(15) The One-Eyed Cat (Tavern)

[OGRE MAGE]

Thanks for letting Gyb squirm for a while before bailing him out.

The expression on the face of Wilf changes dramatically once Loyn steps up to the bar.

"Oh, Loyn, son of Groyn. Good to see you back so soon, friend. Are you saying that this vagabond is telling me the truth? That your group found these coins like this? And kobolds are the culprits? Well, that is good news for your friend Jib here."

He looks over one of the painted coins again, flipping it up into the air with his thumb before catching it and slapping it down hard on the bar top.

"I suggest you stop to think about your actions before trying to pawn off lesser coin. Didn't anyone think to clean these off before you came in here?"

He sets Loyn and Gyb up with an ale and a bowl of stew. "You might want to ask Mouse for a wire brush and some solvent to remove this paint. Don't try to trick that little thief with these either. He can smell a scam a mile away, that one."

“You’re right Wilf, we will do that. Although, I was thinking more of a bath, than the coins! Those rotten little kobolds got me good, very crafty creatures they are!” He thanks Wilf and leaves “real”money on the bar. He says to Gyb,“I have a few errands to make, I’ll catch up with you later.”….Groyn heads to the baker.

Keya waits for Jess and orders a ale and asks her.

"Is there a encampment or area where there is a grouping of elves? I would like to talk to them, if there is. Or perhaps a Elven religious leader?"

Jess smiles at the pius ranger, handing him his drink. "Elves? No, I don't think there are many who live in these parts. If there are any groups, I never heard of them. We get a few half-elves through here once in a while, but the elves don't come around much. Probably because dwarves built this castle. You know you racist those two factions can get."

She smiles again, waiting for payment. "Why do you want to talk with the elves, anyway?"

"my father was an elf and her died here 20 some years ago. Just trying to find anything about him. That's all.

[OGRE MAGE]

Jess looks slightly taken aback.

“Oh, I see. I hope this doesn’t sound morbid, but lots of people have died around these parts over the years. It’s almost creepy if you really think about it. This is a tough area of the Borderlands, and folks been coming here for years…… If the wilderness don’t get ya, something from those yonder caves will.”

“Oh sorry…….what was your fathers name? Maybe someone here remembers him. Was he……..memorable in some way?”

“Oh sorry…….what was your fathers name? Maybe someone here remembers him. Was he……..memorable in some way?”[/dialog]

"No I understand, it's what it was. He was a Elven sword and bowman named Andraen Irune, he ran with a group called the 'Green Eyed Cats. Not quite 20 years ago, also I hear he was very handsome.

Keya Redd

[OGRE MAGE]

Jess laughs. "Oh, so he looked like you then?" She says this with a wink and a smile.

"I have never heard of him......or the Green Eyed Cats, but I think that's a pretty neat name."

She thinks a little longer before continuing. "I wonder if some of the folks who were around here then would remember. Did you ask anyone else? Wilf or maybe Old Moseley at the mercantile?"

[ateno]

Jess laughs. " Did you ask anyone else? Wilf or maybe Old Moseley at the mercantile?"

Keya, embarrassed, cant help his face to redden about her comment.

Straightening himself he says. "No I have not, I figured there might have made a memory here, given the name of the Tavern.

Wilf would accept a question, I suppose I could afford one more ale. And where is the mercantile?"

When she responds, he will excuse himself and go to the bar for a refill and when Wilf returns, "Jess told me I should ask you about my father, you must hear 100's of these. He was a Elven sword and bowman named Andraen Irune, he ran with a group called the 'Green Eyed Cats. Not quite 20 years ago?"

Keya waits hopefully.

Jess points out where the Quartermaster supply store is before Wilf answers the question presented to him.

"Green Eyed Cats you say? Hmmmmmm.......Well, it was a long time ago, but I think I do remember a minstrel group who called themselves that. Or was it the Stray Cats? I can't remember for sure."

He pours another ale.

"I am sorry but I don't remember your father's name either. But you are correct. I get questions like that all the time here."

"I have always thought it was neat when an adventuring party gave themselves a name like that though. Do you know why they chose such a name? Did they all have green eyes? Did they have a cat as their mascot?"

"Does your group have a cool name yet?"

"I believe that the shield of the leader was 'Argent, a domestic cats head cabossed sable with eyes vert'. So there you go. As to your second question, I din;t even know if we are a group.

Keya Redd

[OGRE MAGE]

Wilf thinks about it for a while longer.

"Sorry friend, but that's just not ringing a bell in my old brain. We don't see a lot of elves in these parts, so I'm not even sure who I could direct you to here at the Keep. Have you tried asking old Moseley yet? He was around back then too. Maybe he remembers their group better than I."

[Monsieur Rose]

Bugs

The Gnome saunters in, looking for his companions. He spots Keya and walks up. "Heya Keya. I need your help, ranger-wise. It seems my Da and his friend didn't come home last night and I promised to go look for them. I was hoping you could come to track things and stuff. I think Rida was willing to help too."

IF anyone else is in the tavern, he'll ask them as well.

[Rex]

Rida

Rida will join in to help.

[ateno]

"I suppose Mosley can wait, I can help, what's going on. Where do we need to go?

Keya Redd

[Monsieur Rose]

Bugs

"The family said they usually go to their favorite place. Just past the river bend. Oh! And something about foraging for mushrooms and also gnolls nearby."

Bugs tries to recount the information he got while surrounded by children and crying wives.

"Thanks Rida. Is there anyone else around? I know Crabgrass is a bit tired and needs to stay put. Anyone see Gyb or Haldric?"

[Jernau35]

Gyb

Gyb rushes into the tavern. "Mr Wilf! Look!" He holds out a handful of bright coins. "You were right! Mouse helped Gyb to clean them all up. Not just clean, but shiny" Gyb picks one out for inspection.

At the mention of his name, Gyb turns around. "Yes? Gyb is here. Ah, Bugs! You need Gyb?"

[Monsieur Rose]

Bugs

"Yes! Gyb! The gang's coming together. I need some help going on a rescue mission to the river. Are you up for it? Maybe we could go fishing while we're there. Gyb fishes, right?"

Bugs is feeling more and more confident about this trip.

[OGRE MAGE]

Bugs continues to gather up friends willing to go back outside and look around the area of the river to see if they can find his missing eclectic father.
