At that moment Nawien realized she never had "the list". Sure, some people live like they are just waiting for a jinni to pop up and grant them their long prepared wishes, but Nawien knew too much about spirits and other Planes (not to mention mundane life) to expect any wish granting. She simply was not ready for such possibility. And it's silly to risk your life for nothing, is not it? From the other hand...
- Wait, ANYTHING? Can it be information?
To be honest, she would agree even without any reward - even though all she got so far is that she was recruited together with a bunch of dangerous strangers to do ... something to stop a real cataclysm, if Zephyre is right. And if she would survive in it - there is something she really wanted to know and still needed cataclysm or not.
Oh, but was she recruited?
- Mmmm... Zephyre? Your Majesty? Did you mean for me and Ben to join your group? Or do you want us only to leave that medallion here?
- I would join. Gladly.- She added immediately, before Zephyre could send her away. - I might be useful with my magic - you remember, you felt it? And I am not afraid, really!
"Bad heredity" as aunt Rosmary liked to say every time Nawien did something inappropriate by aunt's standards. Well, may be, but Nawien found her Adventure!

Cyst is really interested both for the reward and also for the gravity of the problem. Addressing to Zephir:
”now the truth is: How can I tell you if I will join for good if I don’t know what to join...I mean: what is this adventure...expedition...thing? What were you thinking our role will be”
regarding the others , he never saw an half orc talking so much
- Ooc sorry if I didn’t write it, the name of my character is Cyst , please consider I already said it when we joined at the table
I get into my new room, close the door and fall on the bed. I stretch my arms above my head, and after a grunt, relax my body and close my eyes. A short rest was all I needed for now. "Yep, that was intense. I'll have to find answers... looks like it's gonna have to wait though... Better not get too intense until I can understand what just happened..."I sit on the side of the bed and rub my face. "I can't believe tat they still haven't brought what I asked for. Even William hasn't come to me...""pfff. Commoners..." I murmur to myself. I put my clothes back on and get out of the room. "Looks like I won't have a choice but to do things myself..." I close the door and head back to the first floor. Walking proudly toward the only occupied table, I look around, trying to see William. Without worrying about interrupting, I pull a chair and sit amongst the group. Sitting comfortably, I cross my arms on my chest and say, "So... Not that I care, but while I wait for my bath, care to tell me what happened here?"with a little displeasure in my voice I add, "Also, has anyone seen William? He better be around..."
Thokk - Seeing the female orc come back down stairs...after having the delight of seeing her go up the stairs seems taken aback at the abruptness of her sitting and demanding demeanor and says, "Well...since we seem to no longer be having a private conversation to put it all in a nutshell: (pointing at the warforged) He killed an elf that was buying drugs off of me (points to himself), (pointing to the dwarf, dragonborn, and the human with the odd hat) They came out after the fact, (pointing towards the male and female couple) They were supposed to deliver a package to the dead elf, (pointing towards the red haired female) She is a traveling bard looking for some musical instrument and (pointing toward the elf) He is apparently someone of importance who is willing to pay anyone and everyone to help him take down a governmental conspiracy involving drugs and murder...does that sound like something that you would like to be a part of? Did I miss anything?".
Maze look at Thokk and starts to yawn. She stretches her arms backwards, making the fabric holding her breast stretch to a point that it looks like it might break any second. She then lean forward, put an elbow on the table, putting this time the emphasis on her cleavage, always acting as if it was unintended, and look at Thokk right in the eye. With a serious tone she says, "And where is William?"
Laaz the bartender/owners walks up at the perfect time to hear the end of Mazes' request. "It ssseems William is out of commotion for a few dayssss. He got pretty shhhhook up from the days eventsssss and drunk himself under the table. Dont worrrrrry though, thiss happens everytime he witnesses someone getting brutally hurt or killed. "
"Thokk, I'm sorry for all the interruptionssss. . . I will give you a few days of free bed a d booze for conssssolidation."
Looking at the new girl in the group Laaz says questionably, "so you are the lllllasst minute bard Romero sent? I will pay you depending on how well you entertain the crowd."
He then returns his gaze to Maze "I have never seen the crowd ssssso riled up by an entertainer, if you ever want a job performing once a night then let me know" "sssssssss" he hisses in an oddly attractive sounding way then fills the container of ale.

I look at Laaz and at Layla, "Well, there's definitely been some 'entertainment' here tonight, I'm not sure a bard can really top what has gone on here."
I turn back to Zephyre, "Before we have more people drop in on us, shall we continue? What other leads do you have? Having now seen us in the dim light of the bar, what assistance do you think we can offer to you?
"As much as I love sitting here drinking ale with you all, I am getting an urge to knock some heads together."

