    Default Plotless v2.0.

    One day, in the town Grimthwahkle, the dwarf, Vulpastrum, was in the bar/tavern.
    Getting drunk, or, whatever he's doing.
    Maybe eating, it's hard to tell.

    Murphy was out, in the . . . uhh . . . longbow shop. Buying his longbow, which he just finished doing.
    He feels an odd tugging to go to the bar.
    But he could resist it.

    Tharivol was in the same longbow shop.
    He just finished shopping.
    He also feels that tug. But, again, resistible.

    RJ was . . . also in the tavern. Doing . . . whatever he does.
    He doesn't feel the tug. Since he's already there.

    Jack was in the church, praying.
    He feels the tug too.
    Again, resistible.

    ((Note: None of you know each other.
    And the adventure won't start until you're all in the tavern.
    And I'll describe the tavern in the next post.
    Nothing else needs descriptions, unless you start exploring.
    Like a few people that I normally DM for.))

    The players:

    Firefox: Vulpastrum.

    It's a tavern.
    About 30 by 50 feet, with various NPCs in it, most eating, drinking, and a few playing poker.
    Feel free to join, if you want.

    RJ Maeve

    "Hey cutie," RJ began, scooting his way into a nearby seat beside a rather lanky gnome woman, aptly garbed in adventuring wear of the studded leather variety, poorly complimenting her figure and leaving a lot to the imagination... but RJ, frankly, didn't really care. He wasn't picky in the least, so long as they didnt look like an orc and didnt smell of elderberries. "Wanna go up to my room and see my Rod of Enlargement?"

    And so it began anew. Every day it was the same, dreary routine: RJ would wake up, pay his daily rent early with what little coin he had left, and then proceed to attempt to pick up any number of women that seemed like the adventurous sort. In this particular case, Gloria the gnome rogue wasn't too terribly inticed by RJ's nymphish ways. With one, swift kick, she landed a solid blow right where the sun doesnt shine, and moves on to sit with the rest of her party, cheap booze in tow.

    "So I take it that's a maybe?" the unrelenting rogue squeaks out between throbs of pain, both to his pride and body as he battles to stay on his stool. If it weren't for that small, almost non-existant shred of dignity the poor beguiler had, he'd have long since used his magic for his own social means... but that kinda ruins half the fun.

    Tharivol Siannodel, Summoner

    A twitch of annoyance caused his right eye and ear to fidget as he subconsciously attempted to determine the cause of this strange feeling. He had wanted to examine the bow further and perhaps test its remarkable craftsmanship in conjunction with his elven grace once more but now he was simply annoyed. He nodded to the bowyer in thanks in the wake of the completed transaction and he himself heads outside. He pauses for a moment and snaps towards a mound of snow and ice which they begins to move! Shaking free a layer of frost something that appears to be a camel made entirely of the deepest blue ice wanders over to Tharivol and makes a strange lowing noise mixed with the cracking of ice. He scratches the ice camel upon the head and heads off to find the cause of this damnable sensation in his skull.

    Jack

    He had been praying at the temple for a long time now, finally after hours of this he felt a pull and a tug. A feeling, he needed to do something, and the gods were telling him this. He could resist it, but why! They clearly wanted something of him, now what? He quickly got up and took one last look at the altar. Finally he made his way out of the temple, a bit of ale might help him think about what mighty deed the gods needed him to do. After leaving the temple he heads to the nearest tavern all the while whistling a little tune.

    Murphy

    Murphy looks down to his handful of change as he exits the store. Great, he thinks, another blasted foreign coin! Now what forsaken shopkeep would ever take such a thing - blast it all. His hellborn eyes blaze with infernal energies for but a moment. The blaze frightens a nearby black cat who runs off, tripping a errand boy carrying a load of china, whose shattering smash startles a nearby cart-horse, who takes off feverishly through the streets sending the young lovers smooching in the wagon's rear tumbling over the rear railing, whose fall startles a nearby pigeon, who flies over Murphy and defecates on his shoulder.

    As he broods and storms his way out of the market area he feels the tug. The pull that could mean only one thing. Someone must be gambling nearby and calling on Luck. This must be stopped. He stalks this feeling until it brings him before the tavern.

    Once everyone is in the tavern, a cry of: "Food for all!" From a rich looking NPC.

    A few minutes later, food is brought to everyone.

    ((Note: If you didn't see, the PCs don't know each other.
    So I would recommend talking to each other over the food.))

    Tharivol

    The large ice-camel is left outside once again to do whatever it is an ice-construct does while the summoner heads inside. He raises a brow at the strange offering of food for all and calmly takes a seat to look over the food briefly. A shimmer of light runs over his right and and he quickly surveys the offering to check for poisons. He does not expect it to be poisoned but the offering from nowhere without an explanation seems strange.

    The Hellborn takes a plate and while heading back to his seat stumbles over Tharivol. A small bit of food now stains Murphy's tunic next to the bird feces.

    "Sorry mate. Things never go smoothly for me lately. Here hoping none of this mess got you." he apologizes to the man as he sits near him.

    Jack the Paladin walks into the bar just in time to hear the announcement of freed food and beer, mainly beer. He quickly walks over to some funny looking people and sits down, his immense size due to his bulky armor offends some people as they have to squeeze over to fit him in. After he is seated he immediately starts having his fill of all the local beverages of choice.

    OCC: Okay Jack is going to be drinking the strongest stuff at the table. Will a fortitude save be needed? Also I am back.

    ((Save DC against taking 1d2 Wis and Dex varies from 10 to 15 depending on the strength of the alcohol. Weak ale is a mere ten where dangerously strong spirits are a 15. Some unique ales have alternate effects. For each pint (or shot, or other unit of measure) you drink within one hour after the first you take a penalty on the save. 1st no penalty, 2nd -1, 3rd -2, 4th -4, 5th -8, etc. Best this place should have is maybe a 13 if they have dwarven lager.))
