"How interesting! Making music has never suited me, I've always had to settle for the birds," Balzeros admits. "So, what is it you do here?" he asks Naughleck

"You make birds?" says Lyre looking quizzically at Balzeros. "I am Lord Medvyed's Weapon's Master."


"This is the baliset it has but nine strings, but it is said each takes a lifetime to master."

The baliset is a nine-string instrument that looks (and sounds) similar to this, if you took the left-side fret board, and arranged above the right side. The treble is played with the left hand, and the bass with the right

"No worries! It feels quite nice to be the knight in shining armour sometimes." Illthir whispers back with a giggle and attempt to hand over Erevenywg to Balzeros (if she wanted to come along of course!). "Yes. Might as well see what caliber of a player he is!"

The man consciously seems to ignore the small crowd gathering around him, by looking away to study another table.

"Jealous?" Illthir raised her glass at the old ranger and winked. "But no, the adventure life isn't quite as wild as the tales. That'd put me out of a job. I'm Illthir Winlow, skald and chronicler; pleasure to meet you."

{Raises his cup, and tips it back}


From across the grand hall the party notices leaning against a pillar openly observing them, while idly strumming a stringed instrument of some sort.

Balzeros tries to size up the man. Is he for real? Zokon's teacher? But that swing seemed pretty serious to me...

Balzeros:
He seems serious.

Serena Mistcastle wrote:
"Enough!" Serena bares her blade and uses it to push Lyre's blade aside. "If you are a friend, sheathe your weapon and let us talk. If not, then prepare to defend yourself, for this man will come to no harm while I yet stand."

Naughleck improved trip v Serena: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

Before Alia can get too far in, Naughleck neatly trips the paladin, and points his blade at her neck.

"And how long will that be, Sarenite?"

Naughleck sheaths his sword, and turns to walk away. "The fight is over. I have my answer."

As the fighter leaves he says "As you were." to the men at that gate, Zokon, the party, or all of the above it is hard to tell.


"'Play?' And do you think an assassin would merely 'play' with you, or that your allies will always be near enough to aid you? Play is for cubs."


"Are you not in the mood to save yourself?" Naughleck broadsword is suddenly in his hand, the point slashing the air between them.

Naughleck broadsword v Zokon (power attack, combat expertise): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13 damage: 1d8 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17 Miss, but now Zokon remembers how good he is.

"Now, guard yourself for true."


Reinvigorating wind--in case you need to know. ;)

spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

"C'mon now, or are you gonna let your elf girl fight for you."

Letting Zokon have a moment to see if he wants to stand immediately.

"Naughleck Lyre wow! You're still serving well and ably I bet. Tis good to see you, you training has served me well over the years and kept me alive...." he says with a little glee happy to see a welcoming face to start.

"Has it?" Naughleck says smiling and drawing close. "Show me."

Naughleck Trip v Zokon (surprise): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24 tripped

With a sudden move the older man puts Zokon on his back, on the hard cobbles next to a stone well.

The gate guards spin around to see what all the commotion is about.

"Zokon? Is that you lad?" calls a gruff voice from out of Zokon's past.

Zokon:
Naughleck is House Medvyed's Weaponmaster, a warrior who trains the other house fighters. He is middle-aged now, but presumably still capable having trained with some of the toughest swordmasters in Restov in his youth before coming to Stoneclimb. He is one of Lord Gurev Medvyed's chief advisors, and staunchest supporters. His last name is a moniker given to him for his skill at the lyre.

Zokon and he have have a passing student/combat instructor relationship as he often both the first and last instructor the martial men of Medvyed train with. It has been years since they have seen one another. Naughleck known to be open, and warm with his friends, and utterly merciless with his or his lord's enemies.
