The warm smell of coffee, the delicious aroma of baking pastries... Ah. Could it be anywhere other than Elfbucks?

You're all at your posts, just a few minutes before the start of the first day. Dunkin' Dragons, your time has come!

[Elbeyon]

Talila

Talila's been performing (dancing a lot) for the crowd outside for a good while now. The crisp morning air bringing out her rosy cheeks against her blue hair and eyes as the group of customers gathering for their morning coffee. She puts on a show and dramatically conjures up another firework that goes screaming into the air before exploding in a flash of elfbuck's signature colors.

Spotty, her familiar owl, is flying around with a sample basket mixed with their signature drinks and their various fresh baked muffins, bagels, danish, cakes, doughnuts, etc. etc...

As the doors come closer and closer to opening she starts to rhythmically dance in place and a booming voice comes from out of the sky reminding the customers/passerbys what they are waiting for and what items are on sell today. Gesturing to the line and trying to usher in the stragglers; she continues to put on a light show for all to see not just the customers. Bright lights of various shapes from arrows to the elfbuck's logo and dragons appearing in the air at random it seems. A whole experience/ruckus for all the senses.

[A'den]

Urikker turned the collar of his jacket up against the cool morning air, it was seriously too early in the morning for this crap. He ran an eye down the street before stepping out of the alley and hurrying in the back of his new place of employment. Although by the smell of the roast and baked goods someone was already hard at work. He walked around the breakroom and poured himself a cup of the morning's best and hung his coat on a peg before heading back to the stockroom to find some appalling apron to put on.

"Hello, anyone here?"

When the fireworks go off he came rushing out to the front, "What the frell was that?"

A blue haired elf dame witch was razing the dead, a bad day to leave his sword in the stockroom it seemed.

ninja!

[JNAProductions]

The first customer walks up and says Yeah, hi, I'll take a double-double with dragonspice.

[Elbeyon]

Yar, got ninjad by less than a minute.
Talila

Urikker walks out to a dragon hugging the store's sign and the blue haired dame holding a glowing ten pound explosive in her hand. The fuse lit and crawling up closer to its big performance. "Uh, it was a firework. I'm kinda bringing in the store with a bang." She puts up her unfilled hand to stop him from talking. "Oh! Crap. The doors opened and I wasn't ready." She yanks the string on what is effectively a bomb to send it into the air. "Just a moment."

She pulls a piece of chalk from her belt and quickly, elegantly scribbles a symbol onto the ground and press her hand upon it. A geyser of steam the size of a tree shoots out of the ground and into the sky. The former mist momentarily blocking the sun from the entire town as it turns into a cloud. The entire affair is over in seconds the clouds say is Elfbucks is open for business and its street location. Welcoming all who want to come.

"I think the entire town can see that? What do you think?"

You cause up to ten words to form in a part of the sky you can see. The words appear to be made of cloud and remain in place for the spell’s duration. The words dissipate when the spell ends. A strong wind can disperse the clouds and end the spell early.

[Estralita]

Adrie had been sitting by the counter drumming her hands impatiently, but jumped right up and got behind the counter where she was supposed to be. Yes! Coming right up!

Once she had her instructions, Adrie whirled around to complete her task. But oh no! The cups were placed too far away from the coffee maker! Adrie needed to act quickly, and since she had magic...

Yay! We've started! Let's see how badly Adrie can mess this up by using Thorn Whip to grab the cups!

To hit: [roll0]
Damage[roll1]

[JNAProductions]

The cup gets impaled and drawn towards you, a gaping rent in its side. It is entirely unsuitable for holding coffee.

[Ellowryn]

Lunk watches as his fellow workers went about creating chaos in their store. Sigh, he hated Mondays. Turning to the customer, he gingerly pounds on the register.

Double Double with Dragonspice, what size? He says with a thick orcish accent as he stares down at the customer

[JNAProductions]

Med-GRHK! he lets out as a crossbow bolt pierces his throat.

Dunkin' Dragons will not tolerate this offense! someone shouts form the outside.

[A'den]

Urikker

"I think the whole county can see that sign, well plenty of people hopefully some of the magic university students will come by too." He looks a moment longer then turning to the chaos behind the counter he fetches a new cup for the one Adrie impaled then looked at the machine he was supposed to whip an expresso from, it looked ridiculous but he gave it a whirl. After throwing a scoop of something that looked like dragonspice he poured four shots into the mug and threw on some frothed milk.

Mundane task shouldn't require rolling right ;P

"One double double with dragon spice." He called out and put it on the counter next to the register. He looked at the customer then glowered with his best, you better drink that or I'll find you look.


[roll0] Least intimidating gangster half orc ever.

