Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 35/35 - AC: 17 - Perception: 15 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: Yes Cinnamon looks at the two elves slightly confused, then her eyes widens as she slaps her forehead: " Oh, that's true! From where I'm from we're don't use family names that much, so sometimes I forget others do!" Noticing the rest of the caravan is starting to pack things up, Cinnamon stands up: " I better start clean this up." - she says, excited about the travels ahead.

Just as the caravan is finished being repacked up, a trio of humans approach from the east. The first is dressed in the finest black leathers, with bejeweled daggers on his belt and a quiver full of arrows with colorful feathers and a delicate bow slung over his shoulder. The second is barely wearing much clothing at all, his chiseled pecs glistening in the sun as he wears no shirt at all, and he has a massive great axe slung over his shoulder. The only armor he wears is a helmet with a pair of horns jutting out of it, one on each side. The final man is dressed in pristine white robes, using a staff for a walking stick, and wearing several rings on his hands and a large jeweled pendant around his neck.
"Forsooth, my brothers!" cries the first man. "A traveling caravan. Perhaps they are in need of the service of brave and experienced adventurers, such as ourselves?" the first asks.

Kysriani turns her attention to the newcomers and frowns a bit. Though, for the time being she keeps quiet to see what happens.

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 35/35 - AC: 17 - Perception: 15 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: Yes Cinnamon instinctively places herself between the newly arrived and her employers, ready to defend them. When she takes a better look, she is a bit reassured by the sight of the white robes of the wizard. " And who would you be?" - the half-kender asks, loudly enough to be heard from where she is, curious to know the identity of the group.

"Oh, we are known by many names," the man in black leathers states. "The Dragon Slayers of Mageholm, the Saviors of Kalaman, the Guardians of Garnet. But in short, we are great adventurers, explorers, and protectors of all that is Good and Right. I am called Bondari Quickhand, treasure hunter, swashbuckler, and stealer of young ladies' hearts. This is Nanoc the Barbarian, unfettered by the weaknesses of the civilized world, the ultimate warrior and a beast on the battlefield. And this is Tim Goldenhand. He's an elf. And a mage."
Tim looks at Bondari with annoyance, hands on his hips.
"Err, and also the keeper of a thousand arcane secrets, each one capable of driving a mere mundane man mad," Bondari quickly adds. This seems to satisfy Tim.

Quevalin - HP: 36\36 - Conditions: None - Active Effects: None
---------------
Quevalin tells the two guards to stay put while he checks what's happening, then approaches the group who just arrived. He frowns at the boisterous presentation given to them and watches suspiciously the three adventurers - especially the elf; the elf seems to receive the greatest share of suspicion and scorn from Quevalin who says in a somber voice that however doesn't hide much the lack of faith the half-elf has in the three adventurers "I would say that such heroes are wasted in defending a simple caravan. Wouldn't be more approriate that you find an endeavor worthy of your bravery and might?"
OOC Insight roll, don't trust these three cabarellos. R8d9vL4g1d20+31d20+3

Kysriani HP:29/29 Sorcery Points: 4 Spells: 4/1st Level, 3/2nd Level Healing Word: 1/1 Inspiration: Yes
Kysriani raiss an eyebrow at the flashy introduction (aside from Tim) even though no one could really see it under her cloak. Something didn't seem right. Were those places mentioned even real? "If you wanted to join up with a caravan, why weren't you within the city when they were hiring for mercenaries?" she asks curiously.

