The Forgotten Forge

[DarkMaster]

OOC: DEFCON_1 carefull with all the assumptions, I don't mind too much now cause it help create the character, but I might reject some or all of them once it really matters. I.E there won't be a magical warhammer waiting for you at the entrance of the dungeon because you said so .

The Florana looks surprised when the changeling asks her information about Pohl. She tried to be as friendly as she could (diplomacy 4+7) but she stays very cold. She answers back while preparing Pohl's tapped beer "Why do you want to know that? Pohl is a good men and has nothing to do changeling like you." Obviously Florana is jaleous of her, or see her as a potential thread (roll sense motive ???)

OOC: I will wait a bit to see what happens here before I go on with the others

Tai sighs quietly to herself. The barmaid's reaction to a 'changeling like her' is not terribly surprising. Still, inwardly Tai had hoped Sharn might prove itself a bit more accepting of differences, given the number of people crowded into such a small space. But perhaps the barmaid's reaction has more to do with the handsome man than with her.

(OOC - sure, Sense Motive on Florana)

"I meant nothing by it," she says politely. "I am new in Sharn, as I'm sure you have noticed. I only wished to offer him my assistance, as befits my calling." Tai will lightly touch the holy symbol around her neck. "I thought it would be impolite to offer my aid without at least knowing what his business here might be. The two of you seem to know each other." She glances back at the human, noticing his dragonmark for the first time. "I take it that he is some sort of important figure in his House. Would you mind telling me which House he is from? I'm afraid that where I usually travel, we see very few people bearing Marks."

(OOC - I'm assuming I can see Pohl's Mark, since his character description states he displays it openly. I also assume that Tai is only passingly familiar with the Houses and which Marks belong to which, as she spent most of her life in small villages)

OOC Sorry the (sense motive ???) meant that I rolled it but don't want to tell you the results, you must figured it out from my post, next time I will use XXX

"Of course we do"(know each other). Tai , notices that the barmaid has difficulty containing her jalousy when she starts talking to the human. She quickly goes serve another customer pretending that nothing happened

Tai, realizing that she will not get any help from the barmaid in making an introduction any easier, gives up on the conversation. Instead she rises and crosses the bar to address the blond human, picking up her spear and taking it with her.

"Pardon the intrusion, milord. My name is Tai. I couldn't help but notice that you seem to be searching for someone or something. Although I am new to Sharn, I would like to offer you any asssitance I can. If you have no need of my help, then I understand."

Hiccup!

 

[DEFCON 1]

Pohl's smoldering eyes wander over the form of the changeling woman, and he becomes even more cocksure of himself. Yep... the ladies can't resist him! However, his eyes soon stop at about the neckline of her, and they focus in on the holy symbol of Boldrei that hangs around her neck. This immediately snaps Pohl out of his self-delusional reverie and he realizes this is a religious one. His past experiences have taught him that trying to put the moves on a woman of the gods is oten more trouble than it's worth. So with a sigh of unfortunate depression that a possible conquest can be scratched off his list, he speaks to her casually and without any attempts at flirtation.

'Hello there... Tai. I am Pohl D'Velderan of House Tharashk. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.'

He thinks to himself as to how much information he should or shouldn't reveal as to his reason for being here.

'Assistance? Hmm... that is a good question. I suppose everyone needs some assistance from time to time. As for myself... I think soothing my curiosity might be a fine way for you to lend me assistance. I have not seen a fine woman such as you here in the Sleeping Snake... especially not one who would approach me unasked... so my inital question would be "what's a beautiful woman like you doing in a place like this?"'

He gives her a shy smile, and checks to see how his subtle flirtation gets received. Plus he hopes to find out whether or not this woman is indeed the changeline he was looking for and how deep her connection to her father truly is. The fact that she is a priest makes Pohl suspect that there may be nothing whatsoever between father and daughter... the former a spy and all-around bad man... the daughter an honest cleric of Boldrei. But then again... perhaps not. He'll wait and see.

Tai is a bit surprised by the warm reception. She notes the subtle flirtation, but assumes that person's of Pohl's station most likely speak that way to everyone they meet, and thinks nothins special of it.

"My apologies, Master D'Velderan, for my presumption in approaching you in this way. I had hoped for something of an introduction, however I'm afraid that my curiosity toward you was not well received." Tai nods subtly toward the barmaid Florana. "As to my business here, I'm afraid you find me the victim of my own unfamiliarity with Sharn. I am here on a bit of personal business, and this happened to be the closest tavern to where I just concluded that business. I found myself in need of a stiff drink afterward; though truth be told, I could only afford a watered-down one." She laughs gently, half to herself. "I suppose it's probably best that way. Sharn is confusing enough without trying to navigate it half-drunk."

Bonal suddenly stops in front of a bridge, hit himself on the head. He visibely forgot something and it just came back. The elderly man seems a bit nervous"Zanick, wait for me in front of this bar" Bonal points with his old croocked finger at the small and filthy Bar. Zanick can read on rotten wooden panel hanging in front of it the sleeping snake. The door seems shut. He can notices people inside and notices an old cover untop of the door at least he could protect himself from the rain there. "I got something urgent to take care of on, I should be back in 10 minutes, here's a few coins to entertain yourself. "Bonal takes 6 silver pieces out of a small leather pouch hang on his belt and give them to Zanick. "Oh, one last thing before I leave, sorry not to bring you along but I'd rather not involved you in this type of business." The elderly men grabs his robe and heads towards a bridge located directly in front of the Sleeping Snake.

Zane nods his head "No problem Bonal" and he waits outside looking at tehe people going by smiling innocently