"ITS A HIT!" Urikker cries then pulled his longbow out from under the counter!

[JNAProductions]

The corpse somehow manages a non-plussed look on its face after your abysmal attempt to intimidate it.

Oh come on! I shot him! Stop acting normal!

[A'den]

Urikker returns fire at the source of the crossbow bolt.

Adrie looked at the ruined cup she pulled puzzledly. It took her a few moments to realize there was a fight going on in the shop. Looks like we need sturdier cups, she said to herself, before tossing it aside and vaulting over the counter.

[erikthered1300]

Burgle is behind the store, tending to the coffee plants. What is all that noise? Is it opening already? Crap. I better check and see how Adrie and Lunk are doing.
Burgle sighs, drops his spade, and scampers into the cafe

[Elbeyon]

Talila

"Hey! Killing customers is against company policy. This is a citizen's arrest!

She flings her arm and a piece of chalk launches into her hand as her elbow locks. The chalk flies into motion drawling arcane runes into the air faster than one could imagine. Blossoming beams of ice swirling outward creating a flowering display as they home onto an aggressive target.

"Oh, right it's astroid, nephroid, quadrifolium, atriphtaloid not bicorn, astroid, nephroid, lemniscate of Bernoulli...

I'm out!" Talila runs for the store to hide behind the wall.

[Ellowryn]

Lunk looks around and the wild flailing and new damage to the store, sighing. Well, at least random violence helps make the day better he thought. He then reaches below the counter and pulls out his Bad Customer Fixer and vaults over the counter, swiftly moving to the nearest problem while bellowing Violence by customers is prohibited! Please make your way off of the premises or DIE!!!

Jennifer has been busy preparing Danishes stacked in a pyramid on a tray, quivers of biscotti, and a croissant recreation of the battle of Dunkus' shoe. She expected chaos on the first day so dismisses the sounds she hears. She sighs when she sees the broken cup. Sure, magic is all cool and everything but sometimes it's better to just use your hands. If they had followed the rites of passages through the stations, this would not have happened.

As she sets the pastries down, she smiles at the first customer and notices that he is impaired by his impalement. "Really?!? Everyone! Not harming the customers is the 4th rule of business."

Jennifer takes in the full scene and a switch flips in her head. She grabs her conveniently placed halberd and rushes around the counter. A smile crosses her face as she prepares to defend the counter and those near it. First day of business and already a chance to defend it!



[roll0] initiative if needed.

I figured as I'm starting a tad late and Jennifer needed to set down pastries and grab her weapon so wouldn't have an action to attack. She will use her reaction and polearm master to attack the first opponent that comes within 10' of her.

All attacks on Lunk. Lunk, from now on, post your HP in your post. (If you survive)

Scowling at the incoming volley of bolts and causing many to veer off course, Lunk turns to the loudest and unleashes another mighty swing of the Bad Customer Fixer.

Urikker vaulted over the counter top and moved up to Talia's position to stop any of the bandits from closing to melee with their spell caster. It was then he noticed the quiet pastry confectionist charge with a halberd. He used the meatshield for cover while snapping another arrow at the bandit crossbowmen.

"So anyone ever get the feeling they were hired for more than their barrista skills?!"

Burgle is behind the counter, crouched down. You guys look like you can handle this , just give me a shout if you need any healing or support!

[Stan]

"Hey. Ganging up on one orc. That's not Fair!"

Jennifer moves forward enough to attack the closest bandit, still trying to protect archers and casters.

[Estralita]

Adrie frowned, seeing her attack miss wildly,knocking a chair over. Clearly, her mistress was telling her something.
Time to embrace my mistress's light! And what could her mistress bring, except the darklight, bathing all the enemies in purple.

Spending my last spell slot on Faerie Fire, trying to catch as many of the opponents as possible, while not affecting the Elfbucks staff

[Ellowryn]

Scowling at more incoming fire, Lunk does not miss a beat and continues to pound proper social behavior into the loudmouth captain.

[Stan]

Jennifer frowns slightly at the casting of faerie fire. Hopefully, Adrie will have time to rest so she can cast it again for the after party at closing tonight. Oh well, it was the right decision to cast it and there will still be dancing lights.

Emboldened by her early success, Jennifer moves forward enough to attack the nearest lit up bandit.

Alright men, stay together-

RUN!

The bandits break and flee, the captains futilely trying to keep them together. With their men abandoning them, one yells We'll be back, you cussing cusses! before running away with his men.

First encounter-Victory!

[Ellowryn]

Lunk looks on as they run away, then casts a raised eyebrow at his fellow employees

But we have not used profanity, it is against company policy.

