2005-07-27 [Kit Azhure]: If you wrap silver in something and tie it around his ankles and wrists it should weigh him down... in addition to the chains. *Kathryn stood her face hardening as she prepared for the task ahead*

2005-07-27 [someelf]: *She blinked and watches the others like if she was a little kid who isn't suppossed to speak when the grownups talk.*

2005-07-27 [travs the bean]: clean him up as best you can we'll place a few pure silver coins in a bag and tie it to his ankle, if only the rogue were up**he cursed and went around the bar grabbing a few coins and dropping them into a sack. He tossed the bag to kit and pulled his cleaver out from under the bar as well and laid it on the counter**

2005-07-27 [Kileaiya]: Ki looked around the room, head low, she reached in her pocket and looked her map over and cursed under her breath 'Trav, a word?' 

2005-07-27 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep look over to her** yes lass

2005-07-27 [Kileaiya]: 'I knew this would happen Trav. That damned werewolf has been terrorizing a local camp near here for a month, they've had to kill 8 of their own already. Noone has been able to catch and kill him. That is not for lack of trying, though.'

2005-07-27 [travs the bean]: i'm just a barkeep lass, what would you have me do. right now my interest lies in the safety of my tavern and hall

2005-07-27 [Kileaiya]: 'I'm not to have you do anything, just thought I'd let you know, I know you are concerned for the safety of the Tavern.' she said as she looked at her map again then to Fizban.

2005-07-27 [werethylacine]: ::looks over at Kileaiya:: If you have a plan to act, I'm with you.

2005-07-27 [travs the bean]: well i appreciate that lass** he looked at [Fizban] than back to the girl** it is still afternoon so i would suspect it is more man than beast now

2005-07-27 [Kileaiya]: Ki looked over at her and said 'That I do and I appreciate your offer of help, it will be needed. I have some silver arrows in my shop storage just for this purpose, and other assorted silver weapons. I know some people down in the camp I mentioned earlier, they think they've finally tracked the were down and they've assembled those left of their best warriors...'

2005-07-27 [Igorina]: Jynx came down and noticed the excitement centered around [Fizban] She climbed up to the bar and pulled out a copper piece, sliding it in Travs's direction and motioning to the mead. " What's this? " she asked casually as she dug around in her pocket for her tobacco and rolling paper. Her nerves were still a bit jangled and she needed something to help calm them down.

2005-07-27 [Igorina]: She pulled the pouch open with her teeth and kept fumbling with the paper, dropping it a couple of times. She scowled at her hands, which were trembling noticeably and clamped them tightly together with an annoyed grunt.

2005-07-27 [Kit Azhure]: *Kathryn placed a silver coin on Fiz's ankle, the hair singed but the skin did not burn, replacing the coin and tying the bag around his ankle she stood back, and stepped into an empty spot in the tavern a ringing filled the room as she drew her silver edged sword* Never thought the prince's gift would come in handy

2005-07-27 [werethylacine]: Ealyal tapped a finger on her lower lip, then looked over at the frustrated looking woman. "It seems a werewolf got him pretty badly. Kileaiya's got some silvered weapons, so if enough of us are willing to find the werewolf and stop it from..." She glanced back at the injured man as the scent of burning hair reached her nostrils.

2005-07-27 [Igorina]: Jynx turned around in her seat and laid her hands firmly down on the table. She pulled out the rolling paper, carefully tapped some tobacco into it and wiped the rest scattered across the counter back into the pouch. The halfling stood up and then lit her cigar on the oil lamp overhead, before she sat back down and smoked her cigar thoughtfully. " Werewolf, eh? " she said out the corner of her mouth." Pff. Good luck. " She closed her eyes and took a deep drag. Much better...

2005-07-27 [Igorina]: She jerked her head in the boy's direction. " He the only attack or has there been more recently? "

2005-07-27 [Lothuriel]: Helena wrinkled her brown as she and Bethel came down the stairs into the tavern. She immediately noticed the large group crowded around someone...or something. She looked at Bethel and whispered "I wonder what has happened?"

2005-07-27 [Skife]: *Bethel came down stairs catching the last of Jinx’s words* Gee what is going on now? *she muttered to herself and headed towards the bar taking one of the empty stools*

2005-07-27 [Lothuriel]: Helena followed behind her and sat down on the stool next to her.

2005-07-27 [Kileaiya]: 'He makes the 9th I know of Jynx, the other 8 are dead...' she said trailing of into thought

2005-07-27 [Lothuriel]: Helena leaned over to Bethel "It sounds bad...did I hear her say someone died?"

2005-07-27 [Skife]: Seems like you weren’t the only one with a bit of excitement today, Helena. *Bethel said glancing over at Fizban and then back to Helena.*

2005-07-27 [Lothuriel]: *She looked over her shoulder for a moment and then back to Bethel. She propped herself up on her elbows and starred across the bar in silence*

2005-07-27 [Igorina]: " No...not the only one, " said Jynx with a sigh as she glanced over at Travs with his bandaged forehead. He just shrugged and continued to wipe down the bar and listen. " 9 attacks in how many days, darlin'? " she questioned Ki.

