Default [Nexus] The Black Dragon's Den X


This old warehouse by the docks and on the edge of the city slums has numerous secret passageways and tunnels leading to it. When you walk in, either from the street or below, you see a freshly cleaned interior that actually looks somewhat welcoming, however, as a seedy hive of smugglers, pirates, and home of the local wererat assassin guild; this is a rough place to have a drink.

The back half of the building has been converted into a set of rooms, used by those who need a bit of privacy, whether to have a private card game, hold a secret meeting, or just to get away from the world while enjoying a dose of some of the more exotic items the Den serves. We don't care what you do here, just don't leave a mess. Just keep in mind, the walls are a little thin back there, and can be listened through (or busted through), so be careful.

The gambling scene is lively here, with craps, three-dragon ante, and darts, among other things. There are certainly not knife-fights held in the ring in the basement. Come early for a ringside seat. Gambling is permitted. Anyone caught betting against themselves will be killed, or worse. So don't do it.

The servers are all NPC goblins. They are: Blackeye, Hooktooth, and Daggernose.
The cook is a goblin woman named Sicklewort.
The NPC bouncer is Gnarl, the orc.

Floorplan:
Spoiler

The menu is as follows:

Drinks

Common Drinks
All the common drinks are available in an extremely wide range of qualities, brands, and prices. Just remember- you pay for what you get.
Spoiler


Specialty Drinks
The specialty drinks are either crafted here or ordered specially from other sources. Normally they are higher class and more palatable, but that is not always the case...
Spoiler



Other

Food
Like the drinks, the food ranges in quality and price... the menu is currently under improvement.
Spoiler


Mushrooms
Our mushrooms are well acclaimed for their taste and subtle poisons. If you have enemies, make sure they you didn't get something other than what you asked for...
Spoiler


Drink Additives
Buy them for your drink, or for someone else's drink... everything goes here.
Spoiler


Other Drugs
If it doesn't get you drunk, and it isn't a mushroom... we still sell it.
Spoiler


Games
As a new addition to the Black Dragon's Den, there is a back room where all kinds of gaming take place. Goblins generally oversee the games and make sure things are fair... but everyone here can be bribed. Best to keep an eye on things yourself.

Card Games
-Coming Soon-

Dice Games
We provide all of the dice used here... unless you slip them out of our sleeve. "Better" dice can be bought with a quiet word and a few coin, though we don't provide protection from those who find out that you've used them.

Coin Pass
Spoiler


Serpent's Eyes
Spoiler


Warship

Other Games
These may be more or less 'games' as such... but are just as entertaining.

Darts

"So how does Mrs. Mithar fall into this, then?"

The cyborg does his best not to let it show, but he doesn't exactly trust Cessie or her husband Harnel. Cessie more so than Harnel, as she's clearly the more devious, underhanded and crafty the the undoubtedly nefarious and secretive duo.

I'm flattered by your high opinion on our operation. But yes. Let's take this negotiation somewhere private, and there I hope you'll provide me with some more tangible reason I should trust you or work with you, Dipsnig says. Right now, he's skeptical.

[Private Room]

Mr.Winters escorts Morty to one of private room. The room has a table with a black table cloth over it, 2 chairs on either side of the table, a platter in the middle of the table with assorted fruits and meats, and a pitcher of water with 2 glasses. Mr.Winters takes his seat and on the right side. "I never said you should trust me, I said you should work with me. The moment you trust someone in buisness is the moment they take advantage of you. All you can trust about me is that when I say I will do something it gets done." Mr.Winters says as laces his fingers and leaves his hands at rest on the table while waiting for the response.

[Private Room]

Dipsnig takes a seat and peers at Mr. Winters for a while. His wolf lies down under his feet, meanwhile. Yet I don't see any reason to believe that as well. So far, you've only given me words. How do I know you can really get the job done?

"It's what I do. I mean my first job was to get you here and here you sit." Mr.Winters says calmly with no pride in his voice, "What I am is a person who makes things happen, in a wolrd of rule and regulations I walk between the raindrops. In essence I could have went to any organization in town but I came to your because the chances of succeding with NO is higher then the other goody-two shoes or evil drama queens." He pauses for a moment to pull out 2 letters and slides them across to Dipsnig

Dipsnig sighs. More words. He needs proof. He silently opens one of the letters, hoping to find something actually tangible.

She smiles at him. An attractive drow coming over and flirting with her, that arouses her suspicion, especially in a place like this. She took a guess that he was here to spy for some one, either on her or someone else. She took a guess.
"I'm glad you think so." Kirk is once again momentarily distracted when Dipsnig departs to the back room. The drow shakes his head and doesn't worry about it. He is sure to keep track of how long Dipsnig is in there, however.

I haven't had a real conversation with someone in a long time, it's interesting, if a bit weird. I forgot just how different it is, and not being able to pick up anything off you is just the icing on the cake.

She shrugs, plus he keeps buying her drinks.

"Consider it practice. It's a handy skill being able to read peoples' faces." Of course Kirk has careful control of his expression and is consequently very hard to read when he wants to hide something.

