<< The Dodo's Tavern >>

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

The small bar is situated in some kind of noman's land.. just between the Dark regions and
the Light lands..
The only place where people from all horizons can rest before takin the road again..

On the front door you can read:

<< No fight inside >>
<< No dodo inside >>
<< We aren't responsible if ur Dodo has been eaten or stolen or for any kind of loss >>
<< Pay what u eat and drink or Die >>

[Kalico]

[Absolution]

*walks in*

"oh hiya braaaah hows it going?"

*throws a gold coin to the bartender and gets a cup of water*

"gotta watch myself.....no beer for me"

[Kalico]

lol... thats pretty funny man.. No beer for me.. Well I dont drink so its all good. But its the way you typed it.

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

Gruuummpff..!

*look at Absolution..*

Gruumpf.. Hi..!

*Look at his beer again.. then finish it..*

An other one for me.. and a glass of water for my friend Abs.

*look at Kalico.. him makin fun of me.. gruumpf..*

[Shazi]

*Walks into the tavern, sees Braaah and Absolution*

*sits down at a safe distance from two guards "guarding" the tavern and at the same time "guarding" two glasses of beer*

*notices another guy drinking way to much beer*

*listens to his talk about his friends newly found riches*

*Buys beer to him and myself*

*Takes a sip at my beer but let most of it pour down on the floor to keep sober*

*Watches as the "beer-boy" falls asleep with his head on the table*

*looks at the guards to see if their sober enough to notice anything*

*carefully grabs "beer-boys" money and slips out through the front door making a slight salutation to Braah and Absolution*

Next part: Shazi visits the "beer-boys" rich friend :P ;)

[Absolution]

"This is funny tasting water"

*looks down at water*

"eeeeewwww giant orc boogy"

[kickassman]

" uh oh weres the mens room" :P :( :P

[Denieru]

*enters the tavern and sits down by myself, resting my staff against the table*

"Inkeeper, please bring me a cup of wine"

*watches the inkeeper bring me a cup with a red liquid*

"You call this wine? Nevermind, take this and next time maybe you should try cleaning the cup before serving another customer."

*puts my hand over the cup and performs a simple ritual to purify the content and reaches for a pipe inside my cloak."

*looks over to the strange barbarian drinking beer*

"I hope the smoke from my pipe doesn´t disturb your lust for beer, although I imagine not being able to smell it would make the experience even more pleasant?"

[Shazi]

*Enters the tavern again, and this time with a well-filled pouch*

*Winks at Braaah and Absolution*

*Sits down at the same table as denieru, not bothering to ask if the place is taken or not*

Ey, Keeper! A pint of your finest ale and a cup of wine for my friend here

*Pulls back my cloak to show the Innkeeper my sword*

And the cup better be clean this time...

[Wismerhill]

*approach the small tavern...*
*see 2 dodos waitin outside...read the board in front of the tavern and Kill them with his sword..*
*laugh.. and enter the tavern..*

-Many people in here.. interesting. May the Dark Moon be with you all!

*go near Braaaah..*

-Same thing as the big guy here.. I suppose it's beer.. and an other one for him.

*look at Shazi and Deneriu.. and say hi to them*

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

Gruuummppff..!! Thanx for the beer

*finish it in one go..*

Buuurpp..!! Gruummpf..sorry..

*look at Abs and Kickas..*

Dun go to men's room.. people say danger there!! Somebody left some kind of gigantic leviathan in the toilet... and you cannot flush it away..

[Fhman]

*Enters Tavern*

"Hm not very lively in here, I'm bored already"

*Flies over to large funny looking Braaaah Barbarian and turns his left ear into a cauliflower just for fun*

*Turns his beer into a hungry rabbit and then flies into the rafters to watch what happens*




[Edited on 28/4/2003 by Fhman]

[Pistols]

*Strolls in to find Braaah looking at what was just his beer, and appears now to be a rabbit*
Errrm. OK....

*Walks over to the Bar*
Tankard of Strong Ale 'keeper.

*See's Shazi sittin down*
Make that 2.

*Takes the ales over to where Shazi is sitting.*
*Rests his mighty axe against the wall*
May I join you. I always keep my word.

*Gives Shazi the second ale*

Hi Braaaah.



[Edited on 28/4/2003 by Pistols]

[kickassman]

"comes out of mens room"

"yells at the bartender for a brewsky"

"thinkning if there is going to be a fight here"

[Denieru]

*looks at Pistols*

"I see your eyesight is as long as your height, dwarf. Can´t you see this seat is taken?"

*feels a sudden sting in my left leg as Shazi pokes me with his dagger under the table*

"Although since I was just leaving you can have my seat, I sense you two share something in common, where as the only thing we two share is the air we currently breathe, which is something that we can change. Good bye master dwarf."

*stands up and takes my staff, and as I leave leaves a mental suggestion to Fhman if she could be so kind as to turn Shazi´s beer into something... fuzzy*

[Ganoth-Ordrin]

*jumps through bar window, eats bar tenders brain then hops aay on giant rabbit*

MUAHHAHAHAHHAHHAAHA

[Pistols]

*thinks* I know I owe Seton a Drink for buying me a few during that Sacred Trout Slapping business with Bluenose and Braaaah, But what did I owe Shazi one for? Oh well.*/thinks*


See you later Denieru. ;)

Damnit Ganoth, Can't you stop leaving us with Zombie bartenders for a few weeks.
They're slow enough WITH their brains intact. :mad:

[Ganoth-Ordrin]

*walks back looking ashamed then spits brain back*

Im keepin the next one

[Shazi]

*Carefully eyes Pistols*

Hey mate...

*Swallows 1/3 of the pint i recived from Pistols*

*Notices a hungry rabbit being chased by my cat over the tavern floor*

Great, Finor just messed up a barbarians beer... someone gonna get in trouble...

*Swallows the rest of the pint while trying to push out everything that moves in my head*

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*was about to drink his beer.. when he notice a rabbit instead..*
Gruuumpff????.... Gruuummmpff...??!!???!!??
*look back with angry eyes at the barman who just served him..*
Me ask for beer!!!! not rabbit!! you stupid?? deaf? Gruuummpff..!!
*See the barman servin rapidly 2 beers in fear.. and apologizin for his dumbness..*
Gruummpf..better!!!
*throw away the bunny he was holdin in the middle of the tavern..*

*Reply to Pistols with a roar.. rememberin the fish...and the smell it left on him..*
RrrrRRrrrrrr... !! gruumpff...

*turn back to his beers and drink quietly..*

[Pistols]

*remembers the fish, and how he thought it was fresh, clean and non-smelly. oh well.*

*notices Fhman still in the rafters wondering why there wasn't more trouble about the rabbit-ale incident*

So Shazi, that human down the road, the one who has the expensive clothes and no money pouch, and no recollection of why he's lying on the road. You wouldn't happen to know anything about that would you? ;)

*Laughs heartily, and downs his Ale.*

3 more Bar-Steward.
Send one over to Braaah, no hard feelings.

Hey Ganoth, theres a human lying down the road, with his brain intact.... you hungry?

[Shazi]

*looks out the window*

Oh that one? nah, the money was just a bonus, he insulted me... i belive he's a baron or something...

*Starts hand-dipping arrowheads in a small vial of poison*

I have a feeling a knocked out baron could mean trouble...

[RaFF]

*finally arrived at this "peacefull :P tavern, still gasping for breath because I was chased by some wild, mentally SNAPPED and psyco dodo`s... but here it is safe! because this sighn in front of me says "NO DODO`S"*

*turns head into the direction where the big DODO`S are comming from*
" they approach me really fast..."
*sets one step backwards, (so I`m behind that sighn) laughing out loud at those DODO`S*

*walks to the bar*

(hearing those dodo`s still approching...)
but then Wismerhill came out of no-where and he slliced them appart with his sword...

me: "wow! cool dude, wish i could swordfight..."

Wismerhill: "no need to thank me... it was my pleasure"
*holds his sword against my neck saying "just gimme some gold for it"*

"chill it dude! here, have this"
*gives him a lil` leather bag full with gold*
*and pushes him aside, entering the bar...*

===========================================
(to be continued.... :) )

[Ganoth-Ordrin]

Human??Brain??Where??

*runs out to get fressh brain stew ingredient*

[RaFF]

(well i`ll continue it now, while noone is posting something :) )
=============================================

*slams the door after me, having all others watch me*
"they keep watching me... could it be that ugly big scar on my face?"
*puts on his hood from his long cape*

"1 vodka for me..."
*reaches out his hand to give the bartender a silver piece, wich reveals my golden-bracelet, and my big bag of gold falls out*
*picks up gold-bag and counts the money*

bartender: "here you go... you should better finish that outside, this guy Shazi appears to kill for money you know... "
"thnx dude"

*walking to the door with me vodka in my hand, seeing Shazi watching me very hungry...*
*going outside, to a bench somewhere at the other side of town and let my staff rest against the tree where the bench is standing against*

after a while, after my vodka, that freak Shazi appears...
he comes over, and sits down next to me on the bench.

*me putting that goldbag under my cape, where it just dissapeares with a bright blue flash*
*seeing Shazi watching very curiously at my cape, where just before still was a bumb with the shape of that bag, wich was now gone*

Shazi speaks up: ....

==================================
[not part of the story :

(hey Shazi... you should finish this, maybe we can become friends or something, or just co-operate on something.... i dunno, some weird ass mission of yours maybe :) ) ]

[Edited on 30/4/2003 by RaFF]

[Ganoth-Ordrin]

*serves pistols brain stew telling him its the taverns finest ale(chunky style)*

How is it?

[Seton]

*walks to the tavern, elegantly hopping over the dead psycho dodo's*

*enters the tavern and looks around*

"Ah Pistols, I have something that belongs to you"

*hands over the waterskin*

"You shouldn't let that lie everywhere. It will cost you a great bundle if you have to buy new waterskins everytime you loose one"

*looks up at fhman trying to figure out why she isn't on ground level*

"Hmm.. I guess I could drink something"

*Searches for his pouch, but doesn't find it*

"Shazi!!!!"

*Bends over to grab Shazi and the pouch fell out of his cloak*

"Hehe, could I offer you a drink Shazi? No hard feelings I hope?"

*Quickly walks towards the counter with his pouch in his hands*

[RaFF]

wasn`t Shazi sitting on the bench at the other side of the village with me? :P
anyway... still waiting for Shazi`s reply on my post

[Edited on 30/4/2003 by RaFF]

[Shazi]

*curiously looks at Raffs coat*

Thats a nice coat you have... you shouldn't be outside wearing such fine clothing and so much gold...

*Turns my back on Raff and goes back inside with a glimse of evil in my eyes*

[Fhman]

*Still bored, and so turns Braaaah's helmet into a small Fire Termite mound*

*Flies down and kisses Pistols on the cheek cause he's cute looking*

*Orders a thimblefull of whatever he's drinking while watching Seton walk to the counter.*

[RaFF]

"don`t really trust that Shazi... but who cares? my gold can`t be stolen!"
(read the last part of my last (long) post)

*stands up*
*watches arround, saving everything I see in my photographic memorie, untill my eyes reach a building with a sighn saying:*
>>SALOON
>>1 night just 10 silver pieces
but the word "silver" is covered with a red X and just above is written:"GOLD"
like this:

*walks over to the saloon and goes in*
"1 room, 2 persons... PLEASE "

"well, who`s the other person? your invisable, imagenary friend?"

*throws a bag with 13 gold pieces to him*
very calm and slow:
"just give me a 2 persons room... ok?"

*saloon guy gives keys*
*me walks up the stairs, and into my room.."

"damn.... this town is too noisy for me... must sleep"
*lays the coat next to me, under the sheets so it can have some sleep too*

*goes to sleep on the other half of the bed*




[Edited on 1/5/2003 by RaFF]

[Seton]

*gets to the bar*

"I want a pair of leather boots please"

*looks at the surprised face the bartender makes*

"Helloooo, a pair of leather boots please!"

Bartender; "This is a tavern, I only sell drinks"

*thinks for a while*

"So this is a tavern? But that was Shazi I was talking to right?"

*The bartender shakes his head*

"Oh man, I knew I shouldn't have eaten those berries"

*Walks outside and lays down on dead dodobirds*

"Oh great someone placed a bed here especially for me"

*falls asleep*

[Pistols]

*feels a magikal glow thanks to Fhman* ;)
*whispers*Don't think you wanna try that 'brain stew' Finora...*/whispers*

Errrm, Ganoth, did you say this was the Taverns Finest ale? Gonna have to have a word with that bar-steward.

*Picks up his axe and walks over to the bar...*
*Scccchhhhiiink*
*Slams his axe into the bar next to the bar-stewards hand.*

I don't take kindly to brains in my ale!

*a grin slowly spreads across Pistols face.*

A jug of your XXXX special ale please

*Eyes Ganoth suspiciously*

Sits back down.

[Ganoth-Ordrin]

*picks up brain ale and gulps it*

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*feel.. something strange on his head...and some movements on his arm & hand..*

*look back at his beer.. and drink again quietly..*

[Pistols]

*watches the bar slowly become overun with termites*

Oh well....

*thinks for a minute*

NOOOO, Don't let them get to the barrels of ale!

