"Aye, you're right about that Missy. We are looking for the Rockseeker camp. We were contracted by Gundren to bring them some supplies and we wanted to see if we could get some more work from them. Do you know where we can find their camp?" He pauses for a moment and sees Pops go over to the Dwarf and listens in to how the dwarf responds as well.
"G'day, ma'am. Nice to meet you," Pops mumbles. He bows slightly and awkwardly. He ambles down the counter to the dwarf and half-orc and waits for a pause in their conversation.
"Unskidin merg," he says to the dwarf, in Dwarvish. "Merg blik tirhil noen dverag arbeid alersag. Gundren Rockseeker o drogan ahn bronrhir. Dearag arbeid bair utre av farge."
"Excuse me. I am looking for some dwarven miner friends. Gundren Rockseeker and his two brothers. They are mining just outside of town."
"I've heard of the Rockseekers," he tells you. "Rumor is they found a lost mine. A mine from a long time ago. No one knows where and the Rockseekers kept the secrets close."
"Aye, you're right about that Missy. We are looking for the Rockseeker camp. We were contracted by Gundren to bring them some supplies and we wanted to see if we could get some more work from them. Do you know where we can find their camp?" He pauses for a moment and sees Pops go over to the Dwarf and listens in to how the dwarf responds as well.
She leans over the counter and grabs you by the shirt. "It's not 'Missy," she says to you before releasing her grip. The half orc seems to take note and stands nearby. "It's Halia. A guildmaster. And before this conversation is to continue, an apology is in order."
Assuming you do apologize, she will tell you that she never heard of the Rockseekers."But I do have something a group new in town can assist me with. No doubt you have heard of the Redbrands. They've become somewhat troublesome around here. They spend their time at the Sleeping Giant, a taproom, on the east side of town. This dwarf? Is he missing or something?"
Pops winces slightly at the scene at the other end of the bar, then turns back to the dwarf. "Any idea where we can find any of the Rockseeker brothers, currently?"
"My Apologies Halia, I didn't mean to offend. Just trying to track down our employer. To be perfectly honest, we aren't 100% sure. He may well be missing, or he might be off doing his thing. That's why were hoping to find his camp. His brothers were ahead of him and he may have just gone to meet up with them. As to your other request, I've been hearing mixed things about the Redbrands. What precisely did you have in mind regarding them? Last I heard the townmaster hired them on to keep the peace and deal with the goblins."
Pops winces slightly at the scene at the other end of the bar, then turns back to the dwarf. "Any idea where we can find any of the Rockseeker brothers, currently?"
"Gundren's brothers were in town picking up a few supplies about a tenday ago, but I haven't seen them since. Said they were working on an old mine, but that's about it. I didn't think much of it. Old mines are usually al stripped out already. It's not uncommon for miners to stock up and head out for a few tendays at a time. I'm not sure where they would be mining through and I really wish I could help, but most folks don't like to give up the locations of their operations. In the areas around here, there are a lot of issues that come from goblin tribes and bandit raiders in the area. I'd hate to say it, but there's no telling where those boys are or if they're even alright."
"My Apologies Halia, I didn't mean to offend. Just trying to track down our employer. To be perfectly honest, we aren't 100% sure. He may well be missing, or he might be off doing his thing.