2005-07-27 [Skife]: *Bethel looked to Jinx* Hey can you tell us what happened to him? *she said gestering in fizban's direction*

2005-07-27 [Igorina]: " I just got down here myself, darlin' " said Jynx. " They say werewolf...I'm like you just trying to find out more..."

2005-07-27 [Kileaiya]: '9 in a month I'm afraid, Ain has really been at it' she said languidly 'Ain is the werewolf, if I didn't make that clear.'

2005-07-27 [Skife]: Oh a werewolf, is that all? I thought it might be something serious like a fire breathing dragon. *Bethel said sarcastically* I mean not a bit dangerous to have him around from the looks of him he only looks like he was bitten a few times.

2005-07-27 [Lothuriel]: *Helena raised up and leaned back a bit, looking at Bethel in disbelief* "Not a problem you say? One of my clan was plagued with the blood of the werewolf when I was a child. For 30 days they watched over him and performed rituals until the curse was lifted."

2005-07-27 [Igorina]: " Werewolves usually aren't stupid enough to hang around and kill more than three or four people before moving on, " Jynx mused. " How odd...Maybe it's a couple. " She raised her eyebrows. " Wait...Ain? " ((sorry about the hang time...doing something on the side so I'm in and out))

2005-07-27 [Kileaiya]: 'Ain is a different story... he is the smartest and stupidest bloomin' were I've ever seen, and I've seen more than my fair share.' Ki looked around the tavern then down at her map then back up at the others again 'Usually werewolves just infect but not kill, not this one, killed damn near all my village. He has been around these parts for years, and yes, his name is Ain'

2005-07-27 [Lothuriel]: I thought it the tales of werewolves were nothing but supersticion and old wives tales." She stood up and walked over to the injured man. "May I see your wound sire?"

2005-07-27 [Skife]: *Bethel watched Helena go over to him. She did not plan on joining. She did not like the idea of getting near someone who turned into a blood thirsty beast once or twice a month.*

2005-07-27 [Igorina]: " And...there was a good reason why you happened to know this werewolf who's been going about killin' people..." said Jynx carefully to Ki.

2005-07-28 [Kileaiya]: 'Yes Jnyx, there is' she said with a look of utter abhorrence upon here face for the words she was about to utter 'I was promised to the wretch in an arranged marriage...' she said tailing off 'as you can see that didn't happen' and murmered under her breath 'Thank god.'

2005-07-28 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep rolled his eyes and shook his head as he poured himself a drink. he rubbed his forehead and listened to commotion of the bar and took a sip of his drink, soaking in all that was said**

2005-07-28 [Igorina]: Jynx sidled over to Travs behind the counter on pretense of getting her mead. " How are you feelin' old fellow? " she said in a quiet undertone , making sure she wasn't heard while the other customers talked. " Don't scare me like that again, or I'll kill you myself...I checked it out upstairs, looks like a typical theif...but how did he get in your room with the door locked? "

2005-07-28 [Kileaiya]: Ki chuckled at Trav as he rolled his eyes, and said 'Pour me something strong will you?' absent mindedly.

2005-07-28 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep took another sip** i'm fine** he growled- fool got the drop once- only once** he sipped again** did you notice the open window? i imagine he came over the roof

2005-07-28 [Igorina]: Jynx frowned as Travs served Ki her mead and when he had turned back to her, she added quietly. " There's two things about theives. One they're lazy. Easiest and fastest way. Number two, only the idiots are flamboyant like that, to go through a window when there's a perfectly good lock to be picked quietly and quickly...the only reason why I didn't pick it was that it was a newer lock...and I've been out of the business a few years, y'know..." She smirked.

2005-07-28 [Kileaiya]: Ki got up and headed to a far corner with her mead she by passed the tables and went directly to a spot on the floor, she took a very small bag from her pocket and dumped it's contents on ta the floor, when she found what she was looking for she dropped it into her drink and grimaced 'Damn werewolves' she said and muttered about having to take something to calm her nerves.

2005-07-28 [Kit Azhure]: *Kathryn twirled her sword, until it was a silver blur with a sigh she spun it and sheathed it in one motion, then she walked over to the bar* A glass of water please, and a look at that map where he was attacked

2005-07-28 [Igorina]: Jynx fell silent as the swordswoman walked over. She took her mug of mead and sipped at it as she went and leaned against the end of the counter, waiting and thinking.

2005-07-28 [Lothuriel]: Helena looked over the man's wounds carefully, occasinally causing a bit of a grunt from him from her pressing around. "With all due respect sire, I do not believe this wound was caused by a fairy tale creature." She smiled up at him as she treated his wounds with powery mixture from her side pouch "I have seen these wounds before. To me, it would seem you have come across a dire wolf, one of the Earth goddess' most vile forest dwellers. I could see how you could mistake it for a were beast"

2005-07-28 [Kileaiya]: Ki listened to Helena, and hoped it was true that it was dire wolf that had attacked the boy, but it did not change the fact that there was still a werewolf about. She collected the other pouch contents and downed the rest of her downed the rest of her mead.

