Re: (IC) The Quest Begins!
Gordo dodges back when the door opens unexpectedly outwards, and only gets hit lightly, but ignores it and the weapons aimed at him, and steps in from the cold, closing the door after him. Before you stands a cloaked figure, but as he enters into the light you realize he is humanoid - but definitely not human. In fact, you quickly realize that what looked like a second backpack under the cloak is in fact a huge shell, and that this looks like a big intelligent turtle standing on two feet. He has green eyes, green-brown skin, and stands about 5'6" tall. There is a burning stone floating lazily in circles around its head, which he promptly grabs effortlessly and throws into a pocket. He has a few small weapons strapped and an impressive-looking array of potions at his belt. There's also a necklace with what seems like a rock-sized amulet under his loose shirt. He doesn't seem aggressive at all.
"That's a relief, t-thank you!" he says, rubbing his hands and blowing into them. "I am Gordo Vet, I'm glad to make your acquaintance, and I'm relieved to find you alive. Or, er... Well... My apologies, weren't you a larger group?" he asks, overlooking Sam and obviously anyone not in the room, and still ignoring, or not noticing, weapons aimed at him.
