The Grinning Goblin

T9: The GRinning Goblin(12) and The Grounds(13)
"You come to a large 2 story brick and mortar establishment with an ugly green goblin's grimace painted aboce the door."

"You enter the Public house and are immediately hit with the stench of old, stale, beer. The main tavern area is sparsely populated, a few commoners drink together as the Dwarven bar keeps work behind the polished blackoak bar. The single hanging brazier barely affords any lightgiving the pub a very dim and depressing motif. Daga points to 2 folks sitting along the back wall. 'There go my mates now!' he says in jubilence." ''"The towering Half-Orc stands and pulls you in for a crushing bear hug. "WELCOME! In these trying times it's good to see adventurers this far in the Northwild!' Moor Fien remains quiet, smiling politely."''
 * You walk over to the table and are introduced to Odius Grim and Moor Fien.
 * PC's are invited to sit down and drink with them. They discuss politics...
 * MF: "And i say, this Valoff is an agent of evil. I see the fires of Nerull in his eye." O: "Neigh, the bastard is just another corrupted throne sucker like the rest of them. Trying to push their pelorian values... I 'ope he gets his head chopped during his little fancy parade on the morrow."
 * At some point Daga and Moor throw down on a Bard Jam Session.
 * INFO given to PC's:
 * "Valoff is the new high acolyte of the realm. An underhanded worm of a man. Most folk believe he killed the old acolyte under the command of the emperor to gain a stronger foothold so far from the throne. He'll be here in a few days to visit the town, push his blessings, and share council at the University."
 * "Rahavat is meeting with him too. I'm telling you something rotten is going on."

"After much discussion, Odius throws his horn of ale to the ground. "I NEED A FIGHT OR A FUCK!" he screams. He looks to you and smiles. 'Care to spar with a retired old orcster?' He then turns to the barmaid 'Oi, whats the pot up to now?' she smiles, wiping down a glass. '150' she responds."



T10: The Grounds(13)
''Outside the pub is THE GROUNDS, where locals go to settle disputes of strength and honor. mostly a friendly sparring circle, sometimes not. Odius is Pub champion right now with a 150GP pot...''


 * Spar with odius. Wooden staffs, non-lethal damage. If you lose, all bets go to the pot, if you win you get the pot minus the pub cut (115 GP all together)


 * After the sparring Odius considers you a friend and can be counted upon anytime. He considers himself a mercanary and will assist you on any mission for a price. Moor Fien is more elusive. He heads off to the Library to study.
