"Lets just git this 'ver"
Faelyn chuckles at the bronze skinned elf. Orn...I don't think she is afraid of you. He keeps an eye on the noble. House Grulios? I wonder why he is alone. Is he that gifted with his bow or is he just stupid.
It looks like she handled that punch Alphonse. I'll take that bet. I might spend another couple of nights here and could use your donation.
He simply gives a quick nod.
Sunny's demeanor doesn't change a whit.

John will head over to the mermaid grotto to get His weapons enchanted by Andrea. When he enters he sees the fight going on, he also see where Anderea is will make his way over to her.
Orsin wakes up beside Shu Lien, still fully clothed and before the sun rises. He let's her continue to rest, slipping out of the room, leaving her usual pay on the beside table. He waits beside the door until dawn, slipping out unnoticed when the sun's finally up.
---
He does his best to stay in cognito as he passes by the squawker on the street, scoffing under his breath. Like hell, I'd put myself through that again. The whole reason I came to this blasted city in the first place was to avenge the deaths caused by these grizzly entertainments.
---
When he arrives back at his dark, abandoned yet well-appointed apartment, he sets down his handy haversack on top of a nearby dresser and pulls out the three volumes of the Libra Malfactum.
"Alright," he mutters to himself, under his breath, "Let's get to work."
Andrea nods to John, ducking as Orn sails over her head. Hey there, hope you are feeling better from the last few days, I am ready to enchant your arms and armor. By the way, The Mayor is planning on doing ANOTHER Six-Fold trials, I think we should make ourselves scarce in case they come looking for us.
Faelyn watches the flighty elf unleash hell on Orns head and breaks out in a belly laugh. Looks like it is going to be a wealday afternoon afterall Alfonse. I may get to stay the rest of the month here on you. He picks up his coffee and takes another sip with a smug look on his face. I love winning Alphonse's money. It spends so well.
"Agreed. Here is themoney you needed." John hands over a pouch containing 300gp. Indicating the fight John says "What is going on here?"
Sunny you did not catch Orn flat footed but he is definitely seeing stars on his back. He was not unconscious just knocked on his rear.
Alphonse tosses his coin on the table and scowls as he stands, "Get him up. You can start tonight...what do I call you bruiser?" He barely waits for the reply.
Sunny steps closer and looks down at Ord.
"So...next time ye gon'a want ta do it right?" She asks "I mean, a bod could almost take it personal, like, when some one starts throwin' arms around all wild an' such." She looks to see if Ord wants a hand up...or just wants to stay lying on the floor. She glances around at every one elses reactions...
She looks over to Alphonse Lourdou.
"Whut d'ye mean? Most folks seem happy t'call me 'Sunny'." And she giggles at finding something amusing in what she's said.
"It'd be a right smarter thing t'do as t'not call me anything a'tall. Let them's whut're misbehavin' get a right surprise fer 'em selves when they think they can arc up in'a place." She smiles. (^_^)
Shinon says "Hello Andrea and John" He nods at Lucrezia who he barely knows. "Nice display there. Could have used her when I took the axe to my head," he laughs.
"I'm here to ask you to come to see Lady Grulios, she is anxious to hear aobut the party."
Lucrezia goes to check on Orn. "Orn? Can you hear me?"
She kneels beside the half-orc, trying to see if he is unconscious or not and if anything looks broken.
Suny kneels down on the other side of Orn, "Here luv, I din't know I were bouncin' yer beau all over th' place." She says to Lucrezia Villanova.
"Still...I did warn him, all fair an' square like, about how we shold'a done things right...but ooooh no! Some folks think that jus' swinin' arms around be all okay..." Sunny says while the tanned Elf offers to help with Orn's recovery.
Faelyn slides the coin back to Alphonse. let me stay the next couple of nights and we will call it even. You know I will drop some coins on alcohol and your fine stew. When is our game?
He was not unconscious just knocked on his rear-end.
Orn gratefully takes Sunny's hand as he rubs his chest. Obviously, not having any hard feelings about being put on his butt. Solid punch.
"And I told you how fights are around here. If you can't handle the unpredictable, you don't need to be here. Bar fights don't follow rules and you can get hurt if you expect otherwise."
If he is concious, Lucrezia helps Orn stumble to his feet and takes him over to the bar for a drink. "C'mon, let's get you a drink."
Andrea kneels down to Orn and casts Cure Moderate wounds on him.
Looks like someone is applying for a job as bouncer here. Andrea says to John.
Turning to Shinon, Andrea nods. We will be there as soon as we can. Duncan is taking some time off to run Grumm's smithy.
Sunny rolls her eyes at Lucrezia,
"But we weren't fightin' an' it weren't unpredictable." Sunny helps with the other side of moving Orn.
"I all ready explained ta..um.." And she waves a hand towards Alphonse Lourdou "How I be thinkin' m'self should go about th' business o' dealin' with folks arcin' up." She glances at Lucrezia. "There seems t'be a failure of communication a'tween us, luv." She finishes as they settle Orn onto a bar-stool.
