Tales From The Old Bald One-Eyed Salty Red Dog Tavern! (chapter 1, now closed)

[sblock]OOC: Woo-hoo! Look at everyone shop, fun, fun! BUT . . . oh crap!
Bill suddenly remembers that he told Desert he would be at The Old Bald for an hour or two. If it has been less than that (which I suspect it has), he will run back over there, but only if, after a look around Grey Minstrel he doesn't see Desert there. If Desert is at the Grey Minstrel, then he'll smile and wave at him and then go about trying to get a room.

If Desert's at the Old Bald, then Bill will try to get him to come on over to the Grey Minstrel to get a room for the night.

If Desert's not at the Grey Minstrel OR the Old Bald, Bill'll find Muirna and say, "Hello again! Have you seen that odd fellow back in here? The one in the patchwork clothing, a bit tattered, one might say? Well, I'm going to wait around for him for a little while, but if you see him before I do, please point me out to him. Thanks, you're a doll. Oh, and I guess I'll need a drink while I wait." If/when she's not busy, then he'll add, "and some company," and make small talk for a while, looking for any clues about what she knows of the bar's original owner, because Bill'll tell her about how he had heard he was pretty cool, for, [highlight]"You know, this guy."[/highlight] After about an hour, if Desert still hasn't shown and Bill hasn't received word, he'll head back over to the Grey Minstrel.[/sblock]

"You wonderful, wonderful, beautiful lady....Would you in any way consider helping me to try to get these finished by the morrow? Or at the very least gainfully started.... I would consider it a personal favor."

"My dahlink, you push too hard! But I accept." She smiles graciously.

"I was thinking of a cut of uniform where the pants were a blue base with a black billow, like these...and the shirt would be a black base with red billows in the sleeves. Now I know that I can make them, but the time involved would be shortened considerably with the assistance of a skilled and beautiful seamstress such as yourself."

She smiles coquettishly and gestures for you to continue.

"I also need a uniform for a lady that prefers to show more flesh then uniform. I was thinking a halter top of black and red trim and maybe slit side pants with the black color and a blue trim..."

<pulling out book and showing pictures> "So you see I am in quite a quandry as I have myself, berzerker bill, desert, K., richard, and that slightly creepy fellow with the book. Hmmm. I could also do with a simple cape for each of us and a hat that will keep the sun out of our eyes. So 6 uniforms, 1 female, the other 5 male... and six capes and hats... Now the female one I was thinking maybe lace to outfit the belly area and the slits in the legs...."

"Ah, zese drawings vill do nicely. My only reqvirement iz zat I must zee zese peoples so zat I may take ze measurements. Lead on, you beautiful paragon of elven style! I vill close ze shop and begin immediately." She motions for you to lead on.

[sblock]"M...M...M...Make it t...t...ten if you p..p..please."

"Ten!" She pops back around and gives you a smile. "Sure thing, ten sunrods, coming up. You're lucky, there's a price break for ten." You hear her digging through some crates and she returns momentarily with the items. "There you go! That'll be 18 gold. What else can I get for you?"[/sblock]

Lazlow::

[sblock]I keep up a slightly useless steady stream of talk....complimenting her shop and her good taste and such... I head towards 'The Old Bald One-Eyed Salty Red Dog Tavern' and see if anyone is there...
"...so you see my lady that the general output of 2 human nations is required to feed those brutish orcs. Ah, here we are." [/sblock]
I open the door and allow her to enter first. I then turn towards Muira (the Hostess right?) or the dour dwarf if I see none that I recognize. (insert the following if needed)
"Kind Dwarf, have you seen all of the other deputies? And Mr. Bill? I seek to get their measurments for the uniforms. I also would like to buy the lovely lady following me an elven wine or the house best. NOT the house special mind you."

[sblock]Any folks that I find I will need to cajole them into allowing a fitting....Hmmmm...[/sblock]

Piecing together this timetable as best I can, and assuming Desert wraps up what he's doing right now and heads back, I think he'll be back to the tavern by the time you return from talking with the guards at the barricade. If that's the case (when RR replies to my latest post for him), then I'll follow your directions above.[/sblock]

The Speaker suddenly wakes up from where he has been taking a short nap in the tavern, "Damn that narcolepsy, always strikes at the wrong time." He looks around picking up the things in front of him, looking curiously at the block of wood.

[sblock]"N...N...Nothing at all. I was toll...toll...told to get a lightsource." Hands over 20 gp. "Thank you for your help. Please keep the extra 2 coins, If I...I...I...I need anything I...I...I will return."[/sblock]

Desert returns to the bar. Walking in his eyeys are unaccostomed to the darkness so he immediately says in a loud voice, "M....M....Mi....Mister Share...Share...Share...Sherifffff...ffff.... Mister Sheriff Bill, I...I...I...I... am b...b....b...b...b...b...back. I ...I...I...I...went to go get some light because I...I...I...I...have problems at night. Yes sir I...I...I...I... am b...b....b....b....back. Are you there? I...I...I...I can't see you just yet."

Noted. K pauses a second to see if anything comes from it. Richard still following, she then heads to the Farmers market. There she will look for some dried foods(trail rations).

You see the small person (whom you figure to be a halfling female) lead Desert by the hand into a shop on the corner. Apparently she wasn't all that upset over being tripped over.

At the Farmer's Market you find a vast array of delectable dried victuals. For a small town, there is a considerable variety of food here, both preserved and perishable, and you easily stock up a few day's worth of provisions.

As you're perusing the stalls, you can't help but overhear a few interesting bits of conversation here and there. You gather that most of the townspeople are worried about the growing threat of goblinoid raiders, and that their raids have been becoming more and more frequent as of late. Many people wonder if the Town Guard will be able to deal with the threat for much longer. One name that continues to pop up is that of Sir Dudley; apparently, he's long been the sworn protector of this community, but he recently left under strange circumstances and hasn't been seen or heard from for a number of weeks now.[/sblock]
