As you leave the guild, enroute to Kalvo's place, you hear a bustle in the
marketplace of the mercantile district. A strange furry creature is drinking
 from the public fountain.

[Private to Haere Atu; Arvak agardener; Oly; Danos: this will be your next thread]

Danos, hoping the new chapter title isn't directed at him, attempts to blend into the crowd and get a better look at the creature causing the commotion.

14:50, Today: Danos rolled 8 using 3d6. stealth 18.

Oly separates to the other side likewise blending in...



13:04, Today: Oly rolled 12 using 3d6. Disappear in the crowd.

The creature holds a large spear in his left hand and is scooping up large handfuls of water with his right hand, spilling more than makes it to his mouth, and his scant clothing, little more than a loin cloth, some pouches, and a curious collection of sticks hung about him, leaves little doubt that he is indeed a he.  After a few more minutes of this he turns aside from the fountain and removes the last shred of doubt by relieving himself on a nearby statue.


[Private to GM: Not that well it would seem ....

15:44, Today: Secret Roll: Haere Atu rolled 14 using 3d6. Perception @13  how well is he keeping tabs on the crowd? ]

Drawing the short straw, I walk to the inner edge of the crowd near the beast and get the attention of someone in the crowd
"I'm new here, is this normal or is that bad?"

In reply to Arvak Garver (msg # 5):

Um... You ARE the short straw ;-)


Oly works to the front as well, and judges this is a foreigner who is out of place -
D'you zpeak any of da common languagez? He asks the Barbarian

Visibly startled by the sudden voice nearby the creature turns suddenly toward the speaker, unfortunately without ceasing his previous activity.  "Speak good.  Who you small man?"

I am Oly... and if zmall... I am kinds quick too. Zo whad do you need here?



19:14, Today: Oly rolled 8 using 3d6. Dodge.

The 'small straw' :-) makes his way over to be within assistance range of Oly if things go poorly.

In reply to Oly (msg # 8):

Having recovered from his startle and finished the task at hand the creature replies.

"No need.  Come see big place, big men.  You not big."

As it appears that danger is not imminent, Danos exits the crowd and joins his companions.

"Greetings, traveler. If you're quite done waving that spear of yours at the whole of the market, we'd like to know what brings you here."

"You talk fancy, not listen.  Come see big place, big men."

Da big men are not big like you ... dey are big in whad dey condrol... Kinda like Chiefs. (Assuming he knows what a chief is)
