The Miner's Pick
Much like the rest of Maurius this time of year the stone roof is all but hidden by the snow. Frost has begun to claim most of the glass around the windows on either side of the entrance. Boots make a dull sound on the stone, but shuffle with the movement of snow from the worn out welcome mat. A thick wood and iron door is one of the only ways the cold makes its way into the tavern. As each one of the party members arrive the push of the door creates the groan and creak one hears as they enter.
Right as you enter, you see a Mirialan barkeep. Broad shoulders, long shaggy hair that's pulled back loosely he has thick eyebrows and a deep set of emerald eyes. The markings along his eyes tell that he holds some manner of weight around here. He's got a typical barkeep look with an apron and shirt that have seen better days. He's cleaning the top of the counter while a Kiffar Bard sings a song about the harsh winter it's clear to everyone that none of the party members are from around here.
"Hey." The barkeep calls out, "over here."
"Names Vo Cari, what business do you have here?"
It's more cautious than stern but something tells the party members that he's ready to fight if he has to. Another Mirialan, a woman comes forward she sets down several bowls of stew. Small game with root vegetables and spicy broth, "Vo..." she warns, "we don't get guests up here let alone during the winter months. Names Tiani, don't mind my husband he's just been a little on edge these days."
There's enough food for everyone, beverages also arrive courtesy of Tiani. "I saw your group coming up the river, can we get you guys anything else?"
CIS MEMBERS:
Whether Knight Obsidian, Iron Crusader or what have you, you were called here because of a distress call sent by Nysana Talon. She and a party of Scared Lotus members have gone missing. Several of the remaining members of the Sacred Lotus down in Sanctuary pointed your group to this town as their last known whereabouts.
AIE MEMBERS:
Shattered Jedi, Twilight Company or otherwise, you were called here to accompany Jedi Master [member="Coren Starchaser"]. He's been informed that there may be a possible Nexus on Monastery. Unfortunately the sudden onset of several snowstorms have made conditions quite hazdarous and Coren's contact has suddenly gone MIA. Your group has been directed here to meet up with the CIS Team headed to the Seven Guardians, where Coren's contact is rumored to be.
OSL MEMBERS:
Two prominent members of the Order have gone missing after going on a small trip up the mountains. You know that their last whereabouts were somewhere around Maurius, but you've not been up here enough for the people to know you. Thankfully, CIS and AIE Members are also here, you think about joining their group as it seems like your objective lines up with theirs.
