Variel Imbues his bow with his spark of arcane might and tries to shoot the nearest Mephit with 2 arrows.
Variel followed after Heiwa, trying but obviously failing to keep up.
"Well I shall be heading out already. Can't let those tracks get cold. If you still have some things to arrange, you can do so." Variel stands up and bows towards Gregor. "It should be easy enough to catch up with me. I will be moving slower than I normally would as following tracks takes careful attention."
"I am Variel Undovir of Illumnor. Although my skills mostly lie in other fields, I should be able to follow the trail of the purple perpetrator, if we do not tarry. For every moment we wait his tracks might get disturbed by passerby."
"You have my sword and bow! I was looking for a worthy quest and this is one if I ever saw one!", Variel with a louder voice than he had wanted. He changes his posture and bows apologetically "My apologies for my tone, I was still excited from the combat we had with this purple scoundrel."
Seeing the shots of the others fly wide, Variel decides not to shoot any of his arrows and stows his bow. Not wanting to accidently hit any of the innocent bystanders. "Barkeep, I do not wish to intrude, but your patrons are starting to get unruly. You might want to do something about it, lest they destroy your establishment." Variel says hesitantly to Gregor.
Is mine ok, or do you want it all visible at once? It's just that I prefer no to clutter the field with to much info at once :)
"The miscreant is escaping, we must give him chase!" Variel sheaths his curve blade and while he goes out the door he pulls the Elven longbow from his back.
"I may be new to this country, but I do know that theft isn't condoned anywhere. So I will not sit idly on the sidelines." with these words Variel swiftly moves over to the crazed halfling while drawing his curve blade from its sheath. He twists the blade slightly in order to strike the halfling with the flat of the blade.
"Well I can see him, good sir wizard ... To clearly I might add." I wonder if this is a halfling custom I am unaware off? If there is time I will ask him later. Variel ponders while still looking at Zok.
Last week, last month, I think this man's mind is living in the past... Variel thought after hearing Getoff speak of his last meeting with Thanopsis. He continued the conversation in Elven, "I am here to learn more of the people of these lands and their customs. But currently I am actually looking for adventure, that's why I came to this Inn."
Variel is a bit startled and also happy to hear someone speak his native tongue, he sits down in front of Getoff Mylawn. He replies in Elven, "You must be a great arcanist to speak of headmaster Thanopsis in such a familiar manner. I am not on an errant on his behalf, but now I wish I was, for it would mean he would still be amongst the living. It has already been sevaral decades since he passed away. But it is good to meet a colleague of his in these strange lands. What is your name good sir?" While saying all of this, some of the new people arrive. It's good that I may at least have one friend here. The place is getting more crowded than i had expected it to be.
formatting:
I use italics for thoughts and "bold with quotation marks for speech out loud", and if it's in hushed tones/whispered/shouted/... I usually mention it with the text. Outside the Corner Inn stood a tall elf who was leafing through a journal. Yes, yes, this is most certainly the place I was told about in Cobbleton. Lets hope there are some good jobs left for a fledgling adventurer as myself.... he thought after finding the name he had written in his journal a few days ago. Uncertain of who or what he'll find inside this humble inn, he cautiously entered, journal still in hand. He was pleased to see that the place wasn't brimming with adventurers, vying for a few measly jobs, so he relaxed a little. His attention was drawn to the group who was talking with the barmaid, at which point he also sees Sayyesss, the Sorceress. He stood there a bit baffled while thoughts started rolling through his mind, What business does an orc have in this inn... Oh wait no, she is a half-breed. I had heard humans slept with anything that remotely resembles a female, but to sleep with an orc, the thought alone is horrifying. I must say she looks very different from what one would expect of such a pairing ... No, stop thinking that, she's still part orc, keep your wits about. After this internal monologue, the elf had worked up the courage to walk up to the group. "Greetings and well met, I am Variel Undovir of Illumnor, may I take a seat at this table in exchange for a round ..." he paused mid sentence, seeing the drinks standing in front of those seated at the table. Hmm, they already have drinks, what else could one offer as a way of appeasing ... ah, yes that will work "... bowl of stew for everyone?" That'll do, that'll do... Standing behind the seat he had chosen he waits if the group accepts his offer. The elf in front of you all stands 6 feet 5 inches tall. He has long dark hair, dark blue eyes and his face is covered in green elven tattoos.
for Getoff Mylawn:
He is clearly dressed in the attire of the Elven defenders, guardians of the isle of Illumnor, home of the Illuminati elves. The necklace is clearly the symbol of the "Daystar", main deity of their pantheon and the symbol of their nation. You have also heard of the name Undovir. It is a minor noble house which is part of the radiant court of Illumnor.
One thing you also know about the elves of Illumnor is that most of them have at the very least a spark of arcane might. This allows them to create light at will. (like the cantrip)

Hi, Theorythmus here with my character.
Variel Undovir:
Variel Undovir of the Illuminati (that is Illuminated elves, what else could it be, ... stop looking at me like that!) Male Elf with the following alternate racial trait : Lightbringer: Many elves revere the sun, moon, and stars, but some are literally infused with the radiant power of the heavens. Elves with this racial trait are immune to light-based blindness and dazzle effects, and are treated as one level higher when determining the effects of any light-based spell or effect they cast (including spell-like and supernatural abilities). Elves with Intelligence scores of 10 or higher may use light at will as a spell-like ability. This racial trait replaces the elven immunities and elven magic racial traits.

Background:
Variel is a skilled Elven defender capable of fighting with bow and curve blade, but the many years he has lived on the Illuminati island have sheltered him from any of the real dangers in life. Like most of his people he possesses the spark of arcane might. This allows him to create light where there previously was none. He spent many years training, both physically and mentally, but the knowledge he has learned about the world outside the island comes mostly from outdated manuscripts written by his ancestors. So now an adult elf in his own right, he has set out into the world with journal and inkpen to learn first hand which knowledge is correct and what was still unknown so many years ago. The little time he has already spent on the mainland showed him how little they knew about local customs and mannerisms. With this knowledge he knew that he would have to spend a longer period in these lands than he had initially expected. This meant he needed more disposable income so he has taken to the occupation of adventuring. As it would require him to only come in contact with a small group of people, rather than the amount you get when working in a shop or some other occupation. This is what has led him to the Corner Inn on this beautiful day ...
