[Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXXXVI

[TechnoScrabble]

Riley wakes up, sniffling a little and rubbing his tired face on his sleeve, which only winds up leaving a streak of dust, mud, and blood across his forehead.
"'s everything better yet?"

[Rebonack]

"Oh thank you Father, I like it so much," Sadei declares with quiet joy, rubbing her face affectionately on Raril's leg.

Raven glances over her shoulder and smiles at the naming ceremony. Now she can actually call her siblings something! It'll make conversation much easier.

Back to dinosaur fights!

Rawr.

Divaonar is about to say something else when suddenly!

The door to the tavern bursts open!

And in tumbles a certain hippogriff-looking chimera locked in deadly combat with a starspawn of Basatan, Master of Crabs! The monster looks rather akin to a Chuul and smells about twelve times as offensive. The crab-spawn claws and snaps viciously at the chimera, though the beast's unnaturally tough hide is doing a pretty impressive job of absorbing the punishment.

MLH shoves the monster off himself before lashing out with the halberd-like blade at the end of his tail, neatly bisecting the monster. With a disgusting gurgle the crab-thing boils away into a heap of rotting sea-weed and a pair of gems, one yellow and one red.

The chimera grins a rather toothy grin at his fallen foe, blood of crimson and white oozing out of various cracks and gashes in his armor, before giving a wall shaking roar equal parts lion and eagle.

...and then spots Raril.

"Father!"

Raril now risks being pounced on by a full-sized chimera.

"Father father, did you see? Did you see me beat it?"

[The Bushranger]

At the entrance, fighting, Jamie dives for cover behind a table with a startled squeak!

[ApeofLight]

Foro hops up onto the counter at the fighting. And then the fighting is over... But look gems!

" Ooh, pretty gems! " The magma beast declares hopping over to scoop up and put said gems into his fez. He likes collecting gems. Just remember don't eat these ones.

That brings his total up to two purple, a blue, an orange, a red, and a yellow! He's collecting a lot of them. He likes collecting things.

" Oooh! Foro just had an idea! " He says and hops back behind the counter where he was playing with the legos. He starts to build something... who knows what though.

[TechnoScrabble]

"GYAAA!" the fight startles Riley, and he falls out of his chair. After it's done, he dusts himself off-again just spreading the mess-and gives the children an odd look.

"You...you guys are starspawn, aren't you? Do you know the one who sounds all blue and fought the cat lady?"

[Rebonack]

The hippogriff-looking chimera did in fact fight the cat lady and previously sounded blue before Rebo decided that it would be silly to make him talk in rainbow. The creature in question waves a wing at Riley.

"That's me! And you still smell weird!"

Yep.

That's totally him.

...

Eerr...

Raven is watching Riley pretty closely. She looks... black. Black skin. Black hair. Dark purple eyes. Way closer to the drow side of things than the human side of things. Does Riley still have a thing living in his arm?

Because if he does...

[TechnoScrabble]

"The thing in my arm likes you. It says you saved me...so...uh...thank you..." Riley then notices Raven staring at him.
"Um...I'm sorry to bother you, I'll go sit back down..."

[Artemis97]

Raril realizes he's about to be pounced on. "Oh gods." The drow is easily knocked to the ground.

"Yes!" He responds quickly. "I saw. You killed it good."

[Rebonack]

Sadei backed off pretty quickly when all the pouncing started. Though quite contrary to her usual shy attitude around other normal folks when the enemy starspawn showed up it was obvious that she was ready to rip the thing apart the moment MLH showed any sign of trouble.

But her brother killed it, yay.

And then Foro collected some new gems.

MLH will aim to lick Raril across the face once with his wide, raspy tongue before climbing off and plopping down on his haunches. He looks very proud of himself! Met Father for the first time and already made a good impression!

And now his chest if puffed way out and everything.

"Hey! Pssst!" Divaonar prods MLH in the flank. "Father is naming us. You need to ask for a name too!"

The chimera's eyes go wide at the thought of that! "Oooh! Do I get one too, Father?"

Raven continues to glare metaphorical daggers at Riley.

[Artemis97]

"Of course." Raril says, pushing himself into a sitting position. "You will be named... Ib'ahalii." He decides with a grin.

[The Bushranger]

Jamie peeks out from behind the table she's hiding behind, decides it's safe, and sits at it like a normal person.


The Definition Trout in the rafters stir.
Yup, they're still up there!

[Rebonack]

Divaonar, graced with heroism and the ability to encourage those around him to greatness. Greatness from within they never knew they had.