Sighing, he moves over to the corpse of the customer and searches for his wallet, then dangles him upside down while shaking in order to get any lose change that may be on his person. Once he is satisfied he will lug him out back and toss him out of the store. This process is then repeated to those from Dunkin' Dragon that fell in battle.

[Stan]

Lunk, let's make sure the customer is really dead first. If they are dead, maybe we can help his loved ones file a suit against Dunkin' Dragons.

Jennifer cleans her halberd and ponders.

So, are we at war or officially in a feud with Dunkin' Dragons? Perhaps it was an individual store manager acting without higher authority? Are any of the fallen bandits still alive so we can interrogate them? I think we should write up our grievances and deliver them to a Dunkin' Dragons to gauge their response. That way we know where we stand. I wouldn't want to escalate the situation by burning down all of their stores unless we are clearly at war with the entire organization.

[A'den]

Urikker grunts at he stood up from behind cover and went to grab a broom to start cleaning up the mess... after a second thought he gets a mop too, "Huh I think they made their position pretty clear lets head down the street and burn that darn Durnkin Dragons down."

[Estralita]

Upon seeing the opponents flee, Adrie smiled widely. "Ha, the light of my Mistress has scared them off!"

Upon hearing her fellow employees comments, Adrie grew more concerned. "Burn them down? I don't believe my Mistress has granted me fire magic."

[Ellowryn]

Lunk stops what he is doing, leaving the dead customer dangling by his foot.

He points to the bolt through his neck, I think he's dead George, imean Jennifer....

[Stan]

Jennifer helps with the clean up then goes outside to encourage other customers that it's alright to come in as they were victorious.

[JNAProductions]

Unfortunately, the crowd that was here earlier has scattered to the winds, disheartened by the fight.

[erikthered1300]

Friends, I have an idea! I could turn into a rat and sneak into Dunkin' Dragons and shut them down!

[Estralita]

"And we will pose as a mighty distraction for your protection!"

[Stan]

Underhanded. But acceptable.

[Ellowryn]

Does that mean we are closing up early today? Wont that cut into our profit margin?

[Estralita]

"Well, maybe someone could stay behind. Thanks to them there aren't many customers her anyway."

[erikthered1300]

Exellent! If I want any hope of completing the deed, I will need to scout the area and learn of the best way into their kitchen.

[Stan]

That's a good point Lunk but the day's profits have already been ruined. We should seek restitution or revenge instead. We should all stick together. We can have a re-opening tomorrow.

[Ellowryn]

Oh well, mondays are slow anyways Lunk thinks. And seeing as there will soon be more combat he sits down and takes a moment to try and regain his strength.

Spending 1HD to regain HP [roll0], 1 of 4 HD spent

[JNAProductions]

[roll0]
Just so I know.

[Stan]

Jennifer writes down enough to fill the front and back of a piece of paper while Lunk is lounging. She smiles with excitment.

There. I've written out our grievances to Dunkin' Dragons. Urikker, would you be so good as to escort me in case they try anything underhanded? Burgle, while I'm occupying their attentions, you can transform and do recon and whatever else you deem reasonable. I dunno, maybe the rest of you can wait outside or come with one group or the other, whatever each of you thinks is best. I'm better at following rules than giving orders. Let's be on our way before they regroup after their defeat.

[Ellowryn]

Lunk shrugs and gets to his feat, then walks into the back to get his personal gear and to hang up his work uniform Darn these blood stains are difficult to get out.

Once equipped Lunk follows after the group on their way to "negotiate" with their rivals.

[JNAProductions]

You travel to the Dunkin' Dragons, seeing a line stretching outside the door.

[Stan]

Jennifer decides that she is not a customer so she steps around them to go in. Once inside, she asks to see the manager. If they appear, Jennifer hands the list of grievances to them.

[JNAProductions]

A slim young elf behind the counter addresses Jennifer nervously. Excuse me, ma'am, no cutting in line. We have many other customers.

[Ellowryn]

Walking in and towering over Jennifer, Lunk looms at the elf, We are not customers.

[JNAProductions]

Then, uh, um, you, uh, um, should...

[Stan]

Jennifer hands the list of grievances to the young elf.

Deliver this to your foul master.

[JNAProductions]

B-but the c-customers!

[Ellowryn]

Lunk turns to the line of people who are undoubtedly either curious or angry at the interruption. Inhaling deeply, and squaring his shoulders, he lets out in as loud of voice as he can EVERYBODY LEAVE!!!!

[roll0]
And yes, that is a natural 20! XD

[A'den]

Urikker got frustrated with the non-violent approach, "This is for the customer who ordered the double dragonspice latte and never got to drink it!"

He hurled a flash of Alchemist's Fire at the wall behind the counter.
