[Tavern Thread] The Dunn Wright Inn

[Maidhc O Casain]

Franco snatches his gaze away from Ariel, plainly surprised at being addressed directly. "Oh, um, er . . ." He appears to be considering his words carefully. Righting wrongs? This girl does great things for one so young!

"I, um, got into a little trouble at home and my father decided I should be kept out of the way so I wouldn't be an embarrassment to him," he says bitterly. "I got bored . . . and a little lonely. That little cabin he exiled me to is beautiful, and I love to hunt, but after a few months I started to crave some human company." As he speaks, he relaxes just a little and his tongue seems to lose some of its stiffness.

Beggar's Belief

The door swings open and what appears to be a beggar enters. He is middle aged with a careworn face, and wears a much patched robe that has faded to a muddy brown and is cinched around his waist with a frayed rope. His hairline has not so much receded as been routed by time, and he walks with a pronounced limp.

He hobbles over to a table in the corner and turns to face those assembled.

"May I have your attention, I am Jovrin Knesh. I seek the aide of those who would help a former adventurer down on his luck get revenge upon the creature that ruined him and was the doom of all his former companions. Besides that I can offer you the creature's treasure... I have nothing to offer now, but I assure you, you would be well rewarded for your efforts."

[sblock=Beggar's Belief]

• This is an adventure for 4 1st level characters.
• You must be able to post at least once a day.
• It will be high risk high reward and hopefully fast.
• I don't really believe in easy encounters...
• You will probably might die.

Megan hops off her bar stool, "Count me in, old man."

A high risk adventure is not exactly how she expects to start off her career, but you have to gamble to win big.

"Yes, this is what I was talking about... poor citizen in the need for help."
The Guardian says, jumping up from his seat nearly spilling his wine.

[sblock=OOC]
This is my second character, he is 1st level and willing to adventure. But I will of course stand back for people without a character in an adventure.

The Venza Guardian

Character is not yet finished in the wiki, but soon![/sblock]

 

[Aldern Foxglove]

The beggar eagerly beckons both Megan, and the masked Guardian over.

"Please join me. Now I'll tell you a little about the creature hounding me... It's a Leprechaun, now I know that conjures up images of friendly little fellows in green suits, but please don't believe it. The creature uses illusions at will and can make itself invisible, for the last few years The Copper Eels - that was the name of my old adventuring party - have not been able to believe their own eyes. Two of my comrades committed suicide, another was framed for a murder. I've lost everything of value and been reduced to the wretched state you see me in now..." He stifles a sob and covers his face with a gnarled hand.

"I just want to be rid of the creature. Yes we took its treasure, nearly a decade ago, but we were adventurers, we were attacked we took the treasure. He's taken far more back from us over the years. But now I've managed to find his lair, he is bound to have treasure, Leprechauns always do. Please you have to help me, I cannot take it anymore."

[sblock=OOC]Consider yourself signed up. WD try to get him fully up on the wiki asap if you would. I'm aiming to kick off as soon as we are full.[/sblock]

"He plagues you still, after all these years?..." Megan turns to the masked Guardian, "We better make sure we put an end to him. Don't want him doing the same thing to us."

 

[Aldern Foxglove]

Knesh shudders, "You've no idea what it's like. I can't sleep for more than a few minutes at a time, he can be invisible whenever he chooses. He could kill me in my sleep, he steals anything I come to possess sooner or later... I just cannot continue like this."

 

[fggs02]

Fester ducks out of a dark corner of the room. He gives knesh a blank stare that implies that he has glimped the all-encompassing void that surrounds this world. He replies:

Your life force seems to be enveloped in darkness. This darkness is clearly unnatural. I am willing to bolster you against these dark forces. You clearly are not ready to die. It may be the case that we will have to commit this dark destructive creature to the eternal void. There he will know damnation for all eternity. Are you certain that he has earned this fate??? Are you convinced that if he does not enter the void, then you will certainly take his place?

I stand before you as a gatekeeper. It is my task to direct the souls of this world to the fates that they deserve.

Vincenzo jups up and joins the other two with the old man! He finishes what is in his mouth before speaking, but he uses hand justures to indicate he wants to help!

*chomp chomp*

(ooc puts new meaning to chomping at the bit, eh?)

*-*Vincenzo is my second character and i am not sure if he can play yet. i do not know if heinrich will make second level or not!*-*

 

[Aldern Foxglove]

The beggar does not appear to notice Vincenzo's gestures, but he beckons Fester over.

"Oh I'm certain alright, he'll either take my life or drive me to doing it myself. You see me, I used to be somebody, now I dress in rags and sleep in gutters."

[SBLOCK=Scott DeWar]
It looks to me like - with time XP - you have just over 1000 XP. So you are about 300xp off level. Sadly that makes your second character ineligible for adventuring until you either Heinrich reaches 1300 XP and 2nd level, or until February 8th when you have been adventuring for 2 months.

I would not worry too much though, I know that there are a fair few adventures in the works so I'm sure you will be able to get going as soon as your eligibility kicks in.[/sblock]