Sadei, quiet and gentle. And yet with a voice that can shatter stone and rend metal.

Raven, mysterious and dark. An angel of death on the wings of the night.

Ib'ahalii, glorious in battle and brave in conflict. With the bonds of friendship there is no adversity he can not overcome.

Yay chimeras!

"Ib'ahalii. Glory! I like it a lot! Thank you Father!"
the hippogriff replies proudly.

And then begins laughing uncontrollably.

Why?

Well, with his wings spread out like that Divaonar had taken the opportunity to jump on his brother from behind and start tickling him mercilessly.

[Gullara]

Irril belatedly beams at her father. "Thank you, Father!" And then fighting! Her brother sure is impressive. More so than his smaller sister. Thus her sneakiness.


She laughs mirthfully at her siblings' antics. This has been a good day.

[TechnoScrabble]

Riley backs away from Raven and sits down, looking around like someone who just unintentionally insulted a friend.

"Um...if...if you don't mind me asking...what did I do?"

[Zefir]

Andy just looks up to see the fight.

"Oh man that's typical for Trog's. You can met intressting persons, but you can also fight intestring persons."

He turns back to his drink befor he got involved in the fight that as far as I saw it is over.

[TechnoScrabble]

As if called by some sort of far off magic that lets her know when someone needs someone else to interact with, Ember walks on into Trog's for the first time.
And since she doesn't have a character sheet yet, allow me to describe her.

Stunning.

Seriously, how else do you expect someone who used to be the goddess of fire and love to look? The lady's got a perfect figure, hair that looks to be made of gold and molten metal, and is apparently made of fire and burning coals that somehow don't actually burn anything. She's only five foot four, but unless you don't like shorter people for some reason, that shouldn't stop her from turning heads.

"Ooh. Nice place."

[Zefir]

Andy looks around at the newcomer and is rather impressed. It's sure visible that there is a fight in his head between his knowledge of physic and magic. After all he is Stunned.

[TechnoScrabble]

Ember sits down in the comfiest seat she can find and...just looks around.

She's never actually been in a Tavern or a bar or a restaurant or anything like that before. So she doesn't look at the menu or ask for a drink or anything. It's just as well she doesn't have any money.

[Lady Serpentine]

A vaguely humanoid coagulation of mist walks in, though it probably goes unnoticed after Ember.

[Zefir]

After a while Andy catches himself. He orders a drink and goes over to Ember. he places the new ordered Drink in front of her while sitting towards her. the drink is a dragon Fire breath. (After all seems like a good drink for Fire Hair Lady)

"Hello. You seem to be new here. Maybe you need a little help for starting?"

Andy sais with a smile. Since she is a godess of Love she may npitce that Andy is still sad, but hides it under a smile.

[TechnoScrabble]

Ember does notice.

"Actually, I'm thousands of years old and can tell you need more help than I do. But thanks for the drink. What's bothering you?" Ember smiles and sips at the dragon fir breath.

[Lady Serpentine]

The mist-form walks over to the bar and orders Ichor Liquor made with Wyvern, Dire Bear, and Drake blood. He then pops back to human (See the link to Harin Grael in my signature for a description).

[Zefir]

Andy changes to a more nervouse expression for a short time. The fight in his mind has ended since it is clearly magic. Wherelse should dshe knoe that there is something wrong for him. After all his life is gone the worst case he ever thought.

"Nothing, expect the fact that a beautiful woman is sitting next to me."

Again he tries to hide this sadness behind a smile.

[TechnoScrabble]

"I've heard that one before, sorry. What's really bothering you?" Ember gives Andy a disappointed little frown.

[Lady Serpentine]

Harin, assuming that his drink is now arrived, finds a good spot to observe from, and begins looking to see if there's anyone interesting in the bar. (Fancy talk for me looking back through the thread to see who and what is in here at the moment. And if any of them look friendly enough to talk too.)

[Zefir]

Andy just looks normal and leans back in his seat.

"I don't really know what you mean. The only things that bother me are very personal."

[TechnoScrabble]

"Well, if they're that personal, I won't bother you about them any more," Ember shrugs and takes another sip of what is essentially red kool-aid.

[Zefir]

"It nothing to complex I'm just feeling useless that's all."

He don't really like to talk about it, but better cear such things fast.

[TechnoScrabble]

"Nobody's useless. What do you do for a living?" Ember props her arms up on the table.

[Lady Serpentine]

Harin, seeing no-one interesting inside, at least that isn't currently coated with globs of deadtime or otherwise occupied, mutters a word in Fogborn, and pops out.
