It is clear and unseasonably cold. After some bribes and, well more bribes [CHA 10 and 9, respectively, 1d6=3GP more] in some unseemly establishments, they learn the location of Dristur's hovel. A short walk eastward along the lake shore and they come to a clearing, just as described a small wooden shack with a single door facing the water. The bright, third-quarter moon illuminates a large fishing boat, tied up along a wharf nearby. It appears to be big enough for the party and all of their supplies. There is a dim light within the shack, as seen around cracks through a shuttered window. Smoke rises from a small chminey to the rear. Occasional sounds of movement can be heard within.

You hear a clattering and the door opens to reveal a very large man holding a spiked club at his side. You're not sure what is more unsettling, his bald head, piercing green-eyed gaze, or sheer size. From his appearance and the smell of fish emanating from the hovel, you decide this must be the right place. He looks you over, then speaks. "Elf, eh? Whatta you want? And you brought some friends. 'Ol Wizzel's been talkin' about me again at the waterfront, I see. I'll settle with him later." Dristur - he must be Dristur from how he was described to you - seems unaffected by the sight of three armed companions at his door.

Fistbeard says, looking up at Xavward. "I was about to think ye had no guts." Fistbeard then turns his head to Dristur, "Ye must be the fisherman. We're here to ask ye if ya'd be so kind to help us out. See, there was this lad we met at the bar, and his lass. Their wagon was attacked by goblins and shadow-creatures. He said that his wagon was attacked up here- " Fistbeard shows them the map- "Coming up by boat on the river here would be best, we think." Fistbeard, satisfied with his explanation, puts the map back. "Would ye be so kind to help us find closure for this lad who attacked his dearest love by offering transport on yer boat?"

"I can't say it's th' first time I've 'ad to offer the services of m' boat, but on such short notice...I'd be needin' some renumeration, and I can't bring ya back. I may not be afraid of no gobs but I ain't foolish neither. I'd say two gold per and meet me here just afore sun-up. I figure I can get ya there after noon. If that'll be all?"

The Fisherman's Hovel DATE: 31-Aug-13 15:46:49 HOST: iceland Walking back along the lake shore, you come to the edge of the wood. The dim lights of the waterfront establishments can be seen ahead. You hear a noise in the underbrush off to your right, then snarling. The Elf's sharp eyes pick up a charging beast - a wild boar! _,-""""-..__ |`,-'_. ` ` `` `--'""". ; ,' | `` ` ` ` ``` `. # ,-' ..-' ` ` `` ` `` ` ` |==./ ,'../ ^ ` ` `` ` ` `. ; `}_+/|- _ . ` \ ` ` __ ` ; |/---"' `-`. ` \---""`.`. `; \\` ; ; `. `, ||`; / / | | //_;` ,_;' ,_;" You all barely have time to bring your weapons to the fore as it attacks, leaping at Fistbeard, the beast's sharp tusks ripping open his thigh.

Fistbeard looks ready to show this boar why you don't anger a dwarf as he swings his Heavy Mace in retaliation. After his swing, Fistbeard will attempt to move behind the two stronger fighters and assume his support role. (On a personal note, that boar must have aimed pretty low to hit my thigh) (24)[ to follow thread, (R)EPLY or (Q)UIT ] TACKER: spk (Steve) SUBJECT: .. The Fisherman's Hovel DATE: 01-Sep-13 21:07:30 HOST: iceland ** Xavward, Elf Fighter ** I set myself with my spear, not wasting the time to grab my shield from my back and giving the opportunity of a free attack. I'm going to attempt to attack with my spear hand to hand, rather than throwing it as it charges again. (29)[ to follow thread, (R)EPLY or (Q)UIT ] TACKER: slugmax () SUBJECT: .. The Fisherman's Hovel DATE: 02-Sep-13 15:35:17 HOST: iceland You recover from the surprise attack and stand ready - Fistbeard meets the beast head-on with a wild swing from his mace that misses the mark. Xavward comes a bit closer with his spear, but just nicks the boar's side which seems to enrage it even more. Paidoboron, with a great yell to his ancestors, puts his strength to use and impales the beast with his harpoon. It slumps to the dirt, quite dead. - [initiative rolls 6,6,6 for PCs and 1 for the beast .

"Bloody heck is gonna be a mess to clean up. Hopefully I can get me some bandages back at the Inn so I can clean this up." Fistbeard slowly limps along thepair of fighters back to the Inn. Once there, Fistbeard will clean out his wound and pack it with bandage so it will heal up. (11)[ to follow thread, (R)EPLY or (Q)UIT ] TACKER: spk (Steve) SUBJECT: ..
