Carried in on the cold breeze is a heavily cloaked induvidual. Black from head to toe, face shadowed by the deep hood. Even the hands are hidden in rich black leather gloves, but the frail fingers hint at the slight build of the person. The foot steps crunch across the floor heavily, an odd contrast to the slender hands. They work quickly to brush the snow and detritus from the cloak and finally as she approaches a seat near the empty fireplace push the hood aside to reveal deep black skin and thick silvery white hair.
She claps her hands loudly. "Boy get this fire up! Travelers pay to warm their bones, not to watch you dawdle! Now move." She unbuttons the clasp at her neck and lifts the cloak off over her head spreading it across the chair carefully so as not to have to touch any bit of the harsh wood herself. The move reveals the reason for her disparate footsteps. She is wearing a breastplate and chain cinched beneath a fine leather jerkin that pokes out at the neck, sleeves and hems.
The boy moved quickly to stack and stoke the gasping fire careful not to intefere with the dark traveler. She squints at in disdain and mutters something softly. The fire roars to life with a thunderous clap and a a great woosh startling the boy, knocking him backward. She chuckles with smirk, reaches into her pouch and tossed the boy a copper. "For your trouble".
Content at her efforts and the growing warmth she settles into the chair nuzzling into the soft fur liner of her cloak and looks out over the content of the tavern waiting...

Dax walks into the Tavern looking around for people. He spies the lady Drow at the table and moves that way. "Malicity is it? Mind if I join you?" Dax sits down with out waiting for a response.

"Not at all. Enjoy the fire," she motions to a chair near to her. Her nose crickles a bit and she rolls her eyes as he flops into the chair before the completes here reply.
"Help yourself, dark one," she mutters.

"Well yes I shall, thank you." He says with a twinge of sarcasm. Grinning he reveals his fangs. "How far you on this blissful dark night?"

Behind Dax, a man dressed in a burgundy coat and a leather vest walks in not too far behind. On his left side, resting just below his hip is a finely crafted sword with a halfmoon pommel, in which the word Wingbreaker is enscribed. He smiles a cold smile, his features belying that of a normal man, who has been encased in ice. He tilted his head with a grin and called for a bottle. Upon delivery of the bottle he poured the deep red wine into a series of glasses at the table.
"The air is still and calm, It is a good evening indeed, how do the both of you find it?"

"Chilled through and a bit annoyed that my messanger has not arrived yet." she shifts in her seat watching the two at the bar. "I can't stand some of the customs here. How can a woman tolerate such piddle from a man?" her face shows her disdain.
"Boy!" the poor sod who was singed lighting the fire earlier appears. She motions with her hand form him to shut his mouth before a sound could come out. "Bring another bottle of red wine. And for my companion..." she motions towards Dax.

"Being me a tankard of Schnapps. And make it a big one." Dax looks at his companions judging the couple at the bar. He gives a snort. "So what brings you out to the bright side of the world Mal? Done with you plotting?" He asks with a sly chuckle

"A good matron never stops plotting. It is like a spider tending her web, keep it shifting and your enemies shall always find a trap awaiting them."

Aldfalric simply listened for a moment before lifting the glass of wine to his lips. He remarked upon the tankard Dax had ordered and shook his head with a slight shiver. "That my friend, is a hangover waiting to happen." he then motioned the other two near "I have something to show you" he then opened the leatherbound book and flipped a few pages to a distinctive looking sketch. The sketch outlined something similar to a crossbow.
"This, my friends, is a book I brought from home. I will build this. It's called winter's spear."

Malicity motioned the boy off to fetch the drinks, then took her glass up into her hand. She swished it a bit as she considered the picture Aldfalric was showing. "A fine toothpick sling!" she remarked witha high grin. "Seriously another engine? And is this one for your or another espousing lord? Make too many and the Baron may one day realize you have armed half his opponents."

Dax watches the boy as he brings him his order. He throws a wink to at Aldfalric. "Watch this!" Dax takes the tankard of Schnapps and turns it upside down on his mouth. Draining it in several gulps. He finishes with a slight spittle and a hiccup. "Well that was a bad idea." He slurs his words a little.

Aldfalric does a slight doubletake at Dax for a moment, and he chuckled for a moment. "Yes Dax, that was a bad plan" He then turned his head to Malicity. "I have no lord. I am simply an enterprising merchant. But this, this is something truly special." He grinned at the Drow for a moment. "Do you have need of one? This can shatter even the strongest gates, like a stone hitting glass. Even the gates of the underdark can fall to these."

"That is a bold claim my friend. I will have many uses of such an item one day, but all things in order. I do not doubt its potentcy especialy with your craftmanship my good fey. When it is time you will be the first I speak to."

Dax's head hits the table with a resounding thunk. He give a soft groan. "Hey what we talking about? Something to help me break down walls and make war?" His words becoming more slurred but the meaning carrying through.

The door pushed open the door hard, the snow around her knees making it hard move. She wade in, tapped her thigh high boots on the ground and then made her way directly to the fire, taking off her honey badger shawl as she did so. She was so preoccupied with getting warm that she had forgotten that she was surrounded by people.
