Aesthen - Foamy crown

Aesthen had just received his cheap ale and was engaging one of the young tavern serving girls. A petite half-elf. With his devilish smile and a few well placed words he had won her over. He really needn’t say that much but show her the polite consideration and etiquette that most drunks failed to do. A few little clever compliments here and there of things other than her cleavage line and her cheeks were blushing bright red. Although, once she smiled the words came easily. Aesthen found her very forward for a betrothed woman.

Meanwhile he had done the maths, and despite the many variables left unanswered his ever suspicious gut told him this tavern was a front. Someone or some faction was backing it. Unaware of who it might be affiliated with he decided to be careful how he presented himself. So subtly and very slowly he drew information from this young lass.

Aesthen’s search for answers was interrupted as the tedious motion of the tavern door echoed its tired tune once again, even still at this late hour it couldn’t find rest. A giant of a woman entered. She was not only big in height but muscle too. Her intimidating stature towering above all others. Her tinted skin, heavy armour and large glaive telling a story. A Goliath warrior. Instantly this was someone Aesthen wanted on his side. He studied her for a moment having never met a Goliath before. He appreciated all rare things. She caught his stare and he froze for a moment, but she simply gave him a friendly nod. He smiled back returning the nod, feeling a little foolish. He decided he would talk to her once she was settled. There was no rush, the night was still young.

Now that there was a new patron his serving girl left his side, breaking their conversation to return to the work she was supposed to be doing. This left Aesthen alone with his thoughts as he nursed his ale while newcomers continued to roll in.
Another fierce looking woman found a table to share while an old man made himself a person of interest by flaunting his wealth before approaching the Goliath. While this man was an obvious target, years of instinct told Aesthen so, he instead saw him as a different opportunity. He subtly looked around the tavern, looking for anyone else that might have seen his obvious display of coin but was actively remaining unaware or avoiding directly looking at the old man.

Trying to notice those who wished to be unnoticed. Aesthen, afterall, was here to find a man that didn’t want to be too easily found. With no details of face or features he had less than a name to go off. All that Aesthen really knew was that he was looking for a thief, perhaps his only connection to the thieves guild. It had cost him some good coin for the little information he did have. He just had to hope his message found its way to the right people.

He hated having to trust in thieves.

@Whoami

Yea that was an awesome lil story but it sounded like it happened during the day and we are at the tavern at night. So it’s either already happened and we missed it or it is going to happen tomorrow and you have to wait until we catch up..?

@Hellion I’m keen to start an interaction with your Goliath but should probably give the others a chance to post first :/

Love the concept but not sure about the execution, feels a bit too rushed/loose to me.
But none the less, I am interested and will follow this and see how it all plays out.

Aesthen-The Foamy Crown

For Aesthen, Draydon had that feeling of a new town even though he had been born here so long ago. Void of the childish bliss and youthful ignorances he once carried through these streets. He looked at this unfamiliar Ruby city through different eyes. Older eyes, wiser eyes, eyes that had seen hardships and understood the true way of things.
He cursed the naivety of his younger self, that child who always thought his father would return. The child who thought the world was just and fair. A child that had faith in the gods and wanted to be a great knight one day. So full of hopes and dreams. So foolish.

Melting in from the cold nights shadows that he wore with a comfortable embrace, Aesthen emerged into the warm light of the tavern via introduction of an old creaking door. His padded boots drawing him across the wooden deck floor as with a groan he removed his baggage and took a seat at the bar. The tired and weary traveler, fresh off the boat, legs still of the sea, let out an exasperated sigh. It had been a long trip to get back here. Back home to Draydon.

The foamy crown held a familiarity to Aesthen, not one of being here before but that that all scroungy common district taverns held. Never truly clean and in a constant state of repair. The ever present drowning sense of hopelessness and despair, clinging thick in the musky air, seeping from the patrons past and present like sweat on a humid day. The aroma of violence and testosterone stained deep into the wooden furnishings, carnal desire flickering around in the dim light and teasing from the deep dark shadows that had set up home in every nook and cranny. It held an aura of primality that was a reminder how man is only a few coherent thoughts away from being a beast.
Like most taverns the Crown was as if it was tucked away in its own little pocket dimension, far away from the real world yet still unable to escape all its troubles.
It was a perfect place for those of empty dreams and lost from hope to pass away the hours of their life behind a tankard of ale until their inevitable death.

While looking the part, Aesthen didn’t belong here. He was not a man without purpose or reason. He was full of aspiration and desire. But this was no longer his home and he had to start somewhere.
Sounding beyond the appearance of his age, without looking up from the counter in which he rest his arms, Aesthen called for “a tankard of you’re cheapest ale.” His voice soft yet dry, wrung with an air of confidence.

When the ale finally came, Aesthen makes a show of looking around. “I herd people have been dissapearin’, didn’t realise it was all of yer customers.” he taunted looking back to that who served him giving a well practiced smile that was both charming and teasing. “Should I be worried?” he asked with a soft self amused chuckle, digging for the rumours he had heard whispers of.
I’m in the midst of mine but I will wait as I’m intrigued by @Whoami.
Is this something organised with the GM or solo shenanigans?




Ok, think my application is complete now.
