DaemonCorax Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 Our protagonist looks up briefly. The stew bowl is mostly empty and the bread rapidly disappearing. She shakes her head and carries the end of the bowl and bread over to @WolfDreamer's familiar. He gives her a snuffle and accepts the gift. "Keep half a nose on that for me, ok?" she says, gesturing at the pack. The pack wriggles. The wolf raises an eyebrow as if to say he's seen stranger. 6 Quote Previous Challenge: DaemonCorax approached the ridgeline (2022 Level 1 Hunter: STR 23; STA 29; DEX 11; CON 14; WIS 22; CHA 4.)

Skywalker Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 The door cracks slightly and a small shy creature slinks in, trying to be unnoticed. Notices the strong coffee aroma and a little confused. Is this a Tavern or a coffee shop? Well in her home town they are pretty much intermingled, so it does feel like home. Unsure why everyone is rugged up against the cold, feeling quite comfortable in her thin robe. Taking a deep breath, better get this over with, head high heads to the barkeep. I'll have a cider - and hold the coffee. Looking around nerviously at the folks who all seem so confortable here, takes a stool at the end of the bar to watch the interactions of the locals. 10 Quote Skywalker Progress woot: Skywalker's success Character Profile: Skywalker Blog: Just Get Moving Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.

Elennare Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 The door opens and a wood elf shambles in, soaking wet. Noticing the puddle she's leaving, she stops to hang her cloak by the door before proceeding to the bar, ordering a large non-dairy chai tea with a couple shots of espresso in it, and then promptly falling asleep in a chair by the fire. Hello fellow Nerds! I had a mostly good but very stressful holiday, during which I did not sleep well at all, so got zero chance to recover during my break from work. Now I'm back to it, just as tired and possibly more run down than I was before the holidays. So, I am not going to be charging head first into the new year, but easing into things so I don't kill myself. Here's to a great 2023, however you choose to tackle it! 10 Quote Wood Elf Waywatcher Mandalorian (Assassin/Ranger hybrid) Link to comment
