    The Bar Tender raises an eyebrow at Tesni. "Can't say I know many of those drinks, my apologies." [Ellaria, I see you aren't ordering. If you funds are a little low, I wouldn't mind buying a drink for the lovely lady. I've got about 30 gold to spare, if you'd like it.] [You'll need a drink before the show,] Pigley warns stoically.

    OoC: As it is a bar, you must drink everything you order here, you can't take it with you - thus some of the lower prices.

    I was actually on the train two days ago and considered a U'Kin secondary character. Sandy, as it has been well over 24 hours, can we assume Nyx would follow my orders?
  4. Zepher
    Clearly haven't read a U'Kin quest before. I invented their damn speech pattern for 30, but I'm fairly sure at this point WBD writes it better than I do. U'Or still has hints of it in his speech from time to time, as if it were an accent he is trying to shake.

    OoC: It's Nyx's favorite drink.

    The heroes head to the tavern, accompanied by Russel and Pigley. At the tavern they see a number of rowdy groups of theatrical people, but it is hard to tell if it is their profession or simply the tavern atmosphere. The heroes sit down at the bar. "What can I get for you?" asks the Bar Tender. -Rum (5 gold) -Mead (10 Gold) -Flaming Gumball (10 Gold) -Hurricane (15 Gold) -Nostrum (50 Gold) -Mulled Wine (100 Gold)

    Ah, we're falling behind!! We have to kill Steerpike quickly so we can destroy the Wolfgang entirely in one move.

    "Right you are! The name of the play is Treachery! And I'll have to ask you to not bother the extras while they're relaxing before the show. I'd much prefer you to stay here where you'll be able to protect us should rats show up during our dress rehearsal. But we do have until sundown. I guess you could go to the tavern if you promise not the bother the extras."

    "Oh good, we'll be needing you! I've seen Treachery! performed once before, and the leading lady was carried off stage by rats during the performance itself! I'm Phillip J. Firuz, by the by. I'm a classically trained Stirlance actor. Maybe you've heard of my, though that new Eubric singer is the only thing anyone is talking about now a days." "My name is Barney."

    "Ah, the rats. What you're here for. Of course, I nearly forgot why he sent you brutes. The rats have, in the past, come from anywhere and everywhere, or so the reports go. They come either at the final dress rehearsal, or during the performance itself. We in the theatre community believe that there must be some curse on the play, which is why its so rarely performed." "As a precaution, you should be in the audience for both the dress rehearsal and the first performance tomorrow. We're actually getting pretty close to our dress. The actors will break for about half an hour, and then I think we'll get into it. You should probably rest beforehand to, as I believe you rode through the night."

    We're still short a few players, and have 3 days left in the sign-ups!

    Atramor watches the two go at it for a bit. They seem to be decent, though the General stumbles from time to time. Finally they stop and turn to Arthur. "How are you doing?" "Are you here for the show? Do you want to play the General? I'm woefully underprepared." "You can't give away your damn part! If someone could swoop in and take it today, then what would be the point of rehearsals!" yells Jules. "The Hinckwells. Ha! No, I am not part of that family. The Taylor clan has a long history in theatre, and that is all we do. Those political big wigs think they're so important in Eubric, but in Bric'Lin, no one hardly cares about them at all." ( OoC: ) "Lord Chauncey owns this theatre." "The General, Mr. Barney Reynolds, claims he was in a traveling caravan when he was younger, but you couldn't tell it based on his performance. The King is being played by some man named Johnny, claims its his first production. That one I have an easier time believing."

    Boomingham catches Thothwick as he falls and lays him gently on the ground. "Damn," he mutters. "Nyx, hold off that Werewolf Thug. I'll deal with our new and improved friend Steerpike. If Thothwick wakes up, we can help him... if not, we may have to finish this battle without him." Boomingham steps back, standing over the sleeping Thothwick, and heals himself.

    "Quite alright, mi'lady," he says with a sour voice and cast away eyes. "Some of my cast doesn't understand fashion either. The man playing the King stinks to high heavens. I think he was a pirate once or something." "Oh, well, interestingly enough, Lord Chauncey has supplied us with three of his personal minions to play the witches. He's a bit of a summoner... er, I think Evoker is the term? On top of his other studies, of course. They're all just black shadows, no faces or names, but I much prefer them that way, and they handle my direction much better than some others. I also forgot to mention a few of the extras I employ. I gave them the day off after running all their scenes, so I think they're all in the local tavern, save that pig who stuck around." "Hello, heroes," Pigley drawls in his low pig voice. "Howdy there, Pigley! How is the world of Theatre treating you?" "The part of Guard Number Two is both minor and fitting."

    Sir Taylor kisses Ellaria's hand and then raises an eyebrow at her more... ragtag companions. "As I was saying, Lord Chauncey insisted that we put on this play. I don't know why, though yes, we are both aware of the curse. It is my personal belief that he does not want the play to be lost to the sands of time. Lord Chauncey is a huge fan of the past, he actually owns and frequently visits the Library in Bric'Lin, reading all sorts of ancient tomes. I have directed two other plays for Lord Chauncey, and I can assure you that he both believes in and does not fear curses."

