Roleplay posts: 143 
Age: 31
Physical Description: At slightly-above-average, Feru is a sturdy 5'7" and lightly muscular. For the most part, she is a normal-looking girl, with lightly-tanned skin, brown hair that falls to mid-thigh, and jade green eyes. Oh, did I mention the cat ears and fluffy cat tail? Yes. Those should probably be noted.
--------------------------------
Clothes and Equipment: Habitually, Feru wears a layered outfit mostly comprised of white and grey with shades of purple, and golden accents. A short darkish-purple skirt covers her from hips to upper-thighs, with greyish leggings covering the remainder of her long legs. Atop that rests a light purple vest with dark purple piping and buttons, secured by a grey belt around her waist. Beneath the vest is a short-sleeved shirt in shades of grey and gold piping, with a high collar that comes just beneath her chin. Over the vest is a long, sleeveless coat with a white fur collar, separated at the sides for ease of movement. Completing the look are gauntlets and boots in grey, with gold accents. Ever at her side is the over-sized, long-handled sword that she has affectionately dubbed "Meatwhacker", because of the sound it makes when hitting a fleshy creature.

"Damn right you're hired. I ain't gonna say no to a seasoned swordswoman. 'Sides, you're nice to look at, and I'm always happy to be surrounded by pretty women." A wink was offered to both ladies as she lounged contentedly in her chair. Listening to the exchange between the two, she chuckled. "Gettin' dirty is most of the fun. Whether it's out in the field or in bed." No subtlety there.
Wait, was Krenna asking her permission to put the stories of their fights and stuff to music? Hm. Feru had never thought of that before. When the orc glanced her way, she shrugged, waving a hand idly in her direction. "No fur off my ears, sweet cheeks. Do what ya wanna do. Just don't get in the way of any money-makin'." That was really all she had to say on the matter.

Oleanna lets out a low, rich chuckle. Between Krenna's inexperience, and Feru's shamelessness, this out to be fun. The dame shrugs at Krenna's question.
"I don't mind sharing a few tales, given the proper incentive. You won't be the first bard, to ply a story out of me, probably won't be the last."
Getting to her feet, The Dame opens the door letting the magistrate in. Her keen ears let her hear the man, before he knocked. He is accompanied by a group of guards, most of them have the courtesy not to flinch at her scar. She explains the situation to magistrate, who turns to Feru.
"You are the owner of this establishment? You can vouch for the validated of this?"

Watching the magistrate come in, she dipped her head toward the man and his guards. "Yep. She found 'im and brought 'im in. I do believe ya owe the woman a bounty." Grinning at the fellow, she watched as he grumbled and begrudgingly handed over the pouch full of clinking coins to Oleanna, then gathered his guards - and the fugitive - and departed. Feru cackled. "Sweet justice. Also, sweet money. Win-win situation, right there."

Oleanna chucks the gold onto the table. Then retakes her seat, kicking her legs up. She raises a hand, and begins ticking down a list.
"Upsides to mercenary work: Good money, meeting new people, beating the hell out of new people, you can drink on the job, and you get to set your own hours. Down sides: If crime is down so is business, and fucking bureaucrats. So how are you guys doing this? What's your business model?"

Feru nodded along with Oleanna as she spoke. All of that was true! Being a merc was freakin' awesome, although it did have a few downsides, admittedly. Being asked that question, Feru blinked, then shrugged. "We're currently askin' fifteen percent of any bounty or treasure retrieved from missions of that sort, or twenty-five gold pieces per merc, depending on the mission or which is greater. Everyone gets paid dependin' on their contribution and experience. So that there." She tilted a foot toward the bag of coins on the table. "We'll take fifteen percent, the rest is all yours."
Her gaze darted toward Krenna, and she arched a brow. "Ya okay over there, girly? Did we scare ya? Or are ya imaginin' a romp in the sheets with two fine ladies such as ourselves?" She winked at Krenna and growled playfully. Teasing the innocent ones was just too much fun.

