| The Agent |
The evening began as many do, in the smoke filled common room of the Dog-N-Bone. A lone Elf known only as Valmaris sat in a booth sipping wine and scanning the room his intentions unknown. A pair of Double-Chin clan dwarves Dren and Chen-Chan claimed a pair of stools at the main bar and were scheming to get as much free beer as they could. In the rafters above the Owl-man Icirus sat watching all that transpired. A large booth in the back of the room held a party celebrating the safe return of their friend and cohort.
Sliish raised his cup and looked around the table, "I raish this toasht in honor of all of thosh preshent and abshent who rishked both life and limb to shave me from the horrors of Blackmasrsh!"
Rook, Mr. White, and Damorra all nodded in agreement with Sliish raising their cups, "Here, here!" they cried out! "To friends rescued and deaths cheated!"
Suddenly the entire room was bathed in an eerie green light and everyone was overcome with a numbing paralysis. Which has since been put down to someone having slipped Carrion crawler juice into the batch of house ale that was brewed earlier that day. Probably one of those dwarves.
Now there are many varied accounts about what happened that night in the Dog-n-Bone, and most folks will tell you that a bunch of those adventurous types got to carousing so hard they damn near demolished every bit of furniture in the establishment, as well as a bit of damage done in the town square as well.
However, if you to listen to the rumors. Or if you are able to fill quite a few pitchers of ale amongst any of those named above, well then a whole other tale might be told.
Yes sir, little half-formed big headed goonies from the sky, Demons shooting out of wine bottles, a giant Cat headed tentacle beast with feet made of stone and whole lot of other complete nonsense!
What I can tell you for certain is nobody has seen hide nor beard of those Double-Chin boys and a lot of beer went missing too! The Owl-man is gone as well, though he has a penchant for going missing for long stretches and then just popping up again out of nowhere. The Elf was a new comer around here and he seems to have disappeared. So who can say if he had a hand in anything or not, but knowing elves he probably did. As for Rook and his crew, well they spent the last few days purchasing all sorts of supplies and hired the Viking Voyages boys to fly them down south someplace. That right there tells you all you need to know I think. They say when you need to lay low you head south... well I'm just saying. That whole gang took off south quick as they could after the shenanigans of that night.
Oh yeah, and one more thing lot's of us in there that night, myself included. Well we can't quite remember what happened exactly. But we all ended up with an odd little puncture wound on an arm or leg or well, the bum!
So uh, you need any hirelings for an expedition? I may know some guys looking for coin? I could use a refill too....
More adventures coming soon!
