At the tavern from earlier, Pandora sat in a chair, feet resting on the table as she sipped her wine and considered what she'd learned that day. A random man comes and takes what was supposed to be Darin's seat, leaning forward to flirt with Pandora. Before she can threaten the man to be on his way, she catches Darin's entrance in the bar and smirks, figuring she'd let him handle it as she makes her boredom with the interloper quite obvious.

[Devon]

Darin spots the man sitting with Pandora and smirks. Casually walking over to the bar he orders three drinks and brings them over to the table setting them down. Sitting down in between the two he heartily smacks the man on the back. "Drink up buddy! You know this lady? She is really something, looks hot to the touch and I should know hot." He grins and points to his fire sign. "Hey babe, which one of us do you think is better. Me or this guy?"

[Kender Bard]

Pandora sizes up the new man, who looks quite bewildered at Darin's sudden appearance. "You're far less boring that's for sure." She flashes him her widest, brightest smile, fangs gleaming. The man swallows hard. He knew she was some kind of Beast with her eyes, but that didn't bother him. Something with teeth like that did. He took the drink and hastily left.

Pandora laughed at his escape. "I thought you'd push him out of the seat or something."

[Devon]

"Nah," Darin says as he lifts his mug to get a drink. "I took SOME of my aggression out earlier. You can have the rest of it though." He winks. "But first, let's share what we found out. I'll go first, the guy who ordered the mercs to be hired was a priest of Worg by the name of Ward. He didn't get them himself, he sent someone else to do it and he doesn't even remember the guy's name."

[Kender Bard]

Pandora nods, listening closely. "Well, I found out that the hit was done by a paired-team. I didn't catch their names but I do know they tend to frequent Maelstrom."

[Devon]

Darin nods and adds to that, "Ward said the guy he used to hire those mercs is from Ilyamen and he is also a member of the Word temple. We could try and find him to see who the guys in Maelstrom are or." He pauses and takes another sip, "Or we go to Maelstrom and look for a pair of mercs."

[Kender Bard]

"I wouldn't mind a trip," Pandora admitted. "I mean that other guy had to have been smart enough to get the hell out of this place once shit started to fly. At least I'm pretty sure we'll find our mercs in Maelstrom."

[Devon]

"So it looks like we're taking a trip to Maelstrom." Darin grins and holds his mug up again to finish it. Putting it down on the table he scoots his chair closer to Pandora's. "We'd better inform our employers before we leave, maybe send a note to their inn. Anyway, do you want to leave right away or not?"

[Kender Bard]

"It's not warm enough to want to sleep on the ground," she sighed. "Let's go back to our room and write up a note. We'll stay here tonight and head out in the morning. Sound good?"

[Devon]

"Sounds good to me. You know I could keep you warm, fire sign and all." Darin leans back in his chair and grins like a two year old with candy. "Finally a good job, Pandora I was getting so bored until this fell in our laps. Hehe, now hurry up and drink I'm going to get you drunk and take advantage of you before we leave tomorrow." He chuckles and gets up to order another round for the two of them.

[Kender Bard]

"It's not taking advantage if I drag you to bed," Pandora laughed and joined him in another round of drinks in celebration of their newfound adventure.
