City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn X

[WarlockLord]

"Ah, by the Far Realms of Cthulhu, you win!

I shouldn't have drunken as much as I did. It must be affecting my vision or something. Or I could have gone into what my comrades in the wizard's school called the 'real world'. But hey. I must confess I need said magics, as I look odd and am a runt. <<sigh>>. Not that I am evil enough to rob innocents of their free will."

Abdul adds "Ah, a Maenad" he realizes, finally. "You are right. I will have to search my books for insults.

On a completely unrelated note, I don't suppose you could tell me about the mental powers wielded by your people?"

``Oh goody, a pissing contest.`` Payne ordered another tankard, glancing to Lokin's to see if he too needed another drink. ``I've found that those that don't enjoy sex generally aren't doing it right.`` She pauses a moment. ``Either that or they can't get someone to do it with 'em. So.. which is it?`` Her attention now on the elf that had decided to intervene in their conversation.

( Gah. Was posting at the same time, I was just slower. )

Kol smiles broadly. "You are not the first too make that mistake. Even those who know of my kind barely recognize me as such. Apart from being handsomer then most..I don't have a large stick shoved up my arse." He spies a waitress walking by and relieves her of the drinks on her tray. "Here drink up!"

"No one knows what exactly happened...Mayhaps some Godling broke his word to us, or the first of our kind was betrayed by the wiles of a woman, or mayhaps the gods decided to play a little joke. But each Maenad is borne with a rage within him...a primal fury. With that comes power. Most of my race fear it, try to bottle it up and control it. Each of us can unleash that power, that anger in a primal scream. A scream that can ripple the air, knock a man prone, or even shatter steel. I myself just let the madness free and let it's power flow out of me, strengthen my sinews, allowing me to strike with a ferocity unknown to any other of my clan. This has made me an outcast among my people. For they, l.ike many, fear what they cannot control."

``Oh goody, a pissing contest.``

"Where??" Kol said looking around. "I have yet to lose one of those! I believe my record still stands..Do you know is it for distance or volume??" Kol asked with a straight face.

 

[InVinoVeritas]

The leathery ascetic hops off his barstool and heads over to Abdul. "Fellow elf, do not worry about the boasts of this... not-elf who claims not to be human. Love and sex are touchy topics, since apparently the act of love makes them go blind, or somesuch oddity. It is one of the strangest things I have learned about the locals."

He turns to Payne, a curious and good-natured smile on his face. "You claim to have trouble with men loving you... how much does their blindness affect you and them?"

Bliiink. Payne watched Kol as he, like a puppy searching for the stick you threw but never really let go of, sought out this contest of urination. She snorted a laugh and shook her head. ``Yes, Dear. I'm sure you've never lost one of those, truly an achievement.`` How did she get mixed up with this group again? Oh right. She needed a job. Now.. there were two elves kabitzing about love and humans and such. Content with her drink that Kol just swiped, the femme fatale brought the liquor to her lips only to bring the cup away again as she was addressed. ``I... wha--?`` The other male, she was going to guess, didn't make any sense to her. ``You saying you wish me to make you blind?`` Her hand skirted back her cloak to exposed a single dagger sheathed at her hip. Oh she had more, many more, but this was the only one he would be made aware of. Her facial features were stoic when she spoke, but her eyes flashed dangerously. ``I don't make a habit of skewering eyes in taverns, but I can make an acception for you.`` She smirked and puckered her lips blowing him a toxic kiss before returning to the task at hand - drinking.

Lokin chuckled at the aggressive yet still good-natured conversation going on around him. It reminded him of his time as a mercenary. People who's lives were long stretches of boredom punctuated by short, violent bursts of excitement. Maybe his time as a soldier was not so different from his life as an adventurer. He listened to his companions verbally duel with the others and kept his eye on the work of sharpening his sword.

``I've found that those that don't enjoy sex generally aren't doing it right.`` She pauses a moment. ``Either that or they can't get someone to do it with 'em. So.. which is it?`

"It is more of the latter, but I suspect the former is also a problem." replies Abdul. "I suspect it has something to do with this hat," he says, taking off his black floppy hat.

"Fellow elf, do not worry about the boasts of this... not-elf who claims not to be human. Love and sex are touchy topics, since apparently the act of love makes them go blind, or somesuch oddity. It is one of the strangest things I have learned about the locals."

"Odd. Love making one blind. Never heard that one before."