2005-07-28 [Lothuriel]: *Helena knew deep in her heart that she was probably wrong...she only hoped she was right. She did her best to comfort him without dishing out false hope*

2005-07-28 [Kit Azhure]: *Kathryn shook her head and waited for her water*

2005-07-28 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep poured a glass and gave it to kit**

2005-07-28 [Kit Azhure]: Thanks

2005-07-28 [Lothuriel]: *Helena glanced over her shoulder at the others attempting no to show her fear of the situation. For many years she had heard of such tales from her supersticious clansmen but, she never believed them. She looked back at the injured man and bit her lip* "Well, there you go" She stood up closing her side pouch "Werewolf bites or not, that will take the pain off for several hours." She wiped her hands on her dress and walked back over to Bethel. "Are you hungry? I will buy us something to eat"

2005-07-28 [Kit Azhure]: *Kathryn finished her water, and looked around* Where is the map that shows where he was attacked?

2005-07-28 [Danboo]: *Daniel walks out of the kitchen*

2005-07-28 [someelf]: *Blinks but stays quietly*

2005-07-28 [Skife]: I had something before you came, but you look like you could use some food. I myself could use a drink.

2005-07-28 [Kileaiya]: Ki stood and walked over to the bar and took a stool 'Milk please Trav.' when he handed it to her she downed it and handed him her coin 'I'll be in my shop if anyone needs me.'

2005-07-28 [Danboo]: *Daniel walks up to travs and said*what do you want me to do know?

2005-07-29 [FiSHr.]: *Noct. burst into the Tavern, his nose and head bleeding and looking alittle exhausted* Hello all,

2005-07-29 [Igorina]: Jynx rolled her eyes. " Seems like everyone's getting accident prone all of a sudden " she muttered to herself with a wry smile.

2005-07-29 [Kit Azhure]: I just need a map.

2005-07-29 [Igorina]: " You better get him to point it out..." Jynx said as she jerked a thumb towards the fireplace. By the mantle a map of the general area had been tacked to the wall.

2005-07-29 [Kit Azhure]: A portable one... I thought someone had one out earlier.

2005-07-29 [Igorina]: " Since he's the only one living who can tell you where he was at...it might not do you much good, " the halfling added and finished her mead. " Portable? I must have missed that..." She shrugged.

2005-07-29 [Kit Azhure]: Worse comes to worse I will just track where hes been.

2005-07-29 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep looked at danboo- **lad go get the chains and clamps from the storage room- we'll need to chain him up in the cellar before night fall -

2005-07-29 [Danboo]: how much sir

2005-07-29 [travs the bean]: enough to keep him subdued and close to the wall- we don't want him escaping or wrecking the inventory

2005-07-29 [Danboo]: ok sir*daniel goes to the kitchen, then storage and starts to get some chains*

2005-07-29 [Igorina]: Jynx glanced over at Nocturnus. " So what happened to you, handsome? " She gave the foliage and leaves in his hair and the bits of debris on his clothes a critical look. " Run into a tree or something? "

2005-07-29 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep smiled a wicked grin** prob too much to drink - why don't you wrap his head up and get some meat to put on it**he looked back at the crowd around [Fizban], and furrowed his brow, just what the inn needed more trauma he thought wiping down the bar** 

2005-07-29 [Igorina]: " Second thick skull I've wrapped up today, innit? " said Jynx with a mischevious glint in her eyes. " We have something more t' talk about when I get done, old fellow... " She went behind the counter and poured a shot of fire water. " Not for me this time " she said to Travs with a broad grin." This is to keep the rot out..." She snagged a few of the barkeeps rags and motioned Nocturnus closer and to bend his head down while she pulled up a chair and stood on it to reach him.

2005-07-29 [Igorina]: She dabbled the firewater on it to clean the wounds and looked at it. " Got yourself a nasty knock...pinch your nose its dripped all down the front of your clothes " she said. " Right nice shiner you got there under your left eye too. Not too serious lookin' "

2005-07-29 [Lothuriel]: That's ok Bethel, I think I have lost my appetite. " She looked at the Barkeep, "Shouldn't we warn the townspeople about the creature in the forest? I mean, afterall, he was attacked near a well traveled public road. And if what you are claiming is true, if he is to turn into some sort of beast perhaps a call to a local Cleric would be in his best interets"

2005-07-29 [Danboo]: *daniel comes out of the kithcen with some chain on his arm(wraped around) and some clamps in his other hand*here travs

2005-07-29 [travs the bean]: **he looked at the young lady for a moment** the town is not my concern right now, as for a local cleric they seem to be rare these days, besides if everything kit has spoken of is true than they should be able to kill the beast in the morning and spare this poor souls life, if they do not succede by first light that we will kill the beast ourselves**he dropped the silver dagger on the counter** dan, please give the clamps and chains to kit, and let's lead the pour chap in the cellar (and if your all patient i will create that map by this afternoon ) as for hunting the beast get what info you can and you can have the map to hunt it down

2005-07-29 [Danboo]: yes sir*daniel hands the chains and clamps to kit* ok

2005-07-29 [Kit Azhure]: ((ok!^ ^)) Thanks * She said to Danboo taking the chains. Kathryn walks over to Fiz* Please dont make this harder than it is. Please come with me. *She looked at Trav for directions to the cellar as she waited for Fiz to respond*

