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

[LogicsFate]

Elise visibly flinches, for the first time noticing the size of the snoozing drunks corner.


Hello Mr. Fimble. My name is Elise, I am an Abjujer. And this, as we were discussing before you awoke, This Ligeia, my familiar She gestures to a tropical bird standing on the table
Hello

 

[Rae ArdGaoth]

"Good evening, good evening." Fimble bows to each of the greeters. When Elise shows him her familiar, he practically jumps for joy. "Oh! A familiar! Oh, I want one so badly, but I'm afraid I'm just a tad short to buy the summoning materials." He strokes the birds feather, cooing all the time. "Hello, Ligeia, you're a pretty little bird, aren't you? Aww, I love these little guys!" Fimble is enamored.

"Hello, Ligeia, you're a pretty little bird, aren't you? Aww, I love these little guys!" Fimble is enamored.

Thank you

O, yes I was having a similar problem, though with alot of help I was able finish the ritual. I just summoned her so she is still a bit shy

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Yes, and I'd help you too Fimble, but I'm afraid I just don't have very many of your golden coins left. I only had a few from the bandits who gave them to me, you see--and the Clan Wardens who live in your big barred house told me that they can't possibly figure out how to get the golden coins back to their original owners, so they told me to just keep it."

You mentioned that before but I forgot to ask, what happened with the bandits?

 

[Rae ArdGaoth]

"Oh, thank you, very much madame, but I could never accept your money. It just doesn't mean the same when I don't earn it myself, you know?" Fimble gives Elise's familiar one last wistful pet and then lets her go. "She's a beautiful bird..."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, I met a group of bandits along the road, and they had waylaid a pretty girl from a nearby clan and it looked like they wanted to rob her."

"Well, I talked alone for a while with the bandit chief and the girl, and we managed to work out some of his early childhood problems that caused him to become a fractious reprobate with antisocial tendencies, and eventually the girl, whose name was Lily, felt very sorry for the bandit and gave him a hug, and told him that she knew what it felt like too to be lonely. So then he started to cry, but he was a man and also a bandit, so he tried to hide it, but he said that Lily was free to go as long as she told him where she lived."

"And when she did and left, I stayed with him for a while and tried to give him pointers on how to properly approach Lily so that he could win her love. I gave him the usual advice, you know, he should listen to what she has to say instead of just talking about himself, buy her flowers, remember to compliment her breasts, etc. And then I explained to him the pride and joy that you can feel in earning an honest living. He was so greatful that he immediately got together his bandits and they decided to stop being bandits and instead to find a way to work together to help people, and then he gave me all the money they had stolen and told me to try to see if anyone in Orussus needed it."

 

[LogicsFate]

"That was right before you came here Ms. Lasair?"

And to Fimble "thank you"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Yes, Elise my friend, and I'll admit that this was the main reason that I came to this city in particular. When I asked the Clan Wardens where I could rest in the city with the few golden coins for trade that I have, they laughed and mentioned how this inn is mysteriously free of charge, even the drinks, so I came here."

 

[Bront]

Vanitri sips his coffee and chuckles at the thought of the bandits. "Lasair, you remind me of the fortune tellers of the caravan. Though your methods of showing others their ways are a bit more direct."
