Trog's Tavern CXXXX

[Miatog]

Miatog walks into the Tavern. He looks around and sees that nobody from last night has shown up yet. “They had better get here soon…”

[darnin]

Darnin wakes up and notices Miatog.
Hey.

[Lord Magtok]

Agent Omega comes out of a coma.

Fell asleep in the tavern again... Why do I feel as if I fell unconscious right before an "end of the world announcement" happened here last night?

[Miatog]

“Darnin, glad to see you here. Ready to fight the Nameless? I brought you something to help.” Miatog reaches into his robe and pulls out a simple bag that he hands then hands to Darnin.. “This bag will create a knife of what ever energy type you’re thinking of when you reach into it. It should last right close to forever, so long as it doesn’t get ripped.”

[Nevrmore]

Floyd walks up to Miatog, "Hey, man, I want presents, too."

[Rebonack]

Regiji begins to be in the tavern, already clad in his armor. He also happens to have no fewer than three large knobby looking creature's that look like a cross between a caterpillar and a gila monster clinging to him. Upon arriving in the room they disembark and take up whatever location looks comfortable. Most involve climbing up on to tables.

"We're fighting Blight?" squeaks the first.

"Sounds that way," replies the second.

"Are you sure these people will be able to wield us right?" asks the third in an uncertain tone.

"If they can't then we can help," the second responds.

"What if their hands are cold? I hate that," the third complains.

"Shush, all three of you," Regiji barks. The three lizardy looking creatures fall silent.

[darnin]

Darnin takes the knife. Thanks. I'm hoping there are going to be others, correct?

[Lord Magtok]

Agent Omega looks at Regiji. Is there some sort of apocalyptic doom thingy going on?
You seem ready to go to war, with those guys and that armor.

[Miatog]

[]it’s a bag that makes knives.[]

“I hope so Darnin, there were a handful that said they were going to fight last night.”

Miatog looks at Floyd. “That was to help fight against the Nameless. Fight with us against the Nameless and I’ll give you something that will help you fight them.”

Miatog then faces Agent Omega. “I did give a ‘you’re all doomed’ message last night. There is an entity called the Nameless that consumes worlds. It is gathering power over in the mountains and I’m trying to get a group together to fight them.”

At Miatog walks over to Regiji. “Glad to see you made it. And you brought more troops, who are these?”

[wxdruid]

Alena walks downstairs, she folds her wings tightly against her back as she makes her way over to the bar.

[Lord Magtok]

Thoughts:World consuming super monster thing? Where have I heard that before?

To Miatog: You don't suppose a non-magic user would be able to help, would you?

[darnin]

((Heh, yeah, I meant to say bag. >_>))

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex follows Alena downstairs and looks around the tavern briefly. He then walks over to the bar.

[wxdruid]

She smiles and sits down, holding out one hand for him. She giggles, Do you think they have any more muffins?

[Rebonack]

"Troops? No, we're PPRs for infantry use," the second bug-lizard pipes up.

"We've got a disrupter function that makes the Blight fall apart, too," the first adds.

"They're weapons," Regiji explains. "I figured the magic users might need something to fall back on. This was the best I could do on short notice."

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex takes her hand, and sits next to her. He mock groans and rests his head on her shoulder "Keep this up and I'll start to believe I wasn't joking the other night"

[Miatog]

“Wow, daja-vue.”

A trio all dressed in black leather get up and run out of Trog’s. One of the NPC’s suddenly turns into a man in a business suit with sunglasses and chases after them.

[]yay for repeat double post!

Ah, you removed you other post.[]

“That was odd…oh well. Good thinking, I’ll be fine though, I have some energy weapons I’ve kept on hand in case I fight you. I’ve changed it around now that It has shown up, but I’ll be fine.”

Miatog turns to Omega. “So long as you have energy weapons. Are you used to guns? I can lone you some of my hi-tech weapons if that’s the case.”

[wxdruid]

She runs her fingers through his hair and in a teasing voice says, Don't blame me, you're the one that started it.....

[Chaotic Bob]

Tirre wakes up with a start at his table.
What about world eating monsters?

[Alex Shipmaster]

"I wish I hadn't now, you're gonna keep on teasing me for pulling that lame joke on you"

[wxdruid]

Hm, I think you deserve a little bit of teasing.

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex shrugs "Well, for that, yeah." he smiles at Alena "Drink for you, my lady?"

[Rebonack]

One of the knobby lizard-bugs skitters up onto the bar and begins bobbing up and down to get Alex's attention.

"Hey! Want to help save the world?"

[Chaotic Bob]

I do!
Tirre trips and falls over a chair as he gets up.

[Nevrmore]

Floyd looks quizzically at Miatog, though interested, "I'll help you against this Namless thing, dude....What's its name?"