Physical Description: Krenna is a half-orc, graced with more of her mother's human parentage than her father's orcan. She stands nearly six and half feet tall, athletic and well-built like her father's people. Her yellow-brown skin is clean and decorated by several well made tattoos. Shoulder length black hair with a center part is highlighted by stark white streaks at the front and decorated with small bird feathers in bright colors. A mole on her left cheek is the only obvious blemish, but her dark eyes and permanent smirk draw the eyes away from it.

Clothes and Equipment: Krenna keeps her clothing and armor fastidiously clean. The bright red leather weave armor is supple and conforms to her musculature, weaving like a snake skin around her frame. Draped around her waist are several daggers and a long sword with a decorative hilt. A sanshin of her own making is always strapped to her back, giving the impression that it could snap at any time, but never actually doing so.

Krenna blinked at Feru's latest flirtation. She was getting accustomed to it already, but it was still something of an uncomfortable experience. Men had always given her a wide berth due to her stature, and women either wanted her to help move heavy things, or thought they'd get some skin-color-turning illness from her. She needed to find a way to cope though, because she definitely wasn't going to be able to hide her excitement over getting into the heroism action for long.
"I'm not imagining anything of the sort, Miss Feru. But I feel as though something very basic is worth questioning here. If someone like Dame Oleanna can do this on her own, and she very obviously can, why would she, or any other capable mercenary want to join a company that takes a part of their profit?" She hadn't meant the question to be pointed, but she suddenly felt it might have been a little rude to put in such a direct way.
Admittedly, Krenna knew very little of how these types of companies worked, and it wasn't the money that drew her here to begin with. Still, she could see her future in this Oleanna's legacy. She had a feeling Feru would be worth following too, if for nothing else than some of the bawdy tales that tavern men seemed to enjoy so much.

Oleanna chuckles at Krenna and her naivety. The girl clearly had her head in the clouds, more concerned about finding a good story, than with reality.
"15% seems more than fair."
She nods at Feru, before once again turning her gaze on the orc. One milky grey eye stares off sightlessly, one bright green eye focuses in.
"I may be able to take down a runner like that guy, by myself. But if I want to take down a big bounty, like say a gang of criminals I need back up. I may be a one woman army, but I am not invincible. Joining a company gives you people you can rely on, resources and intelligence to draw on, plus you don't have to manage your own jobs. The boss gets you a gig, assigns you the appropriate resources and backup, you do the work, and they take a cut to keep things running smoothly."

Feru twitched her ears and snorted. She'd let Oleanna handle that one. Nodding in agreement at the other woman's explanation. Though she did have something of her own to add, as well. "Not to mention, with a base like this, we provide those with no place of their own a place to sleep, and food. The money we take is kept in store to help when someone needs the extra cash, or some new armor or a weapon, and to pay for keeping the place up and everyone fed."
There came a hesitant knock at the door, and Feru blinked, then vaulted over the table and trotted up to it. Pulling open the portal, she peered at the person there, and was soon engaged in a whispered conversation. Spinning a quick about-face, she ran back over and grabbed Meatwhacker. "Sorry ladies, but I got somethin' to take care of. I'll be back in a day or two. If a lady Gnome comes in, tell her I've gone, and she's in charge till I get back." She paused halfway out the door and winked at both of them. "Don't do anythin' I wouldn't do." With that, she was out the door.

Krenna felt a little sheepish. She hadn't realized being a hero required so much micromanagement. Her mentor never actually talked about the time he'd spent adventuring, and most of the people she had grown up with were just sailors or guild carpenters and merchants. The sudden realization that she might be out of her league left her feeling a little sick to her stomach.
She had started to raise her head to apologize when Feru bounded from her seat for the door. And then with very little explanation, she was gone. Now Krenna sat in a large room in a strange place with a woman she had only just met and had probably managed to already offend.
"So, um, sorry." She looked at Dame Oleanna, trying to gauge her level of irritation. It was proving difficult. It wasn't often men, let alone women didn't try to avoid eye contact with her, so Oleanna's unflinching gaze, despite her smaller stature, made her a little uncomfortable.
Krenna stared intently at her own thumbs for a few moments and then pulled the sanshin from her back and nervously plucked at the strings and adjusted the tuners of the already in-tune instrument.
Also, she still hadn't even met whomever it was that owned this company with Feru. She had never even met a gnome to begin with, though had heard of them in tales. Was this gnome person as unpredictable as Feru? Maybe she was the 'brains' of the operation where Feru obviously provided some muscle with her large sword. What kind of name was 'Meatwhacker' anyway? Then she found herself blushing again as she thought of Feru's lasciviousness and other things that might be called such behind closed doors.

