Tarak tells Oleg that he would be more than happy to help out with whatever needs doing around the fort.
"If the bandits continue there current trend, then we may be able to surprise and overcome them quite easily." Said Tarak. At that moment, they hear a voice from outside.
"Hail, Oleg, Svetlana, I have returned!" Said the voice.
Svetlana opened the gate and an attractive Elven female entered leading a horse. Oleg turned to Tarak, "She is the other explorer I spoke of."
Tarak introduces himself, "Good day Madame, I am Tarak Galaveil. I assume you recieved the same charter as I. I was just talking to Oleg about resolving their bandit problem. I was saying that if they return in small numbers, we could lock them inside the fort and ambush them. We would need to keep one alive, however, to find out where their camp is, and dispose of the remaining bandits, otherwise they would just send an even bigger group. What do you think?" Tarak notices the Elf's robes and asks, "Are you by chance a healer? I suffered a nasty wound yesterday from a boar attack."
Aliora opens her eyes to be blinded by the bright light against her unadjusted eyeballs. Sitting up she holds her head upright with both palms, her elbows bluntly positioned on her knees. "What a splitting headache.." She grumbled to express the pain that she could only compare to falling off a mountain head first onto a solid iron slab.
While not in the best mood she slowly climbed to her feet feeling sick to her stomach and looked around the room "W-what happened last night?" She asked to anyone who might respond before stumbling uncoordinated into the wall beside the fireplace. She stopped and gripped hold of the nearest ledge to balance herself and catch her breath.
Shivas overwhelmed by the new mans greeting as it came as a surprise, she enters the gate looks to Oleg and Svetlana quizzically as if to ask their opinion of the man with a look. Not wanting to be rude to the kind gentleman she says her greeting in return while leading Brute to the stables.
"Well met, I am Shivas Shanti.... Beg your pardon but I have just arrived and need to tend to Brute first." She says kindly as she walks Brute to the stables to tend to his needs, only stopping for a moment to embrace Svetlana in greeting smiling brightly to see her once again and in good health. "I am glad to see you're well" As Svetlana assists Shivas with brute they head to the stables, Shivas nods her head in greeting towards Oleg as they pass.
Brushing Brute with her fingers lovingly she tells him, "Well done my friend, I am so proud of you.... You are so fast, you have gotten us there and back. Now you may rest." Brute nudges Shivas with his returned love and nickers softly. Turning to Svetlana she whispers to her asking her opinion of the new charter holder. "Do you think we will be able to gain his loyalty in our endeavors?.... I have much news to tell you and Oleg but I will speak of it later in privacy until Tarak's motives can be distinguished it is not safe to speak of such things." After brushing down Brute and seeing that he is content Shivas heads to tend to the new charter holder.
"Tarak is it?, come lets take care of your wound." She says as she smiles kindly and with sympathy in her eyes. Shivas channels her energy and everyone within her thirty foot radius feels a tingling within their bodies and see's a shimmering of the air around them. Tarak looks down to his wound and finds it has healed over quite nicely no longer requiring a bandage.
"Now that is done..." Shivas says with a pleased smile on her lips, she looks to Tarak and continues. "As far as the bandits are concerned when we sit down to eat we should discuss this further."
Turning her attention to Oleg trying to decipher any looks he might be giving her Shivas asks, "What needs to be done?"

Shivas is healed completely and I don't know about Tarak but I'm guessing it's pretty close.

Mallius responds, with a wry smile, "Ah, I see. I'll choose carefully next time. I'll cover the bill then," He pays in 3 platinum coins and adds a tip of 3 gold, then takes the paper after it is adjusted. "Oh, the other explorer, firstly, it's a her. She's a half-orc from what I can tell, and has a curious third eye on her forehead. She's well built and has dreadlocks black hair and wears robes. You will be able to recognize her straight away if you see her, but I have no idea where she's staying. It's a big city, I wouldn't know where to start. I am busy and I really must go!" He calls out for a horse to borrow and walks out the door, attended by a waitress.
The innkeeper apologizes, "Sorry about that, but it's happened too often that people just leave when they can't pay the bill. Usually they don't last long after that"¦ I mean, that the word goes around quickly and nobody deals with them, nothing ominous. Well you're paid for for two nights and have 2 gold left on top. Hope you've enjoyed your stay so far." He smiles wryly and goes back to work, leaving you to your own devices.

