Dark & Dangerous: Episode II Moments later that evening a small group is gathering at the counter...
Traveller: "Pala, I'm searching for Princess Merwenna, have you heared anything about her on your travels?" "King said she has disappeared and is offering a great reward"
Paladin: "I'm afraid I haven't heard of anything about her"
Bartender: "Brrraaah...someone is always looking for something here...A demon! A Princess! A woman upstairs is missing her expensive pendant she's searching now. Some looking for love some searching for glory or whatever..."
Tiefling: "Ahem"
Tiefling: "Sorry if I'm interrupting, but...I've been looking for my good friend. She stayed at this place three days ago and I have not heard from her since"
Bartender: "..."
Bartender: "I'm gonna tell you all, you won't find anything you are looking for here, except a damn good stew and a quiet rest. You all should take a room for the night and get a clear head...and then you can look elswere for your problems - I don't need them"
Redhaired Lady: "Well, he isn't totally wrong...it's becoming late and you shouldn't go outside in this area at night anyway"
Bartender: "Aah, someone with a little bit of sanity here"
Tiefling: "Pala, my friend told sth about a demon before she left. Maybe you can help me looking for her she has more information for your case!"
"But...to be honest, she's a Drow and doesn't like Paladins much...but for a drwo she has a good heart you know..."
Pala: "Well if she is in danger, which is real possible, I will help, no matter what her beliefs are - and if I get more information all the better!"
Tiefling: Oohww really?! That's so awesome, you have a great heart! My name's Cindana by the way!
Cindana: But one more thing, I've been meaning to ask you since I've seen you, that cape you are wearing...it reminds me of the one from Darth Vader but it suits you well
Pala: Darth who?!
Traveller: (whispering) "Mylady, we could share a room to save some gold, what you think?"
And so our little group is ending up at the Inn over night
Will they find the Demon? the Amulet? Cindana's Drow friend? the lost princess?
The adventure has just begun...
...and it is still dark and dangerous
PS:
Maybe I should move the whole thing to the comic section. Because it is getting a bit longer than intended (part 3 is coming soon, too)
