I just got sick of all the Royal Guardsmen pokin their noses where they shouldn't be, So I had one of his officers turned into a duck, which I presented to the King as a gift, which he promptly had killed and cooked.

Well, that would definately do it. Remind me to stay on your good side though. I would much rather be on the other side of the duck feast.

Speaking of duck! Who here has seen my pet duck? He has gone missing!! Please tell me you didn't mistake him for another, Barbuuuuuus!!!

I know better than to mess with your duck, I remember what happens when you are angry, even this old bastard fears ye.

As for you, I wouldn't worry much about being turned into a duck, the shamen isn't back yet. I cannot change the form of another individual, however I can do other things.... See the zombie like guards at my academy.... I can warp the mind....

Well I like my mind how it is too.

"Pssst... Barbus!" Criani crooks her finger for him to come close. "Thank you, I knew that you truly wouldn't harm him. I just wanted everyone to be aware that I brook no harm to any person, beast or fowl in The Green Dragon's Inn."

"Hmmm... I wonder where he got off to?" Criani muttered as she walks outside to have a look see.

I've lost mine, could I borrow yours?

As long as I get it back by the weekend

I would never borrow another mind, if you seen the things that caused mine to leave you would understand why.

Criani walks up to the newcomer who sits alone near a window occasionally peering outside. "Sir, what may I fetch for you to make your stay here most welcoming."

He speaks softly, so softly that Criani has to lean closer. "A mug of Goblin's Brew, you say?" Nodding her head, with a smile, she heads off to get it.

As she walks back across the room, to bring his drink, she notices that he watches intently out the window now, eyes narrowed. As she hands him his brew, takes his coin and thanks him, before going back to the bar, she nonchalantly looked out the window, but saw nothing out of the ordinary. As she went back to the bar, many thoughts came to her. What is he looking at? What is this man all about? What is his story?

you there in the white armor, come hither.. *the figure in white approaches, Barbus extends a small sack of gold as payment for being a help with the training exercise*

This should cover drinks for the next couple days. You are always a good friend dear Shamen who shall remain nameless.

I thank you kindly sir! He stashes the gold with excitement and looks around at the tavern. I love this tavern very much already. "What shall I do for this gold?" he asks stroking his black beard.

like we discussed back at the academy, or have you forgotten?

*smells a wolf nearby*

after last night no wonder

smells of clean forest aire

*** you cannot comment on a conversation that has allready taken place prior to your enterance *** Sorry ***

Oh yes I remember! Forgive me today. I had a rude encounter with a conjurer on my travels. He had casted a spell of confusion on me. It has slowly worn off. I shall head there now!

*Re-enters the tavern*

Greetings again Barbus, My apologies for heading out so abruptly earlier. I had some buisness to attend to.
