2005-06-22 [FiSHr.]: *moop head snapped up at the noise, something wasn't right*

2005-06-22 [Erestor]: Did you here that??

2005-06-22 [FiSHr.]: I heard it...

2005-06-22 [Erestor]: I'm going to go investigate *he unsheathed his blades* anyone else coming - could use your hammer travs.

2005-06-22 [FiSHr.]: *wish he could come but his knives were taken off him*

2005-06-22 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep laughed** hammer - and where do you get the idea that i weild a hammer **he said, placing a large meat cleaver on the table** besides it's prob a rat or something, if you lads want to investigate be my guest, a little vermin to exterminate might provide some experiance and entertainment**he laughed and placed the cleaver away**

2005-06-22 [travs the bean]: so quick to rush to battle i see, be careful young knights -you might run into something bigger than you can chew- the rats these day can get pretty large**he smiled again and poured another drink as if he knew of darker things, but he said nothing**

2005-06-22 [Erestor]: Righty - looks like I am by myself.

2005-06-22 [Erestor]: *Erestor reappeared and shook his head* Nothing

2005-06-22 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep looked up** nothing?? not even a rat i see- well here have a drink for trying young elf** he poured the lad a glase of ale and put it on the counter**

2005-06-22 [someelf]: **Blinks and watches the bartender** Your good ^^

2005-06-22 [Erestor]: Thanks *He picked up the ale* How much is a permenant room on the 2nd floor? I have 58 copper and 5 silver.

2005-06-22 [travs the bean]: That will buy you a couple of evenings- **the barkeep spoke, figuring out the break down in his head** 3 copper to a silverpc and 2 copper to a gold and 4 gold to a jade piece.....

2005-06-22 [someelf]: **Coughes softly** Can I have an eldenberry? Please.

2005-06-22 [FiSHr.]: *moop looks up from his proetry*

2005-06-22 [Erestor]: So a private room costs 3 silver pieces?

2005-06-22 [FiSHr.]: *sighs*

2005-06-22 [travs the bean]: 3 per night lad, find work and it could become permant**he poured a glass of eldenberry and took it to the young lady sitting at her table. ** here you go m'lady, enjoy** than turned and headed back to the bar- where [Erestor] was counting through his coin**

2005-06-22 [FiSHr.]: thats what i need

2005-06-22 [Erestor]: There you go - 9 coins: 3 nights pay.

2005-06-22 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep pocketed the coins- **you can take the corner room on the 2nd floor

2005-06-22 [travs the bean]: **he pulled a key from the rack and handed it to [Erestor]**when you are ready [Rennie] will show you to your room-

2005-06-22 [someelf]: Thank you ^^ *She sips softly and softly hums an Elvensong that is humbeling in her head**

2005-06-22 [Erestor]: Will do. I'll be seeing you all later - I'm very tired. *Erestor said his goodbyes and then exited up to the 2nd floor.*

2005-06-22 [travs the bean]: It's not even the witching hour**the barkeep smiled as he watched the elf climb upwards

2005-06-22 [someelf]: **She gave the barkeeper a golden coin and she softly yawned.** I think I should head back to my homeplace. *As she hiccups softly*

2005-06-22 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep gave her a warm smile- it had been a generous tip and he was grateful for every bit that came his way**

2005-06-22 [Igorina]: Jynx had set herself by the elf listening to the music and tapping her hand against the wall. She swigged the last of her ale and yawned. She tended to be a night owl but she needed a good twenty minutes of solid sleep at least since it had been a long day's travel. Then she would be ready for the rest of the night. She had already gotten her key from [Rennie] and headed to the stairs, setting her cup on the table as she went. **See you all later tonight** she called over her shoulder to the common room and headed upstairs.

2005-06-22 [travs the bean]: ** the barkeep nodded to the halfling, he couldn't believe that the night was still young and the bar was almost empty. He sighed to himself and wiped the bar down again before he sat by his papers and maps and began to search**

2005-06-23 [someelf]: **As she left she bowed to the bartender and the other elf. Wishing them a goodnight.

2005-06-23 [Asryth]: *Asryth nodded back to the lady elf as she left the tavern.* Master Barman, could I trouble you for a room? I think I just may stay here a while. I would like to pay you now. *Asryth got up from his table in the corner, and walked over to the bar. Producing a weighty leather bag, he opened it and started counting the coins still in the bag. After loosing count a few times, he dumped the bag of silver onto the table. Although everyone had gone to bed, he looked around suspiciously. Quickly sorting through them, he counted out 21 silvers.* I know. Quite a bit of change to be carrying about, eh? *He said as he swept the remaining coins back into the bag.  cont.

