Dogura knocked on the door to the cottage. No answer. Dogura was now thankful for the equipment he had made. Rather than dressing in his robe, and tabi, under his armor he wore a padded and insulated chainmail, and he was wearing what looked like thermal sweatpants, and a pair of Kokiri Boots which he had purchased at Rauru Town. He pounded on the door, and still no answer. He turned and gave Kasei and Orpheous a look of dismay. "Castle Town is only three or four miles away. If we begin walking now, then we may have time to-"

He was cut short by the sound of locks being turned. Tumblers were heard, and the door creeked open. A Goron in a coat was standing in the doorway. "Ohhh! Dogura! It has been farrr to long brother!" He reached out, and pulled Dogura in, and gave him a back breaking hug. "Pleeaase, come in, make yourselves at home! Im sorry it took so long to answer. I was in the middle of a good Rock Serloin, and found myself ignoring my visitorrs." He opened the door, and EDogura walked inside. "It's alright guys, this is an old friend of mine. Norog, this is Kasei, and this is Orpheos."

"Hi, Norog," said Orpheous."Nice to meet you, and thank you for your hospitality."

Norog smiled. "A frriend of Dogurrra's is a frriend of mine! I'm going to warrm up some cocoa." The Goron turned, and dissapeared into another room. There was a roaring fire, and a large bookcase. It was filled with all sorts of books, and scriptures. There were pictures of him and other Goron's on his walls, and there was a finely crafted Deku wood coffee table in the middle of the room, which was surrounded by couches, and chairs.

"I met Norog on my way to Death Mountain once. He was hanging off a cliff, and was crying out for help. Naturally, I helped him up, and he lead me to his home in the Flats. He recently moved here, because he is a traveling merchant. He heard that the buisness is great in North Castle town. There isn't a lot of buisness at Death Mountain." Dogura took off his boots, and sat down on a sofa.

what a cozy place., kasei thought...he entered the house, silent...

"Just throwing around ideas here, but who was that guy?" questioned Orpheous.

Norog returned, this time, with beverages in hand. He passed them out, and smiled. "Nothing is betterrr than a cup of hot cocoa, straight from Death Mountian."

Orpheous took the mug and drank the cocco."Needs something." He took out a pencil and a piece of paper, and scrolled down some words. Reading off the paper, he said,"Orpheous had walked into Norog's cottage with a 3 packets of suger in his hand." The very next second, 3 packets of sugar were in his hand. "Oh, I can read stuff in and out of stories. No big deal," he said putting a packet of sugar in."Anybody want some sugar."

OOC: This not Hyrule sugar, this is good old Earth sugar.

OOC: I hate Hyrulian Sugar! Too grainy

"Last call, does anybody want some," said Orpheous.
OOC:What do you think of Orpheous's special skill.

OOC: Narrorating his own life? Phenominal!

IC: Norog sat down, and sighed. "Something wrong?" Dogura asked. Norog looked up at him, and opened his mouth to speak. "As many letterrrs as I send back home to my brotherrs, they dont send back. And what's worse. I think my Girrrl frriend is angry with me too. She doesent respond eitherr." Dogura's face changed. "That's not right. Have you been to death mountain lately?" He sat up from his slouched position, and looked upward. "To think of it, maybe a visit would pay off. But what if they dont grrreet me like I hope they will..." Dogura looked at Orpheous, and Kasei, as if to say "Help me out here".

Orpheous thought,can the gorons be...."Don't worry Norog, we shall help you, and by that I mean Simon, Stephen, and me. I hope you don't mind that Stephen is an ex-thief. As a matter of fact, here they are now." Simon and Stephen knocked on the door.

I dunno, helping out a goron I just met, with no prize money> seems to bad to be true! kasei says...the mercinary then goes over to the door and knocks backl, screaming, come on in!!!

OOC:Ok, I sat on this for like a week saying, who is supposed to post next. I am so dumb I didn't combine Kasei's post with my own.

Ic: So, they did. Simon was nothing like Orpheous. Orpheous carried around books, where as Simon carried around scrolls. What did Stephen carry around? you might ask, well he carried around his knife and dagger collection from his good old days of beign a thief.

"So, got any questions for us, Norog," asked Simon. "We know your name through a contact electronic devise Orpheous gave us to listen in on the comverstation."

Norog pondered, and smiled. "I would like to go to Death Mountain to see my family and frrriends. It would meen a lot to me if you would take me therrre. I would go on my own, but I have many valubale warrrres. And being a trrraveling salesman, thieves arrre constantly on the look out forrr me." He then looked down, as if to drown in a sea of dismay. "But, I've rrrecently heard that it has gotten worse in terms of crime on the way up the mountain. They're a group that call themselves the Mountain bandits." Dogura looked worried.

"I'll help," said Orpheous. "I'll do my best to assest you."

OOC:No offense, but did you abandon my event.