What precisely did you have in mind regarding them? Last I heard the townmaster hired them on to keep the peace and deal with the goblins."
"There had been a few goblin raids here and there, but nothing too dangerous. The goblins were coming from a place called Cragmaw Castle. I'm not sure where that is, but I have heard that the Redbrands have a goblin minion serving them. My guess is that goblin might know the location." Halia leans in close and speaks quietly. "Their base of operations is in the old manor on the hill east of town, but the Redbrands loiter around the Sleeping Giant tap house. The taphouse is the last building on the road out toward the manor. I can offer you 100 gp to eliminate the Redbrand leader, calls himself Glasstaff. Also, if you find any correspondence in Glassstaff's quarters, bring it to me."
Petros listens in on the conversation between Sven and Halia. "Well, I could use a beer. I think I will head on over to the taphouse. It's still too early to get into too much trouble...I hope!"
Petros will make his way over to the Sleeping Giant. Once inside he will take a seat at the bar and order a beer.
Pops groans deeply as he watches Petros exit. He bids the three folks at the Miner's Exchange a hasty thanks and follows Petros at a distance, grumbling and muttering inaudibly (well, except for the expletives.) He does not enter the Sleeping Giant but instead keeps watch from a safe distance from amongst the trees across the street. He sits in the dirt and picks at his old, yellowed teeth with the tip of his dagger.
Sven looks back as he hears footsteps walking away and sees both Petros and Pops walking away "Excuse me Halia, I think I need to be going!" Sven turns around to follow Petros and nods to the others and says "I'm not sure the rest of us have a choice as to how things are about to go down."
The Sleeping Giant is a ramshackle taproom at the east end of town. A sign names the place "The Sleeping Giant." Four human ruffians linger on the covered porch, perched on empty ale barrels or leaning against the wall. They all wear grimy scarlet cloaks, their sullen stares fixed on Petros and Sven as he begins to approach. One of the thugs spits on the ground. "Well, well,"he snarls. "Here's a whole pack of little puppies. What do you want, puppies? Come here to bark at us?" Pops is able to watch the encounter from the other side of the street. They seem to pay you no mind.
Petros laughs as he approaches the men. "Good afternoon gentlemen. No pack today, just a bard and his mate with a desire for a spot to sit and perhaps a bit of a drink. Having just arrived we were told this is the place to have those desires met." Having grown up and performed in some fairly sketchy taverns Petros feel comfortable with his ability to quiet an unruly crowd. "Please, join us. The first round is on me. I have quite the story to share my friends!"
The one talking approaches you in the street. "Doesn't look like me you belong here. The is a hang out for Redbrands only. And there's no way you're a Redbrand. You're far too weak." He will give Petros a little shove. The others standing outside start to laugh. "So you got some money on you, huh? Give it to me." The other Redbrands start to come down off the porch of the taphouse.
Laughing Petros raises his hands. "Apologies. I was not warned of the exclusivity of this establishment. I am simply a bard hoping to trade a few songs for some drink. If you 'Redbrand' are uninterested I will inquire elsewhere. Good day." Petros will begin to back away from the men.
"Yeah, git em," You hear coming from behind the human that is accosting you. The human takes a fighting stance with you. "You're buying us our first round, and then the second and maybe a third if you got the coin, but you ain't coming in. Now hand over the coin unless you want your face punched in."
"You can punch my face in and I would still be prettier than you!" Petros snorts as he realizes it is time to face the inevitable. He shoots a quick glance at Sven and Pops as if to say *I suppose I deserve this throttling. Save yourselves!*
"Go sit down with your friends." Petros will stand his ground. He does not take a fighting stance but is fully aware of that possibility.
Ny follows up shortly after stopping near by to keep watch on Petros and Sven same as Pops. She leans against a nearby railing and watched the event unfold shaking her head each time Petros opens his mouth again.

As the tension builds up, the Redbrand moves in closer. Nyana makes her way to where the rest of the group has assembled. Bratz's whereabouts are unknown.
"Nah, I think I'm gonna punch you in the face." The Redbrand (Redbrand 1) reaches back and goes in for a swing.
Attack: 22 Damage: 1
After Petros is attacked, an arrow will fly across the street striking Redbrand 1 in the chest. "What the **** is this!"Redbrand 1 breaks off the shaft of the arrow. Redbrand 2 and Redbrand 3 looks surprised at the attack, but this does not prevent all three from pulling out shortswords.

"Here we go again! At least this time we won't have to haul the unconscious bodies half a day to town." She looks to pops. "I have not seen him, I though he was with you. Im sure he will turn up soon!" Ny focuses on the main Redbrand thug who punched Petros in the face. Although she felt he fully deserved it she could not stand by and let her acquaintances perish. Maybe it was because of her sworn oath to protect and heal those in need ore because she was starting to like this merry band of morons. Either way, now is a time for action. Ny begins to wave her hands around each other almost as if trying to warm them while whispering incomprehensibly to herself. As she finishes and looks up to the main thug she has a slight grin on her face as a small flame appears at his feet and quickly erupts upwards.
(OOC: I am so deeply sorry guys, I had a lot of things happen this past weekend, friend came into town from Florida and I had my baby shower I had to go to, so with everything going on, I completely forgot about you all. I am back! Again, I apologize.)

Pops pulls out his short bow, nocks an arrow, and takes careful aim at the easiest target across the street.
At the first sign of violence of any kind, he's going to sink an arrow into some redbrand's spine.
Attack: 24 . Damage: 5
Without taking his eye off his target, he mutters to Nyana, "Where the hell is Brats?"
As the tension builds up, the Redbrand moves in closer. Nyana makes her way to where the rest of the group has assembled. Bratz's whereabouts are unknown.
