The inn of the Cock And Balls

[Firehead]

In shock Kra screeches and leaps nearly half way across the street like a frightened cat trying to avoid the large man from tumbling on top of her. Once she was safe she cautiously approached the portly fellow giving him a light kick in the shoulder. "no no no, you shouldn't startle me like that large man, I'm on a big important mission and being crushed just won't do." The unconscious man properly berated for his rude disruption of her journey she skitters up the stairs to the bar ready to find her fortune.

It seems someone isn't happy with the medicine that is placed on the table and Kassy can't blame the man for it. Although the others around her are getting themselves armed for a fight in case he gets a little more riled up and she grabs her shovel. This meant that Beth got up from her spot and causing her to let out a moo from the pleasure, and she quickly catches herself from getting too loud. And the actress is good enough to keep her boner hidden from view, so she will have to pay her back for doing such a dirty act in the first place. Hopefully none of the goblins take notice and take advantage of the situation, otherwise a brawl is going to ensue from her table mates. She swallows her nervousness and looks at the others, "Maybe we should move?" she asked, a bit worried. "We can go to my room if you want..." All they need is to get away, and while her room is good, getting out of the building is much better. She just needs something to help the others out.

Hearing Kassy get a bit nervous, Bet puts a hand on her shoulder to both more importantly calm her down and to keep her on that seat. "Now now, let's not rush such things. Let the man speak first before we jump to action. Not every argument has to be met with violence or one party backing away. We can easily compromise and have everyone gain from this moment."

[Phoenixcz]

Ash doesn't feel any need to argue or fight over something so insignificant as is the table in the inn. Wordlessly, she just stands, and giving the half-orc a slightly annoyed face, she walks away. Not too far, though...not everyone shows willingness to go quietly, and half-orc will propably take any resistance as an excuse. Using magic on an opponent from behind is hardly honorable, but it's effective, and Ash starts to go over her options. Nothing too flashy, that would be frowned upon in just a bar brawl, but she should have something which will go unnoticed. Without her control, her right hand twitches in the expectation of conflict, but Ash herself just watches the situation, prepared to assist her new companions.

The Dwarf flashes you a toothy grin and claps you on the shoulder. He takes the mug back and motions for you to follow him to the bar, sitting you down on a stool on the corner and quickly beginning to fix orders, sending waitresses off to bring them to the patrons. "So lass, tell me 'bout yourself, not seen your face 'ere before, like to take an interest in me patrons." He says, putting another mug infront of you.

As you look through your book you notice something out of the corner of your eye, namely that someone in the far corner is looking at you, and not in the same way the other occupants of the balcony keep shooting glances at you while talking among themselves. No, this hooded figure seems to be insistently staring at you. You're extremely surprised when someone, or rather multiple someones, suddenly sit down at your table. The three elves grin at you, one of the two men moving to sit right beside you, the one girl quickly taking place on the other side. She looks over your shoulder at your book and mewls happily. "Ooh! You like flowers too? Too bad they're all dried up, flowers are so much prettier when they're glistening with dew."

As you enter the tavern two burly, tattooed dwarves stare at you suspiciously. You make your way into the tavern, your small size forcing you to slip through the less crowded parts of the floor, eventually this leads you to the stairs, upward to the balcony, or down towards the basement. The sound of cheering and the smell of animals comes from below while from upstairs comes the sound of coin on tables.

Halfway through Beth's second sentence Kazz' face takes on a blank expression, making it obvious he lost track of what was being said. One of the goblins tugs on his hand and he leans in to which the goblin rapidly begins talking into his ear. He comes back up with a massive grin on his face. "We drink. Winner keeps my table. Loser pays." He licks his lips at the last part and moves pushes Beth into a chair, sitting down across from her as his henchmen scurry off to get drinks. He stares at her until they return, carrying a disorganized mix of various drinks they put on the table between them.

"Names Kira just seeing the world and so on" Kira said drinking the mug chugging it down again, rolling her shoulders "Not much to say I was in school for a few years learned some stuff and I want to do some things see the world like I already said before" She motioned for another mug, thankfully her time with substances and times back at school gave her enough immunity however she wouldn't lie that the dwarven ale was strong, after all she could taste the buzz on it.

