Falwood was a pretty peaceful place compared to some of the more crowded regions of Arethil. That wasn't to say that the elves didn't have their squabbles, but Gunner Valenntyne felt much more at home on the crisp-aired, quiet roads of Falwood than he would in a city full of sour faces Vel Anir...

Valenntyne took a cursory look around the Knoll as Caelia spoke of the order, taking it in not with the eyes of a celebratory drunkard, but a man who hadn't a crowd to fit in with for quite some time. She was right, the place was full of diverse, interesting folk of all shapes and sizes. A small...

Gunner could only give a shrug at Caelias pointed remark, lifting his shoulders with that easy-going smile that almost never seemed to leave his rugged features. "Hey, it's a bar! Would have been kinda rude for me to jump back there and take over all of a sudden, and I paid him well, too!" If...

It was easy enough for Gunner to pretend he had any idea what the fancy-flippin' bartender was doing. Valenntyne was a simple man when it came to the drink: They put it in his glass, and he poured it down his throat. He'd never really gotten into the more intricate side of alcoholism, but it was...

Just about when the strange girl was admiring Gunner's composure, he was struggling to maintain it. Oh, Valenntyne had the brawn, but he was still outmatched, and no amount of fancy footwork was going to beat steel blades and bloodlust. If this lady hadn't shown up, he'd be far less confident...

Gunner didn't know a soul here, not beyond a brief encounter. If anything, he was the one people should have been wary about; some outsider stumbling into their competition with nothing but a smile and some ill-fitting clothes to his name. Still, everybody had welcomed him with at least...

The coy smile Gunner wore so proudly as Caelia stood and circled him seemed to suggest maybe the strange barrel-chested foreigner wasn't as obvious and thick as he seemed. He knew very well that the shirt didn't fit him, and that he looked like an absolute mook. But she was still looking at...

There were three of them, all armed with swords and slowly closing the distance between the doorway and Gunner like a pack of hungry wolves about to tear apart a helpless piece of meat. The man behind the bar, quietly ducked into a back room, wanting no part of the incoming violence. Gunner...

"Terribly sorry, I suppose I didn't realize the work that went into them." He admitted, unfolding the embroidered shirt and spreading it out. It wasn't really his taste, the color didn't match his hair, and the underside of the embroidery would brush up against his skin, barely but enough for...

Gunner had already forgotten how he'd placed in the competition. It hadn't been high, but then he'd never shown up with the desire to win big. No, that Saskia girl had simply promised him a good time, food and drink, and a bed to crash in when it was all said and done. What did it matter to him...

Roll: 15 "If you drop me, don't bother showing your face round these parts again." Monroe was just as grouchy up close as she'd looked from afar, but Gunner didn't let her moody little grumbles get him down. After all, there was no way he was dropping her, so he didn't need to worry about...

Gunner hadn't let his failure in the hammer throw dampen his spirits for long; Already he was back on his feet and back at the water basin, taking a long sip from his cupped hands. Valenntyne hadn't come into this little shindig knowing what would be going on, and he definitely wasn't expecting...

ROLL: 2 Next up on the docket was... throwing a big ball on a chain? That didn't seem too hard! Gunner had done plenty of heaving lifting, and now his arms were all warmed up after all that sawing. There was a flurry of movement from the girls, like they were tallying something. Were they...

Roll: 20 (This bodes terribly for my future luck.) That cutie from earlier wasn't lying when she said that this place would be busy-- In only a couple of minutes it seemed like twice as many guys were walking around than before! Gunner wasn't super clear on the details of this party, but he'd...
