When they come to sit at Agna's table, Izuhn makes himself at home. "Sorry about that, like I said business matters. Tavern's not the place for too much business though. Makes ya miss out on the fun!" He extends his arm for a handshake. "Name's Izuhn Frostbeard, good to meet ya. Nah, not right off. I'm here moving some cargo from the south, escorting a caravan. Might stop in though, hard to beat a fine Dwarven craft."

Adaia will join Agna and Izuhn at the table, introducing herself to the dwarves with a handshake as she had seen the other do.
OOC:
another chance for Adaia to make a fool introducing herself I suppose
"I'm Adaia, pleased to meet you. and turning to Agna this would be the caravan then? Where are we headed?"

"Awhile, afore the gray grew in," Agna says, fingering a loose braid streaked with the colour. "Ye don't keep too long at this job if yer not cut for it," she adds in simple acknowledgement to the unasked question in Helda's praise. "If it ain't the cold to send ye to an early casket, the Dale'd be happy t'do it."

"It'd be Bryn Shander where we stop first." Agna watches as steaming bowls are brought over to their table. She sticks a spoon into the browness and starts to eat.

Helda Silverstream
"Frostbeard..." Helda thinks about the name for a moment, but is quickly distracted by the others. "Ah yer completely right! Nothing beats em fine Dwarven crafts, both metal and liquid!" Turning to new elf joining them. "Helda Silverstream, ye also joining to Bryn Shander?" Helda nods as Agna mentions the town's name. "Yer friend here is right. These passages are tricky business and its not just the cold that can send ye to an early casket. Better join em who know the north".

OOC:
Ok, since there's some interest on the side quest (maybe not from Agna), I'll nudge in that direction. Feel free to keep the social RP going for a little longer
You continue to chat and eat and, after a while, Bjorn returns. "Looks like Kalannai is trying to keep the locals from worrying, but the business in the eastern neighbor is not completely solved." the woman starts explain to Adaia and Izuhn. "She is worried about the reports of new sightings. The locals won't be able to contain the problem for much longer if these creatures continue to show up from out of nowhere. She may be able to scrape a small bounty together for anyone interested in helping out cleaning up the neighborhood"

OOC:
Agna did offer to help, but the earlier conversation did make her think the elementals were already dealt with lol.
Agna turns her gaze outside the window, where flecks of snow drift endlessly from the cloud-filled sky. Their encounter with the derelict ship had already delayed the journey across the Dale. The encroaching winter would not take that into consideration before it howled down the valleys. She counted the days inside her head, whether they would reach Bryn Shandalar before winter after yet another detour.

Oh yeah totally! plenty of time... how bad could it be waiting out a few day when winter lasts for half an year? It's not like you can miss it šŸ¤£
Jul 14, 2023 12:06 pm
OOC:
I'll take that as the failure making Agna think it's fine then... You can keep the actual truth as secret until we all freeze to death midway to Bryn Shander :P

Turning to new elf joining them. "Helda Silverstream, ye also joining to Bryn Shander?"
"Yes I was hoping too, as you say it's better to go with a group that knows what they're doing. How long is the trip, are we going by foot - I might have to get some clothing that is better suited"
OOC:
Adaia is already fairly warmly dressed, but probably not quite adequate for a long trek in the cold
Regarding what Momma says to her she turns to consult with her potential companions, noticing that Agna is looking out the window with a look of worry "I'm certainly interested in providing some assistance, but will we delay the trek too long?What do you both think?"
OOC:
As Agna failed by 1, is it reasonable that Adaia would have some notes in a journal about the winter seasons that could assist?
"**Maybe these will help us plan**" Adaia takes out some notes from a journal and hands them to Agna

OOC:
It is! You can easily say you consulted some books on weather divination and you did a few rituals to prepare for the travel for example. That would turn Agna's into a success! I can integrate that on my post :D

"A bounty is well and good but more pressing is the value of the shelter being destroyed. Winter isn't going to care about the poor tragedy that struck the village when it comes to freezing to death. I've got other business on that side of town as well, so I'm in."

As Agna looks outside the window, whatching the flecks of snow drift endlessly, she wonders if they have time for another stop. Winter is early this year, but to be fair, they probably have a bit more time before the pass closes. Itā€™s simply too early.

As she is about to say it should be ok, Adaia shows her notes full of arcane symbols of high wizardry the orc is unfamiliar with. However, as the elf walks her through the results of her divinations, Agna as the strange feeling that it might be already too lateā€¦
OOC:
Just adding drama before you answer RAAMā€™s post. Agna levels up nature with that double 5 šŸŽ‰

"No better than them who end up starvin' midwinter in the Ten Towns, if'n we tarry too long to cross the Dale in time," Agna counters. Her own intuition being at odds with the elven mage's scribbles sends the shaman into a grim mood. "Bah! One afternoon," she says. "No more'n that before we leave. And pray the pass keeps open," Agna adds. Her chair creaks, pushed back when she gets onto her feet.

"Helda, you see Beorne, tell him to get ready to go and stay where I can find 'im. We go today, or we don't go at all."

Helda nods as Agna demands leaving today. "I'll pick Beorne from those Manycoins myself if I have to!" The dwarves burst out laughing, maybe due to the far too heroic tone of her voice, but most likely from all the ale they already consumed.

Once Bjorn gets Agna's agreement, she smiles and takes them outside. "Well my dearies, I have to go back and convince the miners to help, but the smoke over there is the eastern neighborhood. It's a small town, you can't miss it" she points over to the east around the harbor before going back in to the Drunken Dwarf.
OOC:
Moving to the quest! let me know if you want to talk with someone on the way out! Feel free to add details to the town as you investigate. I'll need a stealth roll from everyone.
Jul 18, 2023 12:39 pm
OOC:
Do we roll stealth even if we aren't being sneaky?
Jul 18, 2023 12:44 pm
OOC:
Yes, it's one of those D&D "hidden checks" to see how the next part will go down... and an opportunity to narrate the transition to the next part of town :D
Jul 18, 2023 12:53 pm
OOC:
Hmm. What do you think about just rolling for us in these kind of situations? Since the rolls always happen, you won't need to wait for us to post and can just proceed with the next scene.

Of course the others might prefer rolling by themselves, but I don't mind if a GM rolls for me xD
Jul 18, 2023 6:51 pm
"Well then I guess we had better get going. Shall we speak with Kalannai before heading out? Would be nice to get some more details about the town and the elementals - someone else should probably do the talking though, I haven't made a great first impression"
OOC:
I wouldn't mind you doing the rolls for us in a case like this, but whatever is easier for you

Edit: I'm rolling a lot of doubles :)

"Speak to Kalannai?" Momma replies "What more details do you want to know? I have seen some little devils made of ice in there when we were evacuating the neighborhood. Not sure if that helps, but I can call Kalannai if you want to know more." Momma gets ready to go back in, stopping for a moment as she cross the elf, before she opens the door.

CESN sent a note to riley
OOC:
and that is another level up for Adaia! Not very successful socially, but quick learner xD
