[LPF] The Mightiest Weapon

[Systole]

Daylily quaffs the drink, but as soon as sweet wine touches his tongue, his eyes go wide and his cheeks bulge. Unceremoniously, he spews the entire mouthful back into the glass and spends a half minute spitting to get rid of the taste.

"What is this disgust liquid!? Is taste like rot and death-berry!" He glares suspiciously at the halfling, and puts the glass down. He then takes a pinch of a reddish weed out of a belt pouch and begins to chew it irritably.

OOC: [MENTION=34958]Deuce Traveler[/MENTION] Daylily has some things to discuss after the halfling leaves. Is he still here? Daylily is using a barbarian chew. On the off chance there's combat in the next hour, it grants a round of lingering rage after points stop being spent.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

"It...it's a fine wine, sir! Le Rot Amor is famous throughout the region. Sir... you... you're ruining the carpets," the servant stammers horrified at the spitting. "I'll get you some water... and a rag for the carpet!"

The halfling quickly rushes out.

 

[Systole]

Daylily snorts as the halfling rushes out. "The killings of Frickards is much important, yes? So why is the goose-hunter make us waits? And giving us bad poison drink, too. I am think he is try to make us sick, maybe sleeping, then he does not needs to talking to us."

He looks at the door the halfling went through. "The goose-hunter Feen-dor is in this housing, yes? Maybes we should going to finding him now. Without wait, without drink."

 

[Qik]

Quioan ponders what Daylily has just said. "You may be right...it's certainly true that observing the formalities at a time like this seems both unnecessary and arduous. But at the same time, people who have homes like these," says Quioan, waving his hand about, "oftentimes simply like to keep visitors waiting, regardless of the purpose of their meeting, since they feel they're important enough to see others on their own schedule." Looking at the others, he adds, "Kazanto? Old dog? Thoughts?"

Relic pours his wine into the expensive carpet with a malicious smile.

"Lead the way my wise, savage friend. Let's see what we aren't meant to see."

 

[Systole]

OOC: Dear Lord, you're taking Daylily up on his offer? Heh. Well given how terrible a decision this might end up being, I'm going to wait for [MENTION=41485]InVinoVeritas[/MENTION] to weigh in. For the record, post 99 makes Systole the player suspicious about something, but the driving force here is that Daylily the character is irritated that someone would try to make him drink riesling. Really now, what kind of crazy person serves a dessert wine to a barbarian?

 

[InVinoVeritas]

Kazanto narrows her eyes as she looks at her increasingly restive companions. She picks up a lovely lathed spindle, examining it closely, replying, "You can never be too sure about octopi. They're sneaky."

She looks expectantly at Daylily, ready to follow.

 

[Systole]

Daylily nods with approval as Relic dumps the wine onto the carpet. "Is best place for that," he says with a disgusted look at the remaining riesling.

He opens the door and heads out into the hallway. The foyer was to the left; Daylily heads to the right.

 

[jbear]

Relic follows behind, staff in one hand, the other and unfastening his component pouch.

 

[Deuce Traveler]

The party walks out of the room, looking for the study.
