Re: Trog's Tavern CLIII
The coins are legitimate. There's a slightly reddish tinge to them, some sort of impurity either accidentally or deliberately added in when they were made, but if anything the distinct colour probably adds slightly to their value. "Oh, yes, th-they're quite old, actually. From the period where dragons acted as rulers to a number of empires."

Re: Trog's Tavern CLIII
"Fascinating." Renault says. "How did they rule? Were they benevolent? Greedy?" He wonders.

Re: Trog's Tavern CLIII
"B-benevolent for the most part, but misguided. They had the best of intentions, but it didn't end well. It never does though, does it?" Gudrun shrugs, then reaches across to pick up her newly-acquired trinkets and inspect them. So pretty. So shiny. "They really are wonderful pieces, aren't they? I'd better make sure never to step in your shop, or I'd bankrupt myself!"

Re: Trog's Tavern CLIII
Renault laughs at that. "Well, if you ever want anything custom done, let me know. Hm. Imagine that, dragons ruling. No one would be able to tell them no, would they?" He smiles wistfully. Unconsciously, he rubs at the gauntlet on his hand. "It's certainly something."

Re: Trog's Tavern CLIII
Renault will likely be able to see the gears turning in Gudrun's head at the thought of custom orders. Ooh, the possibilities!
Oh, but those would be expensive. Probably best not to do so for now. But sometime. Sometime maybe. She could get the shiiiiniest thing.

"Of course, you can't have a totalitarian government, but if it were someone willing to listen to reason perhaps?" Renault muses.

Re: Trog's Tavern CLIII
"W-well the dragons, ah, the ones I knew at least, always had a hard time accepting advice from the lesser races. Like I said, they had the best of intentions..." Gudrun gives a shrug and distracts herself with the tea for a moment.

Re: Trog's Tavern CLIII
Zefir head sinks down until it hits the table.
"You know your not good at cheering up." he says.
"Maybe prison? Most world dominator end there" he replies with a grin, which looks a bit strange with his head on the table. "Well, my hobbies are.... now that I think about it. I either spend time in my job or spend time avoiding getting hit by my job."

"First I've heard it, actually," Adir says, sitting back and grinning with his eyes closed for a moment. He barks out a laugh at the prison comment. "Well, maybe before we get you to the 'get a girl' stage in the life togetherness department, we need to figure you some hobbies."

Re: Trog's Tavern CLIII
Gudrun gives Renault a vacant stare for a moment, caught rather off guard by his question. "I-um, w-well, the days of the dragons having empires were a long time ago, and there aren't many left back home. I guess I could tell you a bit about them, though. What do you want to know?"

Re: Trog's Tavern CLIII
"Nah,
mages only,
never really did we don't have weapons like that at homeworld,
I build some on my own...for work,.." Zefir replies to Adir until the last one comes up. He appears supriesed, totally shocked.
"Interior WHAT?" he asks. "Dude how the hell did you come to have Interior decorating as a hobby?"Last edited by Zefir; 2018-08-12 at 08:16 AM.

Adir would be embarrassed if he weren't having a little chortle at C4's reaction. "It's funny, I guess. You have a few kids, you buy a couple of different houses... You have to start picking furniture to stock rooms with. Then you're picking the paint, the floor, the lights, the trim..."

"Well, then I'll kinda tell you to foutre le camp, dirt-girl." Whiskers takes a long drag from his cigarette and blows it in J's face.
"Alright, fine. Algernon! Glasses!"
Leslie's white dire rat jumps from the doorway and leaps onto the crude greybeard's chest. Leslie makes a meep sound and just barely catches the door again before it swings shut.
"Argh! Get off me, you disgusting..." Whiskers tosses the oversized rodent to the ground and spits his cigarette at him, prompting Algernon to take cover behind J.
A quick assessment reveals that he has already secured the deadbeat's little spectacles in his mouth.Last edited by Dr.Gunsforhands; 2018-08-14 at 09:13 PM.

Whiskers grunts noncommittally.
"Fine. Then you won't mind if we keep your glasses as collateral!"
"Ha! But of course! I'll gladly pay that dandy newt in those cheap - er, fine novelty reading glasses."
"Ah..."
A quick glance at the list reveals that this guy rang up a serious drinking debt back in the day. Leslie doesn't know the currency conversion, but she can guess that one pair of eyeglasses aren't going to cut it, cheap or otherwise.Avatar by the Ninja Chocobo.

"Killing all the mages in my homeworld" he says and befor he can even answer Zefir speaks up again. "Don't look at me like that. I was raised in an military family. Training, physikaly and mentaly day and night. I couldn't get out and have fun since I wasn't able to use anything that makes fun. That means learning and training all the time untill I was good enougth for missions. And then i ended up here."

"Yeah..." C4 appears a bit worried. "I'm sorry. I felt like telling this. If your not good with it I can understand if you want to go now. And maybe never talk again. As a fact we know only little about each other. especially about the past."

Re: Trog's Tavern CLIII
"What were they like? Well, like most dragons, I guess? Great and powerful with the wisdom of the ages at their disposal. And from what I saw of the ones still around, quite humble too? Y-you learn the most from your failures, right? And they've had time to make every mistake imaginable and grow from it. Where I'm from, I think dragons aren't the sort of innate spellcasters you might see elsewhere, but the blood of a dragon is a powerful thing, and they had the knowledge of all sorts of dragon blood magic rituals." Gudrun pauses for a moment to take a sip of her tea. Definitely not just stalling for a moment as she considers how much to say, no sirree!
It's not like she's really giving Renault any details, but all these questions...
"With a little time and a little blood, they could conduct rituals that surpassed what any individual mage was capable of."Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticise them, you'll be a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

"Fascinating." Renault says. "Blood can be a powerful conduit for magic, but... to use the blood of an intelligent creature. There's taboos against that. At least according to the church." He adds.

Re: Trog's Tavern CLIII
"Different places, different taboos." Gudrun remarks with a shrug. The Nexus being such a melting pot of worlds, there's probably someone here who considers drinking tea in a tavern to be taboo! "Although I imagine there would be some very unhappy dragons if anyone other than a dragon or their most loyal followers tried to make use of their blood? I never heard about anything like that happening, though."
