Steps
into the Tavern with a Tale to
Tell
« on:

::Stepping up and having a seat, Xentle
slams down a couple of bottles of Elven wine and looks
around::
My Friends
::He began and paused to
pound his chest and ease that pressure with an asperated
release from drinking the wine to fast::
I arrived
early the other day. ::taking another swig:: to the edge
of teh Estate of Unrest where we were to gather to
subdue as many of the acursed occupents as we could lay
blade to or caste upon. ::Sigh::
Being early I turned
upon the task of finding my way out to help others in,
but instead got myself caught in a skiff. Instead
of assisting others no I had to await my own rescuers.
I sat looking about the infested lake on the hard
stone island that stands like the pupil in an eye in th
emiddle of Dagnor's Cauldram.
::Swig::
Looking up
I caught sight fo the heals of Tropelet racing across
the air above me. I hailed him and he and his traveling
companions pulled me from my strife.
::Looking around
at those listening::
Upon again returning to the cave
tha tleads into the this shadowed realm of undead.
Our forces gatherred and built and our guild went
in as a team to face the tretchery
withing.
::Smile::
Are ye pallets whet for the
heart of the tale? Lets us hear some of what my
Raid mates have to tell of this venture.
::Loking
back at the tavern door he waits to see who else might
enter to share their memories of the venture.::

Raises his glass 
That
was certainly an experience to remember. Moments
of quiet only to be broken by the shout of
"Train!!"
Takes a deep drought 
"To
Arms, To Arms" the cry would ring. Kazaan wielding
his massive axe would fell one after another of the
would be undead assailants. Velerestra claws
gleaming with each stroke effortlessly dispatching
others.
sigh* 
Many
other blades would rise and fall cleaving fetid flesh of
bodies brought back from the grave by unholy magic.
Again and again the waves would come, only to
break upon the hardened back of the guild's finest.
Until once more peace and calm was restored to the
Estate of Unrest and its monsters lay in broken heaps at
our feet.
Salute to all and a Drink to past battles!!

Val saunters in with a
mischevious smile, sits down and orders a nice fru-fru
elven wife which she sips daintily from a crystal goblet
as she talks.
Ah
yes, that was a day to remember. 
In the wee hours of the morning Taj, Ayr and I set
ourselves to scout the ancient grounds of Unrest in
advance of the Guild's arrival. We found that the
dwarf lords who had lived there in ages past did not
leave much in the way of wholesome spirits behind them,
in fact the mansion and surounding grounds were infested
by foul creatures. 
We waded through them, with Captain Tajina commanding us
bravely from one spot to the next, a hackin' and a
slicin' and smashin' and crushin' only to have more rain
down on us from all sides, it was indeed quite fearful
at times. Finally, surrounded by a cluster of
werebats and mummies and down to the last we decided to
direct our advance toward the rear and prepare for the
arrival of our compatriots.
With
the following dawn our fellow Destructors arrived,
prepped and forewarned of the horrors we had
encountered. As one we invaded the unholy site.
With all my steadfast Guildmates at my side
<raises her goblet in salute to her fellow
Destructors  >
we stood our ground amidst the desolation and
destruction, more than a little of which was caused by
us, as the hordes rushed out of the dark and sinister
house to meet their long awaited and eternal death at
our hands.
Even the ghosts of Dwarven
Battlemasters past were no match for the Destructors as
Captain Vertico struck them down one by one with his
cleansing fire. Wave after wave they came and
still we stood, a Guild, a Team, not faltering or
wavering but each doing our piece to repel and contain
the hordes of undead and their twisted many-legged
lackies.
Many a foul beast was hewn down that day
and a fine honorable battle it was, with much glory for
us, the Forces of Good and Justice, The Mighty and
Victourious Destructors!
<stands and raises
her glass in toast>
To the Destructors,
long may they live in honor and righteousness!
<Val drains her goblet to complete the toast,
then refills and sits back to sip again and hear the
tales of her friends and
guildmates>

::Lifts his flask in toast to his
companions sharing the tale::
Indeed, it was a quest
of valor. It is a priveledge to be a part of the
making of legends with guildmates of such vigor and
honor. Many times did I caste till I could caste
no more and ye all did well at sheilding me whilest I
recooped my mana.
::Swigging down another
flask::
The flailing of blades and spectacle of magic
flying in the air was a sight to behold. Did
charge the blod with vigor and inspire all that could
see.
::Looks again at the door to see who else might
join and tell of there experience.:: |

::Stands and nods to those still enjoying
their refreshments, tosses a couple gold peices on the
counter and catches himself from aslight miss
step.::
I haven't had too much really, .. no prob..
::With a slight swagger he heads out to see what is
going on with the RAID scheduled to take place in
Guk.::

Ah Xentle and if it wasn't for the fact my
alcohol tolerance has only just reached 7# I would be in
there celebrating your new gift of story telling, and
tolls of life (has had a few tolls with some birds in SK
recently). LOL

