Larkas rushed to the spot, where the Brotherhood was recruiting. He approached the officer: "I came to join the Brotherhood of the Tattered Banner."

Domerth sighed.
- Seems people these days just bypass our recruitment office in the city. Allright, If you traveled here, I suppose I can sign you up - Domerth said as he opened the ledger.
- if you can write, sign your full name here. We'll also require your bloodprint here. - Domerth repeated the procedure he'd done moment's earlier.

"Good. Thank you for this opportunity." Larkas looks around himself and doesn't find the guards that tried to chase him.
Larkas writes his name and uses the knife to make the blood print. He always feels uneasy when signing official documents, thinking they could be used against him someday.
"This should be it, I presume?" Larkas asked.

After this little business was concluded the caravan resumed it's movement.
For several leagues, the scenery didn't changed. Orchards and occasional hamlets. when the War for the North started, the majority of these hamlets were walled off, in hopes of at least halting the Cult's advance in the early stages of the war. Needless to say, a lot of these villages were put to the torch, as well as the surrounding fields and orchards.
The caravan reached one of the bigger towns, halfway to Northwarch Hold, a castle erected by the Brotherhood on the orders of the King just prior to the War.
It was near evening, so the members of the Brotherhod took up the inn of the town for rest.

Larkas entered the inn and took some place. After eating some blueberries he used earlier for the prank (to make the kid's mouth turn blue), he turned to the bartender, who had black hair.
"Need anything?"
"Yea, I would like some beer please."
"Four kopecks, then." Larkas pays the price. "So, what brings you here? You look like the adventurer type."
"Yeah, well, I am here with a group. I am the, um, security technician."
The bartender's eyebrow rose up. "Eh, what does that mean?"
"It just means that I oversee how secure people's belongings are. It's quite a stressful job, sometimes and it sometimes feels the payment isn't just good enough."
"Eh, I hear ye. Most of my time, I have drunks come in here. Then I have to kick them out before they start a tavern brawl. And then I have to pay for the damages." The bartender frowns.
The two continue on talking.

"Oi, newbie! Out of the way!" Brynhildr called out and pushed Larkas to the ground. "Ya got mead? I'm thirsty" she asked the bartender while sitting down on the now unoccupied seat, spilling the previous drink over it's drinker.

"Ugh." Larkas stood up, reeking from the beer. His head was slightly hurt, too. "I didn't know violent teenage giants disguised themselves as dryads. Oh, wait, it's just Bryn'."
Larkas looks at the bartender. Since he was just told how the bartender has a hard time dealing with fights, Larkas thinks for a bit and smiles.
"But, at least I am not the violent type. No, I just happen to be a really social guy with a lot of tales. Since you did show some traces of giant blood within yourself, then let me tell you a about the mating habits of giants with humans. See, when a giant meets a tall human they fancy, then they start to..."

"No" she responded. "but I want to"
CRACK Larkas' face sounded.
"Get up from that, ya twerp. Oi tender, this mead's pretty good. Got any barrels to sell the company of the tattered banner?"
Even though the tender would normally be against the ruckus, the name of the Tattered banner carried a lot of weight around these parts and Larkas' response made it seem no more than some friendly roughhousing he was willing to let it slide. "Is he gonna be ok?"
"If he ain't he don' belong with us if that's what yer askin'. So the mead? Got any caskets fer sale?"

- Don't be causing any brawls here. -Domerth said, taking a seat by the bar.
- Mead please.- Domerth said as he put a silver shilling on the bar.
- Right away M'lord- The barkeep replied, as he began to pour a tankard.
The rest of the company were left to their own devices. Halfman, and some others were already playing cards by one table.

Larkas stood up, being quite annoyed. He knew he tried much already, but he won't let some "tree-hugger" reduce him to a pushover; this situation will conclude another day and in another place. Thus, he went to wash off the stink from the beer and go to bed.

"These mercenaries are quite peculiar... I've heard of the Brotherhood of the Tattered Banner before, but to see them in person truly changes one's perception of swords-for-hire", Alder thought as he sipped his wine, "This life seems different from what I've become accustomed to with... those people. Speaking of them, I should double-check my room for any surprises they might have made for me.

