Alvar puts down his papers again and frowns. It is quickly becoming clear that this is a normal expression for him. "Gentlemen, please. The task I have in mind calls for a good many hands. There is no reason to bicker, and certainly none to touch steel. Let's at least try to pretend that we're civilized for a little while, shall we? Now, sit down and enjoy the free refreshments while I finish looking at these accounts. I don't mean to keep you waiting unnecessarily, but I think perhaps one or two more adventurers are called for before we begin to get into specifics."
ooc: More to the point, I'm still on the road and only occasionally connected, and I'd prefer to hold off on advancing until Tuesday or so. At that point, Alvar will lay out the details, and the players who are interested can decide if they have enough of a group to get started or if they need to drum up some help. Sorry to keep you waiting!
