Trog's Tavern CXXXII

[Kenyon]

"Awwww...you fellas made me miss my opportunity!" Phil sits back down, depressed.

"Trust me, Phil, it was for the best."

[AmberVael]

Maal looks over to the marshals, smirking.
No skill at all.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

"Well. . . You know what happens when life gives you ****?" He pauses and laughs "You make a flying BOMB" He yells as a large explosion goes off right next to the man from his bird. He flips over a table to block the explosion.

[Ryohoshi]

Angelus chuckles at Maal's comment, Agreed.

[Deadly]

Deadly wakes up from his thoughts and orders another muffin.

[Romulus]

Romulus does nothing as the explosion washes over him. He stands there, looking like nothing really happened.

"Oh, I'm sorry, were you trying to hurt me?"

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin takes a step back in amazement "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU!" He says as he trips over a fallen stool.

[Romulus]

"Like I'm going to tell the Town dumbass..."

[AmberVael]

((Italics is thought, actually, but I'll go with it being spoken out loud, Ryohoshi))
Maal nods to Angelus, smirking.
I don't believe we've met. I'm Maal.

[Ryohoshi]

Angelus((Sorry about the mix up))

[Carrion_Humanoid]

"Im NOT a dumbass you stupid bird! I MADE these guns! I MADE that explosives! I've delt with cops before! I've KILLED people before!" Eralin rants on as his eyes shift to red "I'VE SLAUGHTERED MILLIONS FOR FUN! I KILLED MY PARENTS! I HAVE NO REMORSE, NO PITY!" Eralin rants as his skin takes on a dark red hue and horns sprout from his head as he gets bigger "I CAN SWAT YOU LIKE THE LITTLE FLY YOU ARE!" Eralin says as spikes erect from his back and he reaches the size of a ogre "Flee, or DIE!" It shouts as a fire erects around him.

[AmberVael]

Maal snarls a little as Eralin changes.
Damn demons.
He looks back at Angelus.
A pleasure.

[Romulus]

Romulus yawns.

"You're really boring. Oh, and a dumbass."

[Cathrindir]

Cathrindir fades into existence. He looks briefly and takes a seat at a random table. "White Russian, water on the side, Cosmo."

[Deadly]

Deadly sips his wine and studies the muffin thoughtfully, apparently not noticing the demon.

[Nevrmore]

"That a confession?"

Hawk walks up behind Eralin, looking at him with banal.

[Ryohoshi]

Angelus yawns as he gets up and pays his tab, I'd hate to leave so soon, but I'm very tired.((Gotta do the work thing))

[Carrion_Humanoid]

"DIE BIRD" Eralin shouts as he swats at Romulus while firing a fireball through the other.

[AmberVael]

((I know the pain. Oh wait, no I don't, because I got that kickass job which I gloat about all the time. :wink: Hope time flies for you!))

Maal nods and turns to watch the demon warily.

[Nevrmore]

Whoopee, my first arrest gets to be a shapeshifting dumbass.

Hawk watches the back of Eralin as he shoots a fireball towards his enemy.

"That constitutes assault, you know."

[Romulus]

Romulus sidesteps the swat and looks at the fireball, which turns to water and vanishes as it evaporates.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin slowly freaks his head towards the cop ". . . shut up" He says as he swings his powerfull fist at the cop, attempting to knock him down as he swings with his other arm.

[Cathrindir]

Cathrindir takes a sip of his drink and watches the fight with a raised eyebrow.

[Deadly]

Deadly sips the last of his wine and disappears in a swirl of black flames.

[Kenyon]

Phil glares at Maal, while the other Marshals watch the after-after-fight-fight amusedly.

[Kyrian]

after-after-fight-fight

((I'm so glad I'm not drinking anything at this point))

[Nevrmore]

Oh ye gods, no! Hawk, a mere mortal with no extra-planetary powers whatsoever, is sure to be crushed by the ogres oncoming fist.

There's a loud sound like that of somebody splitting their face with a baseball bat. Hawk's arm, assumed at a ninety degree angle to his body, stops the ogre's fist dead in its tracks. A red aura surrounds the officer's body.

"I use to be a marshal, dumbass." He says, throwing the arm backwards. "Now are you going to come easily or do I have to kick your super powers in the nuts and drag you to the station?"

