Desmond forces the potion down her throat.
Then Karnog releases a powerful healing touch. Her brown eyes open widely and she caughs back to life. "O..o...oh my that was close."
She convulses on the floor.
Desmond you recognize the bar owner. You've even be rebuffed by her several times. She has a gushes gut wound, she is trying to push her innards back. "T..t..th' Lt...sends w...w...wor..d." Her eyes flutter as her life blood stains the floor.
"Ere." A week voice responds from behind the bar. The bar owner is the seventh bloody victim.
Reluctantly, the Desmond is maneuvered by the party to the Slywink Tavern. The lunch crowd is there most are enjoying the daily special: fish stew and crusty bread along with a few tankards. The owner proprietor welecomes you, "Have seat and drink wary travelers." Then she realizes Desmond is there....tied up. She quickly jibes, "The girls were right about you...kinky tricks." she simply shakes her head back and forth in disbelief. "You still have a balance due on your bar tab by the way."
The bar keep is happy to see the group survive and news of the rescue of so many prominent people has the tavern abuzz. Everyone is buying you free beer and meals, just to get a story or two. confirmation of your deeds. "So how deep is that place? not many live to talk 'bout it."
"She's known as Felicitas Sweetfingers and her voice is pillow soft; she and her little dragon were fantastic for business yesterday. Quite a bit of merriment and well,...the men seem to enjoy the view." She refills his coffee and pours a cup of her own, the chicory aroma wafting through the air, "The dwarf is an odd duck. He came in with the Short Swrods, but claims he has no memory." She glances over at him, "He's a drinker, but aren't all dwarves, a boisterous talker, and probably hiding something: hence no memory."
Jenar places a cup of coffee, along with the pot on the table. "Walter, I'll get your usual breakfast." She pats the gnome on his shoulder.
"A helm of mead to take the edge off." She smiles. "Dwarves are great for business the spike in beer sales skyrockets." She hands you your helm back. A few minutes later several loaves of fresh crusty bread and honey butter are placed in front of dwarf, then his eggs bacon, and several large slices of sweet ham.
With a pearly laughter Felicitas just says"If they have, a 4682 Janderhoff whiskey.". Jenar raises an eyebrow, "I get that rarely but good taste. I'll have to keep my eye out for you."
Jenar laughs while she hands the dwarf a tankard of tupelo honey, "Your dragon friend was drinking a tankard of this...have at it."
Jenar has a key in her hand, she speaks to Felicitas, "Your room is 13B on the second the floor, it's at the end of the hallway. I can have someone show you up, if you need."
"I've a couple different whiskey's depending on your palate and budget." She smiles. "The house special blend 3 sp, Cheliax firewhiskey 1 gp, then there's the Riverrun Char with it's smokey taste but that's expensive at 5 GP a cup, or 50 gp for the bottle."
With the singing, stomping and dancing the tavern fills to an overflowing capacity. "Your good for business this day!" The proprietor states with gratitude to the party. She lines up another round of tankards. "This one's on the house."
"Welcome back Karnog." The pregnant pause, then"Did everyone make it back?"
As the boisterous dwarf pushes his way into the Sly Wink, several patrons step back giving him room. There's few jokes made. 'Line 'em up we've a thirsty dwarf celebrating."
As the small dragon flaps and rolls around in joy, the tavern own pulls points to a large honey pot behind the bar. She step over back and grabs a large soup bowl, then ladles three large scoops into the bowl, smiling as she places it on the bar in front of the dragon. "Perhaps this will satisfy your sweet tooth for a bit." She reachs and scratches his chin. Turning her attention to Felicitas, "So what brings you to Fentonville?"
Eying the small dragon, "Would your little friend like something to eat? We've plenty of honey in town. In fact, we've an apiary."
As the barkeep pours a tankard of honey spiced ale, he smiles a bit speechless at the human. He fumbles with the foam. Another female steps up and take the tankard form him, "I got this and don't mind him. I'm Jenar, proprietor the wink and yes , we've nice room with tub for you." She slides the tankard to Felicitas.
Gerard you sense the noble is telling your the truth. The bar maid, leans in and talks softly to Gerard. "That be the tavern keeper, Deran Vesken, he's lives here, he's in his room. I'm work here...run it when he's not." She smiles, and she has all her teeth. She is attractive. "So you come in tossing platinum, makeing bold toasts, who are you looking for?"
There is gumbling when Gerard makes his cheer, then but others bang their tankards and goblet on the table. It seems like the room is divided. The bartender looks at the coin, then begins to pour drinks, when she places the coin in the register. "Careful now with your words." She smiles. "Not all are as thrilled as you are."
"I've a a couple fine roast hogs smoking out back if you a meal. To start I've a hearty stew and some crusty loafs to settle the stomach."
'Two others Rammellorn and Argrim went off north with caravan into Lastwall. Good to see you make it back...alive." This last comment gets the attention of another bar patron.
The Sly Wink is packed with customers when you enter. All the table are occupied but there's room at the bar. Several people look up and gaze at the newcomers. The person behind the bar winks as she begins to pour ales, "You look thirsty." The first five honey spice ales appear, then she immediately begins filling a second round. "I don't forget a face...not quite as good with names, Karnog right?" She smiles, "A couple of you went out together a few week past right...working for Walter if I recall." She pauses letting the adventurers drink up. "Some of group...what the Short Swords came back bout ten days ago...Nib and Varl. They are still around town."