[Sneak]

Sneak appears. "Greetings, menfolk and gentle ladies, it is I...uh...what's my name, again? God, I gotta remember to stop sniffing that white out before I come here." He grimaces and takes a seat.

[Alex Shipmaster]

One of the knobby lizard-bugs skitters up onto the bar and begins bobbing up and down to get Alex's attention.

"Hey! Want to help save the world?"

Alex looks at the lizard "Didn't know the world was in danger, I think a prerequisite for that is an egotistical, incompetent evil villain"

[darnin]

Darnin looks at Floyd. I think it's Nameless. Haven't I seen you before?

[wxdruid]

I think I'd like another llamanade and a muffin, please.

[Miatog]

“It’s called the Nameless. They are everything and nothing at the same time, Nameless is the best name for them. How are you with energy attacks? That’s what hurts them.”

[Nevrmore]

Floyd looks at darnin, squinting, "Hmmm...don't think so. I would've remembered a mug like that." He turns back to Miatog.

"Energy attacks? Well, see, my guitar here," He pulls his guitar, Atom Heart, from his back. "If I play specific songs on it, different things happen. I'm sure I can think of a couple songs that shoot energy bolts or...something."

((mug = unpleasant looking face))

[Rebonack]

The bug-lizard thinks for a moment.

"No... I'm pretty sure the Blight is a viable threat without being egotistical or incompetent..."

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex nods at Alena and orders a Llamonade, a lager and a muffin from Paige (just for a change) and pays when it arrives. He looks over at Sneak "You're name's Fluffy by the way"

[Chaotic Bob]

Do psychicly enhanced weapons make a difference? If so, my brother and I can be of service. If not I'm sure we can think of something.
He untangles himself from the chair and trips over another one.
Huh, I guess I can get drunk, just with a several hour delay.

[darnin]

Darnin raises an eyebrow at Floyd, not recognizing the term, though his player does. He then chuckles when he hears the name "Fluffy" being used in Sneak's general direction.

[Sneak]

Sneak smirks at Alex. "Hah! Wrong! I know you're lying, because you're...wait, what's your name again? Um...Ah, that's right, Stupid. No, wait...Runt, that's it! The one with the spoonsaber!"

(( Reference cookie. ))

[Alex Shipmaster]

“It’s called the Nameless. They are everything and nothing at the same time, Nameless is the best name for them. How are you with energy attacks? That’s what hurts them.”

"If magic works, I can hit them with virtually anything, except cold, pretty devastingly well. Other than that, I'm pretty able in melee if given the right weapons"

((^ another cookie goes flying over my head :( ))

[wxdruid]

Thank you Alex, she sips her llamanade and munches happily on her muffin.

[wxdruid]

Tehanu walks inside and briefly looks around before heading over to a booth seat and sliding in.

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex smiles at Alena and sips his drink.

[Chaotic Bob]

Tirre staggers back up and carefully avoiding any more chairs makes his way to the bar next to Alex.
...Muffin....
He slides over the bar and begins to hunt for the muffins.

[Lord Magtok]

Agent Omega snaps out of a coma.

To Miatog: I usually use guns, but I have a pair of energy blades if a situation calls for close quarters combat.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Tehanu walks inside and briefly looks around before heading over to a booth seat and sliding in.

Lyrak comes in and goes to join Tehanu.

[Rebonack]

"You mean a slug thrower?" the bug-lizard nearest Omega pipes up. "Why would you use one of those?"

[wxdruid]

Tehanu smiles over at him, "Interested in a drink?"

[McBish]

Eric comes inside and takes a seat in a corner of the bar. He walks with a limp and the leg of his pants seems to have blood on them.

[wxdruid]

Alena lightly squeezes Alex's hand as she finishes her muffin.

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex turns briefly and sees Eric, he tilts his head at his injuries then shrugs and returns to his drink. He smiles and squeezes Alena's hand back "Good muffin?"

[Chaotic Bob]

Tirre looks at Eric's leg after finding the muffin stores.
Did you get into a scrap?
He stuffs several muffins into his cloak and stuffs another one into his mouth.

[McBish]

You could say that yeah. He glances around to see who is around.

[Sneak]

(( Sigh. No one here has read Totally Kotor? But...but...there's a droid that makes ice cream! ))

Sneak yawns.

[wxdruid]

Yes, it is very good.

[Alex Shipmaster]

(( Sigh. No one here has read Totally Kotor? But...but...there's a droid that makes ice cream! ))

Sneak yawns.

((sorry Sneak))

Alex nods at Alena and smiles "Good"

[darnin]

Darnin turns to Miatog. So, about how many people are supposed to be coming?

[Chaotic Bob]

Terre walks in carrying several vials. Upon noticing all the people he stuffs them into a bag and pulls Tirre aside. They start whispering and occasionally a quiet chuckle is heard.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Lyrak nods, apparently distracted by some thought or other. Yes, a Xorn Zinfandel, I think.