2005-07-29 [travs the bean]: go through the kitchen to the storage room you'll find a door in the back leading to the cellar. dan take a lantern it does get dark down there** the barkeep spoke**

2005-07-29 [Kit Azhure]: *Kathryn nodded and turned back to Fiz*

2005-07-29 [Danboo]: yes sir*Daniel goes to the storage room and gets a lantern and stands infront of the door*

2005-07-31 [Lordterrex]: * Terrex walks into the inn, looking around at all the unfamiliar faces..... takign off his travelign cloak and hanign it on a peg, he walks to the bar, and sits in a stool, his chainmail making the almost soothign high pichted trinkling of chains, as he readjusts the sword on his back, laying his large round shield next to him, his coppery thick dark heavily scarred skin of his arm resting on the table top.* tell me me dear, have ya got anything that dont burn on the way down?.. i wont be needing that dreary feelign yah get after a nice strong drink...* his dark blue eyes, almost black if it werent for the bit of light in the tavern, searched the barmaid infront of him, getting to know -

2005-07-31 [Lordterrex]: as much about her with his eyes as he can, he smiled into her face disarmingly, his slightly upturned nose and wild features almost lookign sweet, but in a wild sort of way, almost scary.. orcish even.*

2005-07-31 [Igorina]: Jynx looked over at the newcomer as she finished patching up Nocturnus and hopped down. She stifled a scornful snort as she climbed back into her chair at the counter. Characters like him always go straight for the barmaids... she thought with a sigh, hoping the girl was smart enough to know a rogue when she saw one. Ah well...none of her business. The halfling snatched an apple from the bowl on the counter and chewed on it thoughtfully.

2005-07-31 [Lordterrex]: *the young Terrex looked to his side to see a miniature person, eating an apple that almost looked much to large for her, his jaw dropped in disbeileif*....... how.. you... wow * his hand wandered toward her, tottaly ignoring everythign aroudn him now, he was stunned byt he appearance of this little person....*

2005-07-31 [Igorina]: Jynx's eyes narrowed in vicious mirth and without turning around she poked a finger dead in the middle of his palm, stopping his hand. " I'm not to be petted, handsome, " she said with forced sweetness. " Never seen a halfling before? "

2005-07-31 [Kit Azhure]: *Kathryn cleared her throat behind Terrex* Leave the woman alone man, and shut your jaw or something nasty might happen to your tongue

2005-07-31 [Igorina]: Jynx smiled faintly to herself. " It's allright darlin'. I'm always nice to th' customers. " she said cheerfully. " He seems harmless enough. "

2005-07-31 [Lordterrex]: * terrex shut his jaw smartly, trying to save some face among these strangers he explained* i come from northlands... people not soo small there.... i am curiouse.... how you get so small * terrexes eyes squinted slightly as he asked the question, his index and his thumb making a gesture of shortness, he turned his head in confused way, almost like a dog looking at something that sis simply unnatural*

2005-07-31 [Igorina]: " I dunno. Maybe I'm the right size and everyone else is too bloody tall, " Jynx cracked without batting an eyelid. She turned and gave the stranger a long hard stare. " You can drop the ' me from northland, me no speak good ' routine now, handsome. I heard you a few minutes ago...I'm not buying it. " she added in a even tone of voice.

2005-07-31 [Kit Azhure]: Lad, you might want to ask the Lady if she wants to speak of her origins, its only polite

2005-07-31 [Lordterrex]: *terrex coughed and thought hard* it takes alot of concentration to speak like this, you caught me tottaly by surprise. is this better for you? * terrex turned away, angry with himself for exposing his poor ability with language, and his much easier, crude way of speaking, he could feel his face growing hott, and he simply took hsi drink and drank.*

2005-07-31 [Kit Azhure]: *Kathryn smirked* You'll get used to it or go home like i did

2005-07-31 [Igorina]: " Whatever works for you, " said Jynx with a shrug and grinned at Kat." So what brings you from the northlands then, my good..." she looked him over critically, "...barbarian are you? "

2005-07-31 [Lordterrex]: *terrex nodded* yes, my tribe kicked me out, they say i am too human, to weak. so i go to find my place. my father, he was great bad warrior, he take human woman... and she have me, she kill herself with sadness, they say cause i was too ugly. so now i old enough, i leave. what you doing here?

2005-07-31 [Kileaiya]: Kileaiya walked in and waved her tail in annoyance at herself, she walked over to the bar and said 'Someone get me a glass of milk please?'

2005-07-31 [Igorina]: Jynx nodded while Travs slid a glass of milk Ki's way and took her offered coin. She turned around and leaned against the counter and closed her eyes with a smile. " Travs the barkeep's an old friend. He's been kind enough to put me to work.I run the bar at night and whenever else he needs me. Otherwise I annoy people with card tricks and magic. "

2005-07-31 [Lordterrex]: you magic?!?! * terrexes eyes light up with the excitment of a toddler seeing something shiny* you do magic now?

