The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

It's a nice and warm day that you all meet up after a night of thinking. The sun is shining high in the shy already and bring down it's rays down on the sign of The Happy Years Tavern where you are all ready to meet your new boss for the second time. He has after all made sure that you all meet each other yesterday night in the same tavern. You could see his proud black horse staying outside. Little did they know about there boss. Only a few seconds after the last to meet up came he stepped out to greet his employees. He's a big man even tough time has taken it's hold of the proud man. His hair as white as snow and seems so peaceful and quite, but more can be found inside his eyes. The eyes belongs to a strong warrior soul. As he starts to speak it's not that normal whisper as you hear from some old folks. It sounds strong and very rough.

Ah nice of you to joined us. Please come inside ladies and gentlemen. I assume that I could tempt you with a nice lunch on this beautiful day. They actually has a rather good menu here. With those words he went inside letting you all stand outside.

OCC:
Please write how you look and act.

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

Having arrived early that morning, excited to finally start "adventuring" Opal decided to perform a little show for some of the kids she saw running around the town.  Whenever someone starts juggling daggers, it tends to bring the kids running.  Of course, they're usually hoping that the one doing the juggling will hurt themselves, but still its fun to see the looks on their faces.  After juggling for a while, she started in on another of her talents, tumbling.  There's something about someone their size or smaller being able to cartwheel and perform back flips with ease that they find amazing.  Handstands, somersaults, splits, Opal performs them all.  Seeing the kids' faces light up is enough reward for her.  She enjoys showing off, but the whole reason she's meeting this new boss is to do something more "rewarding" with her talents.  When she sees a couple of the mothers investigating where their kids went instead of doing their chores, she decides its time for the show to end.  She bows, and shoos the kids away with a laugh.  "I'd rather not get all your mothers too upset with me...  Now get on home."

She then sighs, and waits for the others that are joining her on this mission thing to arrive.  She slips her daggers back into their hiding places all over her body, except one.  That one, she absentmindedly flips in the air and catches it as she waits.

When the boss comes out, she smiles broadly and slips the dagger away.  On offer of a free lunch?  Who is she to turn that down.  She quickly slips in after him, her black curls bouncing lightly as she practically skips inside after the much larger man.

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

A young human woman walks in behind the halfling and the boss. She carries her self with a proud demeanor but has a look in her eyes that give you the impression that she is not overly proud.

Her garments and armorment give her away as a warrior, most likely a paladin. The symbol of the circle with seven blue white stars and red mist flowing from the center is embroiderd on her sleeveless tabard. The usual broadsword and plate sterotypical of a paladin are missing however, and in its place is a light mithril chain shirt and rapier.

In side she looks around waiting for further instruction.

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

Walking towards the tavern in the company of a beautiful elven lady, Tellorn couldn't help but wonder about if this was a good idea or not - they would have to work with people they did not know, and they would have to trust them.  Deciding that he was probably just overthinking it - it wasn't like they had never joined forces with bands of 'adventurers' in the past - Tellorn decided that since Eleniel hadn't objected to it, it couldn't be such a bad idea; she was easily the wisest lady he had known, and he trusted her with his life already.

Entering the tavern, the moon elf brushed some dust of his dark robes, before him and his companion walked over to their 'employer'. . .

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

As usual, Eleniel stayed protectively close to her dear friend and partner as together they walked up to and then inside the tavern after their new companions and employer.

Eleniel's breatplate was in direct contrast to Tellorn's dark robes, easily marking her as some kind of warrior.  The crescent moon holy symbol identified her a cleric of the Creator of the Elves.  Tossing her hair out of the way, Eleniel smiled softly at Tellorn as if reassuring him that they were making the right decision.

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

As you enter the tavern you are meet by a wall of good smells. herbes and cooked meet. You see a woman in here late teens carrying all sorts of food and drinks to the guests. She comes for you and smiles brightly as a sun. Would the nice ladys and masters have a drink or maybe something to eat. If so Find yourself a table and I'll bring you our menu. We have a the best lamb meat today and also a nice selection of wine and ale. With that she leaves. Your employer smiles and then walk over to the table in the back. The place is almost totally full. When you sit down the menu comes very quickly and a mug of water with a few glasses arrive. It seems like we are one head short today. Anyone seen the one calling herself for Rabbitfoot. She should have been here by now. Well maybe we fist should get some food befor talking about your job. You know it's never wise to talk buisness without some food in your belly. With that he turned his attention towards the menu.

When you look at the menu you see the name of the tavern in big beautyful letters

                       The Happy Years Tavern

                              Dinner
Lamb chops: Served with a nice redwine sause and dutchess potatos.
Trout: On a beed of qucumbers and sourcream and boiled potatos.
Rabbit:With marinated carrots and fried potatos.

The woman returns with here great smile What would the ladys and masters want today then.

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

Following along, Opal jumps lightly up onto one of the chairs at the table, and sits down on her knees, so she can see everyone better.  She had long ago gotten used to having to make up for her size when visiting with the "big folk" and usually doesn't mind it anymore.  She shrugs when the boss asks about the gnome.  "Haven't seen her this morning...  Maybe she's out running around in the woods, and lost track of time."

