//oh cool

Alexander picked up the payment for the meal and put it in his pockets "what was that all about?" He asked having slow voice and glanced at the goblin and then the orc's "honey I finished table number four's order " called Alexa der wife calld from the kitchen and he sighed "I need to help her carry it out, find out who that was and what is going on " he said to Eleanor and turned around and quickly made his way into the kitchen

Eleanor watched the whole scene in shock the last time sorry fled out the door like he was on fire was when he was caught by his wife with his younger mistresses and that was a complete disaster and hard to forget. Eleanor glanced at her uncle when he mentioned trying to find out who Tailsman was "sure I'll try" she said and glanced at the goblins and took off her apron and waved goodbye to the adventures party who went to their rooms upstairs and walked over to the goblins and smiled "are you alright gentleman, I hope that tiefling didn't upset you" she said softly

The goblin barks out a laugh. "Upset us?" He crows. "Do you know who that was? The markings on his arm! Is' unmistakable!" The other goblin shakes his head ruefully. "Jus' thank your lucky stars it was me an' not my brother here. Now HE woulda caused a riot."

Eleanor rose an eyebrow at the comment and glanced at where Tailsman was originally sitting "I'm afraid I didn't see the marks his hooded cloak was covering them at the time.....who is he" she said and pushed a strand of hair behind her ear "he seemd skittish I'm surprised he seemed a threat to others" she said and said at the two goblins and smiled she thought Tailsman's eyes were rather pretty

The goblins laugh again and shake their heads. "The ol' monster's been like that lately. Since 'bout two years ago. He doesn't destroy things much any more, but that doesn't mean much anyone trusts him. Just you wait, one of these days that demon of his'll break free, and then we're all in for some ride!" The second one orders another pint of ale- these goblins are pretty heavy drinkers for so early in the day- and tilts his head at you curiously. "Say, do you know the story behind 'im? I don't know the whole lot of it, but eh, most everyone knows a true thing or two."

Eleanor intently listened getting more and more curious she wanted to know more about this guy something about him a intrigued her "no I don't know anything about that guy I'm afraid" she said and glanced around and smiled as her uncle walked over and gave the goblins their ale and took the payment with a kind smile and left to clean the bar table. Eleanor glanced back at the two goblins "perhaps I should see what I can find out about him.....only to make sure he causes no trouble" she said lying at the end " it's best to be prepared after all" she mumbled

Meanwhile....

Talisman is well-hidden in the corner of a dark alleyway. If he's lucky, there aren't any gangs or troublemakers hanging about- with only himself, he doesn't stand a chance against the weakest of thieves. There's a whispering at the corner of his mind, the echoes of an all-too-familiar voice. Not necessarily true. You, my dear vessel, are weak, but I am stronger than any of them. Together, we could-
"Shut up," Talisman growls suddenly, causing a couple of vultures in the corner of the alley to take flight. He clenches his fists, glancing at the runes on his arm, which are glowing violently red. "Argh. Mephistopheles, for the last time. I am a different person now. So could you please-" He grits his teeth, trying in vain to conceal his anger. "-bug off! Don't you have better demonic things to do? Terrorizing the souls of the damned or something?" The demon chuckles. But I already am. One soul in particular, actually. "Not funny," Talisman mutters, leaning back against the alley wall.

The goblins are simply talking amongst themselves, laughing and joking as tavern-goers do.
