*He sits in the corner of the Scamp's Mug, a big candle in the middle of the worn out table. The light illuminates the surface of the blank page which he plans to fill. He dips the quill and writes slowly, trying to make it look nice.*
I finally saw the inside of the Leringard Arms Inn that is next to the Card Emporium. I never saw the door open or close and thought the building closed. But it turns out that Steel worked there.... or something that allows him to have a key. Several people came to listen to what Steel had to say about a job that he put out big posters about.
He lead us to the dining room which held many tables. These weren't the normal run down tavern tables, they were covered in a light red to pink table cloth with little candles in the center on each one. Keppli looked into the flames several times as if searching for an answer, her eyes bright and seem to sparkle as the flame danced on its wick. I like it better when she's focused on an object, it allows me to observe her without her knowing. It's pathetic, I know, but that's... just how I am.
She unfocused and looked away and up to Steel and his silver masked helm. I've never seen his face or the horns he's claimed he has, I'll have to ask him sooner or later... he doesn't seem to have it so I can accidently throw a rock to knock it off. I'm sure he'd have me by the ankles and dangle every stone that is hidden in my pockets since the first failed to work. *grins* But he got right to the subject of the meeting. It was about armies of dragons and men are storming Khul or something another and he wants to get answers about who's leading them or how to defeat them or... *he doesn't finish the sentence as he trails of in thought* But he says he wants to go into a dragon's lair in the Deep, not far from the emerald and mithril viens. That made my decision, I have never seen a dragon (drakes don't count) and I'm determined to see one. Keppli's coming along to see the dragon too, her excitement is another reason to go... someone's had to watch over her a least a
little bit even though she's a big girl and handle herself. Gork and a red-headed dwarf (obviously one of Vorax with his red hair and beard braided with white lace...) seem to underestimate us. *shrugs as he writes* I'm used to it and fine, I sort of expected people to think of us only as dragon food on this adventure... but I'll make sure Keppli isn't eaten and I think she'll do the same for me. But we'll show them. *grins and chuckles, thinking how Keppli and himself could possibly come out alive* She keeps saying we'll do fine and Rocky is coming as well to record the trip, he'll keep us out of trouble... maybe!
Steel said we may have to give the dragon gifts, I thought that if he already had everything, why would he accept anything else? But as I thought and figured, Gork had to suggested on offering the little ones, or refering to Keppli and me... I'm fine with that, not the being the gift, but on him underestimating us. As I wrote above, we'll be fine! Miss Tyra was there and didn't seem to think we could do well either... even though she's seen me fight a little, I'm sure the dragon would have a couple holes in his belly if he swallowed me whole! But I like Miss Tyra and won't hold her opinion agianst her, she's just really realistic. Of course I had to suggest offering a pie but no one seems to ever take that seriously. *shrugs* At least Keppli and me were on the same mind track, I'm sure a dragon wouldn't mind sharing a massive pie with a couple Halflings. But everyone that I know may be coming is Miss Alatriel, Keppli, Rocky, Chakar maybe Gork and Grohin (the Vorax dwarf), Abiorn, and Wren... Maybe Missus Elly since I told her about it too.
All I have to write about right now.
