@13org I can see what you've done! You forgot to replace your own name by my name in the mention list in your post when copy/pasting it from mine!

Edit: If some asshole wants to try to burn the witch, that will also be fun ^^

@Ellion

Shit! I've forgotten to add a lighter and a self-refilling gasoline canister to Jared's equipment list!

This is my new home ?

The struggle was over. The ground was littered with the smoldering or not smoldering remains of dead gnomes and soaked in their blood, but none of the hunter's or whatever they were seemed to grasp the need of cleaning up the mess. Jared did. Even at low temperatures the carcasses would soon start to rot and then the job would quickly become even more ugly. The ground water and the adjacent lake could become contaminated, illnesses be the consequence. Or maybe the contangion was able to survive and continue to do spread its evil effect ? Who knew... Or were these people a bunch of assholes leaving the job to the ordinary, native villagers ?

However it wouldn't hurt if he'd delay action by a few minutes, go into the tavern and make sure he'd have ranted a room before there was none available anymore. He needed to sleep somewhere, and preferably somewhere not situated out here in the cold. Only taking off the facemask and not the hood, Jared entered the tavern named Witches' Paradise. Not having seen it from inside previously, it took him a few moments to orientate himself.

Then he headed towards the counter, having to hold his hood in place with his fingers because it was rubbing against some of the crossbeams of the ceiling. The high chairs in front of the table that usually required their users to put their feet of the ground in order to sit comfortably were a much better and way less hilarious alternative than putting himself down onto one of the ordinary ones. It was to hope they wouldn't crack.

Jared didn't know either Abigail's or Marcus' name, but the former one seemed to be in charge of the bar here so he decided to adress her: "Greetings. I'd like to have a large mug of beer - and rent a room. Is one available ? A cheap one would suffice." He'd have to pinch pennies here until he found another source of them. Wasn't there some kind of job board over there ? Jared made a mental note to investigate it later. Also he made a mental note about staying away from that corner table where... some crazy man... was... dissecting... one of the gnomes... as it appeared. Was there any place even worse than a tavern filled with people who wanted to relax, drink and eat to do this ? He instinctively regretted not having turned his head the other way around to get the job board into his view. It would have saved him the discovery.

"Maybe you should lend this man over there a hand... And reassure that everything's properly disinfected after he's done." Jared lowly said towards the woman who claimed to be a doctor wanting to help, nodding towards Kyzler and his doing in the process.

Into The Dark: Tales of Maroleth

For moments, An-Hasst considered continuing the entire dialogue in the native Elven language which he, due to his half-elven origin, could understand quite well. But what would the others think about that ? Wasn't speaking in a language he knew not everyone would be able to understand quite conspicuous or even offensive ? Not that he was the frontline of the realm of worries about being offensive, but the Skayleigh simply couldn't see any benefit in risking it as well.

An-Hasst returned the greeting in Elvish, but then switched back to the common language which appeared to work even in this rather remote area of the continent. "Well... erm... where Skayleigh usually originate from. The Kaelic Isle. Stuck in the neverending struggle with Andred people." While he put emphasis on the word 'Andred', An-Hasst turned his head and eyes slightly towards Jezebeth. Her claim to be a knight had not failed to insert itself into the Skayleigh's memory for it could imply that she had seen the frontline herself. "I'm An-Hasst Ahal. It is an old tradition among the members of my family to send their child's onto a journey once they're deemed fit. To learn about the rest of the world. So this got me to Riverhope."

An-Hasst let go of a slight sigh before continuing. "And here start's the part that I don't entirely like because I'm not able to give you a clear answer to your question. On the bottom line, I don't know what ultimately got me here. I received an... invitation... to a feast at a local tavern. The meal was very good, but it turned out to be a briefing for a long-run mission as a sideline. I accepted and... So I ended up here with all the others you see. There's trouble with the dark elves, but I don't know why I've been selected to deal with it. I don't even know I was able to attract our tasker's attention in the first place."

It's just people, folks!

Well... I could let Jared become the not-openly-but-secretly-highly-appreciated-because-he-does-the-dirty-and-ethically-highly-questionable-work-no-one-else-wants-to-do-guy who puts an end to the misery of the infected hunter fellow... Shall I do this... Hmm...

@Blubaron45 Are you waiting for me to post first ? Just asking before we end up in a deadlock.

There's no honor among hunters, it seems. Everyone is either trying to kill the infected one or wants him dead! The doctor will remember that the next time ya'll get an infection.

@Superboy

Honor ? Is this something edible ?

Two bodyguards ? So semi-competence times semi-competence returns quarter-competence. You're screwed. @13org

After a bit of google-ing, I could see it. I never played Dragon Age 1/2 so far, planning to do it when I've time.