*starts trying to destroy the termite invasion with his axe. The first blow takes a chunk out of the bar*

One of you elvish types, please cast a 'remove termites spell.
We must save the ale! :o

[Denieru]

*enters the tavern again and beholds the chaos inside*

*watches as Pistols goes berserk with his axe against what seems like small insects fleeing across the floor*

"I see master Pistols has found himself an opponent worthy of his courage and skills, although it seems like he is heavily outnumbered. Perhaps you would like to even the odds?*

*raises my staff, which starts to glow with a blue light, suddenly all the termites except one erupts into flames. The surviving termite seems to be heading for the exit.*

"He´s all yours master Dwarf."

*walks towards his old table looking around to see if Shazi is still inside*

[Ganoth-Ordrin]

*picks up bug and eats it*

yummy

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*look at the dwarf.. strugglin.. agaisnt those mighty creatures..*
*see the mysterious Denieru raisin his wood stick..*
*small flames everywhere in the tavern..*

[Pistols]

*Pulls his axe out of whats left of the Bar.*

[Seton]

*Wakes up because of the bad weather*

"Why am I sleeping on two dead dodo's???"

*stands up and tries to remember how he got there*

"Hmmm.... I guess I drank too much again"

*Starts walking towards the forest*

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*while eatin.. bite into something hard..*
grummpf??.. what's that?? hard..
*take a look..*
Gruummpf.. eerf..
*call the waiter.. and show what it found.. a finger with a golden ring covered with lotsa precious colored stones*

*throws ring away and gobbles up finger*

[Absolution]

*slaps ganoth*

"bad finger eater"

[Shazi]

*relax and watches the chaos calm down a little*

*picks up his stolen pouches and starts counting the money in them*

*Notices Denieru sitting at the same table and quickly hides the pouches*

Hello again Denieru

[Seton]

*gets to the forest*

"What was I going to do here?"

*ponders for a minute*

"Oh well, I might as well just go back to the tavern"

*Walks back to the tavern*

[Ganoth-Ordrin]

*wonders why the same people have been here for the whole time*
*brian hurts from thinking to hard*
*gets up to practice cooking skill(minus the brains this time)*

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*Braaaah digestin... close his eyes and take a nap...*

[Seton]

*gets to the tavern*

"Hmm... I swear there was a bed out here. Now there are just dead dodo's. Maybe somebody should clean them up?"

*Walks into the tavern and to the bartender*

"Hey.. pssst... do you need some meat? I got great meat, just outside"

*The bartender thinks for a second and then shakes his head*

"Oh well, can't blame a guy for trying. These peanuts are on the house wright? I seem to have misplaced my moneypouch"

*Eating peanuts, wondering where his pouch could be*

[Fazun]

*ssssrrrrrrrrrr*

some funny lookin insect passes the scene ... it looks like some sort of shrunken goblin with two tiny wings attached to it ...

it is wildly gesturin to somethin only visible to itself ... probably talkin to itself ...

"naaaaaay! i'm a bloody damm rrrrr#ç@#""* dragon, not such a tiny joke of an experiment failed horribly .... ahhhhhhh dammm i coul.."

*deng* ... fazun perfectly hits the tavern ....

"aahhhhhhhh ouch ... whoa .... now what's that ? a hut of some sort ? barracks ? troops ? army ?"

the insect flies around the tavern several times, inspectin the hut closely from the outside.

"hmmm hmmm hmmmm mmmmm .... ooooh well, okeee, i wouldn't fit in there as a dragon anyway ehehehehe"

ooc: yo hy guys, not really sure what kind of necro i play, but why not start as a tiny insect ehehehe ,)

[Edited on 12/5/2003 by Fazun]

[Pistols]

*picks up the ring that Ganoth threw away earlier since no-one else did...*

Hmmmm, nice crafting of the ring... but

*Throws it away in disgust*

Someones put fake gems on it, I'd say it was worth half a bronze coin.
Not worthy of me or anyone in here.

[Ganoth-Ordrin]

yes we are all to suave, with our "fur coats" and hydrolic filled lincolns

[Wismerhill]

*get back in the tavern*
Mmm.. still lotsa people here. Even new face!
*Clink an eye to Fazun*
*Take a chair and sit down near Braaaah*
Waiter 2 beers here please.
What an ugly face you got Braaaah.. had a bad dream?

[Pistols]

*upon hearing that last comment turns round to see if Braaaah decides to take offence or just talk about his dream...*

could get interesting.

*Starts wondering where all the other Dwarves are..*

[Fazun]

/me smiles to wismerhill

ay, is that beer for me ? eehehehe ,)

/me gestures quickly with his left hand and his smokin bag appears. he quickly opens it and looks inside, mutterin

mmmmrrrmpf, i hope those filthy demons kept their fingers away from me pot of gold grrrrr ....

/me starts to smile

eehehe yep, looks good

hmm anyone play cards ?

/me performs a quick movement with the left hand again and a deck of cards materializes a bit above the table. it slowly turns around.

[Seton]

*Sees Fazun playing with his cards while keeping an eye on Braaaah's reaction to that comment of Wismerhill*

"Say Pistols, why aren't there anymore dwarves here?"

*Thinks about saying he would like to do a dwaftossingcontest with Leafren, but knows it's wiser not to say it to Pistols*

[Fazun]

/me turns to seton and smiles

ya, i got all kind of sets ... we can play for gold .... we can play just for fun ...

or we can play for souls ... hehehehe

/me shows his necro smile and turns back to the cards. they now flicker mysteriously ...

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*Look at Wismerhill then look at everyone..*
*see that everybody was waitin for an answer.. try to figure out what to say..*
-Gruummpf.. hum..
*See a beer in front of him.. drink quickly half of it..*
-Gruumpf.. Hum.. you know it's just bad dreams. Me was fighting big bad dragons! Me killed many of them! But me outnumbered and I couldn't save Ganareth from their fury.. Grummpf..
*see many people feelin anxious about the story with dragons..*
*Anyway he couldn't say he was fleeing from a pack of nice dodo.. it wouldn't have been serious..*
-gruumpf.. bettter stop talking about bad dreams of Braaaah.. so what news outside? in the big city Wismerhill?

[Ganoth-Ordrin]

*buys bunny large glass of whiskey*

nice biunny

[Wismerhill]

*Dragons... rememberin many of his friends and family members lost ages ago..*
*Immortality.. what for... the pain of those past losts will follow you till the end of time...*
*Answers Braaaah..*

Yeah it's better to talk of something else. Hum..
Well, we see many people arrivin in town from all over hosrizons. It's quite busy.. don't know if they'll stay or if they are just passing by. Anyway, it's the place for any good thieve.. easy money all the way I guess.

Waiter an other Beer for me and my friend Braaaah.

[Aeternitas]

*Walks in to the tavern with consern on his face that is covert under the hood of the long aged robe*
*Takes slowly off the grey and huge hood same time calmly viewing surroundings, never letting his stale dark brown eyes stop to stare*
*Rests his exhausted body by leaning to his most valuable belonging that looks like juniper staff, same time approaching table that lies in corner that is brighten by flame of well served candle*
*Takes a rest in wood made pew that would have many great secrets to tell if it only would be able to expose them*
*Waits for the tavernkeeper same time humming old elvish tale that has been forgotten in past of ages*

[Fazun]

/me starts to smoke his joint and leans back, relaxin ...

[Fhman]

*Still bored*

*Turns Fazuns's joint into a large Dodo*

You should'nt smoke psychotropic substances. It's bad for your mental health ;)

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*smell something weird..*
-Gruummmpf.. smell like medecine spice.. me dun like it..
*start to feel different... then see.. a dodo..*
-Gruummpf.. Aaaaaahh.. a dodo inside!!!... No dodo inside!
*stand up.. take his heavy warhammer and slam the face of the dodo..*
*Dodo lies on the floor not dead apparently.. *
*Braaaah take the dodo and throw it out of the Tavern.. and spit on it..*
-Gruumpff.. you stupid Dodo.. you can't read the board on the door or what?? it's written "No Dodo inside"!!! .. gruumpf stupid bird..
*close the door and sit back at his former place*
-Beer please.. gruumpf..

[Fazun]

/me frowns, lookin at his hand holdin a joint, then a dodo, then a ded dodo and finally nothin ....

/me smiles

/me slowly turns to Fhman, smilin as if knowin a secret ...

/me looks dreamily into the distance

ay, i can see it, somethin like "fazun's magic weed emporium" or so ehehehe ...

[Duoae]

*Sunlight splashes into the tavern as the door swings open, setting dust motes swirling in apoplectic fits. The taverns' occupants squint at this new day's light, blinking out the sleep one tends to collect when sitting in the dark. A big man steps onto the threshold, partially blocking out the sun's rays. He pauses for the briefest of moments and then steps forward, the door closing behind him and plunging the tavern into semi-darkness once again. For a moment he is blinded, but for a moment only. He walks forward, his light mail clinking in time with the soft thud of his earthy boots and sits at a table near the bar. His bulky arms and chest signify his trade - a smith.

The tavern keep stroles over, checking the drinks of other patrons before arriving at his table*

"A cool dark ale if you please..." The rich voice resonates from the smith's mouth - an echo of sounds generated deep within his chest.

"You good for the money?" The tevern keep enquires.

*The chatter of coins spilling from the smith's wallet fills the tavern for a moment, and the tavern keep picks up what is needed before leaving to retrieve the ale.

Duoae glances round the tavern catching and holding the eyes of other patrons, nodding to each in recognition or greeting - of which, none of them are quite sure.

The tavern keep brings the ale and some dried fruits. Duoae looks up quissically*

"I thought you'd like some nibbles, its a rich ale and goes well with these."

*Duoae nods* "Thank you" *Then places a few extra coins into the tavern keep's waiting hands* "A good host always anticipates his guest's needs."

*Once again Duoae looks round the tavern, taking in the rich aroma of the place as well as the sights and sounds of its occupants*

"Hmm. think i'll like it here. Might stay awhile and get to know a few people." *He muttered to himself*

*Already some barbarian was swaying back and forth, preparing to recount a tale of daring heroics and countless dangers - probably involving himself. Duoae sits back and waits for the story to begin........*

[Edited on 11/5/2003 by Duoae]

[Seton]

*Stands up and walks over to Fazun*

"If you like magic weed, you really should try these berries"

*Gives him all of the berries he has left*

"I do not care for them, they give me no more pleasure than I can give myself"

*Looks at the new arrival*

"Quel re, mellonamin"

*Walks over to him*

"I see you are a great craftsman, since you have so much coins to spend"

*Sits down on the stool next to him*

"I am working on an new arrowhead, perhaps I can lend your wisdom for it sometime?"

[Duoae]

*Duoae regards the elf for a moment before responding*

"Well met sir. I am indeed an aspiring smith, although i have yet to produce any renowned works of art. I have recently left my master smith who has taught me all that i can learn in such an environment. I have been sent out into the world - with the coins you see as a parting gift, and also this;"

*Duoae pulls out a hammer with Sigils etched into the sides of the head*

"It is of dwarven design and it has a name - Faenan Droon or in our language, Ringing Bell. For when it strikes on the anvil the tolling of bells can be heard by all in earshot.
I'd be happy to design and make some arrows for you, but i have first to seek accomodation and a place to set up shop. Do you perchance know of any places nearby?"

[Edited on 11/5/2003 by Duoae]

[Edited on 11/5/2003 by Duoae]

[Seton]

*Is admiring the fine craftsmenship which radiates from the Faenan Droon*

"I am fairly new to this town myself, however there are many guilds who would certainly be pleased if an aspiring smith joined their ranks. I know SoF has treated me well and many friends I have made among them"

*Looks at fhman and Shazi*

"Perhaps they can mean the same to you, but this is ofcourse your decision to make and my respect for you will not decrease if you do not choose the path I've choosen"

"I will leave you alone now bearer of Faenan Droon"

*Starts walking towards the door and then turns around*

"If you wish to work on those arrowheads, just walk through the northern forest and call my name 'Seton of Krosan' a few times. I will show up in a little while after that"

*Walks out the door and towards the northern woods*

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*See a newcomer in the tavern..*
*watch him discussin with Seton..*
-Gruummpf... mmm.. a smith..
*stand up an walk toward him..*
-Gruummpf.. me Braaaah! welcome in here Mr. Smith..
*take a chair and sit next to him.. smell what he was drinkin..*
-Waiter! .. an other ale for him and a beer for me plz...gruumpf..!
-Gruumpf.. tell me for bells on your little hammer??Why?? Hit better?? More power?? On my hammer me dun have thinggy like that.
*show his heavy war Hammer.. nearly as tall as Braaaah but probably much more rusty and antique than the barbarian..*

[Absolution]

*thinks so self*
"Wow i just noticed this was a big tavern, there seems to be a LOT of people in this place"
*glances outside*
"now which dodo is mine?"

[Fazun]

/me inspects the berries in his hand. they have all kind of colors. a dark green one catches his eye.

eeeehehe mmmmm ya berries, like 'shrooms yo ...

/me smiles all over his face, picks the green berry and puts it on his tongue

aaa haps ... ehehehe yeah, let's see what happens

[Duoae]

*Duoae nods his head to Braaaah*

"Thank you for the ale friend. The reason my hammer makes the sound of ringing bells is a story perhaps best left to another thread as it might turn out to be a long one. Suffice it to say, this Hammer always strikes true and this is signified by the bell-like tone which is released by the hammer."

*Inspects Braaaah's Hammer*

"Hmmmm. I'm sure i could add a few bells and whistles to your hammer. Looks nice though but you could do with getting that rust off. It's bound to crumble some day. Is it magical?"