[Rebonack]

"At the moment we're waiting for the god of passion to get here. To be honest I have pretty good idea of what he might be doing..."

[wxdruid]

Tehanu waves the waitress over and orders a black shadow and a Xorn Zinfandel. She goes back and brings the drinks over, Tehanu pays and slides the zinfandel over to Lyrak.

[McBish]

Eric pulls out a mostly empty bottle of gin and takes a drink of it.

[Miatog]

Miatog looks around and notices how things have changed. “Have I mentioned lately that I hate non liner time? At any rate, the blades will fine Ogema, how ever if your guns are solely the bullet kind, then you’ll need to borrow one of mine.”

“We’re just waiting for Iames and the lady that was with him last night. Once they show up we’ll be good to go.”

“So Regiji, what does PPR stand for and what do the little guys do?”

[AmberVael]

Jack comes inside, whistling a merry tune to himself and anyone else who wants to hear.

[Nevrmore]

"I'm still here, dude."

[McBish]

Eric sees Floyd and hopes Floyd doesn't remember him due to head trauma.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Lyrak smiles and sips his wine, listening to the conversations around them.

[darnin]

((Is that a bunny peep wielding a buster sword?))

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex shrugs as obviously his help isn't needed when he offered it and turns back to Alena "So what are you planning on doing later?"

[AmberVael]

((Pretty much. :D))
Jack gets a drink and looks around the tavern.

[wxdruid]

Playing? Practice makes perfect.

[wxdruid]

Tehanu watches him and smiles.

[McBish]

((Ok so I have been reading that comic Vael. It is great. I'm up to January 05. I'm adding it to my list of comics.))

[darnin]

((Awesome.))

Darnin decides he has some time and orders a drink.

[Rebonack]

"Plasma Projection Rifle in longhand," one of the PPRs calls out before Regiji can respond. "We blow stuff up with ionized argon compacted around a magnetic core."

[AmberVael]

((Fear the Buster Bunny! (http://www.frozenreality.co.uk/comic/bunny/index.php?id=33) That link is where it came from :D))
Jack looks around, wondering if anyone here could...
He frowns a little at Regiji, feeling every single type of magic he has (which is alot, btw) simply stop before it gets to him.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Lyrak sips his wine again.

[Alex Shipmaster]

Playing? Practice makes perfect.

Alex smiles "Sounds good, well your stuff always does"

[Lord Iames Osari]

A transparent image of Iames appears. I'll be just a bit longer, but I believe I may be able to bring along a couple more allies.

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles at him, I think I need to find a few new pieces to play. She finishes her llamanade.

[wxdruid]

Tehanu lightly touches Lyrak's leg with her foot to get his attention, "Thinking about anything in particular?"

[Miatog]

“Ah, good good. Well seeing how we have time…”

Miatog floats up above every one and to the middle of the room. “I said it last night and I’ll say it again. There is an evil entity that eats worlds on a regular basis. It’s found it’s way to Town and is growing strength in the mountains. Those of you that wish to play hero or fend off boredom, I’ll be next to the bar.”

He floats back down to where he was and orders an Archon Ale.

[AmberVael]

A gate opens, leading from an apparently empty, black space. Aesa steps through, spinning a rod in her hand.

[darnin]

Darnin glances over at the image. Is that the guy who's coming with us?

[Lord Iames Osari]

Lyrak shakes his head. No, not really. He smiles at her.

[AmberVael]

Jack looks over at Miatog and considers.
Eats worlds, huh? How?

[Lord Iames Osari]

Iames's image disappears.

[McBish]

Seeing the image of Iames appear Eric stands up to leave. He grimaces and sits back down. He looks over at Aesa and considers going over but remembers she ignores him.

[wxdruid]

Tehanu smiles back and takes a sip of her black shadow, closing her eyes to enjoy the shiver.

[Nevrmore]

Floyd, annoyed, walks over to Miatog.

"I said I wanted to help, man!"

[Lord Iames Osari]

A portal opens, and Aerin steps out.

[AmberVael]

Aesa walks over towards Aerin, placing her rod in her belt.

[Lord Iames Osari]

“Ah, good good. Well seeing how we have time…”

Miatog floats up above every one and to the middle of the room. “I said it last night and I’ll say it again. There is an evil entity that eats worlds on a regular basis. It’s found it’s way to Town and is growing strength in the mountains. Those of you that wish to play hero or fend off boredom, I’ll be next to the bar.”

He floats back down to where he was and orders an Archon Ale.

Lyrak looks at Tehanu. That sounds serious. I think we should help.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Hello, Aesa. Aerin greets her.

[AmberVael]

Verdandi comes out of the portal after Aerin, one hand on her sword. Aesa nods to Aerin, her face entirely serious for once. Good evening.

[wxdruid]

"If you like, could be a nice diversion."

