D&D 5E (2014) The Fifth City - Episode 1: The Gathering

Amisi cannot hide her excitement as they enter the Green Hippogriff. The crowds, the entertainment, the food and drink flowing, even the smell that assaulted her nose made her giddy. She didn't seem concerned at all that she was overdressed for this place. The only thing that seemed to bother her somewhat were the tight areas, the places where people squished together and bumped into her. She would jump a little bit but then pretend to take it in stride. The more time the group was there though the less nervous she seemed with the jostling.

She follows the boys over to the table. "Ohh! I'm trying some of that Halfing brandy! Definitely!" Her eyes are moving everywhere, trying to take it all in. "I'm getting a drink! Anyone want anything? No, okay!" She hurries off without taking any orders but then calls back over her shoulder, "Save me a seat!!"

She dodges her way over to the bar, trying not to touch anyone else. She orders her brandy and realizing she forgot to get the other's orders, she orders ale to be delivered to the table for the boys. A few men try to speak to her and she is friendly but again, doesn't let anyone too close. Once her brandy is ready she returns to the table.

She sits, noticing Felix and Marcus are busy looking around. She stares at the brandy in her hands for a long moment before finally taking a small sip. She coughs a little and looks at the glass again. She takes a deep breath in then takes a much bigger drink the second time. She tries not to make a face as it goes down and says, "This tastes good," hesitantly.

Korgon laughs a bit, good , naturedly at Amisi. He smiles at her as his own ale comes and he downs a good third of it in a long steady drink before putting it down and grinning at his compatriots.
 

Amisi's eyes go wide at the barbarian's seemingly uncouth way to drink. "How do you get so much down at once??" She looks into her own glass then attempts to copy Korgon somewhat, at least with a larger drink. This of course leads to more coughing.
 

Korgon laughs again. "No lass. Brandy you only sip. Ale goes down much easier." he says pushing his mug across the table to Amisi.
 

Markus is about to have Amisi bring him a brandy as well, but she has spirited off before he gets a sound out. Instead he catches a bar maid and orders a two finger of the same. He waits by looking about to see what else is going on.

Upon arrival of his drink he demonstrates the proper way to enjoy fine spirit: he opens his mouth and inhales through his nose and mouth, letting the boutique drift across his pallet. He smiles at the various essencies, actually being surprised at the combination of floral and salty elements. His first drink is a sip, and so are all of his subsequent drinks of it.
 


Amisi takes Korgon's ale reluctantly while she watches Makcus sip his brandy reservedly. She decides to try the ale. She takes a big gulp like Korgon did and immediately spits it out all over the table. "OH!!!" She takes some napkins and cleans herself up and the table. "You lied!" she shouted at Korgon, "That BURNED! Surely it was not meant to drink like that!" She scrubs hard but there is no way the dirty table is getting clean.

She sits dejected. "I'm not very good at this."

OOC: [MENTION=6777934]Maldavos[/MENTION], are you still with us?

Markus notices an icy glare from N'Grath directed at Felix after his seat was bumped. N'Grath goes back to holding court, so to speak, at his table with four ne'er-do-wells that look to be common ruffians.

As the dancer, Adira, finishes, Ambassador Mollari applauds loudly and tosses several coins on to the stage for her. Already tipsy, the ambassador orders another round...for everyone.

"Drinks! Drinks for all of my dear friends!"

Mollari spots Felix and starts wobbling his way toward him.
