The above is a reference guide to generate the encounters. I'll be using a different encounter generation table, so they won't match up with the original tables. Just FYI.
If looking you see a normal build human sitting with back against wall and sipping on an ale. Hair is blonde with some purple highlights. Loose fitting Green cloak covers his torso. Sword scabbard picks out below bottom of the cloak.
A duergar in full armor ambles up to the human, shouldering his maul and with a creepy little owl perched on his shoulder. He stands next to the human as if waiting for the same thing.
”Are you here for Ral and Smudge?” Darbakh asks quietly, as if they’re doing something illegal.
Looking up and away from the door, the human eyes the dwarf. “Could be that I’m waiting for them, or something else. Depends who has the other pieces to this”. As I say this, I slowly reach into my pocket, Pulling out a playing card that has been ripped. Laying it down on the table it forms the bottom left of a playing card. It also has a partial ruin drawn on its back
The actual cards face is however not shown Only the back is observable
Darbakh peers around as if he expects guards to be watching them. "Show him the card," he says to his owl quietly.
The owl reaches into its thick feathers with one foot and pulls out a torn piece of a playing card as well. The piece looks almost like it fits with the human's once it's down on the table.
Smudge steps over with four ales. “Oh good, you already have an ale,” he says to the human since he had not accounted for him. He passes two ales to the dwarf and owl, keeps one for himself and the other for Ral. “Oh, ar, ar, ar are we sharing these things?” he asks as he pulls out his portion of a card. “I’m looking forward to seeing it all put together - it looks like it could be a message.”
(Ooc sorry was just filling time until we were ready)
looking up at the new comer, pointinting my eyes twds the ripped card in the table, I ask if he has a token to join this discussion. (ooc to move this along I’ll fill this next portion in)
the newcomer looks across the table from where he is standing and leans in , slowly drawing his hands out of his outfit. He flourishes a card fragment and asks “does this cover my entrance fee?” As he sits it down it is the completed outline of a ripped card
the Human smiles And looks at the party members and says “let’s see if everyone is in the right place” As he does so, his hand passes over the card and before everyone’s eyes the card starts to mend itself Once mended the human reaches down and picks the card up that now has a well formed rune on it Looking at its face a small smile forms
“For those of you who can’t read the rune It is a rune of friendship, and it looks like we’re all here. Names Petnan. And our adventure is ready to start. “
He lays down the mended card face up a smiling red joker stares back at the party
Ral smiles at the Drow elf, "Nice trick. While I stick to mostly bashing things I can appreciate a good magic show. Shall we head out to the forest and see what we can find."
More a statement than a question as he starts out the door.
Ral takes the left side of the path while Petnan takes the center as they walk abreast.
OOC - Are there any familiars or pets that need to be accounted for?

(OOC - yeah, Darbakh has an owl familiar which doesn't seem to like Ral. It's mostly for roleplaying flavor, but occasionally it might obey orders long enough to be halfway useful)

Ral has his interest peeked with the activity going on. He looks on and gabs a chair if one is offered or stands looking on.

“Darbakh Smokestack,” the duergar says without any hint of a smile. “As I was telling Smudge, this little miscreant on my shoulder is Runok.”
The owl shrinks away slightly at the sight of Ral; it seems to be afraid of the barbarian and puffs its feathers up slightly.

Sorry for all the duplicate post. On my end it didn't show them posting and acted like they were not going through. Like the site was down.
I'll add the owl but not put it in harm's way.
