It was a tiny place, a small little hut made of brick and stone. It had little in the way of decorations, and there wasn't even a name or number at its entrance. The tavern would have been inconspcious in every other setting, except for one important fact - that it was sitting at the center of the crossroads, a nexus where many paths meet, where travellers gather to share their stories, where adventurers converge to plot their next campaign.

Stepping through the entrance - a thick wooden door, well lacquered - one would be greeted by a bar, well-stocked with all manner of liquids, brought from afar. Tables made of wood and stone circle the bartop, ten in total, and to the left another door stands, presumably to the rooms behind.

And to its right laid a noticeboard, pinned up with all manner of posters and messages, requests and offers. It was there that many adventurers coalesced, for the Questing Board often brought fame and fortune to those that deigned to venture forth.

This is a Freeform Roleplaying game. This means that there are no rules except the ones below:

Rules
~~~

Character Creation: There are no limits or restrictions on character creation, but for now try to keep things to humanoids if possible. Power level should be Regular or Elite on the power scale -

Power Scale

Character sheets may be posted on the relevant thread in the OOC forum for clarity's sake, but these are not compulsory nor are they definitive (as they can be edited spontaneously).
~~~

General Roleplaying Guidelines

  • OOC conversations are allowed, but be sure to clearly separate OOC and IC. For example, using italics for IC roleplaying.
  • It is recommended to roleplay in third person, like how you would write a story. (It doesn't mean you can't do it in 1st or 2nd person voice though)
  • Try not to roleplay yourself

A man and a woman entered the bar. They entered one after another, seemingly spacing their entries on purpose. They sat on opposite ends of the long bartop, and each ordered a glass of cold water from the bartender.

Both man and woman were cloaked in a black, rubbery material, their hoods pulled up. Below their cloaks, one could just spy a sword and mace respectively hidden beneath, fastened to their belts. A few small pouches were also tied to their belts, some of them bulging with small, circular items. One wonders if they were coinage.


OOC: Let's begin! :)

Lord Felix Montague Terence del Sanburgh walks into the tavern looking around with his eyes. He smiles as he inhales the familiar smell of the drinks and foods. He quickly orders his normal drink, Purple Heaven a drink that is colored violet with silver flecks and spices mixed in. The drink smells like licorice. After getting it he then sits down by the fire place.

Ayla walks into the unfamiliar building. The smell of various spices and alcohols stings her nose, and she wrinkles it instinctively. As she grows accustomed to the sensation she takes a look around and brings in her surroundings. Lily cries inquisitively and Ayla reaches up to scratch her the bird's neck. "I guess this'll have to do." she mutters and enters the building.

The man at the bartop coughed. If anyone was paying attention, they would catch a spark fly out of his mouth. Or maybe it was just their imagination.

The woman turned her head when Ayla entered, and smiled at the owl.

Kirss bows his head and hunches his shoulders and manages to get through the tavern door. He finds an open space at the bar, grabs the sturdiest looking stool and gently lowers himself onto it. Spotting a funny looking human with an owl sitting on her shoulder he grins, wide and oafish at the silly bird. He orders a drink (ale) and begins to drink, several of them.

Felix watched the woman with the owl as he took a sip from his drink. He flicked his eyes over the ogre and then he moved his arm down into the shadow cast by the table. He closed his eyes as if he were concentrating on something. A few seconds later he produced a book from the shadows and started to read.

Sobriquelle the elf walks in wearing simple traveller's gear, worn supple over years of wear, and pulls the hood back from her head. She scans the room, and then quietly takes a seat in the center of the bar, letting her pack slide to the floor in front of her seat. She gestures for a cup of ale, and stares off into space, listening to the room around her.

Felix's eyes flicked up to the elf that had just walked in as he motioned for another glass of his drink. He leaned back in the chair closing the book. The book then slowly sunk into the shadow on the table disappearing from view.

Kriss tosses down the last of his copper onto the counter, counts it out and pushes it over the bar, most of it clattering to the floor. "Whatever many that gets me!" He shouts. "And one for the bird over there! It looks thirsty!" Kriss slumps back down onto his chair and awaits his drinks to come, completely unaware of the rest of the bar. His giant form swaying back and forth precariously on the barstool. He shoots a lopsided grin at the owl.

Felix slowly stood up and walked up to the bar standing next to the elf. He motions to the bar keep to give the elf the same drink as his. "Here try this, it tends to be much much better than the standard fare." His voice sounds as smooth as silk and his eyes have a hint of curiosity in them.

Sobriquelle glances up brielfly and meets the gentleman's eyes. "Thank you, sir." She takes another sip of her ale, and her gaze drifts off into the distance once more.

The barkeep brings over two glasses. "It's called "Purple Heaven". Felix says as he takes a slow sip."Lord Felix Montague Terence del Sanburgh at your service, but you may call me Felix, and what is your name?"

She glances back at the stranger and answers. "I am called Sobriquelle. I've just stopped at this tavern for a short rest, and perhaps a bite to eat."

Ayla looks nervously towards the boisterous man at the counter. Lily cocks her head and flies over to the counter. Ayla makes a move to stop her, but retracts it and smiles. Lily's grown up now, she thinks to herself.

At the bar, Lily looks up to Kriss, and then down to the drink she was offered. The bird nervously dips her beak into the drink and sips some of it. Surprised by the strong taste, she flutters back into the air, knocking over the drink in the process. A surprised Ayla runs over to the scene and quickly apologizes.
"I'm sorry I can pay for that Lily's just a little excitable." She says all of this quickly and bows her head.

He looks over at the Owl and it's owner before turning back to Sobriquelle, "Where are you headed to?"

Sobriquelle cocks an eyebrow at the weird scene that's just unfolded with the owl and wine and the painted girl. She turns back to regard the well-dressed man beside her, who doesn't appear concerned for the spilled drink or flustered girl. "Um, nowhere in particular, actually. I'm just on the road, seeing where it takes me."

"I see, if you head that way for about a day or two" He motions north with tilt of his head."You'll come upon the city of Kadas my home and the capital for the kingdom of Kadara. And if you head east from here, you will come upon the small fishing town of Bascay and finally to the west is the slave trade city of Koli. Where did you start from?" He asked

"Is okay, no worry," said Kriss. He beamed a large and toothy smile down at the little human. "I am Kriss, I like little beaks. Who are you, little one?" Looking friendly never came easy for Kriss, and he saw the panic in her face when she had run over. The ale was no big deal, he was just happy the birdy came to say hello, even if it didn't like the drink. He pulled out a seat for Ayla and awaited her response.