2005-07-31 [Kileaiya]: 'Of which you still haven't shown me' Ki added with a smile.

2005-07-31 [Kit Azhure]: *Kathryn rolled her eyes* Down country boy, you might want to add a please.

2005-07-31 [Igorina]: Jynx laughed. " Yes...I pull pigeons out my arse. No not really...I can do things like this. " She snapped her fingers and a glass sphere appeared in her hand. She balanced it on her finger and rolled it skillfully over her knuckles from hand to hand in an intricate set of gestures before she tossed it up in the air, caught it on her finger once more, waved her other hand over it and made it vanish. " Tricks like that. "

2005-07-31 [Lordterrex]: *terrex looked over at kit* i only have silver, i have no pleases......

2005-07-31 [Igorina]: " Then I tell your fortune...like how you will suffer an untimely death if my palm isn't crossed with silver and quickly, " Jynx added with a wry smile. " I joke...Travs wouldn't let me pull a trick like that..."

2005-07-31 [Kileaiya]: 'Aw Kit be nice he isn't from around here' she said with a laugh. (and I mean no offense Kit)

2005-07-31 [Lordterrex]: HAHAHAHA!! * terrexes head shot back in uncontrolable laughter, his hands on his belly still trying not to laugh, tears streamign down his face, the deep baritone of his voice echoed around the tavern, and than he stopped and looked down at the halfing*... you think i stupid?

2005-07-31 [Igorina]: " I never judge anyone off hand " said Jynx with a strange smile on her face. " You go around insulting the audience in my line of work and you don't get another show out of 'em "

2005-07-31 [Lordterrex]: * terrex thought for a short second, tryign to comprehend this witty remark...* HEHE, you are very funny, but you good at hurting me in bad way, i think i like you. i no think you have told me your name.

2005-07-31 [Kit Azhure]: Thats why we need to tell him the rules of this place.

2005-07-31 [Lordterrex]: rules?

2005-07-31 [Igorina]: " In a minute, darlin' " said Jynx amicably to Kit. To the barbarian she said, " The name's Jynx Romany, handsome...yourself? "

2005-07-31 [Lordterrex]: Terrex, i have no tribe, so no family.... but people work with me, call me skullcrush.... * terrex grins in an almost scary way, but one look at hsi eyes shows his innate kindness, even though he has a nice set of carnivores reaching up to his nose.*

2005-07-31 [Igorina]: " Skullcrush, eh? I'd have figured you for a Lord Fauntleroy, m'self, " Jynx joked. " So...work as a hired mercenary do you? "

2005-07-31 [Lordterrex]: some times, only when i need money. mostly just explore. the land is big. i have been lot of places... * he begins thinking hard* i think most places are... hot. i come from cold world. it is to hot here.

2005-07-31 [Igorina]: Jynx nodded. " Well welcome at any rate to the Tavern, " she said generously. " In the summer it does tend to get a little hot, otherwise the weather's quite nice. Plan on stayin' a while? "

2005-07-31 [Lordterrex]: i think yes.... drinks are good, maybe i will find sum good jobs here. you know sumone who hiring?

2005-07-31 [Igorina]: " Not off hand but you might ask Travs over there." Jynx remarked. " Drinks are good...just remember to pay for what y'get as well as where y'stay and don't be pawin' at the girls...what worked for yar dad doesn't necessarily impress the ladies here, handsome and it makes Travs over there get a funny twitch in his eye at any rate. You're a smart young man, so I know you know that twitchy barkeeps make for nasty drinks when you least expect it. "

2005-07-31 [Lordterrex]: * terrexes eyes grew wide* i taste many bad drink just north of here, they no like my kind there, they say orcs just trouble... i just trouble. i am surprised no drink taste nasty here. it is good drink, i think i will have another, *terrex pulls out his pouch, putting a few silver peices on the counter* there, i pay. and i not pawin neither *terrexes winks at the jynx* i let them paw at me though, * he now grins, thinkign himself quite the handsome beast*

2005-07-31 [Kit Azhure]: *Kathryn supressed a wicked grin. She could have fun with this lad but shook her head at herself for her foolishness. She was still waiting for fiz*

2005-07-31 [Kileaiya]: Ki looked around for Trav and failing to see him asked 'Jynx, you mind getting me a glass of milk?'

2005-07-31 [Lordterrex]: * taking another gulp of his drink, he asked no one in particular* what beez the rules?

2005-07-31 [Igorina]: Jynx chuckled. " I can tell you have a way with the ladies, handsome. " she said warmly. " Here's to charming the ladies and good drinks, then." She toasts in his direction with the apple. " You'll find Travs is an easy going sort...as long as the bill's paid and no one's smearing someone else's face into the floor or breakin' chairs on people's heads. Or annoyin' the girls. Those are pretty much the rules. " She tapped the counter in Ki's direction. " There's a glass in front of you, darlin'...Travs has already taken the coin and gone. "

2005-07-31 [Kileaiya]: 'Jynx, I'm afraid I'm losing it.' she said with a slight chuckle as she took her glass and moved to an empty table nearby.

