Gallia Campaign 1

(OOC: sorry everyone, just started a new job and got distracted)

Casmir scrambles to his feet and pulls the chair for Ren. Under his breath he whispers "I am so sorry, my mind wandered...", following it with a louder "Apologies for the distraction! As the wise Aurelius would say, 'Confine yourself to the present', and me here dreaming about tomorrow!"

Ren inclines her head to Casimir ‘Thank you.‘ she sits and looks over those sat at the table, sipping the wine that has just arrived.

’I’m Ren Moonwhisper, a travelling servant of Selûne. I don’t make a habit of seeking out drunks, but nor will I step away from a person in need - and I’ve seen enough drunks in the past to know most are stupid rather than actively malicious. And you all are…?’

 @ Ren, (OOC: assuming you paid for the drink.) Elsa comes back with a glass of red wine. Elsa: (to Ren) "I hope you enjoy." Elsa then goes back to cleaning tables as there are few people in the tavern area of the inn at the moment.

"I am a humble servant of Tyr, just as you are of Selûne. I wasn't much of a traveller before, but since I met my friends here I have seen a lot more fo the world. I think I'll let my friends introduce themselves." Casmir says to Ren, gesturing to Gimble and Stannic. And after a bit: "Oh, of course! And my name is Casmir"

(OOC: Casmir is a tiefling with lavender skin and silver eyes, a pair of short horns sticking out of his forehead under the rim of his helmet. He is wearing chain mail under a plain cloth tabard, and has an amulet with the symbol of Tyr around his neck.

“Names Gimble. I’m from Nisras. Well not originally, but I’ve never really stayed in on place long enough to call it home. Found some jobs working with these guys. Seems like an interesting city to say the least.”

Seeing Casmir get up to pull out a chair for the newcomer, he moves to stand, but stops halfway out of his chair as he realizes it is too late, leading to an awkward crouch before he sits down again, the tips of his pointed ears turning red.  “I am Stannic, from Draydosia, along the coast.  I fell in with these others while traveling through the forest.  As a matter of fact, we were also helping those in need.  What brings you to the city?”

'I described myself as a travelling servant of Selune. That means I follow omens and signs to determine where to go next. I generally find there's a need for my skills when I get there - the lady illuminates what is needed. I followed a flight of 3 doves heading North at dawn to get here, arriving in time to stop an altercation between two drunks ending in tragedy. What is next? I don't yet know...'

"That sounds good enough for me" says Casmir. And looking at Stannic and Gimble "What do you think?"

Stannic nods sagely to Ren “There are countless examples of portents and signs found among the creatures of the wild.  But what if they did not lead you to the drunks, but to us?  We are meeting someone tomorrow who is looking for aid in finding something that was lost.  Maybe you could meet him with us?  Three doves today, who knows what tomorrow.”  He looks at Casmir and Gimble for their support.

“I can’t speak to signs leading me anywhere…but if ya seek to aid those in need and make some coin in the side, ya may find a place with us,” Gimble says while leaning back in his chair.

As you all continue to talk, Elsa comes by your table to check on you to see if require anything.

Ren shakes her head at Elsa - she's sipping the wine, not gulping it down.

'I'm listening. Of course I reserve my right to change my mind if the situation turns out to be...' a brief pause 'unpalatable for my Lady's tenets. But I could be interested in helping recover lost items, if for no other reason than those who have taken them may be guilty of other, worse, sins...'

“Well then it’s settled. Welcome to the group of misfits.” Gimble holds a mug up, “Cheers!”

Ren raises her glass and nods to Gimble…

‘To a productive, and righteous, future.’

Stannic slaps his hands against the table in excitement, then raises a glass of his own. “Yes, it is indeed, here’s to companions new and old. May the path ahead be clear and free of danger” He places the glass down after his drink “Now, we just need to hear what the good dwarf has to say.  When can we expect him?”

@ everyone, the four of you continue to talk until its time to retire for the day. You all sleep well in your respective room at the Inn. The next morning you wake up, you all meet up again, and have your morning meal. Around 11:00 a.m. The four of you see Gundren Rockseeker come in, and with him is Greg Greenspear. Gundren Rockseeker: (to the party) "Hello all. I once again would like to thank you all for saving me from those goblins. To help me say thanks here is 25 gold pieces for each of you..." He stops mid sentence. "I see one of your group is not with you, and now you have a new one. All the same the gold belongs to you adventurers." (OOC: I'll let you all decide what to do with Misty's 25 gold pieces.) Gundren puts four sacks of gold, each containing 25 gold pieces, on the table you are all sitting at. Gundren: (to the party) "I'd like to introduce one of my employees, Greg Greenspear..." Greg Greenspear: (to Gundren) "We've actually met. These are the adventurers I found in Uwark to help me get to Emberhorn City." Gundren: (to everyone) "Well that makes things easier then. I was hoping you four adventurers are available for hire. I would like to hire you all to escort Greg and I, and my wagon of supplies to where my map leads to. I do expect trouble, besides being attacked by goblins previously, the orc attacks are happening north of the city, and the map leads northward. So if you are available for hire, willing to fight off goblins, orcs, and whatever other dangers we may encounter on the road, as well as keep whatever secrets of this map and what it leads to... I would like it if you all could come with me and greg on this adventure." Gundren stops and awaits your responses.

(OOC: date July 29th. time 11:05 a.m.)

(OOC: quests in the spoiler below)

“Well, if they’re anything like what we’ve dealt with, I’m not to concerned. I’m in. What about you guys?” And Gimble looks around the table to see what the others have to say.

"I'm in", says Casmir pounding his fist on the table.

@ everyone, (OOC: assuming everyone says yes, and has no further questions) Gundren tells the four of you to meet him at the north gate. Once you get there, Gundren and Greg are in the wagon, with the oxen ready to start pulling it along. The wagon is filled with more supplies than before. With it filled to the brim, and Both Gundren and Greg riding up front there is no room for the party to be in the wagon. So the party will need to walk along as you all travel. Which Gundren explains to you all. Gundren: (to everyone) "We'll stick to the main road, and trails to get to our destination, but its far off so we'll be passing through some of the smaller towns along the way."

(OOC Gimble would not have wanted to walk being as short legged as he is. Keeping pace is not something he would have desired to have to do. Upon finding out about no ride, he would have wanted to grab a mount of sorts.)
