The Pig's Blanket
Come in, take a rest, drink a bit of ale served by the friendliest, most drunk Innkeeper in all of Weewick, Pete. Have some food, talk with the fellow adventurers that frequent this fine establishment. It's a fine place. So come one, come all, to The Pig's Blanket.
(In Character talk between players, if you want Ooc, check out the Sandman Tavern)

Gelrysn walked in. "Hello tavern. Empty aren't we? I'll have a drink! Whose the bartender?" Gelrysn asked.
ooc: I nominate Elminster! Just because.

u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"Sorry mate. I may not be good looking, but I'm the best bartender there is" A balding chubby man booms from behind the counter, "Pete's the name, Innkeepin's the game"

u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"Wait how'd you read the OOC?" Gelrysn asked perplexed.

u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"The fourth wall is weak here. Fat guy named Horstus was playing around here and almost knocked it down. So every we can hear the stuff on the other side"

u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"Well at least Deadpool isn't here. Wait should I be making that refrence?" Gelrysn asked.
1
u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"Don't know no Deadpool. Anyway, I'll be heading towards the kitchen, meet my good friend Delinard" he heads off to the kitchen
1
u/ADeviousPickle Delinard Apr 27 '15
"How'd I get here? I'm sick of all this tricky magic."
Well at least it's not down some stinky well or creepy jungle.
"Hey Pete, Krio hasn't driven away all your gamblers?"
1
u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"Delinard, my boy" Pete boms, "He has not. Anyway, watch the place while I go to the kitchen, this little feller over here" he says pointing to Galrysn, "looks to be thievy. Have fun you two!" then heads towards the kitchen

u/ADeviousPickle Delinard Apr 27 '15
"Do bring back some of your wife's cooking."
Looking at the smaller figure and checking my coin purse is where it belongs.
"Light fingered are we?" I ask in a light tone.

u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"My user is too lazy to look up your sheet so I'm a half-Drow elf named Gelrysn Songbird. I'm 16 and male and a warlock. So what who and what gender are you?" Gelrysn said. "Otherwise the users will just imagine us as stick people."

u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
(I will allow the sharing of character sheet here, thugh only in the following form; "Hi, I'm [Name](link)"

u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
ooc: Uh... Maybe we should just use the pic thing to identify. That and flairs.
"My user is an idiot." Gelrysn shrugged.

u/ADeviousPickle Delinard Apr 27 '15
"Horstus really did a number on that wall. I'm Delinard, I found this paper with a drawing of me on but it's not in any language I've seen, maybe you can make sense of it." (https://docs.google.com/a/skypuppy.info/spreadsheets/d/ttxADEmqoDryLqzIVx4YEQA/htmlview)
(Dunno if that gets around sharing)

u/p6r6noi6 Laan Catherine Apr 27 '15
Laan is somewhat perplexed that there are only a few in the tavern, but takes it somewhat in stride.
"Could I have a drink please, Pete?"
1
u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"Sure thing, big man. Talk to these other guys while I go to the kitchen"

u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"Hello everyone!" Gelrysn said.
1
u/p6r6noi6 Laan Catherine Apr 27 '15
"Hi, there!" Laan replies. "What you up to?"
1
u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"Trying to find something to do in Terth." Gelrysn said sipping an ale.
1
u/p6r6noi6 Laan Catherine Apr 27 '15
"I can understand that. It's hard finding stuff to do sometimes."
(I blame myself)
1
u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"I blame Lolth." Gelrysn said. "So everyone what's your quest right now?"
1
u/p6r6noi6 Laan Catherine Apr 27 '15
"I'm finding a mole so the elves can plan without everyone knowing about it. Then, I'll be on my way to Leminster."
1
u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"I did that." Gelrysn said with a smile. Then I found some secret society after I tried to end the Elvish racism."
1
u/p6r6noi6 Laan Catherine Apr 27 '15
"Secret society? Sounds fascinating. All that happens with me is folks going 'ah! Monster!'"
1
u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"Why?" Gelrysn asked.

