Candles in the Darkness (IC)

[Qualia]

Talon

Talon makes his way over to the recruiting table, his eyes measuring the solider across the table.

"So why the recruiting fare? Is this an offensive strike or defensive preparation?"

[Croverus]

Kous
The man sitting at the table looks at you and shakes his head.
"No need to be impressing me or nothing. Just fill out this form and we'll call you when we've picked you for a unit."
He ahnds Kous the sheet of paper and moves on tot he next person.

Satrash
Jester chuckled. He himself wears some sturdy leather armor and has a large axe on his back. A handprint of red is placed on his left chest. He looks like he's done some adventuring of his own in the past.
"Over at the table, we just have to fill out some form and they'll call us later to tell us what special group we've been assigned to. Most of the groups seem to be small groups of 5 adventurers."
He heads to the table to go fill out one of the forms.

Darius
The man just gives Darius a glazed look. A slightly younger and more sober man speaks up.
"I think I know who yer talking about. Smelled kind of like a corpse, right? Saw him fill out one of the forms. I think they assigned him to one of the scouting groups, He left yesterday, heading south. a lot of groups are being sent south."

Talon
"We plan to use each group of adventurers according to their abilities. Most are being sent as specialists to hunt down powerful undead that our army wouldn't have an easy time handling. Others are infiltration into enemy controlled regions. And a few are being sent to reinforce our own outposts, or to other cities to assist them."

Darius Kree'a

It took a second for it to click in his head. Then his mouth suddenly popped open. "He was here? Just yesterday? Well it looks like I was wrong. If he has joined then so will I." He stood and patted the man on shoulder. "You've done a great thing for me today" He pushed three gold pieces toward the man. "Get good and drunk tonight." He walked over to an open recruiter. "My name is Darius Kree'a, do you have any missions to the south. I understand an acquaintance of my has been sent south and I wish to meet up with him."

[Qualia]

Talon

"If you're taking the fight to them, then I'll be willing to aid your cause."

he lookd down at the sign up sheet

"At least for a time."

[Arq Kujos]

Kous filled out the sheet quickly, though his hand writing was sloppy. Writing was not stressed in his training. That, and his fingers could barely hold the delicate pen due to the pain his felt when using the pen. The price for hearing the words of a god could be much worse, but every word was paid for in some way or another. He turned in the sheet, which was slightly stained with dried blood from his fingers. Once the sheet was turned in, Kous took a seat and began to wrap each of his fingers to help heal them.

[Duxus]

Satrash Kartela

Satrash quickly fills out the form, and sits back near Jester.

I wonder what will those special forces you said would be asked to do? A small man force in this big of a war... What CAN they do?
By the way; you seem like you have some exprience, were you traveling a lot?

[Croverus]

Darius

"Yes, well his name would be listed up on the wall under the southern division. Those are groups of adventureres being sent to clear out pockets of enemies so that the armies won't be ambushed often by the undead. We still need a hanful more adventurers to send out. The next group leaves in two days."
He hands you the form and a quill and seems to move on to the next person. The stack of signed papers is small, there's only about 15 other papers signed so far.

The man takes your from and adds it to the small pile. He calls on the next person, a young farmhand who looks like he can barely wield the sword he has in a hilt at his waist.

Kous

Your hands seem to heal faster than they normally would have. This is likely a sign of Kord being pleased with you following his wishes, though your hands become rougher and leave white scars for now. The barmaid approaches you, offering you a drink.

Satrash

The half-ord grinned, shaking his head.
"You are one to talk my friend. I have never seen a farmer with armor like yours. Its obvious you've had some experiances you've never told me of. But yes, I used to be a member of a small band of thugs, but that was many years ago. I had a close call when the thugs attacked the wrong kind of people and I fled for my life when our targets turned out to be undead! I settled for a life here as a farmer. But I am eager to go adventuring again!"
He raised his head and shouted out a strong huzzah, which several of the more boisterous adventurers as well as some of the drunks answered back.

All

A number of adventurers fill out the forms until half of an hour passes and the line seems to end. The stack of papers doesn't appear too big for the actual adventurers. Anyoen with some experience was placed in a seperate stack from the fresh meat, and there seemed to be only 30 papers in the stack as three of the recruiters start organizing them into groups. Those deemed "fresh meat" were sent out to get suited up with the rest of the army.

Kous takes the drink and drinks it happily. Thank you, my dear. He tips her a gold coin and slaps her playfully on the butt. His mood has completely changed. Not only has he finally heard from Kord, he also gets a chance to slay his hated foe. Let me know when you get off work. He winks at her and continues drinking his drink.

[WarBrute]

Darius Kree'a

Darius nods and fills out his forms. He pauses before filling out his clan name. He returned the form bearing the name Darius Kiret.

He then headed toward the wall to read the list the recruited had indicated. He glanced back at the bar Perhaps I should give up on any wine

[Duxus]

Satrash Kartela

Huzzah! My friend, huzzah! I hope we'll be in the same group, it'll be an honor to fight beside you!

[Qualia]

Talon

Talon stares at the young farm boy, watching him to see if he has the makings of a warrior, or is just some callow youth who does not know what he has let himself in for.

[Croverus]

The man at the table collects the last application. All the men that had gathered the forms speak and start putting the papers into groups of five. After abotu 10 minutes pass, the head speaker steps forward.

"We have sorted all of you into your respective groups. Those fo you who we deemed unsuited for actual adventuring are in group A through G and will be added to the ranks of the city's militia. The rest of you step forward when your name is called to be recognized."

He begins calling otu names as the groups of adventurers join up and leave group by group to get ready to leave. Finally your names are called.

"The following five names are assigned to Group S. You will be infiltrating enemy outposts to the south, coordinating strikes with other adventuring groups already in the area. Darius-Kiret; Kous Aramantha; Satrash Kartela; Talon of the Broken Tooth tribe; and Jericho Malastio. You may gather your things and use one of the tents set up outside the city to prepare to leave tomorrow morning."

Jericho Malastio is a Halfling dressed in ornate robes, he has two wands tied to his belt and soemthing abotu him seems less substantial than many other people in the Tavern. He stepped forward and looked at the four of you. He seemed a little high-and-mighty.

"Well, let's head to our tent and figure out what we're going to do about these undead. I'm sure you all have your useful talents."

[WarBrute]

Darius Kree'a (Kiret)

Darius' hood was still up. He carefully observed his new companions. A dragon man, a man with claws and a human. He frowned and followed the small man to the tents.

[Duxus]

Satrash Kartela
Satrash observed his new companions. He figured all together they seemed a bit odd, but who was he to talk... He figured long time ago; to first listen a lot, then talk. But that doesn't mean he should be rude:

Good day, I'm the one called Satrash.
And extended his hand in the middle, to see -if any- who would shake it first.

[WarBrute]

Darius Kree'a (Kiret)

Darius looked at the dragon-man offering his.. well "hand." If I plan to fight and die with these people, I might as well know their names He thought. He grabbed the outstretched hand.

"Hello Satrashed. I am Darius. What is you're favorite way to kill the undead?"
