Even Newer(er) Tavern Thread: The Hanged Man

[Atriden]

OOC: Logan Chambers is in the final encounter of an adventure right now, and may be free in time for this adventure. He's a Controller and will be either L2 or L3.

OOC: Sounds good! Will only be accepting 4 character’s, so let me know if you are interested

 

[WEContact]

OOC: Oh, definitely interested- just not sure if I'll be free in time!

 

[FourMonos]

OOC: only four huh? Oh we'll, I won't hurry my next character into the tavern. Not like I have time to put the time onto the character sheet right now anyway

 

[Atriden]

OOC: Oh, definitely interested- just not sure if I'll be free in time!

Well, don't worry ! It will take some time for me to make the adventure and I don't expect I have time to run it before sometime in sep., since I am going on vacation soon. Still submitting a rough draft of the adventure this week and hopefully get some feedback, and then do some serious recruitment :-D !

This is going to be my first adventure as a gm here on l4W, so I didn't want to make too difficult to run ! Maybe I will take a fifth.

The front doors of the tavern swung open as a mountain of a woman entered the room. She's fat beyond belief, weighting in at least 550 pounds, maybe more. Yet she walked with such unimaginable ease, an aura of arrogance radiating from her as she made her way to the bar. "Make way for Torqua Debu!" She announces oh so proudly, the floor shaking with each step she took. "The Massive Mage, The Wide Witch, The Super-Sized Sorceress and the hero of Asamadar!" She was a dark skinned human with platinum blonde hair, wearing a bright orange robe and carrying a long oak staff with a ruby at the tip.

"Oh, it has been so long since I've been in this humble establishment." Torqua says as she finds a place at the bar, her rear end taking up three whole barstools. "Something light to start me off, if you please. Just a little bit of everything and we'll see where we go from there."

OOC: Torqua Debu is a level 5 Human Sorceress in the middle of being updated.

 

[Negin]

OOC: There's a fresh ranger interested in adventure, but has yet to be approved for action... please look up Neginea if interested.

"Oh, it has been so long since I've been in this humble establishment." Torqua says as she finds a place at the bar, her rear end taking up three whole barstools. "Something light to start me off, if you please. Just a little bit of everything and we'll see where we go from there."

The bugbear turns his head to take a look at the new arrival. He takes his forearm and wipes his mouth, clearing it from the food shrapnel from his meal . He looks at her from head to toe with lust in his eyes, grunting loudly as custom in his clan when a male bugbear wishes to mate with a female.

OOC: I've decided to spend a few dm credits to bump Rumbum up from level 2 to level 4 CS pending. Should be done with it by tonight.

The door opens and someone hooded in a grey cloak and slung with a longbow steps in. The adventurer wipes their boots slowly as they survey the room and its inhabitants, then lifts off the hood and heads to the bar. It's a pale-skinned human woman, with black hair shaved on one side and braided on the other.

"I'll have beer," she says to the barkeep. "Cheap as ye've got, as long as there're no bugs in it."

She eyes the sizeable woman at the bar near her, then checks over her shoulder at the large tusked goblinoid leering from a nearby table and the minotaur nursing a pint of ale on the other end of the bar. "I'm Neginea. Pleased to meet ye, but I'm not sure I meet the size requirements for this establishment."

Torqua gives a polite wave back to the large goblinoid and smiles. "Poor dumb fool." She thinks. "Wonder if I could trick him into buying me one of those giant steaks he was eating."

"I'm Neginea. Pleased to meet ye, but I'm not sure I meet the size requirements for this establishment."

Torqua laughs merrily, her whole body jiggling like a bowl full of jelly. "Quite the character, aren't you?" She chuckles. "Take a seat and I shall buy you a true drink. Not sure what they put in the 'cheapest' beer, but I'll wager it's mostly crushed cockroaches."

The wide witch takes a moment to study Neginea's hair or lack of on one side of her head. "So tell me, what inspired that hairstyle? It's quite the eye catcher."

 

[Negin]

"So tell me, what inspired that hairstyle? It's quite the eye catcher."

"It is the custom for warriors where I come from," Neginea shrugs. "North and south, Surtyr and Letheon, Valhyroni and human... freedom and servitude... Long way from home now."

The bartender puts up an ale on the counter: thick, foamy, and so far as anyone can tell, bug-free. Neginea sips, smiles broadly, then quaffs a sizeable portion of the ale in one gulp. "Thank you kindly, stranger, for the best ale I've had in months. I'm afraid I can't repay you in kind now, but hope to stand you a round once I can find some work."

Neginea glances around, then leans in a bit closer. "This is the place to come for... work, right? Of the exploring and troubleshooting kind?"
