"Devis me boy, I think it's time we had a quick word about our druid and the Chosen of Heironeous there."

He clambers out of his chair and stumps over to the Bard. Kazak mutters a few sentences to him, with the occasional gesture towards Vadania and Alhandra. This done, he returns to his chair with another tankard floating along after him.

"Get ye self a drink and forget about it, that's me advice." He says as he floats another ale to the Bard.

Lidda can barely contain herself as the poem is read out. By the end of it she's on the floor, laughing her little ass off.

Hey, what are you saying about me, I don't like being wisphered about where I can't hear.

It had better not be anything bad.

Devis, your poetry, is nice and all, but, utterly pointless. You want to impress me, think of something functional.

Alhandra looks from underneath her brows at Devis, saying, "This stuff actually works on most ladies, oh sexy one?"

*then she laughs a hearty laugh you might not expect from a person of her respected station*

"Don't let it get you down, Devis, my serenading scoundrel!
I have been hit on by the best in my time, and I must admit, you DO have a way with words.

If it weren't for my ability to see thru charm better than most, your words would certainly have an impact.

Alas - I am no giddy adolescent anymore - I have been granted a holy charge by Heironeous:
to protect the innocent and bring the fight TO evil whene'er I may.

So my life cannot be filled with pretty poetry - it might get in the way of my crystal-clear directive."

*Alhandra claps Devis on the back in a warm gesture of comraderie, leading him a table where her own refreshment sits untouched*

"I offer my cup to you, bard: I have no use for beverage such as this, as it might dull my wits in combat, which we are soon sure to encounter.

A man who can affect men's hearts with song and word is a valuable ally indeed.

I, myself, prefer to lead men and women by example, and by appealing to their nature: whether that be riches, or valor, or justice!

But we are two sides of the same coin, my friend.
As long as your inspirations lead men or women to good deeds, I would be proud to adventure with one such as you!"

[OOC] Does anyone have "The Last Paladin", a WONDERFUL story (by the creator of Legend of the Five Rings.. John Wick?) that was about a bard and a paladin in a VERY troubled land?

I seem to have only bookmarked it from Gaming Outpost and it no longer links there... does anyone have that story saved? [/OOC]

Lidda leans over towards Devis as he sits with Alhandra's guiding hands, and mutters in his ear.

Does she ever stop ranting on? If not, I know of this poison that doesn't kill but will make her throat so sore that she won't be able to talk for days. By then we should've finished this adventure. Whattya say?

Jozan claps loudly as Alhandra finishes her speech. "As I said before, my Lady Paladin--with you and I working as one, the minions of Evil will be driven before us like leaves in a storm!"

He moves to the table beside her, pours a glass of wine, and raises it. "To our partnership, and Pelor, and the triumph of Good!" He winks at Alhandra, then drinks deeply.

"Aye, I'll drink to that! To our merry band, the gods, and the cause of Good!" He quaffs deeply from his tankard.

Jozan and his big Pelor, talk talk talk. I value the sun of course, but come on. "To our partership, Pelor and Good." Does he have to keep bring up his obsession with the sun all the time? I think he's compensating for something.

*smiling broadly at her nature friend Vadania*

"Come now, Vadania - we all understand how important the sun is to you... and to all life in nature.

What we should hear when Jozan exclaims the praises to Pelor is that he is praising whatever light makes YOUR soul shine.

For you, Vadania, that might be the peace and harmony of a sheltered meadow, bustling with life.

For Mialee, it might be a well-honed battle-plan, pulled off flawlessly and with no wasted effort.

For me, it might be the faces of the innocent men, women, and children of the village that we have just freed from tyrannical oppression thru great valorious combat!

For Regdar, it might be ... well... an anatomically impossible lady of the night who doesn't only lactate milk.

For Devis... well, I don't know if I want to think of such things.

But I'm sure all of us have some light inside of us that spurns us ever on... into the darkness... into the unknown.
The light that keeps us going when all else may seem lost.

Even our diminuative lurker-in-shadows, Lidda, may have light within her small heart... it may be the spying of a secret treasure-trove, known only to her.

