at 01:42 | Keep on the BorderlandsRoland tucks into a fine meal of Roast fowl and Mead. Between his meal and his tip of 1gp, the inexperienced traveler realizes he has completely blown his entire budget for this trip. "Excuse me, where does one go to find work in these parts?" He asks the server a bit embarrassed about the situation.

at 02:42 | Keep on the BorderlandsThe young lady looks a little pensive for a moment, holding the empty tray at her side. "Well, what sort of work? You could see about joining the watch, don't think the pat is good, but it is steady. Or you could see if any of the adventuresome folk need another sword," she says with a nod to Faldal, Gyp and their comrades (if there.)
An older woman pokes her head out of the kitchen and calls to her, "Lacy, get a move on!" and the girl jumps startled and heads to the board to get another tray of drinks.
Not sure where Leozaren is right now, may have missed it.

"Excuse me if I am being presumptuous, but I am in a bit of a dilemma and I understand you may have some work." His gestures were friendly and his tone was diplomatic. "You see I am a woodcarver by trade..." He flashes a wooden pendant that is worn around his neck. "However, it will take me some time to craft something worthwhile, and I am a bit low on coin at the moment."

at 03:26 | Keep on the BorderlandsAs Dorn passes through the gate, he takes a moment to appraise the keep.
"Hrm. Seen better," he says, but then adds,
"And I seen a good deal worse!"
After annoying the guards with jolly banter, they direct him in no uncertain terms to get himself going. Taking the hint, he eventually finds his way to the inn.
Pushing open the door, his senses are assailed by the heady aroma of stale booze, unwashed travelers, and raucaus merrymaking.
"Ah, just like home! Hey there!" he calls to two men seated at a table being approached by a third.
"The name's Dorn. Pleased to meet you and can a fellar find hisself a decent ale in this place?"

at 06:56 | Keep on the BorderlandsHappy to be back in the tavern Gyp did his best to smile and any ale he drank was medicinal only of course.
As newcomers came he had to resist the urge to leap up and bow, instead he nodded his head and introduced himself.
“Greetings master Roland and master Dorn” he pointed to young cleric with him “this is my companion Faldal, faithful and brave” he then lifted his tankard “I'm Gyp. A toast to a new fellowship!” he quaffed ale and grinned widely “we shall venture to the cave of chaos again in a couple of days. I’ve a few bruises and cracked ribs to recover from first”.

"A couple days sounds good. Give me a chance to restock and look around some."

"Just speak the word, friend, and me and my axe will carve a path all the way through those vermin."

at 12:06 | Keep on the BorderlandsRoland gives a solemn look to Faldal, "Then I must not stand idly by or others will meet a similar end. Besides I don't plan on getting close to the things." He gestures to the yew longbow on his back.
Roland appears bewildered that Gyp wouldn't want to extract revenge on the goblins. "Very well, it's your job, we'll try it how you want."

at 08:41 | Keep on the BorderlandsAfter two more days of rest Gyp was back to his usually antics, one moment cartwheeling and jesting then another morosely sitting the corner drink in hand grumbling at his apparent lack in fortune.
Then the morning came and they would be returning to the Caves of Chaos. Gyp fetched his men-at-arms Joop and Wort then met with the others “the road and treasure await!” he waved his hands toward the forest and hills “then back here for more wine!” the fool glanced back longingly to the tavern.

at 01:49 | Keep on the BorderlandsDuring Gyp's recovery Roland, Dorn, ValdusElaguz, Faldal and Leozaren have time to get acquainted. Sparring in the courtyard to learn each other's fighting style; purchasing any gear they may want for the expedition; and surveying the surrounding countryside from one of the Keep's towers. Any sparring would draw a small gathering of onlookers, including the small number of young maidens who live in the Keep...
On the third day, the company gathers at the gatehouse to depart.
Gyp, will you find and re-up Joop and Wort? If you offer the same terms or better they will accept.
