Barnabas The Hook's page

Dangerous aye...nah just the Fangwood forest. Sometimes we hear crying from the forest in the middle of the night. Don't bother checking it out...stay away I say. A few incident happened near the woods, a few townsfolk went in and disappeared. Scary shit, but we kinda moved on. Most affected are probably their children....right now they are housed at the orphanage.

Barnabas nods at Thak.

Alright the rooms will be prepared for you.

Barnabas nods and gulps down another 3 more glasses of the intoxicating concoction.

So what about you three?

Barnabas slightly intoxicated but still sober.

A tale aye haha Barney...that's what my kid used to call me. I am not from here you see..I used to serve as a sargent at Lastwall. The sickness took her Dwarf. What's your name again??

There is a sadness in Barnabas as his eyes drifted as if to a distance past.

I am here for the past 5 years after my child died. Just want to get away from all the grief you see. Took all my savings and built a inn here. Back then there is a wizard by the name of Rustin Lenin. He said he wanted to set up a town, saw a business on this route. Lots of merchants travelling through. Well naturally I agreed so here I am.

Barnabas pours himself another glass and hesitated.

Maybe I shouldn't drink...talking too much...

I don't know who your Aunt Hilda is but I sure ain't want to meet her!!

Barnabas slapped Angrim on the back.

Anything interesting aye?? Let's see...nothing much as you can see. Everyone's in a low mood if you know what I mean. Travellers they come and go..life goes on. Nothing much in general..

Barnabas smiles.

Well it used to be livelier as I recall...but guess things change aye?

Barnabas drinks 3 shots straight before burping.

Ah a kindred spirit!!

Barnabas smiles as the scar wrinkles with the fissures of his smile line.

Dragon's Breath!! A most potent spirit that one may take and I can assure you heaven's is just a breath away hahaha!!!

Barnabas whips out a bottle shaped in the likeness of a roaring dragon as he pours Angrim, Grollus and Terflynn each a glass.

Well you know what, I can have the men over at the bar. I got some excellent spirits and ale that I have kept. Seems like a treat and anyway looks like the ladies can do with some girl talk and we men do men stuff aye??!! What say ya?

Barnabas looks at Angrim, Grollus and Terflynn.

You stay with mommy boy!! A little too young to drink those nasty shots we will be having haha!!

Barnabas laughed as he told Timmy.

Hi I know it's a little slow thus breaking up to 2 NPC so you guys can ask questions etc to speed it up. Now just some background, this town is subtle and it is a mystery per say. Until you find out some decent clues to work on, it highly possible this town will appear normal and thus nothing will really happen. So put on your detective hats :D

Arrgghhhh Breunnor!!!!!! Breunnor!!! Shortest thing around here but sure fun as hell aye??? One bloody hell pint for you overgrown moniker!!

So what is your name? Kitty??

Barnabas grins.

My my, looks like the taste of our Katapesh Lords have just went exotic..

Barnabas chuckles as he pours the cat man a mug of wine.

You come to the right place my brother...this is a place where you might just get your last drink before you breathe your last upon the sands. Name's Barnabas and I own this place!

Barnabas grins as he slides 2 mugs of ale over to Treiden.

Barnabas ponders and scratched his head.

Don't mind me asking are you both related? You look alike.

Barnabas looked at both Xem and Treiden.

You come to the right place my brother...this is a place where you might just get your last drink before you breathe your last upon the sands. Name's Barnabas and I own this place!

Barnabas grins as he slides 2 mug of ale over to Treiden.

Watch it..

Barnabas stared menacingly at Xem.

Barnabas looked at the pair and grinned.

Ahhh...good times...

I see we got another one here today. Come here my friend! We are no strangers to each other for we may meet someday on the sands. At least let us know you before we send each other to our glorious death.

Barnabas shouts out to Xem.

Barnabas grins.

Aye with a mouth like yours, you probably have an advantage....but hear me from one gladiator to another. Rely on your teammates, think of it like a rose. Hold it carefully, it is beautiful and nice, but trust it too much and careless it will prick you. Fight like a pack of wolves, but think like a lone wolf. Remember.....It goes a long way in the arena.

Barnabas grunts and nods.

You keep your head on out there Owyn. Have you seen the new batch of fighters they brought in 2 days ago. They sure looks like they know how to use that falcata and buckler of theirs. Taldor fighters I heard, best there ever was. They even fight like you...

We are men born on the sands of the arena. Even should you leave these sands and return to your family will the darkness go away? Barnabas looked at his hook. I know mine didn't left....everyday I dream of going back to the sands....the adrenaline the excitement...most people think that when I lost my hand I would wilt and die....but it didn't...it fact my desire to return grew and consumed me.

There was a gleam in Barnabas eyes when he spook.

When I was given my freedom, I have a choice to return home. I did...but the look in my wife and daughter's eyes carry a certain disdain as if I was a monster...I tried to blend in but things are just different ..I do not know how to tell you nor the best person to advice you..we all be damn...

Barnabas pours himself a mug of ale and gulps down it down

You don't have much friends Owyn. I am probably one of those sad few you have and will keep you in remembrance should you fall. Most out there would glee and forget you like the wind

Barnabas looked at him with a serious face.

Aahhhh Owyn the Braggart!!! I heard you are doing fine in the pit. Managed to earn the irk of your opponents with that big mouth of yours Bwahahah!!

Leaning in towards Owyn whispering.

I heard some Katapesh Lord favors your fighting style and your boastful manner. It's a good thing aye?
