The Dancing Fox Inn XIX

[KerfuffleMach2]

The fly chase ends in a wall. Shaking his head, Opie looks around and decides to see if he can jump to the top of the bar from the floor. He gives it a shot.

Nope, guess not.

Zaydon has made several of his knives start racing each other along the wall near the ceiling.

[Mee]

K is unsure what to do, so he watches Opie.
EDIT: ((Deadtime, sorry.))

[KerfuffleMach2]

((No problem, I was just about to, too.))

The knives fly back to Zaydon, who pockets them and then deadtimes. Opie curls up in his lap, as usual.

[Doran_Liadon]

Mark comes in.

[Lerky]

(( wow... posting was slow today, at least that means I'll most likely be here for thread #20. I need to make thread 20, even if that means you guys spill into page 51. I got files and stuff I need to put there. ))

[Leigh]

((Lupy, you're more than fairly awesome! FF - it's true, he is... but it's a known fact that you're the only the best, and our favorite arrogant b****** around here!))

[Green-Shirt Q]

Bortak walks in to the inn and his sleeping friends Cassi and BardDog rest on his shoulders.

Maybe I should return these guys to the office......nah.

He sits down at the bar. Waiting. Then falling alseep.

BardDog wakes up and leaves the inn ((Doran said I could godmod him when he wasn't around.))

[Green-Shirt Q]

((Sorry to double post))

Bortak and Cassi wake up.

Is Mark and/or Aurea here yet? He askes sleepily.

[Doran_Liadon]

And BAM! Mark appears.

[Quinsar]

With Gloria hugging him...>.<

[Beholder1995]

The Mind Flayer enters at the same time, and seeing Gloria nearly doubles over as he chokes on the food he was chewing. He gags and looks up, then tries to inconspicuously sit down.

[Green-Shirt Q]

Hey Mark..Bortak begins What do you know about the trial with you and the mind flayer lawyer jerk? I've been given the mission to learn more about it and tell my client.

[Doran_Liadon]

Perfect! We need to talk in private. Do you know a place.
Hey Gloria!

[Green-Shirt Q]

We could talk at my shiny new office!

[Quinsar]

Het Mark...

[Beholder1995]

The Mind Flayer gets up, goes over to Mark, and blatantly interrupts his coversation.

May I speak with you?

His voice is calm... ish...

[Lerky]

Renn wakes up after 800 YEARS!!! of sleep

[Doran_Liadon]

Ooooh shiny, one second.
You too Gloria.
He walks over to the MindFlayer.

[Quinsar]

Short deadtime....

[Beholder1995]

Renn wakes up after 800 YEARS!!! of sleep

And right on cue...

The door slams open. Three of these guys:

Spoiler

Show

march through the Inn. They're about six foot four and made of clanking metal. One moves his mouthpiece and words come out:

Which one of you is Renn the Barkeep?

[Beholder1995]

Ooooh shiny, one second.
You too Gloria.
He walks over to the MindFlayer.

The Mind Flayer puts a spindly hand on Mark's shoulder, and leans in close.

Do you know how I got this? He asks, pointing to a deep (healed) gash running through his face.

[Lerky]

that...would be me...

[Green-Shirt Q]

Yeesh. Things are busy in the town tonight I tells ya.

[Beholder1995]

that...would be me...

The towering figure of the Kolyarut struts over to Renn, his cloak waving ominously.

You are the oath-breaker, then?

[Doran_Liadon]

My guess would be in a fight...

[Lerky]

Oath-Breaker!?!?!

[Beholder1995]

The Mind Flayer leans in much closer to Mark. His tentacles brush his chest.

I got this- he points to his gash again -because of that. He points at Gloria.

That should not be alive right now. he points to Gloria again.

Who raised her?

Meanwhile...

Seven years ago, you broke the promise. At last we have found you. Now you will pay, Oath-Breaker. The Kolyarut raises his short sword above Renn's head.

[Lerky]

Renn is overcome with shock and doesn't move

[Beholder1995]

Renn is overcome with shock and doesn't move

The Kolyarut brings down the short sword...

things go slo-mo...

[Lerky]

nobody makes an attempt to save the beloved barkeep
