I still don't own Icewind Dale. But I'll get it eventually...heh.
Two men sat talking eagerly at a bar, in one of the Ten Towns, Easthaven.
"So, Jabari, what're you going to do now? We've escaped. It's all over, ya?"
Umm. I don't think I wanna stay here, though. What're the choices, fisherman and fisherman, Mordecai?" Jabari snorted. His companion laughed.
"Don't forget fisherman!"
There was a loud crash, and a bright light that shone in through the rickety door. The barkeeper sighed.
"Looks though them two is goin' at it again. The little elf wants ta go on the expedition, I hears," she told a barmaid. The barmaid nodded.
"But Hrothgar doesn't want Leena to. I think Leena's good enough. She's been practicing all her life here, and no doubt at her old village. Hrothgar's just overprotective."
Jabari and Mordecai glanced at each other, and burst out the door, finding a small crowd watching a woman and a man fight.
The woman had sharp ears, long, wavy black hair and grey eyes that flashed as she fought. An elf. The man had similar looks, except he didn't seem to be an elf. They both seemed to laugh, like they enjoyed it.
The woman cast a spell, causing a flurry of snowballs to form themselves and fling at the man. "Alright, Leena," the man said, taking off his helmet and dropping it on the icy ground. "You win. You can come along." Leena, as she seemed to be called, hopped from one foot to another, and clapped her hands together happily.
"You won't forget it, my cousin. I promise you that." Smiling even wider, she turned, and spotted the two in the crowd.
"Oh! Newcomers. Who might you two be?" she asked. Jabari blinked.
"Ah.Um.." he said stupidly. Mordecai sighed.
"This is my bud Jabari, and I'm Mordecai. Pleased to meet you. Leena, right?" The woman nodded.
"Yes. Pleased to meet you, Mordecai, Jabari." It was apparent that she was trying very hard to be formal and polite, since she flinched at every sentence she spoke.
"..You fight well," Jabari managed to say. Leena blushed.
"Thanks. Cousin Hrothgar and I were arguing for the longest time. I've wanted to come along on the expedition, and he was doubtful about it. He was unsure that I had the skills necessary, and so we settled it by battling. We do it often, but it was more serious this time."
Mordecai nodded. "You're a mage?"
"I'm a jack-of-all-trades. I can do mage and priest magic, sing bard songs, and I can use pretty much any weapon." She eyed them. "You fight as well?"
"Like yourself, we're pretty well rounded. But I mostly use a crossbow as a weapon, and my friend here uses short swords," Jabari said, his nervousness melting away.
"Oh. Would you like to come with me to Quimby's inn? I have a few things to discuss with him. And you two can check in, if you haven't already. He hasn't had many customers, except the elf going with us on the expedition."
"You've mentioned the expedition several times. What. what exactly is it for?" asked Mordecai.
"There's been some trouble down in Kuldahar. We're headed down there to help."
The man, Hrothgar, had listened to the whole conversation. He now joined in.
"Would you be interested in helping us?" he asked. The two men glanced at each other.
"Sure."
A short chapter. I'll make the next one longer. And major Pomab- trashing in the next chapter! It's all about the reviews. R&R!
