No matter what time of day, or the weather, there was a consistent warm glow that came from a strange building within Cynderfall. This building was strange because of the plant life that seemed to fuse and flourish into it. The trees that surrounded the building were a part of it, and yet it all seemed like it was just meant to be. It had a simple sign, seeming to grow from an overhanging branch, that read "The Grove".
It was after mid-day, where the folks of Cynderfall would find their day coming to a close, and yet it was at this point of the day where the Grove would have another peak in its visitors. The doors would be open, and there would be laughter. Inside, furniture and foliage accented each other, as did the chatter of all manner of creatures. One of the brightest of smiles came from Mimi, the druid. She giggled as she poured another drink for a friend, and was happily serving her guests.
"Hello, little bird! Please help yourself to some snacks!"

They odd cloaked figure opens the door to the tavern with little expectations given the current place he was in. He peers around and to his surprise it looks nice enough. It does look a little slow however and he is not sure he will be able to find the information he seeks. He spots a table off in the corner of the room where he can keep an eye both on the room and the front door and takes a seat. "Bar Wench! a mug of Ale please!" He leans back glad to finally be off his feet for a while and waits in hopes of a good bard to bring in the patrons.

Sinderion walks in idly allowing flames to dance around his fingers. He notices it is nice and quiet here and he takes a seat near the center table. He catches the look of the dark elf sitting all alone and orders a drink sending another to replace the elf's near empty glass. As the drinks are delivered he calmly walks over to the man. "The name is Sinderion, Sinder to my friends. I'm fairly new in town and I am pretty sure we haven't met. What brings you to this lovely little town?"

The tiger Wilden follows the seemingly careless mage, the attempt to keep him safe proving to be a bit more challenging than she had originally thought. She stayed behind the purple and white man and listens, watching the dark elf curiously and ready to draw her sword if need be. She knows the Grove to be a peaceful place and is ready to take things outside if necessary, but simply watches as her charge introduces himself.

"Sinderion eh.... thank you for the drink. It is well received and much appreciated. There's nothing like a good stupor to make you forget an obnoxiously long journey." "My name is Lulzandervale Nightshade. It's a lot to say so just call me Lulz or Zander, I answer to both." He leans in the direction of showboaty mage as if to speak softly..... though taking care to to lean to close as he feels he may be pounced on. "Umm.... you seemed to have picked up a stray...... or is she with you?"

Sinder looks to where he was indicating. "No, No she is my bodyguard. I have an aversion to being hit." He motions to the seat then takes it. "Long journey you say? How far did you travel and why stop here?" He takes a sip from his glass his eyes seem to glow with the excitement of a coming tale.

"Not so fond of getting hit my self. By the looks of this town, a body guard isn't a bad idea." "I was sent all the way from Winterrend to find a man named Jasper. Something about an appearance of Death Knights tends to get people all riled up." "So whats your excuse. A well dressed man like your self that can afford to pay for protection looks really out of place here." "Also, would you happen to have any info on this Jasper guy?"

Sinderion laughs. "Ah the Deathknights. Yeah we had a run in with them. They were pretty mean took a few tricks to take them down. Rumor was that if they were powerful enough then they would be back. Yes I met Jasper for a short time the night I came into town. A raiding party was being formed to stop some Kriegen were riling up the townsfolk. He said that he had been called into town to help the guards handle some horror of body parts that had been sewn together and was about to attack the wall." Sinder finishes his drink and orders another refilling Zanders as well. "Yea a bodyguard does come in handy, more so when you are not part of one of the groups that the town seems to have formed." This last part he leaned in close so as the rest of the tavern couldn't hear and possibly take offense.

"Well well Sinder, looks like I have found a mind worthy of conversation. That was an excellent deflection of my question as to why your in town. No matter, I don't discuss my business either unless it suits me.' " I am a little disturbed to here that a small village like this already has factions pushing against each other. I rarely have use for.... "friends", but it looks like 1 or 2 might be wise in this town." "Anything I need to know about this town to keep me out of trouble? People I should stay away from? What the nobles are like?"

Sinder grins. "Thank you I enjoy my verbal chess as much as anyone. As far as factions it seems the 'adventurers' are the ones creating them. I just sit back and see where I'm needed. I do not really fit into any such group as it were but I have no qualms about creating my own as long as we are all in agreement on what we stood for. The nobles here in town, I follow Q'tar readily as he seems to have a solid grasp on whats logical. I had the 'pleasure' of meeting the Baron during the festival.....I'll leave the impressions up to you if you ever meet them." He leans back cocking his head to the side as the birds sing again.

As guest friends fluttered in, Mimi danced with glee. Dinner was warm in her stoves, so Mimi was free to flit about her Grove. She hummed a happy tune as she went from table to table refilling drinks.
"Just leave your coin in the bowls, lovelies!" she would say in a sing-song voice. Another round was asked at one of her tables in a corner of her Grove. She would smile and say, "Oh my, my. So thirsty! Make sure to take care and freshen up with my spring water too!"

"Q'tar? I'm assuming he is a noble here? I am not familiar with this name." He looks into his, yet again, near empty mug then looks around the room and in much lower tone says "We should talk about what such a group would stand for but I'm not sure this is the place for that discussion" Then looking back at his new friend who has supplied him with much drink (suddenly wondering if he should be more cautious with the spirits in this town) and says in a more normal if not slightly louder tone "Thanks for the drink my friend, and if you happen to run into Jasper can you tell him I am here on guild business?"

Carys smiled at the tavern keeper and asked her how she was doing, in a quiet voice as she dropped a single gold piece in the bowl. She listened intently for her answer as she continued to scan the seemingly empty bar. "Did you get anymore of your needed signatures?"

"Yes he is the Esquire for the town. I agree if we are discussing the details of an arrangement we should do it in a more private area." Sinder finishes his mug and tosses coin into the bowl to pay for the two of them. "Are you heading out then? I will let Jasper know if I see him around."

"I'm going to partake in the food and some of the "spring water" they are serving in hopes that Jasper shows. I have to report to him before I can start my experi.... ehhem... my work here in town. Until I see him I would be quite useless to anyone. Well met my friend and I look forward to our next mental sparing match and don't forget to bring along nameless tiger lady."
