The bar was still reeling from the momentary chaos when the bard and her companion entered. Their conversation died momentarily as they absorbed it all. Her own allegiance lay with Matthew but there was no use getting herself killed by shouting it in a crowded tavern. Not just yet anyway. There was celebration to be done. After all the time they'd spent away, Marienne was looking forward to a drinking on her home soil and Ausk was her favorite drinking buddy.<br/><br/><strong>"Trouble indeed,"</strong>Marienne agreed.<strong>"Best stay out of it until we have food and drink in our bellies."</strong>She had a smile on her face as she made her way up to the bar but behind it she was casually surveying the room. It never hurt to get an idea of who was around. After all, there were more than a few young men who still fancied her hand in marriage. While Marienne wanted to think they wouldn't recognize her after the last few years, she knew that she didn't look that much different than she had at twenty five.<br/><br/>Once at the bar, Marienne waited to get the barkeep's attention. It usually didn't take long with her pretty face and brightly colored clothes. Mari had never been one to blend in with the crowd at least not without good reason.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Marienne's Stats</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div class="floatleft">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/9/92/Marienne_BR.gif)</div><strong>Marienne Harcourt, Age 29, Bard.</strong><br/>STR 16   DEX 14   CON 11   <br/>INT 14   WIS 10   CHA 18   <br/>HP 17   AC 14<br/><br/>Character Sheet (http://www.dndsheets.net/view.php?id=38998)<br/>Character Profile (http://angelictraces.tumblr.com/post/28223709255/marienne)<br/>Outfit (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=55836923) or a close estimation thereof. =p<br/><br/>ROLLS: Knowledge (Nobility), At 2012-08-10 01:51:45, Marienne (uid: 36302) rolls: 1d20a3 Result: 6 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=40543)<br/>Perception, At 2012-08-10 02:10:34, Marienne (uid: 36302) rolls: 1d20a2 Result: 16 (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=40544)<br/><br/>NOTES: Marienne's father is a lord as well, so she might be recognized on a good roll. =)<br/></div></div>
