Something dark...Something Elven...Something Friendly?

A dark elf cautiously enters the inn, weapons sheathed, looking around the room. Those who know him know him as Laggy. Those who don't know him have this really small window of time to try and kill the dark elven bastard before Esmerelda (and perhaps others) tries to stop you...

Esmerelda smiles as Laggy enteres the Inn.

"Welcome back, my friend! I take it you've resolved what you needed to and have returned to take me to the remains of the Woodhold army? Let me get you something to drink, as I'm sure the journey here was not an easy one."

She goes into the kitchen and returns with a mug of warm tea and some freshly baked biscuits.

"Thank-you," he says, taking the drink and food. "And yes, I'm ready if you are and whoever wants to come. We'll almost certainly run into opposition near Woodhold, but I feel confident I can find the safest route. Still, a sword might be warranted."

*trusk snoozes in a chair seated next to the door having been waiting till esmerelda was ready to depart, snoring loudly, his hammer leans agains the wall next to him hanging over his shield and his ax rests in its sheath aside his platemail armor*

"Well, the group I was planning on taking were Trusk," she gestures to the sleeping orc, "Rhul, Fionna, Atrum and myself. I'm sure the others should be along shortly.

"You know Atrum, Trusk is good with weapons, we jest that at times Rhul himself is a weapon, although he's very well spoken as well, and Fionna is a healer. So hopefully we should have all our bases covered in case of an emergency."

*Atrum walks in to the main room from a back room of the inn with his armor donned and a black backpack slung over one shoulder. Poking through the backpack and pockets making sure he has everything*

Laggy, it is good to see you. It's been much too long.

*Atrum crosses the room to shake hands with him*

Laggy shakes Atrum's hand and smiles broadly. "Much too long indeed. It'll be nice when all of this over," he says, referring to much more than the current expedition.

He turns back to Esmerelda, saying "It sounds like a solid group for the task and I'm glad at least one of us will be well rested."

Yes, yes it will. *Atrum says with a tinge of sadness* I don't know if it will ever be "over". But at the least, until people can return to their homes without one threat.

*Turns to Esmerelda with a stern look set on his face. He unsheaths one of his short swords and holds it out for her to take*

It'll make me feel better if you at least carry it on you. I have another for Fionna if need be. A group this small may be able to move easier through the woods, but we'll need every bit of steel possible if we do encounter a patrol or scavengers.

As she sees his hand going for the sword, a small smile crosses Esmerelda's face.

Silently she takes it from him without protest.

"I believe Fionna has her own. But we can check when she gets her. I wonder where she and Rhul are?"

*Walks in and sees Esmerleda and notices the group appears to be going somewhere. She nods politely at the visitor noticing everyone's ease with him present.*

Esmerelda, any instructions you'd like me to carry out while you are away?

Fionna · Post by **Fionna** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 4:36 pm

Fionna enters, covered in leaves and other woodly debris. She had been out gathering herbs for potions. Seeing what the group in the room is doing, she quickly understands what is going on.

"Esmerelda I am ready to go when ever you are. I just wanted to make sure I had plenty of potion ingredients on hand for the journey."

*trusk snorts, almost awakened by fionas entrance, than resumes his snoring.*

Laggy looks around the room and then says, "So we're just waiting for Rhul then? Fionna, any idea where he might be?"

Fionna · Post by **Fionna** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 8:44 am

Lately, he has been spending a lot of time tending a small herb garden in the House of Chance. I'm sure he'll be here shortly.

Rhul · Post by **Rhul** » Wed Mar 11, 2009 3:34 pm

The door to the inn opens and shuts quietly behind Fionna as she speaks.

"Ahhh" he chuckles, "My prodigious ears are burning. What luck, here I had decided to come to the inn to inquire about the trip to the Woodhold remnants, and I find everyone waiting upon me for that very thing!

*he looks around the group with a questioning eye*

I take it we are leaving presently? I'm afraid I don't have my things, as I didn't expect to be leaving at the moment, but it would be a simple matter to get some travelling items from the Keep and join up with you on the outskirts of Firach Aien.

So by all means, if you were waiting upon my arrival, we can leave at your leasure."
