Chapter 1: Nightstone | Thread

Jul 26, 2017 10:02 am

The Nightstone Inn is small but charming, run by a shield dwarf named Morak. This night the Inn is full, at all of the tables there are people eating, drinking, and laughing at each other's tales. The largest table is taken up with a group of humans in leather armor - mercenaries, by the look of them - who have been drinking more than they have been eating. The music of the bard playing in the corner can barely be heard over the noise.

Re: Chapter 1: NIghtstone

One of the mercenaries nudges one of his friends and points at the bard, and they both stand up unsteadily and make their way over. Looming over the young man the larger of the two booms, "I don't like your music."

As the bard tries to play on and ignore the drunken criticism the man continues, "My friend don't like your music neither."

He squints his eyes in frustration at the lack of reaction and then pours his drink over the bard's head while his friend laughs raucously beside him.

Chanler takes a short moment to steady himself, and shake some ale off.
"Hey well, everyone else seems to enjoy it. So why don't you take your ugly mug back to your seat."
The words roll off Chanler's tongue as he gives his lute a light strum to accentuate them.

Re: Chapter 1: NIghtstone

The man looks at his now-empty mug in confusion, but his companion erupts in laughter, "He's talking about your FACE, Mica!"

Confusion turns to rage, fueled by the wounding magic of Chanler's words, and Mica swings his mug at the ale-doused bard.

Carrik goes in to punch the one grabbing Chanler in the back of the head. Missing as he realises how much hes drank, still adjusting to the tipsiness.

Re: Chapter 1: NIghtstone

Giving up on trying to catch the dexterous bard, the two men swing at him instead. The angry mercenary puts all of his strength into it and manages to land a punch, but his companion is clearly only half-hearted in his attempt to hurt the bard.

The crowd around them looks angry and yells at them to stop, but are too frightened of the big men to try and intervene. From behind them, you can hear dwarven cursing as people are pushed aside from the area of the bar.

Meanwhile, the man that Carrik punched is momentarily taken aback by the volume of the sorcerer's words, but shrugs and says, "This bloke started it," and swings his fist at Carrik in return. His companions merely watch, ready to jump in if needed.

The man has clearly had way too much, and as Carrik nimbly steps aside, he overbalances and falls to the floor, knocking himself unconscious against a table leg on the way down.

Re: Chapter 1: NIghtstone

The two mercenaries surrounding Chanler again try and grab him, as the other 3 surge toward Carrik and Kal'lista. A big man with no front teeth has his head snapped back momentarily by a flying mug. Strangely, he smiles at that and begins looking for who threw it. He spots Kal'ista and grins nastily as he makes her way toward her.

The remaining two men both swing at Carrik, but he leans back avoiding the fist of the first and the second only grazes him.

Focused on putting everything he has into his music, Chanler is caught unaware and in a corner when both of the men rush him at once. The impact of two bodies slamming into his chest causes the air to leave his lungs as he weakly sputters "Hey, how about we all just settle down and have a drink! On me!" barely loud enough for the two men holding him to hear.
