kristine walked down the gangplank of the ship called<em>the ruben</em>and looked around as she made her way threw the crowds, keeping a tight hand on her cutlass hilt and her coin purse. she had decided to leave her father's ship to establish her own identity from his and also to test her skills  and obtain a fortune.  she had heard of a call for people either brave or foolish to go on a quest for some item, or so the flyer said as she picked it off a wall and read it. she scanned it for a meeting place and headed to the tavern.<br/><br/>she walked in and paid five gold coins to make sure she got a bottle of the finest grog before she went into the room, pressing the flyer into the guard's chest and opening the door herself and letting herself in as the guard was caught off guard by her actions but since she had a flyer he could not do much against her. she pulled out the cork of the bottle she had and spat it on the floor before she took a deep swig and looked around taking head count of people and visible weapons before she moved off tot eh side and kept her eyes roaming from person to person.<br/><br/>'one mysterious person in a cloak, so probably an assassin or a mage so a threat.  a harmless enough looking girl in chains, but looks do not mean a thing and she is in shackles so she is a possible threat. an elf with weapons, threat duly noted and i hope we can test each other's mettle. a man in simple robes and leather armor, poor adventurer or some that likes to live simply little obvious threat to me. and then there was the mercenary looking man as well with a big sword, so he is a threat. the guards could probably be dispatched with ease if i can keep from getting surrounded.' she thought to herself as she looked around the room again and took another swig.