*Sparks and pops emanate from the corner and the whole tavern turns to see Fazun sitting with an odd smile on his face......*

[Edited on 11/5/2003 by Duoae]

[Fazun]

oh oh uh uuuhhhh

/me puts one hand on his stomach, eyes widenin in terror. the other hand follows the movement and covers his mouth. all of a sudden fazun's belly grows into distorted volumes. the air inside now takes the only hole left and with an incredible loud sound fazun roars through the room into the distant corner.

aaaaayyy naaaaayaaayyaaaaarrrrrrr

*deng* fazun slams into the wall, then towards the ground and finally (now on the floor) back to the corner where he came from, eatin dust in it's purest form ...

a loud crashin sound marks the end of this horror ride and you can hear fazun use all sorts of obscene words ...

#°#@%#@ grrrrrrrr

/me throws away some sort of boot

uah splerr ... grrrrr

/me angrily vanishes into the shadows, lickin his wounds ...

[Pistols]

*looks into his ale, and eyes the barkeep suspiciously...*

*thinks* Was there something in my drink, or did all that really just happen?

*Looks across to where Duoae is sitting, weighing up his 'Bell' Hammer*

Nicely crafted Hammer you have there. Must've taken a while to craft.
My axe here took a fair few passes of the moon before it was ready for me to weild.
I too am a Smithy, honoured to meet you.

Barkeep! another ale, this dwarf is still thirsty, and sober.

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

-Gruumpf...
*look at his war hammer..*
-No bells or whistles for me! Gruumpf..wont' be able to hunt in forest with all little noises.
But maybe need a refreshment.
*think a moment..*
-Is it magical.. my father who adopted me when me little say yes.. Me dunno what it does. He gave it to me long time ago. This hammer was in his dark elf clan for many and many generations. But nobody used it.. gruumpf.. too heavy for elves! Me strong.. He said also hammer belong to one of the immortals who roamed our world.. gruumpf.. others said it's the hammer used by Dragoon to split the Moon in two .. but nobodies knows really even my adopted father who is an old powerfull wizard couldn't brake the secret.. gruumpf..
*see Pistols joining the table and offerin a drink to Duoae..*
-Grrrr.. gruumpf.. me too still thirsty..

[Fazun]

/me looks to bra for a moment, noticin his cards still hoverin above the table. a quick snip with his fingers later they changed into his hands.

bah, nobody really wants to play anyway. seems i'm left with the demons again.

/me concentrates for a moment and the air gets colder. just as it reaches a somewhat unconfortable level it stabilizes and slowly returns to normal. you hear strange noises and a laughter from fazun from time to time comin from the corner.

ooc: mmmmm i'm a bit drunk so sorry for any typos and stuff ehehehe ,)

[Pistols]

Another ale for Braaaah barkeep, and make it quick, he's thirsty.

*throws a couple gold pieces at the bar-steward*

Cheers!

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

-Grruummpf.. Aaahh..!
*Smile when the drink arrives..*
*Takes it to his mouth and start drinking..*
-....mmm.. gruumpf.. thanks Pistols.
*look at the door of the tavern.. *
-somebody is comin.. I can smell it.. gruumpf..

[Duoae]

BAH! i had a nice little thing worked out and typed up, but the boards lost it all........ stupid "duplicate key = 1" or something............. :(
So here's the gist -
Basically, the Faenan Droon took 28 days to craft (the length of a cycle of the moon) along with minor spells and wards. It was given to my great great grandmother who was related to a grand master smith of the dwarves of Del Ranok who felt sorry for her because the male smiths would not teach her their trade. It is designed to always strike true and many a "perfect" blade has been crafted using this hammer.
The hammer is given to the first-born of each generation so that they may continue on with the tradition of being a smith.
However, as the name of the grand master smith is not mentioned or engraved on the hammer - due to him preferring anonymity - i fear that one day the hammer may crumble to dust and the tradition will no longer carry on. Therefore i will only use it to craft my greatest items to spare it's use.

End of story.......... :(

*Raises tankard to Pistols and Braaaah*

"Health and luck....... always!"

"Always" *They both repeat - in that time-honoured toast*

[Ganoth-Ordrin]

*shakes Duoae hand for being such a good RPer*

A round of beer for the whole lot oh ya!!

[Duoae]

*Shakes Ganoth-Ordrin's hand*

"Hail and well met my friend. Now what and who might you be? I fear we have not met before this day. And my thanks for the ale!"

*Sips his ale whislt waiting for a response.*

[Ganoth-Ordrin]

Im Ganoth the half-Orc hopeful Chef kind sir
*bows*

[Hjelgan]

After throwing away the dead dodos outside he enters the tavern.
"WROAR! Look me. Haha, people of faces new.. Can't wait for knowing hard!! U big troll thing with little dwarf, what drinking? Me muscles, can drink. Big"
The half-ogre walks up to the table with the dwarf and his companion.
"You small dwarf, if i sit u die. Haha! I sit u die. Hahaha, funny. Give what you drink or i sit."

[Fazun]

/me watches the half-ogre enterin the tavern and starts to smile cheakily

ehehehe, i wonder what happens if that thing eats one of those berries ehehehe

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*C the half-ogre comin closer.. and menacin his dwarf friend..*
-gruumpf.. stupid too ask what any of us drink.. glass always empty in one shot so flies dun have time to drown in it.. gruumpf... if not you dun do that you might get diseases..

[Hjelgan]

"What, u no response? U DARE NOT! GROFF. I talk big, muscles bigger are."
After some time not getting any response from the seemingly friendly dwarf the ogre gives up and turns towards his companion.
"Look you. Big strong it seems. What kind i ask, answer now or axe cleeve table!!"

[Ganoth-Ordrin]

*thinks about eating behemoths brain but there cant be much in there*

your annoying

*clunks him on head and drags him outside*

[Hjelgan]

The long and painful silence proves too much for the half-ogre. He takes a chair from a nearby table and gently like a feather sits down.
"U no talk?!? Me confused. Not evil said, not evil. Tryed see new faces, no faces like me." He quietly mumbles for a while and then suddenly, out of no warning, leaps up yelling; "ALE!!!! You thing with arms. Bring ale. Me strong, muscles in head. GIVE ALE!!!"
The bartender, smart enough to listen, brings a couple of Ale to the table.
"That'll be 3 silver" says the bartender.
"WHAT! You rob? What happens if rob? Smash happens!!! SMASH WITH STICK!! BIG STICK!" yells Hjelgan and fingres on his "stick".
The bartender, which already has got his bar destroyed 2 times during the year, fears the consequences and says. "Oh i'm sorry, did i say 3 silver? I meant of course that it was on the house since you're one of my favorite customers" He quickly dissapeares back to the bardisk, knowing it's where he fits best.
"Ahh. Good ale. I give ale to you big strong look. And to tiny dwarf. Drink, makes happy thoughts. We friends be one day?! Yes we be. Stupid think otherwise."
He finnishes the ale and sits there quietly, thinking of how good it would feel to smash a fly, or why not a dodo. Hunger gets over him..

[Ganoth-Ordrin]

*wonders why ogre is in bar drinking when i knocked him out a dragged him outside*

[Duoae]

*Obviously some sort of magic ;) *
"Excuse me" *Duoae says to his companions.*
*Duoae turns round and approaches the Half Ogre*

"May i sit?"

*The ogre looks at him dully*

"SIT?! You NEW FACE! Talk to you, me do. What you want?"

"Yeah, well i just wanted to have a friendly word of advice - seems as you're new and all.
First off the rules of the bar - i asume you missed them or can't read;

<< No fight inside >>
<< No dodo inside >>
<< We aren't responsible if ur Dodo has been eaten or stolen or for any kind of loss >>
<< Pay what u eat and drink or Die >>

So there you go. Pay for your drink and meal and don't start fights. I believe that this tavern is magically enchanted (Like most taverns these days who are under the protection of the divinity NoPvP) and no one may raise a fist or draw a weapon in anger or hate. Just giving you a warning before things get out of hand."

*The half ogre sits and looks at him*

"You make me PAY? WHY you so nasty?!"

"Sigh! Look! If you come into a tavern you MUST pay."

"ME break youse bones. No make me pay."

"Come on! It's only 3 silver. It's not going to break the bank of such a powerful warrior as you obviously are! I mean, what was the last great treasure drop you got? And how many beasts did you single-handedly slay?"

*Duoae waits for the half ogre's response.....*

[Denieru]

*I wake, as from a dream, to find myself sitting at the same table inside the Dodo´s tavern.*

*new customers has arrived and my eyes move over the crowd, something seems a little misplaced inside this small tavern*

"I thought the sign outside said ´No Dodos inside`? Who let that monster in? And who gave the monster something to drink?"

*My hand reaches inside the dark cloak and an elegant pipe, white as snow, appears. With a soft blow of air the pipe ignites and a sweet, thick smoke starts to encircle me slowly with thin tendrils of grey smoke.*

*A dwarf is apparently trying to communicate with the beast*

"I belive you are wasting your breath Master Dwarf. This creature seems incapable of intelligent speach, a trait it shares with others inside this wretched place."

*I hold up my cup to find that the wine has already been drunk. Shazi! The little thief.*

"Inkeeper! Wine please, don´t bother to bring a new cup. I´ll take my chances with this one. In fact, bring me a new unopened bottle so that I might enjoy the taste without the aroma of your filthy fingers."

*I breathe out a cloud of smoke which slowly starts to take the shape of a human hand, all the fingers broken and bent in strange angles*

[Shazi]

*Silently sits in my corner and checks out the activity...*

*A muscular townsguard with a very shiny armor catches my eyes*

[Hjelgan]

"WHAT! I slay BIG dragon. Saved hungry children. New FACE I find not! Me sad. Never new faces." The half-ogre looks at Duoae, tosses 3 gold coins and quietly goes back to his empty ale. Sipping the empty can like it was the finest wine.

"ME CAN HANDLE! I no diffrent. I want new faces, I MAKE NEW FACES!!. You, with smoke on head. What kind?!?" Hjelgan points at the mysterious man across the table.

"You no ANSWER!!? FINE. BARKEEP! BRING ALE!!" The barkeep hesitates at first, but as he sees the ogre fingering on the stick of his, he makes a quick decision and stands up to his believes.

"I wont serve you no Ale sir, at least not until you’re willing to pay up" Proudly and full of courage he stands there, arms crossed, when a chair nearly takes his head off.

“I SAY WANT ALE!! I PAY, YOU BRING!! You ROB!!? What happens if ROB??! SMASH HAPPENS!!...”

The barkeep interrupts the yelling ogre whiles he put new, and relatively fresh ale in front of everyone around the table.

“Sir, I might get killed asking this but, would you like to pay for this?” He looks menacingly on Hjelgan.

“Uh!? Aye. Who kill you?! I SMASH IT! I guard you. NO ONE hurt you if me guard” Hjelgan hands over 10 gold and kindly bows in front of the speechless man. Then quietly sits down to finish his ale.
He starts thinking of how good it would feel to squash a bug, or why not a brave. Hunger comes over him..

[CommanderDelta]

*me eats the townguard and walks towards Shazi*

[Duoae]

*Sits down next to Hjelgan*


"Heh, i knew you were alright. An honerable half ogre, don't see many of them these days.
BTW i'm Duoae, an aspiring smith (Human smith - people seem to think i'm a dwarf for some reason!) if you ever need anything making, i'll give you a discount - as i will all people i get to know :). So what new faces are you looking for? And what exactly do you mean by this?"

[Hjelgan]

Hjelgan gives an evil grin whiles looking at Duoae. Without any sign of replying he starts thinking, and that not out load like before.

“He shouldn't have said that. He shouldn't have asked why, it wasn't any of his business. Does he know something he isn’t supposed to know?
If this goes wrong I have to spill even more blood. Damn you Duoae, why did you have to ask why.”

The half-ogre stands up, ensures everyone in the stupidest way possible that he got to take a leak, and walks away towards the exit.

“If I can just make it out of here, everything should be okay.”

[Seton]

*Comes stumbling in the tavern*

"Please.... help"

*collapses on the floor*

"I must rest.... I.... have been ill.... this week...."

"A bed to rest in... I will pay..."

*A pouch with some gold roles from his hands as he finally blacks out*

[off-topic] I have really been ill this week, I feel a bit better now. Just wanted you to know why I haven't been active this week [/offtopic]

[Hjelgan]

Hjelgan quickly thinks of a way to benefit from the situation.

"WHAT! People not see man?!? I take care, give food. Always wanted new FACE. Friends we shall be. Friends, yes." He picks up the man and gently puts him on his sholder, then yells goodybye to everyone before exiting the Tavern.

"That went smooth. Better get rid of this extra load before he wakes up." He tosses the liveless body up a tree and walks down the road, towards Lake Amungen.

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*see the half-ogre gettin outside with the poor unconscious Seton on his shoulder..*
-gruumpf.. they r gonna play friends outside.. gruumpf.. romantic..
-So Duoae.. you are human.. gruumpf.. didn't notice.. as long as you are not tall as me.. or anyone under my height.. it's dwarf for me.. gruumpf.. ahahah.. gruumpf..
*see the gold on the floor left by Seton.. and takes it.. and say with a smile to the bartender*
-Gruumpf.. Ale for everyboby in here.. it's on me.. gruumpf..!

