Cratchen, spell slinger and his cat Fiorella
The door to the Inn swings wide again. This time a small cat prances in first, followed by her servant. Well, at least Fiorella feels that is the proper relationship between the two. The middle aged human lets his little friend keep her thoughts of superiority, for there is just no arguing with a cat. A house cat at that.
The cat struts through the bar, finding many people and other cats, bigger cats. And a dog.
{{I am strong, I got servant. He will protect me. Grog has milk. Grog likes me.}} she thinks to itself as she make her way to the bar. With a quick, nimble jump, she is up on the bar.
*Meow* and without hesitation Grog pours another saucer of milk for the little one.
"Gud kitty Fi." Without bothering to look up, Grog reaches back for the next thing, setting a bottle of whiskey on the bar next to the saucer.
"Grog, am I that transparent? Oh, well, I guess I am. Yep, it is time for another bottle of whiskey, a backroom and another group of brave souls to earn their stories of glory."
"Cratchen, yu drink same. Fi drink same. Yur gold always gud here. Take number three."
"Thank you my friend." Picking up the cat in one hand, the bottle in the other, he doesn't have a third for the saucer. A couple short words and a twist of the bottle, the saucer starts to float and moves ahead of the human on the way to the back conference rooms.
Seeing Lem and Menik,
"Oh hey, hi. If you stick around a bit, I might have something for you to do too. Let me get the greenhorns started first."
Cratchen disappears into down the back hallway and into a room with a big 3 on the door.
Grog raises his voice to get everyone's attention,
"Attenshun! You greenhorns want work. He haz work. Be vary kareful. Spell slingger pay gud for hard jobs."
[sblock=Recruiting for "Return to Boar's Ridge"]
Return to Boar's Ridge is the game thread for an adventure for beginning characters. So, first levels and Muzdum at 2nd are good to join the game. Read the time intentions, rules, etc over there and see if you are interested. If you are, post a "getting up, tipping the waitress, and going into the back room" type post here to symbolically leave the DWI and the post your entering the room in the
Return to Boar's Ridge thread.
The game should run 6-8 months. You will likely level once during the game. Expectations are that you can post once every 24-48 hours, but I am a bit lax at times on that too.
You need at least one approval to join a game. I will work on getting your other approval done in the first week or so to get you fully legal and approved as I get time. Starting up two games at the same time is keeping me a tad busy.
No reading the other game thread of a similar name from two years ago. It has too many spoilers which would spoil the fun. [/sblock]
