Commoner Campaign (group 1)

[Nomadic]

just a quick bump (which I will edit in a few hours) I have to go do some stuff right now.

Update: Sorry, it will have to wait till tomorrow. I have a splitting headache and can't think straight.

"Oi! Another one o you blokes," the man eyes you over a bit. "You any good at haulin' parcels over a bit o distance?"

The dwarf next to him eyes you oddly.
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Gnomish Cheetos]
He doesn't seem to notice you and is making quite a bit of racket. Several other people join you in front of him.

"Ok folks, last call for hauling duty," he gives the market square a glancing around. After nobody steps up he gives each of you a look over. "Well not as many as I had hoped but it will do in a pinch. Ok, follow me." He picks up a hatchet and waves you along. The others line up behind him and follow him north out of the square.

"Nay, thank you. Thank you both." Gregor smiles a bit. "You both look new around here. I have of course promised you food and shelter for the night but I think you could use a bit more than that." He pauses to grab a small wooden box, opening it in his lap. "I might be able to find you some work if you're willing. Won't be fancy, but at least you won't starve."

[ic]What kind of work are we talking about here?[/ic]

[limetom]

[ic=Jean]Jean nods in agreement, "Anything is better than nothing... well... most are."[/ic]

[Loch Belthadd]

[ic=Loch]loch will get in the end of the line and follow.[/ic]

[Nomadic]

Fine, if elemental elf doesn't want to play then poo on him :P

[spoiler=Gnomish Cheetos]
The line weaves along the main road north. You pass a few more merchants and some people going about their daily business. Crossing the bridge out of town the man stops and turns around.

"Ok we're heading out into the woods, I need a few good hands to help haul and chop lumber. Just keep your wits about you." He turns off the road and walks between wagons towards the edge of the woods. The guy just in front of you mumbles something about wolves.
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Limetom & Stargate]
Well around here we're pretty big on lumber and the jacks out in the woods have mighty large stomachs. I have some experience in filling such things but I need some quick feet that can deliver and sell for me. I was thinking about paying a couple of the local lads but you two are probably more trustworthy than them.

[limetom]

[ic=Jean]"Sounds good to me."[/ic]

[Elemental_Elf]

[ic]"Aye, I 'ave much skill in ferryin' goods from dis place ta dat place. It not be a 'ard job," replies Randor as he eyes the man, and the dwarf, over in turn. [/ic]

[ooc] :morons: Ok I must be going crazy! I looked at the thread just yesterday and did not see a blasted post! My eyes are playing tricks on me! Sorry for the delay (again).  :hammer: [/ooc]

[Loch Belthadd]

[ic=loch]Loch shifts his spear around so that he can grab it in case of trouble.[/ic]

[Stargate525]

[ic]"It'll do, I suppose." Tim said, looking down at his hands, "although it's not what I would like, beggars don't often choose."[/ic]

[Nomadic]

[spoiler=Limetom & Stargate]
"Fair enough," the dwarf scratches his face then opens up the box and pulls out a thin cigar, placing it between his lips. He reaches over to a nearby table and grabs a small piece of parchment and an inked quill. "I'll just write something down for ya so my guys know who you are." He scribbles down a note and folds it up, then hands it to Jean. "But lets have a few minutes to relax first shall we."

Lighting a small chip he touches off the cigar and takes a deep puff. Leaning back he sighs contently and then offers the cigar to Tim for a puff.

[spoiler=Elemental Elf]
"Ah good, me brother forgot his gear. Though he's been adle brained ever since the duke drove out them pagans. Smilin' like an idiot n all." The man drops a small wooden crate at your feet, the top is open and within it you can see a large book as well as some priestly garments. "Always did think that church thing o his had him a bit messed up. At any rate, ye take that to him and tell him eric sent ye with it. If he's too addle brained to pay ye just come back here and collect." The man points the dwarf over towards another crate. "Ok bring that one up front so we can unload." Turning back he points off north, "he's up and staying at a small building out with some of the jacks, it's due north of here. Easy enough to find with all the hired help heading out."
[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Gnomish Cheetos]
You head into the woods until the green of the trees completely surrounds you. It's a little eerie but the shade from the sun is nice now that things are getting a bit warm. After a bit the big man stops by a cache of tools and boxes and waits for all of you to catch up.

"Ok lads, simple enough here. Take a hatchet and cut the tree. Cut from one side only and cut at an angle like this," he swings his hatchet up from the ground and strikes the side of one of the trees. "And don't blasted forget to yell out a warning when you make the last cut like the last crew." He waves you over to the tool pile and starts handing out hatchets.

[ic]Randor looks perplexed at the hefty amount of instructions, far more than he believed would be necessary for such a simple job. Randor sighs, "Aye, I can do an dat fer ye. Just up north and follow da road." Randor bends down, hoists up the crate and begins his new adventure with only the smallest hint of a smile showing under the vail that is his beard. [/ic]

[Loch Belthadd]

Loch picks up an axe, walks out a ways, and starts chopping down a tree.

[ic=Jean]Jean takes the paper, glances over it for a second, and puts it in her pocket.  She sits and waits for Tim.[/ic]

[ooc]Oh lol.  I was waiting for Stargate to do something...[/ooc]
