Adventure Thread - Oak Grove Whispers

Roeban sits quietly, gauging to see if this seems like a cohesive adventuring party or if he can foresee bickering and squabbling in the future.

The Gray Mule starts filling as the sun sets. When the harlots don't arrive, the old cobblers and merchants start chanting for them. Molli - Molli - Molli - Red - Red - Red - and eventually, even Jen - Jen - Jen.

You overhear one cobbler say he saw Molli and Jennan heading up the stairs of the Red Door Tenement last night. "Silly girls, what are they doing in Hounds of Camber territory? Don't they make enough from our poor old souls?"

The Red Door tenements is a 4 story apartment where each apartment is accessed from a balcony walkway. There is a wooden stairway on the western side. Each floor above the ground floor has a flimsy looking wooden rail. Every door in the place is painted red- thus the name. Each floor has 6 apartments.

As the sun has set, the top (4th) floor of the tenement is quite busy. There are burly looking toughs drinking and laughing, occasionally punching each other in the arm in tests of strength and toughness. Several mean and raggedy dogs walk around the balcony, too. As you move closer, you also spy two more men on the stairs between floors 2 and 3. Several dogs walk around on the street near the tenement. People give both the dogs and the men wide berth.

You walk up the stairway to the men between the 2nd and 3rd floors.

They smell of cheap wine and after listening to you they smirk and one says "Ah, yeah. I'm the landlord. We can put you on the list for 20 gold. When an apartment comes up, we'll let you know"

"That whore? We ain't her pimp! Why don't you get lost!"

"You guys look like Adventurers Guild to me. This ain't no dungeon. You don't want to mess with the Hounds of Camber...." the tough looks wild eyed and unafraid. Two dogs that were sitting on the 3rd floor stoop growl quietly and walk down the stairs, sitting behind the two toughs.
