[QUOTE="Nalfeshnee, post: 3023247, member: 27130"] [indent]Evening slowly rolls by and [i]The Friendly Wayfarer[/i] begins to fill up with patrons Some you all recognise from previous days, others you haven't seen before. All, however, are creatures that are relatively common to the material plane - humans, elves, drawves, a few gnolls, a small group of goblins and even a pair of drow (though they quickly move to a booth, away from the noise and prying eyes). As the members of your ad-hoc group slowly gather back at the inn, you spot a heavy-built man walking towards you.

A large drooping moustache covers his upper lip and swirling tattoos are painted on his bald head. Large golden earrings hang from both ears and a pair of kukri completes the mans’ getup.
