[Tavern Thread] The Dunn Wright Inn

[Aldern Foxglove]

OOC: Off the top of my head I believe Mark Cahnce has a 1st level adventure that should be kicking off shortly - the card game is part of its recruitment. Perrinmiller is recruiting for a 2nd level adventure, I believe he has 3 recruited - not including myself, though I hope I am in having previously expressed interest - he has said he will take up to 6, but definitely no 1st level characters. But certainly worth an ask if Ausk will only be 100xp away. HM is also talking about submitting another adventure this week, but he is looking for new characters with 0Xp.

The Sword and the Fallen Angel - Recruitment

Jael Kedric looks up as more adventurers enter the inn's tavern while waiting for Heinrich to answer his question, "Ahh, some more people have come in. Some look to be better than novices, maybe?" The priest looks to Pari and Garnet for advice or opinions.

GM: I already have Izzik on the list, but yet to be recruited IC. Heinrich as well since I assume Scott's joining, but has yet to be recruited IC. Sunshadow21 is close enough to 2nd level that I will take Ausk as a 5th and if Syldar (2nd level?) checks in that will fill it up. Please make sure the rules are acceptable IC thread. I will continue to RP here until we get the 6th person checked in and recruited IC. Then we will move to the IC thread, but with my RL sked, we cannot start before next week anyway.

Overhearing the old priest needing some experienced help, Ausk will head over to the group around him, "Pardon me, I couldn't help but overhear you are in need of experienced help. I may not have quite as much experience as some of these folks already sitting here, but I have seem my share of battle, as my leg tells me every day." With the arrival of his food, Ausk and Alf will turn their attention to it briefly while the others ponder his words.

Izzik moves over and slaps Ausk, on the back companionably, "Yep, seen it myself Ausk here can bash a bat. And if you are looking for experience, well, I have fought betentacled horrors in inky black water, battled bands of hardened inhuman thieves upon the rooftops of this very city. Bound the wounds of a fair maiden after she was struck down by a ravening flying beast the size of a horse, and watched as divine fire restored her to health. Plus with me you get Aressa, and she can fight nearly as well as Ausk here."

"Just be prepared to have your ear talked off if he joins you. I commend your patience, Aressa; there are many who would not be able to take the incessant noise." Ausk good heartedly laughs at Izzik and his exuberance. The clear laugh and the calm, clear voice seem really out of place coming from the particularly orcish half orc, especially with the scars that embellish the entire body as far as observers can tell.

"Ha, you have put up with it for a scant few hours, I have to listed to him rehearsing his act when we were with the Rundaine - it was allegedly comedy." Aressa's shakes her head her expression one of remembered horror.

Izzik reels in mock injury, pulling a pair of imaginary daggers from his back and placing a palm to his brow theatrically, "And I considered you both my friends, alas I am betrayed. Anyway I am funny, you laughed, the crowds laughed."

"It was the only way to make you stop. And the crowds were mostly impressionable nitwit country girls, too busy swooning to see you have all the comedic talent of a dead toad."

Izzik smiles misty eyed, "Ah yes, impressionable farm girls. But dead toads have all sorts of comedic potential. Anyway, you aren't that good a liar."

"When needs must I raise my game."

OOC: Next week... Aw man...

 

[sunshadow21]

"Look on the bright side, Aressa; at least you don't have to worry about throngs of adoring fans trying to run you over to get to him." Ausk chuckles as Alfred, emboldened by an full stomach, tentatively reaches out a paw to touch Aressa while clearly ready to bolt to his safe pouch if the act proves to be a dangerous one. "Alf seems as puzzled by your strange summoning magic as I am."

Krad bobs his head from side to side, shooting sideways glances at the adventurers in a bird-like manner. As his offer is being largely ignored, he decides to not be too persistent and turns away. "Was worth a try.. krark.." He quietly croaks to himself in disappointment and sits down at a vacant table. He silently produces a coin pouch and peeks inside. After inspecting its meager contents, he decides to order nothing. Instead he unstraps his sword wrapped in green cloth from his back and places it onto the table, signifying that he is a blade-for-hire looking for work and/or adventure.

"Hey I am funny. Here, ah, okay got it. An elf, a human, and a dwarf walk into a bar after a hard days adventuring, they each order an ale, but a fly lands in each ones mug. So the elf pushes his mug aside in disdain, the human pick the fly out and gets to drinking, the dwarf picks the fly up by its wing, holds it over his mug and roars, "Spit it all out you little basterd!"" Izzik says grinning hopefully and waggling his eyebrows.

"Anyway, I normally go with anecdotes. I was seeing this Duchess - not that often because mostly the lights were out - but I digress. And we arrange to meet under the light of the full moon in the stables, with their handy hay loft. So I am waiting in the stable, and someone comes in, and says, "Oh you are trembling." And I'm not, but you know you play along, I am all for a bit of role play, and I recognize the Duchess's voice... And then I hear a squeak, followed by, "Oh my you smell of horses how delightfully earthy!" And so I sniff myself by way on inquiry - and of course I don't smell of horses I am a fastidious fellow - and then I here smooching. So I snuck out and let the stable boy have the time of his life, and the next day she bought me a horse! Although she also bought me a Slow potion, which I gave to the stableboy..."

Aressa gives a disgusted snorts, pointedly ignoring Alfred's paw in her hair.

"You being a Duchess's Mistress is not funny. Its... Gross."

"Its pretty funny. Come on, its pretty funny."

[sblock=Animal]Your opening might have been a little generic, there are many adventurers at various different tables, etc. I would suggest making it clear who you are speaking to. For a new character I would suggest either Mark Chances group - who are currently cutting cards - or waiting on for HMs upcomign game which should be recruiting at the end of the week.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Aye, thanks for the heads up. Guess i should better wait for HM's game, as it is specifically meant for those new to the campaign (like myself )[/sblock]
