((Don't know if you noticed, but Magnus was openly making fun out of Adal. Plus the dwarf feels absolutely no respect towards most people he meets. Drago is a sort of exception.))
- Cheers to ye too beardy!- Magnus laughed and saluted Dragomir with his goblet. Before he drank, Magnus continued to make fun out of Adal.
- I AM INVINCIBLE!- he shouted, dranked the somogon and acted as if he's fainting, humorously sticking out his tongue.
Most other patrons started laughing as well, and Dragomir too started smiling.
- Enough fooling around Magnus. Have a drink and let's go talk to that Darren fellow.

Boolroc laughed along heartily with the rest of the tavern at expense of the half-demon. However his mind was working at the same time, devising a plan to finish the task given to him. He needed to get Darren to the place master Limp would specify later. Which meant that he had to follow the unfortunate sod. Boolroc figured the best way was to join his little treasurehunt.
At the same time, Boolroc contemplated setlling the half-demon's bartab. His winnings undoubtably covered it and it would put the half-demon in his debt. And with that, in the debt of the Thieves Guild. And the reputation of the Guild debt-collectors was pretty unsavory.
Devising his plans, Boolroc stood at the bar sipping his unpaid bitter. He would approach the two adventurers after the Templar, the human, the dwarf and the Kra'San were done.

Another prostitute came and splashed a cup of water on Adal's face.
"Huh, what? Who's dead now?" he mumbled.
"Get up, you oaf!" the girl yelled at him as she kicked his ribs, making the people in the tavern laugh even more.
"Oh, gods be praised, woman, help me up!"
The girl rolled her eyes and helped Adal up.
Adal yawned and cleaned the dust off his tunic and the yelled out, "Alright, people! Drinks are closed!"

Darren smiled galantly, as always. "Well, of course!" he said and put the map on the table, so it was clear to see for the creature, his hand resting on the top of it, just to be sure, itching to pull it away, the minute he suspected ignoble intentions.
"By the way, my name is Darren and this is my brother, Horace. Should everyone look up to standard, then we are looking forward to working with you, miss Quasu."

Quasu leaned over the map and started inspecting it thorough without really touching it. She let her hand glide over the map to help mark the letters she was looking over. "This is indeed wizard writing." she thought "But its not made by Theodorus, that's for sure. Which means the human might be telling the truth. Or at least what he believes is the truth." Quasu nodded to herself and leaned back from the map.
"Thank you." she said "I have seen what I needed to see and from what I can tell, this map is indeed a map made by some wizard to mark the location of something of importance. While I could see that the writing is indeed the wizard..."language" if you will, I am currently unable to find out what it leads to or what the letters mean as I am missing a...kind of password or keyword or "decryption manual" to use a general expression." Quasu nodded to herself "But if we could just find that manual then I'm certain that I would be able to find out what this map says and would be more than happy to join you on your little quest."

Darren smiled, a bit of an arrogant, mocking smile, but not too openly. Yeah, that kind of smile and he said: "Well, just as it so happens, we do happen to have a decryption manual and I can read it clearly." As he said this, he became rather aware of the little booklet in his th inner pockets of his jacket.

Quasu raised an eyebrow under her hood before nodding "I see. Well in that case I would be happy to join you on your journey. And to make a more proper introduction of myself; My name is Quasu, and I'm an alchemist. I can make potions, poisons and other magical drinks as well as some magical items. I also study wizardry, that is to say, stories, languages, scrolls and artifacts made by wizards. If and when we find this vault with the treasures of Zaun, I ask not to have anything of the gold, diamonds, silver or other such items you might find. All I want is free access to study the artifacts, scrolls, books and whatever else of informative value that might be in the vault." Quasu eyed the two men for a moment "Is this okay?"

"Excellent, well, I'm Darren, I know my way around locks and know which end of a gun is which and me and my brother head this operation." he said, "And that, over there," he gestured with the palm of his hand, "Is charles, an ex-soldier or so it would seem."
"And I'm Horace, a blacksmith here in town and Darren's younger brother," Horace introduced himself, not quite willing to offer a handshake or rather a "talonshake."

Quasu nodded in confirmation "I see. I think I might as well introduce me to Charles then. If you have need of me just call." and with a short bow Quasu left the table and headed over to Charles.
When over at where Charles were sitting Quasu looked at the man and asked "Do you mind if I sit down here?"

A bird-person, Charles thought, Kra'san, they were called. Dangerous enemies in the Wizards' War. It's not often you see one wandering around like this.
"Feel free to sit down. My name is Charles. I'm one of the people who's going to follow the map to Zaun's treasure. I see you were talking over there. Will you be coming with us? If you forgive my curiosity, what brings a bird-person to this village?" Charles asked.