2005-08-01 [Lordterrex]: *Terrex raised his glass, smiling broadley to be in such good company, he took a huge gulp, and put his glass down hard, causing a large smack.* maybe travs need a sword, mayeb he need to buy a mercenary, i can do that. * still smiling, he leaned back against the counter, his mug in hand.*

2005-08-01 [Kit Azhure]: Jynx, could I have... some cider please.

2005-08-01 [Danboo]: Ummm.. traaavs

2005-08-01 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep shook his head**...huh...sorry lad just thinking ** he looked at the newcomer-** sorry good night i have no need of a sword i do better with a real weapon that cleaves flesh and bone far faster than a sword **he said with a wicked grin**

2005-08-01 [Lordterrex]: 0_o....... what weapon be that?!.. i think i will want one. -_-

2005-08-01 [travs the bean]: **he pulled the old heavy meat cleaver and dropped it on the counter, it landed with a dull thud it's blade sharp and strong** been through many of scraps with her- better than any sword i've ever seen or own

2005-08-01 [Lordterrex]: *terrex picked it up, a smiling on his lips*... this be strange axe, not sword...... some like axe, sum like sword... i like sword. *he touches the blade experimentaly, nicign his finger* o it do be sharp..... * he hands it back to travs, proper respect for any weapon.*

2005-08-01 [travs the bean]: bah an axe.... not quite .... it is a large knife made to carve flesh, sinue and bone- can be used like a sword as well... never though for hacking wood ** he ppicked it up with skill and twirled it around for a moment, than placed the large blade under the counter**

2005-08-01 [Lordterrex]: * terrex sat down and took his drink, he lifted it to his lips* *cough*AXE*cough* * he drank quite pleased with himsef, never enjoying a verbal argument, knowing that it was terrible temptation for him*

2005-08-01 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep shook his head and looked back at jynx for a bit- the sun was beginning to set, it's amber rays streaming through the windows**

2005-08-01 [Igorina]: Jynx shrugged and smiled. She motioned for the jug of cider and poured Kit a glass and slid it down the counter

2005-08-02 [Lordterrex]: *Terrex looks at the setting sun, and takes out his pouch, pullign out a copper peice* where good spot to sleep ?

2005-08-02 [Kit Azhure]: Thanks Jynx. Travs do you have a map?

2005-08-02 [FiSHr.]: *Noct. scrambled up from his lying position and began his tale* Well do you remember a few weeks ago there was a chap in here who said he had found gold, well I rashly thought i could get some *noct pulls out a small package and unwraps it to reveal a bar of gold which he hands to the barman* so I went and only managed to get 10 bars just like that, the place was crawling with men, armed to the teeth, they spotted me and beat me up. Ive been living in the forest for last few weeks.

2005-08-03 [Lordterrex]: oooo.... *Terrexes eyes were riveted to the bar of gold*

2005-08-03 [FiSHr.]: thats for the bar man thankyou, It is not for you

2005-08-03 [travs the bean]: ** he raised his eyebrows and looked at the gold bar, then put the nugget away. Then looked back at kit** i'm so sorry, i havn't found it yet **he muddled about through old papers under the bar**

2005-08-04 [Skife]: *Bethel sipped at her own drink. She noticed Helena had gone back upstairs and decided she could speak with her again later. She had missed another day to go out and work for some money but she had enough to last her for a while yet. She looked over at Travs looking through his papers.* I hope you don’t mind me asking but what exactly are you looking for?

2005-08-04 [travs the bean]: a map of the town- but i've seemed to have misplaced it

2005-08-04 [Skife]: Tsk, that is too bad. I would have liked to take a look myself. Perhaps if you find it, and when she is done with it, *Bethel said looking to Kit* I can take a look at it if you don’t mind too much.

2005-08-04 [Kit Azhure]: No, but the map we are refering to is more than the town it should have the road where he was attacked.

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: LoReilly slipped silently into the tavern. She tried to be as unobtrusive as possible. Scanning the room, her eyes adjusted quickly to the low level of light. A scent in the air made her nose twitch. Something smelled...familiar.

2005-08-04 [Igorina]: Jynx slumped against the bar while the others talked and morosely ran her finger around the edge of her mug. She glanced up in disinterest at the sound of the door opening and shutting and then slapped her forehead. " Oh ye gods..." she groaned.

2005-08-04 [Igorina]: The halfling turned and played it cool at the counter. Maybe she wouldn't notice...

2005-08-04 [Skife]: *Bethel turned so she could look right at Kit.* Don’t tell me you are really planning going after that beast are you? Putting your life at danger for a complete stranger and not for a bit of gold at that, I don’t get it.

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: LoReilly moved forward, towards the bar, following the scent. The trail ended with a halfling who fastideously kept her back to the elven patron. LoReilly sat down beside her and asked for the strongest drink they served.

2005-08-04 [werethylacine]: Ealyal overheard the question. "Not that you're asking me, but... I think it's the good and right thing to do. It's better than growing old and rotting in self-absorbed safety, in my opinion. I know many others don't feel the same."

2005-08-04 [Igorina]: Meantime a beautifully awkward minute passed between Jynx and the newcomer sitting beside her. Jynx didn't know what SHE was thinking but Jynx certainly knew it would only be a matter of time. She waited and silently counted down...five...four...three...