[AmberVael]

Maal watches Phil amusedly.
What, jealous?

[Carrion_Humanoid]

"IM A DEMON, BITCH!" Eralin Yells as two more arms sprout from his body. He brings down all four arms down on the cop.

[Gemini]

A doppelganger of gemini appears. he nods at Cathrindir and Romulus. He notices the demon and walks up to it. "Sc'use' me, what on earth are you doing?"

[Romulus]

"I'll see you later, dumbass"

Romulus grins as he vanishes, though an image of him stays standing in the same place.

[Deadly]

Ilias steps through the mirror and looks around Nothing ever changes, I see. he says and walks up to the bar A tripple Djinn & Tonic, please. he says to Paige and sits down.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn walks in
Oi,Romulus,gui...
He sees the demon
When that get here?anyway the guild master says well done on the mission...um,if you need my help I'll be at the bar
He goes to the bar and gets an ale

[Nevrmore]

Hawk drops to the ground, tumbling backwards. The four arms crash into the floor, issuing forth a deep noise reminiscent of thunder striking. The officer tumbles to his feet.

"Then call me the demonslayer." He says, rising. He pulls out his gun, pointing it at Eralin. "Now, put your" He takes a moment to count, "Four hands behind your back and we can all go peacefully. Lord knows I don't want this to devolve into some cliche barfight." He pulls down the hammer.

[Gemini]

The doppelganger pulls out his sword. "Hey, officer, I'm with Heaven's Exiles. We have a strong contract with the station. Looks like you need some help." The doppelganger advances on the demon.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin catches the bullet in his palm and pulls out three, ogre sized, revolvers "Then call me the Demon-Slayer. . Slayer!" He shouts as he fires a barrage of bullets at the cop.

[Kyrian]

Kyrian's player yawns at the show of stupidity. He gets ready to leave.

[Gemini]

The doppelganger jumps in front of the bullets, the connect with it, but they just get absorbed into its body. "Is that the best you can do?"

[Nevrmore]

"What are you, deaf?" Hawk queries as the bullets bounce off the red aura surrounding his body, "Marshal." He says, pulling the trigger thrice in succession.

This aura won't last me much longer... He thinks to himself, turning to the doppelganger.

"Sure, why not?" He grins.

[Deadly]

Ilias sighs and sips his drink I've been away for too long... he thinks and looks around to see who's there and not fighting.

[AmberVael]

Maal yawns and looks back at his spellbook, still waiting for Phil to respond.
He probably can't think of a retort.

[Gemini]

The doppelganger throws his sword up in the air, it continues to spin while he fades. The doppelganger reappears behind the demon and jumps on its back. The sword then flys toward the demon, and the doppelganger jumps up into the air, catching the sword as it flys back around. He lands, then casts a spell on the demon to turn it into stone.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

Eralin spins in circles, his sharp claws piercing the air and making a loud whistling sound "I like to call this the, TORNADO OF BLADES!" Eralin starts spinning so fast he starts to look like a top, and he inches closer too the cop, his arms spinning around, skipping the forth arm.

[Gemini]

The doppelganger slices at all of the demon's swinging arms, trying to sever them.

((We should continue the fight later. I must get off now.))

[Nevrmore]

((Simu-post))

Hawk exhausts the rest of his ammunition into the demon's gut. He pulls the pole strapped to his back out, revealing them to be twin blades.

"Is this a sword fight or a retarded dancing session?" He quips, crouching into stance.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

"Niether!" Eralin says as he fires a clip incinerary rounds at the cop before stopping, and clawing down at the cop.

[Deadly]

Ilias sighs and starts shaping tiny balls of lightning and letting them circle around his drink.

[AmberVael]

Maal becomes very uncomfortable with all the fire around him, and searches through his spells for something that will help.
Thats what I really need to develop. A spell that negates fire.

[Nevrmore]

Hawk shrugs off the rounds, but the fire scorches his skin.

"Ahhh! Dammit!" He stumbles onto his ass as Eralin throws his fists at him. Hawk thrusts his swords upwards, skewering the demon's hands.

[Deadly]

Ilias winces at the fire, even though it didn't get anywhere near him, and lets the balls of lightning fade away. This place needs more bouncers. he mutters to himself and looks around for any iron bars.

