Smoldering Wizard's Old-School Gaming Forums

Using the butt of his spear as a walking stick to probe in front of him, Dahl leads the way onto the overgrown path. If there is room for two on the path, he will suggest Albin keep ahead with him, while Holger and Finnur march in the rear. As he is focused on the way directly in front of him, Dahl ...

Dahl Kolla nods at Lislgen, then reaches out his gauntleted hand to gently grasp Memphisto’s shoulder. “I am here, my friend. I am ready now.” Dahl stares at the young apprentices for a bit, then looks at Holger. A rather grim “Yes” is all he says before turning back to his mates with a grin only t...

With a bit of a dumb twinkle in his eye, Dahl returns Lisglen’s smile. “Truly, you are a wiser man than I!”

Dahl Kolla bows his head in appreciation and takes a seat at the table. “You speak truly, Memphisto. Yet if we can hire but one worthy this will be an evening well spent.” Dahl Kolla pauses, listening intently as he eyes the room. “I hope the young acolyte will be joining us soon.”

Dahl Kolla will observe the men-at-arms, gauging their reactions. He is watching for one who is interested but not boisterous, a strong but humble man (and seemingly lawful, to the extent that such a thing may ‘seem’ to be). When he has his man and the opportunity affords itself, Dahl Kolla will ap...
