[Adventure] A Chef's Request (DM:renau1g; judge: covaithe)

[stonegod]

Not so long after Callisto's prediction, Fissure can be seen making is way towards the eatery. He no longer is carrying the large lockbox.

Fissure bows then carefully selects a seat, placing his giant club nearby.

 

[renau1g]

As you are waiting for the others, Georges brings out a small bit of food to eat.

Willow walks slowly into the dining area, taking in all that there is to see. Her tattered and dusty garments are in stark contrast to the background of the upscale establishment. Seeing the others at the table, Willow makes her way there and takes a seat. She absently leans her staff against the edge of the table with Slithergleam, her pet snake, still wrapped around it. The serpent's tongue darts quickly in and out as it explores its new surroundings, and Willow's bony fingers come up to give it a loving pat.

She eyes the food on the table. A weak half-smile is all the only evidence that she is appreciative of the raw fruits that she is used to. She reaches for a berry of some sort and places it gently on her tongue, seemingly oblivious to the large fly buzzing around her face.

"Can you tell me exactly what it is that we're doing?" she asks. "I mean, I got that you're looking for ingredients for a chef of some sort, but what is it that requires a band of hired adventurer's to do it? I am to understand that you've already lost one of your party?"

[sblock=OOC]So yeah, this is pretty much my way of asking for a recap without having to go back and read the entire thread. Am I lazy? Oh, yes...[/sblock]

Behind the Goliath walks a new figure, a heavily armored Dragonborn. As he walks, his surroundings become increasingly opulent, prompting an indifferent glance around. Seeing Fissure enter the restaurant, J'ryi follows, still relatively unimpressed by the eatery's finery. Upon his entrance, the crimson-scaled fighter gives an approving nod at the view before sitting down next to Fissure, grabbing a piece of fruit from the plate in front of the goliath. "I'm assuming this was for all of us?" J'ryi questions Georges, before popping the food in his mouth. "Well, I'm just going to sit here until someone decides to explain what's going on, so if you had something to drink, that'd be most kind." He pulls his cloak out from under him, straightening it as he looks at Georges expectantly.

Calisto starts to explain. "Georges is experimenting a newtype of cuisine. After the fast food, the slow food and the molecular cooking (whatever molecular mean), Georges is now experimenting a new exotic type of cooking that include ingredient of creature that are exotic and dangerous. We could call it Monstrous Cooking, but it sounds like bad press. He need the ingredient for a contest that will come soon.

We just brought him a small gelatinous cube, which is use to soften the meat to a delicate texture. The next ingredient on the list is... a Ghoul. There saliva have a good property to conserve flesh. Does now all that sounds more in your line of work. The job pay well, you have excellent free food but is pretty dangerous too."

Calisto seems calm and composed. She seems to have overcome the events that happen the night before.

Fissure carefully picks up a small slice of melon between two fingers larger than anything else on the plate. After eating it, and trying not to make a face at the sour fruit, he adds, Morko die.

 

[Mal Malenkirk]

[sblock=OOC]Yeah, Morko died. When recruiting, Ghorgor said back to back that it was an easy job and that someone got killed doing it. I thought it amusing but no one picked up on it. [/sblock]

-''Ah, between fight snack. Georges be best boss ever!'' Ghorgor says happily, before devouring the delicious meal. ''See what we fight for? Is noble, is very noble cause!''

 

[renau1g]

[sblock=Ghorgor]
I caught it, but I must spread the xp love around at the time and didn't have anyone there to respond to it. However, know that you made your DM laugh... [/sblock]

 

[Karmic_vegeance]

J'ryi responds to the goliath's fervor with an amused glance. "Yeah, sure. Noble. I can go with that. As for the ghoul - we got a particular place for our undead hunt, or is tomb raiding now part of the job description?" The dragonborn grins as he rests his head in the palm of his gauntlet. "Not that that's an issue."

[sblock=OOC]I almost said something about that comment back in the tavern, Mal, but I ended up just talking OOC instead. I thought it funny too.[/sblock]

 

[Walking Dad]

Nejs Radan, Half-Elf Ardent 1

Nejs looks expectantly at Ghorgor. He would never have thought of looking for a cube in a brewery, but they were successful... all but Morko...

I just hope nobody dies this time.

[sblock=ooc]

I hope we got a full rest before the next encounter...
