[snip]Meanwhile as the Captain was handling a comm call in the bathroom nearby, back with the rest of the landing party in the main room, they would hopefully be finishing up their meal and drinks. The elven singer and her two male performers were wrapping up their second song by this point. The remaining two shady figures in the corner that had met with the more regal woman were currently in a pose which given their covered hooded heads seemed to imply both maybe were asleep? Said regal woman was currently drinking a large glass of alcohol of some sort and was probably well on her way from being buzzed to quite tipsy if not outright drunk. The plumber information broker man that had been studying them earlier and that Marcus had briefly spoke with had by this point, been joined by a stocky dwarf like figure in dark toned plate armor with a hefty looking axe on his back. The dwarf would be seen conversing with the man, who gave him some kind of small leatherbound like book as well as what might have been from the brief peek the group had a white gem of some sort, but it was soon covered up in a bag so they could not tell more. The dwarfish figure would nod and then pocket both before turning to regard the room as if trying to decide something.

“It’s like something out of J. R. R. Tolkien.” Anders mumbled to himself in wonder.

Anders followed Knight’s lead and stepped across to the regal looking woman on the other side of the room, “Forgive me for my forward speech,” he said addressing the woman directly, “But are the performers anything to do with you? That was quite a set.”

The regal looking woman gave Marcus a once over as if sizing him up to see if he was worth her time to reply towards. Evidently she found something she liked or found of interest as she shrugged, “..Not I no. The Fey and her two lackies..” She said gesturing with her nose over to the singing elven woman and two male performers. “..were hired by Bray Martikova, the Blood’s owner here in the village.” she replied, then eyed the elven singer who began another harmonious tune that seemed to resonate around the eating area in quite a pleasing way. “..The Fey woman though does, have at least a pleasing voice. So I suppose their kind has some redeeming qualities that are useful..” she said.
After another pause she regarded Marcus again, “..From the looks of you boy, you are of a farming stock, probably some Outlander sort to Barovia I would guess given the slight accent your Common Tongue has, I would say. So let me just as forward to you in reply. What brings you to my table this evening?” She queried.

Marcus stooped slightly to give the impression that he knew how to address a woman in this standing, “My lady, I only wish to offer my thanks to such a noble creature for even thinking about addressing me. To that end, if there is anything my party and I can do to assist you around your holdfast, we would only be to happy to oblige in return for just a small amount of gold to get us on our way.” Marcus had always been interested in fantasy fiction as a young boy, so was starting to find his stride in this Tolkien esque villiage.
