Northriel Falamir
beserker ;; 23 ;; female ;; dwarf/human ;; location: road to Glaedan ;; tags: open
After visiting her mother and brother down in Jykor, Northriel had decided to take a quick trip to Glaedan, see if there were any minor hunting jobs that needed doing. As she gathered up her belongings, she felt her little brother's arms wrap around her legs and she let out a hearty chuckle, scooping him up and holding him close whilst she promised him that she'd return soon enough. After handing the small child back to her weary mother, she hoisted herself onto Angus' back and nudged the huge cat forward into a steady walk, turning around briefly to wave to what remained of her family.
Sword lain on her lap, she traced her fingers up and down the intricate runes as the morning sun cast a glare straight into her eyes. before long Angus begun the ascent up the winding mountain path as Northriel nodded to the local merchants making their way home. The stones beneath the two crunched and skittered with every step Angus took. As they neared the Tavern, she quickly pulled Angus to the side and slip off his back before heading over to the door of the bar. Surely the tender must have something for her to do?
Arthur von Helsing
hunter ;; 27 ;; male ;; human ;; location: tavern ;; tags: open
He woke up in a puddle of his own drool, several empty mugs littering the table. He groaned and rubbed his head, a throbbing headache suddenly making itself known as he struggled to stand up. The barkeep cast a glance at the man and sighed before grabbing Helsing roughly by the collar of his shirt and throwing him back down onto one of the empty chairs, muttering something about having to care for toddlers- Helsing couldn't make it out. All of a sudden, the morning light jabbed into his eyes as the doors swung open and the morning customers began to make their way inside, chattering at such a volume that Helsign had to rest his head back against the table in an effort to stop it from pounding.
He spent the next few minutes observing/ listening to the people as they milled around the bar. So many conversations were about the behemoth and orcs and other such monsters- it made his head pound. If it bothered them so much why didn't they just sort it out themselve- oh right, they actually had loved ones to care for unlike himself. With a huff, he moved his head to his hand and let his elbow rest on the table, what could he do? It would take more than one measly, drunken hunter to take down the behemoth.
Yawning slightly, he tried to ignore the noise around him and drew a dagger, observing the glint it made.
Alatar
lancer ;; 25 ;; male ;; orc/human ;; location: Thraror orphanage, town ;; tags: open
Alatar had spent the earlier hours of the morning helping the matron out with the many young children of the Thraror orphanage.
as of now, he held one of the babies, rocking it softly whilst the other youngsters charged around his feet. However, once breakfast was served, he relinquished the small being back over to the matron and left the building, not after receiving at least 20 food coated hugs as he made his way out the front door.
It took only took him a few minutes until he had reached the center of town, only to be greeted by one of the early patrols returning bloodied and bruised, dragging one of their wounded behind them like a rag-doll. "what happened?" He commanded, grabbing hold of the lead orc as he stared deep into his eyes. "I thought it was a simple patrol around our territory." Muttering in the mothertongue of the orcs, he watched helplessly as the wounded soldier was heaved into the nearest wagon and carted off to the hospital. "It was supposed to be that- yes- but we were ambushed by the citadel soldiers, we barely made it." The patrol leader gasped and struggled to regain his breath. "I see... go now and rest my brother, the behemoth will deal with this..." Growling like a dog, Alatar turned on his heel and stormed into the stables, he would hunt the soldiers down and slaughter them himself if he could.