In any of our cases, when our brother Jozan speaks of Pelor in glowing praise, just try to imagine him saying such things of what YOU take to heart, and we may all understand each other better."

All of a sudden, Mialee (who's not said much recently) finally lifts her nose out of a tankard of particularly cheap ale and makes herself known. Several discarded tankards lie about her, on the table and the floor.

Hey, Alhandra, why don' choo shut up, eh? Ain't no one wansha hear about yer... *hic*

pauses

Lidda, I liked that poem. Tell me another. Make it quick, I'm a wiszr'd and I'll BLAST you!!

Laughs. Laughs hard and falls backward to the floor.

The doors open slowly as if they were being opened by the gentle breeze, a light mist seeping in as a lone figure enters the room.

Greetings fellow adventurers, I am sorry that my travel took longer then expected. Have I missed anything important?

Lidda shoots her head up out of her paws and looks at Mialee, looks at the tankards and then, with panic plainly evident in her gaze, looks at Regdar

Oh no... Reg... you let her drink?!?! Don't you remember what happened last time??? We're still paying off the damages!

Lidda looks at the roof

Oh dear Rudd! This place is wooden!

Lidda dives underneath the table...

Jozan is staring at Alhandra.

There is an audible click as he snaps his mouth shut.

He takes a half step toward her, his arm moving slightly...

...as if her were going to grab her in a fiery embrace and kiss her with such passion that the Sun God himself would set their bodies aflame...

...as he reaches up and grasps the holy symbol of Pelor that hangs around his neck. "Yes, ahem, indeed, Lady, beautiful...beautifully put."

Raising it, he turns to face the others in the room. "You see that the Light of Pelor is all things to all people--although I'm not so sure about that bit concerning lactation..." He shrugs this off and looks at Valdania.

"And where would the woodlands be, my dear, without the divine energy of Pelor's sun for nourishment?" He seems to have recovered his bravado, and gives her a patient smile. "We all know how dank, dismal, and lifeless is a deep cave wherein no light shines."

He glances down at his holy symbol, polishes off some slight flaw, and notices Mialee.

"By the Light, child! That's no way to act in a guest's house!" Tisk tisking all the while, he picks her up and hauls her into a chair. "Lidda! Stop cowering and bring her some cold water."

*Looks toward Jozan and Alhandra who've been talking*

Oh, yeah of course, whatever, I understand what your saying completely.

*Hangs head abit, then letting out a slight sigh, forces a smile.*

So, um, Mialee, where did you get that ale. I'm feeling a bit, um, thirsty.

"Elves jus' can't hold their drink. If ye need water Jozan..." He digs around in his pack and pulls out a waterskin. "..I've got some here." He walks over to Jozan, passing Vadania on the way. He give he his mostly full tankard. "Have this lass. It looks like ye need is greater than mine."

He hands Jozan the waterskin. "What have ye got against caves then? Some of the best years of me life were spent in caves."

He looks over at the woman by the door.

"Have ye got a silver key, lass? They seem to be most important."

Jozan takes the waterskin and unstoppers it. "Against caves? No, no my good dwarf, I am not against caves per se, except ones filled with evil, overly tentacled creatures or ones that are muddy."

He sniffs the contents of the skin cautiously, then pours some into his palm. "Ahem. I only used caves as an example of a place wherein no sunlight could reach, and therefore where none of the lovely ferns and oak trees, etc. that our dear Druid loved so much could grow."

He lightly splashes Mialee's face with the water. "A place devoid of the Light of Pelor, you see. Though--of course--when I am present even the darkest cave can be touched by Pelor."

Jozan smiles toothily at Kazak, then turns back to Mialee. "Wake up, dear--wouldn't want to insult the Mayor!" He flicks more water on her face.

*After having finished 2 large glasses of ale, Vadania looks toward Jozan, her head rocking lightly.*

Yeah, ferns and oaks are nice, I like oaks. What are we talking about?

Mialee, where do you shop? I want a red dress like you've got on the Clue cover. It's very pretty.
