Name: Katherine Level: 1 Race: Kitsune Class: Warrior Date/Time: Day 1 / Morning Location: Right outside the Greased Oak Tavern Tagging:[@Holy Soldier] Mentioned: [@Fetzen] [i][b]SLAM![/b][/i] Katherine stopped on her tracks. She had been just about to enter the tavern where she was supposed to meet her party when she heard a loud crash coming from inside. Her fox ears twitched as she honed in on the sound. [I]Oh boy, that can't be good...[/I] She thought as she reached for her spear mounted on her back. [I] It's too early in the morning for this kind of commotion in a tavern, specially the tavern where I'm supposed to be meeting up with the other... err.. [/I] Her train of thought derailed as she questioned for the first time the kind of people she was supposed to meet. [I]... Mercenaries..? ...Anyway, this can't be good, unless... [/I] [i][b]You struggled![/b] [/i] Laughter broke out from inside the tavern. She sighed as she came to the realization the commotion might just be her party. [I]What's going on in there?[/i] She wondered. [i][b]What’s goin’ on ‘ere? [/b] [/i] Katherine shrugged off the convenient question. She placed her spear against the wall next to her, just in case. She then leaned her back against the wall near the entrance to the tavern, and listened in on the conversation. She covered her mouth to hide her amusement as she listened. [i][b]I’m out of here. Let’s start this damn quest already.[/b][/i] [I]And there it is. He mentioned a quest. That's all the proof I need.[/I] She crossed her arms and waited there, leaning against the wall, as the man's marching steps grew louder. Finally, her ally came into view. A pleased smile beamed across her face as she looked at what she considered a behemoth of a man that would serve as her perfect meat shield for their quests to come. "Morning, big guy."
