So the door is closed then.

Percenier says, with a quiet voice:

"Allright, I don't think its a good idea to simply knock the door. I say we check the back of the building. It would be wise if only one of us went to check out the other side for an alternative entrance... no?"

Percy moves to peer down the grimy, 2ft narrow gap between this warehouse and the next. It is dark and knee deep in garbage, but he is momentarily startled when he realises that there is someone coming toward him -- kicking tins and boxes and screwed piles of filth as he comes on...

Droegan Haffshield, your adventure does begin...

now.


Ket, the promise of adventure 'n glory. Or, leastwise, an honest day's work. That's what they all said, but to tell the truth you ain't seen much of either in the few days since your arrival.

The honest truth is tha place is crawlin' with Snorks as they call 'em hereabouts. Civilised, they say, runnin' around in fine clothes, with pockets full o' silver an' all, but they're all Goblins to you. An that don't bode well to any right minded Dwarf.

Specially since a pair of the rats in tha crowd have just nipped yer coin purse! You've bin chasing tha filthy buggers through these back alleys fer seems like half an hour. Looks like they given you tha slip too, dammit!

Hold on here... who's this?

A tall Man with a weapons on his belt and a load of gear on his back peers down the narrow alley between the oversized shacks toward you. At least he ain't no Snork...

Dorgan

Dorgan sizes up the fellow in front of him, noting the weapons and gear. He slows, but does not stop, his stride.

"Well met, friend. Have ya seen a couple filthy mongrels run by here of late? Two-legged ones, I mean. d**ned ambushers-in-training swiped me coin purse and I've about lost the trail."

Dorgan stops when he's close enough to see the Man's companions, ceasing his oath-swearing abruptly as Josiane comes into view.

"Hellfire and dam... err, beggin' yer pardon, Miss. I nae did see ya there."

A quizzical look spreads across the Dwarf's face as he wonders what these three unlikely yet well equipped companions are doing in the back alleys of Ket.

Percy is surprised to see one of the bearded people. They were not a common sight on his homeland. He says, nearly whispering:

"Good afternoon, dwarf. I haven't seen your ambushers around here, I'm sorry... but I know this warehouse here might be a den of thieves and thugs. My companions are around the corner, waiting as I look for an alternate entrance to this place. Maybe you're lucky enought to find'em in there. Follow me, if you want, but if you don't, please leave quietly."

The crossbowman smiles and then keeps sneaking around the warehouse, paying attention to his sorroundings (and looks up a few times, in case someone's watching him from the rooftop). He now keeps his crossbow loaded and at hand, just in case he stumbles with someone less friendly than the dwarf...

Dorgan nods grimly.

"Don't surprise me ta hear this town's full of thieves, what with all the gobs wandering around..."

The dwarf stands aside to let the Man pass and then falls in behind him, back down the alley.

"Can't hurt to have a look. I'm innit deep if I can't find me coin purse"

At the sight of the Man drawing his crossbow, Dorgan will pull his shield off his back and his axe from his belt.

Off we go then [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img].

We'll check this side, the back, and the other side of the building (basically going around it).

"Goodness!" exclaims Josiane, surprised to see Percy emerge from the alley with a dwarf in tow, but pleasantly so.

"Hail to you, good dwarf! You were robbed, you say? Then I shall do all I can to see the injustice to you righted. It may well prove the thieves lurk within this building. Let us see what we can do to run them to earth."

(O.O.C: Do Percy and Dorgan want to keep scouting alone, Valandil, or do you want Mads and Josiane to back you up?)
