The vendor looks at Geth, ”I have the best meat pies to be found this side of the Moonsea gate. My old lady makes them fresh each morning, good meat that I puts on my own table goes into them. Today’s take be venison or pork with lentils and taters. They be 2 coppers each. Cool beer for 1 copper. Two pies and a beer cost you only a 5 coppers or half a silver. What it be mate?” As you listen to the meat pie vendor, you see what appears to be another beggar come out of the Moonsea Gate and head up the dock toward the other beggar. Soon they are both sitting on the old fishing nets passing the bottle back and forth. Merka you notice that the old one eyed beggar is joined by another just as dirty as the first . They appear to be sharing a bottle of spirits. | |||||||

"There is the place. I suggest we go in to get a feel, and start asking our questions. However, I think our entry should be as the beginnings of a gentle spring shower, and not a sudden ocean squall. So Ashes, Rystro,...as we did in Phlan? One at a time? Varrguur, can you pretend you don't know us at first when you go in?" Brin is not so sure of the half-orc's abiltity to intrigue.

Ashes nods at Brin and then makes his way inside confident that Rystro will follow shortly and watch his back. He puts his head up high and strides in like he belongs. | |||||||

Smiling the ranger replied "Sounds just right. Give me that half a silver special. My stomach is doing somersaults." His eye drifted over the beggars as he handed the money over and began to eat slowly some of the food. He was trying to pick out what they were saying by reading their lips. He ate and drank slowly so the vendor wouldn't move off to quickly and give away his position. | |||||||

I can feel that you are nervous, Grup. I am, too. But as long as the soldiers are nearby they will not move. Besides, we outnumber them...at the moment. Stroking Grup's back, Merka watched the two suspicious characters with growing apprehension. The epitome of aloofness and nonchalance, he strolled casually over to Dalton and Korgan. "There are two of them now, gentlemen. And their drink is not disappearing twice as fast. Perhaps as long as the soldiers are at yonder post, they will continue to merely observe." | |||||||

"Wait for me to go in, then count to ten and come on in yourself. If you don't know what else to do, just order something and look around." Brin then whistles and points to the water. Krais leaps in with a remarkably small splash, busily hunting his lunch. Brin then walks in the inn, with a few coins in hand, counting them as if checking to see if he has enough for a bowl of stew. | |||||||

Ale, I wants ale. He removes his right boot and empties it upon the counter. A lonely gold coin falls down. | |||||||

Geth from your position, one of the beggars are facing you and the other, the new one, has his back to you. After a few minutes, the new beggar gets up and heads back toward the Moonsea Gate. At the Tavern As you enter the tavern, you see that it is just a step above a dive. While trash litters the floor and the stale smell of old ale and beer greets you at the door, you notice that the few patrons of establishment are not beggars. There are four tables on one side of the narrow room down along the wall away from the door and a bar running the length of the room on the other. Two small stature men dressed in dark clothing, no visible weapons are sitting in the table beside the door. They give you a hard glare as you enter. At the bar are three burley dockmen, men who unload ships for a living. The kind of men that work hard, drink hard, and play hard. The barkeep stands behind the bar, polishing a mug with a cloth and looking at you. On a chalk board behind the barkeep is written: Beer 1 copper Grog 2 copper Ale 3 copper The barkeep says, ”Welcome stranger, cash up front for all drinks, if you want something to eat, go somewhere else. This is a drinking man’s bar. If you want something to drink, come to the bar. What you want?” Vaargurr as you empty your ‘purse’ on the bar, the barkeeper gives you the dirty eye. ”We don’t get many of your kind in here. Cleric! You going to be drinking a lot of ale, cause I don’t have any change for that gold piece. Don’t you have anything smaller.” The three dockmen at the bar beside you erupt into laughter as they look at you. | |||||||

"Korgan, you look very relaxed. What is your secret to dealing with the...ah, shall we say stresses of professional adventuring?" This message was last edited by the player at 14:33, Wed 17 Nov 2004. | |||||||

What's ye laughin'bout, humies, he asks, his deep voice filled with rage, so much he almost growls at the sailors. Not waiting for an answer the half-orc turns to the barkeep. Give me food wif da ale. | |||||||

At the Tavern, the dockmen seem to laugh all the harder at Vaargurr outburst of anger. The barkeeper puts a mug of ale in front of him and takes one of the silver and puts seven coppers back on the table. Then he moves down in front of the dockmen and resumes polishing a mug with his same old dirty towel. | |||||||

"Obviously, the old recommendations of getting enough to eat and plenty of sleep help too. But I think the confidence and the joy of the danger is most important." | |||||||

Anyone that wants a drink can get one with no problems. The barkeeper is speaking with the three dockmen. You are left alone with your drinks and other than some laughter from time to time from the dockmen, the tavern is quiet. There are no others to be seen in the tavern. | |||||||

"That last part is exactly what I am wondering. In my life so far, I have not faced a true life or death crisis. In fact, the only life-threatening situation I've found myself in was when my face was injured. And I was rather young, then. I am untested. I am very curious to see if I handle myself well and if the adventurer's life is for me." With a smile in his voice, Merka asked Korgan,"Do you have any suggestions or advice for a novice, old man?"
"Joy in danger, you say? Yes, I think that is what got me interested in pursuing this line of work. A joy in danger, indeed." | |||||||
Korgan Nkopno player, 249 posts HP 22/47 AC 17/17/12 Ini +2, Sv +6F/+3R/+1W Thu 18 Nov 2004 at 17:23 |
He smiles. "So we have to wait and see with you too. That fact that you like danger is promising though. Just stay at my shoulder when things start to get hot, and I assure you you'll have plenty." Korgan pauses just a second, then adds "What exactly did happen to your face back then?" | |||||||

Ashes sits quietly at a table nursing a cup of ale, watching the room, listening to the conversations around him. He tries not to laugh at Vaargurr's antics. Sigh. Ashes rolled 8 using 1d20+3. Listen check, it appears that I cannot hear anything over the sound of my beer being slurped ;) | |||||||
