Act 1, Scene 1: "Together in Harmony" (Game Thread)

[Nocturno]

"Those wolves... but that song really did calm my nerves. Pyros will trail off and noticeably shiver.

"They were working together and I ear they were communicating!"

Pyros will gulp the wine, and make a face.

[Jenara]

"I fear there may be more to it..." Her thoughts go to the silver dagger wedged in her boot, everyone seemed to feel that silver was needed.

"We'll I believe you are safe here, outside of the walls is another matter of course, I've seem bodies." She shudders, "Wolves the size of horses you say?" That would tie up with the body they found on the trail. Were the Visitanti trying to protect her..? A trip to discover the origins of this land would be needed in the morning, and of Harmonia.

"Sorry I've been on my own for some time, you forget to talk." She says when she realises she is keeping her thoughts to herself. "Their are others, from other worlds here, this world is like an.. Antechamber? A waiting room if you will?"

[TristenC]

Forgive me for intruding, Merrick said, joining the conversation. Wolves around here are unusually bold... and dangerous. Pehaps I shouldn't be saying this, but they have a... peculiar reputation... At any rate, I think you are quite fortunate there were only a few... Looking around at the others he seems surprised at his own forwardness. Pardon, my name is Merrick. He gives a slight bow.

Watching the half-elf speak, Mira began to wonder if he was one of the shadowed figures from the vision the old gypsy spoke of... Elsa as well...

[Jenara]

"Merrick, I was just going to introduce you. These are Pyros and Elsa." Mira smiles and offers the man a chair. "Please, join us, you know far more than me."

[Nocturno]

"Nice to meet you." Pyros will stick out his hand to shake Merrick's.

"Have you been here long?"

[TristenC]

Merrick reluctantly but firmly takes his hand. Nice to meet you as well... most Kender I have run across were less... social... I have been in Harmonia a couple of months, but I am from Sithicus, just west of here. How did you come to this place? Merrick idly checks his pockets and pouches for anything missing.

Yasir, Pyros, Elsa and Mira: Wayfarer's Rest common room
A lull in the conversation hangs in the air as the door to the Inn swings open. A Gnome, haggard and patched with dried blood and deep scratches, shambles into the room. Guilliam looks distraught, and fiddles between approaching him and finding something to do elsewhere.

Cal, common room
Cal enters the common room and notes there are few people about at this hour, aside from a dozen strangers with either black or blonde hair and fair skin. One table does not fit that description, however. A readhead with a lute, a tanned skin man with a huge sword, a halfling and what looks to be an elf-child all sit conversing with a raven-headed man with sharp features. Practically everyone looks up when he enters, and a bulky man in a white apron behind the bar begins to look nervous.

[Namenlos]

"My name is Yasir Amin, King Rat Slayer! Scourge of the Sewers! Man of the Many Tailed Belt and soon to be King Wolf Slayer!" Replies Yasir, though wary of his allies the fog of booze in his head allows Yasir to slip more into his regular tavern attitude.

The unusual crowd of new people and the strangeness of his current situation will put Yasir on edge. He will remain quiet for the most part, answering questions if asked, and will be sizing up his current companions as well as contemplating what he should do next.

[Nocturno]

Jeepers you say that every time you meet someone? Pyros will giggle.

When Cal walks in Pyros will note "Wonder who that fellow is. he does not look like he is from around here."

Pyros will then jump off his chair to get a closer look.

[Jenara]

"I do hope not." Mira says with a grin, "It could get quite tiresome." Glancing over at the new figure she returns her attention to the table, "I hope he isn't after a room, there aren't any spare."

Tapping the table she adds speaking to Elsa, "Oh I am sort of tidy, there isn't too much of my stuff around. Guilliam said we are sharing didn't he? There aren't anymore rooms because of the festival, so I offered for you to stay with me.. I do hope you don't mind. It's part of my payment for playing here."

[TristenC]

Elsa turns to Mira, If it means only sharing with one person, I definitely prefer that to shacking up with two messy boys. She smiles and gives them a wink. Maybe we'll get a chance to speak privately, as well... As the Kender approaches the Gnome, she stands. Wow, he's in pretty rough shape... Elsa approaches Cal cautiously, staying near Pyros. Are you ok? she asks the Gnome concernedly.

Merrick spares a glance at the newcomer before turning back to Yasir. Part of the peculiarity hereabouts lies in people's reluctance to even talk about wolves... Those that speak ill of them are often avoided by others. Those that speak too highly of them... he shrugs, sometimes go missing...

[Nocturno]

"You ok Fella? Would a drink do you well?" Pyros will slap the gnome on the back.

[Namenlos]

"I find that strange superstitions never lead anywhere good." Replies Yasir to Merrick.

[Jenara]

Mira shifts in her chair, the little guy was obviously injured, she glances over at Guilliam and then back at the gnome, dammit all to the abyss.. "Merrick.." She pauses, "Would you be Willing to aid me, to aid us?" She motions over to the Gnome who was now approaching them.

"Perhaps, if we stick together we just might be able to figure out what's going on." Watching the figures she jumps up and finds a chair, pushing it round the table with the rest of them.

[TristenC]

I'm afraid I agree, Merrick responds to the warrior. But often they have a kernel of truth to them...

The half-elf nods at the bard's request. I will do what I can to help you... I know what it is like to be... confined. I don't think I'll be much help with the new arrival, though. I'm no healer...
