[Tavern Thread] The Dunn Wright Inn

Silvery laughter bounced in through the door with the two women that had come through it arm in arm, smiles bright, eyes dancing with heartfelt joi de vivre. The old man in the corner who had fallen asleep hunched over his books and scrolls near the fire, awoke as if struck by lightning. His eyes locked on the two women, wide with disbelief. As his jaw dropped he leaned back in his chair which gravity presently pulled to the ground. The old man fell in slow motion, even in his shocked state, his innate magic kicking in instinctively. The chair crashed loudly to the ground and he followed gently behind it. The noise drew the attention of both of the women, each of them stunningly striking in their own way that went beyond the physical. Although it was true that the physique of each of the women was striking enough all on its own. One of the two looked and lost interest in the scene in a matter of seconds and continued towards the bar although to her chagrin the arm of her friend held her firmly in place. The other stood stock still, frozen like a deer in bright light, with the look of one who was about to flee.

The old man, Relic, as he was known by several of the regular patrons, seeming to recover some of his senses, pushed himself vertical once more in a way that was clearly not natural, lifting all the way off the ground before settling back down upon it. "It's you!" he whispered. "After all this time, it's you!"
The woman, who must not be more than 20 summers replied with trembling voice "You mistake me for someone else, grandpa". There was no conviction in her words.
"We have not yet met. Not in this life. But I have been searching for you since ... since you ..."
"Don't you dare!" the woman cut off Relic's words, tears building in her eyes.
"Forgive me..."

The other woman had been watching the scene with one eyebrow raised, and it seemed she had had enough of what she was seeing. Her sword seemed to fly into her hand she drew it so fast. The air sang as metal cut through it and the edge of her blade pressed up against the old wizard's neck before anyone could react. Most of his beard dropped to the floor. "Old man ... you are upsetting my friend here. We just came here looking for fun, and now look what you've gone and done!"
"Sol, it's ... it's okay. I ... I... I think I ..." stuttered the teary eyed woman.
"She knows me" finished Relic.
The sword wielder narrowed her eyes and then pulled the blade away, sheathing it with a flourish. "You sure do have some strange friends, Brangwen."
Wiping the tears from her eyes, Brangwen looked defiantly at the wizard. "So ..."
Relic seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. "Will you walk with me? I believe I can explain all of those things, the dreams, the ... " He stopped and looked around at the many faces staring at the exchange. "I think we can help each other untie the knot." The final words seemed to break something in Brangwen. She broke into tears. Relic Nevyn moved to console her, and she allowed herself to be guided out the door.

At the bar the other woman watched in disbelief. "Are you serious!? Brangwen, you can't be serious! You said we were going to catch that boat! You were going to get my ticket..! What happened to bareback riding the koi fish of the Ang Islands? Brangwen! Oh for fffff....." A swirling wind suddenly slammed the door behind the pair. Solomon turned back to the bar and took off her brightly plumed widebrimmed hat with a sigh. "Now what am I going to do?" she mused. Her disappointement seemed to only last a few seconds before she shrugged it off. "Like the wind..." She smiled at Grog redonning her hat. "Can I have a drink, handsome? No, wait hold that thought... all of my money just walked out the door with that old buzzard. Well then ... you seem like the kind of fellow who knows where a woman can find work and still keep her pants on, am I right? Where someone handy with a sword might earn some coin doing something that makes the blood race? Solomon Silence's the name. Dangerous enterprise is the game." She tips her hat and offers Grog a cheeky wink.

Heinrich notices for once Marla is not looking at him, so he gestures to the fire in the fire place and whispers to in. next seen is a decohesion of the flame in the fireplace of three small flames, which he scoops up and starts juggling. sounds can be heard from the small flames but unless you speak ignan, it is gibberish.

Click to expand...

the redheaded wizard juggling the three flames jumps at the crash of the chair, dropping the three flames in the stone of the hearth. They, in turn, go running back into the flames of the burning log.

Heinrich is just about to react when a sword singing with swiftness trims the old oracle's beard causing the wizard to freeze in place. He sometimes knows when not to act and this is obviously lone of them.

Heinrich hears his name called. Dusting off his hands of ash from juggling flame he smiles, "Ach! someone in need of help!" He he then chugs his mulled wine, signals for another to be brought to the indicated room and heads there in post haste.

Melisande, Paladin

~ At the bar with Larissa ~


Melisande noticed that Aradra returned and have called out for company to help with a favor. If he needed help, chances were that a champion of Helerion would be required.

“You will have to excuse me, Larissa. I shall find out what the soldier needs. Mayhap we shall speak again.”

Taking her unfinished wine, she headed into the other room.

"Of course," Larissa nods to Melisande as the paladin rises. "A pleasure to have met you."

Larissa looks over again at the strange man gesticulating in the corner. Rising, she tries the obvious.

"Excuse me," she offers. "Are you in need of assistance?"

The bouncer stiffens as cleric approaches the man, but there does not seem to be any response, so he relaxes just as quickly. After a moment, though, Larissa hears a voice inside her head.

[sblock=Larissa]You hear a voice that is seems to be a blend of everybody you've ever known speaking to you in every language you speak all at the same time. "You have been lied to, cleric of deceivers. Order is nothing more than the chains used by tyrants of this world and others to bound your immortal spirit to their will. Cast off the chains, let your spirit be reborn free from the burdens of order imposed upon you by this world by your cruel masters."[/sblock]

The strange man seemed not to have spoken in the strange voice. Larissa cast a sidelong glance about the room and saw no one, including the bouncer, seemed to have taken any note.

She does not reply in spoken word, but instead thinks about her words intently. You are in my mind? she subvocalizes, anger flashing in her eyes but no other outward show apparent.

The voice simply repeats the same statement. As Larissa watch the man, the different colors of his paint start to blend together, becoming a muddy brown. No one else seems to notice any difference.

Larissa watches the strange man carefully, trying to decide if the changes in his color are a hallucination. Then she simply asks aloud, "What do you want here?"
