Snake but.... will I have to make a spectacular exit?
"We were discussin' our plans from 'ere onward to plunge into the sea of glory and gold... and you look like someone able to sail that sea, walkin' over the water" He allows another split scond showing of his golden chain with rubies, covering it hastily with rags "See the fellow there?" -pointing at Bruce with his staff- "he's already makin' contacts with the old noble... I and probably them" -pointing at the others sitting at the table- "do only quality work... which means we do quality work... but enjoy your dinner, the interesting part comes later"
Of course, he's already assumed the cleric undefectibly wants to be with them... and that the group itself wants to remain united...
He grabs a mug from those Kevald invited and gulps down some of the beverage.

Kerwicks nods his thanks to the cleric's offer of a drink, and wipes a small tear away from his eye.
"A man after my own heart."
He quickly downs his current drink so that he'll be ready for the free one offered. He listens with half an ear to the old man's inane ramblings, smiling contentedly. He's not quite sure what it all means, but the night has quietened down a bit. He frowns briefly at the thought of the murdered gleemen, but he's assured that the vile perpetrator shall be caught in due time, and perhaps the victims could even be raised. Everything seems like it will work out evenutally. Soon he's back to smiling broadly.
