Labyrinths and Loyalties Part 2

The preparation for the journey began with quite interesting.  Magenta went to the adventures tavern by the east city wall.  She was in search of capable mercenaries to aid with the quest at hand.  Offering treasure and gems she unknowingly seduced Rongrub Ironknoll. Rongrub was a dwarf who just happened to be a craftsman and capable of making the finest jewelry.  Only issue with Rongrub was he had a horrible vice for being constantly drunk.  Rongrub had drank his fair share of the taverns back stock and the barkeep was desperate to get the dwarf out.  The barkeep offered Magenta a couple gold coins for luring Rongrub out of the bar.

On the way out of the tavern Rongrub, stumbled and fell on top of Magenta.  After falling Rongrub dozed off into a drunken stupor.  Magenta was pinned between the floor and a very hefty and drunk dwarf.  She frantically tried to wedge herself out from under the dwarf, but was unsuccessful.   Magenta desperately tried to wake the dwarf up; but her voice fell on deaf ears.  The sight was a humorous one at that, patrons of the tavern laughed an howled at the lady in distress.  Then all of a sudden Magenta was on her feet.  A very dark, handsome, and mysterious looking man had pulled her to her feet; all while picking the dwarf up with one hand.

Magenta quickly in her disbelief studied the man.  He appeared human; but seemed to be from a different country than any she had studied.  The man had dark chocolate skin, a golden goatee, and bright crystal blue eyes.  His form was divine of any standards; even with his cloak and armor on, Magenta could see this man was well built.  His deep red cloak covered most of his armor, but she could see his armor looked to be solid gold and appeared to have some rubies on it.  The barkeep broke Magenta's gaze shoving her and the dwarf out into the streets.  Magenta wondered to herself what it would take to get that man to join them on their quest.  He looked quite capable compared to all of the others she had seen.
