The familiar rattle and clank of platemail can be heard long before the door bursts open. The wicked and twisted armor is never an easy sight in the morning, but you all know the man underneath and he bears no ill will. He immediately notices the new posting and clammors over to investigate. He reaches up to raise his visor as he shifts his weight uncomfortably.
You all know at this point that Ignot is not a fighting man, his body is so twisted its really a miracle he can stand at all. You all, also know to never speak a word of his weakness to anyone outside the warrens guard. The illusion of strength is one of his greatest weapons, as fear weakens the mind, and the mind is where Ignot fights like a champion.
He turns to face those that are still here, takes off his shield and rests his weight on it. Joy, I feel that Jimbli will still be by my side day in and out. Oh joy... It's hard to tell if he is serious or not.
Walks in and sees the new boards...and sees he's on a new team. He surveys the room, looking for his new teammates.
"I'm Malachai, but I reckon you can call me Mal." he says to Winnie, with a dip of his hat.
Without looking up from yet another knife, "Greetings, Janus I am."
Gotas walks in, looks at the board, and takes a seat without a word. Putting his hands with in the folds of his sleeves.
"A pleasure, Malachi. We were beginning to wonder if you were going to show, considering how long some people stay. I'm Wynnie."
"Son of a law man, Ma'am. I ain't leavin' 'less it's on a stretcher."
Wynnie flashes Malachai a smile, feeling a little less grim herself, "Glad to hear it! Probably should check if they've got some work for us soon."
"After you, ma'am."
He'll follow you to the boards to see what's been posted.
Graal stumbles in and up to the postings.
[b]Horay, more brain talking[b]
[i]He nudges Ingot jokingly before taking a seat next to Gotas[i]
Jimbli stumbles in as well... still buckling his belt, he nods a greeting with half a loaf of bread dangling from his mouth. "Hmmo ememummy." Once he his clothing is secure he shoots finger pistols at Malachai and waves at Ignot.
"Oooh the boards!" He blinks over and shimmy checks his belt hole choice while reading.
Wynnie turns to look to her teammates. "You two up for looking into some missing kids?" She lets it quickly become obvious which of the missions she finds most important.
Gotas gets up.
"I'll take the break in if no one objects."
He gives the sense of not really asking.
"Breaking and entering is my specialty. We'll take that assignment"
Gotas studies the drow.
"How so?"
He chuckles, which sounds like a spider laughing "You mean aside from the fact that I've be arrested four times for doing exactly that? Never while in the act of course, but afterwards. Its kinda the reason why I'm with this group. I got tired of getting arrested and then having to break out."
Gotas takes out a small journal and makes a quick note.
"I see. Good luck then. I guess that leaves me with the trolls, I wonder if I can capture and train one."
He speaks more to himself then anyone really.
"Trolls? Sure. No problem. Just let me make sure I packed my tindertwig." He looks over and up at Ignot. "Check."
"In fact you look like the type to wiggle some flame from yer fingers as well." Jimbli nods in approval.
"WE'RE TAKING THE TROLLS!"
He chuckles, which sounds like a spider laughing "You mean aside from the fact that I've be arrested four times for doing exactly that? Never while in the act of course, but afterwards. Its kinda the reason why I'm with this group. I got tired of getting arrested and then having to break out."
"Also, we're Drow. " mer adds
Aye, these drow bastards 've got less sense 'an most. Makes 'em pretty well-suited to this sorta thing. 'n I suppose I've got no more, seein' as how I'm still around with 'em. The dwarf gives a hearty smile as he speaks.

"Keep up the flattery and we may just put a little extra in your pay this month."
Kal looks slightly confused "Wait a sec, we pay this walking tin can? Cousin, are you high again on irradiated mushrooms??
Kal looks slightly confused "Wait a sec, we pay this walking tin can? Cousin, are you high again on irradiated mushrooms??
"Of course not, so we'll make it a percentage raise. And Irradiated mushrooms? Really? Such habits are for commoners."
I do love a good troll, Dumb as bricks, easy to manipulate. I'll say that's the one I'll have to most fun with.
He stows his shield and heads over to Shifty.
So any pointers to where there's troll trouble, or is it the type that will find us if we go looking?
Ignot rumbles over to Gotas.
If we play this right , we'll have a nice new pet to play with for sure. Now as you're the new guy in the group there's just one thing I need to know from you. Do you mind joining into a collective mind with the rest of the group? It's completely harmless, and I will allow you complete control so you may leave whenever you wish. It will benefit us all if you comply as it will allow telepathic communication as well as an easy way to keep you alive. The choice is yours of course.
He shifts his weight as he finishes obviously physically uncomfortable.
Gotas looks over at the big man.
"I do not intend on a pet."
With that it seems as if he is finished but speaks again.
"That may be a problem for you. I have an ability to read minds without a connection, having one may make that easier for me even if I do not intend. My own mind is a weapon so their is that to consider as well. If you understand I will accept."
Wynnie turns to look to her teammates. "You two up for looking into some missing kids?" She lets it quickly become obvious which of the missions she finds most important.
"Sounds good."
Wynnie turns to look to her teammates. "You two up for looking into some missing kids?" She lets it quickly become obvious which of the missions she finds most important.
Janus looks up "Certainly, better than sharpening all my knives again." He puts the knives away one by one, many of them disappearing into his clothing. You are pretty sure you have watched him store nearly two dozen knives on his person, of which you can see twenty.
Unit 2
Assent given by her teammates, Wynnie approaches Shifty-eye, "Is there anything else you can tell us about the kids before we head that way?"
Janus follows Wynnie, standing beside her and watching Shifty-eye.
