Entering the tavern, Rockslide observes flurry of missiles silently. After it is over, he goes over to take a free seat on nearby table.

"Ale, dwarven if you have it."

My other character didn't level up yet, so just taking space...

Gloom looks at the people gathering around the dart board. He turns toward Zharne "And what are they doing? Are they trying to destroy that circle? Wierd game I will tell." He then takes his mug and finish it. H emakes a sign at the waitress. "Miss, another mug. Your dwarven spirit is pretty good."
 

The door opens and messenger comes in, a slight young elf wearing the light riding leathers of her trade. She scans a slip of paper and announces, "Are Mikara li Mesadh and Tristan Moonblade here? Message for them from the office of the Mayor."

[sblock=ooc]This is a hook for the two PCs mentioned, working them into Love Bites. Sorry, no other spots open at the moment.[/sblock]
 

"The Mayor?" Tristan looks puzzled, but with a glance to Mikara he realizes he should probably take the message before Mikara if it is to make any sense. "Maybe he'll send me away from this city ... wouldn't be so bad," the elf mutters under his breath as he stands and walks towards the messenger.

"Yes, I am Tristan. So what does the mayor want from me?" he asks, his tone making it clear he's only bored and not actually very interested in the mayor.
 

"To speak to you in private, if you're willing," the messenger answers. "Beyond that, I don't know. You'll have to ask him. Is your comrade here, this Mikara?"
 

Oh Dayna! what did I do now!

Mikara raises a lazy hand from her table "Aye. Putts the warble yum!?" She gets up does a little better than a stagger over to the man. Her breath reeks of ale. "hhhhhhhhhhowwww may I see a fur bus?" she manages a low bow (not that low).
 

Tristan sighs. "This would be Mikara." He leans in to Mikara's ear and whispers, "So am I going to have to carry you out of here? How many did you have?" He turns back to the messenger and says, "I suppose we might as well go see what he wants ... at least it'll get us out of this giant box." Tristan throws a wink at the messenger, smiles wryly and motions for her to lead on.
 

As the adventurers open the door to leave, a bright red gnome slides past them into the bar. Bright red as in tomato or strawberry colored. With green hair, and an outlandish green shirt that looks like it's made of leaves. Looking around, he spots another gnome at the bar and moves toward Jekal.

The red gnome waves his hand and a larger, ghostly hand moves out and tips the barstool down so that he can easily climb onto it. He grabs the edge of the bar and pulls self and stool to its normal upright position, assisted by the translucent hand.

As the hand dissolves into air, he speaks. Why don't they make any furniture for us? Our coins are the same size as theirs, after all! I'm Grigo, but people call me Stickbug. It's an old childhood nickname. My dad gave it to me. My dad's name is Fillo Deeproot; if you are a connoisseur of art you might know his paintings. Do you like paintings? I tried to paint, but things never came out quite right. Noses especially. It's very hard to paint a realistic nose. Mine always come out too long, or too fat. Kind of like that guy's nose over there. He jerks his chin in the general direction of Rockslide. Now that is an unrealistic nose; I bet even I could paint him.

And who might you be? I thought I knew all the gnomes around here. Bartender, do you have any fruit juice? It's Fruit Day, and I'm celebrating. Though I seem to be the only one in costume; not much festive spirit around here I guess.


(OOC: You have never heard of Fruit Day)

"For an unrealistic one, just cross your eyes! Maybe you can't paint another because your own gets in the way."
Responds the dwarf gruffly.

Still, he sits more upright and his eyes alight from his brooding earlier.

OOC: yes, I know it's not personal, just game, this is IC :P Think Peter Pan jibe contest with Roofio
