The Hunter's Mark

A few patrons look at the stag with clear bite marks piercing through its hide. One of them looks at the stag and then looks at you. Where did you find this?

@Harbek Lena smiles at you and hands you 5 gold. It was worth it just to see Serpentskull lose. He was undefeated ya know? Also, I've made plenty of coin offa ya friend here. I'll be covering his room and board for a while. Only fair innit?

@Que
A group off women wearing leathers and furs approach you. One of them quickly introduces herself Hi there newcomer. I'm Melina a trapper here at Berda Trading Post. Those bite marks were made by a dire wolf. Nasty sorts but their fur's worth a bundle. If you tell me where you found it why I'd be happy to cut you in for say 25 gold once I catch it. How about it?

It is at this point that Saris enters the Hunter's Mark. Saris you see a party in full swing. Magak seems to be everybody's best friend and he is sitting at a table with Harbek and a dwarf that you don't recognise. You also see Que talking to what appears to be a group of female rangers. She looks to be having a good time.

Melina gives you a weird look as if she's not entirely sure what's going on then she says OK. Thanks for the info.
As for hunting together, maybe next time. Also, if you are going to hunt then please be careful. Dire Wolves have been known to kill for pleasure hence that kill that you found there. There's one in particular, a nasty brute we nicknamed 'Shadow'. He's killed three of my girls. Good huntresses all of them. Be careful ok?

As Saris approaches and leans in to see if Harbek would come outside for a quick chat, he looks across the table at his drinking companion, Haedrid,

"Excuse me a moment Haedrid, looks like I be needin' to stretch me legs for a moment and let the drink settle."

Looking to Saris, he nods and then stands to stretch and head towards the door.

As Saris finishes speaking, Harbek lets his words sink in and begins to think about what he has heard. Rubbing his chin as he thinks, he retraces his steps since waking in the rectory.

"Hmmm. Well let me think. I haven't had much interaction with the folk, but they do seem to be genuinely unphased by things. That other dwarf Haedrid, do appear to be a nice fella, and he did up and give me a battle axe and shield to replace the one what I left onboard our last boat, the one what we didn't blow up. Even if that be payment for helpin' him clear the mess off the beach, it were a bit much."

Looking at Saris gravely for a moment, then waving the notion away,

"But us dwarves be lookin' out for each other in ways others can't be known', so there be nothin' to that. Then there be the halfling what runs this place. She was a might happy to extend credit to a fella what just washed up on the shore. Could be good business, could be strange. Hard to tell."

Further thinking over the things that passed this day, "The strangest thing though, be how that monster of a fella took to gettin' beat by Magak so well. Had it be two dwarves at that table one, or both, would have been punched at the end. I suppose we should be on our guard and keepin' particular watch on folks."

Thinking for a moment before responding,

Sleepin' in the wild be no problem for meself. Does the mind good to be out under them stars. You know them to be proof that even in the dark, Pelor's presence be found when you look for it.

Not wanting to drift into a sermon, Harbek turns his attention to the question asked by Saris,

um, yes well. I know Magak and the druid, Que I think she be called, be inside. I'm not to be knowin' where the other one be. I hasn't seen him since before when we all be in the infirmary?

@Saris. @Harbek@Que
Well, it's a lovely size but the fur is quite torn. I can give ya 5 days board or 20 gold. What one do ya want?