[Ganoth-Ordrin]

*wonders why hasn't takin a drink yet*

so much ale

*passes ale around the bar*

[Seton]

*A green glowing ball eminates from the tree and surges into Seton's body*
*Seton wakes up. He almost falls out of the tree, but quickly grabs a branch to keep his balance*
"How did I get here? Why am I feeling better now?"
*He slowly gets down the tree and then all of a sudden a voice says; "A thank you would be nice"*
*Seton looks around, but he can't see anyone*
"Uh... thank you???"
*A beautiful faery comes from behind the trees and hovers in front of Seton's head*
"A bit of my healing magic did you good, yes?"
"Thank you very much for that dear faery, can I repay you in any way?"
*Seton looks for his pouch, but doesn't find it. As he was looking the faery flew away*
"Wait! At least let me know the name of the feary who helped me"

[Duoae]

*Walks outside to see Seton standing still, looking stupified*

"Hey seton! You okay? I think you had a close call there matey. Some Half-ogre ripped off your face to pretend he was not as he knew himself to be. A rather disturbing mental case if you ask me. So, erm - how did you get better and escape? Or are you one of those rangers who goes around upholding law - in a completely neutral way?"

"Fa-fairy. Sh-she, just went away........" *Seton's bemused reply drifted softly from his lips*

"Oookay buddy, you need a drink!"

*Drags Seton inside to sit down next to Braaaah. Duoae eyes the new leather money pouch Braaaah is holding*

"Hmmm, since you seem to be well off Braaah, maybe you should buy this round." *Duoae flashes his charming smile. Braaah looks guiltily down at the pouch, then quickly recovers*

"Er... me just hold it for Elfy when he fall on floor. He buy drink for us for being such friendly! BARKEEPER MORE ALE!!!"

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

-Gruumpf... Where's the Ale..! everybody is thirsty!
-Dun worry me not feel guilty, I used gold for good thing.. payin ale to friends in tavern.. gruumpf..
-So Seton.. gruumpf.. see you are totally awake. Nice to see you in shape. Gruumpf..

[Seton]

"Thank you Duoae for helping me come to my senses and bringing me into the tavern"

*Looks at Braaaahh and then at his pouch*

"I don't mind Braaaahh, I would have given them all a round anyway. But I would like the pouch back though, it has a special meaning to me"

*Braaaahh hands over the empty pouch while quickly finishing the mug of ale in his other hand*

"Thank you Braaaahhh. I hope you enjoyed that"

*Seton turns towards Duoae again*

"There really was a faery that helped me you know, didn't you see it fly away?"

[Absolution]

*makes 3 beautiful women appear with his illusion power*

"Free beers for everyone"

[Ganoth-Ordrin]

*runs at beautiful women but falls through the illusion*

I hate you abs

*forgets what he hated*

Bartender an ale for the excellent absolution

:)

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*see Ganoth passin through one the illusions..*
-Gruuumpf.. hihi.. how can he not sense not real...
-Hihihi.. female always smell special.. illusion no.. gruumpf.. aromatic smell..
*one of the illusion walks by the table and smile at Duoae, Braaaah and Seton..*
-gruumpf.. eventough not real.. gruumpf pretty!

[Hjelgan]

From far you see a shadow walking towards the Tavern. The first thing you notice, as it comes closer, is the leg. Bare of clothes and full of wounds, it's hanging there rather than being used.
Then follows the head. It’s resemblance to a head on a pike is big, waving back and forth in pace with the stumbling man. Yes, it’s a man. You can see him now, in his full glory.

At distance you see another shadow, a big one. There’s something familiar with this shadow, but it’s yet too far away to figure out what. You notice something else as well. This shadow, compared to the man’s, who’s now crawling in front of you, is moving at a very high speed. Like if it was running towards something of great importance.

It’s close now, very close. You can hear the noise of its breath whiles it literally comes flying up the road.

With a roar it takes a hold of the man’s head, lifts him up and forcefully throws him back down the road they both came from. You see how the bare leg bends and cracks when the body touches ground.

The shadow is only feet away, smelling of swamp and woods. It turns around, looking at you as if you were scum, opens its mouth and says.

“WHAT!! Can’t play without people LOOK?!?”

Hjelgan jumps up and down in fury, turns around and quickly vanishes into the dark with his toy.

[Fazun]

fazun's eyes start to glow seein all the chicks and ale. the demons scream in anger as they are banned from this dimension and fazun walks back to the table, takin the seat he occupied before that erm accident ehehehe

ay, chicks and ale for free ... well at least the ale's real eheheh thanks seton ... ,)

/me studies seton for a moment, then starts to smile.

you know there aren't any fairy-clerics ? hmmm must have been a necro sharin his* life-force with you

/me turns to his ale, showin a mysterious smile

*ooc: arrrrrr i just don't get over that fairies only female fact and stuff grrrrr ehehehe


[Edited on 20/5/2003 by Fazun]

[Raebid]

The door opens slowly and a man dressed in the darkness of shadows enter. Not really noticing the other he slowly walk to the center of the tavern.
After starring a few seconds in the light he walks over to a corner, were he has a good vision of the whole tavern, and sits down.
As he is studying the others, and their behavior, he opens a small crimson sack and pulls out a few coins. Throwing them on the table.
Then he speaks out:

-I have some questions and I'm looking for answers, and there is alot more were that comes from. *pointing at the coins*

[Duoae]

*Soon the man is surrounded by the occupants of the tavern*

"HE'S BUYING! Bartender! Bring us drinks!"

*The man looks slightly uncomfortable with all this attention and is certainly not happy about being quoted for buying rounds. He turns his head towards one of the many talking people around him - Duoae faces him*

"Hey, did you know that a dodo can run at 2 m/s? Was that an answer?"

*Another person chips in*

"Yeah and i can drink 6 mugs of dragon juice before passing out!"

*On and on the ruccus continues, until finally the man has had enough*

"QUIET!!! I WANTED QUESTIONS T-" *The whole bar is looking at him reproachfully and the man alters the tone of his voice* "I wanted to ask questions and have answers given. No more free drinks until i get the answers i want...."

*Duoae looks at him quizzically*
"Well you better ask them quick cause i'm working up a mighty thirst here!"

[Raebid]

Once again the man sits down, this time somehow more carefully.

-Now were was I?
Oh yes who isn't gettin thirsty
The questin I have is if anyone of you has seen this half-orc... *holds up an old paper, it's not a good portrait. Honestly it could be any half-orc*

Right out of the blue Duoae asks:
-Who is he and why are you looking for him?

*the man gets an angry glimt in his eyes, but it passes before anyone noticed*
-Lets just say he's an escaped convict and I'm here to catch him...And i could let ypu in to some of the gold [thats right gold] he is worth. But only if you got some relevant information for me.

[Duoae]

*Duoae thinks for a moment*

"Does he hate 'You'....... if you know what i mean? Because i think he attacked one of our fellows and tried to kill him not long ago - and now seems to come back here every so often - looking for people to play with.......

Be this your half-orc? Although admittedly the man i speak of is a half-ogre......"

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*look at the picture of the wanted person..*
-Gruummpf..
*sniff the paper a bit..*
-Gruummpf.. he look bad face! Ugly! grummpf.. is it revelant enough???
*asking with a smile..*
-Gruumpf.. Hope I'll have some ..gruumpf.. beer for that info!

[Raebid]

*thinks for a moment*
Hm that may be him indeed.
*mumbles* half-ogre...hm..can it truly be so?

*the glimt returns, once again only a second*
What be this villains name? *hands Duoae five gold coins*

[Raebid]

*studying Braaaah_de_Pit weaponry*
-hm yeah I guess so
*hands over two gold coins*

[Fazun]

/me looks at raebid and duoae with both eyebrows raised. hell, this man's handin out gold coins and i don't get any! arrrr this can't be! fazun turns to raebid.

his name's probably Hjelgan. i can help you find him if you'r not afraid of the dark side ...

of course i need somethin belongin to that person for the ceremony. after all the demon's need somethin to get the smell of the erm object ... ,)

[Raebid]

*looks a Fazun for a while then starts to laugh*
-No no my friend I'm not afraid of the dark side.

Hm something belonging to him you say. *searches his backback*
-Would this dragonbone knife be such an item? *holds out a little dagger*

-And about that payment...I'm rather short on gold right now, but I might have an item for you if you help me.
-So do we have a deal? *holds out his right hand*

[Fazun]

/me looks at raebids hand

pwah ... i need some more information about that *item* first ...

you see, settin free the demons of the netherworld is rather risky ... it's not like it doesn't come with a price to pay ... and you ain't pay with *cold goins* when dealin with 'em ...

/me smiles in a somewhat strange way then looks a bit closer at the dragonbone knife, closin one eye. seems like he has quite a hard time controllin his emotions, but then it's not like he's seein one of his brothers turned into a weapon *everyday* ...

this belongs to the ... object ?

/me turns away from the knife, quickly shakin his head

ah yeah you said that ... now what's with that item ? any more hints you can give me ?

/me tries to smile, but the pain still shows through ...

[Seton]

*Seton is still sitting at the bar, looking at the greedy crowd*

"The things people do for a small amount of gold, it's unbelievable"

*Finishes his ale and walks over to Denieru*

"Can you understand these people?"

*Looks at the new face dealing out coins*

[Raebid]

*opens his crimson sack*
*holds up a strange looking ring, with a glowing crystal*
-This item good enough?
I guess it's worth something and probably magic to but I can't tell since I have no gifts for magic.

*all of the sudden he notices a new crowd forming in the back of the room*
*turns to Fazun*
-They meen trubble?

[Flatliner]

*walks into tavern whyle rubbing belly

"that was one tasty dodo"

*hits hamer on bar

"can i get some beer around here"

[Wismerhill]

*see a lot of dead dodos.. even half-eaten in front of the tavern..*
*pass them a little bit disgusted..*
-pfff.. I'll never come here with a dodo..
*enter the tavern.. and see the place quite overcrowded..*
*walks to the bar..and make a sign to Flatliner*
-I'll have a beer too plz.. need fast kinda thirsty.

[Bluenose]

*Walks into the Tavern and looks around, sees the group of SoF and goed over to join them*

"Sorry im late guys, drinks for SoF are on me, whats evreyone having?"

[Duoae]

*Sneaks up next to bluenose*

"Mine's a nice dark ale"

*Affects another person's voice*

"Yeah i'll have an ale too!"

*Bluenose counts off*

"Right, so far two ales......er - HEY you aren't in SoF!!"

*Duoae looks startled, erm - yeah i am. Honest!! Just look at the bottom of my post! ;) *

SOF ~ Duoae

[Edited on 21/5/2003 by Duoae]

[EDIT] WTF? Why does the board not show up as it does in the preview? stupid thing.......

[Edited on 21/5/2003 by Duoae]

[Bluenose]

*Notices finora flying around in the rafters of the Tavern and motions for her to come and join them*

*Turns to face Duoae, You mock us by uttering those words ad you are no member of SoF, begone before I show my true strength*

*Sits down at the table and notices Denireu drifting off to sleap again*

"I would be more careful where I slept Denieru, shazi has already doubled his value since he entered this Tavern."

*Looks at Shazi,*

"I dont allow stealing from SoF members, return all you have taken, and whatever you will have to drink is on me."

*Gets up and goes over to Brahh*

"I promised you a drink, so what are you having?"

[Duoae]

*Shows indifference*

"Heh, fine then i'll just talk with my friends Seton, Braaaah, Denieru and the others who are in here......... But if you think i mock you? No..... You would know if i was mocking you.........."

[Shazi]

*looks at Bluenose*

Let's say i take this money as payment for future services...

*eyes Douae's pouch and then Duoae*

...or maby for not preforming future services...

[Bluenose]

*eyes Duoae, thinking hard*

"Perhaps you ment no offence, but do not faign to be in SoF again, or offended I will become. Here, sit with us, but look out for shazi, he has his eyes on your money pouch."

*Sits down next to shazi giving him a menacing look, and starts to sip his ale*

[Denieru]

*My mind is drifting. Am I sleeping? I open my eyes and I am standing on a large field of grass. The two half-moons is visible on either side of the sun. The sun is shining heavy directly above me, the light burns. But there is nowhere to escape the light, it´s everywhere. I close my eyes to shield them from the light.

Suddenly I hear a voice inside my head; "Light left as we came". And as I open my eyes all of SoF is standing beside me. I see Bluenose, Delta, DivZ3ro, Seton and Shazi, among others, some who I do not yet recognize. As one we all raise our arms and very slowly the two moons draws closer to eachother. Finally they unite into one dark mooon, causing a total eclipse of the sun. Under the black moon all the land begins to be covered in darkness.

Out of the darkness something is beginning to take shape, something from the shadows themselves. Could it be... I try focus my sight... I have to know..*

*I open my eyes and find myself sitting at a very familiar table inside the dodos tavern*

"I would be more careful where I slept Denieru, shazi has already doubled his value since he entered this Tavern."

*It is Bluenose, he is sitting next to Shazi*

"I just had the most marvelous dream. This was no ordinary sleep that twice has succumbed me into it´s grasp, it was a vision. The SoF has been chosen.."

*I stop talking as I realise others could be hearing this aswell*

*I raise my glass and gives Shazi, Seton and Bluenose a quick nod with my head*

"To the Soldiers of Fortune, to the future...*

*I drink up the last wine left in my cup and quickly reach for my staff as I get up*

"I have to leave you alone for a while now friends, but I shall return before the next sunrise"

*As I charge out of the tavern I nearly stumble into a human traveler entering the tavern through the door*

"Out of my way mortal! Stand back or I shall make you spend the rest of your short life in such agony that it will seem like an eternity of torment."

