The realm you find yourself in is the Kingdom of Val Rikur. It has humans, elves, half-elves, dwarfs, and assorted others from other kingdoms who have immigrated to this land as subjects. The stage starts in the small farmer's market town of Belholt. The town itself is the home of Baron Turston Howell the First. On weekends farmers and merchants come from miles around to occupy the fairground, set up tents and trade. The only tavern in town is the Mighty Elk Tavern and Inn.
The tavern is a two story building that is L shaped. the entire upstairs is lodging rooms for rent. The long part of of the down stairs is lined with long tables for serving food and drink. The short part of the L as best you can guess is the kitchen and residence for the innkeep Bran and his wife Bambi.
The time is mid morning. The place is already clear of most locals. Near the fire is a hooded figure plucking away at an instrument. It is a well known song about a Bear and a Maiden, but the musician is only playing the tune and not singing the words. Two humans are seated on different tables having walked in a few minutes ago and are waiting to be served. A young looking half elf is leaning on the bar taking a survey of the scene. Another half elf in hide armor with a great sword strapped to his back is looking out the front window. A dragonborn in scale armor has walked through the front door followed moments later by a human child of maybe 10 years of age who takes a peice of parchment out of his sack with a hammer and a nail and proceeds to hammer the paper to a center post that has other fliers hanging from it.
The boy speaks "Hear ye, hear ye. My master is looking for brave and strong professionals to complete a task. Pay is good." He awkwardly points to the flier as if he had rehearsed the presentation of the flier earlier and not very well, then he leaves.
Bran is cleaning plates in a bucket behind the bar. A woman roughly middle age, but attractive says "Latecomers eh? Who's hungry for some grub?"
And go.
Rules of posting:
Dialog should be bolded.
Out of combat, just do actions in a narrative form as you see in this post with the boy, bran, the barmaid.
If a roll is needed but aren't sure feel free to ask. You can mark out of character comments in brackets like this [OOC: Did Joun just make a GOT reference with that bardthing?]
When we get to combat I'll explain that in greater detail. If we need an OOC thread we can make one, but don't have to do so I think if people use the OOC brackets.