2005-06-23 [Asryth]: *I always carry a large supply of silver. You never now when you may need to melt down a coin or two to make a 'special' arrow tip. *The elf gave the barkeep a look as if they shared some secret.* I should like to keep my silver supply here, rather than with a safehouse. Do you mind? *Asryth slowly pushed the heavy leather sack toward the barkeep. Then he pushed the pile of 21 silvers toward him.* That should cover a few nights sleep... and a few days use of your strongbox.

2005-06-23 [bluefarie]: *walks in...sighs, & sits on a stool..*

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep took the money and put it away - 1st floor- corner room with a window**he said handing the elf a key. The barkeep than put the rest of the bags away -and turned to [bluefarie] * and what would you like to drink?** he said warmly- wiping a glass down**

2005-06-23 [FiSHr.]: 8moop ordered another specail*

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep motioned to [Rennie] who brought [FiSHr.] another plate and small glass of ale**

2005-06-23 [Fizban]: *a slim man of about 5'10' walks in with a hood over his head off from a gray cloak draped over his shoulders. He walks cautiously through the door, seemingly staring at the floor as he goes. Walks to the front of the bar, and asks for some wine in a very light voice*

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep nodded, and after some thought pulled down a dark bottle of Brandy Wine and filled a wooden glass which he placed in front of the newcommer** welcome stranger

2005-06-23 [Fizban]: *still keeping his hood closed down enshrouding his face he looks to the barkeep* um, hello sir...may i have a room for later?? *takes a sip* this is very good wine, *hands the barkeep 3 silver from a pouch strapped against his hip*

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep collected the coin, and pulls an old key from behind the bar- you may have the room with the window by the main sleeping hall- - it is amazing how much coin people have- the times must be good**he chuckled as the silver slipped away into a hidden pouch**

2005-06-23 [Fizban]: if only if only...*sighs quietly to himself, then takes another 3 silver out and hands it to the barkeep for the room, takes the key, and slips it into a pocket in his pants, then takes hold of his money pouch and tightly closes it, holding it in his hand, he takes the glass of wine and slowly walks to the corner of the room, to sit as far away from the other people as possible*

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: ** the barkeep put the silver away and watched the man find a seat. He watched the shadows fall and as the night drew on, he listened to the quiet whispers and talking of the patrons, he could hear everynow and then the creaking of wood from above- but said very little cursing to himself about the rats and such and how it could be bad for business**

2005-06-23 [someelf]: **As the elf walks back in she walks straight over to the barkeeper. "I have a quiestion, Sir."

2005-06-23 [Fizban]: *eyes the elf with interest, startled to see her here, then taking careful notice in making sure no one could see he was watching her*

2005-06-23 [someelf]: **Blinks and noticed she got watched at.. She turns and smiles at [Fizban]. As she thinks he's watching her. She turns and awaits the barkeeper's responze.**

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep raised an eyebrow and studied the elf girl for a moment** yes

2005-06-23 [someelf]: "Can I.. Can I work here?" Her ears twitch a bit up and down. "I mean, make some music, to make it more comfortble here? ^^ I would love to do it.." **She says softly and slightly blushing, while looking at the floor.**

2005-06-23 [Fizban]: ((lols noticed she's being watched, not got watched at haha lols...thats just funny...))*takes another sip of his wine, and simple stares down at his table*

2005-06-23 [Fizban]: *gets up and walks outside**comes back in with a few light bags in his hands and under his arms, after having put his horse in a stable**walks up stairs to his room and unlocks the door to relieve himself of his baggage*

2005-06-23 [someelf]: ((hehe ^^ i wrote it down before i saw what you wrote at the end.. sorry ^^'))

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep pulled at his chin for a moment** i don't know, we dont hire talant but we do let them showcase here and they can keep all the tips for their music. I have no problems with letting you perform- the crowd might be tough at times- plus mind you, there are others who want to sing as well and play as well.

2005-06-23 [someelf]: Sure ^^ I do it for free ^^ I just do it for fun ^^ Not for the money :) **She smiled happy, and hugged the barkeeper ^^** Thank you! *She bowed.**

2005-06-23 [Erestor]: *Emerges from the staircase.* travs, would it be possible for me too be a messenger boy into the heart of Elftown for you, to earn my keep?

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: ** The barkeep made a face, and smiled back as the young elf took to her music.. He shook his head and then looked towards [Erestor] and raised his brow* let me think on it, son, **he said wiping down another glass and putting it on the bar**

2005-06-23 [Erestor]: *Erestor nodded and after ordering yet another ale, he went and sat down.

