A paladin raised his voice in the tavern, catching only a glimpse from the mighty Dwarven Warrior.

"I will take your challenge, good Dwarf; I am not here for goods and glory, I am here to see that as much evil be slain from the depths as possible. I will be your sword."

[Rising_Dusk]

The Dwarf looked back at the paladin. He was by no means a match for the Dwarf in a fight, but he had certainly seen his fair share of battles over the past few months. He would do well, a strong member for the foreground of the battle. He was also twice the necessary level for any challenges he could provide him, making him all the less likely to die by accident to a stray Kobold's arrow. Poor Jax...

"Ye' will do well. Prepare for the journey -- and have a pint, on me."

The Dwarf snapped his fingers and the keeper ran out a pint to the Paladin. Another coin awaired on the Keeper's bar for him when he returned from the task.

Law stepped in to the tavern. He had been deliberately avoiding it for a while. While he could take out most any villager in a simple melee, this place hosted those who would be a bit more of a challenge.

He calmly sat down on a stool. "I hear you're looking for some adventurers, sir." As he spoke, he let small tendrils of frost dance around his hand. He had made a point never to use magic on the surface, but now he felt strong enough to let that little secret slip.

Law couldn't help but look around the tavern to see several brusiers slip into the shadows. They had surely wanted to fight the punk who had taken down their fellows using only a dagger; now they knew the game had changed.

Entering the tavern, Kigilin shouted "Hoy! I hear ye were lookin' fer some adventurers, if ye want a hand, count me in!" He sat on a chair, ordered a beer and looked at the other people who seemed to join the Dwarf. A dunedain mage and a human paladin.

[Rising_Dusk]

The Dwarf Warlord had listened to voices of some man and what appeared to be another Dwarf behind him. He turned and found himself looking over a Dunadan frost-breather and a Dwarf much akin to himself in his choice of arsenal and weaponry. Engen's beard was better looking than that Dwarf's was all he could think at first. After he settled his thoughts and come to a conclusion, he spoke to them both at once...

"Aye, ye' both be capable hands. I 'kin see it in yer' eyes."
He paused for a moment and took a quick swig from his newest pint before pointing the mug at the both of them sequentially.
"Sit tight, me'lads, I'll have adventures for ye' that'll make yer' brazen arms and minds cower yet."

He turned back around and slammed his pint to the table to alert the bartender of his demands yet again.
"A pint for the both..." -- a coin slipped from his hands to the table -- "on me."
He finished his pint and awaited any further contestants to come forth.

[VZhitogoroshi]

Law stepped back in to the bar. It had been a while. He couldn't believe how he had been upon his last entry. His actual powers weren't so much greater, but his equipment! To think he had proclaimed himself ready with naught but a dagger and torch. A mistake, to be sure.

"Been a while, hasn't it, barkeep?" Law smiled. "I've got plenty of money to pay my tab, now."

Aethum leaned back in his chair. How unfortunate, another man of a god. He felt it was a fine time to speak up. The mage in particular looked interesting.

"It seems quite an adventure you've had, warrior. The depths hold many secrets indeed. Fair enough, I'll meet your challenge." He smiled. Scrolls of Summon Monster don't quite cut it anymore.

He glanced over the mage, noting the glint of cunning that shone through the deep orbs set into his sockets. He also noted his interesting lack of armor or noticeable arcane equipment. He must depend quite heavily upon his magic. Quite the confident person...
"And another one enters. Isn't the dungeon an intriguing place? A day there is the experience of years here." Another nod and glance.

The paladin who spoke up confidently glanced back. Aethum felt a twitch of annoyance.

"My god is not yours, but I am no bigot. We are men of a common good. " He turned away.

"Another round, barkeeper. From the good vintage." The clink of garnets followed his call as he placed them on the counter. An interesting motley crew indeed.

[OoC](Dump when I have access to it.)

[iblablaman]

Kigilin came back to the tavern, with his proof of his achievements. "I'm not just a small talkin' Dwarf, I got plenty of muscle to use, big weapons to help me, and drinks to boost me. I'm sure I'll be around to do some more challenges, since those were easy!" With that, Kigilin left the tavern, only to not return...

[Rising_Dusk]

Engen Blakk nodded to the surly Dwarf claiming that his travels thus far had been easy. The early quests were of course just tests, once they reached the true depths, though... He chuckled under his breath and took a swig from his drink as the other Dwarf left.

[Rising_Dusk]

Engen bursted out in laughter at the sinister idea he has just had.

"Warriors, mages, rogues, rangers, and the like! Come and hear me now! When I traveled these dungeons, there was a veeery dangerous game I used ta' play! I would pick up a Staff of Summoning and use it, fighting off the enemies it created, until it was empty! Show me that you can do this and I will reward you handsomely!"

The others in the room looked at each other like the Dwarf was daft, but nodded in his direction in acknowledgment of his grave request.

Syllous opened the door and found himself in the back of the tavern with barely a glance directed his way, of the patrons sober enough to still see none particularity cared about some random mage teleporting in and out. He made sure to throw some bread at the mice gathering nearby before approaching the bar and spotting him, an old battle scared dwarf clearly absorbed in his memories, and his mug.

He smirked as he dropped the pile of glittering scales in front of the dwarf, "A little friend of mine mentioned your call to all who are brave enough to explore the depths of that hell, I have come to heed it."

(Notes on screenshots, The board cuts off the top right one a bit so if you don't want to view it the count is 30 manes 2 quasit and 1 of everything else.)

[Rising_Dusk]

A chill suddenly runs down Engen Blakk's spine. Someone has found Beorn...
