by Johnson Piraat

Date : 8-29-877
 
I've arrived at the town of Vigo. After accomplish the escort, I have seeked the patron Quincy for the payment due. I am now sitting at the bar at Quincy's Tavern enjoy my rum and some locals are hanging about. There is a gnome entertaining the locals by the name of Jekas Biggleneggle, he is not the best Bard I've ever heard but he's doing a good job. After several minutes a young man about my own age comes walking into the tavern. He approaches the bar and is greeted by set alarm as a bartender for Quincy's. The young man introduces himself as Uriah Huxley and asked to speak with Quincy. After Quincy appears, a tall slender gentleman I've dealt with before, the two gentlemen talk business for several minutes. Being able to overhear their conversation JK asks about what help this young man might need. It seems that there are items being stolen from The Tavern and Quincy has recruited this young man to find out why. Jk offers his assistance to Uriah and next to them is an older gentleman, an elf who introduces himself as Don Jagger, who also offers his assistance. After the three of them have spoken for quite some time, JK jumps on the bar and begins entertaining the crowd once again. Looking down the bar he sees me at the end sipping from my cup of rum, twirling one of my throwing knives. He grabs an empty cup and places that upon his head, as he announces to the crowd that I am going to use my dagger to knock the cup off of his head. The crowd begins to cheer with excitement. JK turns towards me, gives me a nod, as I stick my throwing knife into the counter, I reach behind my back and pull my dagger out quickly hurling it down the bar and into the cup. The crowd erupts in chios and began filling the empty cup was gold and silver. It is that time it is at that time that the group invites me to join them, my name Johnson Piraat but you can call me Johnny.
 
As Don, Uriah and JK begin investigating in the back room of Quincy's for any signs of forced entry. I make my way into the merchant area to check with the other vendors on any possible issues. I speak with a local Alchemist by the name of Orson Gardiner, who informs me that he has lost a crate of healing potions. We make a deal that if I can return the crate of potions, he will pay me with a high valued potion. I returned to Quincy's to find Don and JK but Uriah is nowhere in sight. Upon inquiry I find out that Uriah is checking a dark back alley by himself. I do not think this is a good idea and a s Jk makes his way to speak with the guards on duty, Don and I make our way down the dark alley. After several feet, we come to a corner in the alley and find that Uriah has been attacked by three large rodents. We quickly exterminate the problem and make our way back to Quincy's Tavern for refuge from any more of the creatures.
 
A celebration begins with much drinking and talking, only to be interrupted by noise coming from the back room. JK and Johnny go into the back room to be confronted by several goblins who are looting the area. With a quick yell out to their friends, the battle begins. The team quickly takes care of the goblins capturing one of them and taking him hostage but in doing so, one of the walls of the tavern had caught fire and then unusually it was extinguished. Thus ends my first night in Vigo. Now spending the evening tied to a goblin, having got into two fights and my first day here. Can not wait to see where this adventure takes us