[AmberVael]

Maal, finding nothing better to use, casts Antimagic Field and lets it settle over himself.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

"DAMAGE RESISTANCE, BITCH!" Eralin yells as he lifts his hands and pounds down on the cop again.

[Hoseki]

Ilias notices a certain sullen looking iron bar tucked among the bottles of Spoonake Chablis.

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex appears in a swirl of fire by the bar, he sits down and summons a lager.

[AmberVael]

((I get this feeling that Hoseki is a +20 Keen Vorpal crowbar, despite the fact that shouldn't work))

Maal shifts his gaze to Alex.
Why is there so much fire here?

[Deadly]

Ilias gets distracted by Alex' fiery appearance and sighs.

((+60, IIRC))

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex raises an eyebrow at Maal and shrugs. He sips his drink.

[Hoseki]

((Try +60 Acidic Blast Anarchic Power Axiomatic Power Distant Shot Dread Everything Everdancing Fiery Blast Holy Power Icy Blast Lightning Blast Mighty Disruption Sonic Blast Unerring Accuracy Unholy Power Defending Ghost Touch Keen Merciful Mighty Cleaving Speed Spell Storing Vorpal Wounding crowbar.))

[Nevrmore]

Hawk flips his swords in his hands, thrusting the pommels into Eralin's fists. He forces the hands backwards, rising to his feet. His aura shifts from red to yellow.

In a flash, he disappears, reappearing clinging to the demon's monstrous back.

"That's Speed." He says as he sinks his swords between the monster's shoulder blades.

[AmberVael]

((That was thought, not telepathy))
((Really? What about all the Psionic weapon abilities? :biggrin:))

Maal wonders how long it would take him to make his antifire spell. Its certainly getting higher and higher on his list.

[Hoseki]

((Dang! I forgot about them. :biggrin:))

[Alex Shipmaster]

((I thought so, but wasn't sure and I didn't want to ignore your post. The shrug was at the probable inner monologue question by Maal))

[Carrion_Humanoid]

"These are SPIKES!" Eralin yells as he clenches his fists and many spikes erect from his back and arms.

[AmberVael]

((I try and make it clear when I use telepathy. I do inner monologues alot though, so I can understand your confusion))
((Geez Hoseki! Why can't you keep up with this stuff? :wink:))

Maal wonders if his antimagic field will be enough to protect him.

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex sighs and takes a gulp out of his drink "Too much stupid"

((when you use italics it can get confusing, a while back I had two characters that spoke in italics until it was ruled that italics meant telepathy))

[Nevrmore]

Hawk disappears again, catching only scratches. He reappears in front of the demon, both swords to his neck in a scissor-like position.

"These are swords." He says smugly.

"Now give up and you can be on your way in a day or two, tops."

[Deadly]

((*shudders*

Oh, and thanks for citing Swinburne :)))

Ilias sips his drink thoughtfully.

[Kenyon]

The Marshals continue to stand, impressed they've stood through all this without even getting singed.

Then their creator comes back to his computer from an impromptu meeting.

"Dammit."

The Marshals kick a table over to use as a shield, and proceed to hide behind it.

[AmberVael]

Too much stupid? Is proper wording offensive to you? Or is 'stupid' a name you have given something?
Maal's keen, elven-like ears obviously picked up on Alex's whisper.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

The demons eyes stare at you angrily, and then shift to a light blue. The spikes recead and the horns recead as well. The skin changes back to a light tan and Eralin falls on the floor, burning, but his clothes seemed to survive the encounter.

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex smiles at Maal "It's just a phrase that's used by a certain person when this sort of thing occurs" he gestures to the fight

[Nevrmore]

Hawk picks Eralin up by the collar, turning to the patrons.

"Sorry for this display of patented retardation, folks. Enjoy your night." He uses the benefit of the speed aura to fly away and to the police station.

((Head to the police station thread, Eralin))

[Hoseki]

((Updated Hoseki!

Activiating all her abilities that need activation is a swift action.))

[AmberVael]

Ah. I suppose that makes sense.
He glares at the combatants.
Personally I wish they would at least keep their fights somewhere else.
((:biggrin: Do you have to take the Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Hoseki) feat to wield the crowbar without penalty?))

[Kenyon]

Rex glances over at Maal, while Silver fixes the table. "Hey, gives ya somethin' to watch, right?"

Phil continues to glare at Maal.

