She takes a liking to the studded leather armor outfit,
”How much in exchange for what I have, I also want it fitted and this motif placed on the left breast.”
She hands him a scrap on vellum with her clans icon on it.

"That will take a bit of work," he says in elvish. "But it can be done for 20 silver and your exchange."

Van Vynolis |

DM, I believe that Dubhan and I have worked a modification to our backgrounds that allow us to be tied together, being that's the case (i'll update my background later) I believe I can bring him in now.
After purchasing the piece of jewelry Van stepped outside of the shop and spots a dark-skinned Hin looking individual riding a tiger that he is pretty sure is his old friend Dubhán and calls out to him. "Hey Dubhán! What are the odds of us seeing each other here!"

Thanks for tying Van and Dubhan together. Dubhan's player is very big on connections between his PC and others. We wouldn't hear the end of it, and all I could do is offer suggestions on where to start.

Dubhán |

OCC: Yeah I am very big on role playing as that is what the game is supposed to be all about, is it not? Further, I concur it was nice of Van's player to extend the proverbial olive branch so that some role playing reason could be implemented to bring potentially complete strangers together for some quality role playing reason.
Dubhán heard someone call out his name and being a bit surprised he looks about to see who it might be, as he was not expecting to encounter anyone here that he knew or knew him. He spotted the human that had called out his name, and then recognition slowly seeped in which then made the words they had spoken make sense. "Well I will be, yes a most unlikely event, but not necessarily a bad one. So what brings you here, are striving to begin adventuring again as you wanted to do previously?"

Van Vynolis |

Van smiles at the sight of Dubhan but then he sighs as he recalls exactly why he is now here, "It's bittersweet Dubhan. My parents have, were... well, they've met their end on a mission for the church.
Without them holding me back, yes, my taste for adventure can now be satisfied.
I miss them, every day. They were too protective of my well being".
A hand goes to Van's neck, where Dubhan can see a recent wound was healed, "Though after my first real taste of battle, I can understand their apprehension in my seeking this adventurous life.
We are headed to the Keep on the Borderlands, some new companions of mine and I. What about you, what led you here since last we parted?"

Lirillith hears Taff making excited sounds, she leaves the armor maker to finish the work for her. And heads outside, Taff is looking down the street and following his line of sight she sees a Tiger with Rider talking to Van.
Elveish "Hold now Taff, its just a friend of Vans. Look if you want to meet the tiger that bad, Ill take you over there. "
She unites the big Black War car, and walks him over to the pear.
Elveish "Ho! Van, Taff wants to meet your friends Tiger."
She nods at the new commer.

Dubhán |

So...
needle pulling thread. La...
"Well Van, my condolensces as to your parents, but they are not completely gone, just in a different place and you may meet up with them again some day."
With the arrival of another large cat, Dubhán strokes the shoulder of his to reassure it that all is okay.
Knowledge(Nature): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
He looks at the unusual cat as he has not seen such an animal before and than asks the Elf, "May I ask what manner of animal that is, for I have not seen one such as that in my travels?"
When the other humanoid with Ork and Human heritage introduces themselves, Dubhán smiles and nods back, "Pleasure to meet you, I am Dubhán. May I assume you are an acquaintance of Van?" He gestures towards Van.

Dubhán |

OCC: Hey not sure if you all aware but Pathfinder 1e has racial names and no longer uses the derogatory names that are akin to calling something a half-breed (or basically a deplorable lesser race) the Human/Ork mix is called Dromaar and the Elf/Human mix is called Aiuvarin. However, I do not think they fixed the half-ling racial derogatory name but then DnD2e's official name for that race was Hin not half-a-ling and just keep in mind calling them that per DnD2e marked the individual as being unintelligent by the Hin and worthy of exploiting. I mean the Hin would point to the fact that the individual does not even know what a Ling is thus have no idea what they are saying when they call them half of one especially when they are obviously not half of anything but fully Hin which is obviously a much superior race than the Humans that typically label them half of something they have no clue what it is they are supposed to be half of.

