[QUOTE="spacehulkster, post: 2031399, member: 13070"] Strange Beginnings… The White Stallion Coaching Inn was uneasily quite. Earlier the odd looking group of eight adventurers had interrupted the normalcy of the Inn. All had stared in shock and awe of the group. Were they rogues come to rob and murder them? Many of the men jumped to their feet and started to draw weapons, while the maidens ran behind obstacles to get furthest away from the entrance. First to enter was a tall half-Orc, 3 Elves, a Halfling, a Pixie, Gnome, and what startled the patrons the most, a very large Orc. “Easy friends, we’re here for some good ale and rest, that’s all” piped the gnome. “Ale, my good innkeeper if you please. Three pitchers….no”, the gnome gave a glance back at the Orc, “4 pitchers please.” The Orc gave a nod in response. “We don’t serve Orcs here, in fact I don’t think we’ll serve any of you’s.” came the Innkeepers response as he looked the group over reaching for his club under the bar. The gnome stepped forward, between the group and patrons, holding his hands up easily. “Good sir, we are quit harmless. Unless provoked of course.” He tilted his head back to look at the Orc and half-Orc, who were flexing their muscles and starting to go to their weapons. Meanwhile two of the wood elves had their bow and sword out pretending to examine them, looking up curiously at the patrons, almost inviting a fight. The gnome’s head came back to the innkeeper, “The Orc there looks odd doesn’t he? He’s actually an Orog, from deep in the earth. His race is hardly ever seen and he’s my bodyguard. I am Vern Turan the wizard, a rock gnome from the Nether Mountains. We are traveling to Waterdeep to meet a friend. Rest and relaxation is all we ask.” Vern had started moving his hands while he spoke and a bouquet of flowers showered the bar as he finished talking. This was more than the pixie could handle and he burst out a laugh that eased everyone in the room. Even the Orog and elves laughed while putting their weapons away. “Now sir, we are at your hospitality” Vern stated while bowing to a round of applause from the maidens in the inn. The group took seats at a large table in the corner of the room. Immediately the elves started playing dice. Both Dank and Pudge sat quietly drinking, eyeing the patrons with sneers, keeping the patrons purposely on edge. A game of intimidation they liked to play. Felix the pixie, Milo the Halfling and Vern talked easily with other patrons. “So, where you all from?” asked the Innkeeper as he plopped down seven flagons and 4 pitchers of ale. Vern stood and motioned to each member, “This is Milo from Everlund. Felix, Elric and his two younger cousins Thalez and Valen are from the High Forest. Pudge is from the Nether Mountains and Dank and I are from UNDER the Nether Mountains.” Each raised their flagon, (Dank a whole pitcher) to the Innkeeper in response. “We’re in search of adventure and Pudge here has a friend in Waterdeep that wrote to him of great opportunities there.” The innkeeper just shook his head yes, wondering to himself “this group doesn’t have a chance in Waterdeep!” The doors burst open a short time later. Dank, the Orog, started the campaign with us, but will leave a short time later. We do not know if he will return. :confused: [/QUOTE]