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex's voice turns very grim "Personally I wish that fights kept away from my family at the current moment."

[AmberVael]

Its such a waste!
Maal gestures to the area where it had taken place, at all the dead NPCs and broken items.
He smirks at Phil.
I'm sorry. I know that some people just don't have the ability to do that sort of thing correctly.

[Deadly]

Ilias orders a new drink and a brownie and looks around the tavern again.

[Nevrmore]

((Dude, Carrion TOTALLY started it and you know it.))

[Kenyon]

Rex looks at the death and destruction, and lets out a 'hmph'. "Eh, I've seen worse bar fights."

Phil finally opens his mouth after an hour of glaring. It's amazing his face didn't stick that way. "You oughtta keep your damn mouth shut, you filthy bastard, before I shut it for you!"

Vinnie grabs Phil and shakes him a bit. "Dammit, Phil, now's not the time for this! Keep your damn head in check, son!"

[AmberVael]

((Doesn't prevent Maal from complaining about the fight in general. He isn't placing the blame on you, he is just hating the fact that the fight happened))

Maal grins at Phil.
Oh my. Someone doesn't like his flaws getting pointed out.

[Kenyon]

Phil pulls out his pistol, and aims at Maal. "Only flaw I see here is the big red one fixin' to be right between your eyes, boy!"

"Silver, hold 'im!"

Silver grunts, and puts Phil into a full nelson, proceeding to slam him down onto the recently-fixed table.

"Let me go, dammit! He insulted me! He's askin' for an ass-whuppin'! Lemme att'im!"

[AmberVael]

Maal shakes his head.
You're not even cultured enough to solve this in a way besides violence. No wonder you have no luck.
He drops his antimagic field and calls a certain Invocation to mind.
Invisibility is always handy...

[Kyrian]

((At least the fight is finally over))

[Deadly]

Ilias downs his drink and disappears in a gust of wind

[wxdruid]

Cassandra walks back into the Tavern and looks around.

[wxdruid]

Alena walks downstairs, keeping her wings close to avoid the walls, she walks outside.

[AmberVael]

Maal smiles up at Cassandra.
Hello.

[wxdruid]

Hello Maal, Cassandra walks over and sits next to him, How was your day?

[AmberVael]

Interesting. Watched a fight in the bar.

[wxdruid]

Really? Anything interesting done?

[AmberVael]

I was more concerned with avoiding the fire than watching.

[wxdruid]

Well, that could be a problem. I see you managed to avoid it, you're still in one piece.

[AmberVael]

I did, though I had to go to my shadow plane for a while.
He sighs and closes his spellbook.

[wxdruid]

Yes, anything else interesting?

[AmberVael]

Not especially. Some man nearly attacked me for insulting him a little. Fool.
Maal chuckles.

[wxdruid]

Definitely a fool. Met up with Aesa earlier and learned a little more about Seid. That discipline will take a long time.

[Shujaa]

"Hail, all," a blue-green skinned lizardman greets, with a small nod, as he steps through the door. "Water, please," he says to the bartender, and takes a seat on the barstool, showing exceptional grace as he folds both legs under him and balances on the stool's small surface. He is dressed only in rags, and a thin, nonmagical walking stick rests against the bar to his right side.

[AmberVael]

Thats why I prefer my magic sometimes. Its far simpler.
Maal nods to the lizardman.

[wxdruid]

Cassandra smiles, Nothing wrong with either way, I just like to learn and gain knowledge and power.

[AmberVael]

Well you're certainly doing that.
Maal traces one of her slightly pointed ears.

[Hoseki]

Slowly, Hoseki reforms behind the bar. She seems vaguely irritated about something.

((Must... Resist... Urge... To... Create... Another... Character!))

[wxdruid]

Cassandra's smile changes to a grin, Yes, ever more and onward I go.

[AmberVael]

((I know the pain, Hoseki. I'm sure you cnn tell))

Maal slowly smiles.
Yes you are. You're making me wonder how much more I can give you before I start running out of obvious choices.

[wxdruid]

I'll be perfectly happy to scribe spells into my spellbook, that by itself will take a while.

[Kenyon]

The Marshals have settled down and are currently enjoying a beer. A random NPC enters the tavern, and whispers into Rex's ear.

"Really? No foolin'? You better not be pullin' my leg, son."

The NPC shakes his head, and runs off.