2005-08-04 [Skife]: The right thing and killing a werewolf to save another one seems a little different. I could face a bit of danger, but fighting something that is stronger, faster, and could rip your throat out with its jaws seems a lot more like suicide.

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: LoReilly turned to the halfling. "You look familiar," she stated bluntly, "have you ever stolen from me before?"

2005-08-04 [Igorina]: "...one " muttered Jynx under her breath. She turned her eyes coolly towards the elf and remarked, " Would I be stupid enough to admit it if I had, darlin, ?"

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: "The stench of fear drips from your flesh," the wild elf remarked calmly.

2005-08-04 [Fizban]: *speaks up from his chair for the first time in a long time, letting all the others do as they will stare as they want, poke or prod, or burn.* umm...i dont know if its a good idea for you all to get involved...*hardly able to conceal the fear and sadness in his voice and face to the skilled at reading people* if i go after that...that bastard, then it wont matter if i get bitten, i can still hold silver weapons, my daggers and arrows werent effective on him because they were ordinary i see that now, however you cannot risk so much for some stupid kid who comes wandering into your town...i am already infected, none of you have to worry about it, or shoudl have to...

2005-08-04 [werethylacine]: "It's killing a werewolf who's killed many times before- and in my book, that counts as more right than it would be to kill its victim." Ealyal shrugged.

2005-08-04 [Igorina]: " If you just went through I went through a while ago, you'd be a bit edgy too, " said Jynx with a level stare back at the elf. " Let's say actin' skills come in handy..."

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: LoReilly overheard the conversation and her back went rigid. This time it was she who daren't look around, lest they see the anger smoldering in the depths of her amber golden eyes.

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: The wild elf nodded at Jynx. "That they do," she murmured.

2005-08-04 [Igorina]: " You came in here at a hell of a time, darlin' " said Jynx with a dark smile on her face. " You always did have impeccable timing..."

2005-08-04 [Fizban]: right...well, i havent precisly gotten those yet, and i hope to live to get that experience...

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: "and better reflexes," LoReilly smiled as she tossed the necklace the halfing hadn't known she was missing down on the tavern bar between them.

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: "So, there was a killing?" She arched her thick eyebrows and nodded her head ever so slightly at the men nearest them.

2005-08-04 [Kileaiya]: Ki nodded in agreement with Ealyal.

2005-08-04 [Fizban]: ((crap lock me up or soemtihng you have control, over my char for now, apparently i am in the story so do whatever you need i never have time anymore...dammit, so yeah like just lock me up))*falls unconsious with a loud thud after he hits the floor, his wounds start to bleed again, profusely, then they seem to just heal on there own, sealing themseles up, the scars from the claws and teeth remain*

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: LoReilly saw Fizban collapse. Something didn't smell right about this man's story. If there was another werewolf in this area she should have known it--smelled it on the wind.

2005-08-04 [Igorina]: Jynx was unimpressed. She pulled out the real necklace and dangled it in front of the elf's eyes. " You know I only wear my worthless trinkets in easy to reach places...keep it, it's glass anyways," she quipped as she snapped her finger and made the necklace vanish. " Stop trying to get the upper sleight-of-hand with the street magician darlin' and I won't contest your trackin' skills in the woods. Do you remember me now? "

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: "Cartell's tavern, on the oustkirts of Silverwood. All Hallows Eve. I believe the participants were 'making merry' and so were you." She sipped the drink that had found its way in front of her. "I remember being goaded into a fight...and a hand sliding its way into my tunic and cutting my purse strings just before I passed out from loss of blood." She smiled. "Nice work that."

2005-08-04 [Igorina]: Jynx sighed. " Yes...That was the way my old troupe worked...a little song, a little dance, a little purse cut from yar pants. Well...I was involved with the troupemaster back in those days so no offense...it was all business. All part of the show. I broke up with 'em not long after and went solo. You I remember though from all the other suckers the troupe took under its wing for a night and robbed blind by th' mornin'. It would have been nice to say that you were the one that set me straight but I'd be lying out me arse...I theived for four years after you. You were fun to talk to though during those weeks you and those other fellows stayed with the troupe. I guess that's why you stuck."

2005-08-04 [Igorina]: " Nice to see you did climb out of that ditch they threw you in " she added.

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: "Yes, well, it was luck that they decided to try and get rid of me at a certain time of the month. Else climbing my way out would have been a near imposibile feat."

2005-08-04 [Lordterrex]: *terrex snored looudly still sitting on his stool, he slapped at his face and slipped off onto the hard floor, waking with a start he screamed out* whos there whos there!?!?!?! *Pulling out his sword he looks around to see some new faces in the tavern*... o... musta sleepded

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: Terrex made such a clatter that LoReilly nearly leapt from her stool. As it was, she dug her nails into the wood of the bar. She'd forgotten how much racket these people made.

2005-08-04 [Igorina]: " Luck had nothing to do with it..." said Jynx with a strange smile. She shrugged. " So anyways...now that you've figured out I was that theif you remember, what now? I'm afraid yar not getting yar money back. I'm already bustin' my chops for the old man here and still barely makin' a livin' Nothin' personal... I reckon it's comforting to know I'm no longer in the theivin' business. That's about it really..."