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex smiles at Alena "I look forwards to the stuff you play" he looks over at Miatog "Excuse me for a minute" he walks over towards him

((and a repost from earlier...))



“It’s called the Nameless. They are everything and nothing at the same time, Nameless is the best name for them. How are you with energy attacks? That’s what hurts them.”
"If magic works, I can hit them with virtually anything, except cold, pretty devastingly well. Other than that, I'm pretty able in melee if given the right weapons"

[Lord Iames Osari]

Iames comes through the portal, and it closes behind him. Good evening, Aesa.

[AmberVael]

Aesa smiles at Iames, though it doesn't reach her eyes. Verdandi watches her a little nervously, glancing back at Iames.

[Miatog]

[]sorry, I must have missed those posts while eating dinner. Give me 1 sec Alex while I edit to respond to you. Lag this time.[]

Miatog faces Floyd. “I’m sorry, I must have missed you in the non liner time. Oh yes, you can cast spells with your music right? That should work fine.”

Miatog turns to Jack. “It converts matter into more of itself and shatters souls that spread through out all of it’s infinite being. Once enough life and mass has been removed, the barrier that separates a realm from it is broken down and the realm is quickly turned into more of it.”

To Alex. “Good good, what kind of weapons do you use? I can grab one that uses energy so you’ll be useful in melee.”

Seeing Iames come in Maitog smiles. “Good, you’ve come. I have found a couple more people to join us, we’ll need all the help we can get.”

[Lord Iames Osari]

Lyrak nods, gets up, and goes over to Miatog. We, he indicates Tehanu and himself, would like to help.

[McBish]

Eric sighs quietly to himself as he sees Iames and Vera come in. He takes another drink of his gin.

[darnin]

((I'm really starting to feel sorry for Miatog, having to keep track of everybody and everything here.))

[AmberVael]

Jack raises an eyebrow.
Sounds like something I don't want to deal with. Count me out.
He sips his drink.

[Rebonack]

((It's my Plot, actually. Miatog is just helping =D))

"Who is going to be wielding us?"

"Whoever needs your help, now shush."

[Lord Iames Osari]

Aesa smiles at Iames, though it doesn't reach her eyes. Verdandi watches her a little nervously, glancing back at Iames.

Iames looks back to her with a reassuring smile.

[Alex Shipmaster]

[]sorry, I must have missed those posts while eating dinner. Give me 1 sec Alex while I edit to respond to you. Lag this time.[]

To Alex. “Good good, what kind of weapons do you use? I can grab one that uses energy so you’ll be useful in melee.”

((no probs))

"I'll be most effective using magic if that works on it, if not I can handle pretty much any weapon, although I prefer to use swords. Any energy or a combination will be good, except I can't really use cold energy."


((I'm really starting to feel sorry for Miatog, having to keep track of everybody and everything here.))

((pretty much like Fenric on busy days in the temple of Inari))

[AmberVael]

Verdandi takes Iames's arm, while Aesa sits down at one of the tables.

[wxdruid]

Tehanu finishes her drink and goes over to Lyrak.

[McBish]

Eric think Jack is right about this one and continues to sit quietly in the corner hoping Iames and Vera don't notice him.

[wxdruid]

Alena watches Alex.

[Chaotic Bob]

The dvati look up from their conversation.
So...does psychic energy imbued weaponry count?
If not we always have the ability to electrically charge our weapons.
They walk back over to the bar watching Aesa warily.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Lyrak looks at Tehanu. How are you with energy-based attacks?

[wxdruid]

"I have a few blast them type spells."

[Lord Iames Osari]

Lyrak nods. Your mindblade might be good for that, too.

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex scoots back over to Alena while he waits for a reply

[Rebonack]

"Hopefully Iames can take apart the dead magic zone they set up shop in fast enough," Regiji comments. "Things will get pretty ugly otherwise..."

"That's what we're for!" chimes in one of the PPRs.

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles over at him, So you're going to help out?

[Lord Iames Osari]

Aerin waits for the word to go, smiling to herself as she is reminded of the brief time she spent in the army. Hurry up and wait, she thinks to herself.

[Chaotic Bob]

Have the critters caused much damage yet?
If they did, I don't like cleaing up messes.

[Miatog]

[] I’m also used to having more then a couple min between posts.

Yeah, Rebonack’s Plot, I’m just the guy that’s fought them before and is recurting everyone for Rebo…HEY! I’m doing all the pre-plot work![]

At this point Miatog decides that it might be best if he splits the tasks up among himself, himself, and himself. He pulls out a dagger made from a ruby, blade and handle. He stabs himself and a new him shows up. He repeats until there’s one of him to talk to each person.

To Jack. “Very well, but know that if they are not stopped now, they will come and shatter your soul later.”