Depending on how observent Krenna is, she may note that Oleanna simply wears an amused expression. Though it is hard to tell, past the scar. She clambers to her feet, and pulls a mug of ale.
"Well she is certainly trusting. Giving two people she just met, the run of the place."
Drink served she sets it to her lips, draining it in one long pull. When she is finished, she lets out a little gasp of satisfaction. Next the dame fixes herself a plate of food, grabs another ale, and retakes her seat.
"So, which backwater town did you come out of?"

"I've lived here for as long as I can remember. Do I seem that ignorant?" Krenna was a little upset at the question. Probably more upset than she had a right to be. Still, this was her home, and despite most of its denizens treating her with stares and sometimes disdain, she was proud to be a local.
Trying to back down a little, she took a drink of her ale and let it slide over her tongue and into her stomach. It could use a little honey. "You look like you've probably made a name for yourself. Where are you from? I don't think I've ever met an elf as tall as you, and certainly not a woman." A little late, she hoped Oleanna didn't mistake her comment as a boast about her own height. 'For a bard, you are certainly doing terrible with your words tonight,' she thought to herself.

Oleanna arches a single eyebrow in surprise. She takes a bite of her pork, a sip of ale, thinking about her answer.
"Ignorant? I suppose, no shame in ignorance though. There is only shame in trying to hide it, refusing to ask questions. Still I would have used idealistic, and honestly I am surprised. Most city dwellers have the idealism, beaten out of them. Good on you for keeping it."
The dame chuckles as Krenna stumble over her words, oh to be young again. Though Oleanna still looked young thanks to her elven heritage, she had, as the saying went, lived like a human. Unlike many of her kin, she had gone out and lived her life. Most human do more living in 80 years, than an elf in 800. She on the other hand, had done more living in 10 years, than some humans do in a life time.
"I've made quite a few names for myself. I used to run the Crimson Ladies, mercenary troop. Earned more than a dozen nicknames: The Crimson Lady, The Fire Queen, The Red Knight, The Daring Dame, and my personal favorite, The Burning Bitch. Don't know how popular those stories are now though."

Oleanna snorts, at the memory. She always liked that story, where she was a 12 foot tall ogre burning down a town.
"Yeah that one is about me. Bards tend to change a few details, when you reject their advances. Especially when you reject their advances, by throwing them into a well."

Physical Description: Krenna is a half-orc, graced with more of her mother's human parentage than her father's orcan. She stands nearly six and half feet tall, athletic and well-built like her father's people. Her yellow-brown skin is clean and decorated by several well made tattoos. Shoulder length black hair with a center part is highlighted by stark white streaks at the front and decorated with small bird feathers in bright colors. A mole on her left cheek is the only obvious blemish, but her dark eyes and permanent smirk draw the eyes away from it.

Clothes and Equipment: Krenna keeps her clothing and armor fastidiously clean. The bright red leather weave armor is supple and conforms to her musculature, weaving like a snake skin around her frame. Draped around her waist are several daggers and a long sword with a decorative hilt. A sanshin of her own making is always strapped to her back, giving the impression that it could snap at any time, but never actually doing so.

Krenna snickered. "Embellishment is the cream on the tart, is what my mentor told me." A sudden feeling of awe and trepidation filled her chest. 'This is it,' she thought. 'I'm in the company of a legend right now!' The grin on her face would probably be visible for miles under a fool moon.
"It sounds like you've maybe traveled with a bard already... I, uh... Won't give you that kind of trouble though!" Krenna didn't want to ruin her chances to be around for whatever heroic deed Dame D'Ignis performed next.
She had the sudden urge to play and sing something epic. She smiled at Oleanna with confidence she hadn't felt until now. "Could I convince you to hear me play, Dame?"

