"Thanks for getting me out of that... Stefan was it? I don't think I could have left on my own. That girl was gorgeous! I guess you heard why I was going to this feedbag place, if you don't mind me asking, what're you going there for? You know what, it's none of my business. I'm just glad for the company."
Noting the woman looking him over, "I know you must think I'm Shoanti but I'm actually Varisian. Came up in a caravan and everything. My uncle sent me here to find someone and I hear this is the place." It seems Rudak is more confident when he doesn't have a beautiful girl hanging on his arm.
Rudak might not be very wise but he remembers beautiful girls only hang on him like this when they want something. Then again, his cousins are usually around to take all the attention so maybe this time is different. Stefan's invitation makes up his mind. "Uh, as much as I'd like to stay Shayliss, I'd better get going before I stay here all day. Not that i wouldn't like it but, uh... I gotta go." Rudak quickly runs out of things to say and starts pulling away. As he goes, he drops a couple more coins on the table. "Thank you for your hospitality Banny, girls, I'll see you all around right?" He looks hopefully to Shayliss as he asks the last question.
Rudak frowns a little as Harker orders like that but shakes it off. He tries to come up with a story the girl is looking for but all of his wilderness experience was with a Varisian caravan. He starts off stuttering trying to delay having to tell any kind of story but knows he eventually has to say something. "Well... you see... the uh, the wilderness is fine. It uh, it's not as fast as the town here normally. There's some beasts you need to watch out for if you're alone. There are some pretty sights to see but it can be dangerous." He tries to keep conversation going as best he can until his new acquaintances start to file out. Here puts a hand out to Haslo, "I'll catch up with you guys ok?" Once they are more isolated he speaks to Harker in a low voice, "Do you know a man named Jubrayl Vhiski? My uncle sent me here to find him and I don't really have any leads. No offense but uh, you seem the type to have maybe met some of my uncle's friends."
Rurik enjoys breakfast with his new acquaintances. "Sure! It's better to enjoy things like that with friends." He eats in mostly silence after that but nearly chokes on his food when he sees Harker and the girls he's with. He quickly excuses himself from the group table to go speak with Harker. "What happened to you last night? I still owe you a drink! I don't think now's a good time to repay the debt though. And who are these lovely lady's you're escorting?"
Rurik wakes up a few coins lighter thanks to the drinking last night. He is a little groggy in ther morning and decides a good breakfast will help so he heads downstairs. He looks around the common room giving nods to the other unusual folk from last night and takes an open table. He glares at any of the townspeople that try to sit with him but gives deference to any of the out of towners and waves over anyone he drank with last night.
Rudak is speechless as the exotic woman talks to the table. He manages to mumble out a subdued "Fine" when asked how things were going and shakes his head ro the follow up question.
"I, er, no. I'm not exactly here for the ruins. I was on my way to the tavern here to meet a man I treated roughly earlier. I owe him a drink as a way of apology. His name is Harker and he was a worker at the temple I think." He's being very specific about coming to the Rusty Dragon as opposed to talking about why he came to Sandpoint.
Being led to the table, Rudak orders a simple mug of brown ale on top of the tea and, on recommendation of the friendly dwarf, a bowl of seafood stew. That done, introduces himself, "Erm, hello there. I'm Rudak. Pleasure to be making new acquaintances. I only met Parooh here this morning. I got into a... situation with a fellow that ended up needing the sheriff. Once that was resolved, this young lady came up talking about voices in her head so I followed her to this gentleman here."
That is a wonderfully told story! Well done!
Rudak follows along, sometimes losing the small man in the crowds before finding him waving enthusiastically at an acquaintance before he turns to let the big people catch up. Upon arriving at the Rusty Dragon, Rudak looks around trying to get his bearings before ducking under the door frame and entering the darkened tavern.
"Not many of us do grow this size as far as I know. I was actually headed to the Rusty Dragon myself. 'm supposed to be meeting a man members Harker there. I'd be happy to accompany you two there." Rudak follows behind the two of them curious to see how the small fellow navigates the crowd. He'd hate to have another incident like the one with Gorvi.
"I uh, overheard you talking to the sheriff about voices in your head so I wanted to make sure everything was ok. No offence intended." Rudak runs the back of his neck like he isn't sure how to act. "My name's Rudak by the way."
With just about the entire country shut down... I think we all will have more free time. My work has half the office teleworking at a time. Don't feel guilty about dealing with real world issues first. I can't speak for the others but I'll be here.
Rudak, being more curious than protective, follows the elf towards the waving fellow.
"No sir, no trouble from me." Rudak grins widely trying to imitate his varisian family whenever they get stopped by the law. Luckily, he doesn't have to lie about what he was doing. "Just thought this guy could use an outlet for all that aggression." Rudak notices the similarities between himself and Sheriff Hemlock but doesn't really know how to broach the subject. He starts to say something but rethinks the approach and just settles with, "I uh, I guess I'll be on my way then... " As he starts to step away, he notices the finely dressed elf that was standing in his way at the gate approach the sheriff. He might not be the most observant but he can see what would be a good mark if he was so inclined. Then she starts talking about voices in her head and Rudak is struck with a feeling that she may need some help, or at least support, in the hustle and bustle of the festival. He hangs around to see what happens with her story.
Rudak starts to apologize for bumping into the man but stops as he gets aggressive. It's not often that people have the golyó to stand up to him. He gives Gorvi a mystified look before remembering he doesn't have his cousins to keep this from escalating. "You... you're really going to do that? Hahaha, ok! Sure Gorvi, give me a thrashing! Rudak puts down his sword and opens his arms wide.
Rudak grins at the man, "I may have to come find you later then. Harker at the Rusty Dragon, sounds good. Thanks for the information. I'll quit taking your time." Rudak had seen that look before in some of his less savory "cousins". Perhaps this man could lead him to this Jubrayl he is supposed to find. This festival might be worth checking out while he's here too. He lingers there for a while watching the men work at the temple before he heads off to find the Rusty Dragon.
Yep, that's why rudak doesn't have a picture yet
Rudak looks after the wagon of girls and grinned before chastising himself. Focus Rudak, what would the others do? He looks around for a moment and appreciates the well made inn. Getting frustrated at by not knowing where to go he grabs a passerby by the arm and asks, "What's all the excitement going on here?" Remembering most people dont like to be grabbed that way he hastily let's go and apologizes grinning sheepishly, "Oh, er, sorry about that."
I'm more interested in the weapon options than the armor ones but I included both. Level 5 is the earliest it would come in to play as there is a feat in those same books to pick one of those options. Thre good ones in my opinion is a weapon one that lets you add your bravery bonus to all will saves instead of just fear and one that gives a poor man's version of the magus's arcane pool weapon enhancement ability.
Finally went and looked at the maps of sandpoint and let me just say... WOW, those look great! Some questions that won't be relevant for a while but I would like to know the answer to. There are some fighter options from the weapon masters handbook and armor masters handbook that give some really neat fighter abilities in exchange for extra weapon training groups and armor training boosts. Would those be cool to plan for?
Thanks for picking Rudak! 1) what are the three best adjectives to describe your characters personality? Easy going, adaptive, big headed 2) What are the three best adjectives to describe your characters appearance? Rough, LARGE, solid 3) What fictional character (book, tv, film etc) best espouses your character concepts? Doesn't have to be class, but the character more than the build. Geralt