[VintageBass]

Perhaps the actress is right about running away, she should just sit here and wait for what the orc has to say before jumping to conclusions. Settling herself down back in her seat, Kassy watch the group discuss things amongst themselves before finding a whole slew of drinks put down on the table. She looks in awe over the selection and questions on how this is going to proceed, but if this is all for a table, she might as well leave and not bother with them again. However, she doesn't like the idea of people bullying others so she puts aside her shovel and grabs whatever drink she can reach.

[Earthsage]

Iona sighs, scooting well away from Kazz, and trying to hide behind Naomi as she realizes this isn't her fight. She hates the taste of alcohol, and probably wouldn't be involved in this little drinking match. And she really, really didn't want to put herself in the way of those goblins.. She had a feeling they'd try to grope her, and she'd hate to cause this situation to devolve by smashing the offender in the face. She gently whispers to Naomi, "Sorry.. Not much help here. I'll heal you if you get hurt, okay?.. Stay safe."

[Firehead]

Kra'koon dislikes the crowded bar floor but after coming this far she doesn't want to leave before she's even started. Carefully slinking past the many people standing in the crowded place she finds she has a choice of where to go. Down below she hears the unmistakable sounds of cheering and merriment. Merriment means someone is celebrating something and celebrations usually mean heavy pockets perhaps that is where the adventurers gather after they've found treasures and perhaps they could help her find her own. She slinks slowly down the stairs not wanting to draw attention to herself from the tense atmosphere up on the ground floor as she moves on to the basement with great trepidation.

When she gets pushed into a chair and drinks are thrown in front of them, she rolls her eyes before putting her winning smile back on. "Well my suggestion was merely I buy a round of drinks and we all sit here, but I have no objection to this either. Oh, and by the way..."
With that, she quickly reaches over and grabs the drink closest to the orc before tossing over her own. "It's customary to drink your opponent's drink to begin with. Allows there to be no cheating by purchasing pumpkin juice or something. Anyways, bottoms up!" With that, she downs the drink she picked up, slamming the empty mug onto the table before leaning over and whispering into Kass' ear.

[Phoenixcz]

Ash relaxes a little when se hears the half-orc's words. Not a fight, but a drinking competition. Part of her mind that's not quite her still calls for violence, but it's overruled for now. Ash is content to just watch the duel unfold, remembering an advice all aprentices were told many times, alcohol and magic don't mix well. She's got her doubts about Beth's chance to defeat her opponent, elves aren't exactly known for their constitution and alcohol tolerance, unlike dwarves or orcs. And even if he's halfbreed, Kazz looks much tougher then her.

[VintageBass]

The tauren leans in to hear what the actress has to say about what is going on and is slightly confused at first, before realizing that they might be at odds against the orc and goblins. She nods in response and gives Beth a hug for good luck, sticking close over to her before looking over at Naomi and Iona. She gives them a silent look, quietly telling them to be close just in case Beth isn't feeling so hot during this competition, and Kassy keeps a tight grip on her cup to get to work on her own plan. For now though, all she can do is watch her seating companion duke it out with the orc and hopefully treat her to a reward for winning. Kassy really doesn't want to end up in the hands of these men...

He nodded towards the bartender "alrighty" he said finished his drink and got up. "ill check the board out back and thank you" he then got up and went out back to check the bounty board.

Naomi moved an arm up to rest on the table and she leaned forward placing herself further inbetween the rowdy guests and Iona. She gave a barely perceptible nod to Kassy before whispering to Iona beside her, "I'll do what I have to if this doesn't pan out." She studied the drinks laid out on the table looking for anything that appeared off and watched Beth's reaction carefully after she downed one of the beverages quickly. There's was almost no way these drinks were meant for just a friendly game if the odds had anything to say about it.

Zali keeps her eyes mostly focused on her book, thumbing through the selection of tulips she has preserved, when she noticed some robbed figure staring right at her. Its almost enough to make her want to approach the suspicious character, but her thoughts are disrupted by the sudden movement of elves to her table, 3 of them to be precise. They seemed to be far too happy for no good reason, and their attempts to be friendly only made it seem all the more unusual. However, Zali knew better than to make a scene right now, not without reason, so she decided to play along for now. "Yes, fresh flowers are certainly better than the ones I have in my book, but transporting a garden's worth of flowers to admire everyday proved to be too troublesome for my tastes," Zali replies, not looking up from her book. She thumbs over to the lilies while speaking again, "There is only so much magic can do, after all. Keeping plants alive is one thing, keeping them in their most beautiful state with limited space is another."

