[sblock]*looks suspiciously at Ranger Rick* When you quoted GS in post 85 you underlined my character's name... I suppose that was an accident? and for that matter changed it's color. [/sblock]

OOC: I tried to highlight it to make one realize that in hearing "K" The PC thinks he said 'OK'. Expect more of that, k?

"Er, well, when I ask for your name and title on the paper, I just mean what you go by, so that once in the Duke's registry the government will be able to recognize you and news of you. If you do not have a title, then I'm not sure if you can make one up or not. Some are formal, like "Sir", "Lord", "Duke" etc., and some are more informal, such as "Dragon Slayer", "Saver of Maidens", "Giver of Hope", "Eater of Sandwiches" etc."

"It's really your choice what you put down there. I just wouldn't want you to lose out when you report to Delm's Heap in the future for your monthly spending allotment."

"Also, I've given further thought to the journey, and I don't believe we will need mounts. We should be able to walk to where we need to go, and since we will be journeying underground, I would caution against bringing a steed, since we may have to leave them in goblin-infested lands when we go delving. On that note, if you are missing rations for a few days, those may be good to buy and bring, and if you are missing a light source, that may be helpful as well."

"I am well provided already, so I am going to sit and enjoy a few more drinks, then head over to . . . er, what was that place called, Sunderkeg? The hotel place for the night, for a good rest."

 

[Gray Shade]

Berserker Bill excuses himself from the table and heads to the bar to refill his mug. There he steps close to Muirna and talks to her.

Lazlow:

[sblock]Bill asks for more drink. Once she's filled the mug, he says "I hope Sunderkeg doesn't keep you working this hard every night." He tips her a platinum piece, gives her his friendliest smile and says, "talk to me for a second, would you?" Assuming she does, he continues "On the way to your lovely town, I heard rumor of a great hero coming to Lizard Spit. Now, I would trust the words of a lady such as yourself much more than the ragamuffins who spoke to me in roadhouses on the way here, so I ask you: have you heard any news of such? I wonder if it is perhaps this Sir Dudley, I saw the statue of outside. What DID ever become of him?" Also, Bill will throw in a pat on the head for Rufus.[/sblock]

 

[Ranger Rick]

Upon hearing the need for light sources, Desert gets up packs the Deputy pack the way it was. He stands up and goes to Besker Bill, shakes his hand and says, "M....M....Mi....Mister Share...Share...Share...Sherifffff...ffff.... Mister Sheriff Bill, I...I...I...I... will b...b....b....b....be right b...b.....b....b....back. I ...I...I...I...will go get some light because I...I...I...I...have problems at night. Yes sir I...I...I...I... will b...b....b....b....be right back. Will you b...b....b....b....be here? If not I...I...I...I...I... can meet you some where." He than lets go of Bill's hand and leaves to go buy some sunrods.

 

[Gray Shade]

Before Desert leaves, Berserker Bill will reassure him "Okay, Desert. Sounds good. I'll be here for another hour or two."

 

[Lazlow]

". . . er, what was that place called, Sunderkeg? The hotel place for the night, for a good rest."

"Weel, ye've got either th' Grey Minstrel Inn next door - m' parsonal recommendation - or th' Water Weasel, which I, er, wouldnae recommend. There's also Farlaghn's Respite jest on the ootskarts o' toon. They dinnae charge a room fee, but rather charge ye a bit o' labor for th' trooble."

 

[Gray Shade]

"Thanks, Sunderkeg. Grey Minstrel it is."

 

[LogicsFate]

That settles that, I'll go buy some trail mix, and meet you at the GM. K jots down "Richard Kurgoth Sinclair and K". check, check.

She leaves Come on, Richard.


Three seconds later she comes bursting through the door Oops, almost forgot grabbing her special, tapping it on the table once and downing it in a quick drawl.

 

[Lazlow]

Berserker Bill excuses himself from the table and heads to the bar to refill his mug. There he steps close to Muirna and talks to her.

Gray Shade:
[sblock]"Well, hard work's good for th' soul, now innit?" she says, biting the platinum piece and squinting at it for a second before slipping it into an inner pocket of her dress. "Good for me purse, too..." she finishes, with a wink.

"On the way to your lovely town, I heard rumor of a great hero coming to Lizard Spit. Now, I would trust the words of a lady such as yourself much more than the ragamuffins who spoke to me in roadhouses on the way here, so I ask you: have you heard any news of such? I wonder if it is perhaps this Sir Dudley, I saw the statue of outside. What DID ever become of him?" Also, Bill will throw in a pat on the head for Rufus.

Rufus nuzzles you obligingly, then settles his weary frame down to sleep.

"Ah yes, Sir Dudley. Well, if anyone's been a True Hero to this town, it would be him. I was but a wee lass - which wasn't that long ago, mind you," she says with a sharp look in your eyes - "when he saved the town from that green dragon. Aye, smote him down the cliff into the sea, he did. And so easily, too! He's not the patron Paladin of Lizard Spit for nothin', you know. Good thing he was here, too, because the Mining Coster, they wouldn't've done spit about it, and it was all their fault!"

She looks around the top of the bar, takes a swig from a random mug and continues. "As for where Dudley's been lately, well, he left a couple of months ago for his order's annual gathering. The famous 'Paladins Assembled to Lead Against Chaos or Neutrality'. You know, the PALACON. Goes to it every year, although he usually doesn't stay this long... But, I'm sure he'll be back soon. Although... Now that I think about it, he did leave in an awful hurry." She pauses thoughtfully, then says, "Some people might read something into that," she says, eyeing you with a look that undoubtedly leaves you feeling as if you should read something into that.[/sblock]
