The Antigrol Tide (IC)

Magyar Rhineholdt, human rogue

Eloise approaches the group of men slowly, her head bowed demurly, and glances out at them from beneath long, dark lashes. She bobs a short curtsy when she reaches the table. "Good morn', gents. How may I be of service?"

Magyar returns the curtsy with a bow of his head and a warm smile. "A good morning to you, miss. My companion--the short fellow over there--was just asking about our captain. Would you happen to know him? Ben Turion?" His smile easily slips into an embarrased grin. "We seem to have lost track of him, you see, and this is the last place we know where he was."

Magyar returns the curtsy with a bow of his head and a warm smile. "A good morning to you, miss. My companion--the short fellow over there--was just asking about our captain. Would you happen to know him? Ben Turion?" His smile easily slips into an embarrased grin. "We seem to have lost track of him, you see, and this is the last place we know where he was."

Eloise giggles, ducking her head and glancing at the innkeeper out of the corner of her eye. "Gee, you've lost Cap'n Ben? Don't let mother hear you say that! She wasn't too happy when he split last night, but he said it was just business and he'd be back." Her face suddenly becomes an image of concern. "Oh, you don't suppose he was caught up in those troubles down at the docks last night, do you?"

“He could be ma’am, seeing as he didn’t stay here last night as we thought he had.”

"Oh, that is disturbing, isn't it. He usually stays here when he is in port (which isn't nearly often enough), but last night he received a message, and he lit out of here pretty quick. He said it was business. For his sake, he'd better have been telling the truth." The woman's grip on the glass has become white-knuckled. Fortunately, she's holding the glass by the base, or it might just shatter. Slowly, her grip relaxes until she is once again polishing the glass with slow, circular strokes. "Eloise took the message. It was sealed, but I would be very surprised if she doesn't know more about it. She is...an inquisitivie girl."

Colmarr Blackrock, Male Gnome Bard

“Oh, I imagine it was business alright ma’am,” Colmarr remarks reassuringly, though his thoughts drift to the events of their journey to Tortila and those that have taken place since their arrival...wondering who has the captain, if he is in trouble. Shaking himself out of his dark musings, he smiles and says, “Well since the captain isn’t here I suppose we should continue our hunt, beginning with finding out if Eloise knows anything more about the message the captain received. Hmm, is that Eloise over there speaking with the crew,” he asks as he nods towards the young girl in the light blue dress.

"Oh, you don't suppose he was caught up in those troubles down at the docks last night, do you?"

Mag shakes his head. "We were actually witness to some of that trouble," the young man says, downplaying their part, "but there was no sign of the Captain." Here he turns up his charm, taking a seemingly nervous step closer to the girl. Flashing his smile once again, Mag lowers his voice to ask conspiritorially, "I don't suppose you know anything more about the business the captain left on?"

Grondar

Grondar pales for a moment and turns to Eloise
Say … we heard someone was burned in a tavern last night, who was it ?

 

[Mallak]

"Hmm, is that Eloise over there speaking with the crew,” he asks as he nods towards the young girl in the light blue dress.

The proprietress laughs, a great hearty chortle. "Aye, it is, my friend. That is why I called her 'Eloise' earlier."

Mag shakes his head. "We were actually witness to some of that trouble," the young man says, downplaying their part, "but there was no sign of the Captain." Here he turns up his charm, taking a seemingly nervous step closer to the girl. Flashing his smile once again, Mag lowers his voice to ask conspiritorially, "I don't suppose you know anything more about the business the captain left on?"

The young woman's eyes go wide again. She has such big, blue eyes. "You were in the riot last night? You weren't hurt, were you? What's that about the business of the captain? Oh, I might know something about that," and here Eloise flashes a coy smile at Magyar before turning quickly to the crew, skirt flaring around her ankles, "but surely you men must be hungry so early in the morning. We have a wonderful porridge, and fresh cream!"

Say … we heard someone was burned in a tavern last night, who was it ?

Eloise's eyes go big and round again. She seems to startle easily, like a young doe. "Someone was burned? Oh, I hope it wasn't serious! Where did it happen?"

Mag does his best to repress a chuckle as he decides Eloise isn't nearly as naive as she's presenting herself to be.

Mag sits, then, smiling big as he says "You know, that really was quite a walk we had getting here--bad directions and all that. Certainly I could do with a bit to eat. Some of the porridge, yes. And then, maybe, over porridge, we might be able to jog your memory about the captain's business?"

Colmarr Blackrock, Male Gnome Bard

The proprietress laughs, a great hearty chortle. "Aye, it is, my friend. That is why I called her 'Eloise' earlier."

“Oh yes, you did mention the name, but I was rather distracted at the time by the large bear mounted over the bar, and wondering whether you sing...as your voice is quite melodious,” Colmarr remarks with a chuckle. Noticing Magyar talking to Eloise, Colmarr decides to stay where he is for the moment and turns back to the innkeeper, “So, how did you come by that brute above the bar...I haven’t seen such a large specimen up close before...”

 

[Jdvn1]

Malachi is in agreement, "Well, we did already eat breakfast... some porridge with extra cream sounds nice, though."

Mumbling under his breath. "Ungratefull lot. They dont eat out when the other guy cooks."
