Storm King's Thunder + Against the Giants

Ogden brings a gallon of ale and a bucket of cold water. He hands the buckets to Ren: "Would you like to take the honour ? "

OOG LOL

Ren starts washing his hands in the bucket. Thinking Ogden brought it for him to wash up. He then nudges the Goliath again, and says, "Aleeeee...oh Rockhand, we have some aaaalllleeeee..." Ren says with a giggle. He looks at Ogden and says, "You forgot the soap and a hand towel, good sir." 

(OOG it is evil...too bad I'm of noble birth and think those in the service industry recognize this and cater to my needs...lol :P )

Erakas holds up his fingers and counts on them slowly

"Wait a minute.....something doesn't add up here....if this Sirac kid is the son of Artus Cimber who disappeared 100 years ago, he should be a lot deader than he appeared to be yesterday."

He contemplates the rest of what Ren said realizing that the path to Waterdeep goes through Luskan where he'd be able to report back to Ship Kurth about the giants they encountered.

"Seems our paths still align Ren...you can count on my blades."

Ogden places an hand in his face, resigned. *facepalm*

Then he tosses the entire content of water on the Goliath, places the bucket in Erakas' hands and runs away!

(OOC - oh if that bucket of cold water hit Marshmellow - you'd have one angry bear to deal with too :P)

Ren looks at the wet woman in front of him. "My friend, some ale for breakfast and a quest to wet your blade. We need you, Rockhand. Your ferociousness and bravery would be paramount on our journey." 

Ren looks around the room. He sees Ogden and shakes his head at him but smiles and laughs for a second. 

"He should be dead, but maybe Artus hasn't been missing for 100 years like we all think?"

"Be calm, lady who snuggles bears, it was the dwarven barkeep. He ran off leaving the bucket in Dragonborn's care." Ren explains, "But we do need you aware, for we have a great decision in front of us and we would like your input."

OOG Still laughing for the bucket scene...lol

[For some gear and supplies, the party can visit: 1) The Marketplace; 2) The armoury; 3) Blackiron Blades; 4) Rendaril's Emporium. Rendaril sells the most expensive things, from some special spell components to dwarven weapons.]

(OOC - probably no chance of anything overly extraordinary that we can afford, but Erakas wants a long bow.)

Erakas sets the bucket down, and goes back to basking in the sun, ignoring the blustery goliath.

Marshmellow, however roars loudly at being soaked with a bucket of water.  She jumps to her feet, spots the bucket on the ground, sniffs it, then chases after Ogden.

"Then it is settled, after we speak with the speaker of Bryn Shandar we shall go to Waterdeep. I think we should get a wagon and some horses for our travels. And some food and supplies we may need on such a ling journey. Sirac needs to go to Luskan, our journey will take us to the house of a noble lord in Waterdeep." Ren stands up and starts pacing, "I feel like there is something missing here, though. What are we missing? Giants attacking, that's nothing new. But searching for this ring, the Ring of Winter. What do they hope to accomplish with such an item?"

"And we do need your blade in case someone does need to be killed. Your fury is a splendid tool that could be put to great use." Ren laughs at the bear chasing the barkeep. 

OOG For a longbow Blackiron Blades is a good place. If you need potion of healing, the House of Triad
