The Man with the Dragon Tattoo ((TS: April 13 @ 7pm))

[Gennaro M]

A greying Human past his middle age approaches Ralinwood from the direction of the docks. He is dressed in salt-stained black mariner's garb and has a shortsword attached to one hip, and a variety of knives at the other. A tangle of fishing line makes for a makeshift knot of a bowtie that cinches his shirt at his neck. A faint clink can be heard as he walks.

Most notably, a tattoo on his left cheek in the shape of a dragon glows a faint, light blue colour. His deepset eyes crunch as he studies the settlement he's come upon. After a brief pause, he begins to walk over to the tavern, muttering quietly.

[Wizwik]

-Wizwik is sitting outside the Tavern enjoying his early dinner and the nice weather, he notices the man coming towards the tavern and politely waves to him. His mechanical gauntlet on his arm, with his spear resting against him while he eats-

[Arcadeus Ziggurat]

*Arcadeus passes by on his nightly patrol, but stops as he sees the faint glow of the man's tattoo. He approaches him*

"Good evening, mate. Pardon my intrusion, but I noticed the mark of the firstborn upon your face. My name is Arcadeus, Adherent of the Turquoise... would you be the one they call Old Dragon?"

[Deago Dall]

*Deago is on his way into the tavern when he spots the man. He slows down and watches from a reasonable distance.*

[Van Medicus]

*Van approaches the tavern but slows as he notices people gathering but continues"

[Gennaro M]

The man slows as he's approached by the other in black. He rests his hands casually on the hilt of his sword and one of his daggers, stopping entirely. He's a good head taller than the other fisherman, and despite calluses, his fingers look deft and capable.

He spits to one side as he studies Arcadeus. "The Lady's never mentioned you," he drawls with a gravelly voice, the sound coming as if from vocal cords in disuse, "but I'm on my way to see her after getting some food in me. She can confirm or deny your claim, such as it is." Unless stopped, he moves to step around Arcadeus toward the Tavern.

[Andrei Katrares]

*Levi walks by from the direction of the tavern.*

"I believe that's a dramatists' way of saying yes, Arcadeus. And I had hoped there was salt cod for sale."

*Levi continues onwards towards the direction of Emerald Company camp.*

[Arcadeus Ziggurat]

*As he moves past*

"I am new here. That would be why. I'll be around here when you get back. I wish to help with the invasive species"

*He scratches his beard and sits in a chair*

[Gennaro M]

The man stops and turns back to Arcadeus at the mention of an invasive species. "And what do you know about that?" he asks in a neutral tone.

[Arcadeus Ziggurat]

*He looks at him. He speaks in a dry tone*

"I know I tangled with one. Giant salamander. Probably a magical beast. Acidic tail. Seem to be after magical energy. Stole a captain's magical bauble"
*He pauses*

"Mrs. Squilly told me you were warning people of them. I did not wish to harm a denizen of the deep without first making sure The Maker, Physignathus, was angered or not by their presence"
*He smiles, stroking his soul patch once*

"Perhaps you could inform me over a hot meal, Captain...?"
*he gestures to the tavern*
