Tavern Tales Chapter #1: The Forgotten Forge

[Ashy]

Snow-in-Dusk's lilly white brow furrows and she has a half-frown, half-determined look upon her pretty features. "Aye, he did! He still has the journal, at least, and told the Sergeant that he did not! What's worse is we cannot turn him in now, Litlow - I know little of city laws, but I know at least that those found harboring criminals-", the shifter looks over to the sleeping changeling, "are considered the same..." Her unusual, pale eyes flit over to the gnome and her voice changes a bit, the ragged, scared edge coming out of it, replaced by an almost purring smoothness. "I am afraid that you and I are in this together, Litlow, for I do not trust our companions. Warforged are harsh, single-minded creatures - you have but to look at Hammer's actions to see this. I fear telling him these things, I would hate to bear the reprisal..."

The shifter lopes over to the gnome and she sits on her haunches, placing one overly furry hand on his shoulder. "I am afraid that we only have each other in all of this, Litlow - but we are stuck fast nonetheless. Fear not, little one..." Snow-in-Dusk smiles a sweet smile, "I am here for you..."

Litlow puffs himself out a bit, "I am not afraid of the warforged. Did you see what I did to that other one?" Scratching his head, he considers for a moment, "As for Reg, I have an idea. She is very good at dealing with his sorts. You have to be, when you own a business. Especially one that deals with magic. Yes, it appears that I have to see this adventure through to the end. At least until I can find a way to get us out of it."

Snow-in-Dusk nods and then replies, "I know, I know, but I hope that it does not come to that..." The shifter listens to the gnomes decision and then says, "Good, good. I agree, Litlow." She looks over to the sleeping Reg. "Let's get to it then, time to see this little 'adventure' to its end."

 

[Macbeth]

Reg stirs, sits up, and blinks, taking in the room around him. "Ugh. Oversplept, did I?" He looks over to Snow and Litlow. "You seem to have been up early thi morning. Anything important happen? How soon do we leave?"[/white]

 

[Ashy]

Snow-in-Dusk's eyes narrow the slightest bit and she replies flatly. "Nothing missed, but I am certain there is much that needs doing this day." With those words, she moves over to where she hung her cloak during the night, retrieves it as well as her weapons and backpack. Donning the lot, she turns to look at Litlow as she pulls her cowl up over her head. "Time to be going, little one...", she smiles and then exits.

Litlow looks at the waking up Reg and drops the cube in his hand. "Opps, clumsy me. No, nothing. Didn't miss a thing. Not one thing." Litlow quickly looks away. "I need to find my adventuring gear." Grabs a small bag at the side of the bed. Pours out it's contents and starts to roam around the room, till he finds a large pile of stuff. He begins to throw things around the room. In an attempt to get through the pile. "Nope....not that either....ahhh... there is one of them." He quickly puts something in his bag. "Hey! I forgot I had one of those, hmmmm..... don't think that will be useful," and throws a short sword behind him. It manages not to hit anything and sinks it into the soft wood of the floor with a thud. Litlow looks behind him, "Whoops, hopefully she won't notice." Smiles back at Reg and continues. "Need this. Nope not that, wow, I do have one of those. Great." This continues for ten minutes and finally Litlow turns around and sits on the end of his cot. "Umph. That was an adventure in and of itself. Ready when you are, Reg. Or is it that other name? Which name are you going by today? That reminds me, I will need to say goodbye before I go, and get some breakfast. Those bar places, never know what kind of food you can get."

OOC-> I have my full "adventuring" gear now.

 

[Ashy]

Ooc: Lol!!! :d

 

[Macbeth]

A soft smile settles on Reg's face as he watches Litlow serching through his stuff. When Litlow finishes finding his stuff, Reg speaks in an unusualy kind sounding voice: "Reg is my name, at least for now, Litlow. Do what you need to do, and we can depart when you're ready."

 

[shouit]

"Ok, I will try to be quick." Litlow stands up and heads for the kitchen, leaving his newly stuffed bag on the floor besides his cot. He makes for the kitchen, where begins a chorus of bangs and clangs. Over the noise, his voice carries, "Damn this new cold box contraption she made. She puts everything in this thing noooooooowww.... Umph." A large wet thump hits the floor with a shake. "And her stupid fetish with dinosaur meat. You would think we live in the praire with halflings.......ahhh there it is." A grunt is heard followed by another chorus. "I really hope this wakes her up!" Footsteps are heard as he makes his way to her bedroom door. "Goodbye! I am going on an adventure with person who changes their name, a lady with fangs and a warforged. I will try not to die. If I manage to survive till tonight, I will need to talk to you. Hope the store sells a lot today." He appears through the doorway from the kitchen with a large block of cheese in his mouth and a loaf of bread in his hand. He looks at Reg and grumbles something through the cheese. Pulling the cheese from his mouth with his free hand, "I'm sorry, where is my manners. Would you like some cheese or bread?" Not waiting for an answer he sets the cheese with a bite missing down on a table near Reg along with the bread and grabs his bag. "I'm ready for an adventure." His face becomes very serious for a moment, "I really hope none of us dies on this thing. I have it on good authority that happens with adventures."
