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

[Namenlos]

Yasir will give a slight bow of appreciation upon receiving the gift. Yasir will make one lsst attempt of gaining a slight knowledge of the area pointing to himself and the n the crude map, grasping his sword and miming walking through the dangerous areas. Whether he is able to gain new information or not yadir will attempt to say thank you and good bye in hafmonian(from memory?)

Yasir will then return to the innm and attempt to gain the barkeeps attention. Once he is being served yasir will atyempt to get his new flask filled and mih,ght as well order himself two more shots as well.

[Jenara]

"They regarded me strangely for a while, I think it's the hair.. It's the music, they love the music. Means they accepted me quite easily, by the god's they even made me part of the Harmonic Hall!" Stifiling a little laugh she nods in agreement.

"I'm joking of course, many of the people have been very kind to me, Guilliam has been really great. They love the music, they really do." Loosening her grasp she surveys the shop with interest.

"I feel awful for disturbing your experiment, perhaps I might be of assistance? I have some skill at the arcane, its.. It's one of my talents. Could I help?" She adds, waiting on a reaction.

[OOC: I rolled a Con check for Yasir. Those shots are finally starting to get into his system after a few minutes... so far you've had about 4, not counting the two on the counter ]

Yasir: Blacksmith Shop
Yasir accepts the gift with a small bow, then mimes walking around pointing outside of the town area on the map. John seems to understand, now, and calls back to his apprentice. The young man walks out from a small room in the back, and John asks him something in that musical language that the warrior feels he can almost translate but it slips away like so much water. When the apprentice shakes his head, John turns back and claps Yasir on the shoulder. He nods to the tan warrior and taps himself on the chest, perhaps indicating that he will accompany Yasir. He tries to express his gratitude in John's native tongue, but it comes out a mess. The blacksmith grins, Merci. He pantomimes the act of receiving something and repeats himself. Merci. Il n'y a rien, mon frère.

John grabs a couple of things including his Maul and pack, along with a more normal sized hammer and a silver-bladed hand axe. The smaller weapons go at loops on his belt, while the maul is strapped across the top of his pack as it was the day he and Yasir met. The warrior leads them back to the Wayfarer's Rest and the blacksmith nods in approval. The common room is a bit more full, and it must be almost two hours since Yasir had woken up. Striding up to the counter, he finds a server there rather than the inkeep himself. Motioning for two more shots, he places the empty flask on the counter as well and points to it. His order is soon filled, and John contents himself with looking around the room as he waits.


Mira, Elsa and Pyros: Toad's Toe
It might be better for you if no one knows what a Kender is... you would be much better served to pass as a human child if you can. People here are not very welcoming to the unusual.. Yes, my dear bard, I think your music and attractiveness are the main reasons you have had such an easy time of it... Rautant takes a small red and silver stone from the shelf behind him and sets it on the counter before Pyros, Old as the world itself, that... not terribly common here, but they can sometimes be found in the Balinok mountains. He tucks the wand into a pocket inside his robe,

Speaking again to Mira, Your hair does stand out, he chuckles, but even had you their hair and eyes, the language would have distinguished you enough for them to be suspicious. The hair just makes it harder to ignore. Guilliam... he pauses in thought. Ah, the Inn, of course. Yes he is a good fellow. Experiment? he seems perplexed for a moment, Hah! That is of no matter, it was only my morning tea... knocked a vial from the table when I jumped. He shares a lopsided grin. I would have thought you were here about some research or other from the way Serath spoke... he continued, gathering the supplies Elsa needed.

[Jenara]

"That's a rather pretty stone." Mira comments, "You think I'm attractive? How sweet." Her smile belittles her intelligence for a moment.

"My thoughts on Kender are exactly the same, not many know of Kender here." She slips into Harmonian, "I intend to keep it that way. Pyros will remain.. An interesting distraction, but his true nature will remain with us." Giving the Kender a quick smile she reverts to Elven.

"Actually... There is something, I've been doing some research of my own, and a few things grabbed my attention. I found lots of to 'Savage Beasts' and there is the preoccupation with silver..?" Eying the books she gives him a wink. "That closer to what you thought I might be after? I'm sure we can help with a few things if you require."

[Namenlos]

With an embarassed grin yasir slides the freshly ordered drinks to john before ordering himself two more and swiftly drinking them. He will then walk up the staits to his room to don his armor and grab his sword before heading out once more into the stfeet. Unless john objects yasir will make his way towafd the gate ghaf he entered the city from.

