"Grok! Got it! Great to meet you!" said Avag, reaching up to shake Grok's hand enthusiastically. "I'm Avag Belzren! Don't worry about drinks, the knight's already covering us all for the night, and this is the kind of swank place where they bring the refills to you! Gotta take advantage of those things when you're an adventurer on the road, right? Beats sleeping in a ditch any day of the week." He grinned his sharp-toothed grin. "And I have a ton of stories! I've been all up and down Chunadie, been to parts of the Giant's Tail, spent some time in the Arcturan Peninsula." Considering how far-ranging Grok's family was, that probably didn't seem that well-travelled at all.
"I'm not exactly the glamorous big hero kind of adventurer like Henri over there wants to be, but I've done my share of good and helped people in tough spots, and isn't that the key thing that being an adventurer is all about? Plus the whole enjoying the excitement, and seeing the sights, but those are just the perks! Most people are good, happy to help out with a travelling adventurer who helps them out in turn, so you can get pretty far just on being a good person. Though I've definitely run into some bad people in my time, and there was no helping them. Speaking of that, my best guess, like you were saying Caulind, is that the dragon we're out for is just a bad person though and through. I've heard a little about her recently, and Henri wasn't making it up when he said people tried to talk her down before. I don't know much of how it went, but since she's still going around terrorizing people and burning fields, I can't imagine she's got much empathy for us mortals. That's why I came here! Stopping her would be doing some real good! Though I won't deny that the reputation would be a huge perk too, for those of us who need it!" He added that last bit while giving Grok a conspiratorial elbow-nudge.
"But you were going to tell a story!" said Avag, climbing back into his chair. "I shouldn't be interrupting, specially since it sounds like a fun one! Where was this prince a prince of?"
