    "Sneaking, stealing, shooting, unlocking, and NOT being named after an article of clothing." Justin answers, the tiniest bit of edge in his voice after being called jumpsuit. "Call me Blondie, if you're not interested in my real name. What good are you short-stack?" he asks. Reaching into his bag, he wriggles out a bag of sugary candy.

    Nycca blinks behind her shades.
    Great.
    Now two people would be bickering constantly with the gnome. Exactly what this adventure needed.

    "Nice to meet you Polliwopple. I'm Justin." he sticks out his hand for a handshake. "I'm not a bad knife-man myself. Haven't done it in forever, though." No problem with a little healthy group bickering. Builds bonds.

    Polliwopple's face changes abruptly from angry and defiant to confused.

    Why is this person acting nice? Never happened before.

    What is this? Some kind of trick?

    ((Oh yeah, here's his bio.))

    "Umm, no?" Justin asks, unsure of why he's so angry. He looks at his hand curiously. Was he wearing a joy buzzer? No. He wasn't. "Does your culture not have handshakes? That's happened a few times before."

    Don't try and fool me! You're trying to get my fingers!

    Polliwopple lifts up his left hand, which has its little finger and ring finger missing.

    I know a finger-cutter when I see it! Don't try 'n pull a fast one.

    Finger Cutter? What? That's the first time he's ever been called something like that. "What's a finger cutter?" he asks innocently. "I don't have any blades on me," he adds pulling up his sleeves, revealing nothing but his arms and his pip-boy on his left wrist. "And we're going to be working together, why the hell would I want your fingers?"

    Wait!

    This isn't a bluff with a forest!

    This is Trog's Tavern!

    Seems the Dreamer snapped back to 'reality' again.

    And just in time, too! The drow didn't get soaked by the incoming tide.

    "Huh, back here again?" the young man muses as he take a notepad from a nearby octopus and examines it. The numbers on the pad are complete gibberish and they don't seem too content to hold still.

    "Yep. Fourteen cakes, easily."


    The nearby bickering party-to-be is regarded curiously by the totally normal human who seems to be surrounded by oddness.

    This remark seems to infuriate Samantha "Traitor! How dare you, you ignorant swine! You have no idea what you're speaking of.My father was a King for your information, so will you still call him a traitor? As for our magic, it is only enhanced by our blood, but we were disciplined just like any human wizard. The reason we have such high power is not due to privilege but the result of years of hard work, something I'm sure you know nothing about, you self-righteous fool. Years of practice has resulted in our powers,powers taught to us by ancient spirits your race still remains deaf to. We could do things you two could only imagine in your wildest dreams, you racist, condescending, narcissistic..."
    Her rambling seems to go off on a tangent as she goes to follow the pair, but Samuel holds her by the arm and shakes his head. He sits back down and continues to read as if nothing happened, while Samantha seems to fume for a few moments. Her gaze steadily turns to the other elf who was involved in the brawl [Chas], and she gives him an approving smile.

    Meli's face brightens in understanding at Louis explanation, quickly writing a reply.

    "Oh, that is a very good idea. Is it common in your world?"

    Meli is a bit hesitant about writing the last question, paying close attention to Loui's reaction. It seems a bit rude to ask, but Meli is quite curious.


    Meanwhile, at the table of adventure, Lewis returns with a mug of a mysterious liquid, bought at the bar to inspect the swirly colours and enchanted froth in the bottles on display before choosing.

    "Who is trying to steal fingers? Is it the Hundred Years' War on Thunderhead?"

    Sipping the unknown drink, the Pixie keeps an eye out for looks of confusion or recognition on Polliwopple and Justin's faces. An eerie glow comes from the drink, but its drinker seems optimistically unaware of the proper caution to take for the menu in Trog's.

    A rather tall woman with short brown hair, wearing black mage's robes, with a complex dark grey and purple pattern on them, and a large leather bag, much like a computer case, over one shoulder, enters.

    Approaching the table with the adventurers at it, she smiles at Nycca, going to take a seat next to her, should there be one available.

    Meanwhile, on the other side of the tavern, Tirin remains quiet for now, the recent fighting having apparently made him a bit twitchy, judging by the way he's examining anyone who gets near them.

    Katsu rising about half a metre in the air to bow to Talina, skilfully avoiding losing any of the glowing drink. Grinning beneath the now-pushed-up-on-the-forehead pilot's goggles, Katsu greets the intrinsically-robed mage.

    "Lewis Wyllt, Pixie, car mechanic and explorer. Great pleasure to meet you too, Talina"

    Floating back down, the Pixie takes another sip of the drink. This time suddenly twitching and giving the mug a look of surprise. It has suddenly been covered in frost, even turning Lewis' breath to mist.

    Seems it was a very literal-minded Wizard Blizzard.

    "Yes, I am Abraxes Foxwood. You are the mage to be joining us, then?" The question answers itself, since she wears mage's robes. He glances around the table. "So...is this our motley crew? No men-at-arms (aside from myself), no proper archers?" He shakes his head. "I suppose that's of no matter, at this point. Are you about ready to leave, Madam?"

    Not necessarily. She could just find them more comfortable.

    "I am the mage,"
    Talina says, glaring at the gnome, who may find himself being shoved rather hard against the back of his chair. "And you are the one who needs to stop trying to antagonize the rest of the group, yes?"

    Fortunately, Nycca intervenes before Talina has a chance to do anything further, so he doesn't end up being held against one of the rafters; for now, the mage simply stays quiet, letting her more level-headed girlfriend handle the situation for now.

    The half-orc glares at Polli, but Nycca's scolding seems to cool him down. "So, there is another coming? Do you know who - or what - this other is?" They've had an odd group so far. Who knows, maybe the next person coming would be a dragon?

    smile Re: [Nexus] Trog's Tavern CCXLIII

    Lewis, surprisingly enough still holding the frozen mug, smirks as Abraxes speaks. Responding with a tone indicating that the Pixie knows something the half-Orc does not.

    "I wouldn't be so sure about lacking men-O-arms if I were you, granola."

    Taking a large gulp of the freezing Wizard Blizzard, and shivering with cold, Lewis gives Polliwopple a friendly smile.

    "D-don't b-be sorry, most beans would be jumpy if people are after their fingers. At least if they are not Pixies or Trolls, from my experience."

    The hippie-looking Pixie says, adding the last sentence in an anecdotal manner.

    An then I saw Keveak in the sorting hat and you are just the cutest thing when you want to be. My gosh look at that. It's squee-inducing.

    Polliwopple looks up and raises an eyebrow in confusion.

    Pixies can still lose fingers in a reasonable trap, just make it a little smaller.

    This is the thief who likes to hoard,
    That loves the bard with the puppet Lord
    That admires the fighter with the green-hilted sword,
    That employs the Wizard, whose bird is ignored,
    That has the gender unexplored
    That intrigues the Halfling, usually bored,
    That slew a mountain of the goblin horde,
    That follows the cleric,
    That serves the lich,
    That seeks the gate,
    That guards the snarl,
    That lives in the prison the gods built.


    guess what I was gone but now I'm back
