The Pie... Err... Keep on the Shadowfell.

The Hivers' Humorous Keep on the Shadowfell - IC Thread. Be warned, this game will contain raunchy, as well as outright bad humor. From time to time some mildly adult themes and most certainly lots of Bad Wrong Fun Gaming.

Feel free to start IC banter guys. I see you were already eager in the OOC to start building the personalities. Just wait a minute or two so I can post the first IC post, please. (okay that's done, you can go now.)

[Sblock=Background
Fresh from six years at Arcanum College (Go Wolverines!), Ellis has just graduated with his Master of Magic (M.M.) degree. While in college Ellis was consistently top of his class, and also involved in a number of extra-curricular activites. Secretary of the Youth Adventurer's Guild; Drum Major in the marching band; President, founder and sole member of the Merlin Appreciation Society; and treasurer of the glee club. Extreme devotion to his school? Or just an inability to ever say "no"?

Sadly, in the six years that Ellis has been strenuously avoiding the real world, the economy has tanked. Jobs are few and far between, and tuition loans are looming ominously on the horizon. He was on the brink of an act of desparation (moving back in with his parents) when he saw the ad placed in the local paper.


He wasted no time in applying for the position. But due to a terrible mix-up, he seems to have gotten the wrong job. He keeps trying to explain the error, but nobody seems to pay any attention. Normally he'd simply give up on them. . . but money's tight. And it IS a steady pay-check. And really, they have to notice sooner or later, right? . . . Right?


[sblock=Ellis's deepest darkest secret. On no account should any of you read this.][sblock=No, really. I'm serious, this is personal stuff.][sblock=c'mon guys, knock it off!][sblock=I hate you.]Ellis is still a virgin. Chicks dig adventurers, right?[/sblock][/sblock][/sblock][/sblock][/sblock]

*Map originally by Lord Tirian, with few modifications by me.

It was a dark and stormy night... Well not really. It is actually early evening and the sky is clear, but it could have been dark and stormy night.

It all starts in a Tavern, as these things usually do. Gilded Copperpiece is the name of the place, in the city of Fallcrest. A group of young heroes, with their elderly dwarven mentor and the squire of one of them meet to discuss about the most important situation. A promise of gold and fame. It seems that the busty and beautifull young wife of Fallcrest's most prestigious baker has asked for your help. How she came to choose your group is none of your business. Well at least that's what your virtuous and chaste dragonborn paladin tells you. She just happened to ask for his help while he was having some... er.. paying for some... er... buying some bread, yes.

Well anyways, it was not your business. The important thing is that the baker, Johan Baker, is missing. He was taking some pies to the Midsummer Feast in Winterhaven and was due back a week ago. It's not that the wife really misses the ugly bugger, but business is starting to go poorly because of the lack of his famous Blackberry Pies. So she promised to pay good if you can bring the cheating bastard back from whomever he's sleeping with in Winterhaven. Or at least bring his secret recipe for the Blackberry Pie. Actually, don't mind bringing the man unless you really have to, just get the recipe.

Sir Voluminous, Dragonborn Paladin of Kord, is sat at the table with an enormous tankard of ale in front of him. Occasionally he belches, and a small wave of hot air wafts across the table.

"My friends! My fellow, friendly, marvellous...friends!" he bellows. "We shall forge a new tale of gallantry and heroism! We shall make sure that our noble quest is undertaken in the most triumphant manner possible! A toast!"

He drains his tankard.

"Ah, drat it! I am out of ale! Squire, fetch more ale! Ale for all my companions! We must take a pledge to achieve our goals! Ale! ALE!"

In a comfy chair in the corner Korz Cragonstone reclines his considerable dwarven bulk a soft huming and whirring of coggs come from the ancient dwarfs armor and a cloud of smoke streams out of a gap that you can only assume to be his mouth between a mass of white hair that starts underneath his nose and progresses into a series of braids which at the moment are splayed all over his chest.

With his smoking pipe currently in his left hand Korz gesticulates while speaking in a cracked and ancient sounding heavy dwarven accent
"Ah Toast, yes a round for me lass"
*looking in the direction of the berobed Eladrin*
"and don't forget the butter!!"

"Anyway pies pies pies *pauses in thought* Sounds like the work of.....Goblins!!! always after our pies, have I told you about the time I unearthed a conspiracy under the krak'o'dur mountains, there was a goblin raid withs it aim to.."

Thorid sits in his chair, sipping slowly from his tankard, quietly muttering "What kind of ale is this? ...I've drunk orcish beer that tasted better! And now, there's even no pie."

"GOBLINS!?" shouts Sir Voluminous. "WHERE?"

Upon noticing that he's still in the pub (with no goblins), he targets the Dwarf with a fierce stare. "Korz! You speak of goblins where there are none! Bah! My blood was ready for battle for a moment there!"

"I once ate goblin pie, you know," he continued. "Tasted foul. Don't recommend it! Where's that ale?!"

Korz's glass eye continues staring straight forward while his beady pale blue one redirects its attention to Sir Voluminous "And you should ever be on guard for the machinations of Goblinoid and Orc kind! hmm hmmmm!" as he stabs his pipe in the air towards the dragonborn.

"anyway where were we?" he quickly snaps

*looks around the room at the assortment of whippersnappers*

before yelling "And wheres my toast!!"

Ellis Bertram (Human Wizard)

Ellis is sitting daydreaming on a bench with his "companions" when Sir Voluminous's cry for a toast catches him off-guard. Nearly knocked onto the floor by the wide swept arm and mug, the human wizard struggles to his feet to avoid any more outbursts.

He tries reasoning with the Paladin one more time.

"You know they have barmaids for this kind of thing, and I'm not your squire. . . I'm a wizard"

But predictably, his protestations are lost in the uproar over the supposed goblins. And now the damn clockwork dwarf wants a drink, too. Come to think of it, Ellis decided that he could use a drink himself. And maybe another chance to talk to the barmaid, she was really cute. But his earlier attempts at flirtation hadn't gone so well. . . she was probably just busy at that moment.

*SIGH*

"Okay, one round of drinks for the good knight and his friends. I'll be right back"

So saying, Ellis wandered off in search of alcohol.

As he sees Ellis wandering off, Thorid looks up with raised brow.

"Lad, get me something stronger. The good stuff, y'know."

Brigitte slams down her mug of ale after finishing it. "Whew, that's good stuff."

She turns to look at all the others. "And what's all this nonsense about Goblins and pie? It's Gnolls and pie, I tell you. The famous incident with the fighter against the Gnoll who took his pie. Can't you guys get it right? For the love of Moradin..."