*I slam the door behind me. As I begin to calm my emotions and regain my sanity I find that my dodo, along with all the others, has been killed... and apparently eaten.*

*Inside the tavern a short explosion is heard from outside, like the sound of thundering only very very close*

*outside the only remains of the half-eaten dodos is a smoldering heap of ash*

[Edited on 21/5/2003 by Denieru]

[Hjelgan]

The bottle of flammable liquid quickly ignites and results in a devastating explosion.
Hjelgan had aimed his throw at Raebid - the bounty hunter - but apparently he’d missed. Not that it mattered since it pretty much killed everything inside. Or that was the plan.
In fact, the only thing dead was a rabbit, who’d been very surprised when he caught a flying bottle of explosive liquid right between his eyes.

Hjelgan rapidly vanishes into the foggy swamps, not leaving any trace what so ever. Believing he's finally put an end to Raebid's misery.

[Fazun]

fazun notices Hjelgan throwin some kind of molotow-cocktail and quickly casts a minor globe of invulnerability.

ay, it's right on its way into yer face ehehehe but let's go outdoors, that ring looks promisin ehehe

/me quickly grabs the ring and heads towards the door. just before leavin he quickly stops, signallin raebid to follow.

let's see what constellation we'r in at the moment ...

/me raises his head and starts to look at the moons.

mmmm i could tap into azaroth's domain ... yeah ... that will do .... can i have the dragonbone knife ?

raebid hands over the knife to fazun, lookin at him a bit puzzled. fazun smiles and starts to chant words of power. he holds the dagger up in the air, movin his body accordin to some slow, dark rythm. the air starts to get colder and colder and light begins to fade. the end of the knife starts to glow deep-blue, sparks poppin out in all directions. just as the day almost turns into night a lightnin strikes from somewhere, engulfin fazun and raebid in pure chaos. the air is now filled with bizarre and almost hurtin loud noises and the first demons respond to the call. suddenly the knife dissapears, followed by thunder ... as if nature remembered a bit late that there needs to be thunder with lightnin ...

some time passes where it seems as if time stands still, then everythin turns back to normal. the knife lies on the ground in front of raebid. fazun picks it up and offers it to raebid.

take it, it will lead you to Hjelgan as long as we have a deal with the demons.

/me looks at his new magic ring and smiles all over his face.

ay, this' a nice ring and i feel some sort of magic flowin through it. i think i go back to the tavern, examinin that thingy ehehehe

[Edited on 21/5/2003 by Fazun]

[Seton]

*Sees Denieru walking out the door and looks at Bluenose*

"Hmm... If it's true what he said, then I guess a drink is in order"

*Looks at Duoae*

"Can I have two ale's please?"

*Bluenose looks at him*

"You thirsty Seton?"

*Seton smiles*

"I still could use some help with the making of my new arrowheads from Duoae, I want to offer him a drink for his future trouble"

*Bluenose hands over the money for the two ale's*

"Thanx Bluenose"

*Seton walks over to the bar, gets two ale's and walks to Duoae*

"I'm here to give you a free ale my friend. I hope you enjoy it"

[Duoae]

*Nods his appreciation*

"Thanks Seton. Running a little low on the ol' GPs. Not much action been happening around here lately - and the cost of renting my new smithy and the other necessities of life is burning a hole in my pocket faster than the money coming in from work is filling it.......

I'd be glad to work on your arrowheads. If you want them to be magic though you'll either have to hire a magician, or cast the spells and incantations yourself. I can however, vouch for the physical perfectness of the heads i make - and as i have stated before, if you require the utmost quality, then i can always utilize the Faenan Droon........."

*Sips his ale*

[IronMonk]

well it looks like you need an enchanter
*rubs palms*
i think we can help each other...

[Edited on 21/5/2003 by IronMonk]

[kronvet]

*Walks into the tavern and up to the barkeep*

Kron: I'll take one

Barkeep: One what? We server bee, water and stuff thats "not" wine.

Kron: One of those.

*walks over to beer keg, lays down and uncorks the tap, after almost drowing in beer gets back up*

Kron: Sorry, here.

*Tosses a gold coin*

Kron: Us Gnomes have a mighty thirst. Almost as mighty as our friends over there.

*Points to Braaaah*

Kron: For now I'll be over here

*Kron drags the keg to the corner, where he sits comfortably on top cross legged, occasionally reacing down to refill his beer*

[Raebid]

*examines the knife and smiles*
-This is perfect. Now there is no turning back.
*looks up to the moons*
*screams*
-Hjelgan! If you are out there then you better prepare....I'm coming for you know, and hell is coming with me!
*starts runing in the direction that the knife shows*

[Shazi]

*leans back in my chair, not so sober anymore, and lets a big "BURP" slip past my lips*

*takes out a big ruby earlier stolen from a miner who was very busy with keeping a mountain troll at bay*

*Looks at Bluenose*

Ain't this a beauty eh?

*Raises myself from my chair and starts walking towards the door to drunk to notice that another thief seems to be interested in my newly found jewel*

[TheHazzard]

*opens the door and walks in*

*sees the theif thats trying to steal Shazi's Jewel*

*Takes up his axe and cut of the theives head in one chop*

umm... Anyone want some Fresh Gnome Meat?

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*Was troubled in countin the 2 gold coins he received from raebid for the info..*
-Gruuummpf.. one... humm.. one gruumpf..
*Scratch his head .. as he really forgot what was after one ..*
-Grummpf.. one and one! Grummpf..!
*He was so concentrated he didn't see all the crowd enterin the tavern..*
*He raised his head and saw Bluenose standin near him with a smile askin what he would like for a drink..*
-Gruumpf..!!! A big beer plz.. thx Bluenose.
*then he saw a small creature pointin at him..*
*Look at his body...*
-Gruumpf?!! What? did I spill beer on me?? gruumpf?

[Pistols]

*Wakes up from a seemingly neverending state of coma like sub-conciousness...*

WRRAAAGGH....
oh.
Damn, I feel like I've been away for days, but I've still had th usual intake of ale.

It can only be a good thing.

*Whispers to Braaah...* one, two.

Anyway, who's round is it? Bluenose? no? Ahhhhh.....
Haz, you just come in, your round... ;)

You leavin already Shazi? Just because you feel a bit drunk? Stay and have another.

[blue_fire]

Free candy anyone?

[Bluenose]

"Ahh a large beer Braaah, I dont know why I even asked!"

*Buys the beer for Braaah and goes back to his seat, noticing a dead knome on the floor with a rather shaky on his feet Shazi, and Seton looking rather pleased with himself*

"Seton take that thing outside, its making this place look.... emm more untidy than it already is"

*Noticed the jewl in shazi's hand*

"Here barkeep, take this to pay for the drinks!"

*With that the jewl floats out an astonished Shazis hand and lands on the bar*

"Thats better, now where was I, o yes, I was about to say what ive been up to..."

[blue_fire]

HAHAR! (mutters pyrosoti nostad) *HUGE firewall appears out of nowhere, just for fun*
Ok ok i admit, its just an illusion

[Fazun]

/me slowly turns the ring around and examines it closely.

now what do i feeeeel here ... hmmmm ... hmmmm ....

/me closes his eyes and mutters some ancient words. some sort of black and very dense cloud appears around the ring. fazun starts to gesture with his left hand, using it as some sort of remote control for the cloud.

mmmmm seems it can't hurt me, but damm it doesn't want to tell me its secrets ... at least not this way grrrr ... hmm seems i'm up for the field-test again grunt ...

with these words the cloud disappears and fazun puts on the ring. he immediately feels the magic flowin much easier through him now.

ahhh whoa ahhh oooohh yeah hahahahahah mmmmm ....

/me looks at his new ring of increased mana +2 happily

ay, must be like a local artifact or so hmmm and i almost wanted to sell it for a beer or two ehehehe

ay, but i could use somethin to drink now ...

[eg0]

*Suddenly bright shine fills a corner in the tavern and then fades away*
Greetings wiseone, may I rest my back here?
*Glances Aeternitas that calmly nods*
It's been ages now, has days been kind to you?
*Looks up for the keeper that seems to be busy*
*Mumbles and in the very same moment there is a pint filled of beer in the table*
Please, drink this. It helps for the consern that harash your knowledge..

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*Hear Pistols whisperin some words..one, two..*
-Gruumpf.. What? wan to what Pistols??
*Think a moment and repeat the words he heard.. want to.. wan too?? won to?*
-Gruumpf.. oh yes..! one two!! Thanks Pistols.. me Stupid sometimes.. I forgot there's way to remember.. one mouth, two eyes.. one head, two hands.. Gruumpf..
-Anyway .. gruumpf no need to know numbers after that.. is already too much for me hihihi..
*takes the big beer offered by Bluenose and fiinished before any flies could drown in it..*
-...... Buurp.. grummpf.. sorry..
*Then see in a row...wall of fires.. big mists.. and flashy lights in the tavern..*
-Gruumpf.. why those magicians need to show off their tricks in here.. gruumpf.. one of this day.. there will be an incident in here .. gruumpf

[TheHazzard]

*Pays for 4 beers*
arrgh your prices are high
*gives Blue, Braaaah and Pistols one each*
Thats the last beer I ever will give u Pistols u thirty little dwarf

[Seton]

"Thank you for your help Duoae, ofcourse I will gladly pay you some gold for your services"

*Looks rather pleased with himself*

Bluenose: "Seton, take that thing outside, its making this place look.... emm more untidy than it already is"

*Seton looks at the gnome and than at Bluenose*

"Are you talking about the gnome? I'm not going to take it outside! The Hazzard killed it, let him do it!"

*Seton sees Bluenose being confused*

Bluenose: " The Hazzard?? Hehe, wrong guy, it could happen to anyone right?"

*Seton nods and then turns back towards Duoae and Ironmonk*

"So you think you can assist me with that, do you Ironmonk? I appreciate the offer and I might take you up on it later, but for now I want to see how my new arrowheaddesign works on it's own"

[Shazi]

*Sits down besides Bluenose*

More beer bartender... that jewel should at least get me and my friends 5 more beers each...

*waits for the bartender to come with my beer*

*starts drinking but suddenly stops and raises from my chair*

Well, i've had enough now, i will see you guys later on in the guildhall, i have to make use of my newly found riches...

*winks at bluenose and marches away out the door*

*when outside i take out a heavy black pouch of fine leather with the initials "BN" on it*

*notices a beggar leaning towards the Taverns wall*

Do ya have a few coins to spare sir?

*looks at him with a lust of death in my eyes but then suddenly smiles*

*throws him the black pouch*

Here ya go, but you migh want to spend it elsewhere since the former owner of the pouch is still in there*

*wanders of muttering something about "revenge" and "jewel"*

[Caveo_Eminor]

*stands up after a certain beggar in a hurry has knocked him over, and opens the door to the bar*

-been a long day.. too long of a day

*nods to the crowd and sits down at the bar, ordering a pint of ale and after downing it falls asleep on the counter*

Zzzzz...

[Duoae]

*Wanders back in after adjourning to his smithy and presents Seton with a prototype arrowhead*

"Here ya go. What do you think?"

*The shining steel lump is flat with a classical diamond shaped cross-section. However, the point curves first outwards then inwards in a kind of 'spade - from a pack of cards' look. There is still a little amount of rainbow refraction - as is usually found on unfinished products........ but as this is a prototype........*

"Hey if that's not your style, then i can make them lighter - or i have another design in mind too. A kind of 'star' cross section with 4-barbs instead of the normal two......."

*Sits down at the table and orders everyone a drink*

[Bluenose]

*smiles as an old begger enters the Tavern*

"Ahh I guess shazi is a spredictable as ever, come and join us my friend, and take off that ridiculous cloak"

*Watches as Delta takes off his disguise and sits down next to him, Delota removes the pouch from his pocket and throws it on the table*

"Thanks delta, lucky I realised what that lightfingered Thief had done before you came in"

Delta : "Any time Luin, now surly thats worth a drink for me"

"Sure thing,"

*goes up to the bar*

[Fazun]

tap tap tap

/me waits impatiently at the bar for his beer

rrrrrr grrrrrrr now where's that beeeeeer ? you like have to produce it first or what hrrrrmpf

the barkeep frowns and hands over one hell of a giant mug. then he starts to smile with the thought of revenge in his face and snaps at fazun : take that, little bigmouth ...

/me rolls eyes and then closes them, head back all yoda-style and stuff. he starts to row with his arms in the air

uhh the force be with me uuuh uhhh the forrrrrrccccce

the mug starts to float and 2 gold coins appear at its old place. the barkeep takes them and mutters somethin about freaks everywhere and times are bad anyway with all those dodo activists and stuff ...

[Caveo_Eminor]

*Wakes up and raises head. Grabs a menu from the bar and starts to look for something to eat*
-What??? I don't believe it.. you people are serving and eating Dodo's??
*looks agry at several people that are munching down on a Dodo-steak*
-The barbarism!
-Safe the Dodo!
*someone knocks Caveo over with a heavy object*

[awilgher]

Enters the Tavern looking confused and unsure of himself
Notising the chaos within the tavern...
Walks to the bar...signals the barkeep...
*a Pint of ale, barkeep*
sits down next to weird looking unconsious guy reading the menu
checks his pouch...cant find it
*so much for my thiefing career...*
Sips beer...and orders another pint

[Pistols]

*wonders who threw the tankard at Caveo's head... wants to thank him/her*

bloody activists...

