This will be a starting point for 125-135pt characters to meet up and head out.

"If I see Tarnan again, I'll have to have a talk with him about snagging the bets before the match was even over -- though I can't fault his accuracy.  Meantime, is there anywhere a fellow could get a cup of tea around here?  I need something to take the taste of JeanPaul's ale out of my mouth."

"if we can get a few additional people, the risk going underground may be worthwhile."


ooc: what time of day is it, how long did we stay at the bar?

In reply to Nodwin Zideqick (msg # 3):

"I think one more might be enough, if we can get a mage with good offense.  Given your light stones and possibly a couple helmet lamps, I don't see any reason we'd need a torchbearer or porter.  Failing that, perhaps a slinger or another archer and someone with the strength to make a big sword or axe useful -- could even be the same person."

You say you'd like a Mage? I can do that ... and I have a good archer and a strong fighter with me...

In reply to Jocelyn Lemru (msg # 5):

"Are the lot of ye gonta stand thar an clot up the
entrance, or are ye gonta peacebond yer pointy gear an come
 in? Ah ken ta lot o ye,, an holy o nae, Nodwin, ta battleh
ye be slining needs be checked. Tis enow Ah let Melchizidek
carry in ta fancy metal staff o his."

"Of course, of course.  No need to worry sir, rules are made to be followed.  By all means, here is my little pointy metal stick."  Handing over his staff at the door, Nodwin heads inside.

We shall peace bond our weapons... Brodak, Mellarill do honor Aemon's request.

"Pardon, Eamon, didn't mean to block traffic.  Let me get this knife peace bonded."

OOC: "Blade length" implies that a bow or staff is exempt; is that correct?  How about an arrow in a quiver?
