(RP) Dangerous Legacy

(OOC- In this party? A 15 STR would be MONSTEROUS!!! hehe)

Sonrik grabs one of the kegs, and hoists it up on his shoulder saying, "Come now, friends. Erlik!", he says, pointing out the strapping mountain man. "Let's be good guests and help these folk celebreate...er....Tuesday." He follows Rak and the halfling down to the celebration. The young man has no intention of imbibing more than a sip of ale, and a meager meal, but very much likes to see those around him in a state of joy and contentment. For this treat, he will pitch in more than his share of work (especially if he finds a safe place to stash his mail).

"O' course!" Erlik grins happily even his concern about the impending doom becoming lessened by the wonton joy these halflings are showing. He steps up and hoists a keg onto his shoulder and then wonders about trying another

"Tuesday Night indeed! What better reason for a celebration" he says with irony sweetening his words

With the kegs handled, the grinning innkeeper bounds ahead of you, leading the way. You travel through the quaint town for a couple of blocks then the town turns away from the river but a large clearing fills the area the town would have been if not for the turn. This clearing is large and runs up to the river. There is a massive treestump, some 20 feet across that is being set up as a stage where a halfling band will play. Several halflings are setting up a dance floor, while a dozen halfling wives are preparing two long tables for food. Several itmes are already present; berry pies, a cauldron of stew, baked meats and vegitables, loaves of breads, fresh fruits, wheels of cheese and several other dishes that are not immediately obvious.

The innkeeper directs you to a table near the end of the food where he asks you to set the kegs under the table, hidden by the table cloth, with but one Keg mounted on the table for drinking. "Five kegs of honey mead is too much, but I'd like to only tap one Keg at a time. Saves on the mead, you know?" He then pulls out a miniature keg shaped box with a slit in the top. He sets it by the keg. "For donations." He explains.

At that moment, another portly halfling, well dressed with massive red sideburns and a fat "top hat" sits over curly red locks. "Mayor." The innkeeper says jovially. The mayor shakes his hand but looks at your group with a rather squinted, mistrusting eye. "These are travelers who are in my employ for the evening. By my mead, they've earned their festival this night." he says.

At those words, the mayor's face beams with happiness as he extends his hand to you. "Tis good to see new faces in Bobbit, yes indeed, Double good, yes?" The mayor says as he introduces himself as Mayor Dobbin Berrybuck. "You may call me 'Dobby", yes yes, very good." He looks at Ala and bows, "Might you honor me with a dance?" He asks her.

Krueger grunts. "Least they gots food an' drink." he says, dropping a silver coin in the slot, knowing he'll drink more than his fair share, and pours himself another tankerd of mead.

(I assume Sel'Tarien took one of the kegs?)

Sel'Tarien donates five of his silver coins before joining in on the festival, though not very eager. He does not eat or drink much, but dances a bit.

 

[Tonguez]

"Ae yes indeed" Erlik beams back at the Mayor "Dobbi, you are the leader of these good people, yes? I am honoured by your generosity towards us strangers passing for the night and here made friends."

Stepping back he scans the crowd picking to see what other activity might be going on. When he sees something of interest he takes a cup of mead leaves his donation of coin and goes to investigate...

(ooc so what else do I see?)

((The tuesday celebration is simple... food, music and dancing. It is probably the most popular of the nightly festivals mostly because it is the most simple... and usually the biggest food night. (For example, Wednesday night is Games night - various games are played; dice, gambling of all kinds, games of balance and agility, or any goofy thing a halfling thinks up and decides to set up) The halflings have finished putting up the dance floor and the band is just starting their first number. The food tables are full but there are still several halfling women coming down to the clearing ))

 

[Ashy]

Ala looks down to the halfling, her eyes glassy and glazed. Barely, she nods in the affirmative and proffers her hand, stiffly...

 

[Knight Otu]

(Day..er nightly celebrations? Sel'Tarien better not find out. )

 

[Vendetta]

"Come on, love." The mayor says to Ala, taking her by the hand and dragging her out to the dance floor. He begins a "halfling boogie" to end all halfling boogies, grinning up at the listless elfess the whole time.

((Can you imagin that... nightly celebrations... leave it to halflings... if everything wasn't so small, it'd be a great partly place ))

Rak trows two silver coins in the box. He handels to get some wine and meat and sitts down to enjoy the first act.
