Before and Inbetween games-game!
Valens day, First day of the sixth moon.
Summer is at its highest, and even do the sun is only half way up the eastern sky the heat in Eelsbridge is near unbearable.
It would seem like what IÔÇÖm about to tell you is the start of an adventure, one of those tales dwarfs entertain their younglings and each other at the great feasts.
It starts, as it so often do, at an inn.
The Netted Serpent was dim and chilled even in the scorching heat of the day, but it was unusually few people for such a day. Maybe it was the early hour, only two tables were occupied. At one sits an elderly couple with a warm stew and mugs of ale. At the other, well at the other sits a far more intriguing figure, a man that stands out, and would probably do so even if the inn was full. Sitting in his armor he is bend over stacks upon stacks of paper, scrolls, maps, letters and books. One letter in hand he reads it again and again Wagon got that horses yes yes, two fast and one strong. Food, torches, javelins yes. And then the chest hmm oh yes, and lanterns, they are there too.. hmm. That should be all hmm.. yes Boy! He says aloud and shortly after a young teenage boy comes running from the kitchen, looking at the man yes sir?  here you go lad, five copper as agreed, would you be so kind as to return the items to the guild. I got what I needed from them  right away sir the boy says and starts collecting all the paper, books and others. Then hurries out the door with it.
As the boy runs out the door two other characters enter, one seems to be a musician of some sort, maybe a bard, the other also carries an instrument, but something about his posture says that he is more of a disciplined person than the first. They look around and spots the man reading his letter again.
Suddenly a stumping starts coming down the stairs, a man no a dwarf of unusual height maybe? Moves into the dining area and gets eye contact with the inn keeper who points in the same direction as the two newcomers just looked, as the dwarf sees the reading man he looks back to the innkeeper who nods, hands him four mugs of ale and then goes back to his business.
Lastly, a man in scale mail enters the inn, battle axe over his shoulder he looks around and spots all the people in the inn. After he enters the inn keeper looks up, and with a shrug of his shoulder takes another mug of ale and goes down to place it at the readers table.
The sudden movement awakens the readerÔÇÖs attention and he looks up, noticing the others.
Have at it guys and gals!!!
