Once again the door opens, and in strides a stranger. Stopping for a moment while his eyes adjust to the dimmer tavern lighting, he looks around furtively, fiddling with the well-maintained crossbow strapped across his chest.
As he hesitates, the unpredictable lighting in the room shifts, for a moment revealing the newcomer. His hair is bound back severely into a ponytail, revealing a tense and paranoid bugbear. His yellow eyes seem to glare around the room, as if expecting enemies to materialize from every corner. The scar across his face pulls his lip up in a perpetual sneer, revealing razor-sharp yellow teeth.
The crossbow, and a short-sword at his waist
appear to be his only weapons.
With a soft, guttural accent, he speaks;
"Name's Heinrich Kreig. Lookin' for work."
Looking around, he obviously expected some sort of reaction, seeing none, he wanders up to the bar, pulls up a stool, and sits. One hand goes to his crossbow, re-seating the holster to keep his weapon available, the other fishes out a coin. Looking to the bartender, he grunts out a few words.
"Beer. And answers. Any work you know of?" He spins the coin, which maneuvers over in front of the barkeep before falling to one side with a clatter.
[sblock=Test]Still learning this forum's particulars. Hi all, from someone only recent to this board, but fairly veteran at pbp in general. Hoping to start into a quest at earliest convenience
