(Tavern) City of Orussus, The Red Dragon Inn VI

[Pbartender]

Ooc, if this coom thing doesn't get started soon, do you guys have room for a 7' Orc?

OOC: As with all PbP games, patience is they byword.

Jack, wondering why Lady Fant ever decided to stop by that frou-frou beauty salon, leaves word for her with Joe that he's gone off to the Hyrag job. He quietly slips off his stool and out the front door.

 

[Sparky]

Joe nods at Jack as the halfling slips off the barstool and leaves.

Looking up from his endless polishing of mugs behind the gleaming bar, Joe spies the restive full-blooded orc. He's seen unpleasantness arise from orc boredom and decides to nip it in the bud - and get some belated spring cleaning done! He calls over to Grogg. "Hey, Grogg, son of Grogg, I've got some kegs in the cellar that need moved. It'd take three men and a boy to move 'em, but by the looks of you, just one of you will do. Care to help me out? I'd be grateful."

Joe's gratitude might as well be currency in Orussus.

OOC: As Pbartender says, patience is key in PbP. But, for the moment, I'll try to help liven things up here until Thomas Hobbes and Coom take off and get the Tavern goings on back to IC interactions.

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

"All riiight, my good fellows, the orc is getting restless and that's a sure a sign as any to get a move oonnnn." Coom rises. "Follow meee, follow meee...." He waves his farewell to Joe while exiting the tavern. "Truly a service to the community, my good sir, yes, a service to the community." He holds the door open for those exiting the tavern.

Fant enters through the opened door, giving a curt nod of thanks to Coom. She walks up to Joe and, remembering this time, introduces herself, albiet with less emotion involved. "I am Lady Fant of Lionel. I seek reliable employment, and I am willing to lead a number of those less expierienced that I." She heads up to Joe and asks, without much hope, about any job opportunities that might have passed her by after her brief exit. She is surprised to learn that, if nothing else, there are some connections to be made. En route to the back room, she remembers the man who had tried to catch her and Jack on the way out, and realizes that he's still here. She scans the room for him, and finds him muttering in a corner.

"Nielan, was it?" she says in a businesslike fashion. "There's a job in the offing, apparently." She holds out her hand, and it's unclear whether it's a handshake or a hand up. "Lady Fant. Care to join me?"

 

[Manzanita]

Ignatious O'Reilly

"Off wee go then." Ignatious makes to follow Coom, then pauses and hurries back to the bar. "Joe. I'm sure you remember Sara Doubletrouble, that fighter who drinks alphabetically. If you see her again soon, will you just tell her I'm off to clear up the slums? And do cut her off if she's getting tipsy. Thanks." The little halfling then turns and hurries out the door.

 

[Da Stick]

When Coom leaves the tavern Kataki follows him

 

[Kahuna Burger]

Kirin has slipped off with Cirus in the direction of the Inn's ground floor rooms with a promise to meet the other's outside.

"Yes, I'm Nielan Tal." Nielan will stand and shake the prooffered hand. "And if you have discovered a better prospect than the last two that have sullied this tavern, I would be happy to accompany you."

 

[DM-Rocco]

Grogg, Son of Grogg, sits up and takes notice of those that are to follow Mr. Croom out the door. He stretches his massive frame and walks over to Joe and playfully slaps him in friendship on the back.


"Me go now Joe, me see you later," he says and follows Mr. Croom out the door.

Ooc, yahoo!!!

 

[Thomas Hobbes]

"Yes, I'm Nielan Tal." Nielan will stand and shake the prooffered hand. And if you have discovered a better prospect than the last two that have sullied this tavern, I would be happy to accompany you."

"Someone is offering a paltry sum to help him on a hunting expidition. That someone is, however, a nobleman, and speaking as member, albiet a..." she unconciously touches her signet ring, "...a member of the aristocracy, connections and previous work mean much. Besides, perhaps I can negotiate our fee upwards." She shrugs. "In any case, he went into a back room. Follow me."

Exit Stage Adventure

Cain sees Lady Fant leading the way to the back room. "Well, I just got here, but there's naught to be gained by waiting around" he reasons. Cain drains his beer, jumps down from the bar stool, and scurries after her.