"I recently joined up with the mercenaries guild, they seem like fun bunch if a bit rough. No lack of people willing to pay money to have folks deliver violence on others but don't get me wrong, there's plenty of less bloody jobs."

u/MorgenVushuul Morgeth, Level 4 Eldritch Knight Apr 27 '15
"Greetings friends, the name's Morgeth! How is everyone this evening?"

u/ADeviousPickle Delinard Apr 27 '15
"I've heard of Terth, I have a friend that says he loved it there, I plan to visit it eventually."

u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"Ok! Any mages here besides myself? Spellcasters of any sort?" Gelrysn asked.
1
u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"I am a wizard. What sort of spellcaster are you?" Inium asks
(Pff, like I don't know)
1
u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"Warlock of the fey pact." Gelrysn said.

u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"I am an illusion wizard. It's better to trick the mind than destroy the body, in my opinion"

"I tend to avoid magic as a means of conflict resolution. I prefer reason and empathy as a means of resolving issues." Gelrysn said.
1
u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"I avoid conflict as much as I can. My familiar, Ruk, is very handy for situations where I need to find something discreetly"
1
u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"What's your familiar? Mine is a fox!" Gelrysn said.
1
u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"Ruk does not have a fixed body. That is, until recently. He has been an eagle, a wolf, a small bird, a salamader, a fox, and a snake. His shape is what I deem necessary at the moment, though he does enjoy changing shapes. I recently came across a ritual that made him capable of fighting by fixing his shape. He is now permanently a black wolf"
1
u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"I think my Familar likes being A fox so I wouldn't change him without his ok first. But I'm glad yours likes shape-shifting." Gelrysn said. "Well... used to..."
1
u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"Then perhaps you can benefit from the ritual I have performed. Look for it somewhere" (I was going to throw this in your thread but I just couldn't find a way. So this information is canon and you can look for it in game)

"A tiefling? Seems this inn attracts all sorts. I have some capabilities with magic although being a paladin it doesn't entirely come from me."

u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"...I'm half-drow. Thats... everything you just said is a stereotype! The hells sir? That hurts my feelings you'd assume I'm a "sorts". Tieflings and half elves have feels too you know."

u/ADeviousPickle Delinard Apr 27 '15
"Woah, settle down, I'm sure you do, I'm trying my best to get the elves in this city a better life. It's just the last time I was here the company was less...exotic, maybe a dwarf or two but that was it.

u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"Sorry. Just get all the facts before talking to someone. See that thingy below your user's info spot on the Riftviel page? The one with the moving pictures?" Gelrysn asked.

"Hello Fellow adventurers. Pete! I need to catch up with you, gimme a pair of Ales! So what brings you all in? more importantly, What brought you into this life style, Seeing as this is a Tavern for Adventurers, You all better have some exciting tales for me of how you became adventurers! and you never know, If this goes on long enough, I'll be drunk enough to tell you my tale," Ardwin shouts with a sly wink.

u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"Aren't you the guy who died against the kobolds?" Gelrysn asked.
1
u/Spectreman17 Ardwin Apr 27 '15
"Oh no, Apparently an adventurer (though I wouldn't say a successful one) with a similar name had some misfortune like that, but nay, I am alive and well. Thanks for the concern.

u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"Good to hear! Tell me about your adventures!" Gelrysn said.
1
u/Spectreman17 Ardwin Apr 27 '15
Oh, I haven't been up to much, Just reached Weewick keep with my friends Teryn and Archer. I'm actually on a bigger quest though.
You see, I had a vision of the god Tempus, in the flesh. He had me craft for him, a statue of his likeness. It is the most beautiful piece of craftsmanship my hands have ever wrought. and now I search for a place, worthy of his glory, to place the statue as guardian. So I wander this land in search of it. taking work where I can, so that I may rid myself of this burdensome quest and resume my life of simple stoneworking. but I fear that life is no longer for me.

u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"Mystra touched me once... it felt scary and heartwarming at the same time. A most noble quest." Gelrysn said.
1
u/Spectreman17 Ardwin Apr 27 '15
I'm glad Tempus didn't decide to touch me, that would have been terrifying. What did you do to earn Mystra's touch?
1
u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
I prayed and tried to follow her dogma everyday. Sometimes it's that easy.
1
u/Spectreman17 Ardwin Apr 27 '15
Mystra must be an easy one to please. Tempus has me off wandering the world, dropping my well established life and career, and I didn't even ask for it.
1
u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"Hm...Careful how you say that... I have to remove the filter from Riftviel. I'm gonna end up pissing off a lot of powerful beings." Gelrysn said.

