Cypress smiled and stopped at the edge of the table. He clasped wrists with Entreri, smiling broadly at the sullen look on his face. "Cheer up your highness, I only have but a few questions today." He laughed at the annoyed look that was passed his way. Cypress released his hand, sitting in the chair next to him and offering the other chair for Dawn to sit in. "And to be correct, my lordship, it is she who has the questions."
Cypress smirked at the look he knew Entreri was giving him, it was that look that would make a sane man fear for his life. Cypress had never really been sane. He turned to Dawn. "This is Dawn,she needs some help finding some things."

Dawn glanced around then took the seat Cypress offered to her. though she did not relax in the least, still on her guard. Dawn looked from Cy to the stranger in teh shadows. When Cy said that she was the one with the questions she took her cue...
I am looking to discover what happened to the elves of Teshyl some thirty to forty years ago. she started

Artemis leaned back in his chair, thinking. He lifted one hand and ran his fingers through his thick hair. He dropped his hand down to his drink and lifted it to his lips, taking a slow daft of the liquor. "I would have to think on it a moment." He looked to Cypress, smiling very slightly. "You bring a woman to me that I do not know and just expect me to answer any question she asks?"

Cypress chuckled nervously. "Well I was hoping that you could help her." He slid one hand across table resting it against Entreri's. He pulled his hand back, leaving the few gold coins under Entreri's hand. He chewed his lip. "Please answer her questions Artemis."
[occ: it might be good if you, Alex, would make some kind of indication as to what you want to have happened to her people. it is your character]

[uh.... i think... it should be like... when the village was raided... say by like.. orcs or some other evil race... they fled.. they were sorely out numbered and had no hope of reinforcements to arrive in time... but as they were fleeing thier home... they were seperated... and one by one each group was found and cornered.... and... i think you can fill in the rest ^_^]
Dawn watched them closely... she looked form Cypress to the man Cy had just named Artemis. In side she was panicing.. maybe she would finally learn the fate of her people! But she hid her excitment and trepidation well...

Artemis brushed his fingers absently over his chin, thinking. "Teshyl..." He leaned forward. "As far as I can remember, it was a raid." He lifted his mug to his lips and took another drink, signaling the bar maid over to refill his glass. He turned his eyes to Cypress, tilting his head. "And they ran trying to escape, but there was no hope for them. They were separated and killed either singly or in groups." He nodded his head at the woman who was looking at him with confusion. He waved his hand at her impatiently to make her leave. " It was brutal and bloody." He said in his usual cold fashion.

A raid? Led by whom? Dawn pressed Artemis, ignoring his casual voice and his wave of his hand... she wanted to know more. She had to know. She would pay whatever price to learn the fate of her people... of her parents... and friends.
At last maybe she had found the one to give her those answers! For he seemed to know what had happened. She had to get him to speak more of it!

Cypress inconspicuously slipped Artemis a bit of gold under the table to keep him talking. The girl was beautiful and he had been alone for a while now. If he could find the answers the girl sought then perhaps he would be allowed to remain with her on her campaign. He glanced nervously at Artemis, wondering if he would deem this worth his effort.

Artemis smiled and tucked the money away into his pouch, a bit more willing now to answer these annoying questions. Money had been tight since him and Jarlaxle split up, no weird adventures to provide coin. He had bounty hunted a bit, done some informing like now, but the thrill was gone. Artemis considered going back to Jarlaxle, but not right now. He tilted his head at Dawn. “Just orcs and other such dirty things. Really it wasn’t very organized and I don’t know exactly how the village was so devastated.”

Dawn did her best to steady her nerves. SHe bit her lip and sat back again. Orcs? Are you sure there wasn't someone leading them? Please.. i nust know. She said leaning forward again. She thought of her little brother and sister. She'd promised them she'd find out what happened.. and maybe find tehir people. Her bright blue eyes gazed intently at Artemis... he had to know.. no one else had even been able to give her this much!

Cypress reached out tentatively and touched Dawn's arm. He wanted to offer a little comfort, though he knew she probably wouldn't appreciate it.

Artemis shook his head, pushing his cowl back off his face. "No there wasn't anything leading them. There wasn't some diabolical plan to over throw the village." He lifted his mug, took a draft, then set it down, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. He leaned forward. "It was orcs, maybe some verbeeg, but that's all. It was a group of vermin who had surprise on their side against a lot of under-armed, unprepared people."

Dawn wanted to refute the man's claims... wanted to argue that her people were prepared. But, of coarse, she could not remember such details, otherwise she wouldn't even be needing this man's help.
She sighed slightly and glanced to Cy before standing up. Thank you good sir, for what help you have given me, though it wasn't much. she said reaching into her money pouch on her left hip and putting a handful of gold coins on the table then turning to head out, looking to Cypress as she turned, her blue eyes blazing with a need to go out in search of her people.

Cy smiled and rolled his eyes at Artemis. "She gives you gold when I've alreadu given so much." he shook his head and went after Dawn, not bothering to look back at Artemis.

Dawn left the tavern swiftly, glancing around, up and down the small road. She didn't notice that Cy was following her.Her head was spinning with teh information Artemis had told her. Orcs? stupid filthy orcs!? She couldn't wrap her head around the fact that it seemed that her people were routed by simple orcs!
