OOC: Eh... I have just the build in mind to make a good party out of a Wizard, a Fighter, and an odd hybrid Striker... but I've already built Chambers and it's a build I'm dying to test. The build that I have in mind is a STR/CHA Cleric|Barb with Battle Cleric's Lore and Hybrid Talent for the Thaneborn feral might, and I've already got a Barbarian at level 5. :/

By the way, [MENTION=78756]Son of Meepo[/MENTION], thanks so much for helping to keep Ignatz alive in my absence.
 

Awaits the reply for the barmaid looking up to her with those magical icy blues that make the trick all the more genuine. As the man sits next to him the gnome ponders the harm in sharing a meal with the would be bodyguard hoping it would not have to become a habit if he were to stay the night in town. Giving a soft jovial smile in acceptance he makes a light gesture with his free hand, "Sure thing.. why don't you look over the menu while I finish ordering my drink?", he suggests feeling a bit too filthy to eat at the moment.

With a jarringly friendly slap on the shoulder Leather's lips almost bend like a steel bar into a smile. Almost. You would have had to have been pretty quick to have seen it even if you were watching closely before they return to their normal position.

"You're a good man Mr Cobb. A good man."

He calls to the waitress: "Missie, a plate of whatever you have that's hot. Anything but rat. I'm sick of the taste of rat."

OOC: I had a really awesome idea for a sentinel druid, so I'll actually be making a leader for my 3rd PC.
OOC: In that case, I'm going to retire Caim (who wasn't going to be that much fun until paragon anyways) and replace her with a Human Ranger, to get this party the frontline damage it needs.
 

Suddenly the door to the tavern flies open as seven foot tall jackal headed creature burst into the common room causing many people to jump back in their seats.

The gnoll wears a red silk brocade vest and tan breeches with mismatched argyle patches on the knees. He gives a broad tooth grin before turning to a practicing minstrel in the corner.

"Come on music man, play me something snappy!"

At first the musician doesn't know how to react to this odd creature, half frightened, half confused, he freezes until the gnoll makes his order more direct, with a large glob of saliva hanging from his jaws

"I SAID PLAY!"

The musician complies, starting a dancing tune.

♫ Come on out and you will see
Fhangrim's Marvelous Menagerie.
With the most exotic beasts that there can be
It's Fhangrim's Marvelous Menagerie.
From sky or land
From cave or wood
From the depths or from the shallows
Come on all to see the show from the Isle of Laughing Gallows! ♫


(Fhangrim leaps outside and begins tap dancing in the streets. A pair of pygmy owlbears pirouette gracefully to either side of him.)


♫ Everyone starts clapping when they hear this song.
And when the animals start dancing they want to dance along
So come on up and watch show
Take it right from me
You'll never see anything quite like it...
The fantanstic, fabulous, majestic, miraculous...
Fhangrim's Marvelous Menagerie. ♫


At the end of his song and dance, the gnoll smiles, hoping his introduction has made the intended impression.

Fhangrim, animal trainer extraordinaire has entered the tavern.
 

Leather watches the show with mild amusement flickering in his eyes, though his face refuses to crease in smile.

He looks from gnoll, to bugbear, to ent, to gnoll, to dancing owl bears before muttering:

"It's like a teddy bear's picnic in here."

He nods his head, only a small flick of his smooth brown scalp, but one of evident approval before setting back into his food. His mouth full he meets the eye of the waitress.

"It's rat, isn't it?"
 

Tensed up at the sudden banter coming from the crowds astonished at the hideous creature's sing and dance tune. Turning his stubby nose over his shoulder and lowering his peppered light brown brow the gnome watched until the hyena headed creature stepped outside and was ridiculously joined by tiny owlbears! Can't be an illusion.. no one fools the master! He thought to himself looking up to his friend who was being a bit less than tactful with the help. Giving him a slight scowl the gnome chirped up, "If you don't like it then by the great deceiver DON'T EAT IT... just keep yur slights to themselves. Beggars can not be choosers.. even if the beggar is over six feet tall and wields a halfling sized weapon.", he stated making an attempt at a joke in the end to lighten his scowled face. The tavern was strange indeed.