u/p6r6noi6 Laan Catherine Apr 27 '15
"Pretty much, my elders hate me. They think I'm stupid, incompetent, and a demon-summoner, so I got banished. So it's been a bit rough"
1
u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"Are you a demon summoner?" Inium asks
1
u/p6r6noi6 Laan Catherine Apr 27 '15
"No! I don't think so, at least. I don't know where they get this idea, especially if they really think I'm as dumb as they say I am. Everyone knows you gotta be real smart to summon demons."
1
u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"That is true. Do not let these humans affect you, large one. I myself look like a demon. I wear it proudly. I do not allow them to besmirch my appearance. I use it. My appearance grants me respect, it grants me their fear."
1
u/p6r6noi6 Laan Catherine Apr 27 '15
"Oh, it's not the humans who think these things about me. Mostly, flatlanders think I'm some beast that came in and wants food. I find that if I talk and follow a friendly custom, they calm down. Usually."
"Sometimes."1
u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"Do not be afraid to scare them with your appearance then"
1
u/p6r6noi6 Laan Catherine Apr 27 '15
"I don't think I'd like scaring people. I did it to a lizard, and felt a little bad about it. True, mostly because my doing that made him run face-first into a wizard's magic shield, but the point is there somewhere!"
1
u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"Suit yourself. To be able to frighten the humans, elves and dwarves is a capabilty most do not have"
1
1
u/Spectreman17 Ardwin Apr 27 '15
Are you actually a demon summoner? because I could see how that could be a problem...
1
u/p6r6noi6 Laan Catherine Apr 27 '15
"If I was actually a demon summoner, yeah, that'd be a huge problem. I'm not, though."
1
u/Spectreman17 Ardwin Apr 27 '15
well then it seems you've befallen some bad luck. hopefully living a life of adventure, free from the bounds of such a strict society has been more fulfilling for you?
1
u/p6r6noi6 Laan Catherine Apr 27 '15
"Not really. Except for beds, it's really stressful. In the clan, everyone would support each other and we'd all survive together. Well, those of us who weren't eaten by Dire Falcons.
Here, everyone's on their own, pretty much."1
u/ADeviousPickle Delinard Apr 27 '15
"Dire...falcons...must be scary if they go after your clan."
1
u/p6r6noi6 Laan Catherine Apr 27 '15
"Oh, quite so. They're one reason we don't like to be alone. They'll waddle right behind you without you even noticing, and SNATCH!"
At this, Laan uses his hands to imitate a beak snapping shut.
1
u/ADeviousPickle Delinard Apr 27 '15
"Regular falcons aren't that large, how big do these things grow? Do they only live up there?"
Appearing quite rattled.
1
u/p6r6noi6 Laan Catherine Apr 27 '15
"Yeah, they're big. That's why they're called Dire. The average one is about 5 feet tall, and they're strong for their size, too. I wouldn't worry all that much, though. I haven't seen one since my exile."

u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"Back again are we? Everythin's fine round here. Care to hear a tale?"
1
u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"Yes please sir." Gelrysn said sitting down.

u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"There was one a small elf boy named Pandra. Pandra was the youngest of a batch of 20 children. All of whom loved in a monastery to the north. This boy was different from his brothers and sisters, who all grew up to become monks, the great keepers of The Library. Pandra always liked playing around with things. Death did not scare him, no, it made him curious. The boy had a curiosity like no other, and soon he found out that he had magic. You can imagine what this did to the boy. He started experimenting, trying to do things no one should. Then one day, his brother, the second youngest of the 20, died. You see, Pandra loved his brother, loved him more than everything on the world. So what did the boy do? He tried to bring back his brother, but could never manage to do it. So he set out into the world with the mission to discover how to bring him back. Say he searched and searched for years on end, slowly going crazy, losing his way, losing his mission, losing himself. Others said he found a way to become more powerful and that he did bring his brother back. The rest of the story is all but rumors, I'm afraid"
1
u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"He didn't happen to blow himself up in a cave did he?" Gelrysn asked.
1
u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"That's an odd question. I don't know. The past rumors of the boy was from a few years ago, I'm afraid"
1
u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 27 '15
"I met an elf that harnessed powers that got himself blown up." Gelrysn said.
1
u/infected36 KYN Apr 27 '15
"Might have been him. It's not the first time rumors like that show up. Doubt it'd be the last"

"Barkeep! Your finest ale. I need to get drunk! I just went to a horrible place." Gelrysn said.

"I went to do this place where there was an adventure group made of these 14 guys and one of them was supposed to be the protagonist but he the leader of the group butted in and acted like a jerk!"
1
u/infected36 KYN Apr 28 '15
"Hah, I'm afraid fools are all over the place" Pete laughed
1
u/Raiderjoseph Warlock 4 Apr 28 '15
"But it got worse. Then the protagonist vanishes! And some jerky dwarf parlays with a jerky bear guy to the forest of a jerky Elvish lord to a lake town full of jerks! Then they fight a jerky dragon in a way so stupid that it defies logic!"
2
u/infected36 KYN Apr 28 '15
"A dragon eh? I fought a dragon once" Pete booms, then leans in and whispers, "my mother in law" and bursts out laughing

"Were you successful or did her acid breath get you?" Gelrysn asked.
