Approaching the table

Walking closer, you’re able to get a better look at the adventurers who sit before you. The argument appears to be between two men. One looks to be a roguish type judging by his black leather armor and his twin daggers currently in sheathes on his chest. Behind the black hood and red bandana he wears across his mouth, you can see a determined pair of hazel eyes. Despite the heated argument he doesn’t seem to raise his voice as he casually leans back on his chair. He wears a silver ranked adventurer badge around his neck.

The other figure towers over the rest at the table. A human with shoulder length wavy blonde hair with a short-cropped beard to match. Unlike the relaxed rogue, he stands tall with a frustrated look in his deep blue eyes. He wears silver plate armor that bears an unfamiliar crest of a golden bear’s head. His hands rest dangerously on a polearm that lies on the table in front of him. You gather that he must be a lancer class, which is a pretty exclusive role in the Adventurer’s Guild. It requires many years of training to master a lance weapon, so most lancers are the sons and daughters of nobles. He wears a silver ranked adventurer badge around his neck. You wonder if he bought his way to silver, or actually earned it.

Between the two men sits a girl smaller than even you, at about 4 feet tall. What you initially mistook for someone’s daughter or something appears to be a gnome. What tips you off is the bright pink hair, which is quite a common feature of gnomes. Many gnomes choose to dye their hair all sorts of bright colors in an attempt to stand out. Gnomes are one of the rarer races on the continent due to their isolationist attitudes. Most gnomes prefer to be left to their own devices, literally. Even the dwarves are envious of some of the devices gnomes can create. Unlike the dwarves who just focus on craftsmanship and refining their techniques, the gnomes blend magic and science to create wonders. The gnome girl looks defeated as she rests her head and arms on the table. She looks up to you as you approach, and you get a better look at her. Her bright pink hair is tucked up into two twin pigtails that hang down to her chest. Her eyes strike you as odd on account of being pink to match her hair. Judging by her clerical vestments and the emblem they bear, she seems to be a cleric of Mechus, the gnomish god of creation. Looking at her clothes you notice she is quite flat chested. You also notice she wears chainmail under her vestments, a good sign of competence. She wears a bronze ranked adventurer badge around her neck.
