Fleur watched the newcomers discreetly from one side of the tavern, her back to the wall. It was one of the easier habits to pick up, and it kept people from sneaking up from behind her. And it allowed her to keep an eye on everyone else. It made good practice for lip reading.
But the arrival of the strange pathwork horseman made everyone's heads turn away from her, much to her annoyance. And the horseman's mummbling, combined with that..face, proved difficult to read. She caught 'master', and gave up. People will lose interest soon enough.
(Posting as Evan from this account.)
"'Fraid not, friend," Evan says helpfully from behind the tall orc. "But I'm sure the dartboard will never forget your time together."
Evan turns to Richard. "I know better than to throw my money away. I suppose I could shoot the bullseye, but that might make it hard to play again."
Evan turns back to the barkeep and orders a turkey leg to munch on, suddenly feeling peckish. The tavern was beginning to get a different feel than he'd expected, and Evan marveled over the random assortment of characters that had made their way here. Wonder what my chances are.
Annoyed at the stupid throwing game, Karg snorts his disapproval and sits back down. He notices that at the table next to him is the human woman Fleur who glances his way.
"You tough look'n for human woman. You have good choice in weapon too. Falcion good weapon! You also here for work?"
Concentrating intently, Niko gives the darts his best run but ruefully shakes his head after. "Seems like i don't have a knack with these.."
I noticed your character sheet looks like it is from Hero Lab. Is there a gestalt option somewhere on it? I can't find one. Or did you have to custom build the class?
Thanks

"Not a bad go of it." Schmitty raises his mug in a little courtesy to Niko before taking yet another swig.
Richard laughs, inclusively.
"Nice try, Niko." He makes sure Niko's mug gets filled. He calls out after Karg, "Hey, you forgot your drink. I won't buy your supper, but this mug is on me just for playing." He goes and collects the darts, sees the hole Karg punched, and grins.
Meanwhile, Moneta has ordered a roast leg of fowl. "I don't think Richard there has actually had to buy anyone supper tonight." She inclines her head to Karg as he walks by. "Gorum's strength is clearly a blessing you use.". She draws the light gesture of the Lord in Iron in the air between them.
Now that you've got a clearer look at them, and have seen her face as she speaks, the woman in the gray cloak's fingertips look like bits of metal are protruding from them...and her teeth look like they're in the process of transforming to chromed steel.
"How about this." Any of the unattended darts and the ones in Schmitty's hand proceed to float slowly, but surely to the bullseye of the dart board. ALL of them are in the bullseye.
Schmitty Smiles ruefully, takes a swig, then attention averthing yet again says "So anyone know who this alleged contact is? Dart's are fun, but I'm not overly interested in any game where I don't have an unfair advantage." Schmitty jests (maybe?)
Niko takes the drink with a half smile and a nod, then turns at the Half-orc loud Work comments.
"Thats what i'm here hoping for, big guy. Work. Don't much care what it is at this point.
Still holding his mug, he rubs idly at the burn on the left side of his face, perhaps an unconcious gesture. He sizes up karg, perhaps unknowingly being a bit too obvious, or looking too long.
Fleur glanced at the blade lying beneath the table, just in reach. It would have been hard to spot where it was. "It's an old sword." Fleur chuckled. "Waiting on a good job myself." Deaf as she was, it came out louder than it should have, and carried over the general tavern bustle.

Unfazed by the loudness of the reply, Karg asks, "You live in this town?"

Evan eagerly eats his delicious turkey leg as he walks over towards Niko. In between bites, and making sure to chew with his mouth closed, he asks, "So how did you find out about the potential work here?" Evan does his best not to look at the burns on the side of Niko's face, having already figured out the man is self-conscious about it.

Niko will blink a few times, then slowly turn to look at him. "Word of mouth really. Friend of a friend of an acquaintance who heard something."
He shrugs slightly, another half smile. He glances at the door when it opens again, looking for a moment almost worried but it quickly fades.

Evan nods. "Same for me, I guess. Well, more like a tip as payment for a job well done. Guy wanted me to find out if his daughter's new beau is anyone to worry about. He isn't."
Glancing over at the loud orc, the strange couple playing darts, the halfling and his 'friend', and the mongrelman, Evan says quietly to Niko, "Ya think they're gonna want all of us? What ... sort of job could all of us together possibly do?"

"caravan guard? shipment delivery? smuggling? thuggery?"
Niko will shrug slightly, and take a sip of his drink.
Mutt, who has been watching the people in the room with a particular interest in the dartboard, turns to the lizard he walked in with, "Leggs, what game that?"
The lizard replies back, "It's darts. I think you're supposed to hit the center there."
"Can use magic...like short man?"
Mutt casts a spell for each dart but the last, making it land exactly on the bullseye. Content with his results, he tries the last one without magic. He picks the dart up with a delicate elven left hand and throws.
It's a solid hit on the dart board, which seems to have taken more of an impact than when the half-orc had a throw. "Mutt like game...Hope new master like game."
"That's a fun trick. I have that recipie too. It's very useful. Are you a student of the arcane too?" Schmitty asks Wide eyed, only now seeing the mongrelman's odd features. Schmitty's expression gets momentarily warry, but he doesn't step away. "Are you sick or something?" Realizing his Fau paux Schmitty stammers "I mean, not to be rude or nothing. I've just never seen... I mean someone like you. " Schmitty forces an awkward smile at the mongrelman
"Arc...arc...that magic? Old master...old master good magic...No teach Mutt. Mutt teach Mutt. Old master say Mutt armor...Mutt armor not good magic." The mongrelman keeps stammering out words. "Mutt not sick...Mutt sad...Old master no wake...No breathe...Mutt need new master."The lizard creature interjects, "It's not that Mutt's a bad bodyguard, it's just...well, he can't keep watch all night." It seems to be covering for Mutt being a bodyguard whose master died.
Looking at the well spoken lizard creature
"You must be like Chavi. Like a familiar, but not a familiar. Is that right?"

There you are. I was hoping to get Siarc in this, but you failed to post at all during the "get to know the PC's" discussion.
Better luck next time. Take care and good gaming.

Oh I did not post on purpose I do not RP in the recruitment thread. I have seen to many issues with it so I just stay out of it.