2005-06-23 [someelf]: **She softly sang a song while playing with an guitar she brought along from her hometown.**

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: ** he put another glass of ale for [Erestor] on his table** ever thought of hiring yourself to another patron- sort of as a body guard or adventurer?? **the barkeep asked quietly** i would reckon there are several people in the town which could use your skills as guide, or protector.

2005-06-23 [Sylvia Rote]: ~the newest barmaid comes stumbling in, being a few minutes late. Looking around, she saunter across the room to the bar keep.~ Sorry I'm late. Where do you need me, Boss?

2005-06-23 [Fizban]: *sets them all down next to the bed, walks back down stairs after locking the door and pocketing the key, sits back down with his wine and waits at the back table**he sips the wine with a shaking hand and lightly taps his other hand idly as he continues to glance back and forth about the room*

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: ** the barkeep smiled at the lass, as he looked up from his conversation with [Erestor]** we need some more ale from the storage room as well as a few of the tables cleaned- seems some of our patron have left their mugs about, and don't be afraid but take some timee to get know them **he said with a warm smile**

2005-06-23 [Sylvia Rote]: ~smiles as she looks around~ oh you know i can't pass up a good conversation opportunity. ~she goes over to start gathering mugs and tips bfore getting out more ale, giving broad smiles to everyone as she passes~

2005-06-23 [Erestor]: Thanks. I would agree that would be good. I did a small guiding job before Lerune found me.

2005-06-23 [someelf]: **She waved at [Sylvia Rote] as she passed her, getting her tips from the tables, continueing her song a bit higher, not so scared anymore as first**

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: (fiz- go to the upstairs to post that:))

2005-06-23 [Sylvia Rote]: ~she started moving in beat with [someelf]'s song as she cleans tables not in use.~

2005-06-23 [someelf]: **Smiles and makes her song a bit wilder but still that everyone can hear eachother.**

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: Well lad, post it on the board- i am sure someone will hire you for your services..never know - seems a lot of rich folk come through here

2005-06-23 [Fizban]: ((oh, you mean what i said about the bed and my stuff...oh...okay, lols this is going to take getting used to switching and such))

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep smiled and got backup from his spot walking past Fizban who had returned from upstairs. He rounded the corner of the bar and put his work away as more people cam in- stuffing the maps and notes back under the bar. The with a grin he wiped his hands clean and leaned back enjoying the atmosphere- of the song and the smiles induced from good ale and low prices**

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: the evening wore on, heading far past midnight. The candles faded a bit and a cool evening breeze found it's way through the open doors**

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep locked the earnings up as he the elf still sang on- and the others sipped their drinks.He yawned for a moment and then looked at the crowd, than back to the bar- figiting for an apple from the barrel next to the drink case. He munched slowly and poured himself a cool glass of mead, where he took a good draught from and then looked towards the kitchen.. He paused for a moment and realized he had missed his evening meal and slowly walked to the kitchen for a plate of cheese and breads**

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: **he returned with a wooden plate a laid it on the counter where he had a better view of the tavern. The cheese was well aged and tasted strong but was washed down with a quick swig of the cool mead. **

2005-06-23 [someelf]: **She stop singing for a moment and walked over to the bar and sitted before the barkeeper. "Feeling well?" She asks wondering, putting her guitar next to her on the chair*

2005-06-23 [Igorina]: Jynx stumbled through the bar and outside, rubbing her face and yawning. It was not in Jynx's nature to be ladylike about these sorts of things and slip about through a back entrance as if it was embarassing.

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: ** the barkeep rubbed his chin and smiled** i'm fine, thank you though for asking

2005-06-23 [someelf]: Okej *Steals some of his cheese and jumps off her chair and walks over where she sat before with her guitar and start to sing an Angelic song she learned from her home place.**

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: **he cocked an eyebrow at the thief and then pushed the plate to the side as siped his mead...his shift would soon be over and he would have a moment to rest when [Igorina] would watch the bar for a moment*

2005-06-23 [Igorina]: A couple of minutes later, Jynx wandered back in and up the stairs again. **I washed b'fore I came back in** she said to the barkeep as she started up the stairs. She held up her hands in affirmation. **Always keep a bar of lye soap handy, y'know?** She disappeared upstairs again.

2005-06-23 [travs the bean]: JYNX! **the barkeep called**- your shift starts soon you better not be late!

2005-06-24 [Asryth]: *Asryth mumbled tiredly* Hmmmph. Young elf thinks she knows about turning a song... and a GUITAR... well... how unrefined. *Az took his key and belongings (minus the silver stash) up to floor one.

