the half-drow ponders the name for a moment... bonebenders...

skill check rolled a 23

[Lerik]

Scaras sits in the back of the tavern watching everyone from his shadowy little corner while thinking to himself i wonder how long it will be before the cult finds this little haven we half breeds have.

[Barlycorn]

“I’ll take the dwarven wine,” says Ari’gaz, thinking the question was to her. The half-orc, who just took the next stool over, speaks over her. Ari frowns at her and repeats her request to the barkeep. She takes a bite of her fish as the half-orc mentions the Bonebenders and turns to Ari and makes a comment about her looking devilish.

The tiefling stops eating and looks at the half-orc. She sees the smile and knows that this oaf probably was probably just trying to be funny. She also knows, though, that at least some of the patrons in the tavern heard the comment, too. Ari’gaz spent part of her youth in street gangs where jokes can be misconstrued as put downs and put downs can lead to a loss of respect.

Ari stands and faces the half-orc, “you should be careful with your tongue, bonebender,” disdain coats her voice. “Some would take offense at such a comment.” The tiefling’s hands are hanging loose at her sides but the hilts of her sword and dagger are clearly showing.

ooc Knowledge check = 23

"Few people would dare such thing against a Bonebender, little one," she slides off her chair with a grin, and there is a chain dangling from one of her hands. "I was just commenting on the exoticness of your features, sweetie. I didn't realise you were a self hating tiefling." The chain begins to swaying hypnotically. "I meant no offense. So I can buy you that wine and we can settle this like ladies," her tusky grin gets even wider, "Or we can go outside and settle this like wenches."

The scarred one coughs a bit at the half-orc's last word, being one of the younger in the tavern, but quickly goes back to finishing his food... He prepares for any possible trouble, keeping an eye on several of the tavern's patrons.

[Barlycorn]

“Bonebreaker, maybe,” says Ari’gaz, standing as still as stone, “bonebending just doesn’t sound so bad, you know? But, since you are being so gracious in buying my drink, maybe we can test my theory some other time. Besides, I’d hate to get barred from the only tavern around.” She smiles at the half-orc and sits down to her fish again, turning her back slightly on the other woman as she does so.

Once Patience sits down, Ari turns to her, “what made someone like you go into hiding on this island?”

[dragonfire]

Paitence drink what you are given you find that you are starting to get the nice warm and happy feeling about you.

Ari drinking down the strong dwarven wine, thou you yourself may not notice but those near you can hear how badly your words have started to become slurred and the room doesnt seem to stand quite as still as it did when you first entered.

As everyone sitts about the tavern you all notice a sudden movement towards the notice board as a man pins up a new report. From the looks on several of there faces you can see that several people are worried.

[JonnyGulliver]

"Bonebenders sounds friendlier, I think. More so that the Blood Fire of the Rage Tusk Tribes. We're more civilized. Bending bone is a very profitable trade."

Addressing the Hiding comment:

"Hiding? Why would I hide? Does this cult have people that scared? No, I'm just trailblazing new territory," with that, for no apparent reason, she burst out in a hysterical high-pitched giggle. "Oh my. I feel like a floating bubble on the wind in a lily field. Tee-hee! Hows the dwarven stuff?"

Noting the new postings, she jumps out of her chair with gusto. "Ooh. New news!" And then she flutters oevr to begins reading the postings.

[Barlycorn]

Ari’gaz feels herself succumbing to the effects of alcohol and is slightly annoyed about it. She usually has better control over herself. This stuff must be quite potent.

She had heard of the Bonebenders before. They have a bit of a reputation.

Ari had missed the board when she walked in so she gets up (her fish was mostly finished anyway) and walks over to see what is there. She was getting more annoyed at the way the room was swaying a bit.

As he finishes his food and drink, the scarred youth keeps an eye on the man who posted the latest announcement. Putting down 4 silver pieces on the counter, he asks the bartender while still eyeing the man, Bartender, who's he? gesturing towards the man moving away from the postboard...

[Lerik]

After the man post's the new news Scaras gets up and walks over to the board to take a look at what it said. He dodged inbetween the drunkards and those who wernt drunk yet they had had just a little to much but were still able to walk with only a slight wobble in there steps.

[dragonfire]

IIm'XuIvol the bartender looks over to the board, That be Fymbor he is one of the individuals that makes trips back to the main land for needed supplies, he often brings back news with him.

As everyone crowds around the board you can see the news post is from Port Haven. It tells about the recent murder of Glanion Elervaul son of Indóion Elervaul lead of one of the local wood elf tribes, Glanion was engaged to marry Trisa Urthadar daughter to Lord Nicolas Urthadar of Port Haven.

[morALEXception]

Hmmm, well, lets take a look at what he brought... and so the dark figure covers up his scar again, and walks over to the board. After doing a bit of reading, he murmurs, Kenoras, eh? Hmm, should look into him i suppose... He then moves towards the exit, and calls out to the barkeep, What are the rules for that board? I don't suppose i can just rip off something on it, eh? and whats your name again? I don't recall hearing it...

[dragonfire]

The bartender looks to you, You didnt hear my name cause I never gave it, most people just call me barkeep, but if you must know I am Kultras. As for the board it would be better if you didnt take things down, other people still need to read the news and notices.

[morALEXception]

Ah, thank you again for your time and answers. Last question, and i'll be out of our hairs, at least for the time being... Where can a person find Kenoras?