You mean how hard should you hit people go get rowdy?
Faelyn slides the coin back to Alphonse. let me stay the next couple of nights and we will call it even. You know I will drop some coins on alcohol and your fine stew. When is our game?
"Could be Moonday or Toilday." Then he walks away.
Sunny turns at the new voice,
"But 'tis easy t'know how hard t'hit some one when they's rowdy." Sunny explains to the new woman with a smile.
"Just hard enough t'make 'em stop bein' rowdy, like." She grins, "T'is all-a-ways me motto in any a fight!"
"Be nice! Until t'is time t'not be nice." Sunny explains her methodology, setting her leather bound hands upon her hips. (^_^)

Orsin cracks open the Libra Malfactus and sets about unearthing its secrets. I speak Infernal if that's an issue. I also get a bonus on checks involving ancient Azlanti. Need any checks?
Well welcome to The Grotto, I am Andrea and this lovely lady is Fiosa. Andrea gestures to a pretty halfling that is by her side.
Andrea whispers to Lucrezia when she gets the chance. Let us talk later, I am thinking The Grotto needs some new ownership and a different way of treating employees.
Sunny extends a hand,
"Hey-YA there!" (^_^)
"I s'pose m'name be 'Sunny'. Least ways, that's whut every one seems ta end up callin' m'self." And again Sunny laughs at something she finds amusing in her own words.
"Aye, an'a friend did convince me t'come an' have a look-see at th' place." Sunny's eyes roam over the decor...She shrugs,
"Well....not like t'is tha first time I lost shiny on'a bet." She adds with a rueful grin.
Lucrezia whisper's back to Andrea. "I am in full agreement with that. Can ya find out what a place like this goes for?"
Andrea clasps Sunny's hand, her appendage getting a vigorous shaking from the cheerful elf lass. Well I'm sure we will be seeing plenty of each other.
Hmm..She has a very strong striking arm, perhaps she can help us on our little crusade. Andrea thinks to herself.
Lucrezia whisper's back to Andrea. "I am in full agreement with that. Can ya find out what a place like this goes for?"
I can check the records. The Exchange House has access to things like taxes and fees for loans and property buying. If we can get enough for a down payment, we can buy this place out and transform it into a proper house of pleasure and tavern.
Sunny watches the two women converse...
And does little more than smile, stepping up to the bar and seeing about a late morning breakfast.
Shinon mentions to John, Andrea and Lucrezia that, " Lady Grulios would like to meet at 1:00pm, no need to get fancied up. This will be working business meeting, she's looking to hire you for job. Do you all have wizard in Brotherhood yet that you can trust? Probably need a bit more muscle too?" He looks around, "She throws a good punch." He reaches down and grabs his bow, "Can I respond that you will be there? Oh, feel free to bring the group for this meeting."
Andrea nods to Shinon. I will certainly be there and will ask Sunny if she would like to join us. Please tell Lady Grulios that we will be attending.
Andrea will motion to Sunny and move over to Faelyn's table when he is free. Would either of you be interested in some extra work? We have an invite for tea at the Grulios estate.
Sunny does laugh at something she might have found amusing. (^_^)
Faelyn watches the owner walk off and then switches his attention to the ladies and the half elven noble still wondering what business he has in an establishment like this.
Orsin slips the first Librum back into the haversack and answers the door impatiently, giving a deliberate "What?" before he registers whom he is addressing.
Oh Faelyn, would you be interested in purchasing a spellbook? I have in my possession one that might interest you. Perhaps we can come to an arragement if your funds are somewhat low.
Faelyn sits up straight. Yes. I would love to see it. barely containing his excitement.
Andrea nods. I don't have it with me right now, since I left it at my residance before going on a night on the town, but I would be more than happy to get it on our way to the meeting we are attending if you would like to join us.
Yes, yes...I will definitely join you. Thank you. Unlike the past 24 hours, Faelyn for the first time loses his poker face and struggles to hide his excitement.
Up for a little tea party a little past noon, Sunny?
Sunny nods at the woman's question, "Oh aye. T'will be another new experience." (^_^) She smiles happily at Andrea1.
"Thank'e muchly fer th' invite...Miss...?"
Just call me Andrea, we tend to go on a first name basis here.
Lucrezia sighs. "At least Lady Grulios serves normal tea and such at her party. I'm going to grab a couple thing from my room and be back down."
Looking over to Orn to make sure he's okay, Lucrezia the goes up and gathers some weapons. Even for a friendly meeting, Lucrezia doesn't want to go about unarmed. For all she knows that tiefling could be following them around out here too...
Indeed, I will stop by my apartment and get a few things as well.
When the time to head out nears, Andrea leaves with Fiosa and heads back to her apartment to get her weapons.
Do you want to come as well Fiosa? A little more experiance and training can be helpful. Andrea puts the spellbook Faelyn was interested in, into her pack and then heads out to meet the others at the Grulios estate.
