A New Dawn

[frizzer]

Garrelous shakes his head, and stares at Kala, "be careful with that trickery shamen." Then he smiled at Geoffry upon seeing him pick up the purse. "OK, I think this may be enough to set off to Elneth, and you all seem to have your own reasons for going, of which its not my concern, We meet in the morn and venture out,,and for pitties sake, somebody pick up that mapmaker,,we really need her."

[justthisguy]

Geoffry smiles and hands the purse to the glaring Orc (?) "I found this on the floor in front of the bar over there {points}, by the way you are glaring at me I think it yours, here you go, and I did not even open it!"
He tosses the purse to him, then turns back to Garrelous.
"Okay then we leave tommorrow morning! I will make sure the map maker is okay!" He walks over to the window and thanks the barkeep for delivering the wine as he returns to the bar.
"hi again ladies, Dolime are you alright? and thanks again Doc. Wha . . . who are you?" indicating to the smallish lumpy "person".
" We will leave on the morrow to Elneth! perhaps we can find that which we seek!, I sure hope we do!"
Geoffry turns and notices the pretty half-elf.
"Well hello there!!! you are like me!! What is your name? I am Geoffry, it is my pleasure to meet you!"

[kluane]

"I'm Kala - if this 's of any 'nterest" Kala says, "I'll join if Elsa joins. See ya t'morrow". Kala turns and doesn't seem to be interested in Geoffrey at all. He mumbles something in his beard what nobody has a chance to understand. Then a little louder he says: "God, I want that spell..."

[kingdoom]

Doom has bin drinking like an animal all night and has goten very drunk and tierd, He says:Well to morrow we leav but now i go sleep.

[justthisguy]

"Excuse me Kala, but what spell is that?"
<makes a mental note; the pretty half elf is Elsa, wonder if she dances?>

[kluane]

"You don't seem to know anyth'g 'bout it - but if ya like t' know: Well - it's th' spell of th' northern lights. I need it - I need it badly"

For the first time Kala seems to lose it's temper, as he forms his hairy hand to a fist, clenches his jaw and all of sudden throws his empty glass on the floor. It is the first time he doesn't pay attention to shadow his eyes. But - in the middle of this outburst - he calms down again and stops the glass from falling with a quick glance. Then he carefully bends down - takes the floating glass and puts it back on the bar. Then he shadows his eyes again.

"See that - why now and why not everyt'mes?"

Then he turns his attention away from the bar and steers at the glass

"Why do people 'lways wanna know..." he mumbles

After watching the various outbursts in the bar, Doc thinks it may be prudent to sleep in the stables with the chickens and meet up with the group before they leave. She brings another loaf of bread with her to provide crumbs to the fowl.
There's a good chance the group will accept her. Doctors are always useful.

[Hermione]

Dolmine nervously thanks Geoffrey for his concern. Then she carefully stows the Viking's brother's map away -she'll give it back to him when he's sober!- and siddles up the stairs to her room, where she carefully places a chair under her doorknob before going to sleep.

[Vyriello]

Tsevelanth finished his glass of wine while casting a quick glance up and down the pretty half-elf.
"My compliments, barkeep, this wine is maybe my second favorite thing in the room," he said cheerfully giving a significant glance towards the Druid. "Well, I insist that I travel with you lot; I could never forgive myself if I let you all go off and have fun without me!"
Looking back at the Half-Elf he muttered in Elven: "I only hope the fun doesn't have to wait until tommorow."

[magicmuffin]

Regards Kala's magic tricks with delight, "Kala, I'm not completely sure why I am here but you can count on me." Addresses Geoffry "A pleasure to meet you too." With a piercing glance, she can almost read Geofrry's thoughts.
She wanders to the outskirts of town near the cows, preferring to camp under the stars and nearer to nature. Sitting with her back against a tree, she loosens her shortsword from its scabbard and falls into a light sleep with her hand upon the sword. "What will tomorrow bring?" she wonders hazily before falling into a deeper sleep. A crow lands and roosts in the tree to stand vigil.

[justthisguy]

Geoffry was dismayed that he spent too much time in bar and forgot to resevre a room for himself, but at least he was not so drunk that he passed out in the common room. He headed out to the stables and drowsily looked forward to the soft hay in the loft.
He climbed up the loft ladder and looked about for a good spot. He then noticed the gnomish Doc was already here.
"Oh, excuse me Doc, I did not know you were already here, do mind if I find a spot to sleep over there?", pointing to the opposite end of the loft.

[kluane]

Kala leaves the tavern as well. But he doesn't want to sleep. He sits down in the middle of a meadow and starts mysterious and soft singing while he tries to pass the limit to the spirit world.

[bluesparrowhawk]

"Sleep where you wish. Just remember that arsenic, valerian, and wormwood are all considered medicines at properly low concentrations and keep your hands to yourself."

[frizzer]

So the mixed bunch of adventurers retire for the night to various places,,,,,,the quest to Elneth begins in the morrow, what does lie in store................

[kluane]

As soon as Dawn grows - Kala is in front of the Tavern ready to go... <these guys and girls are late - it seems. Maybe I'd eat something before going...> he thinks by himself and bites in one of the apples he found on his short walk into town...

[justthisguy]

Waking in the predawn light, Geoffry gathers his gear and none too quietly leaves the loft.
"Arsenic and valerian and wormwood" he mumbles to himself,"like I WAS going to try to force myself on her"
"I dont understand women, especially gnomish ones"
He sees Kala eating an apple as he comes around the Inn to the front.
"morning Kala, got another apple?"
He had thought about it as he drifted off to sleep last night. Although Kala may have looked 'odd', he was polite and spoke the common tounge, maybe a little garbled but heck he looked alot like a badger and their mouths aren't exactly shaped for human speech.
"I hope you had a restful night, other than an ominus threat from the Doc, I slept comfortably"
<yawn>
"Seen anyone else?"

[frizzer]

Garrelous approached on his warhorse Belgan, "I hope you two aren't thinking of walking to Elneth"

[kluane]

"sure - enough 'pples 'round." Hands an apple to Geoffrey, a little one; he disregards any further questions about the night...

Then he turns to the warhorse and speaks to it in a warm tone. <You like your job? You know where to find some more horses?> After waiting for the answer he turns to Garrelous, looks in his eyes and says: "Just about one mile from here there are 'nough horses f' all of us. Someone just needs a get 'em. I like walk'g. And b'thaway - your horse's kinda hungry."

Kala takes a beautiful apple and hands it over so Belgan could eat it.

[justthisguy]

Geoffry takes the proffered apple, decides not to comment on its size and begins munching. he notes that Kala appears to communicate with Belgan, and it is confirmed when hears Kala's comment on Belgan being hungry.
"Well Kala, Garrelous, how about we go see about rounding up some horses!"
He doffs his pack and digs out rope, a coil of some length and a smaller bag with several shorter pieces used as hobles and halters.
"I am ready!"

[bluesparrowhawk]

Doc thought to herself that there had better be a pony with the horses, but it wouldn't be horrible to share one of the larger mounts with another party member. With few exceptions, the party seemed rather clean. Life could be worse.
She noticed the shaman speaking to the horse. It takes all kinds...
Geoffry seemed a little offended by her remark, so she approached him and said," Sorry for being so prickly, but when you're as short and cute as I am, many men find that to be an open invitation for all sorts of unwanted attention."