"My name is Quasu." Quasu responded and sat down "And yes, I have looked over the map that those two gentlemen have and decided that it is most likely a genuine "treasure map" and will therefore be coming with you on the quest." Quasu responded to the mans second question.
"As for why I am here..." Quasu paused for a moment "...That is really a good question. There is actually no particular reason for why I'm in this village right now, it was just the next destination on my aimless journey." Quasu started scratching her beak and an awkward silence filled the air for a moment before Quasu turned to Charles "While I am thinking up a better answer why don't you tell me your story? Darren there said that you were an ex-soldier. Forgive my rudeness but why the "ex" part? And let me apologize in advance if the subject is sensitive."

Charles thought about what to say, then decided, "I served for eleven years and was honorably discharged. The military had no more need of me, and I of it. I can tell you there were some disagreements about certain policies, but I'm not at liberty to elaborate. They allowed me to keep my equipment, including my griron rapier. Now I'm a 'man of adventure', as they call it."

When the bird-woman left, Obsidian filled in the gap she left. "I hear that you are looking for companions in an adventure, Darren." The templar gave a small, formal bow. "If it please you, I would like to offer my services. I care not for the destination, nor the pay, and would be a valuable blade in your services." He hesitated, still partially dipped forward, "That is a proper introduction, is it not?"

The Templar looks at it suspiciously before giving Darren a firm handshake. Perhaps a bit too firm... as evidenced by a few cracks. "By the Light, you people are fragile." Obsidian mutters, activating the rune on his hand again to re-locate a few knuckles. "I hope that my clumsiness did not cause you too much harm?"

Darren wasn't as much of a manly man as Swain as was demonstrated by the torrents of air he blew through his teeth and the shivering of his arms, when he shook hands with the creature. "Firm handhake..."
As Obsidian loosened the grip and reset the bones, Darren quickly pulled his hand back. "Okay, I won't be shaking hands with the Templar anymore, then... Still, glad to have you with his." he said as he mastered a rather painful smile.

Obsidian bowed again and walked back to his stool next to Charles and Quasu, being sure to step on Adal's toes on his way back.

"OW!" yelled Adal as Obsidian crunched on his feet. He frowned for a second and his fractured bones quickly reset and healed themselves. "Ahh, much better."

Boolroc let the little vial of coloured liquid dance over his claws. He had swiped it from the robed Kra'San when it was lost in thought earlier when he passed when he followed Limp to the rooms upstairs. He had noticed the bird-person when it came in. The hooked beak was enough to make him suspicious, and when he had his hand in it's pocket, the hard feathers were enough to tip the scales.
Boolroc made the vial dissapear again. The Sobekan called the barkeep over.
"Out of curiosity, what's pretty boy's bartab upto now?"
"Including the drinks he bought everyone?" the barkeep asked. Boolroc nodded. The barkeep counted everything visibly up in his head. "120 duccats and 5 florins. I don't know how much he owes the courtesans."
Boolroc would have smiled, had he lips. He had won more than enough to cover the tab playing cards.
"Hate to see an honest businessman lose money, I'll cover his tab."
The barkeep eyed Boolroc strangely. "Are you sure about that, he doesn't look like the sort that pays anyone back."
"Don't worry about it. We're old friends." Boolroc lied and tossed the barkeep ten golden dubloons. "Now refill my bitter and make sure pretty boy doesn't go thirsty either. Don't let him buy the rest of the bar drinks again, but if his lady friends are thirsty pour them some. Don't let it get out of hand though with the courtesans. Now give me a call when my dubloons are spent, yes?"
The barkeep eyed Boolroc strangely some more, but he chose value for money and did what he was asked. Boolroc heard the barkeep mutter something in the line of 'crazy reptile'.
It had been a while since he had done some loansharking, but Boolroc could use the practice. Drunks, gamblers and courtesan-regulars were always easy targets for such things. Boolroc eyed the ring he had swiped from some passerby's pocket, not overly valueable and to small for any of his claws. But he'd find a fence for it sooner or later and most likely sooner.
Boolroc saw that the human and the dwarf were up next, as he accepted his bitter. He took a generous sip and entered the cue for the adventurers.

Magnus picked up the keg with the somogon and along with Drago went towards Darren's and Horace's table.
- Aye runts, we heard ye be searchin' for a treasure.- He said while pouring the somogon.
- Remember what we agreed to Magnus? Let me do the talking- Said Drago.- As my partner said, we two are interested in your treasure hunt. I'm known as Dragomir of Merinanth, also called the Dragonhunter, and my partner is...
- Magnus Goldbeard, of the Iron Clan.- Finished the dwarf.
- Yes, now then, what else can you tell about your target?- Asked Drago while raising the goblet.
