[Tavern Thread] The Dunn Wright Inn

[ZenSwift]

OOC: New to this style of gameplay so bare with me for a bit lol Just waiting on character approval also

As the door opens letting in some light an average looking male steps through it. He closes the door shakes the dust from his travel cloak and throws back its hood. You can make out the telltale ears that make him of elf decendence. He looks around finds a seat at the bar and says Glass of wine Please Barkeep

 

[Systole]

The door to the inn opens and a pale-eyed dwarf enters the room. "Mister Diiiiickens!" he calls, "Oh, Mister Diii--" He pauses suddenly. "Cavernous Hode believes that he recognizes this very locale! Was it not here that he stumbled into his first adventure? True, there was an unfortunate lack of the ripping of bodices, but certainly there was much doing of derrings and buckling of swashes. And battening of mizzenmasts and swabbing of poopdecks, if Cavernous Hode does say so himself."

The dwarf appears to ponder this. "Perhaps the ripping of bodices is for more experienced adventurers," he murmurs to himself. "Well, is there not an obvious solution to such a befuddling conundrum? Cavernous Hode must become a more experienced adventurer! And the first step is most likely to comport himself as a patron of the establishment. Barkeep! Cavernous Hode shall partake of a ... um ... a beverage?"

The bravado which the dwarf had been talking himself into ebbs considerably. "Uh, perhaps the barkeep might inform Cavernous Hode of what refreshments are regularly served in such an establishment as this? Cavernous Hode suspects that the juice of fermented mushrooms is perhaps not that which most patrons typically imbibe."

[sblock=OOC]@toasterferret Mister Dickens is currently up in the rafters, and he's a dire rat with some fiendish blood in him. Not sure most Zaphyn will react to him...[/sblock][sblock= Mini Stats]

A gnome that seemed to have been practicing his act on the stage in the corner hurried over to the bar at the dwarf's question and the newcomer's order. "Allow me to educate you on the drinking habits of the locals, as you are clearly from the south where that mushrooms are much more common in drinks." And after ordering a nice, stout ale on the dwarf's behalf, proceeds to give both the dwarf and the elf a lesson on popular local drinks.

 

[Satin Knights]

Tasanto, having finished some work for the venzan navy, returns to the inn. Not needing his fighting suit, it is just the young lad that enters the tavern. Finding a quiet table, he orders a plate of fried fish and wine from Marla. Somehow, the navy could not cook a decent plate of fish. Go figure.

Seeing Cavernous Hode at the bar, he keeps an ear open to make sure the naive dwarf doesn't get into too much trouble searching for his fabled bodices. But his mind wanders already. Just thinking to himself, "Yeah, Trixie. Trixie is likely to be the first to slap him." He smiles, waiting for the entertainment to begin.

 

[Systole]

"The south ... ?" The dwarf considers this for a moment. "Yes, Cavernous Hode supposes that he originated from that general direction as surface dwelling types might reckon things. In any event, he gladly accepts any education that the loquacious gentleman is willing to offer."

He examines the stout carefully, sips it, and nods. "Yes, Cavernous Hode has had similar beverages, generally in the upper geological strata where the only available water sources flow through a bed of aerated loam. Cavernous Hode graciously accepts the beverage, with many thanks." He pauses for a moment. "Although perhaps Cavernous Hode wishes to respect surfacer tastes insofar as he is able, might he venture to request something with a slightly lower soil content next time?"

"That, well, that might be a bit more challenging, but I would suggest the merbeer when you can find it. No soil at all, what with the entire process being done underwater and all. Away from the coast, your options are much more limited, but there are still a few drinks that minimize the exposure to soil." Elliman isn't even remotely phased by the dwarf's critique as he rattles off a good dozen options without even really having to stop and think about it, and at some point one has to wonder if his own brain may have been a bit rattled by the drinks, as he seems to have personally sampled most of them at least once, including some with ingredients that made mushrooms seem downright mundane.

 

[toasterferret]

Anna graciously smiles at the offers for help.

"I thnik you much for your concern and offers of aid. Let me ruminate for a few hours and try to think of the best place to start."

She takes the closest seat and quickly loses herself in thought.

OOC: Just waiting for my adventure approval before I can "hire" you guys.

OOC: Just waiting for my adventure approval before I can "hire" you guys.

OOC: OK - hang tight. I can maybe give it a look tomorrow and fit one more into my "Judge's Queue."

 

[HolyMan]

Ioseph (human cleric 2)

Nodding a bow to Anna, Ioseph once more finds a table.

As the Inn looks to start getting more and more clientele he is hard pressed to find a seat so moves to stand at the bar leaning his over-sized warhammer once more against the bar, it's head on the floor.

He nods to the dusty traveler and asks, "How fair the roads friend? No trouble I hope."

OOC: OOC: That's directed at your character - Jec LeBlanc - ZenSwift.

 

[mazzoli]

Thiera enters the inn's common room looking much refreshed following her adventures. She blinks to try to adjust to the much dimmer lighting inside, and spots Cavernous Hode at the bar. From what little she can tell from this distance, he appears to be being himself, and that concerns her a bit. She looks around nervously for his rat, but can't find it at the moment.

"Probably hiding in the rafters..." she thinks.

She then sees Tasanto and gives him a cordial nod before indicating to Grog that she'd like a drink and sitting down by herself at a table in a relatively quiet corner of the room.
