The road to Vrux.

[DarkMaster]

Rell and Morrison waits in line for about ten minutes surrounded by common folks. They discuss about the weather, how good the bread is here and when the old Vr'rult will have children with his new and younger wife.

At the counter, a young women and her mother serves the people. The young human women skin is a mix of white and black skin. Both women are very polite with their customers. At the back, a huge men, from the southern colony from the color of his skin, is working at the stove preparing enormous quantities of bread.

Morrison and Rell are welcomed by the younger lady. "Hello, So what will it be" She says with a warm smile. Morrison and Rell can see all kind of bread (from various cereal) of all kind of shape on the rack behind the young lady.

Morrison will purchase a medium loaf, and try to get a sense of the mood of the baker (sense motive please? to determine if he is happy/depressed/oppressed)

ooc Depending on the mood of the baker, Morrison may try something.

Rell

Rell makes small talk while in line, trying hard to fit in as an ordinary fellow. Rell points to something exotic looking on the shealf. "Wow, the bread in this town is so good. And you've got all sorts of things I've never seen. I'll take one of those." He too is trying to gage the mood of the baker and his assistants as well as the people in line.

Makas (dwarf warrior)

Makas nods to Calondor and gets up and walks across to the bar. Ordering another ale, he waits until he goes to pay the dwarf before saying "My friend says you are all full with entertainers and have no space for him. Let's just say he could use the money, as I'm not going to shout him any drinks [said with a wink], and you'd likely have paid worse performers in your time."

"To Moraddin!" he says as he takes a gulp of the ale and heads back to the table.

 

[Mithran]

Calondor (half-elf bard)

Calondor is finishing his food off when Makas goes to talk to the dwarf at the bar. Calondor tries to judge the dwarfs reaction to Makas' words. Calondor is chuckling when Makas get's back to the table "So that's dwarven diplomacy is it?, I must say you dwarves are an interesting sort"

 

[DarkMaster]

The young lady smiles back at Morrison and gives him his bread. "That will be 1 gobelet, Sir". Morrison carefully observes the baker's mood (sense motive XXX+3) The men seems quite tire and a bit nervous. The young lady notices Morrison observing the baker. (bluff 9)"The men behind is my father, the owner of this place.".

Rell is served by the older lady. (diplomacy 19+1) The women initially scared by the half-giant size, warm up at his comment. "Of course, this is the best bread you can find miles around, For you, a newcommer I will give you the first one free.. She then takes the biggest bread she can from the basket that pointed Rell and brings it to him. Smelling the aroma, Rell (will save 2+4) looses his senses. His mouth becomes watery and becomes obsesed with the bread. He completly forgets to observe the baker, dedicating his entire attention the piece of bread in front of him.

--------

The dwarf listen carefully Makas, as he serves him another beer. (diplomacy 2-2+6)"I understand but I really don't have more place for another performer. If you are looking for a job I strongly recommand you the mine. Salary is good and you are fed for free, plus they really miss people so they hire almost anybody.

 

[DarkMaster]

Fror, looking at Makas poor convincing attempts tells Calondor. "A very good guy, but don't ask him to negociate anything. I guess you should teach him a trick or two" end Fror winking at Calondor.

 

[Scotley]

Rell

The half-giant takes the big piece of bread. "You are very generous. It positively makes my mouth water." As they turn away he says to his companion with as much control as he can muster, "Morrison, let us hurry, I can hardly wait to eat this bread."

 

[Legildur]

Makas (dwarf warrior)

"His soft hands won't fare well in the mines," Makas says laughingly to the barkeep as he turns to move back to the table.

"Diplomacy?" Makas queries Calondor. "Dwarves 'aven't got much use for diplomacy. That's why Moradin gave us the love of the axe and the hammer."

 

[RillianPA]

"Ah, of course Rell, lets go enjoy the bread." Morrison leads Rell at a brisk walk to another alley where they are unobserved, where he takes the bread away and stuffs it in a bag. "I'm sorry Rell, I didnt realize how strongly even that little bit of bread had affected you. From now on, I will take that into consideration. I'm not sure, but I think that baker is unhappy with what's going on, and will help us if we give him a chance. I just need to figure out how to meet with him, so that no one will be suspicious."
