The Sandy Town

Ryan Anathom & Grogg where paid by the Sandstones Co. to protect a band of 15 dwarves to the new working grounds, so they can set up the work site. Two hours walk into the Lands of Maztica the group is attacked by seven decrepit skeletons. The group tares through them like they were nothing but wet paper. Giving them 250 exp. As they beat down the last Skeleton they see a wizard running away about 50ft infront of them. Thinking with quick wit and deadly accuracy Ryan send an arrow fling into the wizards knee. Stopping him in his own tracks. Grogg the rather large orc gallops feverishly on his Warpony towards the wizard. After Grogg tortured him for mer minutes the wizard told him everything. That he was forced to send the minions to try and kill them so they would not reach the site. Ryan uses his diplomacy skills to get the wizard apreantice as a companion to help kill his master, aslong as they save his little sister. Who is being held hostage by his master named Thrum S'iv. As they walk near the town The Wizard apreantice tells them his name is Maziti Dawn. That he knows the town well as it is where he grew up. Grogg tells Maziti to take them to the nearest BlackSmith that can masterwork his Khopesh. Maziti Leads them into a fearly large open warehouse building. As they aproach the building they hear what sounds to be beautiful music being played by a female. When they walk in they see a woman sitting on a stool in the corner playing a lute. She has Golden flowing hair, she is wearing a green silk dress that shows  her slim figure and her elven lineage. There is a humanoid figure pounding away at a white hot sword. Grogg deducing that the man is most likely to be the blacksmith walks up to him. Seeing the man up close Grogg see that this man is rather large. "I AM GROGG!!", screams Grogg. The man looks up and tosses the sword in an oil  bath just to the left of you. He lifts up what looks to be a helmt made with metal, leather strap, and a weird black looking glass. As he lifts the mask you see he is an orc with almost no scares and rounded teath to make him look more human. "Sup.", Says the orc. "Grogg want you to masterwork khopesh." "Ok it will be.... about... 150gp." "Grogg say 100gp and you get to live." Grogg says clearly. As he says this four Orc Hulks step forward and stare him down. "Want to try that again? Now my names Samson and I can Masterwork that khopesh. But it will be 150gp." "Grogg says 125gp and you get to sleep with dwarf." Pointing at one of the Dwarves listening to the music. "Do you see the fine Elf sitting in that chair. She is my wife. I would never cheat on such a beauty as her. But I see you might be a little short on funds so how about this. It will be 140gp and Ill set you up with a free room for the day at the Drunken Sandworm Inn?" "Grogg ok with that." As the group walks up to the tavern they see a man drunkenly stumble out of the door tumbling down the two steps of the tresh hold. The man laughs as he trys and fails to get up. Walking in they see a bard playing an ispirational song that fills you with joy and the urge to dance. The 15 dwarves start to party and be marry in the inn dinnig hall. The barkeep is cleaning glass and wooden mugs alike. There are men sitting at a table of six eating what looks to be a feast of chicken and vegtables. Grogg walks up to the bar keep as the men at the feast roar with laughter. "Grogg want room on the Blacksmith name Samson." The bar keep puts the wooden mug down and asks, "How long did he say?" "Samson says day." "With a party the size of yours ill put you in the attic. Its about the same size as this hall and has four large beds." The bar keep say while sliding Grogg the key to the room, "The room is 200gp a week after today. My names Naldo Thar. My wife is the cook if you need anything just say and it will be sent right up." Grogg hands the key to the drwaves and yells,"Go stay in room. We will head to sit when done." The dwarves race up stares ready to eat and sleep. As they race away Grogg speaks with the bard. "What are you?!" Grogg screams. "I'm a bard. Human. Why?"€ "Can you do anything cool?" "I can inspire you, heal you and bring terror to my enemy's." "You come help us or die?" "How bout you tell me what we would be doing and Ill tell you if it's worth it." "We are killing evil man in catherdrall. He tried to kill Grogg and his warpony." "Oh, that ass hole. Fuck, Ill help you for free. That jerk has been sending Undead Hulks into town randomly for weeks. I'm Fi Ins." "Good." Grogg says while clearing off a table and laying down on it. As Grogg is interacting with the Fi(Fee) Ryan Speaks with the bar keep about a possible map of the town. And that is where we leave off. Until Next Tuesday.