 Awe

destructors sometime and help you out. Trust me by
the time your done you'll be seeing bird feathers all
over the plains of South Karanas. Maybe even the
remains of an Undead Cyclops too if he happens to be
stupid enough to step into the firing lines off the
Destructors. LOL. Plz send me a message on who is
coming in your group and what time to meet up with you

as Val brushes the seaweed out of her hair
and knocks yet more sand out of her boots from her
swimming trip in Timorous Deep she overhears Vertico and
Overit talking to Xentle and chimes in
herself...
Hey Xentle, did the birdies treat you
badly?
I would be happy to go down and carve them up with
you, we can have roasted Karana Legs for dinner tonight
...<ouch,the brush snagged in my hair> ...
but first I have to get cleaned up so I'll feel elven
again, instead of <ouch> like a fish. Oh,
just one thing though <upends her pack to dump
several gallons of water on the floor> no boats
please, kay
Bartender!
Get someone over here to clean up this
mess!
:Val goes upstairs to take a warm bath and do
her hair and makeup so she'll look pretty for all the
cute guys in this bar

:ulls
an Aviak feather out of his hair and brushes a tuft of
tesch fur off of his robe.::
Yeah, I 've been
tussling around down in the southern parts of Karana,
what gave it away?
:ulls
Plains Pebble out of his boot::
Spent a little
time kicking around down their recently, my newest blast
spell I am getting down to where you can catch the fresh
roasted bird chunks while they are still stepping.
Probably taste better with a little seasoning
though.
::Hears Val running water upstairs and
laughs::
Now there is a cure for too much swimming,
.. More water!
::Snickers::
Gonna have to make
some fish wine for her, ..
::Almost falls off his bar
stool laughing.::
Anyone is welcome to come help me
stir things up in SK, Tajina, Overit, Naturia, Maxell
and I am sure I am forgetting someone(s) anyway there
have been several kicking thing sup there with me
already.
::Slams down a few more Meads and looks
around enjoying the company.:: |

:: Wonders in to the traven looking fresh
and well rested, She notcies a barmaiden cleaning up a
sandy-watery mess as she walks over to the table her
friends and guildmates are seated at . ::
"Hello every one"
:: she seats her self
::
< nods of acknowledgement flow around the
table >
:: She orders a glass of chilled white
wine from the bar keep, placeing some coins on the
table, she listens as her mates continue to recap recent
battles. ::
Ah, I wish I had been there
for the honorable battle in Unrest but prior engagments
kept me away, the midnight excursion the night before
with Val and Aryton was indeed some good and valiant
battleing.
:: she jumps out of the way, as Xentle's
gestering as he spoke knocks the glass of wine the
barkeep is carrying out of his hand, the glass hits the
floor, but does not shatter. ::
<
"I'll bring you another glass miss, right away" the
barkeep say's with side glance at Xentle.>
We a little drunk there Xen ?
<
Xentle looks obilivous to what he just did >
::
Tajina shakes her head with a smile and a sigh ::
Karana, yes, I have spent many
days hunting the area.
:: recent battles reflect in
her eyes ::
I have seen many a
destructors stirring up trouble for the birds and gnolls
that have invaded the fair lands of the Karana's
.
:: She takes a sip of her wine that has been safely
delivered to her ::
It is good to see so many
fellow mates in the karana's helping to vanquish all the
evils and desease out of the land. Hey
Vert, maybe when you get over there after we have taken
care of some the unwanted inhabitants of Karana, A bunch
of us could go over to Rathe Moutains, I hear there are
some Cyclops and Hill Giants causeing trouble over
there.
:: Leans back in her chair sipping her wine
as she listens to stories unfolding around her ::

|Walks in with a few fresh cuts on his arms
and shoulder and blanket of sand from a recent sand
storm. Hands show heavy tan marks from a magic
fireball that had struck its target at near point blank
range. Seeing the guild heavily drunk in corner of
the tavern, he orders a simple drink of Bog Juice and
askes for a FirstAid kit|
Hey ya
guys!
|Winces a bit as he cleans out some of the
cuts|
Nice
to see so many Destructors last night in SK causing so
much mayhem! I think those Tesch Mas Gnolls and
Aviaks will be speaking our names in low hushes from now
on. LOL
|Opens his pack and pulls out about 3 stacks
of honey roasted Aviak drumsticks and passes it
about|
Courtesy of bird carving Jaledan did last
night!!!
We'll
have to do more hunting down there it was fun.
Still got a few blue cons even to me. I'll
guarentee i'll be down in that area a little more often
now. LOL

:comes back down to the bar clean, fresh
and smelling faintly of Jasmine perfume oil, tosses a
couple of warped and broken bowstaves into the trash and
notices Vertico cleaning his wounds...
Oh!
Vertico you're wounded! I do hope you're ok,
here let me help you, just relax and I'll make it all
better
:sits next to Vertico and takes his sponge
from his hand, gently cleaning and bandaging his wounds
for him while he relaxes with a wine and an aviak
drumstick
oh, those awful birds! Well guess
what everyone, I have mastered my fletching skills now
and as soon as I get one of these bowstaffs cut just
right <nodding towards the trash can which now
contains 5 flawed bows> I'll come hunt with you (if
that's ok) and we'll shoot them right out of the
sky
:checks vertico's bandages to make sure they are
not too tight and beams him a smile then pours herself a
goblet of elven wine and leans back in a chair herself
to try out some Jaledanian Honeyed Legs.
mmm, these
are good, thanks to Jal for carving them up and Vert for
cooking them up in such a gormet manner.
:finishes
eating, pulls out another treant wood bowstaff, drags
over a bucket for the scrapings and starts carving
away... again. |