Oleanna snorts at the girl. Once again, wondering what it would be like to be young again.
"Seeing as I have no intention of moving, till I am solidly plastered, I don't see how I have much of a choice. Go right ahead Krenna, wow me. Maybe after you do, I'll share one of my more recent tales."

Krenna felt a bit of joy that such an experienced adventurer was willing to listen to her. She set the plate that had been on her lap on the floor next to her chair and fully assumed the posture of a sanshin player. She plucked the strings a little hesitantly, make sure the tuning was settled, and when they were, she drew in a deep breath.
The smooth tenor of her voice and delicate plucking joined as one immediately as she started into her tale.
"... and the ground beneath him shook
as the mighty best fell to the ground!"
She finished a little excited; a little nervous. She rated it a 7+ out of 10. She quickly looked over at Oleanna before the last note settled to try to gauge her opinion.

Oleanna gives the girl a smile. Kreanna wasn't half bad, not the best the dame had heard, but far from the worst. She gets up and and pulls another mug of ale.
"Not bad, good enough for a story. Let's see... I kicked the shit out of a golem in Gaiaton not too long ago. The whole thing was a cluster, fuck. There was this twisted merchant prick, who was using an old relic to control two powerful statue golem things. He wanted to off the mayor, right and I was part of the defenders. On statue got past us, leaving me, five guards, and the other to fend it off. Thing was damn near un-killable, but I got an idea."
She takes a pull of her ale.
"I wasn't wearing my armor at the time, so I had created a suit of frost armor. I subsumed that spell, and froze the damn thing in place. Leaving me unprotected, and it breaking through some ice. I start charging up a fire spell, cause something I learned the hard way is: If something gets really cold, then really hot it shatters. It got it's tale free and it started kicking the ass of the guards, even started a fire. Realizing I didn't have much time, I jump into the fire and use the heat from it to fuel my spell."
Another long pull.
"I manage to finish charging right as the golem charges me. I hit it with the hottest fire I can right in the chest, as it hit me in the chest. I got the better of the exchange though, since it fucking shattered right good. All I had were a few broken ribs, and some first degree burns. Which would have been worth it, but the damn thing reformed. Abject lesson to ya, you can win but still lose."
Oleanna scowls at the memory, and gets another drink.

Krenna sat, rapt in Oleanna's tale. This was it. This is what she'd been looking for. An excitement welled up inside her that was hard to contain or disguise. She was equal parts in awe of Oleanna and in the throes of desire to follow her to the borders of Gauldin and beyond. What amazing tales could she bring to life in song, just by being a bystander to these heroic deeds!
Realizing she probably looked like a small child fascinated by tales of leprechauns and gold, she gathered her wits as best she could. "That's amazing," she croaked. "Please let me attend your adventures! I won't get in the way. I... I have been practicing with my sword!" Krenna grabbed at the hilt of the brand new, unmarred sword at her hip. "But I guess... I guess I could learn a thing or two." Who was she kidding? This was a seasoned hero she was talking to. She could never hope to keep up with that. But if she could just tag along, watch from afar. Oh, the exploits she would sing of!
"Uh, sorry. I'm just a little excited." Krenna looked down at the floor. "I know I'm not an adventurer. I might be a liability even... But if I could just tag along with you, or Miss Feru... I know I could make your stories famous around the world, not just in Gauldin!" Was she even thinking about what was spilling out of her mouth? This was crazy.

Oleanna shrugs her shoulders, lord but this girl was excitable.
"If Feru hired you on, I don't mind having a partner. Especially one that looks like they can carry my weight, and their own."
She lifts one corner of her mouth, into a teasing smile.
"Now if you will excuse me, I am going to get blissfully drunk, and pass out."
Oleanna proceeded to be true to her word.
