Shrizizen watched Lilith's handling of the situation with amusement.  Although not wise in the ways of spells, she figured that the "amazon" was a great enchantress in addition to a skilled fighter.<em>I'll have to make sure that she doesn't use her powers on me.</em><br/><br/><br/>"Welcome, welcome," Shrizizen said to Thorne in a drab tone to Thorne's arrival.  "Oh, a Barbarian?  Okay, I'll read this form out loud.  Just dip your thumb in this ink and press it against the square box and bottom line to indicate that you're not of evil alignment and agree to join our party."<br/><br/>Shrizizen looked over at the now-subservient farmer kneeling down after watching Rose mounting the other.  "I'll walk, thanks," she said.<br/><br/>Walking out of the tavern, Shrizizen relayed the parameters of their mission to the new recruits.  "Our current quest is to investigate the disappearances of some young acolytes of Pelor who ventured into this town and did not return.  Lord Blackwill is believed to be involved in some way, but he's the rightful ruler of this town and its surrounding environs.  As Pelorites are overall a well-respected lot that only evil folk hate and fear, our employers believe that there are dark forces at work in the land."<br/><br/><em>Well, other dark forces than us,</em>she thought after considering herself and Lilith.<br/><br/>The drow squinted hard as she walked out of the tavern and beneath the sunlit sky.  "Hold on," she says, shielding her face.  "Give me a moment to adjust.  So Rose, what should our first plan of action be?  Venture to Blackwill's estate?  Gather information in town?"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">I give a token to Lilith's handling of the farmers, and one to Rose for mounting them. ;D</div></div>
