Quest 1: A Wild Dwarf Appears! [Dictated/Action][Open to all - let me know if I messed up!!]

[fuckelves]

[Where is he? Why is there a book in his hand?]

...from the make of this place, I'd say this is Elf sorcery...

[To appease his curiosity, Thorin opens the book and finds not only his name, but the words he spoke not seconds ago written inside.]

...definitely Elf devilry.

[He tilts a brow and observes his surroundings - seems to be a lobby of some sort. Dwarves don't typically live in castles, so he knows this is not the work of his kind - and his kind would never demand the sacrifice that this castle did.]

Where in Mahal's beard am I?

[fuckelves]

I have heard that the castle ends up punishing you or forcing you to pay in the end for those wishes you ask for.

[bronwe]

I have been told the same, but it has yet to prove true.

[fuckelves]

Well that is a comforting thought amid the warnings, at any rate!

[bronwe]

I wonder if I should take back my words in that case.

[fuckelves]

I've just heard that the castle demands payment for use of it's magic - the first and most recent example that comes to mind is that a friend was turned into a cat for a day or two.

[bronwe]

I do not mean for you to think the castle is a hospitable host. It is not.

[fuckelves]

Oh no, lad - believe me, there is no danger of that thought ever entering my head!

[bronwe]

But you will never go hungry at least.

[fuckelves]

Thank Mahal for that much!!

[bronwe]

It's almost worth all the trouble it puts us through.

[fuckelves]

"Almost" being the key word, lad!

[bronwe]

[ He chuckles too. ]

Yes. Almost. I hope you are settling well regardless.

[fuckelves]

Aye, well enough - you seem a lad of decent nature; should you find yourself in need of entertainment, feel free to seek me out!

[bronwe]

Are you the most entertaining?

[fuckelves]

Please! What could be more entertaining than drinking or sparring with a Dwarf!?

[Thorin's got some impressive stories, if he likes you enough!]

[bronwe]

Must be drinking with a hobbit! I'm not so sure about sparring, however.

[fuckelves]

In that case, young Hobbit - feel free to join me for a drink sometime in this place! And a little sparring might do you some good, never know when you'll need to draw a sword and defend yourself.

By the way, what do you call yourself, lad?

((ooc: figured I'd drop a link to the log Thorin's already got going at the bar - Bilbo's there with him too, if you're interested! :) ))

[bronwe]

I should hope the need never comes to me. [ Even if it has. ]

You should call me Frodo. Frodo Baggins.

[fuckelves]

All intelligent folk share that hope, young Hobbit. But is it not best to be prepared in case the need arises?

[Thorin pauses at that revelation.]

You wouldn't be a relative of Bilbo Baggins
