You Met in a Tavern...

Details

Ardglass is an intersection. An intersection of countless streets shaded by row upon row of buildings. An intersection of trade, as the largest port city in all of Kyvalore. An intersection of culture, as all those who deliver goods to and from the port mingle and cross each other's lives. This, and much more. Currently you are dealing with the intersection of sea spray and your face, as a wave crashes against the dock you are standing on.
Protecting your bag of letters, you accept one more from the shipmaster before they return to their moderate sized, barnacle crusted vessel. The Portman’s Call, this letter was destined to, the last one to be delivered before your obligations were finished. The sun still had a few hours left before it hit the horizon, so there was still plenty of time left for activities afterward. Shaking off the seawater, you make your way off the docks and onto the roughly cobbled streets of Ardglass proper.  

The buildings are tightly packed and irregular in their design. Some are single storied, others two or even three stories tall. Streets and alleyways intersect at slightly irregular intervals, the impression given that infrastructure was added wherever there was room to fit something new, when the town was originally constructed. The main commonality between them was creamy walls of various aged tones of brown and green, and similarly with red clay shingle roofing. Weaving your way through a decently large press of other travelers and traders, you take in the sights sounds and smells of Ardglass. The warm buttery embrace of Lynorre pastries wafts past you from a nearby bakery, as you eye a stand selling the freshest of Everdenn’s fruit.
Passerby’s are clanging mugs together of drink brought all the way down from the height of  Durmur’s peak, and they rip at flanks of Fayewood’s meats. The sounds of laughter from nearby inns, clattering of wooden wheels against the stone, and the soft mewing of hidden Fellkies all vie for your attention.

 Following the directions given to you, scribbled on the back of a month-old shipping manifest, you make your way to The Portman’s Call. A sign hangs above the front door, a lighthouse shining bright against the night’s sky emblazoned upon it, while a sign board on the road next to the inn advertises a well-priced ‘Sip and Sleep’ package. Inside the inn is a long bar for patrons to eat or drink at, or just query for a room for the night.
To the right is a roaring fireplace, bringing in much needed warmth to the dozen or so people enjoying it’s aura. The farther left you go the darker it gets, with only a few candle lamps keeping things visible. A shrouded figure sits in the back of this dark corner (because of course they do), and seems to be who you are looking for.

Osiris, the older avilli with an olive-brown face and his mana rune marked upon his forehead. You can see the sigil, stark white against the darker fur, peeking out from under a brown cowl. He’s enjoying a hot soup and a mug as you approach. He lowers his hood as you approach, and a network of scars adds many years to his face. “And who might you be?” He asks of you.

 Draw or write about your character in the Inn delivering the letter to Osiris. How do they approch the old avilli? Are they afraid of his grumpy and battle scarred looks?

Scrubbing the Deck

Ahoy there!

Details

In the busy port of Ardglass there’s no shortage of work to be found, the most common being cleaning up ships. Captains and their crews are always looking for a pair of willing hands to scrub the deck or clean barnacles off the hull. It’s hard work, but it’s short, pays well, and there’s plenty available. And for the less athletically inclined, there’s always plenty of other tasks, like sewing sails or checking rope.

Draw or write about your character signing up to one of these part time jobs. How do they manage the workload? Is working on a ship something they’d like to do, or just a means to an end?

Drawing Requirements:
A partial body character and a basic background

Writing Requirements:
