@Jim....Your mug flies across the room spinning through the crowd. It slides under the edge of a stool occupied by a well armored dwarf as he settles back down.
The chair leg hits the mug crushing it and upending the dwarf head first into his plate of food. With loud angry words in dwarven
he stands up, brushes off his face and attempts to clean the chunks of stew from his now greasy beard. He glowers around the room.
Not seeing anyone that might be the culprit, he turns back straightening his stool;finishes cleaning himself off very meticulously. Walking around the table with his stool, he sits where he now can clearly see the gathered and raucous crowd . He pulls out two gem encrusted short swords and places them with in quick and easy reach of his new position. Waitress , bring me some more of this. he motions to the mess. and something to make me presentable again.
perception DC 25 (Jim 20)
To the gnome.
Yes, I can move if you need me to. Though could I have a pastry instead?
To Faagaki, after moving tables. (I will follow him)
What do they call that kind of drink? I am not sure I really like it, it tastes like an uncooked root we sometimes for medicine. But I don't think everyone here would be drinking medicine.
perception:
"O he smashed and he crashed as he walked down the street
That old blind and deaf troll with to many left feet!
The watch ran up the hell to the Buergurs Keep,
To wake the lordship as he fa*ted in his sleep!..."
Miya dos not see any thing much having to much fun.
Faagaki laughs at Heimdallr's question. That is ale. As you can see, I don't drink it myself. I stick with good old water. Faagaki laughs again as he continues to explain how ale is made. Or at least how he thinks it's made. I never brewed the stuff myself, but I'm pretty sure it is made from a root. . . .
As Tess moves to the table that Miya pointed at she catches the comments about ale and mumbles just loud enough for them to hear. barley Looking around she finishes the whole sentence Sorry name is Tess. Im Miya's traveling companion. And ale is made from barley and hops. with that she goes back to doing calculations in her little notebook.
Miya ends her song and heads down to sit next to tess, well thats the plan saying
"Im here all night please give generously"
Jim gets himself up off the floor and rights his stool, taking his place back at the bar.
"Perhaps I've had one too many... Better make it two!" He says as he orders another round.
Faagaki looks around at Tess' comment. Barley? I guess I've heard that before. He pauses, thoughtful for a moment. Tess? I am Faagaki, son of Rabana. I am pleased to meet you, Faagaki says, bowing. What is it you are doing there, if you don't mind me asking?
looking up briefly from her notebook traveling. came into town with Miya as Miya approches Miya I got enough to make 4 of the ones you call paper candle. and I picked up what the shopkeep called a desnan candle
"wow that great, that will give us loads to play with"
Looking around the room before siting down.
"Good crowed in tonight go some real coin so we can eat and drunk, I see you have meet Faagaki hes looking for a new home, and then Heimdallr here comes from a city of Dragons, Jim hes an elfs son whos an adventure with his dwaft mate who seems to have drunk to much. just to let you know there will be a fight soon, I can tell, its that kind of night. How about we see if we can start it"
She says with an evil grin.
before getting up and going over to the orcs.
"hay lads hear this one, An occ walks into a bar and says, "Drinks for everyone, and barkeep, pour one for yourself too." Everyone thanks him and, a few minutes later, he buys another round for everyone including the bartender. He orders a third round and the barkeep says, "Sure, but please pay for the first two rounds before I pour the third." The generous Orc says, "Money? I don't have any money." The bartender kicks the crap out of him and throws him into the street. A few minutes later he comes back in and says, "Barkeep, drinks for everyone. But not for you. you get nasty when you're drunk."
She says this loudly so the whole room can hear.
Thoroughly surprised by hearing Miya mention a fight.
Fight!? What do you mean fight? There is nothing to hunt! And we are inside!
What? I am not looking for a fight. Why are we looking to start a fight? We should just sit and think that through for a minute. Faagaki's protests go on, even after Miya has left the table. He frowns slightly as he stares after her. She can't be serious, he mutters to those around him, right? She's not serious?
Faagaki, what does she mean by start a fight? I know this word but Dovalka only fight while hunting. What does she mean?
As the crowd begins to get louder and louder, the sound of a large wagon or carriage is felt as it rattles the room echoing over the sound of the happy riot. The sound seems to stop a few doors down from the inn. When it stops, suddenly you find yourselves alone with each other in the inn common room.
The innkeeper comes out, looks a round frantically. wipes off a few perceived stains and brushes back her hair and off her apron before waffling back behind the kitchen doors and ordering her maids to "serve up the best and don't spare the heaping."
Faagaki stares around the now empty room, suddenly a little unsure of himself, and wondering where everyone went, and what's going on.
At the sudden quietness Tess looks up. um what happened did the drunken dwarf run everyone off?
Jim looks around, thinking perhaps it got later than he realized.
Nothing new from the perceptions.
"&*^^(!, Tess room emptying like that can only mean on thing, PRESS GANG! quick as you can to our room, come on you lot shake a leg, we can see whats going on outside from our rooms windows up ya get! Unless you want a life in the Army or at sea."
Miya is off and running up the stairs before she even finishes speaking
Tess quickly acesses what Miya said then darts with decent agility towards the stairs after gathering up her belongings.
Getting up to follow everyone else
Hey? why is every one leaving? What's a press gang?
Faagaki looks as bewildered as Heimdallr. I have no idea, but he gets up and begins to follow Miya, taking a lingering look at the unfinished plate of fish.
Jim shrugs, grabs his mug, grabs an abandoned bottle of something that looks good, and follows the group.
Up in the room Miya opens the window has has a look down the street,
"close the door, come on lets have a look what going on down the street"
A loud thumping comes from the common room downstairs as it sounds as something or someone very large enters the building. You look out the windows and see a gigantic coach being pulled by 4 creatures you are not familiar with. 3 Ogre's stand at ready attention at the sides of this monstrosity and are liveried in gold and blue with a lightning strike/bolt down each shoulder. They are heavily armed and multiple small creatures flit in and out of your vision around this transport.
Where's the keeper here? a raucous and belligerent voice bellows from below. The floors shake from the volume and the intensity of the voice.
knowledge nature on the beasties
*
You have no idea what they are.
"Gossh sounds like giant just walked in, not that I have ever meet a giant but I bet they sound just like that and Just look at that gigantic coach! this is so exciting"
Then as if a thought had stuck her she stops on her tacks and looks over at her little dragon keeper. Her eyes squint as she points a finger at it and says.
"What do you know about this Snake breath?"
Faagaki stares around wildly. I thought you said it was a press gang, he says the words awkwardly, and before that a fight. Now you say you have no idea what's going on? Faagaki shakes his head then looks at the dragon creature, waiting to see if it knows.
Snake Breath indeed! I will tell you however what I know if you give me something special to stop me from being offended at your words .... Oh and yeah I need an apology. I must follow you and move about with your whims little vixen but it doesn't mean you can insult me " With that Kodo turns and flies to the far side of the room and curls up against the door as if to go to sleep.
"This looks like a dangerous lot. Anyone have any quick escape plans, if things should turn sour?"
"Out the window always work for me" she says to Jim
At Koda's words, Miya huffs like a petchulant teen, she rolls her eyes the others and then walks over to Koda.
"all right, all right, if I must, I apologize, I'm sorry, so so so sorry"
She huffs this out and stands there,
"Now tell us what you know, if its not a press gang that that emptied and Inn is seconds, has to be some thing really scary come on you know you want to tell... come onnn whats down in the bar that got every one do worried they left undrunk drinks behind. I know you, you know some thing, that mind talky thing you do always gets you the best gossip"
Shes close behind him now, and tickles his tail.
"Come on you know you want to tell"
huh what whose scary. What did I miss Looking up from her notebook Tess is apparently oblivious to what was going on
"yes you missed the Inn emptying and some thing big walk in down stears,"
Koda sleepily replies Nothing much except some one coming that has the villagers terrified. But Illusion is present to and the creatures pulling the coach are called Gre-arachsol and are not from this plane
Jim thinks for a moment, a little fuzzy from all the drinking.
"Interplanar creatures." he paused, "I don't like those."
Faagaki stands straighter at the mention of interplanar creatures. He thinks back through his studies to see if he's ever heard of those creatures in his study of the planes. Then he turns to the little dragon, Do you know which plane they are from? He asks.
Koda -- Well they used to be part of the plane of chaos and also sometimes were seen at the gates of the abyss. Well that atleast was when they survived in the "wild"
From downstairs you can here the loud voice proclaim...This is decent food. Not like last time. I need someone to work for a bit. Pays well if they are successful.
"Did that thing just say 'pay' as in adventuring work?"
She looks at Jin,
"Your an adventure they say you can get boot load of gold doing that kind of work is that true?"
She hops around excitedly
hmmm Miya, you should calm down they said it was not from this plane
"Yes, you can find treasure when you're lucky. More often though you just find a pit full of angry aberrations snapping at your boots." Jim says casually, reclining against the wall.
"But I suppose I've collected a handful of... souvenirs, over the years."
Miya sits down as Tess tells her to calm down, its one of the things she likes about Tess, her levelheadedness
"Magic Stuff! wow! that's stuffs like really rear, should we go down see what they want doing?"
she says this is a whisper as if some one could overhear them.
Adventuring? Such as exploring new places? I guess that is what I set out to do, but I am not sure about those things outside, I don't know that I have ever heard of a place called the abyss.
"I think is where the sun lives"