To Lyrak and Tehanu. “I hope that Mindblade isn’t a psychic attack, trust me when I say that that’s the last thing you want to do with the Nameless.”

Miatog vanishes and comes back a minute later with a pair of short swords and a long sword. “Take your pick. The long sword will change elements with your mood, the short swords will use fire and electricity.”

To Dvati. “That is the last thing you want to do, I’d stick with the electricity if I were you.”

To Regiji. “I got a box from the OmniShop that should be able to take care of the dead magic zone if Iames can’t.”

[AmberVael]

Aesa pulls out her rod again and taps her other hand with it, clearly getting bored quickly.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Iames smiles at Vera and brushes her hair from her face.

[Chaotic Bob]

Hmm, why wouldn't we want to do th-
Electricity will be fine sir.

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex smiles at Alena "Yeah I think I should, and if you want to stay here with me I'll still be able to help them in just about as good a way." If the swords are presented to him he takes the short swords and tests their weight and balance

[AmberVael]

Verdandi smiles back at Iames and looks around, her hand still resting on her sword hilt.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Iames looks up. So all psionics are a bad idea, or just telepathy-based powers?

[AmberVael]

To Jack. “Very well, but know that if they are not stopped now, they will come and shatter your soul later.”
Jack shrugs.
You've got enough people, you can take care of them. I know I wouldn't be able to stand up against someone who can just eat my soul.

[Rebonack]

"I think it's safe to say that trying to use telepathy against something that has an effectively infinite mind would be a bad idea in general," Regiji comments.

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles, I'll be fine, go use all of your abilities to stop this thing.

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex tilts her head at Alena "Are you sure?"

[Lord Iames Osari]

"I think it's safe to say that trying to use telepathy against something that has an effectively infinite mind would be a bad idea in general," Regiji comments.

Well, obviously, but I use psionic power to produce my energy attacks, and from what Miatog seems to be saying, any kind of psychic energy, telepathic or not, is a bad idea.

[Lykan]

A tall, gaunt figure enters the bar, sitting down at an empty table. His body is wrapped in strips of cloth and leather, with shaded goggles covering his eyes, giving him a distinct, mummy-like appearence. He orders a beer, and when he recieves it, slips it inbetween his wraps, and tips his head back, draining a good half of the bottle before putting it down again.

[wxdruid]

Yes, I'll be fine, I'll practice after the Tavern empties out and then I'll be upstairs waiting when you come back.

[Chaotic Bob]

The dvati watch the newcomer with curiosity. Tirre slips a muffin out of his cloak and eats it.

[McBish]

Eric sits back and waits for all these people to leave.

McBish and Natalie come in through the mirror they take a seat at the bar and look over the group gathered.

[Miatog]

To Jack. “We can never have enough against the Nameless. But, if that is your decision…” That Miatog pulls the ruby dagger back out and hits himself on the head with the handle. He splits up into equal pats and flows into the other Miatog’s.

To Alex. “Will those work well enough for you?”

[AmberVael]

Verdandi sits down next to Aesa cautiously, while Aesa looks over at the newcomer.
((If you want me to help you with this, you had best get it started soon. Knowing fights, this will take a while, and I cannot stay up too long.))

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex nods at Alena and waves to McBish and Natalie

((^^ I edited a post a one or two pages back, Alex took the short swords))

[AmberVael]

Jack rolls his eyes and finishes off his drink. He walks back out into the streets.

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles and waves at McBish and Natalie, happy to see them.

[McBish]

McBish seems paler than usual, both he and Natalie wave to Alena and Alex.

[Lykan]

The "newcomer" returns Aesa's stare, event though his eyes aren't visible, it's quite obvious he is facing the black-winged woman

[Miatog]

[]fixxed my last post in responce to yours Alex.[]

[Rebonack]

"With your deific powers I don't think it will matter," Regiji comments. "I think we need to get going, it's already getting dark again."

He turns and leaves the tavern and heads off towards the Mountains (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1918394#post1918394), the three lizard-bugs following him.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Well, obviously, but I use psionic power to produce my energy attacks, and from what Miatog seems to be saying, any kind of psychic energy, telepathic or not, is a bad idea.

((So, no answer for me?))

[Alex Shipmaster]

((cheers))

Alex nods to Miatog "These'll do just nicely, thank you. Will any magic work against it?"

[AmberVael]

Verdandi and Aesa stand and exit the tavern.

[Chaotic Bob]

Umm, I think that means
that we should leave.
They hop up and rush the door, Tirre trips and gets up and they follow Regiji to the mountains.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Aerin follows Vera and Aesa.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Lyrak follows the crowd.

[wxdruid]

Tehanu goes with Lyrak, following right behind him.

[wxdruid]

Alena kisses Alex before he leaves.

[Lykan]

The man takes another swig of beer, looking around at the remaining patrons.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Iames follows along.

