Aliora bows her head to his introduction "Good day to you as well, I am Aliora. You are correct, I was at the offices to sign up as an adventurer. I was told that someone would come seek me in a few days but you seem to be early, did you bring my mapping equipment like the surveyor explained? Aside from that I would love company on my adventures, I am still not accustomed to how rotten these townsfolk treat me. I cannot control my heritage nor my birthmark but some think I am a spawn of evil and should be burned alive till my flesh melts from my bones."
She exhales slowly regaining control of her temper and continued "I had no idea you were a halfbreed, your features seem flawless and emit instant radiance, unlike myself. I have to warn you, this is my first exploration, I am not yet what you may call experienced so I will let you call the shots since you most likely have a better idea of what we are up against."
Out of Character: I deeply apologise for slow replies, I do check this thread at least once a day but we have lost three employees at work on my rotation leaving us short. The end result is a lot of overtime for me and if icon hasn't updated by the time I am free to check the game it usually means I have to wait 24 hours before I am free to post again. I am trying to solve this as I feel I am holding you all back.

"Ah well met then Aliora, But I am just a fellow adventurer like you waiting for the day we meet with the person who will transport us to Oleg's traveling post. From there we can meet with others and start our adventure. As far as experience I am not what you would call a veteran of adventuring but I have had a little experience.
KNtoran and Euphoria
As they are speaking, the young serving boy hands Theaton the same dish as Aliora, mutton and vegetables as well a a mug of ale. After two days of good ale, he notices a distinct difference in strength and flavor.
The other patrons go about their own business, but it looks like the boy is attempting to eavesdrop, covering it up by cleaning only the tables near your own.
Out of Character: I would suggest the pair compare supplies, as was Theaton's original plan. I would have liked to role play the interactions, but we may have to fast forward soon.
Trake and Canabusis
Oleg suggests finishing the guest house walls before moving on to the storehouse roof, the building straight ahead from the gate east of the stables. He explains it will be useful now since there will be goods to store, he's optimistic the bandits will be gone.
The guest house is finished by 3 in the afternoon, and about that time a trapper comes in to sell his goods. The black haired human has an unshaven chin and is dressed in leather armour with a linen cloak browned with much dirt, carrying longbow, bear traps, a backpack and two satchels.
Svetlana opens the gate for him, and reveals his name is Mikal, before going off to reheat the vegetables from lunch. Oleg sits with him and chats while inspecting the various pelts and he brought along with some meat and bone, a few flowers, leaves and berries and a pair of glass vials with clear liquid.
Out of Character: TO ALL: As I explained in the questions thread, I may be posting less for the next 2 weeks. Euphoria, I hope you don't feel as bad about your slightly delayed post.
"Lets eat and then go someplace more private to discuss what each of us can bring on this adventure so we can possibly plan for any weakness that we may discover. I do not want prying ears to over hear our full plans." Theaton then begins to eat his meal.
Shivas continues on with her work instructing Tarak as she goes while in between instructions she asks him about himself. "Where are you from?" Listening though somewhat distractedly while trying to perfect her work. "What does your family think of your decision to join this venture?"
After the majority of the work is done for the day Shivas takes to sharpening stakes for the outer defenses of the small fort.

Tarak works with Shivas around the fort and answers her questions.
"My family owns an estate just about a day and a half ride Northwest of here. We raise horses and other livestock, farm, and hunt to get by. My family gave me there blessings in this venture. They know that the bandit threat is very real, and that I will do whatever I can to protect them and our land. What about you? Whats your story?"
After Tarak and Shivas finish the work around the fort, Tarak helps her sharpen stakes for the defense of the fort.

Shivas looses any happiness that shown in her face having to recall memories that hurt her fiercely. "My entire family was killed by a band of worgs, we too farmed and hunted living alone away from other elves trying to retake the dangerous land and settle it. I was found by the clerics of Sarenrae and taken in. I made a vow to help others the way I had been helped by Sarenrae the dawn flower and her clerics." Glancing into Tarak's eyes as she restated her vow showing such passion, her eyes gleam with her words.
Shaking off such powerfully destitute memories she sets to work with a renewed vigor, right now it was Oleg and Svetlana who needed her help.
After hearing Shivas' story, Tarak looked at her sadly. "I am sorry about your family, and I am sorry that I made you relive those painful memories. You are a protecter now, and you can count on me to stand with you and protect those in need, such as Oleg and Svetlana."
Tarak continued to help Shivas ready the fort for battle.