"What'd he say?"

"Kenyon's at his shop right now. They're 'pparently preparin' for an attack against us."

"Does that mean...?"

"You know it, Vinnie. Grab your guns, boys. It's go time."

The Marshals start hooting and hollering, as they grab their weapons and run out the tavern door.

[Hoseki]

((Really? Doesn't seem like you ever resisted the urge... (I kid, I kid.)))

Hoseki glares at her player for thinking of neglecting her even more and steals her frozen waffle.

[AmberVael]

((I have resisted, I just have never succeeded. No wait, I did once))

Maal nods.
That would work. But what then, hm?
He reaches his other hand to the other side of her head, then begins gently massaging.

[wxdruid]

Cassandra rolls her head forward, as he massages, I need to practice my current new abilities as well, until they become second nature to me.

[AmberVael]

Work work work... but you enjoy it, don't you?
Maal continues his massaging, moving his fingers ever so slightly.

[wxdruid]

Oh yes, every moment of it.

[AmberVael]

Hmm. You know, I probably could have answered that myself.
Maal chuckles a little.

[wxdruid]

Oh, probably, You already know what I like.

[AmberVael]

Indeed I do.
Maal grins to himself and places his palms flat on the sides of her head. The bond of their shared magic flares and grows as he focuses on it.

[wxdruid]

mmmmmm, that feels good.

[AmberVael]

Maal slides one hand off of her face, but cups the other and strokes her hair. The magic dies back to normal.
It does.
He wonders if he could find a way to increase their bond a little more with a permanent effect.

[wxdruid]

Thinking of doing anything tonight?

[AmberVael]

Not really. Do you have something in mind?

[wxdruid]

No, nothing in particular, maybe enjoy a glass of wine, watch the other idiots around here, you know....

[AmberVael]

Maal chuckles and waves Cosmo over.
A Black Shadow, if you will. And...?
He looks at Cassandra.

[wxdruid]

A funky llama please.

[AmberVael]

Cosmo scowls and walks off, and Maal considers him for a moment.
I think someone needs a little more cheer...

[wxdruid]

Cassandra smirks, I think he has to many children to be cheerful.

[AmberVael]

Oh but magic can cheer everyone up...
Maal grins mischeviously.

[wxdruid]

Her smile turns sly, Oh really.....

[Hoseki]

Hoseki scowls at the pair. "No casting spells on the staff."

((Gah... Must resist... failing...))

[AmberVael]

Maal gives Hoseki a hurt look.
Its only for the best. Poor Cosmo here could use some cheer, I think.
Cosmo scowls at him and drops their drinks on the tables, then takes the money from Maal and walks back to the bar.

[wxdruid]

Cassandra sips her wine and considers as she watches Cosmo walk back.

[Hoseki]

"Nevertheless, it is against the rules." Her ear flicks in irritation.

[AmberVael]

Maal sighs.
Well if its the rules.
He seems to take that quite seriously.

[wxdruid]

Cassandra pulls out her notebook and starts to write.

[AmberVael]

Maal opens his spellbook.
What spell was it I was thinking of though?

[wxdruid]

She looks over, I'd say Charm or Suggestion. I think if you could cast Suggestion with a condition on it, that would be even better.

[AmberVael]

Perhaps so.
Maal ponders the issue.

[wxdruid]

You don't want anything overt, but you want to barely notice it and for him to not notice it at all.

[AmberVael]

Right, right.
Maal seems preoccupied.
But its not a direct spell... what if I made a spell that simply made people happy?

[wxdruid]

That would be interesting, how does it work?

[AmberVael]

I haven't made it yet, and haven't tried to. Hm hm hm.
Maal taps his fingers along the table.
I think I could do it though...

[wxdruid]

Oh, how do you plan to do it?

[AmberVael]

Well it would still be a mind affecting spell, of course. It could be a modification of suggestion, perhaps, that suggested they do what they wanted. Within reason, of course.
But I would like to make a spell that simple induced euphoria.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Svadris and Thud come downstairs.

[wxdruid]

I think that spell might become addictive.

[AmberVael]

It probably would. At the very least you would want to decrease the amount of happiness it could give.

[wxdruid]

Cassandra chuckles, just modify it and feed it to your army, they'll be yours for life...or death.

[AmberVael]

Maal grins and nods.
Or anyone for that matter.