Barkeep, I'm still thirsty. Another ale.
Thank you Haz for that last one. Feels like I've been drinkin it for ages.
I think I must be blacking out from lack of alcohol.

*Bangs head against table to make sure I'm awake*

hmmmmf, cheap tables....

*the table now has large crack from where Pistols is sitting to the middle of it.*

[Seton]

*looks at the new arrowhead*

"Thank you Duoae, it looks great! I wonder how it's in flight"

*Takes his bow and aims at the window*

*As he was about to fire, a familiarlooking beggar walked in front of it. He just managed to aim higher before the arrow flew from his bow. It scaved a tankard which hit Caveo on the head and then the arrow went in one of the rafters, just missing fhman*

"Oops"

*turns around towards Duoae*

"The arrowhead looks good to me, but next time I'll test it outside. I do have one adaptation in mind though. Could you edge away some in the middle-left and middle-right so it becomes a bit like a trident?"

*hands over a drawing and some gold*

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*laugh when saw Pistols crushin the table with his head..*
-hihihi.. gruumpf.. you got the spirit of a Troll Pistols.. hihi.. grummpf.. well a quarter-troll..hihi

*see Seton discussin about arrows..*
-Gruumpf.. you know me found something interestin maybe for your arrow..
*take a small dark stone in his purse and show it to Seton and Duoae..*
-Gruumpf.. special stone.. see.. it sticks to my armor.. I call it attractin stone.. maybe you could make a guided arrow with it.. gruumpf..In massive battle you could sent it anywhere and it coud find automatically a target... sometimes Braaaah have good idea..no?

[Raebid]

*enters the tavern*
Hello guys, whats new in town?!
*sits down in the corner*
*mutters something about always have a wall against his back*

[blue_fire]

*A blue flash covers the room then blue fire appears*
*everyone stares at the little fairie"
"What?! havent you ever seen a teleport spell?!"

"10 cm3 of your "finest" ale and whatever finora and pistols want."
*drops bag of coins on the table and notices the arrow in the rafters. Silly rangers


[Edited on 25/5/2003 by blue_fire]

[DivZ3r0]

/me is still sitting in the corner of the tavern with his invisibilite cape.
*still wondering about a nice line to show up with*

/me thinks ah forget it im having a bad day, i cant even come up with a nice cool line that fits my reputation.

*leaves the tavern, mounts harry and rides away*

[Duoae]

*leaves the tavern, mounts harry and rides away*

*Duoae thinks to himself that that sounds like the begining of a new reputation*

"BTW, who's Harry? Sounds kinda funny......."

:p

*Shows Seton the new improved arrow*

"It's more like a trident now, but at the points there are now barbs on both sides of each separate head - if you know what i mean. Should increase the amount of 'stickyness' and damage you can inflict with just one arrow......."

[DivZ3r0]

harry is my wardodo, he is trainer to peck to to dead in no time, he is faster then the wind and can be noiseless and go up with the terrain if needed
He is the best friend of george, the even more mightier and better trained dodo of finora(fhman), since finora also trained harry. And you better not make fun off his name, because soon you will either respect it or fear it.

And btw i was invisible you could have noticed me, only could have seen harry riding away outside :P. Basicly this post was because i want to enter the tavern, but i still have to find a good moment to enter :)


*stops harry*

*looks back to the tavern*

*looks towards the horizon and the warm sun*

*thinks, that is were i belong*

*rides of towards wilderniss and adventure*

[Caveo_Eminor]

uuuuuuugh...

*opens eyes, but has trouble to focus*

ughprfff..

*shakes head and glaces at the tankard, and tries to speak again*

brfghbwoah, who came up with the idea of armor-plated tankards? This one looks like it can survive 3 months worth of siege.

*casts minor deflection just in case 'someone' (eyes Duoae and Seton) decides to play with their bow and arrows again and rubs the spot on his head where a lather large bruise is appering, and orders a large mug of coffee*

[Duoae]

*A fairy riding a Dodo? Hmmmmmmmm.*

*Duoae gets out his wallet - first making sure Shazi isn't too near, and proceeds to count his money. After a few moments he looks up an says in a loud clear voice*

"Hey, does anyone fancy getting some chinese in? I got a craving for special fried rice....."

[Seton]

*Looks at the new and improved spearpoint*

"Ah yes, that looks great. I also was thinking about some barbs in the points. I hope it's also good in flight"

*Sees Duoae backing up*

"Don't worry, I won't try it again in here"

*Sees Duoae getting his wallet*

Duoae: "Hey, does anyone fancy getting some chinese in? I got a craving for special fried rice....."

*remembers his own pouch is empty and comes up with an excuse for not having enough gold with him to pay for the chinese food*

"Uhm, I don't like chinese. You never now if they've put dodomeat in there, because I heard they sometimes do"

*Sees Caveo looking up at him*

[blue_fire]

"hmm i want chinese. As long as its not far. Actually we're better off not going. One sec..... "
*hums a few musical notes to himself, blue flash appears and viola*
2 steaming plates filled with fried rice, lemon chicken 'n' dodo and prawn crackers appear.
"here you go Duoae, hope you dont mind eating with your hands"
"hmmmm lemon fried dodo. eat that dodo activists!" *throws a chunk of the dodo to caveo eminor*

[Duoae]

*Duoae digs in and scoffs his plate full of food*

"Hehe. Thanks blue_fire. Now all we need is some beer."

*Looks expectantly at blue_fire*

"HEY! I got the chinese, it's your turn!" blue_fire defends himself.

"Okay, okay! Barkeep, two drinks here! oops, make that three - one for seton. He seems a little broke atm....."

[blue_fire]

*flies down and sips at the beer, not drinking to much*
"i dont recoment giving ale to a ranger like seton, look at that arrow in his hand...."
*pokes the little piece of sumthing or other that is in the beer... mutters about cheap taverns..*

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

-Why are you eatin your "shy niece"??? Grummpf?? As she been bad?
*Feel a bit sad for the poor girl..*
-Gruumpf..Can I taste your shy niece Blu fire?? Maybe she is good taste?

[DarkBH]

walks up to a guard outside the tavern"

"the guard a little startled"(by how this huge troll was about to stand before him with out so much as a sound)

"without so much as a word DarkBH reaches to his side pouch and grabs it and hold it out in front on the guard shaking it"

" the guard grins a little and slips a note from under his armor and hands it to me"

" I look at the note and reading it makes me grin"

" the guard starts to shake a little not sure why the huge troll ranger wanted this info and scared to why he does not have his gold payment yet"

the guard starts shaking violently now going for his sword and then the ranger drops the pouch on the ground and the guard bends over to pick it up as he notices that this troll is turning to walk away"

"when the guard come back up counting the gold in the pouch and grinning widely he looks out to were the troll was walking too and see's nothing and makes the hair on the back of his neck stand up not knowing were that scary looking ranger went off to with out a trace"

[blue_fire]

"erm, if u really want to try it then be my guest braaah"
*mutters a few notes and the frothy glass floats over to braaah_de_pit*
"centuries old ale.... whatever tickles your pickle braaah"

[Bluenose]

*sits down next to Braah and starts on his ale, muttering about people not being able to handle their drink*

[blue_fire]

" :exclam: Not handle their drink?! :exclam:
try being this tall and drinking more than 1/4 pint"

*sings a short melody and a small but fully developed thunderstorm appears and starts to rain on bluenose only*

sizeists....

[Duoae]

*Looks at the SoF sigs. Mutters under his breath*

"Muppets........" *Shakes his head*

[Bluenose]

*drops his beer on the floor*

"Damn wings.... Cant hold anything with them properly"

"ANYONE GOT A STRAW?"

[blue_fire]

"Ah, wht to do... let them express what they really are...."
* gets bored and so decides to practice her telepathy... reads bluenoses mind: "Hm now what shall we do, life is full of troubles... first we have that stupid DarkBH.... now their making us have MUPPETS!! for signatures.... i wish i was a fairy......"*

[Edited on 27/5/2003 by blue_fire]

[blue_fire]

*takes pity on The tired guildmaster and so decides to lend a hand. mutters a few notes and a swirly straw with a picture of Elmo appears next to bluenose*
"enjoy"

[Pistols]

*looks up again, wondering why it still seems like days are passing in this weird place...*

hmmm, maybe thats what they were saying about magikal side effects of too much magik discharge...

Another ale Bar-steward. Make it a 'Red Erik'. ;)

[Fazun]

"ahhhhhh buuurrrrp"

/me puts one hand on his stomach and shows that smile indicatin a perfect level of drug-intoxication. savin that beer out of the mug was his holy duty ... or so. after some time he notices some weird lookin sigs on a crowd of people

uh hu, am i havin visions or what ?

/me rubs his eyes and desperately tries to focus on one of the sigs

aarrrnngg can't read, need to fly over there ...

/me tries to get up on his two legs but starts to vary back and forth like a piece of paper dancin in the wind.

whoa ah, tricky thing, but let's turn on the ennngines duuuude

/me starts to flap with his wings, but somehow the rythm ain't right. he drifts to the right as if someone pullin a cord and slams into the tankard caveo inspected a bit angrily ...

ouch sorry ... errm ...

/me rubs his head as a sign of piece and stuff ehehehe

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*see fazun actin weirdly..*
-tsss.. gruumpf.. so people need stop drinkin hihihi..

-You know Pistols.. feeling you've been in for days it's just a lure.. gruumpf..must be a magical tavern or so..
*Think a moment then start countin with his fingers..*
-Dunno how many days I've been here.. but I know I drunk a lot.. gruumpf.. at least and more than 2 drinks. .. like you I think.

-What concern me.. gruumpf.. it's kinda small here and there so many people passin by or restin.. at least there's enough drinks for everyone.. so beer again for me and Pistols waiter!

[Bluenose]

*Gathers his sences and picks up his ale*

"Damn its empty...."

"Whos round is it??"

[Fazun]

"hum, looks like everyone killed his mug and stuff ...."

/me turns to the barkeep

ay, beer to everyone, i guess it's up to me this time ... hic ... oups ...

/me starts to gesture with his left hand and a deep red glow starts to take shape around it. Small drips of red light fall to the ground. fazun stares at it and slowly moves it.

eeeh what's that ? that's wrong, ehhhh go away ...

/me now panically moves his hand and the little light balls shoot away in all directions. then it finally stops, givin fazun a much more relaxed look

phew ... ok, let's try again ...

/me seems to concentrate a bit more this time and with a little "plop" a demon-hand holdin some small pouch appears in the air. fazun grabs the pouch, noddin to the hand that quickly dissolves into nothingness. fazun hands over the pouch of gold to the barkeep.

hmmm it's a bit more than needed for the drinks. can it be you got some information to share ? i mean, you'r the barkeep after all ...

/me smiles, tryin to give the barkeep an illusion of beein all important and stuff

mmm or i could summon you a nice bar*maid* eh ?

[Bluenose]

*Takes the ale from Fazun*

"Hic, Fanks mateie.... Hic..."

*sits down an falls asleap*

[DarkBH]

i walk in and go up to the fire
some of give a rise eyebrow and notice the that this half-troll has a arrow in his chest and one in his leg

with a little grin i rip the arrows out and threw them in the fire then talk with some of my rangers bothers of the light

after a few minuets i walk over to the bar tend and say "me need keg of ale" and i throw a pouch of gold to the keep then reach over the bar with one hand lift a keg up and on my shoulder and with out a word leave

after a few minuets pass a darkelf walks in laughing and say's " who ripped that half elf's arms off out side and then hung him my his own bow string?" and with a grin went over to talk with some friend's of his

[IronMonk]

i have a sugeston about those arrows, i cout rig them to spring open upon entering their unlucky target, so that they would be near impossible to remove... or just use poison. i know several strains that would make the target think hes a school girl

[ufokid]

*Grath Celebrandir walks in, with a large axe on his belt. He walks up to the bar, wondering if the words he just heard were really "school girl". After sitting down, he nods at everyone.*
Bartender, I'll have a glass of milk please.
*Someone starts to laugh, but after one quick glance from Grath he stops. Grath puts one hand on the handle of his axe and sips at his nice, cold glass of Dodo-milk.*

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*hear Ufokid askin for a cold glass of Dodo milk.. and remember last time he drank one he went completely berserk..and it was milk of a good year, something 300 full black moons old*
-Gruumpf..

[Seton]

"must resist the magic.... must leave the tavern"

*walks towards the tavern door*

"Must get out.... warn people.... about this place"

*Falls on his knees and crawls on towards the door*

"But first.... must have.... another drink"

*Stands up and casualy walks over to the bar*

"A glass of your finest wine bartender, Fazun payed you enough"

[Luvtlee]

*enters tavern*

*catches rabbit...hmmm...who threw that?*

"Hey, someone ripped the arms off a half elf and hung him by his own bowstring out front......Whats a girl gotta do to get a little drink around here?"

*Saunters over to Braaa*

"Heya sexy, how you doing?"

