Before Arthur enjoys a ale with Cloud , he finds a piece of paper and ink and puts a note " fruit and candies are for the kids, we get the leftovers after the handing out of fruits & candies is finished "
Well Mr Russell , Cloud & I walked in , I introduced us and one sun elf was a bit rude and in a hurry. He wanted us to hurry up and pick what cookies we wanted . So we made our orders . Then all of a sudden they told us no cookies for you. Get out . I've no idea what that was all about but I hope we don't do bussiness with them ever after that . By the way , Snarf handed this to me earlier * digs out a pink shard * . Told me someone dropped it .
"Ah Pierre Silvermoon, Chef du Pain. He's a perfectionist, and it shows in his baked goods. You have to be quick with your order or he gets rather brusque. It's almost like you have to know exactly what you want before you order" he rubs his stomach and closes his eyes and smiles "worth the trouble though"
"Ah, he sure does know how to find the little things" as he looks at the tiny gem "good thing he isn't really the greedy type"
As you two are speaking Snarf walks out from behind the bar with the fishing tackle. He nods at you both, looks at Me Russell and asks "I go fishing?"
Mr Russell nods upstairs "Go ahead" and Snarf turns to head up the new stairs.
Snarf "too noisy, too noisy, fish alone now, shh, shh, shh."
Mr Russell holds his hand up as if to say, wait a minute.
"Go fish, fish, fish, shh, shh, shh" in time to his steps as he goes upstairs.
After Snarf wanders away upstairs, Mr Russell says "if you're both quiet enough, you can join me on my balcony while I have a smoke. It can be quite entertaining."
Mr Russell escorts you upstairs (as long as you are out of armor, he'll wait if you need to change out) through the dining room into his closet of a room. Lived in, but in bad shape. New bed, old chest, old easy chair.
He grabs his pipe and tobacco bag, and puts a finger up to his lips for quiet. Opens the door to his porch that overlooks the alley. He leans against the railing and points towards the back of the manor, on top of the roof over the kitchen.
On the corner of the roof, you see Snarf in this late dusk hour of the day. He's wedging the fishing pole in some of the shingles. Once he's satisfied that it's secure, he climbs down the corner to the alley. You see him hunched over doing something on the ground for a bit. After a minute or so, Snarf reaches up for the fishing line leading to the pole above. Hunched over his work for another minute, you see the pole bending under the strain.
Snarf stands up and double checks his work. Nodding to himself, he walks back to the Manor to the pantry door below you.
Mr Russell chants an incantation, and a flame pops up in the pipe he's been packing this whole time. After a good long draw on his pipe, he speaks softly.
"This is pretty much morning time for him. Bright lights tend to bother him a bit. Life in the sewers and all that. He pretty much just catches rats that wander around the alley at night. Says it's the best breakfast."
"I've never taken him up on his offer though. I doubt the taste of rat would be to my liking."
"I mean...it is a little gamey but it's better than starving. I happen to like rat on a skewer with large forest mushrooms, but the aftereffects can be a quite overwhelming for a few days."
(OOC: Raven lived off the land and fended for herself when her parents died by the wolf attack. So when she's sending letters to her parents, she's sending them to nowhere and pretends to read letters she received. If you had chosen to look over her shoulder, you would have seen that she was reading a blank sheet of parchment. She pretends her parents are alive, because she doesn't want to remember.)
* whispering * I've never had rat before but if I were hungry enough I'd eat it I suppose . I'm glad Snarf is enjoying the fishing pole . He seems rather crafty with that thing. That's what I'd call improvising
Mr Russell "Just a beginners magic trick. I dabble in it from time to time."
"I hope I'm not too rude in saying this. But I'm going to settle down and retire for the night. Many long days ahead. Good evening to you both." as he holds his door open for you both to exit.
Arthur wakes up but this morning it's like he hears medevil style Rocky Balboa music in his head ( couldn't resist lol ) . He gets up, says his prayers , gets his armour on , heads downstairs to the common room. Here he sits for 15 minutes drinking water and waking up a bit more. After the 15 minutes is up ( I'll call it 7:00-7:30 am ) Arthur heads out , first stop.....the Halls of Justice , where he intends to gather his first bit of info on any legal boxing matches
(OOC: Raven would like to head to the bakery to buy some bread and cheese. She is running low on her 1-day rations which she has been eating sparingly. Just updated my funds to remove the 1GP per day as per her Modest background.)
(OOC 2: She would also like to learn more about her surroundings such as the city and the people she is working with. Info broker of some type to learn about the city and the people in it, and possible conversations with her fellow heros. I dub the player characters as heros. It's just how I refer them/us. As Loremonger she needs to keep track of these things, obviously, but has spent her time up to this point acqainting herself with the people around her. I was also doing that irl to get used to the RP and method y'all use to discuss things.)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The House of Heroes (Shrine of Tempus) holds regular matches, with friendly amounts of stakes and wagers. Someone can easily spend a day here to earn some coin in the ring, or wager on others doing so.
Since this is day 1 of your Pit Fighting Downtime, it requires that Arthur makes a check to determine his results.
Arthur can choose any ONE of the following to make for today:
Strength (Athletics)
Dexterity (Acrobatics)
Special Constitution check consisting of 1d20 + 1d10 (d10 is your highest Hit Die)
(If desired the character can replace one of these skill checks with an attack roll using one of the character’s weapons)
When you choose one of these 3, it is no longer available for your next 2 checks for this Downtime during the next 5 days.
The DC for you to beat is: 7

Mr Russell "How do you mean?"

*Raven walks in just as Snarf reers around the corner with the fishing rod and she speaks up quickly in hopes of catching him*
"Would you mind if I joined you, Sir Snarf? Perhaps to have someone watch your back while you fish?"

Sure, I'll join you. I don't plan on venturing away from here for the rest of the day anyhow

Whispering again * that's looks like a handy trick on a cold day Mr Russell, that spark you did for your pipe*

Thank you Mr Russell, no offense taken * heads out to the common room for 1 more ale b4 getting ready for the boxing bout search in the morning
Ooc - Anything else before we end the day?
*Ravens bows with respect to Mr. Russell and heads out the door*
"Good evening, Sir Russell. Sleep well. And you as well, Sir Arthur."
*As Raven walks, she pats Arthur softly on the shoulder with a smile then walks directly to her room*
"I am heading to rest for the night, as well. I'll see you in the morning."
