OOC: Given the new pic, H'Roosh certainly looks like he belongs...
The place is dark inside with only a few smoky fish oil lanterns about for illumination. Most of the patrons can see in the dark. The place is fairly large, but low. Stone arches hold up the building above. A trench down the center is the only area where the ceiling is higher than 7' feet. Lots of gobins and kobolds lurk in the shadows away from the central corridor while a few ogres and bugbears hold the center. There is no 'bar' as such. Instead a half dozen goblins pour beer and ale from a cluster of large kegs off to the left. A muscular orc in chain mail with a glowing morning star sits on a large cash box with a slot in the top where the proceeds are dropped. The numerous bloodstains on the floor around him suggest that he is effective in protecting the box. On the other side of the room is a shallow pit in which a pair of female goblins, stripped to the waist and covered in oil wrestle as patrons gamble and shout encouragement. There is very little furniture here, only a few very heavily made benches. Fights are likely a common occurrence. It seems patrons bring their own mugs. There is a sign over a collection of mismatched dirty mugs and tankards scrawled 'One Copper Piece'. Likely, these belonged to previous patrons who didn't survive a fight. No one seems to take much notice of you, even though there are few humans and no other Gnomes present.

OOC: Cool pic, Mowgli! Do H'Roosh's eyes really glow like that?
OOC: I'm thinking yes. He's an outsider, with Darkvision, so why not?

OOC: Works for me.

Radoon
Radoon will reach for one of the larger mugs and deposit a copper piece in the box (I'm assuming the sign is meaning 1 CP for a mug and I am also assuming I pay the Orc?) Radoon will then proceed to the goblins to have his mug filled. He will then wait for his companions to either do the same or at least join him.

H'Roosh moves forward with Radoon, staying a little behind and to his off-hand. He remains silent, scans the room alertly, and does not take a mug.
Spot Check (1d20+12=24): Just for general purpose, being alert . . .

Zurrik Odeil
Before entering, Zurrik glances at Gnurl, "We may have to make a quick exit." Silently counting to 20, Zurrik slowly moves into the bar.
Letting his eyes adjust to the low light, Zurrik lingers near the door for a few seconds before moving next to Radoon and dropping a copper into the box before selecting a random mug. "Busted skull for me."

Gnurl Whiskerling
Gnurl stands near Zurrik and tries not to be too obvious about holding his nose. He sees Zurrik's offer of a copper when the barkeep just told them drinks were a silver. He reaches into his pouch and withdraws 2 silver, for himself and Zurrik, which he pays to the barkeep.
"And a Busted Skull for me as well, my good man!" When his drink arrives, Gnurl sips gingerly at it, while keeping his eyes peeled all around for the trouble that is sure to come soon.