I know, I am actually quite good at it. I just put the face and the emotion together usually. But the face can be trickier then you might think. Especially when you run into a race you aren't used to dealing with. And damage to the face can also make it harder to read, and it doesn't have to be to obvious either, a small cut in the right place can give a person a smile that they will never be rid of.

Angie's hand raises up to her face gently touching her check bone gently. Showing him where the muscle is maybe, though she she sort of drifted off as she kept talking and by the end is looking more past him then at him.

"My mistake then. You certainly know what you're talking about." Kirk notes that she seems distracted. "I'm not boring you, am I?" He says with a somewhat amused smile.

Oh sorry, mind just wandered away there. I told you I was out of practice with this whole talking thing right?

She chuckles to herself.

Magtok nods once more. More thoughts swirl about in his head, mostly concerning how much he disagrees with that particular sort of approach to others. Changing the patterns and habits of others is all about making them think it was their idea, not yours. And there's all sorts of ways to obtain information that works a lot better than directly asking them or anyone else who might rat you out for asking such things. Really, directly nosing one's way into things should be a last resort, thinks the cyborg. If you want to get anywhere with people, you have to study from afar, not prodding them in the face like the way that God of Machines did things. That sort of subtle approach is precisely why there's a MagSat up in orbit, in fact!

"Well, presuming there isn't much else that needs to be said, I think it might be best if I skedaddle before that happens. Cessie and I get along about as well as a steam ship going at full throttle and Cthulhu's hideous tentacle face. Oh, and your arming idea is a bust, but everyone else loves the beacon system, now that they can pretend you had nothing to do with it."

Despite talking about fleeing, Magtok makes no move to leave just yet. If Ilpholin intends for him to be around for whatever happens next, he's not going to protest further, he just wanted to make it clear where he stands on the issue ahead of time.

"Unless you have a reason to keep me around when Cessie gets here, yeah, I think it is."

Magtok shrugs, and starts rising up from his seat. If Ilpholin was going to tell him to stay and just deal with his dislike of Cessie as best as he can, she probably would've done it by now, right?

"No no." Ilpholin says, waving her hand. "Not this meeting. The Council meeting. If it's over, then all well and good, you can go. If it's not, then I'd prefer you'd stay and let me know the full details so I don't have any surprises for when Cessie does show up."

What I am going to do is be an insider in every organization, imagine having an ear inside every organization." Mr. Winters pauses for a moment, putting his cigarette out in a small ashtray set up beside him and lighting another one. His demeanor has not shifted for an instant, if anything it became more chilled. It almost seems as if this is what he is most used to.

Dipsnig raises his eyebrow. I assume you'd have a plan to ensure they don't figure it out before a month. The other orgs have tightened their recruitment procedures lately.

Mr.Winters pauses for a moment and puts out his cigarette. "How much do you knwo about birds, Mr.Dipsnig? Did you know that there is a bird that lays it's eggs in another birds nest and then the unknowing parents feed and care for this new babay bird. That is exactly what is happening here, the organizations don't know their eggs from my eggs because it is impossible to tell." Another pauses comes from Mr.Winters as he leans back in his chair, "All you need concern yourself with is where you stand on this deal. Now I know your thinking about what am I suppose to gain from this. It's simple really, I gain a strong ally."

The short lecture about birds is something completely new to Dipsnig. He can't really tell birds apart.
Dipsnig's ears twitch as he figures out the meaning behind Mr. Winter's words. I see. So you're sending an agent to every Nexus organization is what you're saying. And what would you expect of me in return, as your... ally?

"That you did." Kirk laughs along with her and nods. "That's good, I was afraid I wasn't interesting enough to hold your attention."

"Oh. Right...yeah, that makes more sense."

Magtok nods, and then shuffles back into his seat.

"It hasn't quite ended yet, no. Vyrn just went and proposed that since he's gotten an airship up and running again, it'd be nice if he could be a part of Inside's defenses and also take on a Council seat. Folks are mostly okay with him defending things, but the seat is getting a very fierce 'lolno' response, thankfully."

Not at all, I find you quite intriguing. Tell me more of yourself, where do you come from?

Angie smiles at him and forces herself to pay attention to the conversation and less on the feelings all around her.

"You get the basic plot line Mr.Dipsnig" Mr.Winters says as he taps ash into the ashtray beside him nonchalantly, "Now on to your part in this. What I need from you is exactly what I am giving you, information. I don't need all of it but the more I have the better I can perform. You are going to be the one deciding the lenght of the leash I am on in this agreement. Consider me to be a bloodhound, I need something to get a scent off before I can find what is required. Thus information begets information." With this he puts out his cigarette and leans back in his chair.

"Where I come from? I think we could talk all night if I was going to tell you where all I've been before arriving in the Nexus. I've done a lot of traveling over the years." Kirk says. If only she knew the half of it. "Where I came from initially on the other hand, I can cover in a much shorter period of time. It was a fairly large underground city, deep in the Underdark. It's about the nastiest place you can imagine. The people are dangerous, the place is dangerous. It's a mess of political and personal elevation all topped off with a generous helping oppression and sadism. I never looked back after leaving."

Angie nods, I know the kind of place you are talking about, not good times. Do you think that is why you travel so much? To put more distance between you and that place. Because I could see that.
