As Rell and Morrison approaches the gate the dwarf starts looking at Rell. As they are about to go through the door. the dwarf shouts. "Hey, where do you think you are going like that. He then looks at Rell straight in the eyes. "Yes, you, the ogre". The dwarf places his hand on the handle of his axe. The women seems surprised and scared by Rell appearance.
Obviously the people of this village are not used to see half-giant.

Calondor starts the conversation with the group of warrior. (Gather info roll 4+7) While waiting in line he casually chat with them. He learned that they were hired to do a job in Vrux, but they were very reluctant to tell him who hired them. He also learn that they will spend the night at the Blue cup, the only Inn of the town worthy enough for them. He also learn that they all come from various nearby villages. They are all young adventurer looking for some excitement.

OOC I will wait for Legildur to continue as Fror and Makas are ahead of Calondor.
 

Rell Half-Giant Soul Knife

Rell immedately extends his hands palm forward to show he has no weapon out. "Good sir, I am no Ogre, but a loyal and hard working citizen of Axyr. I assure you I only pose a threat to a bowl of warm stew and a mug of cold ale at the Blue Cup." He points to the mining tools at his belt. "I am an experienced miner looking for honest work."
 

Makas (dwarf warrior)

Makas doesn't even notice Calondor behind them as the line slowly moves forward. His nose twitches at some of the smells wafting from the wagons carrying the stock, but otherwise he waits patiently with Fror, making small talk.

As the wagon finally gets closer to the guards, Makas starts a conversation with Fror as both a way to pass the time and hopefully dissuade the guards from bothering them at all. "You know laddy," he says. "You really need to add some thickener to that sauce of yours. I mean, it tastes good and all, but it makes a godly mess of me beard when it slops over. And let me tell you, cleaning this beard is no quick task like lying with a dwarven lass. Ya hear me?"
 

The gnome looks at the dwarf, carefully listening to his comment. "Hmm, I understand your concern" He adds scratching his head. "I will have to think about that, simply adding too much tomato paste would just kill the taste." He pauses for a moment as they pass in front of the guard unquestioned and barely noticed. As they step inside the village he continues "I will keep that in mind, trust me I will find a solution" The gnome seems excited by Makas culinary challenge.

Makas and Fror notices that Vrux is a very average village. Makas notices the quality of the stone building. Not the highest standard for the dwarf but well above the human average. (OOC Think about the old city building of northern Italy:Genoa, Milan for a reference). The streets are crowed with various people walking the streets. On both sides local restaurants, pub and stores can be on the ground level, the three or four upper floor are reserved for appartements. For the main door place three roads leave the area : south, east and west. The east/west axis is Brom street and they are currently on Main street.

Calondor gets in without problem, the ten men are stopped by the guard, before the guard starts questioning him they show an envelop to the guard. The guard looks carefully at the seal and let them go in without further question.

The warriors waves at Calondor and say "Good luck, hoping to see you soon." They then leave towards the west on Brom street. Calondor sees Makas and Fror in front of him waiting for him.

OOC I will wait for RillianRP to continue what happened at the southern door.
 


Diplomacy (roll 11+1). Looking at Rell, and at his equipment. He stays silent for a few second visibely reconsidering the situation. "Yeah, maybe our town could need someone like you in the mine. " He thinks for a few seconds and ask Rell what tools would be more appropriate for a soft stone. (Profession Miner roll 18+3) Rell answers correctly the question.

"Ok, you can get in, but I will keep an eye on you giant."

He let them in. "One last thing, go to the Gyrass market central towers, that's where they are hiring"
 

Rell Half-Giant Soul Knife

"Thank you. I will inquire with them once I am settled from my journey." He continues on with a slight bow of his head toward the guard. Once he is away from the guard he will walk with somewhat hunched shoulders in a feeble attempt to conceal his height and try to stay as inconspicous as possible.
 

Calondor (half-elf bard)

Calondor walks up behind Makas and Fror he speaks to Makas "Alright let's get to this inn and we shall see what we can see" Calondor walks out in front and asks any villager happening by how to get to the Blue Cup inn (from this side of town) and then making sure Makas and Fror are following him follows the directions to the Blue Cup.
 

Makas (dwarf warrior)

Makas nods at Calondor's suggestion and watches him as he gathers the direction to the Blue Cup Inn. He sits quietly, watching the world go by.

OOC: I'll be out of contact for 36 hours