2005-06-24 [someelf]: **She blinked and looked at [Asryth] and stoped singing. Embarrased. As she blushed majorly she softly continued singing, looking towards the ground, gently jingling on her guitar.**

2005-06-24 [Igorina]: Jynx's head appeared on the top part of the banister. **Ye gods....I knew you'd make me work sooner or later**she remarked dryly.**See you soon then, old man** She vanished once more.

2005-06-24 [travs the bean]: ** the barkeep looked at the halfling and sighed- he then walked to the singer and gave her a few more coins ** I thought it was very nice m'lady- you can play more if you would like

2005-06-24 [Rennie]: *finally walks out of the kitchen, kneading her sore back muttering about dishes* Smiles as she realizes someone is singing and walks up to her* care to make a tune to dance to this fine eve? *hitches her skirts up to her knees, ready to dance for the inn*

2005-06-24 [Erestor]: *Erestorexited still reading his book, that no-one had caught the title of yet*

2005-06-24 [someelf]: ** The Elf smiled hapily and took the coins.** Thank you. I would be happy to sing in your tarven. **She bowed to [Rennie] "Of course I can." as she played some louder and singed a dance song, you could easy to get a argue to dance in. As she smiled happily.**

2005-06-24 [Rennie]: *danced across in front of the elf, enjoying herself and kicking her skirts...smiling and beckoning towards the barkeep to join*

2005-06-24 [someelf]: **Giggles softly under her sang and kept on singing. And jingeling on her guitar.**

2005-06-24 [FiSHr.]: *listened intently*

2005-06-24 [travs the bean]: ** the barkeep smiled and shook his head- as he wiped his hands down with a towel and watched his barmaid dance through the crowd*

2005-06-24 [Igorina]: Jynx came down sometime in the middle of this and took a moment to lean against the bar and watch the merriment with hooded eyes. She glanced over at the barkeep as [Rennie] beckoned.**Not gonna go kick up yar heels then, old fellow?**she asked with a droll smile on her face. Jynx could dance of course, but never liked to if she could help it. It always made her feel rather silly.

2005-06-24 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep glanced at her for a moment ** no not really, been ages since i danced besides i am worn down- ** he took an apron and handed it to Jynx** he cracked his neck and stretched. ** watch the freebies Jynx,** he stated and walked into the kitchen and upstairs to his room

2005-06-24 [Sylvia Rote]: ~Kayla had sat down at a table a while ago and fallen asleep, but awoke quickly at the sound of dance music from the Elf~ Oh it's ben a age or two since I've danced...

2005-06-24 [someelf]: **Smiled at Sylvia and herself she danced around with her guitar, around and between the tables. Entertaiming them**

2005-06-24 [Sylvia Rote]: ~moving slowly at first with the beat, she got up and and startd to dance a bit along with the young Elf~

2005-06-24 [someelf]: **Grins and dances with Sylvia, with her guitar in her hands, jingeling loudly, so everyone can hear it upstairs.**

2005-06-24 [Sylvia Rote]: ~laughs a bit, getting into the dance~

2005-06-24 [travs the bean]: ** the music flowed and the crowd remained merry for some time - as the night moved on past the witching hour

2005-06-24 [FiSHr.]: *moops head crashed onto the table and he started snoring*

2005-06-24 [someelf]: **Blinks at [FiSHr.] and giggles softly under her song**

2005-06-24 [FiSHr.]: *moop falls off his chair*

2005-06-24 [someelf]: **She shimmerd a pillow under his head, so his head doesn't get cold**

2005-06-24 [FiSHr.]: *sighs*

2005-06-24 [Igorina]: **I know not the meaning of the word 'freebie'** Jynx remarked as she slipped on the apron and stepped behind the counter. She smiled. He still had the little wheeled stool under the counter. She hopped up on it and scooted smoothly down the counter, ready to work.

2005-06-24 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: * slowly walked into the taven amist music and laughter and sat down in front of the bar* Could I get a drink and a room please?"

2005-06-24 [Igorina]: Jynx scooted leisurely back towards her. **If your money's good, there's no problem. What'll you have darlin'?**

2005-06-24 [Sylvia Rote]: (oops, sorry)

2005-06-25 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: "Eldenberry please and bed in the common room if they're not all taken. * puts 1 silver and 3 copper on the counter*

2005-06-25 [Igorina]: Jynx took the money, bit the silver piece nonchalantly and then put her fingers in her mouth and whistled sharply for one of the barmaids to come and see about a room for the lady. She pushed away from the bar, spun a bit, grabbed a eldenberry bottle in mid-spin and circled gracefully back to the bar to pour the drink for the lady. **There ya are, darlin'** she said.