You are able to get a feel for the small town later that day and into the evening. The Sly Wink is everything the gnome mentioned it is tavern, inn and brewery all wrapped in one as if blessed by the drunken god himself. A concept that is so simply - yet utterly brilliant. The scent of clove and spices cling to the air. The proprietor smiles warmly, "How 'bout a tankard? First one to strangers is always on the house."
As the group is settling down at the table laughing about the evenings events. Rehashing the stories of the fleeing wizard, one of Rances body guard enter the establishment. She is tall half-elf with coal black hair and high cheekbones, wearing a chain shirt of high craftmanship, and twin short swords at her side. She has a rose growing out of a blood soaked street holy symbol on her armor. She does not seem to fear the only permitted deity rule. "Aye ain't leavin' ya out my sight." she sits down with Shadow and Rance.
Thanks for the consideration.
I've been following this thread, even though I was passed up as player. I did change her race to H/E from Human. I still have an interest should the need arise. I play in a shackles game and I'm an active poster. I, also, run an active CoT PbP game.
When this character was first created, she was as a human, I converted her to half-elf but forgot to back out the human bonus feat. I think the update is good to go now.
I updated the gear. I may tweek it a bit still but nothing major.
HP for second level Jenar Hickory is updated. I used the additional 3 BP to bring her Cha up from an 8 to 10, and I bumped her Str up 1. I still need to update for the 1000 GP value. is this in addition to the average starting wealth? The character is currently built using the average starting wealth.
May I present Jenar Hickory for consideration, female H/E Ranger. She has detailed background tied into this story line. She missed out on a recent Jade recruitment. I need to update her for 2nd level and the alignment variation that you posted.
I can play any role you need. I missed out in the most recent Jade campaign (with the attached character). Playing a goblin sounds fun.
Thanks for opportunity to submit and congrats to those who were selected.
Arknight, the GM closed the recruitment for this game last night.
Cele: In response to your character questions - I may make a few changes tomorrow, I have included this in my character profile and will make the changes there. Questions: Why does Jenar feel Shalelu took her on adventure with her, rather than leaving her with someone?
Jenar was quite young, only 14, when the horrendous event occurred in her life. Initially, Jenar believed it was because of kindness, even a sense of responsibilty towards her. As she grew, she understood it was to instill a sense of independence upon her. For Jenar knows, she is the last surviving member of her family; and ultimately, she must be self sufficient. She has been left for a period of time with the elves, where she did recieve more "book" education. This is where she actually learned to read and write elven, not just conversation. Has Jenar met the other main NPCs? Jenar has met each of the other NPCS. She is the closest to Ameiko Kaijitsu and can be found sleeping in the Rusty Dragon store room on occassion. Jenar likes Kaijitsu and appreciates the warmth of the tavern on cold nights. Koya Mvashti is known to Jenar, as they both follow the same deity- Desna. Koya has assisted Jenar in learning more about Desna's teachings and philosphies. Jenar has guided Koya down to Magnimar, which is near where her parents memorial is located, on a couple occassions. Especially, if Sandu is not on the trip. Jenar knows Sandru Vhiski but he makes her uncomfortable. He has always been pleasant; however, since he is a man and she fears being stared at, she is shy around him. Jenar tries to avoid him, if possible. Basically, she just does not know how to act around him. Perhaps, a apark of a crush will develop. What place did Jenar like visiting the most? Her favorite place is with the elves in Crying Leaf. That is where she feels the most comfortable being around people and it is where she learned how to read and write elven. She truly enjoyed seeing the Sky Citadel, Janderhoff, and the dwarven architectural glory. To be able to observe the massive iron wall was spectacular. Although she was not keen on the confined tunnels within the mountain. Has Jenar come to grips with her feelings towards Shalelu (as in accepted them, but not announced them)? Jenar has not come to grips with her feeling towards Shalelu and this is due to her young age, lack of parents to confide in, and just general uncertainity and curiousity. What does she like best about Shalelu? Jenar likes how Shalelu is a protector. How she protects individuals, like herself, and a community like Sandpoint.
I made a small addition to the backgound; essentially, accounting for the reason why she is in Sandpoint.
Thank you for posting and keeping us updated.
These are the kind of comments that make me want to tinker with my character out of nervous habit to get it just right! lolOh boy looks like some stiff competition.There are quite a few excellent candidates, including your own. That is funny, I completely understand. A comma here, a rephrased statement there, and character looks completely different then when original posted. There are some great characters enough for three or more full campaigns. Tough decisions. Good luck to everyone.
Oh boy looks like some stiff competition. There are quite a few excellent candidates, including your own.
Cele: I know in the OP you indicated that you were leaving the recruitment open until May 18th, but it seems like you have a lot of interest and builds already submitted. Some fantastic backgrounds and characters were developed. Is there any change that your tough recruitment decisions are made earlier? Swaying back and forth, biting lower lip hoping for a positive response. Thanks.
I added a bit more depth to Jenar Hickory's background and tweaked a bit of the gear. Thanks for the consideration.
I will submit Jenar Hickory for consideration. Jenar is a female, ranger (guide) with NPC ties to Shalelu. Her character is attached. I can, and will be, active in my posting. |
