Bargal Dulg

The line slowly dwindles.  At the front of the line is a towering Anthros warrior bristling with spikes from his leather harness buried beneath his fur.  He carries one of the strange two-handed disc launchers a rare few of that race favor but no melee weapon.  Knowing the claws sheathed within his fingers, you understand completely his lack of need for one.

Following him in line:

A Kradok wearing a chain shirt and carrying a short spear.  Various bags, potions, and scrolls hang from his muscular frame and he may be a spell caster of some kind or just a well equipped rogue. [Private to Kiro Latroony: This is Kiro.]

An Invar and a heavily armored hobgoblin are next.  The Invar is dressed in scholarly robes and seems calm and patient.  His bodyguard(?) does not fidget, but he does look around tirelessly for any danger. [Private to Vertium Thrusius: This is Vertium and Grondor.]

At the end of the line are two humans.  One is a young man wearing travel gear bearing the holy symbol of Halai.  The other catches the eye more, though.  Long blond hair tied back into an efficient pony tail is offset by a shining black body suit of armor that looks like nothing less than Echtinik carapace.  On her back she carries a wicked looking bow with blades at the ends. [Private to Genovia Swiftfoot; Tyler Darkwatch: This is Tyler and Genovia.]

After the last two arrive, Grondor turns to them and smiles a toothy smile.  "A bit far from home, little ones?"

GM: Sorry folks.  Thought I had this updated for release.  I came in today and it was still only the Kradok.  The thread is open for posting.

Re: Bargal Dulg

 With a smile to the hobgoblin, he shrugs and touches his holy symbol, Far from my order?, some, but the roads are my temple and my feet are my prayers as we traveled to this good place.  Umm, iam sure we will enjoy our stay here but might you suggest a goodly inn with good food and at least decent wine?.

 With Genovias skill and help they had little trouble on the journey and they had gained knowledge of the lands that the road had passed thru. Now they only had to find some new heros that would believe them about the mission.

Grondor nods at Genovia and turns to Tyler.  "This is the only place for non-soldiers like me and non-Unbular like the rest of you here in line.  It's decent enough."  He looks around and shrugs.  "Why are you at Bargal Dulg, priest, if you don't mind me asking?"

Re: Bargal Dulg

 Glancing back to the swordsman with his steady calm gaze, no sir, i have no problem telling you about the vision i have had that has brought me here. Haliel sent me here to warn the leaders of this land to make ready to join forces with the other races because there is coming a great danger to all the lands, the message was carried by a messenger from the heavens, i have delivered the message to the kradoks now i am come to here.

 He debated if he should mention that they would find some here to join thier group but withheld that information for now.

Re: Bargal Dulg

Vertium looked as the two humans approched. He didn't speak to the humans not yet. Instead, he spent a while studying them. He always found their form so weird to look at with their small round ears and their rough looking hands.

The women was fishy but that was common for humans, most of them were barely above animals. All they thought about was food and reproduction. He has this thought confirmed when the male spoke out. One of his first questions was to ask where there was an inn with good wine.

However, the Invar quickly becomes curious at the mention of a vision. Were these humans linked to his quest? He is also curious about this Haliel the man was speaking about. He questions the man forgetting to introduce himself.

"Haliel? Do you mean Halai?"

Re: Bargal Dulg

Kiro had been eavesdropping. It was a nasty habit of his, an annoying side effect of curiosity.

"Wasting yur time here. Message like that already came down from the heavens itself. I doubt that a human's words will have more effect than the words of the winged ones themselves."

He suppressed a shudder, as the memory of Adam'el's eyes swam in his head.

Re: Bargal Dulg

 With a nod of his head towards Vertium, you are correct, i sometimes use my personal words for closeness to my dieity.   Do you know of her?.
 He studied the man to see what secrets he may know.

Re: Bargal Dulg

Things were getting better and better. Now, he was faced with a Cleric who worshiped Halai. Hopefully, he wouldn't try to rob the young wizard. Then again, if he did things would get interesting...

Vertium responds to the man wondering what he is speaking about.

"Last I heard, Halai was male. As for whether I know him, no, not personally. I know a bit about him thought."

Re: Bargal Dulg

 The man was seeking to test him it seemed, if so then he had other things that should be done rather then bandy words back and forth.

 Have it your way then good sir.  Now i must be about my mission.
He glanced at Genovia and then said no more, patiently waiting for the line to move forward.

Re: Bargal Dulg

While the group spoke, the last of the daystar rays disappeared over the horizon.  The door to the boarding house opened wide and another human wandered in.  This one was even stranger than the others.

[Private to Frostskin: Please describe yourself and your entrance to the others.]

[Private to Tyler Darkwatch: I suggest you go back and read the thread Concerning the Gods and brush up on the deities.  I don't know if your mistakes were intentional but I would play them off as bits of humor and/or misdirection, which is natural for Halai's followers.]

[Private to Vertium Thrusius: You know pretty much everything that is in the Concerning the Gods thread.  You realized that it is quite possible that the human cleric is pulling your leg.  In a burst of insight, you realize that Halai's profile/portfolio might include Knowledge given that his main followers are rogues, thieves, bards, and spies.]

Re: Bargal Dulg

Vertium would let the humans walk away if they wish. He had no reason to seek the company of humans and even less reason to trust them. Especially since one of them openly claimed to be a worshiper of Halai. He was slightly worried about a thought that had just gone through his head. [Private to GM: Why would anyone trust a being like Halai with something as important as knowledge?]

She shrugs as Tyler looks at her, but looks to Grondor.

"You look like you might know your way around some of the tougher parts of town, would you happen to know where I can get some supplies?"

Re: Bargal Dulg

Humans were such volatile things. His old master had equated them to a kind of snake: quick to strike, quick to run, and quick to be smashed beneath the bootheel.

Kiro had mixed feelings about humans in general, based on what little he knew, and considering where he was off to next, perhaps it was in his best interest not to attempt to anger them. He wasn't sure on the current humans' status, but he really didn't want to be met on the edge of the human lands by an armed arresting party. So he tried to err on the side of caution, especially with a Halain.

"So...this is taking longer than expected," Kiro murmured trying to break up the awkward silence that followed the Human and Invar's discussion.