2005-06-25 [The Scarlet Pumpernickle]: *smiled softly said"Thanks" and sipped her drink*

2005-06-25 [FiSHr.]: *moop woke up*

2005-06-25 [someelf]: **Played a bit softher since it's a bit late.. **

2005-06-27 [travs the bean]: the music and merriement lasted for several hours until the party noticed several craks of light peering through the windows- morning had come-

2005-06-27 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep entered the main hall with a new barrel of ale on his shoulder. He looked at the what was left of a grand party- and placed the barrel on the bar. Most all had gone and the dust settled- Jynx was asleep at the bar and with a warm smile...the old barkeep nudged her awake.** must have been some party last night my friend? **he quiped, while grabbing a broom to start cleaning the foors and such before the regulars were to come down for meals**

2005-06-27 [Fizban]: *comes down the stairs slowly, almost tripping over his own feet*

2005-06-27 [Fizban]: *makes his way to a table and sits down, begins to fix his garments so they fit correctly, notices the bartender and makes a weak wave of hello, while looking down at the same time as to keep his face from the sun*

2005-06-27 [Rennie]: *comes out from the back, rubbing her eyes tiredly, adjusting her clothing*

2005-06-27 [travs the bean]: *the barkeep nodded than continued his chores for the morning**

2005-06-27 [someelf]: *Leans her head on her guitar, as she sits on the ground, sleeping. Her ears twitch at every moment she breaths.*

2005-06-27 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep made his way back to the bar- and started piling up the discarded and used bottles of the day before. He enjoyed the morning rays as the streamed through the dust floating in the air, giving the room a mystical appearance. It was not even 10 yet the warmth could be felt and it was refreshing**

2005-06-27 [someelf]: **wakes up some afther the sunshine came in her face, as she stood up she smiled some and waved at the bartender as she whisperd softly "Morning" as she knew her voice was a bit dry afther a whole night singing and dancing.*

2005-06-27 [travs the bean]: morning*the barkeep smiled putting a glass of water on the counter for her*

2005-06-27 [someelf]: Thank you *grabs the glass and she slowly drinks it*

2005-06-27 [Fizban]: *turns to the bartender* um, sir what non-alcholic drinks do you have??...anything besides water??

2005-06-27 [travs the bean]: warm milk, i supose.....then there's a watered down version of mead we's gots

2005-06-27 [Igorina]: Jynx raised her head and looked around. **Upps...fell asleep** she yawned. **Yeah...was quite nice. Bit quieter than th' ones I'm used to** She poured herself a good morning nip of black root ale and hopped down, humming serenely to herself.

2005-06-27 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep watched her go and shook his head with a smile, a curious one that halfling was he mused to himself*

2005-06-28 [Asryth]: *The elf made his way into the common room and over to the bar. He mussed his dark hair, and tied it back with a strap. With his hair out of his face, one could see a scar that split his left brow and a tatoo on his cheek.*  'Morning, sir. Might I have a bit of the Black Root, as well?  *He said, nodding to Jynx and her drink.*  Hair of the dog... and all that. Morning, M'lady.

2005-06-28 [someelf]: **As she looked at the barkeeper she smiled and bowed "Thank you, that I could play last night. But I was wondering.." As she put her hand in one of her manny pockets in her jackets "Where is it?" She mumbles some words and one of ehr pockets start to glow "Oh there it is.." as she takes it out of her pocket you can see it was pure gold. "Can I sleep here for a couple of days? My sons are away for a weekend, and my husband is training for the new battle between Angels. So I am all alone. Which I don't like.. So yeah that's why I was wondering ^^' And my daughters.. Yeah.. *Humzz..* A room for two then ^_^ please." (can I put my rp daughty in here o.O) As she blinks and smiled some, yawning.*

2005-06-28 [FiSHr.]: *sits on a stool at the bar*

2005-06-28 [travs the bean]: you can take one of the two private rooms on the second floor with windows-** the barkeep said pocketing the gold...he mused angels and sighed- ahh the people you find in the town, as he grabbed a mug and poured [Asryth] his drink and passed it to him. Then with a smile he turned to [FiSHr.] ** and what will it be for you sir??

2005-06-28 [FiSHr.]: an ale please

2005-06-28 [someelf]: Thank you. ^_^ *She smiled and looked to the stairs* Mind if I took a look?

2005-06-28 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep poured the ale from the barrel and without even looking up *sure go ahead m'lady- you can check the roomm out- they're a little worn down but that is to be expected**he said passing the full mug to [FiSHr.]**

2005-06-28 [someelf]: Okie thank you. *bows and leaves to go upstairs to her room*

2005-06-28 [travs the bean]: **he nods as she leaves, the turns his attention back to his work**

2005-06-28 [Igorina]: ** Mornin' yarself, handsome ** Jynx remarked as she leaned against the bar and smiled in her drink. " Din't feel like sticking around for th' merry-making? Was quite good y'know. Even put the barkeep to sleep **she cracked. **You with a bard guild or a lone wolf? **she added. She always enjoyed making connections with fellow entertainers.

