The Haunted Forest RPG

Ezria talks to the barmaid for what seems like hours. She never tells him her name, he never asks. He was right about her though, she did know more than she was letting on. He managed to persuade her to help them lure the knight out, in exchange for her freedom; a cut of the money. He wasn't so pleased about that part, but things always had a way of working out.

"So listen. It's a deal, right?" He looks at her intently.
"Deal." She smiles lightly, and then turns away and steps into the back room.
Ezria straightens his jaw again and exhales. He puts his hands on his hips, glancing quickly up at the clock he sees there is only a couple of hours of light left in the day. He decides to wait it out here at the bar, Zahir will be back soon.

Zahir presses the thin vampire, who simply grins at Zahir's poisonous glare. "I'll just take a favor. You know how it works, Zahir. I do you a favor, you do me one. The guild isn't the place for you to be pretending that you gonna kill whoever disagrees with you. We are all of the same trade here. Point that finger elsewhere."
Zahir rolls his eyes and sighs, then he spits on the ground next to the vampire . " Fine. I'll owe you, to be collected later. But I haven't weighed the info you got for me. If it ain't worth my time, I ain't going to pay. Got it?"
The thin vampire squares off and looks Zahir in the face. " Works for me. Alright then, I saw the dark Knight, Revan, come into town a few days ago for supplies and a stopover at the shady inn over near the market. You know the place. Apparently he's taken a fancy to someone there, don't know who."
Zahir grinned and turned away from the vampire. Waving his hand dismissively, he stated," that will do. I owe you now. See you ' round, bloodsucker. " He gestured around the room." And all you other chumps too!" He stated with a laugh. They all laughed raucously with him.
Coming out from the back room, he stopped at the counter. " Well shopkeep, I'd like 2 dozen throwing daggers. And how about some of that wire up there? That wire could cut through a tree trunk! " Zahir spends a half hour fawning over some of the special merchandise, picking out and preparing for the upcoming brawl.
After visiting a few more locations, he begins to migrate back towards the inn. He's got plenty of time, so he swipes an egg from one of the market stalls and swallows it down, meandering his way there.
He walks into the tavern at the inn, looking for Ezria.
 
Ezria hears the door opening and lifts his head from the bar to see who's entered.
He grins and jumps down from his chair.
"You're back early."
 
" Yeah, I guess I am," drawls Zahir. " I learned a little bit. Seems our 'friend' comes in for supplies every couple of days. I suppose the man ain't a farmer, so it only makes sense."
Zahir pulls up a stool next to Ezria. " It also seems he frequents this place. We might be able to set something up. I'm not sure exactly what yet, but it's a great start. Did you find something?"