[wxdruid]

Yes...exactly.

[AmberVael]

I think I like this idea...
Maal contemplates the possibilities.

[wxdruid]

Yes, they will want to serve you because only you can grant more of what they so desperately want.

[AmberVael]

Maal grins at her.

[Shujaa]

"Many would resist," the lizard man says, breaking his long silence. "Through strength of will or that bizarre cumpulsion some have to be unhappy."

[Lord Iames Osari]

Or simple immunity to such things, Svadris puts in.

[AmberVael]

Many, but not most. Besides, who said I would use it on the unwilling?

[wxdruid]

Cassandra ignores the outside input and starts writing in her notebook.

[Shujaa]

"I was just referring to the army," Slaeriss explains, "Then again, very little holds armies together well and for any length of time, this would very likely work better than most motivation.

[AmberVael]

I would not want an army anyways. People have other uses than killing and dying.
He smiles at Cassandra as he speaks.

[wxdruid]

Cassandra feels his smile and looks up to smile back at him. Yes, they do.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Svadris shrugs and wonders if Paige is on duty. She is. Ah, Paige. Get me an Ichor Liquor. Thud will have a Rustbucket.

[AmberVael]

Maal grins and puts an arm around her.
I'm sure I can find other uses for such a spell.

[wxdruid]

Cassandra looks at him with wide unbelieving eyes, Oh really? You can? Will you tell me or leave me guessing? as she leans against him.

[Shujaa]

"Much better uses," Slaeriss agrees with a nod.

[AmberVael]

I don't think I need that spell for you.
Maal grins as he lets their magic bond strengthen again.

[wxdruid]

Cassandra laughs delightedly. I don't think so either, you have quite enough omph already.

[Rainspattered]

I'm sure I can find other uses for such a spell.
"I once made the same claim, referring to an Enlargement spell," Ra'Tiel said wistfully, noting the silver stubble growing on his blue-black chin.

[AmberVael]

Maal chuckles at Ra'Tiel.
Well yes, but my spell would be used exactly the same way as normal, just for a different purpose. I'm not going to change the actual effect, I'm just going to use it to achieve a different end.
He strokes Cassandra's hair.

[Lord Iames Osari]

((Oh hey, Aercath is wanted in the big trial. Go, post there.))

Paige delivers Svadris and Thud their drinks.

[wxdruid]

Cassandra smiles and starts writing in her notebook again.

[Rainspattered]

((Oh, dear lord, did I remember to tell anyone I was going to Thailand for a month?))
"Ah, the glories of Wizardry. One of the few gems of life that kept from embracing death when it came. That and brandy. Speaking of which, bartender?"

[AmberVael]

Maal traces Cassandra's ear again, smiling to himself.
Oh I've done well.
Wizardry is a handy tool.

[wxdruid]

Cassandra lightly shivers in response but doesn't look up from her notebook.

[AmberVael]

Maal decides not to disturb her. Much. He gently runs a hand up and down her back.

[Lord Iames Osari]

((Oh, dear lord, did I remember to tell anyone I was going to Thailand for a month?))

((Nope, not a one))

[wxdruid]

Cassandra finishes the sentence, Yes, Maal, something on your mind? Are you being male again? I can feel it in your touch.

[AmberVael]

Maal chuckles and settles his arm around her shoulders.
Maybe a little.

[Rainspattered]

(Well, not telling people on an online RP board isn't quite as bad as not telling my girlfriend, but still disheartening.))

"Being male!" Ra'Tiel laughs, "A prince among euphemisms." he declares.

[wxdruid]

Cassandra finishes her wine, smiles and puts her head on his shoulder.

[AmberVael]

Maal nods in agreement with Ra'Tiel, then looks Cassandra.
What, you don't want to get started on my spellbook?
Maal grins at her.
You'd rather me 'be male' for a bit?"

[wxdruid]

Cassandra jabs him in the ribs, I think tomorrow morning will be soon enough to start on my spellbook.

[AmberVael]

Maal grins wider.
Is that a yes?

[wxdruid]

Cassandra smiles, Why, yes, I guess it is a yes. I need to sleep soundly so I wake up well rested, there's one sure way to get a good night's sleep.

[AmberVael]

Maal lets his arm slip down hers until he is holding her hand (I love that dance move) and then stands.
Lets go then.

