Chapter 1: The First Hunt

You're rushed into a nearby tent. The only thing you see is a tall black dragonborn with his back to you. His gold dragon leather armor is a stark contrast to his skin. The men who rushed you inside remain outside. Are you the best we could come up with?You don't have the looks of hunters, but I suppose it's my job to make you that way, isn't it? He turns around to face you. A deep scar crosses his face.

The short, lithe gnome beams a smile, hands behind her waist. Lotus tilts her head to one side and leans in a pose of flattered embarrassment.

Re: Chapter 1: The First Hunt

Krenq bares his orcish underbite and fangs at the dragonborn, and growls lowly. He grabs the top of his head with his left hand, under his chin with his right, and makes a swift twisting motion with his head, an audible crack filling the tent. Krenq then looks down at the gnome and reveals a toothy, amused smile, patting the gnome on the head. He chuckles, having forgotten the chip he had on his shoulder from the previous moment.

"I'm a lover not a fighter, perhaps we could talk about who will be making what over a bottle of wine?" Markus says winking to the dragonborn adjusting his elegant clothes and his rapier that seem to be incredibly in contrast with his muscular build.

Re: Chapter 1: The First Hunt

"Hallo!" Brunhilde curtsies to the dragonborn who she can only assume is the director, and inclines her head at the others in the room, probably fellow cast members. "I'm so honored to be here!" The dwarf hefts her shield and axe, setting her fat jowls a-jiggling. "I must say I'm very impressed by these incredibly realistic props and costumes!" Her eyes widen as realization washes over her. Suddenly embarrassed, Brunhilde whispers to the gnome beside her, "Isn't this a company call? Is everyone in character already?"

Brunhilde nods. Oh my, what a horrible first impression I've made, messing up the opening scene! But I never received a script! I wasn't told this was improv! Well, there's nothing I can do but put my best foot forward and win them over! Brunhild strikes her most heroic pose: straight back, stance strong but feminine, dimple-backed hands gripping her weapon and shield with confidence, chins up and face held in profile. She takes half a step forward to catch the best available light. "I am ready." she intones in a well-modulated voice.

Well, I suppose we need to see what you lot are capable of, yes? Follow me. The Dragonborn pushes past you and leads you to a make shift arena. The four of you will be taking on one opponent, you should be able to make quick work, no? He motions for you to enter.

Re: Chapter 1: The First Hunt

"Well my abilities are more in the ways of seducing the opponent so I don't see how a man of peace like myself would make himself useful here..."

He says fumbling with his rapier and "accidentally" bumping into the dragonborn, who should feel lighter now that he has been relased of the annoying weight of his gold purse.

Before the Dragonborn reacts, Markus throws him his purse back, "Careful mister, you've dropped that."

"Now, let's go about besting this challenge eh? Teamwork? Now, as your leader, cunning strategist and handsome advisor, I think the big Guy there and our Glorious Maiden should charge whatever they throw at us while me and the little girl here go around it to flank... You stay behind me little girl, and try to kick it in the nuts."

Looks like that one is the comic relief. Brunhilde thinks, glancing at the flamboyant half-orc. I'm just glad he's not the romantic lead! "Glorious Maiden" yes, that's me!

Adjusting her horned helm she steps forward and comes abreast of the other half-orc, the brawny one. She sets her shield and raises her axe as her voice soars to a heroic refrain. "Ho yo to HOOO!!!"

My, that's a realistic looking giant wolf! These props are so impressive! I'm so lucky I landed this gig!

"That went well, I think. I wish I could have landed a blow on the beast...I DID have some weapons training before I went into the entertainment biz...but all in all I think the miss added dramatic tension.

Re: Chapter 1: The First Hunt

As you all walk outside, Mynok is waiting for you. This way. He moves quickly, but not rushed. As you move through the town, you notice that it seems to be a very basic military town. Their are smiths hammering, merchants setting up their wares, people stumbling out of the tavern, men and women buttoning up clothes as they exit the brothel, and many people walking around in armor and weapons. Mynok leads you back to the tent you were in the day before and holds the door open for you. In you go. As you enter, the interior has changed yet again. This time, there are 4 benches facing the far side of the tent with a suspended map and the Dragonborn standing next to it, holding a small dagger. Come, come, sit, sit. the dragonborn bellows.

He also scans the room for valuables including seeing if the dagger the dragonborn is weilding is richly decorated or just a simple dagger.

Re: Chapter 1: The First Hunt

Suddenly the cart jolts to a stop. Everyone hears the sound of a distressed horse neighing. The horse seems to rise up into the air and the neighing gets farther and farther away.

Mynok points his finger towards the front of the cart and whispers something unintelligible. A small gust of wind blows some smoke away. "Well, it seems our horses are no longer here. We might as well unload. Everybody be ready for whatever is out there."

Unfortunately my large friend I could not tell you who led them. It was a small army of various monsters. Mephits, goblins, trolls. Though the one that did all of this fire damage was an elemental. But they all seem single minded in their goal, so they had to have a leader. If you want to find them, I can only suggest seeking out a the small band of goblins that live to the North of here. We've had issues with them over the years but never like this. They may know who did this.

As you all pas through this darkness, you move through what seems like a sheet of blackness. On the other side, the first things you notice are bright lights and loud music. Looking around, you see what appears to be a bustling tavern. Patrons move about, occasionally greeting you, some looking more suspicious than others. The tavern is two layers, the bottom is an open space that seems typical of a tavern, the upper level is a series of balconies over looking the bottom. There are three bartenders serving up drinks, two humans females and a half-orc male.

Re: Chapter 1: The First Hunt

@Lena They left you with 5 GP.

OOC:

I will allow the inspiration. If this were a table game, you would have used it in time, so I will allow it. However, Krenq is still going to be incredibly drunk. Ignore the previous post about the contest and read here.

Krenq drinks half of his ale and begins to falter, but then his new friend begins to cheer for him, inspiring the crowd. Krenq feels inspired by this cheering and chugs the rest of the ale, then slams the glass down, a little harder than intended, smashing a hole through the table.

Gloria smiles. Let's give it up to our winner! She then hands you the 11 GP that you won. Now, give us just a few minutes to get set up for our next event.

The three of you, as well as three other competitors make your way to the stage. There are six rows, each with one knife on each table. about 20' from you are number targets of varying sizes, 1-10.

Each round, each competitor will declare what number target they will aim for. If you miss your target, you are out. If everyone hits their target, lowest score is out. We play until one person or no person remains. Questions?

As you all make you way downstairs, breakfast is served. Anything you heart could desire is found here.

Krenq walks down with his battleaxe to breakfast, and sniffs it to see if he notices anything funny about the food.

Lena eats well, thanks her host and then makes for the door. Shall we?

Krenq shovels the food into his mouth quickly, swallows quickly, and then takes his battleaxe and heads with Lena.

Fallen approaches Krenq slowly and a bit timidly Excuse me sir I heard last night you mentioned you knew the miss who won the game. Is that true?

Re: Chapter 1: The First Hunt

Lotus finally wakens and shuffles out into the common room. Her mind barely registers the food placed before her, and she almost buries her nose in her morning tea.

After some time, her breakfast is finished, and Lotus takes her leave to walk out of the tent. "Mornin'," she mumbles to whomever might be around, and regardless of whether or not it actually is.
