As Rhoddin listened to Vito ramble on about himself, he managed a half smile as he thought about mans claims. Although they seemed outrageous, the young man had come to understand that often those who made outrageous matter of fact claims, could often back them up. The idea of financial gain would c...

Even as the young bard was about to offer assistance to the man, his breathing eased and enquired of Rhoddins past. Something seemed odd to the young man, but he struggled to put his finger on it right away. It seemed at least that he had something secreted away beneath his doublet. Rhoddin nodded, ...

As the older man spoke, Rhoddin took in the incongruous voice and teeth, clearly setting this man apart as something other than a simple bar room lush. He nodded at the mans salute as he downed a decent mouthful of wine, the bards eyes twinkled as the man seemed to be full of his own importance, but...

"Sounds like a fine drop. Perhaps you might just leave the bottle?" The young bard rummaged in his pockets for whatever the required coinage might be, before taking up the bottle and his glass and heading for the table occupied by the older man. As Rhoddin approached he cleared his throat,...

The voice of the barman shook Rhoddin from his thoughts, By K'Tan, it's eventide already! Looking at the young man, Rhoddin managed a crooked smile, "I think a glass of red might well be in order. Something dry perhaps if you have it." The bard looked again at the older man, taking a flick...

Rhoddin approached the bar, keeping to himself initially as he surveyed those already assembled. The group of people chatting was clearly a core feature, but for some strange reason the young bard felt drawn to the odd man out. Maybe it was his apparent disinterest, or maybe something in the sunken ...

The bard nodded his head, "My thanks." He thought for a flicker or two, it seemed he had got into enough trouble for one day, so maybe the guild was not the place to go, just yet anyway. "How might I find the bar? It seems that this might be the place to be, for now anyway." Agai...

To the young bard it seemed fairly busy, he was used to a slower pace. However, he was not unobservant, and clearly something was not as it usually was. the reaction of the local caught his attention, but in all truth he was not here for the entertainment, he sort something else. It appeared that th...

The young bard followed the map the young barmaid had drawn him, passing through Highton into Southbridge he made his way slowly through the unfamiliar city. Eventually he came upon it. Nestled amid several great cultural structures, stood the Promenade Theatre. Circular in design, the young bard ap...

Rhoddin nodded as the serving lass handed him the small map. "Ah, many thanks, I'm sure this will do the trick." The young bard looked at the map, following the arrow to a box that must have been the theatre. "Oh, just one thing," he replied in response to her last question. &quo...

Ah, that explained the lonely feeling, Reise had left on other business. Not to worry, Rhoddin had other errands to run as well. "Ah, many thanks for the key. However, I will not be staying for the moment, perhaps I might leave the key at reception?" The young bard enquired politely. After...

As Rhoddin scanned the room he became aware that someone was looking at him as well, and even as he looked down the young barmaid spoke to him. "Oh, yes, I was looking for my companion. A tall fair lady. Her name is Reise, she was booking us a room." The young bard hesitated a flicker, &qu...

As the young bard approached the Dortman, he noticed a carriage cantering away, and for some reason a pang of regret ran through his body, he really couldn't explain why. shaking his head to clear the thought, he entered the Inn walking towards the common room to see if Reise was about, before askin...

Rhoddin nodded his head, "Yes, maybe via the Inn on the way would be the thing to do." The bard waited a flicker as they walked. "And then onto the Promenade. Then the library, yes sounds like plan." Rhoddin smiled, a course of action now outlined in his mind. The young man began...

As the white haired guard finished talking to Rhoddin, the young bard nodded his, "My thanks good sir, I will endevour to remain out of further trouble during my stay in your fine city." Taking his leave he returned to the room they had entered earlier, just as Vincenzo entered an asked fo...

Rhoddin nodded as Rodriguez spoke, and listened to his final comments about the theatre. After a flickers hesitation, he asked one final question. "I beg a moments indulgence good sir, but is it illegal to use magic ," the word stuck a bit, as Rhoddin certainly didn't consider himself a ma...

Being referred to as bard boy hardly thrilled Rhoddin, but he maintained his composure and instead concentrated on the white haired man, Laurent it seemed his name was. He nodded at the mans question, before replying, "My name is Rhoddin, and yes I seek to pursue my bardic career. I also seek i...

The young bard walked between the green gauntleted men, keeping quietly to himself as he observed their steady progress. As they entered the first main room, he managed to look at the seated corporal without giving any indication that the mans comments had registered, although Rhoddin did take note ...

Even as he spoke the words Rhoddin knew it was a mistake, but it was out now and there was little he could do to rectify the situation, without making it worse. Still as the bell tolled he knew he was in it, and the arrival of the green gauntleted guards he wished he could think of a good way to wig...

Rhoddin took the offered parchment, offering a slight bow and a small smile, "My thanks good sir." It was at this point that the rather uncouth chap behind them elbowed Vincenzo and offered his view on Rhoddins companion. Almost before he could stop himself, the young bard wove a band of e...

As the functionary had been speaking, the young bard had felt around inside his money purse, locating the required coronet. Upon the request for payment, he carefully slid the coin to the functionary, still somewhat unsure of the bribe part, but prepared to accept it as custom dictated. You still ha...

The young bard surveyed the middle-age functionary before him, he was unused to paying bribes, but noted that Vincenzo did not seem to find it unusual, so he assumed it was standard practice in the Mouth. In response to the mans question, Rhoddin cleared his throat. "Well, I guess I'll be singi...

Rhoddin listened with interest to Reises outpouring about her past. Well it was hardly a huge outpouring, but from his lover it seemed an outpouring. His heart ached that she had such a past, but hoped it was getting better as they moved forward. Hmm, speaking of moving forward, what in the seven he...

Rhoddin looked up at Reise, his eyes held hers as he replied to her question. "Too be honest I don't know. He could be, but all I remember of da is that he was a farmer. He's been a farmer all my life." The young man remembered well the days of toil he and his father had spent on their sma...

The young bard was somewhat surprised to be heading to the treasury, but then again maybe they collected all fees in the Mouth.

Rhoddin looked at Vincenzo, awaiting his guides attention so see where they went next.
