Adventure Within
The day is dreary. You are cold to the bone and your feet feel numb as you have been walking for many days. You move in from the rainy roads of the often busy wagon laden streets looking for a bite to eat and a mug of something to wash it down. It is almost nighttime and your glad you were able to get into the town before sundown. You look up at the sign ‘The Krakens Bite‘. This place just might do. You stumble into the tavern and instantly hear the hustle and bustle of the everyday citizenry drowning their woes away with one of the many brews that Ferecion has to offer.
“Welcome, have a seat by the fire and dry off.” Ferecion says from behind the bar while drying off another mug for the cabinet.
You move over to the blazing fireplace that is roaring with life. The heat feels great on your cold bones and you can just start to feel your feet come back to life through your soaked leather boots. You turn and sit at the table nearest the fire with your back to the corner and facing the large open portion of the tavern. Ferecion walks over and roughly sets down a mug of something and some bread on your table, sloshing it about spilling some of it.
“Eat up and drink hearty tonight.” he says. He pulls up another chair at your table, sits down and starts to chatter away.
You peer into the firelight loosing yourself in thought as Ferecion rambles on not remembering why you even came out this way. Was it to find someone or something? Just as you start to remember you hear a large bit of laughter in the tavern bringing you back around. Ferecion looks at you.
“Are you okay? You seem distracted.” he says as you listen to him ask you let him know you are looking for someone.
You describe the person to him very clearly as Ferecion’s face glows with understanding.
“I know who your looking for.” he points over to a man in the corner sitting alone.
Draped in a cloak with barley his chin visible and puffing away on a pipe. Smoke swirling about his table as if dangling there to hide him. You stand up and without even a second thought and move over toward his table leaving Ferecion by himself. As you get closer to the figure he looks up at you and says.
“Take a seat, we have much to discuss.” The figure kicks out a chair in front of you prompting you to sit.
Then he reaches out grabbing a mug of ale and downing it quickly then placing it back onto the table. Puffing again on his pipe he starts to speak.
“I have been waiting for you for sometime. Let me explain who I am.” You sit back and listen to what the stranger has to say.
