Dungeons and Dragons Game Thread: Eastern Storm Rising Part II

Started by Fire7 pages

No signs to be found so I suppose you ask someone. he gives you directions to another inn called the Inn of Stone. It's in a more wealthy district of town. After about a 15 minute walk you arrive at what once was a warehouse. As you open the door you see a long bar behind you flanked by two staircases. To the left and the right of the room there are small boots for private conversations. From the door till the bar there are about 20 tables. Most of which are filled by Dwarves and Humans.

The man looks over his shoulder and says: "My name is Merthand"
You open the small door, which is just too small for you, so you crunch down slightly. Behind the door there is a staircase (3 stairs) the floor is low enough for humans to walk around in this place without having to crunch all the time.
The walls are covered with a warm brown wood. There is a brick fire place to the left. to the right is the bar, human size btw. There are about 4 round tables each with chairs, two for human-sized creatures and two for little folk. There is one halfling with black hair standing behind the bar. a Halfling and a gnome sit at the far right table enjoying a meal.
When you ask for Tom or Tim at the bar the Halfling says: "I'm Tim nice to meet you"

"Hi, Tim. Merthand says hi... Can I stay the night here? I'm kind of traveling around..."

"Hi!" *He waves enthusastic at you* "Tom Merthand said hi": he screams to an open door behind the bar.
-voice from the other room- "Oh Cool!"
"So you want a room, you also want some food? and a decent room or a place on the floor by the fire?"

"Uh what? Yeah, I guess. I'm kind of tired...some food and a nice bed should do it. Thanks." Elen puts his stuff down on a table and sits at it, waiting for food. He looks around to the other people in the tavern.

Seems quiet today, besides the Halfling and the Gnome at the far back table there is noone there. They're speaking in Halfling so you can't make much out of it.

A few minutes later you hear the squicking of small wheels. When you look behind you, you see a Halfling pushing a ladder on wheels in your direction, with a plate of hot food on top. When he arrives at your table he climbs the ladder and hands you the plate. "There ya go" It seems like grilled fish and veggies. "If there is anything else you need let me know, Oh by the way you can stay in Room three. Just take that door (he points to a door on the opposite wall as the one you entered from) and then take your number. Bye!"

"You Tom?" Elen asks when receiving his meal. "Thanks! I'm so hungry..." And he starts eating furiously. He takes note of the door, and tries his best to remember 'room 3, room 3'. He sits and finishes the rest of his meal, goes up to the bartender, and quietly asks who the halfling and gnome are.

"Yea I'm Tom!"
When you reach the bar both of the brothers are behind it, argueing about something in Halfling.
"Oh, Well I know the Gnome his name is Marius, I do not know the other one I am afraid. Marius runs a small shop that mostly deals in pottery."

"Oh...what's pottery? Nevermind... How much do I owe you for the food and room and everything? I think I'm gonna go to sleep now..." He pays whatever they tell him to and goes through the door and up to bed.

"We'll take care of that tomorrow Elen."

*At that time a giant thunderstorm breaks lose over the city. Everyone is fleeing to a tavern or to their homes*

Sarwyn it's going to be raining like this for atleast two days.

As Sarwyn starts running, she yells to the rest: "Guys, I' ll take shelter in the Joyful Halfling."

"Ok, pay tomorrow." He goes up to bed and then the thunderstorms start, and he gets scared and runs down to Tim and Tom to see what he should do.

About 10 people have already gathered in the inn Elen. 7 Human commoners, 2 Dwarves wearing armour and bearing arms and 1 elf wearing a long green tunic. There is a lot of commotion and a lot of noise. You see Tim and Tom running around like crazy trying to serve and help them all. On the floor there are big pools of water and drinks.
Then the door flies open and in walks a woman, just under five feet tall, not too attractive but a very athletic build. She carries a longbow and a longsword and is dressed in a leather suit.
You see Tim rushing towards her and they both exchange what looks like a warm greeting in gnome.
Then when things have cooled down a bit the door is opened again.
A grey-eyed man walks into the room dressed in a samurai outfit. His armour seems to be layered with Bronze and it is ornamented with golden symbols. When you look closer you can make out a lion.
He waves over Tom, when Tom arrives he bows and says, in very decent Merchants Tongue with a soft and and pretty loud voice, "I am Yasumoto Matsu of the Lion Clan."

Right I'm back. Can anyone give me the gist of what i missed?

Kan walked over to the bar.

"Your finest ale please" he said, though he was now rich enough to buy everyone in the room several rounds and then some he wasn't going to. He wasn't even going to buy his companions anything. It was his money and it would stay his.

"Very well sir, here ya go That'll be 2 silver pieces!"

Kan walked over to a table and put his feet up on it, slouching back into a chair and taking a swill of ale

"Tim, could I have a bowl of stew and a chunk of bread please?"
Sarwyn turned around, let her eyes travel all over the tavern and her glance lingered on the stranger in samurai outfit.

"Yes Sarwyn."

The samurai just looks up as your glance falls upon him Sarwyn, a small cut runs diagonally across his face. He gently smiles, closes his eyes and bows his head slightly.

Update... Anyone?

"Yasumoto Matsu, he says," Ander mutters to himself, "Lion Clan, pesh. Never met the Furthride, true."

Pushing himself up from his seat, he walks over to the bar, and orders an ale from one of the barmen. Hearing Sarwyn's comment, he adds,
"And a stew too, Tom. My thanks."
