"Alichino? There is no Alichino here. I am... Curtis. For now."
The ale the fool ordered had arrived, and it was completely gone before the barman had time to walk away. Quickly ordering another, the fool watched with amusement as his canine companions energy went from about "coiled spring" to "high strung lute".
"Queensmen, yes, I know. They came from the library, you know? Walking the libraries stories among the stories, maybe getting in a tale of their own. They think it's a mystery, but I think it's more of a horror story myself..."
Their story, however, wasn't nearly as appealing to the fool as the leftover food on the table, though.
"Cheery? Why shouldn't I be cheery? Today is a very good day, after all! I found something interesting, and was introduced to a new friend! And hey, free food!"
The fool casually stole some food from one of the abandoned plates on the table, and began to listen to the queensmen. "Yes, yes, a very good day indeed..."
“...What in the world are you talking about?”
Luis wasn’t able to keep up with
Curtis’ quirky way of talking. And he was probably still poisoned for all we knew.
This newcomer didn’t even have 5 minutes of joining him in the table, and he was already getting on
Luis’ nerves
“I’d be wary with the pork ones. They gave an upset stomach to one of ours” He added as Alich-
Curtis reached for the plate “Managed to knock a bugbear, not sure how well you’d fare”
However, seeing
Curtis writhe from a tummy ache sounded amusing; Maybe he shouldn’t have said anything about the food.
Perception roll: 1d20+3 = (2)+3 = 5 Luis tried to focus on listening to the White Jacquets on the other table, but it seemed a task impossible. Between a lingering headache, the common sound of a bar, and
Curtis,
Luis wasn’t sure what to blame.
Cracked Cup, main room:[
Alichino and Luis:
"What ho' miscreants!" a patron shouts as she bursts in. It is the familiar presence of Anna Star, a notable player in the local underground that you've recently become acquainted with. From the large sword on her back, it's clear she's ready for anything.
And just when
Luis thought the surprises had stopped.
It was hard to mistake that sword, that looked comically large for the tiefling to be able to actually carry.
But
Luis himself was a dog that glowed blue, why would he find this uncommon now.
“She’s… Going to get into trouble...” He whispered to
Curtis, not losing sight from
Anna.
Clenching his fist, he reached Monomythica’s amulet, just in case he’d need to summon her aid.
Luis was getting nervous again. Hopefully his fur would give no hint of that.
Lai Shan and Chorden, disguised:
You break for the entrance in your barmaid disguise, past Luis and the new man at the table, right past the three White Jacquets, and right into a familiar tiefling--Anna Star, a very recent but friendly acquaintance and potential business partner.
Perception roll 1d20+3 = (12)+3 = 15 It was odd, but a familiar odor hit your nostrils, though not completely sure yet where it came from. Reminds you of
Lai Shan but might have been a coincidence. You didn’t see her come out of the backroom.
You're getting impatient, they've been speaking with
Delric for some time now. Unless
Anna doesn't pull something dangerous, you're all safe. As much as
Luis could use a fight to release some of his anger, it didn't seem advisable to fight inside
Figg's bar
Both Tieflings and Shifters have a bad reputation for being destructive in their path. It was best to not give people more reason to believe such stupid stereotypes.