Marun laughs at the summary of the situation. "Yes that seems about right. You left out the part where were about to start bashing heads when this one,"pointing at Zephyrethe, "showed up. Now if everyone is here, we need a plan, how do we move out and get this under control. First I think you,"pointing at Thokk, "need to tell us where you got the drugs from that you were going to sell. And you,"pointing at the lady with the flaming locks, "also need to fill us in on your employer."
Zephyre: "I believe that everyone willing will be able to handle the situation and the proceeding of said events. That being said I have a plan to cripple/dispel the group behind those horrible occurence however, I dont want to speak ahead of terms before whoever is willing is sure they want to proceed. Before everyone who has agreed heads out we will first and foremost need a long rest from the days and nights events. Then I will train everyone in an art that will provide extra reassurance of your abilities. At the end of each individuals training that accepts the teachings, or if you decide not to and that your already strong enough, I will pair you up in groups, determined by your personal preferences and my opinion on who would mesh well together, and send you each to a location in Arkadia where you will "take care" of the target. Whether you slay them or subdue them in some means is completely up to each individual however keep in mind that we will need informations of some kind to completely rid of this abomination and the individuals behind it." I will be able to keep in touch with the lot of yall through various measure, just dont freak out if a wild beast walks up to you and starts talking, or if I enter your subconcience, or if I morph from a rock, etc. . "
Zephyre laughs with a very joyful and authintic chuckle at his last remark.
Entertain? As a bard? "Erm..." the woman in red began hastily. "Let me tell you the tragic story of how I lost my great-great-great grandmother's pearl-inlaid banjo and--"
But then the elf began talking again, and she gave a sigh of relief. A long rest? Perhaps she should seize the chance to get out of town.
But then she would never know how all this turned out...

Laaz speaks up after Zephyres chuckling dies down.
"Great, a bard with no instrument, well if u plan on getting payed with free board and mealsssss then you better learn to charm a crowd like the lovely orc woman here sssssss"
Although his facial expression remain the same as always ,due to his lizard like form, you can feel the irritation in Laazs hiss.

"I'll think about it," she calls to the elf.
Turning to Laaz with a charming smile, she says, "I don't think I am quite in that one's...league. But I can tell a good story. And if your patrons like a little knife juggling..."
She pulls out a pair of daggers, and does some fancy tricks, spinning them between her fingers, tossing them in the air and catching them by the tips.

"Like I said before, 'I'd rather be the one swinging the axe. And if you stand by your promise of payment..."Marun finishes the last of his drink and puts the mug back on the table.
OOC (almost) Nawien did not see that performance. She suddenly had a strange vision - a house that looked like some sort of temple up in the mountains, and an old teacher with long thin white moustaches drilling his faithful students that bowed to him, addressed every whim and called him "Shifu" (end of vision)
To think of it - just that morning she woke up as a simple citizen whose most excitement was a choice of a breakfast meal. And now she is about to become a full time adventurer, destined to liberate the world (at least a big part of it) from a great evil! and for equally great reward! and with a special personal training on top of it! People like to repeat "this is a dream come true" but never really mean it, however this was the case "the wildest dream you never dared to see suddenly become a reality"! Oh, wait, it did not become a reality yet.
"YES!" Thinking it might not be enough Nawien clarified "I am in too. And agree to all conditions".
Thokk - Looking at the elf says, "Oh, I've been in since the moment you silently walked up on all of us...also, when there was a mention of payment. Where do I go and who is coming with me?".
One must continue to master the skills they possess and learn new abilities by experience and education. I am especially interested in acquiring the technique that allows the consumption of a corpse so thoroughly.
“Well at least I will be getting well compensated for risking my life. I can see it now, a brand new Galleon riding the waves with my crest on it’s sails."

Laaz speaks up after Zephyres chuckling dies down.
"Great, a bard with no instrument, well if u plan on getting payed with free board and mealsssss then you better learn to charm a crowd like the lovely orc woman here sssssss"
Although his facial expression remain the same as always ,due to his lizard like form, you can feel the irritation in Laazs hiss.

"I'll think about it," she calls to the elf.
Turning to Laaz with a charming smile, she says, "I don't think I am quite in that one's...league. But I can tell a good story. And if your patrons like a little knife juggling..."
She pulls out a pair of daggers, and does some fancy tricks, spinning them between her fingers, tossing them in the air and catching them by the tips.

"Like I said before, 'I'd rather be the one swinging the axe. And if you stand by your promise of payment..." Marun finishes the last of his drink and puts the mug back on the table.
OOC (almost) Nawien did not see that performance. She suddenly had a strange vision - a house that looked like some sort of temple up in the mountains, and an old teacher with long thin white moustaches drilling his faithful students that bowed to him, addressed every whim and called him "Shifu" (end of vision)
To think of it - just that morning she woke up as a simple citizen whose most excitement was a choice of a breakfast meal. And now she is about to become a full time adventurer, destined to liberate the world (at least a big part of it) from a great evil! and for equally great reward! and with a special personal training on top of it! People like to repeat "this is a dream come true" but never really mean it, however this was the case "the wildest dream you never dared to see suddenly become a reality"! Oh, wait, it did not become a reality yet.
"YES!" Thinking it might not be enough Nawien clarified "I am in too. And agree to all conditions".

Thokk - Looking at the elf says, "Oh, I've been in since the moment you silently walked up on all of us...also, when there was a mention of payment. Where do I go and who is coming with me?".

One must continue to master the skills they possess and learn new abilities by experience and education. I am especially interested in acquiring the technique that allows the consumption of a corpse so thoroughly.