2005-06-28 [travs the bean]: had i stayed half pint- who would have run the bar this morning... if you are going to dance all night you still have to pay the fiddler in the morning- and since i wasn't about to dance all night- i feel a tad richer in both pocket and spirit** he smiled slyly back to the halfling**

2005-06-28 [travs the bean]: **with a flick of a wrist and a small snap of the towel, the barkeep finished the bar counter. He stepped back for a moment and admired his work- enjoying the refreshing finish, but then quickly returned back to the reality that someone would still spill on it this day. A neverending task it seemed as pulled two fresh bottles out and placed them on the rack. He wondered when the next shipment would arrive and looked forward to the bartering of the next supplier that made his way to tavern**

2005-06-28 [Asryth]: Well... might as well get some rest when you can, eh?  *Az said to Jynx*  Besides, you still had music.  *The elf took a long pull of ale.* Yes. I am with one of the smaller guilds. Strictly elves. One of the oldest in Elftown. EBG, District 2. Elven Bardic Guild.

2005-06-28 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep smiled and wiped another glass down and put it away**

2005-06-28 [Sylvia Rote]: ~Sylvia comes walking in, humming a tune from last night, and smiles to the bar keeper as she sets off to work~

2005-06-28 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep smiled back and went back to work his mind obviously somewhere else. **

2005-06-28 [Sylvia Rote]: ~she walks over by him to fill some mugs with ale.~ so who ya thinkin' about, Boss? ~she smiles at him~

2005-06-28 [travs the bean]: **he raised a his brow and then smiled** just work and making ends meet here- nothing much really

2005-06-28 [Sylvia Rote]: Well you seem to be else where, but ~shrugs~ i could be wrong.

2005-06-28 [travs the bean]: **he smiled at her and poured himself a glass of water** don't worry lass, i'll be fine- just a bit of moment nothing else.

2005-06-28 [Asryth]: *Downing the last bit of ale, Az wiped his mouth and turned to the Halfling.*  So... I heard last night that you are something of an entertainer, yourself? I have a business proposition for you.

2005-06-28 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep took a swig of his water as the elf and the halfling spoke. He then turned his attention to the bar maids as they made their way throught the main hall cleaning and tiding up a bit. After a moment of reflection he went back to check his inventory noticing that several stocks were low. It would be good if a trader came by soon, he sighed pushing through the empty bottles searching fro what was left of the brandy wine**

2005-06-28 [Igorina]: Jynx grinned winningly at the barkeep's earlier remark. **I'm up all hours** she told the barkeep.**That was just a catnap y'caught** She turned back to the elf and made her face carefully blank as she ran a finger thoughtfully over the rim of her glass. ** 'Business' and ' propostion' are two words that should be approached carefully when used together like that, handsome** she remarked. **I'm listening**

2005-06-28 [Asryth]: Point taken. An 'arrangement' then, perhaps? I'm to understand that you are a magician and well taught in slight-of-hand?

2005-06-28 [travs the bean]: i wouldn't trust her, elf.**the bartender chimmed** she'll swipe your gems before you know it and the strings of your harp while you play,**he smiled at the halfling and then glanced away, yet she still knew he watching her**

2005-06-28 [Asryth]: *Chuckled*  Thank ye for the warning, good barkeep, but she stands to make a fair deal of coin for her troubles. I trust enough that she won't need to resort to thievery.  *The elf turned back to Jynx*  As I was about to say, I have been rehearsing a grand tale of my own writing. I'm something of a storyteller, as all good bards are. I was thinking that with a bit of flare and fireworks... WE could pull in a good amount of coin. That is if the good barkeep, here, would allow us to use the premises for the show? P'raps bring in a few more customers?

2005-06-29 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep raised his brow, still looking at his work** no fireworks, i'm not having this place go up like a torch, loosing the last tavern that way is enough for me.... don't mind the magic but no fire being thrown about...even though there is a lot hand carved mohagony here- it's still wood and wood still burns**

2005-06-29 [Igorina]: **I'm a halfing handsome. Big words scare us li'l folk. Let's call it a gig. As for sleight-of-hand...** She waved a hand over her drink and seemingly produced a shining steel ball from the ale. She opened and closed her hand in rapid sucession and two, three, four balls appeared. She closed her hand and they all vanished. Then she looked up at the elf and smiled and the steel ball appeared between her teeth. She spat it out in her hand, threw it up in the air and it vanished once more. **I can do a few tricks yes** she said nonchalantly and gave the barkeep a sly look but said nothing in reply.

