(Tavern) City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn VII

[Animus]

"Melen, I am Garrit Kelspire, Paladin Errant of Hyrag," he says, shaking his hand, "And you are welcome company at this table. "And I am here for basically the same reason you are, though with different motivation I would guess."

As the door the the Red Dragon Inn opens and Cryndo enters and speaks, Garrit says to him, "Cryndo, my friend! I didn't think I'd see you here. Mother and the other priests didn't think you had the ability to handle the rigors of adventuring. Obviously their attitudes have changed. Well met! come and sit with us. This little fellow is Jasper, and the dwarf's name is...Melen? You know me and names, they never stick to my brain," He says, pointing at the halfling and the dwarf respectively.

 

[Cryndo]

"Pleasure to meet you Melen" says Cryndo extending his hand. After shaking Melen's hand, Cryndo offers his hand to Jasper and exclaims, And you too, Jasper. Can I rest my weary legs here at the table with you good folks?"

"I'm as surprised as you are that I'm here, Garrit. Alexa knows you are much more skilled with your sword than I am with my mace, but I think after much contemplation and prayer, she decided that we'd both be much better off together. When she gave me the news, I was so excited. I almost forgot to pack my gear. What do you think of my chain shirt? Alexa thought it might come in handy."

 

[Animus]

"Yes it will come in handy. I hope you don't have to get into too much fighting, but such is the way of this lifestyle. You're a welcome sight. Come, sit and catch me up on things back home." He motions for a second mug of ale. A few moments later, a barmaid brings a full mug of ale.

 

[Enkhidu]

Cryndo never actually gets his ale, as the moment the mug hits the table, Malen says "Thanks, Garrit!" with a look of glee on his face. He scoops it up and begins tossing it down. "But didn't your friend want one too?" he says, with a twinkle in his eye.

 

[Cryndo]

Cryndo reaches for the ale the barmaid put down on the table only to see the ale disappear like a child during harvest. "Er. Um. I'm fine Garrit. Don't need another ale. All goes well back home, but it was sure boring after you left. Everyone there is so much older and is content with their daily duties at the temple. I, like you, wanted a more active role in spreading the teachings of Hyrag. I want to take an active role in protecting the good people of the realm and fight the unhuman living dead."

 

[Animus]

Garrit looks at Melen in surprise, as he obviously got his signals crossed. He simply shrugs and says, "Your welcome Melen." He then turns to Cryndo and says, "I feel the same way. Funny, I heard all about how this place is bustling with activity, yet when I get here, all is quiet. Well, I hope something comes our way."

 

[Dungannon]

The door opens and a young man strolls into the Red Dragon and up to the bar.

"Barkeep, an ale if you please. And to the rest of you, my name is Devlin Magruder and I am recently returned from yet another fruitless foray into the world at large."

With that announcement, the man turns his back to the room and begins to nurse his ale.

 

[Cryndo]

"Devlin, pull up a chair and tell us about your foray. We are hoping to have some sort of action here ourselves shortly. I for one would enjoy hearing what befell you during your travels."

 

[scout989]

Close on the heels of Devlin, the door opens once more to admit a raggedly clothed, unusual-looking elf. His clothes are adventurers clothes, but they look as though he's come many miles in them, and a backpack on his back completes the look of a wanderer. He also wears a rapier at his side and a longbow over one shoulder. His facial features are oddly serpentine, and his skin is twice as dark as usual for elves. Overall, he has a somewhat sinister air. He walks only two paces into the tavern before stopping to look around. After a few seconds, he walks to an empty corner table, and says "I'm Luthiel Farandar, and I've come seeking adventure" in a low voice barely heard over the noises in the room. He then immediately sits down and looks around to see if he's attracted attention.

ooc: I know I'm not approved yet, but I've emailed for approval and I just wanted to start getting to know everyone. Also, not quite sure what I did there, but that was supposed to say "I'm Luthiel Farandar, and I've come seeking adventure."
Second edit: although considering my descriptive text, maybe it was appropriate after all

 

[Animus]

As the man and elf enter the Re Dragon Inn in succession, he gets a twinkle in his eye.

"At last, I feel the blessing of Hyrag coming my way," he says in a low voice to himself.

He stands and says, "Good day to you Devlin, and to you -- what was your name again? I didn't catch it. I am Garrit Kelspire, Paladin Knight-Errant of Hyrag, and these are my companions, Cryndo Cleric of Hyrag, Jasper Goodheart, and Melen," gesturing at the human, halfling and dwarf in succession, "and we would like for you to join us and tell us of yourself."