[Alex Shipmaster]

Alex kisses Alena back "I'll be back in a bit, just got to go and kick some ass." he grins at her and leaves

[Miatog]

“About time…” Every Miatog mutters under their breathes. All but the one that was talking to Regiji take out the dagger and hit themselves. They all merge on the one that was talking to Regiji. He then leaves Trog’s and follows Regiji

[darnin]

Darnin notices everyone leaving and follows them.

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles and watches him go, then picks up a stool and moves over to join McBish and Natalie, How are you both tonight?

[McBish]

They shrug. Well I'm not doing all that great. Apparently I have been a little side show for a couple of gods for the past 6 years or so. It does sort of make me feel important though. Natalie takes his hand and squeezes it.

[wxdruid]

That doesn't sound very good, I'm sorry to hear that.

[McBish]

Nah it's ok. It was still my life right? Anyways I'm glad I ran into you tonight, I was wondering if you might do me a favor?

[wxdruid]

Just ask, whatever you need.

[McBish]

Well I overheard you and Alex talking about flying... and well I was wondering if you might take me for a flight?

[wxdruid]

You want to fly? I can do that for you. Daytime would be better though, a lot more to see.

[McBish]

I suppose that would be true. Maybe tommorow we could. I have always sort of dreamed about flying. He smiles at the thought.

[wxdruid]

Alena grins, I love to fly.

[McBish]

I bet. The thought of soaring in the sky... he smiles. "I think you guys are crazy. I hate heights." Natalie chimes in.

[wxdruid]

Well I won't do any crazy acrobatics then.

[McBish]

Yeah I'm not sure if I would be up for that. So how are you?

[wxdruid]

Alena grins, I'm doing wonderfully, her smile turns serious, I just wish you two were doing as well.

[McBish]

McBish gives a sad smile at Natalie. Well I'm just glad we got to meet before... "Well maybe if we had meet under better circumstances that would have been nice." They both smile at the thought.

[wxdruid]

Yes. Would you like me to play for you?

[McBish]

((Did you forget the word want?))

Sure that sounds good.

Eric gets up and leaves.

[Takehiko the Marooned]

Rin appears in the bar, her face obscured by her hood. She sits down at an empty table, ordering a DLB.

[wxdruid]

Any special requests?

[McBish]

Not really, anything would be fine. He gives a slight cough and Natalie quickly gets him a glass of water.

[wxdruid]

Alena smiles and scoots back, she unbags her harp and starts to play (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_LCcAXr0ZU) and sing.

[McBish]

McBish and Natalie sit back to listen to the song. Natalie leans up against him as he wraps an arm around her. They both smile at the song.

[wxdruid]

Alena smoothly transitions into the next one (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uytg-MAiIQ&mode=related&search=)

[McBish]

You have a great talent. I would love to stay up all night and listen to you, but if I do that I think the healers of Inari would come here and drag my butt back to bed. So I think we should be getting going to avoid a lecture.

[wxdruid]

Okay, sleep well, both of you.

[McBish]

You to. They get up and head through the mirror. Natalie stays close to his side, almost as if waiting for him to fall.

[wxdruid]

Alena watches them go and then plays another song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TA8_RP0uo8&mode=related&search=), before she finally heads upstairs to wait.

[The Orange Zergling]

Oskar enters, about mid-way through the song, and glances briefly at Alena, but turns his gaze away, sits at the bar, and orders a DLB.

After he is done, Oskar gets up and leaves, "forgetting" to pay.

[Castaras]

After a long internet induced silence Fus teleports away.

((Bloody internet))

[Penguinizer]

George once again pulls himself together (literally).

What is it with everyone mutilating me... He asks, sounding quite annoyed.

Atleast it somehow allows me to channel energy better.

[Lord Sidereal]

A man ,new to the town, with long, flowing hair and piercing green eyes wanders into the tavern. He is wearing simple robes with a few choice arcane symbols marked upon it and carries a small rucksack on his back. He orders a drink and some food and sits in the corner, pouring over a small notepad in one corner of the tavern. He seems somewhat puzzled by whatever he is reading. And picks absent mindedly at his food without actually eating any of it.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Drake comes downstairs and orders a Merfolk Merlot.

[Penguinizer]

The penguin now summons a hand of arcane energy that throws the surprised ork to the corner booth.

Thats for throwing me around he says.

[Lord Sidereal]

The man looks up from his book at the two throwing each other around. he waves a hand in an attempt to send them to a gladatorial sub-plane, beofre returning to his book without bothering to see if the magic worked or not.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Drake sips his drink and looks around.

[Lord Sidereal]

The studious man catches Drake's meandering gaze and nods his head slightly before returning to his work.

[Lord Iames Osari]

Drake nods to him, then sighs, pays for his drink, and leaves.

[Penguinizer]

The penguin and the ork are once again playing cards, after teleporting back from the sub-plane.