As he approached, he leaned close to Bondari, "Don't mind the elf, stuck up priss he is." He winked a toothy conspiratorial smile, "I heard o' ya though," he nodded towards the suspected wagon's of the Children of Takhisis. "Them's got the most wagons in this train, likely the heaviest coffers if you catch my meanin'" He assumed the proper stance of awe, "Say, I got's a second cousin in Greenest. Ya'll involved in that tussel? Raiders, dragons and such?"OOC: As I try to ingratiate myself with these idiots, I am whispering, so as to be unheard by other's the information I am spilling, trying to get them to pick up on the clue and claim some measure of responsibility for Greenest. Just trying to stir up shit with the Cultists. Either way, Insight check! g22gZwVh1d20+71d20+7

"I would say that such heroes are wasted in defending a simple caravan. Wouldn't be more approriate that you find an endeavor worthy of your bravery and might?" Henry cannot detect any signs of deception from the three. Either they are being honest or they are phenomenal actors. "Simple?" Bondari repeats, incredulously. "Now, now, don't sell these good people short. Listen, we've slain dragons, romanced foreign princesses, fought entire hordes of draconians, and even once faced down a demon from the Abyss! But if you ask me, the good men and women who transport the goods that people need from town to town, under threat of bandit and monsters-- they are the real heroes! Really, you should all give yourselves a hand! Let's hear it!" There's a smattering of confused applause, at first, but it slowly builds as the merchants, guards and teamsters all start applauding, some even whistling and cheering at the man's words. Bondari eggs them on, gesturing for louder applause, even giving a couple of bows. Once the applause dies down, Bondari says, "You may well think such work is beneath heroes of our caliber, but I assure you, we would consider it the greatest honor to walk among such brave heroes." Chantilly has never heard of these people, but as far as she can tell, they are being completely honest. Kysriani raiss an eyebrow at the flashy introduction (aside from Tim) even though no one could really see it under her cloak. Something didn't seem right. Were those places mentioned even real? "If you wanted to join up with a caravan, why weren't you within the city when they were hiring for mercenaries?" she asks curiously. Likewise, Eliana has never heard of these three, but as far as she can tell, they are completely honest. "Ah, my lady, we had no idea this caravan was even here," Bondari answers. "It was only good fortune, or perhaps the will of the gods, that we happened upon you all here. But we are heading in the same direction, so we may as well travel together, yes?" "Them's got the most wagons in this train, likely the heaviest coffers if you catch my meanin'" "Say, I got's a second cousin in Greenest. Ya'll involved in that tussel? Raiders, dragons and such?" If these three are lying about anything, Caelin is unable to detect any tells, obvious or subtle. Either they are being honest or they are the best actors he's ever seen. "Well, thank you kindly for the advice, good friend," Bondari says. "We will be sure to check in with them." While Caelin may be whispering, Bondari responds quite loudly so that just about the whole caravan can easily here. "Greenest you say? Never heard of it. But you say dragons attacked it? Then it's a shame that we were not there to thwart their dastardly plot! But alas, even we cannot be everywhere at once." 'And what are you looking for?' "Why, nothing more than good company and perhaps a chance to earn a few extra coins on the road," Bondari answers. Peering into their emotional auras, Zakkoth can sense they are excited, but perhaps a bit nervous, too. They seem to be thrilled at working this crowd, and he gets the impression they are used to it and quite good at it. He is fairly certain they are over-exaggerating their great deeds, but as far as he can tell, they are honest about their motives--they just want to find some work and company.

Chantilly "Cinnamon" SweettoothHP: 35/35 - AC: 17 - Perception: 15 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: Yes Cinnamon goes "ooh" and "aah" as they list all their adventures: " Wow, you did all these cool things! Even thought I can't say I ever heard of you in spite of that." Then she looks around to see if any of the merchants seems interested in hiring the group.

Sharq shrug. "Eh. They feels ok to me' Phrasing in a way, he hope his companions would understand that he used his mystic abilities

"In the end, it is really up to the merchants if you are hired or not," Kysriani says. If she was impress with the list of things these men have done, she certainly doesn't show it.

With that, the three adventurers join the caravan, and it resumes its travel northward. The adventurers seem to make friends easily among the other caravaneers, although the cultists do not hire them, claiming they have plenty of good men already. They do wind up speaking to every other merchant, though. Eventually, the sun falls and night arrives. The caravan stops for the night. As there are no nearby towns or settlements or roadside inns, everyone will be camping out that evening. Fires are made, horses are patted down, and camps are built. Day 02 viF9GBcj1d20 1d20
