Walking On A Dream IC
A Dungeons & Dragons RP
OOC

Dark times have fallen over Tethyr once again. Struggling to find their way, the people have been leaving their homes, trying to abandon what had become of Tethyr. Yet, some cannot or refuse to leave. They will not leave their homes, only to fail elsewhere. Thus, this is where your story begins. You are an adventurer, hearing the call of the people of Tethyr. Many speak of the undead coming into homes during the night, screams piercing the air momentarily until all is quiet. Is this all an illusion? Are there really problems afflicting the people? That is up to you to find out.

It is told that in the village of Lhaeo, there is one that knows information. They say that he is the oldest of the village, a man that has seen the growth of the village from just his home to a bustling little hovel for people to live in. Each night, in the tavern he speaks of demons swooping in when the fog sets in the night. Is he speaking the truth? Has old age claimed him, turning him insane? This is up to you to find out.

Lhaeo can be located near the Starspire moutains, where the Sulduskoon river splits off.

The village of Lhaeo is small, only containing a dozen homes, a tavern, a small barracks, and the magistrate's home. The area is mostly surrounded by forest and farmland, animals roaming about where they please. In the distance the nearby mountains can also be spotted. The village itself is surrounded by a wooden palisade and a moat outside of that. A few Kingdom soldiers are in the village, mostly keeping to the barracks, palisade, and the tavern. The townspeople themselves generally keep to themselves, yet a few can be found in the tavern. The tavern, the center of the village and attention, is run by Haedrak. He is a strong muscled man, his golden haired massive beard and bald head generally gives him away, if you had not noticed him by the fact that he towers over many people by a head. Yet, in this tavern is the oldest man of the village, the man who founded it himself. Lhaeo is quite old, yet intelligent in his own way. If an adventurer were to stumble into him, the man would speak tales of screams in the night, of families in the outer fringes of the village disappearing. He blames this on the wizard that lives in a cave to the north, claiming the wizard practices dark arts.

Geert is traveling from his home town in the mountains. The path he takes just so happens to go through this town and when he reaches it decides to rent a room and spend the night. Only after he has a few drinks and meets some of the people of this fine town in the tavern.

[Trulant]

Grun left his home, for reasons unknown to even him, and makes his way towards the first group of houses he sees. After entering the village, Grun goes straight for the tavern.

[Landenburg]

Seeing the dwarf few mugs into his ale, the Tavern keep decides to strike up some conversation with him. A few minutes later and Grun the Hermit appeared in the village. Chuckling, the man called out to him and said "The first one is free Grun, should ye be inclined."

[Blobovia]

Ylva Hrafnir was tired from a long journey, so when she reached the village she immediately went to the tavern. She walked up to the counter.

"Innkeeper! A glass of wine and a room for the night, please!"

[Jeremy Beaver]

Geert seeing the mountains far away from the village almost immediately reminded him of his mountain home as he walked in. He had been gone from his home for a long time now since his journey.

Geert went inside the Tavern and took a seat near the entrance near some other people.

[Landenburg]

"Rooms are about 10 copper coins, the first drink is free. That sound alright?" the Innkeeper asked Ylva.

[Jeremy Beaver]

Overhearing that the "First Drink is free" he got up from the table and went over to the bar next to Ylva "First drink is free you say? Oi ill have one!"

[Landenburg]

Overhearing that the "First Drink is free" he got up from the table and went over to the bar next to Ylva "First drink is free you say? Oi ill have one!"

"Indeed it is! Would you like some mead? Brewed it meself." the Innkeeper responded to the dwarf smiling.

"Yes I would, fresh please." He said has he climbed on to a Seat.

"Yes I would, fresh please." He said has he climbed on to a Seat.

"Zaranda! Bring me a mug of the ale!" he called out to his daughter, as she quickly scurried into the room from the kitchen with a mug. She put it in front of the dwarf before quickly retreating back.

[Trulant]

Upon seeing the Innkeeper give the dwarf his ale, Grun the Hermit walked over to the counter, making stating "Ale."

[Landenburg]

Upon seeing the Innkeeper give the dwarf his ale, Grun the Hermit walked over to the counter, making stating "Ale."

Haedrak only chuckled and called out "Zaranda! We'll need another mug!". While she brought the mug, he asked with a grim look on his face and asked "You all wouldn't be adventurers would you?"

Haedrak only chuckled and called out "Zaranda! We'll need another mug!". While she brought the mug, he asked with a grim look on his face and asked "You all wouldn't be adventurers would you?"

Geert looked at the others quickly and turned back too Haedrak. "No why do you ask?"

[Landenburg]

Haedrak only chuckled and called out "Zaranda! We'll need another mug!". While she brought the mug, he asked with a grim look on his face and asked "You all wouldn't be adventurers would you?"

Geert looked at the others quickly and turned back too Haedrak. "No why do you ask?"

Pointing to an old man in the back of the Tavern he said "Feller there has been trying to talk to every foreigner in this village he sees. Claims somethin' bad's happenin' here. I think he's gone looney, families are just leavin'." he said shaking his head.

The old man blew a puff of smoke from his pipe and looked out from under his hood saying, "They wouldn't leave their things, their animals. I knew Jerik well, nothing would get him from 'is farm. Bad things prowlin' the land boy,"

[Trulant]

Grun stares at the old man for a long while.

[Aquesta]

Ullarsh had been wandering aimlessly through the mountains. He didn't know how to read a map and didn't have a clue where he was. After walking around aimlessly he spotted a small village. He quickened his pace and after entering the village headed straight to the tavern as he was parched and needed a drink. When he entered he saw the barkeep giving out ale. He walked over to the counter saying
"Oye give me ale"

[Landenburg]

Grun stares at the old man for a long while.

Lhaeo stares back at Grun and grunts at him, taking another big puff.

When the half-orc arrived, the Innkeeper had a drink ready for him seeing the influx of travelers out on the road today. He handed it to him quickly.

[Aquesta]

Ullarsh grunts and grabs the ale,pulling his helmet off with his free hand he sets it onto the counter. After talking a long swig he belches and asks.
"Any job here?"

[Jeremy Beaver]

Ullarsh grunts and grabs the ale,pulling his helmet off with his free hand he sets it onto the counter. After talking a long swig he belches and asks.
"Any job here?"

"If your interested apparently someone has a problem. And they are in this tavern" Geert points to the Man.

[Landenburg]

Ullarsh grunts and grabs the ale,pulling his helmet off with his free hand he sets it onto the counter. After talking a long swig he belches and asks.
"Any job here?"

"Well, like I said. The old man back there is trying to get people to check some things out for him. I think he's a nut but you could always try."

[Aquesta]

Ullarsh nods and grabbing his helmet from the counter;walks over to the man indicated.
"I hear you have job"

[Jeremy Beaver]

Ullarsh nods and grabbing his helmet from the counter;walks over to the man indicated.
"I hear you have job"

Geert finishes his drink and puts it down with a somewhat loud thud. "Well im always up for a challenge" Geert hopped off his seat and Followed the Half Orc to the man "Im interested aswell."

[Trulant]

Grun begins to ask the innkeeper for another free drink, but decides to follow the dwarf and fellow half orc to the man.