[Gemini]

Gazelle teleports in, laughing. "You're all pathetic. Pathetic people should be punished." Gazelle fires grey matter balls of energy at random people, killing them.

[Silas]

Silas walks in and grins.

"About time something happened. You, you're under arrest."

[Gemini]

Gazelle cackles. He then mocks Silas. "Oh, who me? I'm under arrest? You big police force can go kill yourselves, I having my fun!" Gazelle says as he summons a giant demon. The demon tries to grab Silas.

[Silas]

Silas melts and moves out of the way. He reforms with one hand now looking like a gun barrel. He fires the energy cannon at Gazelle.

[Gemini]

Gazelle quickly turns around, and grabs the bullets. Afterwards, the hand that caught the bullet falls off. "AHAHAHAahahahahhahahahahhahahahah! Eat this!" Gazelle fires a barrage of grey blasts at Silas, then shoots off behind him in a different direction. He then summons two more giant demons. They charge Silas.

[Silas]

((ball of energy, not bullets.))

Silas dives under the nearest demon and fires the energy cannon up at it.

[Gemini]

((Sorry, whatever.)) The demon flinches a little, but tries to grab Silas. Gazelle flies up into the air.

[Silas]

Silas allows the demon to grab him, but once again melts and reforms on the ground. His left hand melts and forms what appears to be a rod.

[Gemini]

Gazelle yawns as he continues to fire blasts at people, killing off more. He then opens a portal where several more demons come out and charge Silas.

[Silas]

Silas fires five charged energy shots at Gazelle, and dodges the demons.

[Gemini]

The portal grows larger, trying to engulf Silas, as well as more poeple. Gazelle teleports away. The portal remains. ((I killed a couple hundred.))

[Silas]

Silas reforms his left hand to his hand and pulls a device out of his pocket. Using it, he closes the portal. He kills all the demons and leaves.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

*Atreyu trots into the tavern, relieved that its relatively empty and orders some llamanade from Paige. After paying, he relaxes in the corner and laps at the drink and chats with Paige.*

*After a bit, he excuses himself to stare in the mirror to Inari's, checking out his wool and face in particular.*

[McBish]

Eric comes inside and limps over to the bar and takes a seat.

[Kyral]

A flaming handprint appears on the surface of one of the tables, slowly getting hotter. As smoke floats upwards to the ceiling and the palm becomes white-hot, there's a tremendous bang and Kyral is in the Tavern, hand on the table. He looks tired, and takes a seat, looking at a small red cup with a curse.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

*The llama breaks away from the mirror to go see to the limping man* "Ummm, are you okay?"

*He also jumps a bit whenever Kyral appears*

[McBish]

I'm ok. He glances at Llama to check to make sure he is acctually talking, and to see if he is wearing a badge. You can probably see his pant leg has some old blood on it and has been sewn up recently.

[Kyral]

Kyral sighs and takes a small sack from one of his pockets, shaking it back and forth and then pouring some of the contents, some strange chopped herbs, into the cup. He spends the next several minutes shaking the cup about, trying to get the herbs to settle evenly.

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

The door opens and the Pirate King enters. "Ahoy, all!" He tips his hat and starts rummaging around behind the bar.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

*No badge. Just a mask, a black collar with a ornamental tag hanging from it, and an amulet of Inari.*

"Yikes. Looks like you upset a badger or something. Did you try to steal from a cat? they are tricky around here.*He says with a grin*
(gotta go soon, 10 min warning)

*He bleats happily to EL J. *

(Tony acknowledges Kyral's actions, even if Atreyu's too busy.)

[McBish]

Not a cat no. He looks over El J and smiles at the eye patch. Nor a badger.

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

El J reaches over the bar to scratch Atreyu's ears with a grin and raises an eye at Eric. "Badger?"

[Kyral]

Kyral nods to the Pirate King while focusing on his task, finally settling the herbs and removing a small clay bottle of water from his pocket. "Indeed."

[Chaotic Bob]

Terre wakes up with a stifled scream. Tirre blearily looks around.
Whu...Who died? he asks sleepily.
Terre gasps slightly and gets up and heads to the bar.
Damn worm thing....
Guess he still suffering from the residual effects of the beastie's madness. He'll get better, I hope.

[McBish]

I've never actually meet one myself. This llama here thought perhapes I had a run in with one. You might notice the dried blood and newly sewn pant leg.

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

El J shrugs at Kyral, then resumes his rummaging. "Hang around here a while, you'll see weirder than that."

"Aye," he nods to Eric. "I can see why he might think so. You do know we have several temples in Town, don't you?"

[Mortia De Luna Draco]

A figure walks into the tavern, bloody, and limping. The shadow of a massive pair of wings can be seen under the great cloak that hides his face. He falls to the ground just inside the tavern, his enormus frame smashing a table in two.