[Bluenose]

*falls asleap and starts snoring*

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

-Hey Luvtlee.. gruumpf.. been awhile. Where have you been all these dayz?
*snif her.... smell her.. trying to figure out where she has been travellin..*
-Grummpf.. you got special smell..
*wave to the waiter..*
-Gruumpf... 2 fresh beers for me and luvtlee and a pillow for the blue bird who is snorin..
*put 2 fingers in each holes of the nose of Bluenose... see him havin difficulties in breathin..then take it back..*
- hihihi.. gruumpf.. hihi

[DarkBH]

I walk in chewing on a raw Dodo's Leg

I look around some and walk over to the fire

[Absolution]

*feels sorry for the dodo*

"hmmmm that smells good"

*sniffs*

[DarkBH]

after letting the meat cook over the fire some. I look over at Absolution then i pull out a dagger and cut off a cooked piece and with a little whistle to make sure he is alert i throw him the piece of Dodo meat

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*see the piece of meat flying in direction of Abs.. then with an amazin jump he catch the meat in the air with his mouth wide open.. fall back to his chair like a feather.. then say with an innocent smile..*
-Gruumpf... miaam.. sorry abs.. it was a reflex..
*still chewin the meat..*
-Gruumpf...You want it back Abs??

[Fazun]

whoa, oups ....

/me jerkily lifts his head after havin almost a little break down because of all the beer processed. he starts to frown.

arrrr rarrrr my head ...

now how did this spell of instant soberness work ...

/me starts to draw runes in the air, but somehow the gesture looks rather unsure. the head of a black killer bunny starts to grow out of the bar.

errrrm ...

/me looks at the bunny and it starts to growl, showin two rows of razor sharp teeth.

oh ... oh ....

/me points a finger towards the head of the bunny and mutters the words of destruction. the air between him and the monstrosity turns black and starts to consume the thing. with blind rage the head snaps after fazun.

whoa ....

/me jumps back a bit, raisin his hand again but the spell finally finishes its dirty work, leaving behind nothin else than the sweet smell of victory.

arrrrr that was close, me thinks i better not try that spell again ...

/me notices bra stealin the piece of dodo meat flyin through the room

ahhh but somethin to eat would be cool indeed ...

[Edited on 5/6/2003 by Fazun]

[DarkBH]

i laugh out loud seeing the meat snatched out of the air then slide my dagger back and say
"if you want Dodo meat just come get some cut off own piece"

then i walk over to bar and sit on floor so i don't tower over every body then say
"me and dwarfs kill many orc today round of what ever drink on me till this bag of gold run out" and pour a bag of 500 gold on the bar to the bar tender

[Pistols]

*Picks up axe, walks over to the bar, notices bag of gold for ale.*

Hmmm, I'll have a barrell barkeep. Just keep em comin.

*picks up the bar-keeps rag, and cleans the last of the ale and splinters from the axe from the earlier bar destruction.*

aaahh, much better. A well kept weapon is a warrors best ally...

*sits back down and waits for the ale to start flowing.*

[Luvtlee]

"Oh I've been......around" *mischievous grin*

*pats Bluenose on the head*

"There's something sweet in the way the bluebirds orange beak quivers when he snores."

*licks Braaa's cheek...tangy bitterness of sweat...blood of those who have gotten in his way...mmm attractive...*

"You've been busy...."

*takes fresh beer offered, drinks deeply*

"Mmmm...thanks Braaa...its good to see you"

*looks over at Fazun conjuring a dark bunny of death...the dodo roasting on the open fire...many that are drunk...a few that have passed out...*

"This place feels like home"

[Fazun]

/me sees darkbh cuttin on some thingy, obviously beein the source of all flyin dodo meat ...

hmmm, that meat doesn't really look bloody enough, but it may work better with throwin this way, who knows ...

/me slowly moves each of his two wings as if runnin through a checklist before take-off.

hmmm hmmm seems that little accident at least pumped enough adrenalin through my veins to get it workin again ... gooood ehehehe

eh 'op ...

/me jumps up and flies over to darkbh and lands on hands and feet, a bit like an insect. he frowns at darkbh who looks quite amused ...

pfff one learns from a zillion crash landings ...

/me manages to stand up

ehehehe but anyway, you'r sharin some of that ded dodo ?

/me lowers his voice a bit

arrr we better just keep an eye on those safer-dodo activists and stuff ehehehe

[Edited on 6/6/2003 by Fazun]

[Wismerhill]

*see an intriguing lady licking the cheek of his friend Braaaah*
*come closer to Braaaah and whisper to his ear*

"where in Gothar's name did you find a lady like that.. are you sure she is safe and not a succubus like last time?? And do you know if she got a single girlfriend??"

[Edité le 7/6/2003 par Wismerhill]

[ufokid]

*yells at Fazun. He is mad because the bunny knocked over his dodo milk... >:-(

[Fazun]

hmmm, did i hear someone call my name ?

/me turns around, searchin the crowd. he quickly notices a dwarf starin at him as if he sold his grandpa.

ha, that stupid coin-hugger wants to pick a fight ?

/me then notices a fallen glass of dodo-milk, causin quite a mess.

hmmm, aw grrrr, seems like my little fight didn't really go *that* unnoticed i hoped for.

/me turns to the barkeep, pointin with a finger to ufokid and almost yells :

ey, another glass of dodo-milk for that fine dwarf over there.

/me turns back to ufokid, beamin him a smile and gesturin somethin like "i'm sorry"

[RandAlThor]

*shayd figure walks in da door*

"who left da dead dodos out theer? theyr all a rottin"

*sits at the table near the corner opposite everyone*

*smells like chaos me thinks... woa da powers gonna be strong tonite*

"ehehyeh gimme da best type o ale for thiseer golden coinage and ull get ur brains grewn back ther"

bartender:"mgflbn agitnoama arghun" (sa bout time I got me brains back)

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*his face turn red when Wismerhill whispered in his ear..*
-I dun know.. gruumpf.. She seems nice Wismerhill.. about the rest you beter ask her yourself..

*look around...*
-Gruumpf.. many people drunk.. long time having heard their voices.. bartender!! Grummpf.. beer for everyone.. maybe they'll be more talkative after that.. and it's on Wismerhill..

[Bluenose]

"wakes up when braah mentions free beer"

*Takes the beer and sits down*

[Caveo_Eminor]

*sees all the dodo meat flying around the tavern*

this... this.. this...

*quickly drinks one of the beers*

I'm gonna need a lot more beers to forget this sight.... this is horrible

*walks over to the fireplace and takes the roasting dodo. Caveo casts "Kragoths' Minor Tremor" and the floorboards start cracking and ripping apart. A crack 3 meters long and two meters deep appears in mid tavern. Caveo drops all remaining dodo bodyparts in the hole, and ponders if he should try to take the last dodo leg from Braaah....*

maybe not today....

*Braaah eyes Caveo*

sofly muttering: Definately not today... but I'll have my revenge...

*Walks out of the tavern and mutters a spell again while exiting, sealing the hole in the floor, and slams the door shut while shouting "MODRIG WILL BE BACK!"*

[Luvtlee]

*Hands Bluenose a straw*

"You flatter me Wismerhill...I am no more a succubus, a cauchemar, then I am a daughter of Hecate herself....and I travel alone...for now."

*Takes a sip of beer...glances in disdain at Caveo*

"What a waste of good meat. Ah, well, now where did that rabbit get off too...you boys fancy a bit of stew?"

[RandAlThor]

"whoooey that wasa goodun... whats da? whateer appened to dese missin dodo? ima gussen they wents downunder to dasecretive placeage down der..."

{...}

[multiple portals open from various regions across the world]

[dodos fly throught the portals because of their intense gravitational pull]

[around the portlas are balls of srad]

"mmm good dodo meatsas"

[robbiedg]

*Opens the tavern doors.. The silhouette shows a half elf in a long black hooded cloak... the wear and tear of the cloak shows a hard travelled adventurer.

/me looks around.. Weary of the other travellers in the tavern.

*Steps into the tavern and makes his way towards the dark corner of the tavern.

/me looks over his shoulder…

*Sits on the stool and props his feet up on the table..

[Fazun]

/me watches caveo in pure terror.

nay ... awww ... all that good dodo meat ... grrrr

hrrmpf, oh well ..

/me turns to the barkeep

ey, what else can you offer in here ? i mean, some meat ... bloody ...

/me shows some real big thingy

the barkeep smiles suspiciously, lowers his head and voice and whispers to fazun : "eheheh for you, my friend, i have something marvelous". he raises his arms and hands from behind the bar giving free view on some sort of greenish glass. like the one where you can put frogs in (to predict wheater and stuff), just you wouldn't see the frog this time.

/me somehow frowns and replies not overly enthusiastic

ya ? hum, well ... there's some life in there ? do i need to kill it ? any parts i have to throw away ?

"no", replies the barkeep with a big grin, "just eat it ... the *whole thing* ...". the smile now got a somewhat scary note.

/me eyes the glass. something is moving in there.

hum ... well ... i'm hungry ...

/me opens the glass, slowly puttin one hand into it.

hmmm ... ahh ... yes .... aaahhhHHHHHHHHH *crash*

/me destroys the glass with a quick move on the bar. both, the barkeep and fazun, are lookin at fazuns finger. some kind of fish sucks up hardcore-style, startin to eat parts of the finger.

aaahhhh RAAARRRRRRRR

/me now shows two rows of razor sharp teeth and bites with an almost faster than light reflex the thing in halves. the head of the thing still hangs on the finger. fazun slowly removes it with his other hand.

ewwww ... now that was some kind of sick joke ehehehe but i guess i asked ehehe

do you have some dodo left ?

[Edited on 10/6/2003 by Fazun]

[Pistols]

*lost the ability to speak for a while ;)*
*too much blood in the alcohol system*

Free Ale!? Wismerhill paying?
I'll have a keg. or is it too late?

ahh well. Gimme a coule of tankards of 5X barkeep, I needs to catch up with my Drinking. :casstet:

[Bluenose]

*takes the straw from Luvtlee*

"thanksh....."

*I realise how drunk I am and mustter a few words, a refreshing sence returns to me and I start smiling*

"ok, enough ale for me, Barkeep! dodo over here!"

[DarkBH]

lessening to dwarf talk and carry on wile downing all the drink he can get puts grin on me face. Then a large grail startles me before i notice it was my stomach. I look around seeing no more dodo left to eat so i put one hand on the bar and start to pri my self up and hear the wood start to crack or a switch my weight to my other and and use the dwarf to brace me weight. i sniff the air and grin with out a word or sound i walk out side. then a few moments go bay and the loud screeching sound that a dodo makes right before its head is ripped off sounds.

I walk back in with blood spattered all over me and careering a dead dodo in one hand a and eyeballs in the other. i walk over near the fire and toss the meat down and step on it and then i rip a leg off and make my ay back to the bar. i notice that some are staring at me just open mouthed so i say " natural causes" and sit back on the floor next to the dwarf and eat one eyeball as i begin to lessen to the dwarf go on about stories of adventure......

[Fhman]

Looks on in horror at the animalistic killing and mutilation of Dodo's. Hmm what to do ?

*Turns Caveo into a large Blue Dragon*

*Steals the necromancer wand from Bluenose and turns the dead Dodo's into undead Dodos with a craving for warm brains*

*Retires to a safe altitude to watch the ensuing mayhem*

This will show the evil ones that their evil deeds will return tenfold to them and exact a heavy price...

[Fazun]

/me claps his hands in pure excitement

ay yooo, time for some target practice ...

/me changes into a position resemblin remotely some sort of asian fightin-style, then starts to draw runes in quick succession. the air again gets remarkably colder and some sort of fog appears in front of fazun. you can see a beautiful face of a woman inside.

ahhhhh you, freia herself, shall possess my mind and body, unleashin the power of the void onto these walkin dead ...

/me takes a big breath and with it the whole cloud. soon fazun's body explodes into a zillion shiny pieces of something and you face a ragin death dragon. with one quick jump he closes the distance to the first line of walkin dodos and kills them by simply biting them into pieces. he turns to the two remainin dodos and starts to stare his death gaze. his eyes at first seem to loose all their life but then quickly start to glow deep red. the first dodo instantly disintegrates into nothingness. with a grunt the dragon turns his head and slowy processes the last dodo's body. now it more looks like he actually eats them.

/me turns to caveo and hisses

ay, let's go hunt some lighties ...

[RandAlThor]

watches the undead dodos be killed by Fazun...

*and ye call yrselfness a necromancer!*

watches all the dodos that werent disentegreated come back

{...}

[an army of crazed wild dodos appear out of a hole in the air]

"thiseer should be very insterin"

{...}

[a big sheild of chaos surrounds me]

"veeeery intsterin..."

[Caveo_Eminor]

*after having walked 500 yards from the tavern, Caveo suddenly feels a burning sensation.. it feels big.. old.. ancient even.. Then the pain starts. From a spark in his heart the pain races outwards to his chest, coming in waves it radiates outwards into his limbs and finally, his head. A feeling of tremendous power lost in time overcomes him. Caveo struggles to keep control of his own mind... and wins the battle. He's aware now of his new powers*

Thissss feelssss grrreat.....

*From a icy mist, a newly formed blue dragon appears.. only one thing on it's mind.. the hunt. The dragon raises its head above rooflevel and sniffs the air. The smell of freedom.. of power... and of another dragon*

*With more speed than would seem possible the large creature turns around, takes a giant leap and is airborn. With no more than two flaps of its wings, it's hovering over the tavern. A thing this big should not be able to hover, there's strong magic about. The endlessly dark and deep eyes of the dragon seem to narrow for a split-second, like it's contemplating its next move, but then a decision has been made. Suddenly the dragon drops like a cart full of bricks, and breaks trough the tavern ceiling, crushing the feet thick logs that have been holding it up for centuries*

*The two dragons are now directly opposite of eachother. The blue Caveo-dragon is the first to act.. it spews a stream of icy cold air towards the death dragon, covering it -and the rest of the tavern- in two inches of ice and hisses*

why Fasssuuuun... you wantsss to play withsss me?

