    Out Of Character (OOC): Anyone interested in a storyboard adventure?

    Walking through the doorway of the Empty Bucket Inn, a man of unremarkable grandeur stomps his riding boots on the hard wooden floor. The boots are the first thing that attracts the eye to this man, worn leather boots with highly polished buckles up to the calves. Nothing remarkable to the inexperienced eye, yet significant if you know what a Guilder from the Medoerean Exchange looks like. The man speaks to the Inn's customers with a clear tone of indifference, as if he has spent a long time in the saddle and not enough in slumber.

    "I am looking for a small number of individuals willing to complete a task for me. The pay shall be sufficient for the danger involved, and all questions shall be answered before the contract is drawn." He pauses slightly in thought, his eyelids closing for a moment in exhaustion. "If anyone is willing to indulge me, I will be sitting over there." He waves a gloved hand at a side table.

    A man by the bar, dressed in clothes as black as his hair, looks up. Placing his empty glass on the bar, he slowly wanders over. "When you say sufficient, do you mean the pay will be average, or do you mean I can expect to be well paid for my services?"

    "Please, at least allow me to sit before we discuss this matter" The man falls heavily into a chair, barely registering the sudden violent creaking of the wood. "My name is Davies Huxley, and I am seeking a unique artifact stolen from my employers. But before I begin discussing this matter with complete strangers, please allow myself the courtesy of filling my stomach with food." Davies waves a gloved hand at a serving boy. "And feed my horse as well."

    "Gentleman." Davies continues, [i]"The pay is good. My employers have authorized me the payment of two regents bars for this artifact. To a realm that is but a pittance; but to a man, that is beyond the dreams of most. The danger is large, but nothing that most seasoned veterans cannot handle. Lastly, the location of the artifact is known, being only two days ride from this very place."[i] With the food and ale arriving Davies looks down with gleaming eyes at his meal. He removes his gloves and promptly begins eating, stopping only to speak briefly, "Are there any questions you wish to ask of me?"

    Out Of Character (OOC): I have a few good ideas on getting this adventure moving. If anyone else decides to join in, I figure the more the merrier. Just try and make it a believable entrance into the storyline and i'll be happy.

    Additionally, I’ve just added my Avatar. I’m definitely going to have to change it due to the blatant political slogan, but I’m currently happy with the result. When you see the slogan don’t think communism… think socialism (for the commoners).

    ooc : he will get a better status when he continues the story, we will get to know him better....so more posts, higher status :-)

    Sir Davies, in this tavern you have to be more specific. Often travelers stop by talking big words, and talk about high prices.
    but you seem to be an impressing figure.

    here ([_] have a beer, and tell us your story

    The black-clad man doesn't take a seat, but instead slowly paces around the table looking at Davies Huxley. "So you offer four thousand crowns, a fair sum, but is that each? Or do we have to share this reward with others? For a fair rewards I would be willing to aid this venture, and believe me you need my skills, but if every other adventurer you hire reduces the reward, then I am less certain if I would be involved."

    A lady with long, fair curly hair and a visible blue mark at her forehead, that runs through her hair, watches the persons at the neighbor table. She seems to show interest, but makes no preparations to move over to it. She wears a red robe with silver ornaments of lightning bolts and a 2 feet sized silver symbol on the back. A conspicuous quarterstaff leans against the wall behind her. She keeps watching the scene...

    Davies considers the black-clad man with an inquisitive eye. "I’m sure an arrangement can be made with my employers to increase the payment to two thousand crowns for each individual that partakes in the retrieval." Taking a moment to examine the remains of his meal, Davies takes a breath. "Additionally, there will be treasure along with the artifact that you may claim as your own."

    "Now." Looking at the small man, "two days journey from this very spot there is a small keep in much disrepair. This keep contains a gate to the shadow plane that we must enter." Pausing for a moment, Davies looks at each listening face. "Beyond this gate I do not know where the artifact is. Do not fret though, for I carry an emerald that will track it even in the darkest recesses of the shadow world."