    Endgame, I think after this confrontation with the Wolfgang, Boomingham may be looking for another one! Hopefully I will be there! (If you'll have me).

    [Not as far as I can tell. Maybe just some loonies. Maybe some witches. Maybe friendly, maybe foes. Whatever they may be, they're gone now. There's a lot in the world that we crabs don't understand, unfortunately. There are witches in the play that we're seeing... so perhaps they play that part? Though Pigley said that they were using some sort of etherial summon for that, I thought.] Althior seems unable or unwilling to answer, and so the party sets out again. The sun is in the sky by the time they reach Bric'lin, and by following a number of signs and directions, they eventually make their way to the Theatre. At the heroes' approach, the man in the white shirt holding a shield calls for a stop and turns to face them. "Hello, and welcome to the Bric'Lin theatre! My name is Sir Jules Taylor, and I am directing this lovely play, as well as playing the part of the Duke. You may have heard of my, I believe I am fairly well known. Much better known than that hack Bilbert Wigglepike. Ha! Writing and directing! He has the wrong combination. Why direct what you wrote? All the great plays have already been written. Direct the greats, that's what I say. Anyway, you must be the heroes Lord Chauncey said he was sending. I must admit, I'm a little bit miffed that he won't be here for the show, I think he would have very much enjoyed it... he demanded that we put it on, by the Gods, and now he's not even here. Well, you can ask around. That's my Rebel Prince and General fighting on the stage. The lovely Alexa Kaye plays the Duke's Wife, and over there lounging on the ground is the bum who is playing the King."

    OoC: Uh-oh, I've done that before. Maybe just take a second to retype the important story dialogue (i.e. like Baba and Steerpike's two lines) and then let it ride. That's generally what I do, but god do I know its a pain in the @ss. Also, Lupus should be bleeding. Boomingham spins around to see Nyx reeling, lost again. He reaches out a hand to steady her. "Easy there, stand still, we'll finish the brute and in the event that we don't, you can." Boomingham turns next to Thothwick. "Think you can hold him for another round? I'd like to go at him in peak condition, if I can." Boomingham heals himself from the front row.

    Boomingham grimaces as Remus falls. He whips out his favorite handkerchief, still covered with bits of pie, and dabs his sweaty forehead. He head swims a little. "All that drinking is catching up to me. Let's shut this witch up before she gives me a headache. Nyx, Thothwick, I see you're looking to end my dance partner. Give me a moment and I'll join you." Boomingham wheels on Lupus and slashes at him from the front row.
  23. Zepher
    Okay with me! You ought to swoop into my quests more often and tell my questies I'm being too easy on them. Cronk and Co. would not be a fan of that ruling.

    OoC: In the past, free hits even under the protection of Guardian Angel have invoked counterstrike, as technically the enemy hits us, but with no damage being dealt. As always, I leave it up to you, just telling you how its been done! Boomingham steps calmly back as Barty swoops away. "I'm afraid you'll have to step out of your shoes, Nyx. Thothwick, let's keep these suckers occupied while Nyx gets ready to attack." Boomingham swings his sword at Remus. Battle Order Boomingham Thothwick Nyx

    "We are the witches three. Didn't you pay any attention to that play summery?" "Ugh, mortals never do. I doubt they'd even know who we serve, though I smell the sweet stench on at least one of them." "Ah, cut them some slack, they've got a lot going on, I'm sure." "Quiet, children. We are here for a reason. Let us answer Atramor's question. I am Deci, the oldest of the three." "I am Nona." "And I'm Morta, the runt of the litter. We're the witches in the play you're about to see." "Fool! Giving away our identity!" "They would have figured it out anyway." "Silence, children! This hobgoblin is named Marcellus. He is our guard. We have raised him from a young age." "Hi there. Touch the witches, and die." "Marcellus is such a dear. Don't let his intimidation scare you. He's really got a heart of gold." "Morta, let's stay on task." "Right. Well, I guess I'll begin then. Hail, King of the Kingdom. Hail, ye who defends all except yourself. Hail, brave warrior, brave death. Hail hail hail." "Hail too to the Duke, with wily ambition. Hail to the brave coward, hiding behind the screen while others die in your place. Hail to the one who died a death much like he lived life." "And hail to the General, who history favored. Hail to the General who loved the wife, hail to the General who betrayed a friend and was betrayed again." "Be careful, heroes, oft when you fight evil, you become it." "That's the whole thing, right? We can go now?" "Best of luck, heroes. Defeat the curse. And remember to play your part." Marcellus bares his little hobgoblin teeth at the heroes, and then, in another puff of smoke, all four figures are gone. The heroes stand stunned for a second, and then Althior stumbles out of the woods and trips over the stone wall, landing hard on his face.
