"No Triffids, but I've been so worried, ever since the oracle went missing and the news in the paper about all the houses, and there's even rumors of the old Veterans returning!"

UsernameMDM Posted January 4, 2018 Hoke's tankard arrives. He sniffs it and takes a sip warily. "Well, if I'm drinking this stuff, I might as well try it." Hoke consumes his Pickled Mushroom. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KotZ Posted January 4, 2018 Kiray peers in her mug, finding a fly. She moves to dump the contents on the ground, but a small animal catches her eye. She instead puts the mug on the ground to allow the animal to drink. She then chimes into the conversation about Veterans with, "Maybe they came back to life. Maybe they weren't dead. There's been lots of weird things that occur in this world. Necromancy wouldn't surprise me." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Killed him dead right in front of House Shadeaux..." "No. But he was so powerful..." "It's all good here, darling. We've got your standards, pretty much anything you could find in the marketplace. Plus if you're really interested, I might be able to give some recommendations for some Double Rainbows or Pixie Dust." Germ tries to hear more of this conversation. Double Rainbows, Pixie Dust? What are they spouse to do? He said to the bartender. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As his attention turned to the "mushroom head" man. Not really, I just inadvertently heard you talking about the murder at the Shadeaux. Did they found out who done it yet?

Based upon my research of Heroica's founding members, I'd say they match up pretty closely. As for their absence, we've got members of our own organization who were locked away from time at some point or another. Whatever they mean to do, they're sure shaking things up a bit."

I don't think I've ever just bumped into friendly faces on the roads of Eubric before and today I just bump into Torald first and now you. How do you do?" I question politely, remembering my manners. Unsure whether I want to follow Torald and Skuld (forgive me, I'm pretty sure this was the spelling) into the questionable bar, I nevertheless feel the conversation forcing me to do so. I gingerly follow Torald, handing my equipment to the ogre obediently. 5 hours ago, Alfadas said: Not rumors, I'm afraid. Harsh reality.

I mean, you always drank a lot, but...maybe I should go back and apologize for you and they will accept you again?" Monk Pretzel arrives at the scene and looks on disdainfully.

He eased into a calm quickly, mostly from....regret? He knew it was best for Torc to go back to the dragons with Vipera, but what he wouldn't give to see her, to see them, one more time.

Zepher Posted January 4, 2018 Boomingham, a former King and almost King again... finds himself in a ramshackle hole without any weapons. His eyes are first drawn to his old companions, or what is left of them, but then they drift over to the pirate... wearing new cloths, but the same man surely... Natnail... Boomingham glowers and wishes he had his swords on him, but goes instead to the bar for a drink. He turns to the mushroom-headed man. "Any other news round these parts?

Kintobor Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) Karie makes her way to the entrance of the Lady Luck's Locale, noticing the large bouncer. She takes off most of her weapons (including weapons she took out from her private locker back home, weapons she hadn't wielded in years) and handed them to the bouncer: all except for her Fine-tuned Guitar. She strums for the bouncer."You need some entertainment? I can provide it for your establishment!" Karie grinned, putting on her best showman-like facade.

The Legonater Posted January 5, 2018 Dyric saunters into the Locale, taking in the surroundings. He had stopped there once, a long time ago. He had hoped then that it would be his last visit. Oh how the times have changed. As he steps in, he watches Karie barter with the bouncer for her guitar. Quickly, Rone rifles through his own bag of equipment. Crossbows, knives... those would all be immediately flagged. He wondered briefly if his trusty old chain whip could pass off as innocuous when he spotted the Unlucky Horseshoe amongst his belongings. He couldn't remember when he had acquired it, nevermind ever using it, but today it would finally see the sun. Wrapping the chain around his body as an extra measure, Dyric snatched the horseshoe and then closed up the bag. In his free hand, he mindlessly fiddled with his Lucky Die. His luck had always been tight at best. In such trying times, perhaps luck would finally smile on him. He waited behind Karie, a nervousness rising from deep within.

Palathadric Posted January 5, 2018 As Kiray flashes me her badge, I look away, feeling more ashamed than ever of my actions in joining the Wolf king. "Good day, Rone! I suppose you have seen what has gone on at the hall? Bloody good news in my mind. Finally, the hall will be cleaned up and from the looks of it, probably the city too. We have had enough of all these petty squabbles, methinks." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Individually, not organized, I don't think we stand much of a chance. So, for now we retreated, let them think they have some power over us, gather everyone here and maybe make a plan of attack. And I don't know what can be done about your oracle. It's a big shame the oracle has gone missing. 10 hours ago, Palathadric said: "Oh, my!

They think our ways are wrong, that we let this city go to the brink of civil war. This is far too serious for an apology. But, if we stick together, don't do anything stupid, we might pull through and get our Hall back. Noticing Petaldan's hesitance, Torald says: I don't like this bar either, but it's better then standing outside in the rain, innit? And, with all these important things going on, I might actually stay sober. Who knows what's going to happen. Torald takes a long look around this bar. Still no sign of Ezeran, is there? Did he not come back from your last quest? It's not like him to miss on something this important, is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
