<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/d/dc/MorenaRothberg.jpg)<br/>Morena Rothberg (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=291505.msg14316523#msg14316523)<br/>(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/0e/PercySocial.jpg)<br/></div>Through the hubbub of the common room came a middle aged woman with greying hair. She had a couple of small books poking out of satchels slung over her shoulders, but of more interest to the crowd around her was the tray of scones she carried in her arms, with small bowls of jam and cream on the sides. She managed to pick her way through the crowd towards the jobs board without losing more than half of them to hungry adventurers. "No need to crowd, lasses, there's plenty for everyone!" she assured them.<br/><br/>"Plenty for everyone!" shrieked a brightly coloured parrot, poking its head out of a fold of her cape. "Plenty for everyone!"<br/><br/>"Yes, that's right, Percy," she said sweetly, offering the parrot a crumb of scone. "Now, why don't we see what's in store for today's brave adventurers?"<br/><br/>As she moved, she turned to watch Brin dance. The tiefling girl was certainly a cut above the skill of the musicians who accompanied her, and the way she cut off her movements when the band fumbled was both clever and hilarious. She gave the dancer a broad smile of approval, unable to applaud with her hands full.<br/><br/>She peered at the job board, humming as she looked over the various offers. "Hmm. A few in town, some in the villages... and ruins in Rockbreak Hill? My, that is fascinating. The geology of Rockbreak Hill does lend itself to building foundations, so it's no surprise that there's something there, architecturally speaking."<br/><br/>Morena smiled and nodded politely to Lydia and Belgana, then edged around to stand near Landa. "Hello there, lass," she greeted her quietly. I don't believe I've seen you among the guild folk before. New in town?" She inclined the tray towards her, offering her a fresh scone. "I'm Morena. I've been haunting this guild for, well, longer than I care to say! See anything that takes your fancy?"