[Rainspattered]

"Ah, being male goes on the list with Brandy and Wizardry," Ra'Tiel noted.

[wxdruid]

Cassandra holds his hand lightly as she stands, she lets him lead her up the stairs.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Svadris and Thud finish their drinks and go back upstairs.

[AmberVael]

Maal gives Ra'Tiel a final chuckle before he vanishes upstairs.

[Rainspattered]

As the tavern empties out, Ra'Tiel teleports away.

[wxdruid]

Alena walks in and not seeing anyone awake she heads upstairs.

[wxdruid]

Alena walks downstairs, she notices a distinct lack of patrons and decides the quiet time was meant for her. She takes her concert harp out of the bag and settles on a stool. She leans it against herself and starts to play, expressing her sadness and wish that Jovah would hear her prayers.

((sorry about the double post))

[wxdruid]

Tehanu walks in and sits at the bar, ordering a black shadow. The bartender brings it over and she sips it and listens to the sad music, feeling about the same as the angel playing the harp.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Mourn stretches his arms and orders another ale,and wishes the music was more lively.

[wxdruid]

Alena slowly changes to a more lively tune.

[wxdruid]

Tehanu sighs and finishes her drink, she leaves the Tavern.

[wxdruid]

Alena sighs and finishes the current song, she rebags her harp and heads outside.

[Wukei]

http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y262/Wukei/Lucien001.jpg

A young man with a tail and silver and red hair steps in, removing his tricornered cap. He looks around and grins a fanged grin.

Beware, Mortals, for I am your doom!

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

A dark robed tiefling walks in and gazes around,sees the amount of non-wizards and snickers,walks to the bar and orders a glass of the inns finest wine

[Wukei]

He looks around and sighs. How boring... What does she see in this town? He puts on a pair of glasses and looks around. He lowers them with one finger to the tip of his nose and takes another look. Nope, still not seeing it.

[Deadly]

Deadly appears in a ring of black flames and hops up on a barstool One glass of wine, my gnomish friend. he grins to Cosmo and throws the gnome some coins before looking around

[Wukei]

The demon sees the racoon and grins. Unholy bejeebus! A talking animal!

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethosts galnces towards Deadly and says

Wow,i see that there at least two competent arcane users with in this sorry exuse for a tavern
he raises his glass to deadly

[Deadly]

((Save me Jebus! :smallbiggrin:))

Deadly nods politely at Tethosts and turns to the demon Greetings, haven't seen you around here before, but then again, I haven't been here a lot lately. he hops down from his stool, grabs his wine and hops over to the demon, extending a paw I'm Deadly.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost shakes deadlys paw
Yes,I am new to this...town,I came seeking to expand my power,what bring s you here?

[Wukei]

He shakes the racoon's paw. Mikhail. Though I also go by Pyotr and Nicholae. As well as Sexy, Hot Stuff, and Good Looking. He winks a silver eye.

[Deadly]

Deadly sees that he's in a bit of a tight spot and needs to be in two places at once, so he splits up, literally

To Tethosts Originally? I came here because some hunters were killing a few too many raccoons in the woods outside this town... then, after that, I just stayed for the atmosphere.

To Mikhail Nice. I've always wondered how it is like to have more than one name. So, what brings you here?

[Wukei]

He swishes his tail back and forth, glaring at the other one for obviously stealing his thunder. Captain Wukei Shipmaster. I heard she'd settled down here. I wanted proof. After all, I bet quite a bit that she hadn't.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

How does a raccoon come by such power?

[Deadly]

Deadly shrugs Wukei? The name rings a bell, but I'm not sure I've met her. I've heard so many names in this place, hard to keep track of them all. But if she's a captain, I bet you can find her at the docks.

He grins at Tethosts That comes with being the raccoonish god of death. It's nice sometimes.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Svadris and Thud come downstairs and go out.

[Wukei]

He laughs, No, no...I've found her office...can you believe it? A pirate captain with an office!

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Raccoons have their own pantheon,how...interesting
I personally dont have any god to follow, and i dont need one,my arcane might is great enough,great god of raccoonish death!

[Deadly]

Deadly raises an eybrow An office? Maybe it's a cover.

and sips his wine A lot of people say that.

[Wukei]

He nods, grinning, Exactly what I was thinking. A pirate doesn't go straight. He wags his tail, Some of us in more ways than one.