When the waitress comes, Opal orders the rabbit, "But leave off the carrots if you would please?  I've never much cared for cooked vegetables."

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

Betha takes her seat next to Opal eyeing the halfling womans poor manners with an amused smile. She then unfolds her napkin and lays in her lap before takeing a menu and ordering.

"I will have the trout please, and wine." she tells the waitress.

"I havent heard from the gnome since yesterday" she says to the boss

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

"Nor have I seen her," Eleniel replies softly with a little shrug of her slender shoulders.  She orders the trout and elven wine in the same soft, pleasant voice and then focused on examining the tavern with a practiced eye.

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

"Me neither," Tellorn added, and looked around the tavern - perhaps the gnome was merely hiding from them?  Gnomes were certainly hard to find, small as they were.  Shrugging, he decided that if the gnome wanted to play hide-and-seek, she could do so with someone else, and instead ordered the same as Eleniel for his meal.

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

It did not take long befor the food came out and the drinks as well. The woman was quick to leave this time. It seemed like she had more guest to take care of. After you get your food and drinks Zindar speaks ones more. Well nice to see a real meal for ones. Have you made all the neseccary arrangments for your little journey? It would be very unwise to go of badly prepared you know. He smiled at you befor starting to eat his food while he waited for the answear.

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

Opal tears the leg off her rabbit, and starts eating it with gusto.  She looks around her at all the fish on the table and shrugs.  'Guess the big-folk all have the same taste when it comes to food...' she thinks to herself.  After swallowing her rather large bite, she responds to the Boss' question.  "Well, as for me, I'm always prepared.  If it was one thing my folks taught me, it was: 'Always be ready to move out.'  I remember this one time I had been playing hide and seek with my teddy...  I was quite a bit younger at the time...  Anyway, the folks said move out, and they wouldn't give me even five more minutes to look for Teddy...'  A sad look overtakes her face briefly, before she sniffs, shrugs, smiles, and continues.  "You kinda get used to having everything you need on yourself or in the wagons when you grow up in a caravan.  I've taken to the same outlook for this adventuring thing.  This rabbit is really good by the way...  You guys don't know what you're missin'."  She then dives back into her meal, trying to forget about the hard lesson she had learned that she shared with them.

Betha eats her food slowly listening to Opals story. She smiles at the animated way the halfling talks.

"I had a small doll I lost once,"she says.

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

Eleniel glanced at Tellorn to see if he was prepared for their trip.  She had not really thought about preparations per se, she had been lost in her prayers as usual.  The sudden shift in subject to a lost teddy and a doll surprised the elven lady and she smiled bemusedly, forgetting all about their employer's question.

The handsome elf protectively watched over his female companion but was also distracted by the strange turn of subject.  So much so that he missed her questioning glance but instead smiled indulgently at the others for their fancifulness.

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

Zindar laughs and warmth may be felt in his laughter. Well that is good. I'll take it as a yes then. I would suggest that you get to the road. It is both long and hard. It's a shame that Rabbitfoot is not here, but if she should pop up here I'll send her after you. What you would want to do is to walk the North Road. Then you will get to a river. Follow the river untill you get to the mountain. Then head south. You'll reach the dungon around two three days after turning south at the mountain. He stands up and look down at you. Well then it's time I leave for now. I'm looking forward to seeing your return safely to this lovely place. May the Gods guide your steps and must they always be right where they need to. With that  I take my leave. Then he turns and walk over to the waitress befor leaving. When your plates are clean she comes over to you and says Your friend payed for you all. May you find a safe passage to wherever you are going. Then she picks up the plates and walk away. People are starting to leave now and it's not long befor the little tavern is almost empthy as well.

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

"See ya Boss!"  Opal cheerfully says as Zindar gets up to leave.  Once he's gone, she looks around at her new companions as they finish up their meals and says quickly, "Well, shall we set off then?  Any particular way we want to travel?  Bunched up, strung out, spaced evenly, two and two, me in the lead?  I can move stealthfully when needed, but I'm not that great at spotting danger, but I'll take point if you'd like me to.  I had figured that Rabbitfoot would do that while we journeyed overland, and I'd take her place once we went underground, but I'm ok with leading, if you'd prefer I do it."  She shrugs as she drains the last of the liquid in her glass before plopping it on the table and jumping down, waiting for the rest to leave.

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

Betha had enjoyed the meal and company, she was happy that she had found a group of good folk to travel with, for she had been sure to use her powers of detection on each of them.

She stands when there employer leaves, 'May the goddess bless you in our abcense, I will make it my duty to make sure everything you have asked of us is fullfilled.

"If you have any skill at all in scoutin I think it would be preferable if you did the leading." she says to Opal after the boss leaves

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

Shy and quiet, Eleniel had not said much during dinner, and she didn't break her streak now, simply nodding her head that Opal could lead.  Staying close to Tellorn she offered a quick prayer and then stood ready to go.

Re: The Dalelands: A Start of a journey.

Tellorn sat looking at Eleniel for what she might have to say. After a few moments of silents he nods in agreement just as Eleniel had. He speaks in his normal calm voice I have no objections to you taking the lead trough this little yourney.