2005-06-29 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep shook his head**

2005-06-29 [Asryth]: I was thinking a bit of illusion rather than real flame. No need for the Barkeep to call the fire brigade. You are a magician as well, yes? You can produce a few images and sounds perhaps?

2005-06-29 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep paused, he had heard a scratching sound from the ceiling above which put him on edge. with a great deal of frustration he grabbed a broom and banged the ceiling, yelling something about rotten little vermin, keeping the customers away and how a rat catcher cost way too much these days. Within a few moments the scratch went away and justified the barkeep put the broom down and went back to his work, keeping one eye towards the ceiling every now and then**

2005-06-29 [Asryth]: *looked taken aback at the Barkeeps rucus. His thoughts went back to the previous night for a moment. He hoped that rats were the worst thing that might inhabit the walls of the Tavern.*  Uh... what was I... Oh yes. The 'gig' as you called it. Could you, p'raps, come up with an illusion or two? Maybe in a wisp of smoke?

2005-06-29 [travs the bean]: hate rats, sorry about that**the barkeep looked at the elf and took another drink of his water**

2005-06-29 [Igorina]: The halfling downed the last of her ale and set it on the table. **Give me the rundown of the story first and then we'll talk about cutting a deal** she said calmly **I don't normally work with elves, since we halflings tend to be lowly li'l theives anyhows...not worried I'll smudge your radiant reputation?** She waited, studying him with her patent poker face.

2005-06-29 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep chuckled to himself and brashness of the halfling**

2005-06-29 [TheRogue]: how dry I ammmm......how dry I ammmmm.. nobuddy nose...how dry I ammmmmmmm....*sways merrily*

2005-06-29 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep poured a glass of water and put it at his friends table** should i help you to your room- my friend- you seem to be a little tipsy

2005-06-29 [Asryth]: Even if my reputation were 'radiant' I wouldn't be worried in the least. All have their gifts, eh?  *Az gave Jynx a warm smile. He began to feel run down. Perhaps because of the uncomfortable sleep of the night before. Perhaps because of the liquor.*  Master Barkeep, have you a hot cup of chicory? I should like to clear my senses, a bit.  *Addressing Jynx again, he continued.*  It's a typical tale of love and war. Our young hero sets of on a quest to find glory, and discovers true love instead. It's a somewhat lengthy tale. I could give you a basic overview and we could discuss visual cues, but first, I would like to say one thing. (cont.)

2005-06-29 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep looked up from his friend** I'll check the kitchen for you master elf

2005-06-29 [Asryth]: I would consider this a partnership, and will accept no more and no less than half the earnings.

2005-06-29 [TheRogue]: I think it is time that I retire to my humble yet lavishly overdone quarters, to which you are so gracious to furnish me with, master Travssss.. *grins* I shall report immediately to there of my own two feet. *stands up and face plants on the floor* ((Technically i've been sitting here a week and drinking..LOL))

2005-06-29 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep picked his friend up by the arm and stablied him as he helped him to his room** a week bah, tis only been a day and a night, but alas you seem to have drunk far more than your share - so off be you until you sobered up a little**he laughed as he motioned to [Rennie] to give the rogue a hand up the stairs**

2005-06-29 [TheRogue]: I love you man....no really... I love you man..yer tha beshtesht buddy a scoundrel like me cood ever have.. no sherioushly.. I love you man... *laugh*

2005-06-29 [Kileaiya]: Kileaiya had been standing outside the tavern for a bit just watching the stars she loved fade into morning's first light and had heard the kind old barkeep speak of a rat catcher. On that cue being a tiger and all she entered the Tavern and offered her help free of charge as long as the barkeep provide her a glass of warm milk. Time for a bit of sport now anyways.

2005-06-29 [Fizban]: *lifts his head up, after having been sitting in the same spot for hours doing nothing but thinking**glances over twords the drunken man slurring every third word while talking the the barkeep and the barsmaid helping him upstairs* *then looks wearily over to the tiger and jumps a bit at its non-chalant entrance**draws his right hand into his robe and backs away into the corner of the room, then glances around confused at everyone elses lack of reaction*

2005-06-29 [Kileaiya]: With a glance toward Fizban and a cheshire cat grin Ki spoke to the wary one 'You've nothing to fear, I mean you no harm'

2005-06-29 [Erestor]: *After sitting in the corner for a while Erestor stands and exits through the main door*

2005-06-29 [Fizban]: hmms....you are obviously abnormal and apparently by everyone simply brushing off your apperance as thou it was little more than average, i suppose i will have to take your word for it. Oy vey, i need a drink now. *sits down at a barstool, after removing his hand from the inside of his robes, for a second a glint of metal can be seen as his cloak drags slightly on the floor behind him as he moves twords the stool**adjusts his hood to keep peering eyes from glancing upon his face, and sits waiting for a the barkeep to finish with his drunken friend*

2005-06-29 [Kileaiya]: 'I'm an anthro we're not all that uncommon and I find that slightly offensive, but your entitled to your opinion.' Ki says politely.

