Well normally in campaigns the characters always stay in taverns and inns for a few nights at a time, but months is pretty long. So I suggested the following; That our characters (Keyotess and mine) came to Mirtan and initially had a bit of a hard time finding room and shelter because Elves aren't popular and it's a busy city, and beastkin without a proper master aren't okay with everyone either. They found some, but were probably ask to leave again after a week or so. They maybe changed Inn's 2 or 3 times until they ran into this nice open minded, older couple. They probably ended up helping them out with something, maybe the wife was struggling with something, or the husband needed a strong pair of hands helping out. Whatever the case, they got to interacting with this couple who wanted to return the favor and invited the ladies over for dinner. See they, have a son who's an adventurer too, and he set out some years ago and they hope that he's alright. It's been quiet around the house so they welcome the company and would love to hear what the adventurer's life was like which Muineth could tell them. One thing leads to another and they learn about the trouble of finding a place to stay so they offer to let the girl rent their son's room. It's just empty now anyway. The could place the horse and wagon around back and came to live with this family from then on. The wife loves to cook for the group, because she missed cooking for others, and she enjoyed telling the girls about her handsome strong son. You know, trying to endear him to the beautiful ladies. Shahazadi plays some music for them in the evenings and of course we still have to pay some rent, but we got a house we can use at least. With that trouble out of the way they can focus more on finding jobs and this is where they struggle with odd jobs because the guilds are being dicks.<br/><br/>According to Jeflint we're suppose to start the RP in a tavern called the Tavern of the Three Sisters, which is very open and friendly to elves and beastkin and generally all those discriminated against. It's for a furry bard and a lizard bartender apparently. I was thinking this could be the go to bar for Shahazadi and Muineth after a long day of finding work, because it's a place to relax and they don't have to face disapproving looks. Shahazadi can earn some coin with performances there as well.<br/><br/>I talked this over with Jeflint and Keyotess who both liked the idea. It's more personal than just renting a room at a tavern for months. now I hadn't even thought of this yet, but Keyotess suggested that this older couple could perhaps be the Fletchers. Bart's parents. How would that sit with you, and work out story-wise you think?<br/><br/>Perhaps some other Bart's other siblings moved out already as well and so the house has been getting a lot quieter. Some of the youngest ones could still live there I guess.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Well I certainly hadn't thought of anything like this, but it is an interesting idea.  Most of his siblings would've moved out by now with maybe only the youngest daughter still remaining and his parents aren't as young as they used to be, so they would've needed help around the Smithy and wouldn't have sniffed at the opportunity to get it, even if the source was an unusual one.  And I'm sure they would've spoke of their eldest son, Bart, often, but they wouldn't know what has become of him since Bart hasn't visited since the prison.  All they would know is that he's alive since he has sent letters from time to time informing them of such, though never telling them that he's actually in Mirtan and has been there the entire time.<br/><br/>It poses an interesting connection since it wouldn't take long for them to realize that one of their new allies is the Bart Fletcher that they've heard so much about.  Even more interesting when they realize that the stories that his parents tell don't match the man he has become.  Yes, I believe that this would be a lot of fun to pursue and see what comes of it.<br/>