Actually
it was 2 Tesch Mas Gnolls Valerestra
One
blue and one green but hitting consistently for
54.
<Takes a liberal drought of the Bog Juice.
Got me down to practically half a yellow before i
remembered Xentle saying something about kiting.
LOL barely escaped in time but did.
Thankfully Xentle's legacy and his breeze was
still with me. An with medding and kiting both did
finally sucuum.
But thankfully last night was a
killer night in oasis.
<Walks over to his bag and
opens it spilling out a couple pounds of Oasis
Sand>
I would seem that last night I was the only
SG hunter in Oasis. But not to worry, SG from now
on will tremble at the meer mention of our name if they
aren't extinct by now. Likewise LockJaw will not
pester newbies at the beaches of Oasis
neither.
<Reaches shallowly into his bag and
produces 3 bags of Sands of Ro as well as a rare LockJaw
Hide Tunic>
<Looking over at Tajina seeing her
fingers still crossed>
LOL You can uncross your
fingers now Taj. Your charm stayed with me the
whole night as i'm sure most of all guild's did.
Just hope i didn't take too much of the luck from
you guys. hehehe. Your luck held us even in our
incursion into Rathe Mountains. Got to do that
again. Ready to go there again whenever you are.
<smiles
broadly as he pulls out a set of Cyclops toes out of his
bag>
Ohh!!! <reeling back from the item>
Ok
maybe taking that as a trophy wasn't a good idea after
all. Bartender can you have these cleaned and
washed plz?? I'll pay you an extra 50 plats for
your trouble. Thanks.

:: Tajina sits in the corner
amusing herself by watching the fire light from the
travern lanterns dance an play in her glass of white
wine. She nods Hello to Vertico. Seeing him
tending to his cuts and scrahces she stands to go give
him a hand but falls back bown into her chair ::
umm let me try that again
::
she looks at her glass of wine acuseingly ::
Hello Val.
:: Seeing that Vert is in good
hands she takes a drink of her wine and makes a gester
to the barkeep,placeing a few more coins on the table ::
Yes it is good to see so may mates over in the
Karanas fighting to free the land of all the unwanted
Vernin and desise .
::raises her glass to
Val::
Gratz on mastering your fletching Skills
.
:: Tinjina smiles brightly as she watches
Vertico give the sands to Xentle ::
OH, Thank
you Vert
:: uncrossesing her fingers in an
exaggerated motion ::
Well if you ask me,
those Sandgaints deserved every thing they got, and that
LockJaw did too!
:: suddenly she puts her hand to
her stumach to keep it settled and then wonders if Vert
is plannig to make a neckless out of clops toes and
laughs to her self, maybe a bit too loudly ::
I would be honored to hunt with you again Vert
any time.
:: she chimes, shakeing off the looks she
is getting for her sudden out burst of laghter.
::
There are many in this room that I would gladly
hunt with again, and many guild mates I look forward to
hunting with some day as far as that goes.
:: She
snickered at herself for wanting to ramble on about this
subjict, she was starting to supect she might be just a
little bit intoxicated and snickered again ::
Oh, my! I think it's time for me to go.
:: She
stands up and gulps down a full glass of wine and heads
for the door, pauseing in front of valerestra, to watch
her work on her stick for a moment. ::
Don't
worry Val, this will be the one, it's going to be a
wonderful bow.
:: she pats Val on the shoulder in an
encourageing and cumforting way perhaps a bit to much
so, but she did mean well. ::
OK night every one,
I'm off to a much needed sleep I think.
::
feeling a bit emberased she heads out the door,
only swaying slightly ::

:: Slips back to a seat with his
companions, contimplating the new spells he learned not
long ago and how he can more effectively use them.
::
Hi guys! Hey Taj when are we going to have
that party?
:: Tosses a pp on the barmaids tray for
the glass and bottle of Brandy she set out for him on
the table.::
Looks like we have moved on to cleaning
trash out of the Rathetear Lake and the mountains
near-by. Vert, if you can get any of those
bonechip rods off some of the giant skelies over there,
let's through a couple in the warchest for when we might
need one to trackdown a corpse.
:: Breathing in the
fragrance of the brandy, he takes a belt and sets the
glass down again.::
Val, have you gone for any more
transcontinental swims lately? :: Chuckles ::
Or maybe you have kill one of those giant Kiolas
so you could get some Kiola nuts?
:: Looks closely at
Valerestra's hair :: Is your hair turning green?
::
Chuckles at Tajina as she staggers from table to wall,
making her way to the door. :: Taj, are you
going to find your way home ok, .... |
