Chapter 1: Lady Luck's Curtsy

Glad you noticed I'm not a proper dwarf never have been and never will be. But I demand a Dwarven fight between me and that elf Ada yells as she points her war hammer at Rolen Say no and lose her to me or say yes and prove that you can stand and fight what you are fighting a claim for!

You fool a Dwarven fight in an bar is a contest of Will. I will drink that man under the A scared face comes over Adas face and looks around in search of something.

"There will be no mettle testing tonight. We are here to rest before traveling, if the dwarf has a problem with me she can deal with it tomorrow. Rolen says to Ada before turning to the other dwarf "Mr. Onyxarm, I presume, you have my apologies for the disturbance and if there are any more you can deal with them accordingly but I ask don't punish this group for the actions of one."

Baraq hisses quietly to herself. The lack of a good fracas inside this tavern speaks highly of how boring it must be here.

Rolen nods to Onyxarm "You have my thanks." he then turns back to the group and pulls a handful of keys from his pocket "If you desire a room, come take a key."

Baraq does not take a key. Instead, she gathers up her belongings, eats one more fermented berry as a nightcap, and heads outside. She flits up to one of the second floor balconies to roost.

But I just want him to know that I mean business Ada goes from loud to quiet realizing that she has made a fool of herself. She walks up to Onyxarm and says in a disappointed voice Im sorry for an disturbance I may have caused I just wanted to impress her Ada removes the berries and feathers out of her hair gathers her things and leaves the bar silently i know where I'm not wanted Ada says to herself silently as she walks aimlessly through town

Seeing Ada slump off, Rolen places 6 keys onto the table, confusingly picks up one of the feathers she dropped, and looks to the group "Excuse me, if you will." He sprints after Ada, clutching her shoulder "Forgive me, I didn't mean to offend or douse your inner fire. You don't need to prove to me you mean business, but stating what business you have with me would be wise." kneeling down, he places a key in her hand "I think I've gathered what made you upset and I want you to know I have no interest in Rava." Rolen smiles and places the feather back in Ada's hair "Pray to your god she didn't see how you were acting if she did, apologize to her. Follow your heart but remember to use your brain." He stands back up, gives Ada a nod, and hopes to make it back to the group before any more problems arise with his 'wild caddle'.

Red i the face Ada says in a broken way while holding the tears back. I'm sorry I acted the way I did its just the last time I saw a man enter the room of a loved one. She never came back out the same. I was but a child who could barely make out what was happening. All I remember was being powerless since I could do noting about it. Seeing you go into that room alone with Rava brought back terrible memories of that night. And now that I'm older I wanted to do something about it but it seems that I have not grown enough. I am still a child and was still powerless to do anything Taking the feather from Rolen's hand she says Thank you but I think its best I stay away from that place for the night. I will be near by if you need me. Ada exits the establishment and looks for a near by place that has a tree or running water where she can sit and think or perhaps a pile of rocks she can put together.

Disappointed in a lack of a show, I head out towards the closest approximation of a forest and find a comfortable spot to sleep by a tree.

Baraq stretches her wings, uncaring if anyone had occupied the room with the balcony that she made her roost. Talons digging loudly into the wood and stone, she proceeds to stretch her muscles and loudly gather her equipment.