Hedrak |

I was not aware no - did you mean PF2e? In any case I am ok with Hedrak being an half-orc :) I was also looking in Wikipedia (for what it's worth), and isn't halfling 'a word used to describe a boy or girl who is not yet fully grown; a youth, an adolescent, and formerly sometimes a boy or young man employed in a junior role in domestic, agricultural, or industrial work'?

Lirillith Gillantian |

He looks at the unusual cat as he has not seen such an animal before and than asks the Elf, "May I ask what manner of animal that is, for I have not seen one such as that in my travels?"
Taff is much bigger build than a normal Panther, as per his Hefty Brute trait. So he counts as large for most things
A smile of wrath crosses her face as she looks at the Fae. Glad that he asked.
Elvish: "Master Fae, he is War-Panther 'Taff' or as he likes to call himself, Taff of the shadowcat Tribe."
She scratches Taff behind his ears, and he looks back at her. They seem to have a tight bond. And he seems unfazed by the other lare Cat.
"Yes, happy too, I was told long ago a hero of my tribe came back from the south with twelve as war prizes. And we have breed them ever since, we grow up with them as friends, and are often called the "Black Cat Elfs" because of it. They are excellent hunting mounts, can be as silent as a mouse and as fast as a horse. I have known Taff here scene he was a Cub. "
She scratched Taff some more as she waits for Hedrak and Dubhán finishes there conversation before asking.
Kn Nature 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
"Master Dubhán may I ask after you mount, She looks like she likes to hunt as well?"
She then does the oddest thing and talks to Áedbriíg directly in cat.
"Muwww gerrrr arrr gurrt feeiis gurrrree muss gerr fissst gerr"
Diplomacy 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 = 11
"Clawer, biter, jumper and pouncer, we, Lir-Elf-hunter, he, Taff shadow-cat-hunter. You?, names give?"
She has beastkin trait, that lets her speak cat at will, in game she will always give commands to Taff in cat.

"Oh I am sure they are in the grasp of Heironeous I fear not for their souls merely saddened by the loss of their tangible forms.
Indeed, I travel with Hedrak, Lirillith, and Rickton Huckleberry.
Rickton I am sure is out and about shopping as well and will be along soon enough. We are here for the night and then off to the Keep with the rest of the caravan".

Van Vynolis |

Shall we settle for the night with the rest of the caravan? Rickton will be along I'm sure once he's had his fill of the place, or at least by tomorrow morning when we head out!
Feel free to stay with us for the evening Dubhán.
Are you living her permanently among the elves now?" He starts slowly heading back to where the caravan set up to stay for the night. He pauses.
"Lirillith, did your elven companions say anything more about the Orc patrol that we encountered? It would be good to know if they were a random raiding party or connected to a larger force.
The elf I spoke to did indicate some coincidence to their current activity and the activity we are contemplating looking into at the Caves, but did not draw a direct line between the two".

EltonJ |

"No they seem to act like this is a constant, they head out now and then to thin the Orc population."
She heads off to ask about this.
The captain of the orc hunting party happens to be at the temple of Corellon Larethian. He hasn't gone in yet.

EltonJ |

She walks up to captain and asks about the events that lead up to the orc hunt.
"The orcs have been raiding our village," said the captain. "They have been taking captives for some reason we know not of, so the king declared a Gheallie Sidhe against the orcs."

Lirillith Gillantian |

Shocked that they had hunted but not found any catives she asked about who had been taken.
Then she goes to find the others to tell them that elves had been taken and may be with the orcs in the forest.

Van Vynolis |

"Perhaps they were taken TO the Caves.
Disturbing indeed.
Dubhan, if you've the desire to adventure once more, it appears we could certainly use your help.
To the Keep tomorrow and the caves thereafter..."

Van Vynolis |

I do not think I am there for that conversation
Nope, you are at the hospital assisting! We will find you again soon I'm sure :)
