Harknail looked around as he entered the room with the others. He spotted a couple of new faces in the bar, presumably travelers, perhaps off the ship currently docked at the port. His limited knowledge of geography was woefully out of date, he realized he had no idea where people might be traveling from. Where he remembered a large and thriving city, now there was only dense forest with a few small hamlets.
One of the new faces intrigued him, or rather, the crystals she had scattered on the table in front of her intrigued him. Striding toward her the steel plated stone construct introduced himself with his archaic speech, "Well met stranger. I be Harknail. I welcome thee to Moonhaven." He then bowed, which was perhaps more intimidating than intended. But more intimidating to Xi was his eyes, which seemed to be staring at her soul...
Harknail is OLD! And he's been out of circulation for a very very long time, thus his strange manner of speaking. He's also pretty good with insight (especially for a construct), which is what Xi is picking up on.
Tag Xi (or anyone else)

A quick adjust of the way her eyes reflect the light, Xi simply shrugs off the gaze. Just b/c someone has a piercing look about them, doesn't mean they can read her. " Greetings, Traveler. I don't believe I've seen any of your kind around before. Care to have your fortune told? Only a few coins...She gestures to a small bag. Harknail may be insightful, but Xi is so very good at lying.... +13 Bluff vs 18 Insight |

The large chainmail wearing Dragonborn eating soup in the other corner that is Abraxus, looks up and notices a group who are probably the people his brother memtioned enter and go over to talk to a fortunetelling woman he had not really noticed on his way in.
Abraxus watches what happens while finishing his soup.

Then followed up with, " Which coins?" He was still working on the transition from solder, where everything he needed was provided, to adventurer, where he needed to buy things for himself. Dealing with money was still a new thing for him, though he knew how it worked. |

" A few of the gold coins would be fine" she manages to choke out, without laughing. |

"That would be silver, Harknail." A tall thin half-elf wearing leather armor and a green cloak answers. She is carrying a halberd and has a whip coiled on her belt. As the bewitching half-elf scans the room, you can see that she has golden hair flowing down her back and deep blue eyes. streetwise 29, perception 11 streetwise:[dice=20]+10=29
perception:[dice=20]+3=11
The haggard looking half-elf then sarcastically adds, "Of course you might want her to give a demonstration first to see if she can tell you more than you want to hear." Bluff 32 Bluff:[dice=20]+15=32 [rand=9383348198607564374204578576609500690858950838446618528564786538482] |

For now, I'm going to use blue to represent telepathy. To:Laira(unwen) Darn it. The rumors said your team was smart. Guess I'll have to take scam elsewhere. "Well, I never!" Xi's Gypsy form acts gravely insulted, and storms off upstairs. A few minutes later, A dark skinned human woman comes down the stairs, dressed in loose fitting travelers cloths, completely different from what the gypsy was wearing comes down the stairs. She looks around for a bit, notcining all the newcomers. "Looks like a loot ov new berks showed up, eh?" She says to the bartender, before ordering a beer, and Bluff check to figure out that they are the same person [dice=20]+13+5=37. Booh, Yah [rand=93796722732377238783023422630236091780655767130467975083786300622]

Druuk walked into the tavern, taking a quick look around before sitting at the bar to catch his breath from the long walk from the docks from where he arrived. He tries not to bring too much attention to himself, assuming his orcish appearance would cause a stir.

The group with the golem and the elf that had scared the fortune teller away looked like they were the adventuring party Bharash had suggested he look for.
Finishing his soup Abraxus seized the opportunity to go and introduce himself.
A large dragonborn wearing chainmail, with a sword at his hip finishes his meal and gets to his feet. He has obviously spied the group and advances toward them with his right arm outstretched. His facial expression changes as he approaches to what could almost be miscostrued as a snarl but is actually a dragonborn attempt at a smile. He quickly starts trying to shake hands with any of the party that will let him, starting with Laira and HArknail as they seem most in charge.
"Hello there! Are you, umm, Laira and Harknail and company? I am in town visiting my brother and he suggested I come and, umm, help and stuff?"
Finishing shaking hands Abraxus looks around eagerly.
"What are we trying to do then? umm, get rid of fortune tellers and stuff? are they predicting something bad? something we need to deal with? Make the world a cleaner place, thats my motto! If she told you where, umm, whatever it is, show me the way! We'll find new ways to defeat the thing from the future together right?"
Abraxus puffs his chest out looking genuining determined to try and defeat the currently yet undisclosed threat no matter what it may be.

Actually the 32 bluff check was to try to convince the fortuneteller to give a fortune for free.

Harknail was confused by the fortune tellers departure, and more so by the approach of the dragonborn. Still he shook the dragonborns hand with his own two fingered hand. He wasn't missing fingers, he had two larger fingers where other races would have 4 smaller ones.
"I be Harknail," agreed the construct. "I know not what the fortune teller tells, she ran off without giving a fortune. We have slain the dragon that was preying on the Elves. Now we be looking for others that need be saved."

Twinkle frowned for a moment, unsure of how to respond to the woman talking to him. The black orbs of his eyes stared down at the bar, and he ran a hand through his unkempt ivy-colored hair, trying to to think of how to respond. His other hand lightly gripped an ancient-looking dagger on the counter, so lightly he probably wasn't even aware his was holding it. Then, finally, he turned to her, and gravely answered.
I've come to Moonhaven to cast my lot in with some traveling warriors. There's nothing for me anymore where I came from, so I'm looking to just keep moving forward from it.

Paec, the Innkeeper and bartender replied, "Well you came to the right spot for that. This group has saved Moonhaven more than once. First the recovered the lighthouse mirror from wererat goblins, then they saved the whole countryside from a summertime freeze that would have killed all the crops and caused a famine."
Paec had short black hair, an overly thick nose and a deep 'farmer's tan', it is obvious his looks came from his human heritage. Only his slightly pointed ears and soft voice give way to any elven heritage he may have.

"Why don't we go over and introduce ourselfs, for I too, am a wandering adventurer!"She sort of manhandles Twinkle over to the group of returned adventures. "Greeting Adventuring people! and robots! I'm Xi, and this is, well, I don't quite know his name! We're wandering adventures, and we wondering if you needed any more help saving people and making money? |

Lol, Twinkle's a guy. XD
Slightly uncomfortable at the attention, Twinkle averted his eyes from the people looking at him. To be honest, he hadn't really planned out what he would do when he met an actual group of adventurers, but now the moment was upon him, and...
Straightening up, he gave a small, stiff bow. "Twinkle Nevertwice. Nice to meet you."

Druuk looked over at the big gathering of people and the gnome that seemed to be here for some of the same reasons why he was there. He stood up to his full height and walked over to the group, saying nothing. He kept a hand on his sword under his black cloak, and put a hood over his head to hide some of his facial features. Perhaps this was the group he had heard whispers about.
