Masters of Eothia 1-20

Pumpkin held up her arm excitably for the encounter, curiously enough she wasn’t holding any seesble weapon in it. Maybe there was something up her baggy sleeve?

The fire beetles all fled before she could do anything, and she gave a puff of annoyance, before cheering up at the magical dragons theatrics.

Somethings been up with her lately. She seems to be cycling through moods faster then she usually does, switching from putulant brat to someone wise beyond her years on the flip of a hat. 

She pulls out her water skin and chugs it greedily. That’s another strange thing, she seems to have a seemingly bottomless waterskin that she drinks and shares to you all freely. By your estimates, she’s probably gone through a near gallon of water just since the civil war started hours ago.

(Sorry this one took a while)

Ruxio walks you back to the Beat Hunter’s guild. You finally arrive and it’s a hive of activity. All kinds of hunters of all specialities are here roaming around. Some huge, burly orcs, others more nimble, smaller framed goblins. You see orcs, bugbears, kobolds, goblins and hobgoblins- more diversity than you’ve seen in the City of Rust. Some are trading goods in tents scattered in the outer area of the guild’s tower, some skinning tropheys off beasts.

Ruxio walks you to the enterance of the tall bone and wood structure. “Well, I must be off. I have a boat waiting for me down the coast. Best of luck! And uhh.. keep an eye out for dodgey folk.”

From the outside, it looks something like this.

Orcish banners hang from the wooden structure showing insignia you do not recognise. A large thick, heavy curtain made from a pelt of some large creature separates outside from in. Once you enter, a large dimly lit foyer greets you with a check in desk on your left. It is surprisingly... classy for a hunter’s lodge. Numerous trophies from large game adorn the walls, some paired with presumibly the killing weapon. Two red Orc guards with bone bladed glaives stand near the enterance and a very well dressed Drow in leathers waits for you on entry.

He stands there with a feathered quill floating in mid air next to him, a large thick leather bound book of parchment on the desk in front. He motions towards an impossibly smooth orb of marble stone which is inset in to a waist high heavy rock pillar.

”Please, place your hands on the stone.” He says, in a monotone posh accent.

Below: you are situated just below where it says “Foyer” on level 1.

Yasei places her well manicured hand onto the orb (the hand showcasing her royal signet, of course).

Cora, after looking around in pleasant awe, places her calloused hand on the orb.

Blue runes appear and glow when you touch the stone and you and your garments are cleansed from all dirt and grime.

"And if I could just get your titles now and when you leave the lodge." The Drow says, his floating feathered quill whips it's self in to an ink pot, ready to write. "Accommodation at The Alpha guild is free for the first two nights. If you find a bounty in that time, your stay is extended."

Cora looks around nervously for a moment. “My..title? Uh. I don’t think uh..I have a title? Cora. My name is Cora 2146?”

Danica placed her hand on the orb and answered "Danica Galefist, Lawbringer of the Citadel of the Moon and Stars."

The feathered quill hurridly scribbles your name in the register as you’re talking. The Drow looks at Bobo, Yasei and Rosli expectantly.

Pumpkin looks somewhat uncomfortable under the scrutinizing gaze of the drow and says-

“Can I put a rain check on the whole magical scrub a dub? I promise I won’t sit down on any of your ridiculously expensive looking couches.”

The Drow raises an eyebrow and nods slowly. He simply asks “your name, then?”

Rosli will get on eye level with the orb and inspect it before inching her hand towards it. After placing her hand on the orb she will glance towards the Drow, "I'm Rosli".

She'd like to check out the room to see if there's anything unique and valuable in here.

”Yeah ahm... Call me Estaban Julio Ricardo Montoya de la Rosa Ramírez, the ah, second.”

All said with an award winning smile.

Deception: 18

Cora's face wrinkles in confusion.

The Drow raises his eyebrow even higher, and the quill scribbles it down.

Cora leans sideways to Pumpkin. "Are you sure that's your name?"

Pumpkin leans sideways to Cora, making the taller woman bend over so Punpkin can whisper into her ear, making the two very obviously secretly conferring to each other. “Here’s a little advice for ya kid, never give your real name to rich looking folk, makes it a lot easier to disappear after having wild parties, stealing their fancy towels and soaps or disposing of your one night lover.”  

Cora stands still for a moment, wide eyed. Slowly moving back up to a standing position, she makes a face of surprised agreement, nodding, looking forward yet staring at nothing. She then gives Pumpkin a quick look of even greater confusion, but lets it go after a moment.

The Drow takes Rosli’s name down also, before handing over you each a key.

”Now that that’s ... finally out of the way, allow me to welcome you to Lord Xolag’s Alpha Beast Hunter’s Guild.” He says as he walks you towards a staircase on your right. “My name is Mr. Bradley.This is the Alpha guild, part of a community who also consist of the Beta guild and the Delta guild. As I said before, the stay for new visitors is free for the first two nights. You can see the bounty board downstairs where the fighting pit is located to look for bounties. If you return a bounty, your stay is extended.” You walk up the staircase to revel a large common room with accommodation. Another set of stairs is roped off to the north. “We specialise here in ethical large game hunting. We hunt to cull vermin, reduce the impact of large beasts and regulate breeding zones. Those stairs are strictly out of bounds and lead up to Xolag’s personal quarters. Your rooms are just ahead. Enjoy your stay.” He motions towards a number of rooms and remains if you have any questions.

Your rooms contain a bath, straw bed, dresser and writing table.

Congrats! Y’all level 3! What’s goin’ on in this guild? Whatchya wanna do?

Wow, fancy!

Cora goes to her room and settles in. I imagine everyone will be tired and want to rest. She cleans up, and then takes a moment to test the bed. She falls asleep for however long it takes to shrug off the exaustion. Then ill wake up, go downstairs, check out the bounty board, and eventually regroup with the others. Is there a place to eat and drink here? If so that’s where i’ll be.