[Gemini]

The doppelganger laughs and disappears.

[Deadly]

Deadly grins Ah... so do you plan on exposing her?

[Wukei]

He claps his hands, happily. What a completely malicious idea...but why expose her when I could make more from blackmailing her to not expose her?

[Deadly]

Deadly tilts his head Well, I would say that's taking it too far... but I guess it's what pirates do.

[Wukei]

He grins happily and orders some spiced rum.

[Gorbad the Limb Rippa]

Tethost nods goodbye to deadly,pays his bill and leaves

Mourn gets up,throws down a couple of gold peices and leaves

[Deadly]

Deadly's two halves fall over dead and a new, whole Deadly reforms at the bar A muffin, Cosmo. he grins and sips his wine

[Wukei]

Oh, Nifty! He pokes the deceased Deadly he was speaking to.

[Deadly]

Deadly nods with a grin Indeed. Saves me a lot of healing.

[Wukei]

He grins charmingly, I wish I were that lucky.

[Deadly]

He shrugs and takes a bite of his muffin. Well, most people seem to get by just fine without it.

[Wukei]

He grins, Yes, but it looks like so much fun!

[Deadly]

Deadly looks down at his two dead halves and smiles True enough. Perhaps some wizard or something could come up with a spell that could do it for you.

[Wukei]

He swishes his tail. Ohhhhh....I must find one...imagine the fun at parties!

[Deadly]

Deadly chuckles Oh yeah, never fails to freak out people... well, anywhere but here, that is.

[Wukei]

He raises an eyebrow, Really? I knew this place looked boring!

[DarkSetzer]

Randall walks in, sits, and orders a pint of ale.

[Deadly]

Not boring, just... unusual. Lots of crazy things happen here. he grins

[Wukei]

He pouts. I sure hope something happens soon. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure I wasted a trip.

[DarkSetzer]

Randall downs his ale, then hops up on a table, speaking to everyone in the room "I dont suppose any of you are interested in joining a guild? No? Didnt think so..." He jumps down and leaves the building.

[Deadly]

I'll bet something's going to happen soon enough. I could use a little fun.

He raises an eyebrow at Randall

[Wukei]

He follows suit. So...do people often not allow you to answer before they leave?

[wxdruid]

Alena trudges into the tavern, her wings hanging limply behind her. They brush the doorframe as she walks in. She sits on a stool at the bar and brings her wings around her. She puts her arms on the bar and puts her head down.

[Deadly]

I don't think so... he shrugs and orders a new glass of wine

[Wukei]

The demon sees the winged woman and makes a face of slight concern. He finishes off his drink and licks his lips.

[wxdruid]

Alena hides her face in her arms, her wings twitch as she tries to control her emotions

[Wukei]

He reaches over and places a soft hand on her shoulder, expertly avoiding her wings. Hey, uh...lady?

[Deadly]

Deadly looks up from his wine

[wxdruid]

please, please leave me alone

[Wukei]

He shrugs, Hey...women don't do anything for me anyway...not like it bugs me any. He orders another rum, turning away from the girl as she asked.

[wxdruid]

Alena brings her wings closer around herself as the muffled sound of crying starts.

[Cathrindir]

Cathrindir enters the Tavern. He looks around and sighs before taking a seat at the bar. "I'll have a White Russian, Cosmo."

[wxdruid]

Keeping her wings around her, Alena finally gets up and runs upstairs.

[Deadly]

Deadly downs the last of his wine and bows to the demon before disappearing in a circle of black flames.

[McBish]

Lillah walks inside using her cane to guide her she finds a table by the fireplace and sits down.

[Wukei]

Mikhail seems interested in Lillah. Not the type of interested a slobbering letch would be, but by the fact that she seems to be using the cane to guide her. He gets up, holding his bottle of rum, and moves closer to her, though not "my personal bubble" popping close.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Iames comes in, arm in arm with Aerin. Hello, Lillah. Cosmo, two hot chocolates, please. And two bamhacon sandwiches.

[McBish]

Lillah waves to Iames and hears someone approch her. Hello?

[Wukei]

Hi! He grins happily. Never having seen a blind person, nor never having heard of one, he doesn't seem to understand the concept of it. What's with the stick?

[Lord Iames Osari]

Aerin guides Iames to a table, where they sit down.
