Session #9 "Buyer's remorse" Report
General Summary
The adventurous Five spent the night relaxing and drinking The Frosthoof Inn trying some new drinks and food. They also got to meet the owners daughters Isigdi & Elbiwho had to take over since their parents got sick a couple of winters ago.
They also learned that Gjolfdon't take a punch very well, as Dolph Nasonfloored him wht one shot. Gjoilf also seem to be friendly with some priests of the The Order of Iron and Flame and they seem to be planning something for the end of winter celebration of Freya.
Ithuriel also seemed to be attracting some attention, as the group was being followed for most of the night by a strange looking girl.

Notes
Overall good roleplaying passing the spotlights between characters. Playing the cultural and language barriers as your characters are "fish out of water" in this new environment.
I think you are all doing a great job playing into the stereotypes of the differences without it becoming too comedic and slapstick.
Another thing was that you had to overcome not having two characters there that would have helped overcome some of the difficulties present, but you managed to find alternative routes to success.
A peak behind the curtain
I had excepted there to be a bigger fight with Gjolf, but the cleaver tactics from Dolph Nason by restraining and setting the rules for the fight such as to limit movement and also making sure that killing would have been difficult. In game terms I didn't allow any QU bonus for DB which played into Dolph's strengths which made the encounter more effective for him.
