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

Bartholemu "lynx" Holland, level 1 rogue

Lynx slides into the bar quietly as Eusebius has the crowd distracted with his introduction to Veras-Re. Pausing in the dim shadow of the wall, he takes in the scene. Ahhh! A crowd! Upon seeing Artax sitting at a table with a young boy, Lynx desides to join his newest aquaintence and see if the new face has any interest in cards. "Artax! It is so good to see you have drawn a crowd 'round. This is quite a turnaround from yesterday eh?" Lynx turns to Nodis, "Hi. My name is Dameon," he says, while winking at Artax.

Nodis, Human Shaper 1

Eusebius turns to the young man, looks him in the eyes and says, "Freak? No, Nodis Thea - you live and breath, you have passion and a gift which the gods have given. That is not the recipe for a freak. It is the makings of a hero!"

Coming from someone who says that trains to punch undead in the face, this doesn´t help Nodis at all, but the boy just nods and tries to smile, not wanting to upset anyone.

Turning towards the bar, he calls out, "Hail, Kirin - Pax vobiscum! It is indeed good to know that there are others around who long to help! Would you and your fine hound like to join us at our table? I am Brother Eusebius. My companions can introduce themselves."

Kirin approaches the table and pulls up one of the higher stools to bring her up near eye level with the humans. "Well, you've misjudged Cirus if you think him fine," she says with a smile as she tosses the big dog a piece of sausage, "But you're right that its good to find folk of similar motivations. People come to the Red Dragon with many goals - none of which I begrudge them, but I've learned not to assume." She takes a drink ofher cider and rests her sheild near Cirus. "I seek to protect those in need, and increase my knowlege of the world while I'm at it. My martial skills are measly, but I provide magics of healing and warding, plus some natural talents at misdirection."

"So tell me, if I haven't already bored you to tears.... What do you seek, and what talents to you use to find it?"

[ooc: those with any knowlege of religion may recognise Kirin's pendant as the symbol of the Mortalists.]

Lynx listens to Kirin's boasting as he grabs a stool by Artax and gives him a friendly pat on the back. Protect those in need, eh?

Keeping his gaze to Nodis, Lynx bangs the table in front of him to get the young daydreamers attention. "Hey, I said my name is Dameon. Try to ignore their preaching, " Lynx says, geasturing towards Eusebius. "People like that have their heads stuck in the clouds. They think the world is a lot different than those like us know it to be. Just try to ingore their exausted countenance and hope that they give you the same respect."

As Kirin pulls up a stool to the table, Lynx turns to her and holds up a hand. "Hold that thought, little gnome." To Eusebius and Veras-Re Lynx shouts, "Hey you two! Get over here. Join us around this table. Lets enjoy some drinks, converstation, and a fine game of cards!" Lynx pulls a well worn black deck of cards with one hand and prepares to shuffle them on the table. "No coin is required. Just a friendly game of blackjack, Artax's favorite. Cards are always a great way to occupy your mind while taking care of such business as introductions and boasting of talents." Dropping his hand that is in front of Kirin as if he is going to bring it to the deck of cards, he twist his palm away from her a brandishes a dagger from his sleeve. *Sleight of Hand +7* Smiling at the gnome, he drops the dagger back into its concealment. "I have some useful talents myself, gnome."

Current Appearence: Bartholemu looks a lot like Nodis. Human, Young, Short, Light build, Black hair that is about six inches in lenght and parts around his eyes. His eyes and skin are pale, so much so that they seem almost cold. Bartholemu wears leather armor under a simple grey peasant smock. He appears to carry no weapons, though he has some small ones concealed. *5 daggers. All other equipment is on my horse outside. * Those with any knowledge in religion would notice a small wooden charm of Jareth, the god of gamming, tied around Bartholemu's neck with a thin peice of leather string.

Cirus stands and wags his whole back end at Lynx (to make up for his deficiencies in the tail department) in an attempt to gain a head scritch, but Kirin looks more than a little suprised by the young man's rudeness. "I imagine someone who can make his way to the Red Dragon can decide who to listen to or not on his own," she sys mildly. "But while you seem to have insight into my 'type', I'm afraid I don't know you... what sort of adventure do you seek at the Dragon?"

"So tell me, if I haven't already bored you to tears.... What do you seek, and what talents to you use to find it?"

"Ehhh... I can make things appear." says Nodis. "Its a great fun sometimes, and can be useful to have, say, a couple hundred feet of rope. And if I try hard I can make that something move as I want and punch real hard. It only lasts a few seconds, though. And create those darts you´ve seen before. I´ve tried making them of metal, but for some reason they have to be of crystal, but that´s enough. And more things I´m practicing"

"Hey, I said my name is Dameon. Try to ignore their preaching, " Lynx says, geasturing towards Eusebius. "People like that have their heads stuck in the clouds. They think the world is a lot different than those like us know it to be. Just try to ingore their exausted countenance and hope that they give you the same respect."

"I´m Nodis." whispers him in return. "And I don´t care too much: it´s the first time I find a room full of people that behave as if what I do were the most normal thing."

Shuffeling the cards with both hands, Lynx looks right into Kirins eyes, "There are two 'types' of people in this world. Those who know the world as I do, and those don't. Regardless, I was talking to the boy here, not you. I would prefer you to not be offended by my observations, but much like listening in on what I have to say, it is your choice. Now, are you in for a game or not?" Lynx begins to deal one card face down to spots for each person in the room. Damn cleregy

To Nodis, "You will come to find what you do much more than normal in the company of those that venture from the Red Dragon inn. It is who you are. Use it to find your way, that is my only advice. You know how to play Blackjack, right?"

"You know how to play Blackjack, right?"

"I know enough to know how not to bet." says Nodis cautiously

"I am not interested in playing for money, yet." Lynx says with a sly smile. "For now, it is entertainment only. Prehaps we can throw some copper or silver around after we get more comfortable with each other."