Oleg had moved to introduce Tarak to Shivas, but was outpaced by the energetic fighter. From what Shivas can tell, Oleg looks seems supportive of both of them being there.
Svetlana replies in a whisper, "He seems friendly. We are happy that he agreed to help us with the bandit problem. He looks to be an honorable, generous guy, quite strong too."
Canabusis and Trake
Shivas heals Tarak's two wounds, one now just a scratch, the other still a gash (He is still on 4 damage; 1 had healed overnight as well). Svetlana remarks "Such miraculous power! You are very generous to not ask for a tithe in return."
Oleg looks to be approving of the teamwork he can already see and replies to her question, "Show us your woodwork, Shivas. Show Tarak how to fix up the roofs, I am a bad teacher, and, well, he's not a master craftsman either." He laughs heartily.
Out of Character: If you wish to continue working, Shivas can give me a Craft(Carts) and Tarak an Aid Another using his Intelligence modifier.
Euphoria
In response to Aliora's question, a few of the nearby men snigger but refuse to answer. The middle aged innkeeper supports you over his shoulders and seats you near the bar counter. "You drank far too much mead last night. I'm surprised you weren't sick all over my floor, you're a tough girl. It's probably the heritage. You also started drinking far too early before sundown and on an empty stomach. Was that your first taste of alcohol? I'm only asking since you did it all wrong."
He slides over a half mug of mead, "Trust me. It'll help clear your head. I'll get some food too. But you have to promise me to pay for a room and" He leans in close, whispering "Take a bath, please. You're not doing good to the image of your kind. Rooms are 2 gold or the common room is 5 silver a night. Luckily others paid for your drinks; you would have racked up a charge of another gold piece for your twenty mugs."
"Oh, and steer clear of Erik," He points to a blonde, bearded man of average build. "He tried to grope and kiss you last night. You might not remember pushing him under a table, but he's weird, I think he enjoyed it."
Looking past Erik, Aliora also notices out of the corner of her eye a figure sitting in a dark corner. It's the poor woman from the temple observing you from the corner of her eyes.
"That feels much better, your healing powers are truly miraculous. Thank you Shivas." Said Tarak. He then responds to Oleg's request to continue working."I am eager to learn, my father and brothers did most of the woodwork back home while I tended to the horses, hunted, and took care of any threats. It would please me to show them a thing or two when I return."
If Shivas wants to work around the fort, then Tarak will listen to her instructions and eagerly try to learn as he helps her.

Shivas goes to retrieve her tools and sets straight to work guiding Tarak step by step while trying to make good work of her own hands.
"This board is rotten, we need to replace it" Shivas mumbles more to herself then Tarak. "Hold it there and nail it down...." She instructs Tarak as she hold her own end of the board. "Make sure it's plumb." She continues to remark to him.
The banter of instructions and mumbles of thought with the steady beat of the hammer continue to be heard throughout the day as they work with a purpose.
After a while Shivas notices Tarak favoring his second wound she had neglected to notice hadn't healed perfectly earlier. Replacing one of her prepared spells for the day she casts Cure Light Wounds on Tarak in hopes of finishing the intended healing of the nice man earlier. "I should have noticed your pain earlier." Shivas smiles sympathetically at Tarak.
Having done all she can do for his wounds at the moment they continue with their work and the repetitious instructions as they mend the roof.

Aliora's pale green cheeks flood with shades of red as she tries not to express her embarrassment "Well at the monastery we had wine, but never more than a glass or two. This was indeed my first intoxicating experience."
Taking the half mug of mead she held her breath and choked it down as fast as possible. "I will be sure to stay at a distance from him. And about the rooms, I will be staying here for another three nights, I was told to bring back a bill to the surveyor and he will fund me as I am going to explore the green belt." As she catches glimpse of the elderly woman she leaves her table and wanders over beside her. "Hello again, I have not forgotten, here is a gold piece that I owe you" She explained as she slid it towards her on the table. "Now if you'll excuse me I must take a bath"
Aliora would leave and head to her room to get cleaned up for a new day.
"Well it looks like I am staying a couple more nights. I will just take my things back to the same room I had. Then I must see if I can find this other adventurer."
Theaton takes his stuff back up to the room he had and places them back down. He keeps his sword, bow and arrows and heads back down. He will start walking around town checking in other inns to see if he can find this half orc girl with three eyes.