[Nocturno]

Pyros will put his hands around the stone and over the stone but will not pick it up. If the old man knows Kenders, Pyros won't test his patience. He senses something about him.

"It is marvelous!" Pyros will say in obvious awe.

"Is there a price on this stone?" the look on Pyros's face will show obvious disgust when asking about a price.

"I don't understand what you said. But everyone gets that look when they talk to/about me.."

[Jenara]

"I am so sorry, I try to practice the language where I can." Blushing she continues. "I was simply saying that I would like to keep information on Kender between us. You know first hand how many react to Kender, we wouldn't want that would we?"

[Nocturno]

"No, I guess not."

[Jenara]

"And the less people know, the easier you can be... You." She says Slipping into Kender.

[Nocturno]

"You are right, of course. I just saw that look in a language I could not understand. I should have known I can trust you. You are my favourite colour!"

[Jenara]

Mira pats the Kender on the head softly, giving him a little smile.

[Nocturno]

Pyros will calmly return to gazing at the stone in wonder.

Yasir and John: Wayfarer’s Rest
Yasir slides the drink over to John and orders the same for himself. When they arrive, he and the swarthy man salute each other with their cups and drink them down. The blacksmith wipes his mouth and rubs his beard with a grin, nodding his thanks. In a few moments the warrior has ascended to his room and donned his armor and magical sword. As he thumps back down the stairs, the series of drinks threatens to unsteady him, but he easily pushes through the minor impediment.

Once prepared, he and John head back out into the street. Rather than take the south gate nearby, Yasir follows ‘The Loop’ eastward and turns to take the alley by the sheep pens where the two originally entered the city. Once to the gate, another wave of alcohol in his blood threatens to cloud his thoughts as the air mixes with that of the nearby livestock. [Another con check pls. this time at -2. You can roll it if you like. Those drinks are starting to catch up]


Mira, Pyros and Elsa: Toad’s Toe.
Rautant watches Pyros’ precautions with no little amusement. When questioned about the cost, he responds, For such a polite and helpful gentleman as yourself… let’s say five silver.

Mira said:
You think I’m attractive?

Bah! Any fool with at least one good eye could see that. Those stories about you are likely the spawn of that age-old curse… he casts his eyes about with mock suspicion and lowers his voice conspiratorially, jealously! Leaning back, he smiles. Remind me a bit if my niece… his expression turns a somber for a moment, but quickly returns to its natural joviality.

Yes, silver is what I was expecting. You can use some of my reference materials, but if you are curious as to what it is used for… mainly magical components, and rarely applied to weapons. He rotates his body and reaches back to one set of books. Without looking, his fingers walk the spines and settle on a hefty wooden box bound in iron straps with a silver faced lock. When he sets it on the counter, it looks quite like an old wooden box that some men kept very nice cigars in. Lost the key a long time ago, but that shouldn’t be any problem for your friend here. he gives Pyros a wink. From what I remember it’s mostly old stories and such, but there should be something in there to pique your interest.

I Appreciate your offer for help, but the only thing I don’t do myself is gather some of the harder-to-find ingredients in the mountains or woods… just don’t have time for that anymore. I currently don’t have any orders requiring them, but I’ll keep you three in mind if something comes up…


[OOC: Drinks start to take effect after the 2nd one w/in 1 hour. Each Con check is at a cumulative -1 when it hits you. You are on 6 drinks now, and this post brings us to your third check (drink #4) which is at -2. You can roll that one if you like ☺ ]
[Yasir con check @ -1: Con=14-1: need 13 or lower to pass:
Yasir Con check coming downstairs [1d20] = 3: Pass]
So far so good ]

[Nocturno]

Pyros will quickly pull the silver from his pocket, and put it on the counter. In the same motion he will pick up the stone. He will smell it, give it a small lick, and continue to marvel at it.

"Elsa, why have you been so quiet?" He will look around for her.

[Jenara]

"Pyros, I would be honoured if you might investigate this.." Mira points to the box, moving it closer to the Kenders reach. "Locks were never my thing," she explains, "An old parchment written in old Elven, maybe, but not locks,"

"Mostly the use of silver in weapons, someone I trust suggested they might be of use, and I took the idea to heart." She taps her bodice lightly, fingers bouncing off the silver dagger. "You go outside the city? Silly question I know, no one could possibly grow every herb here, but... As far as I can tell no one goes outside unless they are travelling. I didn't think about it till now, but.. "

"Yes." she spins slightly on her heels, "Are you ok my dear?" She asks Elsa.