2005-06-29 [Fizban]: anthro...oh, i didnt realize...there not so commen at all where i come from...actually there basically non-apparent. Sorry, i wasn't intending to offend you, please excuse my ignorance.

2005-06-29 [Kileaiya]: 'Well I must admit I am not your average anthro I have 2 other forms, it's complicated that, but I have a halfling and full tigress form, I'm not from anywhere near around these parts.' Ki says, 'and think nothing of it, if your not aware of something it can not be helped unless explained.'

2005-06-29 [Fizban]: hmms, that must be lucky...i would give many a thing to be able to shape shift like that...*dazes of out the widow for a moment*~if only if only the woodpeacker cried~...*glances back to kileaiya* well...where do you come from? That is if you dont mind my asking...

2005-06-29 [Kileaiya]: 'A town by the name of Aislinn I came to Elftown on a friends suggestion, said people here were kind, she was right. Well until recently that is.' Kileaiya said with a slight grimace.

2005-06-29 [Fizban]: hmms...*lays his arms down on the counter top in front of him and bends over more, adjusting his hood slightly, he sat and waited for the bartender**yawns and lays his head on his arms*

2005-06-29 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep made his way downstairs again- after dealing with is drunken friend and went back to tthe bar for a moment- he blinked oddly at the cat girl and said little- he had hear of anthros before but never really seen one before. But hey the bar was open to all peoples he figured, thinking to himself as he wiped another glass down, then turning to [Fizban] and not missing a beat** so lad what be your fancy?

2005-06-29 [FiSHr.]: *moop suddenly fell to the the floor*

2005-06-29 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep turned his attention to moop and pulled him to a seat where he left hi, there for a moment- after checking to make sure he is alive and sastisfied that he was he went back to the bar**

2005-06-29 [FiSHr.]: tad too much staying up i think

2005-06-29 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep sighed-** well then maybe you should take a rest in your room if it is that much of a strain on you

2005-06-29 [FiSHr.]: *walks off*

2005-06-29 [travs the bean]: **he wiped his hands on his towel and went back to his chores- **

2005-06-29 [Sylvia Rote]: ~she watches a few guests head up to their rooms~ Inebriation kicking in on a few patrons, eh?

2005-06-29 [Erestor]: *Erestor re-emerges through the door and hands over a brown bag to travs*

2005-06-29 [travs the bean]: **takes the bag** and what is this?

2005-06-29 [Erestor]: Money; remember the advice you gave me the other day about a treasured area? Well it pulled off, we just went down there and it swarming - through you'd deserve something from it. I've got 2 trucks full coming up the hill now.

2005-06-29 [travs the bean]: really....**his brow raised** you wern't gone less than half an hour? something feels wrong about this **he looked suspiciously at him pushing the bag back**i can't take it- i didn't earn it

2005-06-29 [Erestor]: Well ... erm okay. *He through the bag to the floor and went back outside.*

2005-06-29 [Sylvia Rote]: ~she eyes the money~ i have no qualms about taking that off yer hands if you feel it's tainted.

2005-06-29 [Kileaiya]: Kileaiya says 'So what to you think about that mousing service barkeep?'

2005-06-29 [travs the bean]: be my guest **he smiled** just be careful what might come with it, as for you tiger lady**he said kindly** you can hunt them - but good luck - we hear them but no one has ever seen them-

2005-06-29 [Kileaiya]: 'Probably not rats at all then, I'll still see if I can catch em for ya. Wouldn't happen to have any milk would you? I can pay. I'll have the today's special too if you don't mind.'

2005-06-29 [Nylen Estrall]: *An elf-like character with dark skin and long white hair enters the inn. He pays no attention to the barmaid who is picking up a couple of gold coins from the floor, with the intention of gathering them all in a big bag next to her. He goes over to the bar.* I'll have what ever you care to bring me, sir...

2005-06-29 [travs the bean]: **the barkeep studied the stranger for a moment- then put a glass on the bar and poured a dark red mixture in it- and passed it his way**