Before Larkas could walk away, John who walked in after Domerth grabbed the half-orc by the shoulder. He put his other hand on Bryn's shoulder as well.
"You might have been in the company longer than him, Bryn, but you still follow our rules and discipline. You want to get a point across, you do it the right way: outside, before the eyes of your brothers and sisters. You do not endanger the inn that has been kind enough to take care of us for the night." John said in a stern voice and before Larkas had the time to so much as snicker, he turned to him with the same expression, "and you, Larkas, next time you want to talk about... the mating habits of giants and humans, I believe it was, you say it to me. Up close."
John sat beside Domerth and asked the bartender to bring him food, whichever he considers his specialty.

"My deepest apologies, mr. John. I was merely trying to earn my toughness within the Brotherhood; I will stop if it offends some people."
The half-giant passes by, so Larkas is uncertain whether he heard that or not. This definitively was not like home, where people could throw a lot of insults and get away with it, most of the time.
Either way, Larkas sees clearly he has to earn some prestige, and not just by words.

Orryth was sitting on a chair a couple tables into the room, watching the whole scene unfold before him. These people are strange, being his only thought. While watching he shifts his glass of water in a swirl-like pattern upon the table's surface.

Ran just shook his head. He never understood why people felt the need to show off or make a scene. He really didn't need a room, the floor would suit him just fine. "To save the group some money, I will volunteer to sleep on somebody's floor."

- I already payed for the whole inn - Domerth said to Hahn.- There are rooms a plenty for all of us. Besides, You'll get the opportunity to sleep on the ground soon enough Hahn. - Domerth said with a smile, having in mind that the wast areas between Gemstone cities are sparsely populated.
The monk was a sort of puzzle to Domerth. He never really figured out why a monk belonging to one of Kythayan Warrior Monk Orders decided to join the Brotherhood, esspecially one leading such an altruistic and monastic lifestyle. Domerth didn't even knew which monk order did Hahn belonged to, since he never had an opportunity to sit down and properly chat with the monastic warrior.
However, his prowess in unarmed combat spoke for himself. As far as Domerth could say, Hahn was the best unarmed fighter in the Brotherhood, and that is saying a lot.
- What ye thinking about lad? - Magnus asked Domerth, as the dwarf sat by him.
- Nothing much. I think I'll go study the maps later, will plot a decent course to Onyx.
- Aye, ye do that - Magnus said as he reached for a tankard and a piece of salted bacon.
- What do you think your Brother ran into?
- Who knows. I hope it's not as severe as last time I saw him, which was four bloody decades ago! - Magnus spat on the ground. His brother Brann, had helped the Brotherhoord find the Goblet of Manara all those years ago. During that time Brann Goldbeard had an unfortunate run in with the Cult of Jagnir, who had wounded him severely, and it would've been the end of him, if not for the Dryad healers.

"Four years, and I still can't wrap my head around some folk, what's the need to get so pushy I'll never know, I wonder how father coped with this type of people..." Federigo thought while mixing his soup with a bored gesture.
He overheard Magnus's talk with Domerth and remembered the stories that his father would tell of the great expedition: "Everytime he told that story, his face would lighten up and a sense of pride overcame him. And then, he remembered what he had lost."

"A bit ironic", 'Elepaio muttered at Bryn's answer.
She finished eating her dinner and drank down the rest of the wine she had saved from the morning. She yawned.
"Ungh, I'm going to bed", she thought, the cart had not smiled on her napping efforts. Leaving the main room she located the best room in the inn. Removing her clothes, she slid into bed and fell asleep.

- fifty shillings for a cask of mead m'lady- The barkeep answered Bryn.
Meanwhile food was served. Domerth quickly finished his meal, and retired to his room, to study some maps. He did took with him a bottle of wine.
Domerth lit up some lanterns to shed in some more light. He rolled the map on the table and began examining.
There was only one road from Northwatch Hold, and that was to the city of Beryl.
From there, the road branched off. So far, Domerth couldn't see an efficient way to Onyx, as all of the roads seemed to be of near equal distance.