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: "I came here looking for...another type of trouble," she nursered her drink. "Finding you was just an odd circumstance." She paused and looked around the room again. "I hold no malice. Coin matters less to me than most."

2005-08-04 [Igorina]: " Noble of ya, " said Jynx without much enthusiam. " As for trouble...aren' t we all doin' that, darlin'. Like I said before you picked a hell of a time...and a hell of a place. The old man's fair but you'd best keep it on the low...he's a mean 'un with the cleaver..." She jerked her thumb in the direction of Travs at the far end of the bar still rummaging through things under the counter.

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: "I shall...take your advice...to heart. There seem to be many...prejudices...in this town. Moreso than I had hoped I would find here."

2005-08-04 [Kit Azhure]: Kathryn cleared her throat from her seat she had been listening to there conversation, "Did I hear right you are an excellent tracker?"

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: LoReilly turned and gazed at Kit cooly. "One of the best," she didn't bother to sound modest.

2005-08-04 [Kit Azhure]: I am going to go after what attacked him.... it would be helpfull if an above and beyond tracker came with me, but of course if you could reccomend someone

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: "I can lend you a hand...but I'd require some information first...on how the attack occured."

2005-08-04 [Kit Azhure]: "Apparently he was riding along got thrown then attacked. Anymore and you'll have to wake him, it looks like he is starting to change... i wonder how long til full moon." Kathryn said in responce.

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: "Three days," she responded without thinking. Then added, "he was bitten by an animal?"

2005-08-04 [Kit Azhure]: "I dont believe he said. But the marks where those of one close to the change." Kathryn responded without thinking "The claw marks in a distinctly five fingered patterns."

2005-08-04 [LoReilly]: "Do you intend to kill what did this to him?" She couldn't in good conscience lead a party intent on murdering one of her own. Not that they needed to know that. It wasn't that she disagreed that if it was rogue it would need to be put down...it was just that people tended to overreacted and kill in a situation that didn't always call for it.

2005-08-04 [Kileaiya]: Ki walked up and spoke to LoReilly "Yes we intend to kill him, he has killed 8 so far and that is just this month. This lad was lucky that it didn't outright kill him, if you could call it luck."

2005-08-04 [FiSHr.]: *looked around at the werewolf and shudders*

2005-08-04 [Lordterrex]: *terrex rubbed the sleep from his ees, looking at Loreilly strangely, his mind wandered to something he had heard before, somethign wast right about this one.*.. well.... if we be going on a hunt.. than i be coming.... what we hunting now? *he pulled his bow from his sack whistling a toon* ims a might warrior, and a great hunter, best tracker i knows ^^ *Terrex stated, his chest puffed out in pride* you be good lor?

2005-08-04 [Kit Azhure]: Easy lad those weapons will be useless on this hunt. And in answer to your question... ms...? Only if he wont agree to keep to livestock, he could be young and only able to catch humans

2005-08-04 [Fizban]: *moans a bit lying on the floor*

2005-08-04 [travs the bean]: ** the barkeep looked up at the commotion and the lad moaning on the floor-** you better get him down in the cellar soon- bad for business it is to 'ave him thrashing about like that** he placed the silver dagger on the counter and looked at the rest- * any of you ever thought that they might come back for him - if so then you will no be the hunter but the hunted- once bitten - i've heard they stayin packs and to reclaim them for their numbers. you might have more on your hands than you think.

2005-08-04 [FiSHr.]: *lept off his chair and a lugged the lad to the cellar*

2005-08-04 [Kit Azhure]: "But that is only if it was a pack. From what has been said this is a lone werewolf."

2005-08-04 [FiSHr.]: barkeep what should I do, should I chain him up?

2005-08-04 [travs the bean]: are you sure??? **their attention was cut short as the lad grabbed nocturnus and lifted him into the air with incredible strength and growled at him as it clutched his tunic. Noct's eyes grew wide in fear and a silver coin slipped to the ground as [Fizban] tossed him like a ragdoll into the corner of the room - the by turned towards the rest and snarled his eyes glazing over**

2005-08-04 [travs the bean]: the sun faded through the windows as the evening slowly closed in on the little inn

2005-08-04 [FiSHr.]: *Panting Nocturnus got up and and hid In the corner*

2005-08-04 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep grabbed the dagger and raised it in his hand, balancing it in his finger and watched as [Fizban] sunk back to the ground in pain**

2005-08-04 [travs the bean]: **he then looked towards [FiSHr.] and called* get up lad! and hold steady!

2005-08-04 [FiSHr.]: *Nocturnus lay still*

2005-08-04 [Lordterrex]: *Terrexes eyes grew in his sockets as he saw and realized what was going on* HE BE CURSED!!! in northlands, there be tribes of them, they mighty strong, and feirce fighters!! I think i take him to the cellar, he is not full changed, and i fight one of them once.... dont let yourself be scared..... *his chainmail rattled as he walked towards the boy on the floor.* do we have a lil jail? bars keep him in while moon is high....
