The War and the Wilds Campaign

A Party to Remember

Faelen

A large, fortress-like bastion of dwarves made metal and wood from the sturdy forest nearby. Towering buildings sprawling throughout shadow the residents like a net of safety. Dwarves patrols are making their rounds and jovially talking about the current rabble around town.

"Ey, d'you hear about the elf running around cause trouble? Word is that his family lives here too, and from what it seems he's doing everyone's dirty work to make quick bucks."

"Well that'll be a sight to see if it were true. An elf in a dwarven territory, 'elping out aaall the dwarves and common folk in the city? If I were any dumber I'd say that I'd let him take a shot at being a soldier if he wants to help"

"Aye,"

A moment passes when a sudden but firm figure walks to the Raining Tap inn. Focused and precise with each movement as if on a mission. His eyes darting like a dragonfly and legs gliding like a hummingbird as this human cloaked in dark leathers goes into the inn. Opening the doors to a very lively tavern bearing a few...drunk but annoying patrons and workers.

The causes to these patrons being slightly on edge is solely attributed to this vibrant, figure dances on a table. His dance not one of elegance or grace, but one of drunken madness and troubled times.

" How about another round for a genuine savior? I've done more for this town than these angry stacks of mead has done in a while."

Cloaked and shadowed, the human sees fit to check the bounty board in the inn to see if anything he sees spikes the strange intrigue of his friend. There's a couple of posts one of a stray cat gone missing written hastily but good enough to be read. Another of a local wizard wishing to have adventures able to lift large things to meet him in the woods.

But one does seem strange as in the lower corner written in font that looks to be small bones that read "Colossasseum". In small but noticable text below in very faint ink states "(Colossal Colosseum)".

" Im just sayin' that the elves are just better, plain and simple! "

The drinking elf prances table to table while shouting whole heartedly about his beliefs

" That's it, you elf are getting out of here!"

The main dwarf working the bar furiously shouts back in response to this nonsense talked about his people and the state of affairs in Tevira.

" Wait."

The Cloaked human speaks softly but dominant in his ways and holds himself high above the others he talks to.

" He's with me if you want him to leave."

Both the elf and the dwarf in a similar titled nod of confusion

" What!?"

Both voices are heard aloud and and bar stutters to a quiet murmur.

" Dwarf, a lemon water please. Elf, you know where this is?"

The dwarf, not knowing who is demanding this but he nods and with a short delay has it prepared. The elf on the one hand is very stuffed by this gesture and looks at the paper of the Colossasseum.

" Yeah of course I do, wadya want some sort of tour?"

"No."

As he receives his order he without a thought throws the water in the elves face. This notion sobers him up enough to pay attention.

" I want a guide to take me there. You want to gain traveling stories and coin I'm guessing?"

A moment passes as everyone processes what's happening except the cloaked human. The half-elf hops down almost falling and catching a bench to the top row of his teeth.

" You're right.....whoever you are "

" Cain. "

He leaves while motioning the other to follow him out while leaving a few silver on the table. Hurriedly the Half elf catches up to walk at his side heading out of the tavern

" Since we'll be traveling together my name is Elas. That's also the name you'll be addressing my payment to "

" Spoken like a true hand for hire Elas. Where's your cart then? "

" Back at MacReady's, come on let's go shake him down for it"

Elas sighs a little while jumping ahead to lead Cain. Cain has a look of interest mixed with hints of doubt and regret and he follows at his own pace.
