D&D: Begin The Chalice Seeker story
From Create Your Own Story
On the road to Waterdeep sits a little inn named The deer's den. It serves mainly as a hunting lodge for the nearby grounds which are ripe with games. But it also doubles as a resting point for those weary of travel and seeking to rest before reaching the city of splendours. And is it there that our tired party decide to stop for the night. The reason is not so much to rest as to seek out a contact of theirs. It is also a way to avoid hearing the elf constantly complain about her aching feet.
As they come closer to the warm and noisy inn, Arghanz takes a moment to pull out a potion and drink it whole. The group is used to this. The half-orc feels the need to hide his presence when in human settlement. Not that it should matter this close to the city. The region is well-known for it's tolerance of half-breeds and bastards. But it's not gonna change the way the half-orc feels about avoiding trouble and Valan is somewhat thankful for his forwardness. They do tend to attract less attention this way. And so, as the liquid goes down his throat when he chugs it down, the magic takes hold. His tusk retracts into his jaw and his skin begins to change hue from green to the pinkish human skin.
The group step inside the busy inn. They don't attract too much attention as the common room is filled with patrons, loud with chatters and beer clanging. Valan leads the way to the middle of the tavern and the group gathers as they eye around.
"What now ?" Lauren asks.
"Our contact is here." explains Valan. "Nieva and I will meet with him. You can do whatever you want but don't get in too much trouble"
"Hrm.. What's too much trouble?" Nieva asks with a sultry tone.
Valan sighs and adds with a low tone so no one hears it " We're still techniquely on the run from some flaming fist company. Although we lost their trail, I'd like to keep it that way so no murdering anyone."
The group nods and spread out.
Valan and Nieva heads towards their contact. Meanwhile, Lauren goes over to get their room. Arganzh moves to the bar and Shureil wanders about the room, eavesdropping on conversations.
