The Tavern Vivian nodded taking the fifteen gold pieces and then looked about the tavern. She then noticed two elves in shiny gold armor sitting in one booth and then there was Feiia. Feiia the snow elf ,as she would like to call her, did some good for the village. She, like most of those that can lift up a blade, or axe, in this village brought in a few bounties here and there. Nothing too fancy, the woman was a assassin like herself, she could tell by the chosen attire. It was kind of a thing for assassin's on the surface to wear that type of clothing. At the bar she also noticed a kinsmen. A drow male, from his posture and the way he sat, he seemed to try and behave in a way as to not upset them. She did not even hear him enter, side from the sound of the doors opening and closing. Was he trying to impress them? She shrugged. She then looked down at Cassandra. "Collect the orders or requests of the others, I will be in the back making up something for the guests to eat. If they request it or not." She then looked to the Centaur, Valis. "Your not a vegetarian by chance are you?" She asked. She waited for a a answer, and as she did so she moved past the bar and towards the backroom where the kitchen was at. She picked up a apron and put it on and grabbed some gloves. She then proceeded to make a good sized meal. Something that would be fitting for the occupants. Surface elves do not eat a whole lot of meat, they do occasionally though. Cassandra rose up picking up her scythe staff and bowed her head slightly to Valis. "Find yourself a seat, if you have to move a few chairs around so you can sit at a table then go ahead. Also don't worry about your little friend. If I was her, I would be a little scared of Brenard as well." She said. The Raven trading places and rested upon the blunt edge of the scythes blade. It stared at the little flying rodent and scoffed at it. "I don't know mistress, I think she is rather rude barking at me like I am some sort of animal. Seriously, I got a whole feast in back to eat, why would I even dare eat such a tiny little creature. It probably has worms....." The Raven spoke. This showed that the Raven was indeed her familiar. Only a Raven that is a familiar to a sorcerer and learn to speak like it just did. Cassandra just rolled her eyes and moved to the table with the two elves sitting at it. "What will you two be having?" She asked politely. She then looked up at Brenard. "Do me a favor and make this easier for me. See if Feiia will be having anything tonight?" She ordered. The Raven nodded and turned and flapped his large wings over to the back booth where the winter elf sat. He landed upon the table, kicking off and black feathers that managed to come off. "Sorry for the feathers, miss. Its the malting season.... anyhow that said. Will you be having anything tonight?" He asked Feiia. His black eyes scanning her features as he waited for her answer. The snow elf was much different then most elves. Elves were pale, but only slightly compared to Feiia. She was almost the same color as the snow outside. It made her pink lips very attractive to the eye as well as her other features. She was truly something to marvel just like the rest of her people. Snow Elves.... sheesh... you would think they would come up with a better name. Frostlings would be a good one ,but that name was already taken. He shrugged his feathers and glanced at some of her toys. The knives were in very good condition and well crafted. Almost a inch away from being masterwork craftsmanship. He would say that if she ever did sell them she would be sitting on a fortune. Eirika looked to Haldir and then back to Cassandra. " I will have a red wine and perhaps something warm to eat? Perhaps whatever, the other lady is cooking? We aren't that picky when it comes to food. As long as it tastes good we should be fine." She said. Haldir nodded and then leaned in. "You wouldn't by chance have any elven red wine back there would you?" He asked. Cassandra smirked at his question. "I see your a man who enjoys the finer things in life. Sure we got some in back, we got plenty actually. We just got a new shipment from the capital a couple days ago. As for the meal, that will easy on her sense she wont have much more to cook. " She then lowered a hand and opened it. "That will be fifteen gold total, the wine costs a pretty penny." She said. Haldir nodded and brought out his coin purse and brought out twenty five gold pieces and placed them in her hand. "We want a room also,..." He added. Cassandra nodded and took the gold and opened her coin purse and placed the pieces inside. She then placed it back at her hip and then left them. She made her way past the bar and to the back grabbing a bottle of elven wine and two glasses and a room key. She then informed her sister of the order, telling her to make a larger order. She then returned to the main room and to their table. She set the bottle down and the two glasses. She then with a good grip of her mind pulled the cork out. She then placed the cork on the table. She would then move to the opposite side of the bar from the drow male. She then leaned on it. "So,.. what will you be having?" She asked. The Longhouse The Jarl nodded accepting what the dwarf exchanged with him. "Look, Durin, with my men not being that very great in numbers I can't afford to keep sending them out after bandits. I want you to find this old man who was attacked, Likely find him at the Tavern or at one of the shops. Get what information you can, my wife will meet you at the Tavern. I don't want you going out there alone, so with her help she will gather some volunteers to go with you on this hunt. I want the bandits dead, not a single one of them shall be spared. I do not tolerate criminals in my province. " He said. He then looked to Arielle. " Arielle, I also want you to ask the sisters if they could do a bit of scouting on their way back from the mountain. This orc head is the first head I have seen this month. This proves they are still roaming inside my borders. I want them found and dealt with." He said. Arielle nodded and rose up from her seat. She then looked to Durin, "Well, Durin, I suppose we will meet again at the tavern, until then enjoy your time here in Reisui. I only wished your visit would have been during our summer, and not our winter. It is much more enjoyable then." She said. She then bowed slightly to honor Durin and her husband and then left them. She moved right away and made way for the tavern. [u][b]Outside[/b][/u] Veo stepped out of his shop for just a second spotting a old man and a half-orc. The old man nodded and waved. "Hey, there old man, your late.... wheres your stock?" The old man sighed and gave the story to Veo. The satyr just crossed his arms and snorted. "Damn bandits are ruining our business, well when word gets to the Jarl. They will wish they let your wagon go by." The satyr had a goat like accent but could speak rather well. He then gestured for the old man to get out of the cold. "Ye can stay with me for the night,... I owe you that much at least for making the trek down here in the winter." He then looked to the half orc who lacked the winter clothing of this country. He made a little whistle gesturing to the half-orc. "Hey you, you want to survive the winter? Fur coat is what you need. Several I have in my shop. Come inside and take a look. Good price for good customers." He said. The man was most certainly distinguishable between full breeds. He had converse plenty of times with Gorgamesh to show for it anyway. The half-breed was still strong in muscles, something he inherited from his father no doubt. However, his tusks were smaller. Veo honestly did not give a crap about race. Gold was gold, it weighed the same no matter which hands they came from.