*the CaveoDragon lashes out with his tail, breaking the frozen tip off Fazuns' tail*

let ussss play then....

[Edited on 13/6/2003 by Caveo_Eminor]

[Pistols]

I'm not sure whats worse.... DarkBH leaning on me... GGGRRRRRR.... :mad:
Him killing the dodo.... grr. :(
or the fact that it just got bloody cold in here.... :casstet:

Ahh well, at least the ale is cold for once. :cool:

*swigs the ice cold ale*

ahhhh.

Right, now I'm ready.

KICK HIS ASS CAVEO! :cool: :P

hmmm, maybe when that piece of tail thaws we can BBQ it!

[DarkBH]

i lift my left cheek and let go a fart that would make a dwarf proud and cleared half the room. I go back to eating my now undead leg of dodo and say " little spicy but me likes it" ;)

[Denieru]

*As I travel towards the tavern through the forest a wave of energy hits me with the force of a dodo running at full speed.*

"There is some powerful magic being performed nearby, I sense a breach in the fabric of the world, something has changed nearby.."

*I quickly hasten my stride and as I approach the tavern I see that something has made a big hole in the roof. The magic is so strong in the air you can almost see it dancing around like mist, sparkling with all the colors of the rainbow.*

"Dear Earth Mother, what is going on here?"

*After performing a simple ritual drawing upon natural shadow and darkness to conceal me and drawing raw magic power into my staff, ready to be released at will, I close the distance to the tavern and slowly opens the door*

"..."

*Two dragons, of different species, face eachother inside the tavern. This is impossible, dragons do not confront eachother unless there is good reason, and certainly not in a place remotely like this? Then I realize the nature of the scene before me, someone has been foolish enough to transform themselves, in part, to a dragon.

"Damned fools!! If you do not change back quickly your souls may be trapped inside this new body and the beast within will take over."

*This madness must end, but I will need help to reverse the transformation, where is Bluenose? After spotting Bluenose I quickly race over to him only to find that he has somehow managed to drive a straw up his nose.*

"Helo Denieru! Nische to schee that you have returnd. *hick* Care for a drink?"

*And suddenly a bad situation just got worse...*

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

*while he was talkin nicely to Luvtlee he heard a big crash in the tavern.. then a sudden cold..*
-Gruumpf.. Why in Aesir am I stuck frozen solid ice...
*He consider a moment the situation with the pretty Luvtlee still on his knees... and said to her..*
-Grrrummpf.. At least we got each other to keep it hot in herre..
*He look around and see what was the root of this problem.. 2 big dragons picking up a fight.. and start yellin..*
-Grrr.. can you read the board NO FFFFfffffffff.... hum... nothing..
*he was about to yell no fight.. but then who's crazy enough to stop them.. and he was in no position to make them angry..*
-Hum Hum.. gruumpf.. just wanna say can you play outside.. there's a big garden for you 2..
*he said with a forced smile..*
-Heps.. bartender.. gruumpf.. can I have 2 glass of hot milk plz for me and Luvtlee..

[Fazun]

/me almost enjoys the icy coldness brought with caveos breath. but loosing part of his tail didn't really have a soothin effect on the creature.

aarrrrrrrrrr, you got a nice breath there bro ...

/me turns to look at his tail that slowly regenerates itself.

ehehehehe i would fly like a drunken fly without our balancin tool ...

/me turns back to caveo. yellow steam comes out of his nostrils.

you'r up for a little diner on lighties now or not ?

/me jumps, flaps his wings and quickly disappears in the dark night sky, knowing caveo can feel where he is.

[Edited on 13/6/2003 by Fazun]

[RandAlThor]

*hmm...*

"what the?!? no fight?!?" :(

"oah vell just mo finseterr winen fer mah teh indigest"

looks over at bluenose with a straw up his nose

*...*

"h h he he heh heh heh hahahahaha"

milk poures out nose((thats kinda weird... i wasn't drinkin milk...))

"gimme oneo dems der barkeep"
((oh ya i forgots to tell yall, me name be 'Rath' k cause it sounds much better than 'rat'))

[Edited on 13/6/2003 by RandAlThor]

[Fazun]

/me glides over the landscape painted by the light of the moon. by using the thermal streams of air squeezing itself through the mountain-barrier he rarely needs to flap his wings.

huh, did that other dragon really wanted to fight ? makes no sense now that we'r so rare ... no need to eliminate ourselves and stuff ...

/me grunts. seems he noticed light magic in the area.

ahhh ... diner ... yes .....

/me quickly finds the source of perverted magic, a lutin druid.

ay yeah, he shall have a meetin with mother earth soon ehehehe but first he gets introduced to father death yep

/me starts to dive towards the ground. the air itself seems to cry and try to stop fazun, but of course there is no such thing. with some sort of funny noise the lost druid ends up between fazuns migthy claws. at least most of him. fazun does the eye trick again and disintegrates the druid while gainin some height.

mmmm that was some good mana source, indeed ehehehe

let's see what else wanders around lonely this night ...

[Luvtlee]

*I take the straw out of Bluenose's nose and put it in his glass for him.*

"Here friend, try again."

*Turns back to Braaa...dimly aware of loud noises, magic conjuring, dragons and such in the tavern...the roof could cave in for all that I'm aware....there's something about his eyes, his smell, his taste... dragons in the tavern? It is suddenly very cold. I smile when he says at least we got each other to keep it hot in here....I like the way he Grrrummpf's....I hear him tell the dragons to play outside, laughter in my head...hehe play..."

*Takes glass of hot milk*

"Mmmm....thanks Braaa"

*Smiles and continues nice talk...*

[Bluenose]

*heard his voice being shouted, and notices the straw up his nose*

*thanks Luvtlee for removing the straw*

"ok enough drink for me"

*Gets up and walks outside to the dodo water trough, takes a deep breath and dunks his head into the icy cold water*

"ahhhh refreshing!!! Thats much better"

*Gets up, and dripping, walks into the tavern and sits down*

"Ok, who called my name??"

[Denieru]

*watches as Bluenose calmly walks outside, apparantly ignoring the dragon, and returns, soaking wet, to sit down again.*

"I hope the water has cleared your mind Master Bluenose. Since nobody seems to mind the fact that a big dragon occupies the tavern I will assume that everything is in order. May the Earth Mother rescue his soul once the dragonsoul takes over and the one foolish enough to perform such dangerous magic is trapped inside forever."

*rembers that my staff is still charged with raw magical energy and discharges straight up creating a new hole in the already broken ceiling, missing Finora by dodosnose*

"Oops, sorry Finora. Did not see you up there. "

*as I sit down besides Bluenose I notice that the ugly barbarian is talking to Luvtlee*

"Now there is a scene from the tale "Beuty and Beast" if ever I saw one. Although, depending on your interpretation, I am not sure who´s who?"

[Caveo_Eminor]

*after the Fazun-dragon left, the Caveo-dragon has remained motion-less for the duration. No sound or movement has occured, and even though BlueNose walked right past the dragons' head he still seems to have his head attached to his body... something is not right here*

*all of a sudden, the CaveoDragon takes off in a renewed icy mist. The air moved by the flapping of its wings moving the leftover furniture trough the tavern. From the icy mist left behind by the dragon a see-trough ghostly version of Caveo seems to have been left behind*

Sorry about the roof people

*The Caveo spirit whispers some runes, and the roof collapses again, but backwards.. soon the last splinters return to the logs where they originated from and the roof covers the tavern once more*

*Caveo notices everyone looking at him (and trough him)*

Okay.. maybe I'll need to explain this... I kinda split myself in two parts... that dragon was way too much fun to be, so I couldn't abandon it... part of me is still in that dragons mind.. I've got a powerfull pet now :P. Thing is... there isn't enough left of me here to make me totally solid

Ah well.. Barkeep.. do you have any semi-ghostly ale for me? For I think that the solid stuff will pass straight trough me and make this floor even more sticky than it allready is...

*meanwhile, the dragon has left and chases the trail of Fazun at very high speed.. sensing the light ahead, and ready to join Fazun in destroying it.. in another topic*

[Edited on 16/6/2003 by Caveo_Eminor]

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

-Grreaat.. grrummpf.. bigs beasts fly away..
*Drink his hot milk gently.. while fixing the beautiful eyes of Luvtlee*
-Gruumpf.. is there a sorcerer or a carpenter in the tavern?? gruumpf.. the roof.. the roof needed to be fixed..

[Caveo_Eminor]

*eyes Braaaah*

Eeehm.. dunno what you've mixed with that milk there, but I'm sure it holds more alcohol than it should... I allready fixed the roof....

*sees that Braaah only has eyes for Luvtlee*

ah... that could explain it too :P

Anyways... now for my ghostly ale...

*joins Denieru and BlueNose at their table*

[Pistols]

Hmmmm, shame the bar wasn't fixed like the roof. I must remember to keep my axe swinging under control...
Ahh, it's been quite a while since that incident anyway.

*looks around*

Hmmm, wonder wher Hjelgan is. I need a new drinkin partner.
Even Hadin would do... If he isn't dead from drinkin Troll-Fire yet.

Bar-keep, another ale over here.

[DarkBH]

i use Pistols as something to brace my hand on again wile i get up off the floor thou he gives me a dirty look doesn't seem to mind too much. i walk over near the fire stretching out my long arms and rolling my neck back and let off a big yawn and cracking my knuckles. I bend over reach into the fire and pull up some ash and bath my face in it and wipe my arms to hide my sent. i chant something and my pet comes into sight out of a mist. i take out a leather bag and reach into the fire again not seeming to mind to much as i pull out some rocks i had places there and putting them into my bag that had dirt in it to protect it from catching fire. i take my long bow off my back and restring it then put the bag full of hot rocks on my back.

after leaving the bar i run using my ranger way so i do not leave a track or make a sound as i go. After about 20 mins of running and making sure i was not followed. i go to a ranger tree pull out a note and grin and then leave my mark on it and put it back.

I go and set some traps and talk too the animals around to make sure no one is around. After feeling fairly safe i set my wolf on watch. I dig a long path in the ground about 2 fingers deep and then length of my body. then i pour the still hot rocks out and speed them about the dig up ground. after covering them with dirt i lay down on the warm dirt just as it begins to snow.
i begin to go into a deep sleep and feel my self falling forward and when i head rams into the bar i wake up realizing i am still sitting next to this Pistols dwarf. I say " Good drink" then down the mug before me and pass out on the bar with a loud thump

[Pistols]

*Give DarkBH an angry look. watches him go into a dreamworld then drink and proceed to collapse*
Brings a smile to my face.
*Laughs Heartliy, then calmly starts to announce*

The next person to use me to stand up, get up, lean on, is gonna have my axe leaning on their HEAD!!!

hhmmmmpf. Ah well.

Hope you have a good sleep DarkBH.

Another ale Bar-steward

[RandAlThor]

Rath raises hand for another drink

"mesh gotstah keppin deh besteerest drankun personags"

Rath falls on floor

[Bluenose]

"Ahh Caveo, join us, having a good drink?"

[Luvtlee]

"Bartender, is this a full service Tavern by chance...a room for rent? I need to..ah...rest up a bit...before heading back out"

*sets emtpy glass on bar*

[DarkBH]

:P I wake to a loud fart coming from me that is so potent that Pistols
faints and yet to my amazement didn't spill his ale.
After stretching i order a pint for the dwarf if he ever wakes up.
then i go to sit near the fire.......

[Fhman]

Hmm that fart was pretty vile. Just as well I didn't turn Caveo into a fire breathing dragon. The explosion would have killed us all.

*Hears the rumbling sound of many galloping War Dodos from outside*

*Flies up to the window to see a troop of 50 soldiers from a nearby light kingdom, ride up, stop and dismount outside the tavern.*

I wonder what they want ? Odd that so large a troop of soldiers would be sent to this place ? Perhaps I should warn Denieru? Then again why spoil the surprise for them....

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

-Gruumpf..
*strech also abit...*
-Grummpf... been sit too long.. need to move feet a bit.. gruumppf..
*make some jumpy steps till the bar..*
--There.. feel beter.. now bartender gimme some fresh beer nned some.. been talking too much these last hours :)

[Denieru]

*notices a slight tremble as if something big moving outside*

"Did you sense something Master Bluenose?"

*I wonder if one of those dragons has returned?*

"Master Caveo, has your dragon body returned?"

*the surprise in Master Caveo expression reveals nothing to verify that fact. As I look up I notice Finora flying by one of the windows.*

"Finora, are you able to look outside? I thought I sensed something outside the tavern, I would not like anymore surprises today, the two dragons earlier were enought to last me a few years."

[Luvtlee]

*ignoring the sound of soliders amassing out front....grabs large bottle of beer...looks to Braaa*

"Join me if you will"

*Heads toward the back rooms to get a bit of....rest....*

[Braaaah_de_Pit]

-Gruuummppff....
*looks deeply into Luvtlee eyes... and get lost in it..*
-Gruumpff.... uuumppf..
*face turn red when he saw Luvtlee going to back rooms.. and her words keep ringing in his head.."join me.. join me.. join me.. if you will..."...*

*he finishes his beer.. then discretly.. he followed her ...*