[McBish]

I don't need healing, I took care of it. Not that I could afford it anyway. He turns to see the man fall to the ground.

[Chaotic Bob]

Tirre runs over to the injured man and tries to check for his wounds.
Somebody help me please!

[Kyral]

Kyral is about the pour the water into the cup when the figure crashes to the ground. He jumps slightly and spills the water all over himself and the table. Sighing, he puts the cup away and looks over at the figure with a raised eyebrow, standing.

[Mortia De Luna Draco]

The figure lies on the ground, not moving. His wounds are great, and he looks to have had a long journey. There is a large, deep cut on one of his sides that seems to be festering and infected.

[Atreyu the Masked LLama]

*Atreyu wants to help, but Tony has to go, so Atreyu will glance at the mirror one last time, break into a grin, say bye to El J and the wounded man and trot out the door, just before the wounded man comes in and breaks the table.*

(MORTIA! *WAGS HAPPILY TO SEE OUR FORMER MAYOR AGAIN!)

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

El J tosses Eric a platinum piece as he vaults the bar. "Gods...Mayor?" He scurries to the fallen figure's side.

[McBish]

Eric sighs and gets up and limps over to the man and sighs at his size. I don't suppose you can help me get him over through that mirror? He says to Kyral. I can't do to much for him and the tavern floor isn't a place to do anything. He also takes the platinum piece and tosses back to El J, Don't need your charity.

[Chaotic Bob]

Tirre's eyes widen at the sight of the wounds and he digs through his cloak for his potions of cure critical wounds. He finds one and tries to force it down the man's throat.

Terre looks over at the sight and considers helping, but decides that 4+ people are enough.

[Kyral]

Kyral calmly walks to the man's side at Tirre's request and kneels, inspecting the wound and checking for a pulse. He nods at Eric. "Alright."

[Mortia De Luna Draco]

The formor mayor accepts the tonic, but it seems to have no effect, as before. There is a pulse, but it is faint, and fading. He tries to speak, but his voice failes him.

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

The Pirate King catches the coin without looking. "Have it your way, kid." He peers at the fallen figure closely. ((true seeing; detect poison))

[McBish]

Eric tries to heft Mortia up and winces at the pain in his leg.

[Chaotic Bob]

Tirre is dismayed at the sight of his potion having no effect.
Is there a cleric around?!
He tries to help Eric lift up Mortia.

[Mortia De Luna Draco]

Detect poison: no poison, just the infection. Mortia tries to speak again, and a strange bubbling sound comes from deep in his throat. Is sounds like Sar...Then he falls uncontious.
((He weighs about 950lbs, so how ever strong the characters are...))

[Kyral]

Kyral easily lifts the man up with Eric's and Tirre's help, grunting slightly and closing his eyes. He begins walking towards the mirror, keeping the man's upper body higher so he won't choke on his own blood.

[McBish]

Eric helps him to and through the mirror.

[Chaotic Bob]

Terre decides to run into the portal ahead of the group to warn the clerics.
I wander what happened....

[El Jaspero, the Pirate King]

The Pirate King is tempted to follow, but remembers...he has other duties now. "Good luck, Mortia," he whispers to the mirror, then grabs his basket of food and heads out.

[Magician]

Magician walks in quietly and finds an empty table before ordering a pot of green tea.

***

Magician takes out his set of rods and makes a number of passes with no visible effects.

[Carrion_Humanoid]

IG-A2

A Pit-Droid walks into the bar and orders a can of oil, whistling a tune which sound a little more like screeching.

[Magician]

Magician blinks, entirely confused by the presence of the droid.

***

Seeing that the newcomer is abosrbed in his odd canned beverage, Magician resumes his earlier activity.

[AmberVael]

Jack hums as he enters the tavern. A small sigil glows on his hand.

[Magician]

Magician pauses and looks at Jack with a smile. Then he takes the opportunity to sip his tea.

[AmberVael]

Jack glances over at Magician curiously and waves, then shrugs and takes a seat next to him. Hey there!

[Magician]

Magician nods "Hello. Fine evening, isn't it?"

[AmberVael]

Its a mite chilly outside, but not enough to make me disagree. Jack shrugs.

[Magician]

Magician chuckles "I have always found cold easier to deal with than hot. You can always put on another cloak, but there is a limit to what you can remove." He sips his tea. "What brings you to the tavern this evening?"

[AmberVael]

The hunt. Always the hunt. Jack's eyes gleam almost greedily. I'm a spellcaster, you see, and I am always looking for more magic.

[Magician]

Magician nods "I understand that well: I search always for the true names of dragon spirits."

[Xaspian]

The Pigeon half-falls through the doorway, and lands upside-down.

It scrabbles for a moment, and manages to find its feet.

[AmberVael]

True names? Jack perks up. I know about Truespeaking and naming. Quite an interesting study it made.
