The Sudden Approach of Unexplainable Power: IC

[Nonlethal Force]

Tiergar laughs. "Aye, I suppose it does take a bit of getting used to, what with it being so violent and all. Good thing that there be a temple of Kord that helps to keep this place open. Granted, a club like this is hardly legal - mind you. But rumor on the street is that the priests of Kord be always looking for pugilists with fervor. It is said that they are the ones that be requiring the no weapons policy. They supposedly take the unconscious victims back to the temple and heal mend their wounds. The victors that they are impressed with are noted. If the fight often enough and impress the priests, they might be inviting them to the temple. Of course, that be purely heresay because this club be not existing, anyway!"

“Good to hear, but I’ll not be taking any chances on supposedly here tonight... seeing as I have such an important task before me tomorrow,” Aekalos offers shrewdly, chuckling as he adds, “so it’ll just be my money fighting tonight, though at the moment it seems it’s struggling to hold it’s own.”

Badrick smiles. "Aye, the safest bets on the ale. At least there you know that you're goig to feel the loss of the money!"

[Sblock=OOC]So is Aekalos a beting man and would like to have a go at a few more fights? Or perhaps there is more information he requires? Or shall we shoot forward?[/Sblock]

 

[unleashed]

“So, do you know where these orcs are located exactly gentlemen, as that will expedite my task?” Aekalos asks, as he awaits the next fight.

[SBLOCK=OOC]Let’s keep going with the fights for a little while and see if he can lose some more money, while he enjoys the scenery and a few drinks. [/SBLOCK]

 

[Nonlethal Force]

[Sblock]Fine by me. Just let me know if you get a bit bored. Otherwise, I'll just keep feeding you answers where appropriate.[/Sblock]

Merrick replies, "The orcs lie to the west. The road leading from Partuss to Bacrothen be bending to the south just before there be another path leading to the cap'tal city of Eberdeen. At that intersection you'll be finding the small suburb of Eberdeen called Janston. Travel past Janston and if you don't find the orcs to the south of the road, they'll be finding you."

As Merrick speaks, the busty waitress returns back to the table. "Sorry hun, but it looks like you'll pay the house this time." She turns to the sea dogs and adds, "Once we collect, I'll be back with your reward."

 

[unleashed]

Aekalos hands over the two blue quartz he already had in his hand from earlier, lingering momentarily as he deposits the gems in her hand, “Ah well, I guess I can’t win all the time after all...though having you collect when I lose, does reduce the pain quite a bit,” he remarks with a grin.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

The waitress smiles. "Hun, as long as you keep putting money in my hand you can look till your eyes fall out. After all," Her eyes discintivly drop lower on Aekalos, "No harm ever comes from looking." She smiles.

 

[unleashed]

“Guess I’ll be betting all night then, and you can certainly look all you like too, my lovely,” he chuckles, as her eyes drop to examine him. “Though I hope my eyes don’t fall out, as that would certainly spoil a most agreeable view,” he adds playfully, looking at her over his ale as he takes a drink.

 

[Nonlethal Force]

She nods at the suggestive words and lingers until Aekalos has a good long look at her. Once his eyes dart away, the wairess heads to another table.

"Fine specimens of life, especially the ones that don't mind that we be looking!" Tiergar adds as he lifts up the mug of ale.

Merrick returns the conversation back to its original topic. "The road should be safe from orcs between Partuss and Janston. That doesn't mean the road is safe, mind you - just safe from orcs. Unless you've got more skills at fighting than you present you might do well to find some travelors to band up with or hire yourself a bit of a group if nothing else to beef up your numbers. Even a party of four or six is much more likely to scare away the wild animals and especially the rogue highwaymen."

 

[unleashed]

Giving the waitress a final once over, Aekalos winks at her, before letting his eyes wander to his companions, “Think I’d better rest my eyes for a moment or two, just in case...” he chuckles.

“Can’t disagree with you there Tiergar,” he grins, lifting his mug slightly in response, before placing it back on the table.

“You may be right, Merrick... I guess I’ll see what presents itself in the morning and work from there. Who knows, I may be lucky enough to find a few merchants with guards, who won’t mind me tagging along.”
