[Entering the tavern near the center of the town [Twisted Dagger] a cloaked and hooded figure enters, the door of the tavern creaking as the figure enters. As the figure enters the patrons near the door stop what they're doing temporarily and eye the hooded figure as they step in before returning to what they were doing before. The hooded figure walks up to the tavern keeper and asks]:
Hooded Figure: How much for a Room? [The Hooded Figure looks at the Tavern Keeper; The Tavern Keeper is a seemingly older looking Orc with scars across his face and a palish green hue to his skin with one prominent scar across the bridge of his nose in a diagonal pattern]
Tavern Keeper: That'll be 1 Gold. Room, Food and Such are provided at that price.
Hooded Figure: Room for two nights. [The Hooded Figure throws down 2 Gold on the counter]
Tavern Keeper: [Grabs the 2 Gold and hands the hooded figure a key with a tag on it that read 9] Room 9, top floor farthest room on the right. Grab a seat and the bar wench will be with you shortly [The Tavern Keep waves off the hooded figure before turning around and throwing a seemingly damp down on his shoulder and walking away]
[The hooded figure finds an empty table in the far right corner and sits down as he pulls back his hood revealing a set of horns. The now un-hooded figure then leans into his chair and surveys his surroundings.]
un-Hooded Figure: Lots of adventurers and miscreants [He mutters to himself][A voice echoes in his head; Sultry...Seductive yet, calming and reassuring][The un-Hooded-Figure closes his eyes]
Mysterious Voice: We are close, my child, the pained cry of retribution and vengeance echoes through the winds...Your charge is near.
un-Hooded Figure: Where Mistress...All I see are Vagabonds, Miscreants and malcontents [The un-Hooded-Figure whispers]
Mysterious Voice: You'll see in due time my child [The Voice fades as the un-Hooded Figure opens his eyes]
Bar Wench: What can I- Oh...Another Tiefling thank the maker.
un-Hooded Figure: [Opens his eyes and looks up at the Bar Wench and sees a purple skinned Tiefling woman, roughly around the age of 20-ish, her horns spreading in a V shape tapering near the back of her head, her eyes a brilliant ruby red, and her hair a jet black] You look surprised at seeing another Tiefling, are we that rare around here?
Bar Wench: Well, as handsome and dashing as you...Yes [She blushes, her light violet cheeks turning rosy] And, kind of...Many folks have a distrust of our kind you know...horns and all.
Mysterious Voice: Ooooh, has my child an interest in this girl? She is quite the beauty no? [The Voice says as if examining the Bar Wench]
un-Hooded Figure: Perhaps [The un-Hooded-Figure replies in his mind]
un-Hooded Figure: [Stares closer at the Bar Wench and seeing her somewhat small frame and her beautiful horns, the un-hooded figure gives a slight grin] I am all too aware...A pint of your house special then my dear.
Bar Wench: Right away uh...[She bites her lower lip before dashing back to the bar]
un-Hooded Figure: [Continues to survey his surroundings. He sees that this tavern employs up to 4 bar wenches]
Bar Wench: Here you are, a pint of the Tavern House Special Ale Sir... [She says and stops not knowing what to call the figure]
un-Hooded Figure: [Looks down at the pint of ale and back up to the bar wench] Timaeus Gilnea Alneas, but you may call me Trigger if that is too long.
