In the Rin and Zane part 2 thread Zane mentioned he was already paid up for the next few days to stay at the Inn of the Last Home so the events in this thread take place the day after the events in the "rin meets zane part 2 " thread ... basically close to a year before the "actual" start of the campaign, the year 351 AC - the first day of the year 351 AC actually ...
Here's a copy and paste of pirateking's initial post for Udyr reprinted here
It had only been a month since he had met Rin and ate at the Inn of the Last Home, Udyr thought of the place... It wasn't overly pertentious, it was actually... tolerable, and the spiced potatoes were delicious. Udyr's stomach growled, he hadn't had much to eat that day and the potatoes began to sound even better, he could almost taste them. "It would only be a two day trek back to Solace..." he thought to himself as he layed out underneath the trees looking up at the starlit sky. "And I wouldn't mind swimming once more in the waters of Crystalmir Lake..." he thought, almost trying to convince himself, but he had already decided... he would start his trip to Solace in the morning
(and here's "part 2" of what happens when he ends up at the Inn of the Last Home )
Just as Udyr had planned he arrived late at night in Solace, confident that most of the residents would be asleep and he could enjoy the Inn of the Last Home in the same atmosphere of peace and quiet he had the last time... the big man's hopes were dashed as he ventured closer to the Inn ... despite the late hour of the night lights were on in many of the houses and he could hear the excited chatter of the residents within.
He was tempted to turn back.. but he hadn't stopped to try and capture any game for his meal, wanting to save room for the potatoes he could still taste as if it was yesterday despite the thirty days that had passed in actuality... it was late at night.... the cold weather hardly bothered him if he slept out in the forest, he knew how to take care of himself, how to stay warm ...
(in game terms "he had a lot of ranks in survival skill", always a good thing )
But the lack of food would be ... irritating.. swearing loudly and irritably he continued on his way.
" Happy Yearshh Day ! " slurred a drunken young man as Udyr passed him by.. Udyr growled at him - eyes wide the young man scooted backwards several steps and gave the druid a wide berth.... " What the hell was " Happy Years Day " anyways? " The angry thought ran through Udyr's mind... some sort of stupid city-folk celebration it looked like.
*************************************************
The countdown to the end of the old year and the beginning of the new... Happy Year Day... was well underway... ale and wine had flown aplenty, Tika with the other "temporary" barmaids hired for this busy time of the year had run back and forth between the kitchen, the bar and the customers, Otik had sweat dripping from his bald head ... Zane watched Rin lead the patrons in a rousing chorus of the traditional song this time of the year... he didn't sing along though.. his thoughts were far away... LAURANA... how he wished she could be here sitting next to him during this holiday.. during ANY holiday... (Zane would know what the Happy Year Day holiday was btw , as would Rin of course )
Udyr winced at the noise as he entered ... despite how busy she was Tika noticed him immediately.. a small , almost shy, smile appeared on her face... despite her haggard look she signalled to him - pushing an already drunk and unconscious dwarf off a bar-stool she wildly waved her arms to Udyr, signalling to him that he should sit there - she vanished into the kitchen reappearing with a huge pile of spiced potatoes and an equally huge tankard of ale sitting it on the spot she'd pointed out to him.. it seemed as if Udyr was getting a LOT of attention compared to the other customers, something immediately apparent to Zane and Udyr (and Rin if he decides to take note of it while singing )
(if Udyr takes his seat where Tika's indicating that puts him right next to Zane who is also at the bar .. Zane and Udyr would recognize each other " Hey that's that guy up in the tree with the bow ! " " Hey that's the guy who yelled at the young lovers right after rescuing them by kicking the bear in the balls " .. Rin's performance can end at any time darkalloy chooses leaving darkalloy free to join them )