Draken was just about to tell the dwarfs off, but thought the better of it. He had spent enough times nursing his wounds and by the looks of them provoking them might not be the smartest way for him to use his time. "You don't have to worry about me", he claimed trying to stay calm.

It didn't take long for the chill that had settled from his journey to ease out of his body and give away to the warmth of the inn. First thing's first, warm spiced mead. Then to have a look to see if he could find some work.

He looks at you, surpise obvious on his face. "You sure ye want another? You've had a fair few already an' I aint seen you eatin' much." He moves over to one of the waitresses and talks to her. "So, I dragged ye over for seemin' a capable enough sort, are you?" He pulls you another mug of ale and sets it down, the waitress coming back not long after with a bowl of stew and a hunk of thick dark bread.

She giggles, and moves in closer to you to be able to look at your book. "Oooh, that one is nice." She says pointing at a dried white lilly. "Those used to grow back home." Out of the corner of your eyes you notice the other two make tiny movements with their hands, almost twitchlike, but as you observe you spot a pattern to it.

As you reach the bottom of the stairs the smell of sweat, fire and animals is almost overwhelming. You round a corner into a well like circular hall built well under the tavern, its domed roof reaching at least two men tall over the similarly shaped cage in the center of the room. On one end the wall is lined with cages, creatures of all kinds lay and pace inside them. At the side of the cage itself is a small crowd of people, cheering and yelling as they watch what goes on inside. You approach and one of them spots you as you see the wolves fighting to the death inside. "Hey, hey you!! Lizard! Yeah, get over here, you wan't to make some quick coin?"

Kazz grins and takes the drink, chucking it back quickly and immediately grabbing two more, he continues at this pace, leaving you well behind in drinks by the time half of them are gone. The goblins seem content to just stare and talk among themselves. One of them spots the drinks dissapearing quickly and grabs a few of them to get more, planting them down as before and returning to talking. its not long before a small crowd gathers to witness the spectacle, a few cheering for Kazz, all of them rather rough looking.

As you walk to the bar, trying to avoid any crowds, one of them seems to be gathering over in a corner, but you can't see whats going on with the people blocking the way. There isn't much room, so you take place near a corner where a rowdy bunch of drunken dwarves are gathered. One of them moves behind the bar and looks at you gruffly. "What ye want then?"

The board is an absolute chaos of notes, maps and scraps of cloth. YOu scan around it picking out a few jobs, there seem to be some bandits raiding back up the road,a cult in the marshes and some trouble with what is likely a necromancer in the wilds.

[Earthsage]

Iona clenches and unclenches her hands as she watches the crowds gather around. They're boxed in, and she's not enjoying that one bit. Especially when she sees Kazz pull off so much heavy drinking. She'd tutt the state of his liver, but right now she's not feeling charitable enough to take a look at the brute, and instead scootches back further into her corner to try and make as little of a fuss as possible. If this elf woman gets them in trouble here, she's not going to be pleased what so ever...

[spriter1]

Beth's smile fades a bit for merely a moment as she watches Kazz tear away completely at the drinks. It's soon back though as she gets straight into it, going so far as to swing her head back so as to save herself swallowing the alcohol as she tries to both keep up and also not lose track of Kazz, not remembering anything being said about if this was one of time or one of who drinks the most. She gives a concerned look over to Kass and Iona for a moment, hoping beyond hope that the Tauren got to relay the plan to her since it seemed that at this rate, they would need it soon.

[Firehead]

Reaching the bottom of the stairs Kra'koon becomes tense as she wanders down the underground hall. As it opens up into a large room she looks around with a small sense of wonder. Creatures of various types, probably captured by experienced adventurers, held in cages at the far end of the room. Walking toward the crowd at one end while looking over the various creatures in captivity she idly wonders what purpose they were brought here for. Slowly approaching the crowd she sees the two wolves fighting ferociously within a larger caged area before she is startled by a mans voice asking if she was looking for some quick coin. Excited at the prospect of money but nervous at her surroundings she turns to the man. "Yes yes, I'm here to make many coins as an adventurer."
