You begin rousing the rabble, but it appears that the majority of them just left with the promise of hot wives. Your hanger-ons are fully enthralled by you, however.

[Ochita]

Look for a nobles child and convince him that buying a unicorn is what he wanted, plus it would make him soo popular with the ladys.

[Samthere]

Gar: Returns to Ertal, laughing. "Those folks are happy with their new hot wives! An' ye'll be happy without!"

[Shade-o]

Ochita

You are determined to help the stabler, even if it means accosting a noble. Now, where could a surfacer gain access to one? The tavern! You know that there's always a few bored and rebellious youngsters in there, looking for ways to waste their parent's money. You head there will full confidence, and you aren't disappointed. There are barely any peasants in here, and there are several comely noble lasses hanging on the arms of a charming dwarf.

Samthere

You return with news of your escapades to Ertal, and he's quite relieved. His family will take a while to organise another marriage, and even if he doesn't find another way out you've bought him a few months of peace. He asks if there is anything he can do for you (within reason, harrumph)

[Ochita]

whisper to the man that unicorns bring all the girls to his home. Theres one for sale...

[Lillipad]

There's no time to get a good shot with a flame bolt, so I'll just take out the goblin first, and continue firing bolts at its head. I'll have Kas join me in the missile assault so we can at least slow it down, and have the crew/recruits brace for impact.

[Samthere]

Gar remembers something and his eyes light up, "Actually, now that ye mention it, there is! Rumour has it that the Nimen House is in possession of Zanorzekrim Abirsombith, the legendary black bronze right gauntlet. If I could so much as hold it for long enough to take some notes, perhaps I could learn something of its quality!"

[FuzzyZergling]

I think that it is time to leave, before I become altogether too popular with the local rabble/law enforcement.
I ask one of the splendid ladies if I may have the pleasure of returning to her abode.
(Go for one closer to my stature, high noble girls are just too high maintanance)

Darn, I should have known that no true dwarven man would rather be out enciting class revolt when there were hot wives for the marrying.

[CoughDrop]

Took me about 3 hours of guitar playing while looking over the character development to finally decide...

Ahh, another magic-touched.

[CoughDrop]

Head over to the storeroom and try and chat up the Merchant/Guard.

[Shade-o]

Ochita

You approach, and attempts to market the unicorn to the dwarf in the middle of the throng. He brushes you off, and leads away a nice servant girl. As he leaves, he kindly recommends to the noble ladies that a unicorn is indeed the epitome of class. You are immediately crowded by them, demanding to know where they can find the unicorn.

You decide to get the goblin first, since it seems to be directing the troll. You fire off a shot, though it was difficult with the rocking and the bobbing. You hit and mangle the right lower leg, making him howl in pain but not knocking him off. Kas fires too, with a perfectly aimed shot that hits him in the right hand.

You fire again, but the shot goes low and hits the troll in the chest. It scratches the tough hide, but the troll isn't bothered by the pinprick. Kas fires once more, and hits the goblin in the right hand again, completely mangling it, making him drop his club that he was using to thrash the troll. Your other recruits take some initiative in the face of a troll bearing down on them and start hurling whatever cargo they can grab. Most of the throws fall short, but one barrel hits the troll in the chest, making it grunt as it takes the impact.

As it gets even closer, you and Kas fire at the same time, hitting the goblin in the chest and the right hand, completely tearing it apart. The impacts knock it off the troll, but it doesn't need directions any more and grabs onto the edge of the barge, rocking it unpleasantly as it attempts to pull itself out of the water.

Samthere

"Heartsnot the Romantic Executioner? The pride of my family, smasher of a thousand skulls... Alas, our estate was broken into recently and it was the target of the depredations! The guard have been unable to find those responsible, but I have an idea."

He leans closer.

"Duke Riggoth von Nuremburger has had his eye on it for years. He's got power and wealth, but his family lacks valuable artifacts. His lust for the Romantic Executioner is well know to our family, but his influence has kept him from suspicion. Our family is nothing compared to him, and we cannot take action. You are an unknown, and perhaps you could help me? At the very least you could confirm that he has obtained it."

What caste are you, anyway? I've just been assuming peasant/servant.

FuzzyZergling

You take your exit after assisting that weird guy, accompanied by a comely lass who scrubs floors for a noble. She's enamoured with you, and you head off for some time together.

CoughDrop

The huge dwarf looks like he's been built out of solid steak. You sense that he's trying to prevent you from wandering around the storerooms, insisting that he personally get whatever you request, so long as you wait outside. He seems nervous about something, though it's a mystery what could be worrying someone who could bench-press a troll.

You'll have Novice Thrower/Judge, not Dabbling.

[Ochita]

Lead the nobles to the animal shop, tell them that bidding starts at 400, Whisper to the store owner that I get 20% of the final bid. Commence the bidding war, going up in 50's

[V-Norrec]

We still childhood friends Lilli CoughDrop?

Name: Gar Kenduthal (Destroyer Whimworthy)
Gender: Male
Deity: Aned Luckystep, also offers lesser worship to Agesh and Egul (the three seem like they might naturally act together sometimes)
Caste: Artisan

Skills: Skilled Weaponsmith, Skilled Armorsmith, Novice Bard, Novice Brawler
Good Traits: Concentrator, Brawny, Perfectionist, Social Drinker
Bad Traits: Unaware, Unstealthy, Withering Touch, Needy

Backstory: Raised an apprentice (from the exceptionally young age of 12) to an artisan smith in service to a very wealthy duke; prices were never asked, and the craftsdwarfship was always of the highest quality. As such, was raised with a relatively small amount of work, which was very highly paid, and had a lot of free time and resources to booze, wench, gamble and generally carouse. He's been in his fair share of bar fights, after which everyone still conscious would drink and sing together and become blood brothers forever until they woke up the next morning with little or no recollection of it.

Shows little interest in armour or weapons below the quality he's used to working with, but has an exceptional interest in legendary works in those categories.

Wants to leave the mountainhome due to the Duke's financial decline (crime rings have, on three separate occasions, stolen his entire throne room), his mentor showing no sign of dying soon and leaving all the work (and money) to him, and out of sheer whim.

Free Items: 1 Forge Toolkit (+1), 1 awesome Drinky Spider Fight medallion, certificate and commemorative ale-stained bag

Yeah, artisan, but can easily pass for a peasant when he's on a night out.

Gar: "There'd be no way I'd be able to sneak in, I'm just no good at that, but perhaps your pocket change and my reputation as an armorsmith could lead his advisors to recommend asking me to ensure its authenticity and condition.."
