The Game

Professor Vortrin you know some things outside of the usual tale (which you can recite if you want). You first know that some people knew of Isaac Heuster and its believed by some that his origins came from New Fundy. You also know that Isaac was known for searching into the origins of creatures from shadow. You know also that the West, as well as the oceans south of the continent have had a history of shadow creature sightings. While the exact type of creature changes depending on the source asked you know from the extensive studying you've done on the topic that the sightings have increased in the past 3 decadesAs you look upon both the dwarf and gnome you dont feel like anything is too out of the ordinairy. The dwarf comes off to you as someone whose been around the lands and is experiences while the gnome looks as though hes spent more than his fair share of time with his face infront of a book.

The dwarf picks at his scarred nose a little "The name is Nuragot Opalchin" claims the dwarf calmly.

"And thats fine if you dont believe me Gnome, but I dont recall seeing you around here at all until now. I, on the other hand, have been living in this town for a good amount of ten years and know my place around while you spent time brushing up on history of the lands" he says skeptically of the Gnome.

A couple others start to come into the tavern now to get some morning grub. One of the patrons sets down a bowl of hot soup in front of Deruvid. It lets off a bit of a aromatic hearty scent that is pleasant enough that a few of the individuals that enter the bar start asking for the same thing.

Skyro gains inspiration, so may Vortrin

The Dwarf is pretty angry at having his dagger thrown and pants soiled. Cursing under his breath at the gnome he saunters over to the other end of the tavern away from the lot to retrieve his dagger and take a seat at another table amidst some laughter by some of the patrons at the tavern. He turns his back so that it faces towards the group, and orders a strong ale, and pays for it using the gold coin given to him earlier.

Outside of the tavern the smell of grass and wet mud mix together to give a pleasant reprieve from the odor of the dwarf's soiled pants. Exiting to the left would lead to the western part of town where as going towards the right you see some of the wooden buildings getting bigger, letting you know that you're on your way to the center of town.

A hunting guild is housed across the street from the tavern. The building is modestly decorated. It almost gives you off the impression that their hunting is meant more as a source of food than for trophies. Mixed in on the other side of the street are some homes meant for some townsfolk and some places for travelers to sleep for the night. The various floral decorations are just starting to sprout out of the various gardens and pots, with their growth being thwarted seemingly by the endless rain.
