*Tieres's foot collided the door with a thud as he kicked it open with violent intent, as he entered the tavern onlookers would see a fairly tall fire macen, he wore a black poncho with gold roses sewn in a v shape across the neck, his brown skin bringing out the golden glow in a singular eye, the other eye was obscured with healed over flesh from a past scar that ran length ways, the pupil grey and colorless. Tieres looked back and forth making sure all eyes were on him after his over the top entrance, making eye contact with everyone who stared his way. Once Tieres felt he had the crowds attention, he walked towards the bar, and dropped 2 gold at the counter*

"**Rum, for the rest of the night straight to my table.**" 

*With that, he walked to the back of the tavern, finding an obscure table in the corner, sitting down and putting his legs up on the table, leaning back.*
David
*As Maximus walked up toward the taverns entrance he notices a sizable footprint on the door and kinda squinted at it confused but not concerned he pushes open the door with it slowly closing behind him he wears Woolen Garments, Leather Boots , A thin Gambeson, with a nice looking pare of steel custom gloves with irregular 6inch retractable blades in the end, he walked up to the bar and takes a seat calling over the bartender* 
"Can I just get some ale and whatever meat ya can cook up"

*He says while dropping one gold coin, he then turns around and scans the room looking at everyone around the room*
Corey
*Tieres noticed the figure, but mostly because of their strange gloves, he eyed it with a contemplative look on his face.* 

"**Hey Stranger! With the weird gloves!**" 

*Tieres yelled out, ushering him to come closer before taking his feet off the table and leaning forward, taking a sip from his tankard of rum*
David
*Maximus eyes slowly raised and looked around*

"Me?" 

*He said looking around looking at and slowly stands up*

"Do ya need something?"

*Maximus says pointing at himself with a confused look on his face*
Corey
*Tieres hisses at the dopey nature of the response, his patience seemingly waning for no real reason* 

"**Just get over here and sit.**" 

*Tieres began aggressively gulping down his rum now, as if the act was performative*
David
*Maxamis slowly walks over to him, navigating his way around all the tables and takes a seat at his table and kinda looks around still confused* 

"So umm what do ya want?"

*He says while watching him gulp down the rum aggressively*
Corey
*Tieres spits through his teeth in a gesture of either disrespect for the person in front of him, or for the establishment, his single eye wonders at location a few feet around Maximus, as if he's looking for something, before meeting Maximus's eyes,* 

"**Where did ya get those?**" 

*As he leans back elbows behind his head on the chair, he points a single finger at his gloves.*
David
*He raises his hand to show him the gloves*

"They are custom made given to me by my relatives, they are for my claws"

*He then extends his claws and they are 6 inches long but with that extends 5 irregular blades coming from the glove*
Corey
*Tieres's eye almost glows with childlike ire, a devilish smile appears on his face as he reaches out to gently hold one of the gloves in both his hands* 

"**Could punch a man to death in way less then 10 punches with this thing, can we trade relatives?**" 

*Tieres never take his eyes from the gloves as he talks, fully entranced*
David
"Hey man if you wanna go and dig him up sure be my guest"

*He says while leaning back in the chair* 

But unless ya got claws the blades won't come out*
Corey
*Tieres too leans back, taking a slow sip from the rum Tankard before realising it was finished, he snapped towards the bar, a startled bartender coming forward to take his cup away* 

" **Heh, I'd dig up the cursed body of the old Silnari king for one of those. What brings someone of youre... Ilk out to these parts of the world.**"
David
*Maximus quickly ask the bartender for some tough meat and some ale before the man went back to the bar* " I was out here hunting some convicts with a friend of mine and well just ended up here"
Corey
*The bartender arrives with their drinks and food, at first he seems fairly relaxed if not a bit nervous, Tieres gives him a stare and all of a sudden the man is running away from their table before he can say a word* 

"**How's a cat like you get a friend around these parts, unless you brought a cat with you. Anyway its funny you mention convict hunting, believe it or not, I just had the same sort of gig, brutal job out in the desert near the beast kin lands, was just a road stop truth be told, got a, big money plan in mind**"

*Tieres watches the man, trying to gauge his reaction from the mention of some kind of grand plan*
David
*Maximus takes a bite clean out of his meat with ease due to his abnormally strong bite even for his race, and when Maximus hears about this mans big plan he nods slightly sorta intrigued by this mans plans* Wow, ya must be making a boat load of money for that you must love it, do ya do it alone?"
Corey
*Tieres begins to wave his hand side to side and shake his head* 

"**No, no, I haven't put it into action yet, that's why its a plan, I got an idea for a big money scheme, an untapped market if you will. I need associates, nothing urgent, long term, but people to call on when it gets going, you seem, adequate, unless you just look the tough guy.**" 

*Tieres ran out of rum once again, he simply held his cup up as if offering it to a god, and the bartender came without any eye contact to take the cup away* 

"**You interested?**"
David
"Hmmmmm sounds nice I'm interested just go into details about it"
*He says taking another bit*
Corey
*Tieres grins slightly, no longer sitting back, he's fully attentive* 

"**The way I see it, with the Salvanian Empire getting uppity again, the Itchunisians finally getting their shit together and the Lymian dark elves maybe getting a little revenge , everyones gonna start shitting on the high elves front lawn, The humans want the land probably, and the dark elves wanna get even, but most importantly, the beastkin, they want to free their brethren, they want their slaves back, so the way this is going is, by the time the war is over, there isn't gonna be anymore slaves. Now, ever the wise opportunist yours truly is, since us common folk don't really have any slave stocks and property, the only way we make money of this... Commodity, is if we liberate and ransom the slaves, you think the families back home wouldn't want to be reunited with their old cousins and kids? Think about it, we liberate the slaves under the cover of night, ransom them back to the families, get the cash and we become heroes, its not just lucrative, its exclusive if we get on it quickly, nobody else is crazy enough to step up to the elves, but the elves are cocky, they're coddled, and they think they're safe, they're not safe, not for long. If we have our way.**" 

*Tieres leans back after finishing, seemingly proud of the pipe dream he put forward*
David
*A smile on Maximus face quickly turns to a frown*
" So you want to y'all slaves and have there family's pay to get them back... That's... Disgusting, and well horrible, the slaves shouldn't have to be bought by there families, I'm sorry but now I have to decline , I'm not interested in that line of business"
Corey
*Tieres sighs leaning back, a smile on his face as he puts a finger to his head in a thoughtful gesture*

"**Thought you'd say that, fair enough, takes a lot of heart, or lack of it to make money these days, alas, the world needs good people, as much as it needs uh, unsavoury types. Names Tieres by the way.**"

*Tieres extends a hand out for a handshake*
David
"Maximus the names Maximus"
*He goes to shake his hand*
Corey
*Tieres shakes his hand, his tone fairly neutral almost friendly*

"**You from round here? Or you a traveler too?**"
David
"Well yeah ima traveler too just came here for a quick job before I plan to head back out into the world and see where it leads me" 
*He says taking a sip of his ale*
Corey
"**Where you from then Maxi? And where you going? Truth be told I got a specific set of skills that im starting to tire of not using.**"
