Legacy of Caledis - Alnor

Recommended Posts

Doroth's answer to the innkeeper's question is interrupted by the sound of the flute wafting over the inn. That's a tune from the ages he thinks to himself. He's glad of one thing, though. The musician's tune has quieted the throng in the inn, and his defenses come down a little bit. Not wishing to be rude, he waits patiently until the musician is done, then turns to he new companions.

 

"We seem to be an eclectic group." He says quietly to them. "Perhaps we should talk to our musician friend over there and invite him to join us as well. It is obvious that our destiny lies not within the pub part of an inn. Might one who has more, ummmmm, skill in the asking perhaps invite the musician to join us? Mayhaps we can then adjourn to a more quiet site to talk. All of these people, I must admit, make me quite nervous."

 

With that, he sits back, wondering if the innkeeper will remember that he hasn't put an order in yet. If he doesn't - that's just as good he thinks to himself. An Elf! What a wondrous time we live in. If only my mother could be here to see this, she would indeed be awed and.... His thoughts trail away as he thinks of his mother. There are some parts of him that still long for the comfort of her kitchen. Why had he allowed the rift between he and his father to grow so large as to engulf his relationship with all of those he loved?

Upon seeing Celiorion Nikita mutters, "An Elf, how interesting." To anyone that does not know her, she is not the least bit surprised, but this is because of years of knowing that a negative response to surprises can get yourself killed. Those that know her well would be aware of fact that if Nikita is acknowledging the elf outloud, it means she is very surprised.

Nikita listens intently to the tune the elf is playing. Then, after hearing Doroth's suggestion, she walks over towards the elf and waits for the innkeeper to finish talking to him.

Celiorion finishes the tune and is surprised to find the innkeeper in front of him an saying that he can stay as long at he wants. He smiles to him and says, " Please sir, a simple meal of stew, some cider and a pallet by the fire would be plenty. And, if I may, I'd like to play some more after dinner if it's alright with you. This flute has a lovely tone."

 

Seeing the young woman behind him, "But if you would please excuse me, it seems this woman would like to talk." Looking to Nikita, "May I help you?"

"My name is Nikita. The Dwarf over there," Nikita makes a gesture towards Doroth, "wants to meet you, but he seems to feel uncomfortable when meeting new people."

Nikita pauses for a second...

"I was wondering if you are any good with that bow," Nikita says, pointing to the bow at the Elf's side. "I want to assemble a group of adventurers to go investigate the Western Wastelands, or Jarlon’s keep. There is a mage who wants to know about the former, and the king is interested in why there have been no communications from the latter. I am certain that around here there is no shortage of people who can bash things, but I am looking for someone with more... finesse."

 

OOC: Nikita's biography and personality are done, exept for a few minor details.

Celiorion looks at Nikita and smiles warmly. "You are with the dwarf? Truly? I would be honored to meet him... and any one else in your group." He points to the innkeeper that he will be joining Nikita's group and starts to head towards that table.

 

"As for my skills with a bow, I usually hit what I intend." He stops and looks back at Nikita. "You say you are looking for adventurers to go to the Wastes or the Keep? That sounds.... interesting. I haven't travelled that way yet. I also have a few other skills which may be helpful on an overland journey. Why don't we discuss this with the others though? I'm not sure how they would feel travelling with a "creature of legend". Would you introduce me to your friends please?"

"A creature stops being a legend once it is standing before you, I think my friends can introduce themselves. Also, if your skills with the bow are as you say, then it would be useful if you join us, though I too posses skills in the use of the bow."

Nikita thinks for a second, "You seem to have forgotten to introduce yourself."

 

Nikita turns to the barkeeper, "Barkeeper, where can I find the mage that wants to know of the Western Wastelands? Also, should we decide to do that, how do I tell the King that my band of adventurers wants to investigate the lack of communications from Jarlon's Keep?"

 

OOC: Celiorion seems to be enjoying the attention he is getting

April 4 - 22.36

 

The barkeeper is quite surprised at Nikita's question. "Oh, adventurers are you? I should have thought that - you seem to be well outfitted for the work. And to ask me... Well, let me tell you. I don't know about the king, but by the mage that seeks the Wastelands, you must mean Kaebard. Finally someone who takes him seriously... Or you just don't know him." He regards you for a while. "Anyway, he is an odd sort of mage, used to belong to the guild. Was a high ranking member too. Then he just left, and now he lives by his own rules. And is he strange at that! You wouldn't know he's a mage unless you knew him personally. He doesn't wear any fancy robes or anything. In fact he is hardly distinguishable from a peasant. But I like him nonetheless. He actually knows what he is doing most of the time. He comes here once in a while and tells me about his studies and discoveries. He's talked about the Wastes more than once, and I believe them. There is something there! Listen, if you want to find him..." He eyes around suspiciously and lowers his voice to barely more than a whisper. "Exit the inn and go down the street to the right as far as it goes. Then turn left and his house is the third on the right. It doesn't stand out amongst the others, so you wouldn't know if anyone didn't tell you. If you're really serious about it, then you better let him know."

Then without further words he goes to the kitchen to order that a meal be made for the travelers.

The other patrons, seeing that the music is over, start to slowly leave the tavern, yawning as they go.

Celiorion laughs at Nikita's comment. "Do not think that my head is swelled so much that I consider myself a creature of legend! No, I am merely repeating what has crossed the minds of these humans. By their own admission, this is the first time many have seen one of my kind. I am just glad I have given them a pleasant memory in which to enjoy the evening."

 

Cel and Nikita arrive at their table. Cel grabs a chair from the next table, sits down, and nods in greeting to the folks seated around the table.

 

"Hail and well met. My name is Celiorion, but please, call me Cel. I'm travelling around looking to broaden my horizons and learn about other people and places. Nikita here has mentioned that you folks are travelling - looking for adventure -and has invited me to join your group. I must say that I am interested. And with such as group as this! Greetings!" Looking to Doroth, Cel nods a bit more formally, and says "Greetings Rockbrother. It is not often that your folk venture this far from your halls. I look forward to travelling with you."

Sinela has spent the last few minutes staring in astonishment at the elf, astonished at what she sees. When he starts to come over, she begins to pull into herself, but then with a shake, she mutters to herself, "stop being silly, he looks normal enough, and no one else is acting like he's an ogre, now take a drink and be civil" With that she finishes her drink and when they arrive back at the table she gives a warm smile. "Greetings sir, my name is Sinela and I am a herbalist by trade. You probably hear this a lot, but I have never seen the likes of you before. You play beautiful music." She is talking a little faster than usual.
