The BEGINNING!

[Bean Bandit]

Jean stared at Axebeard in disbelief.

"A...dragon. I'd rather face assassins, thank you." with that, she pushed her chair back, and made for the door.

[TannimFodder]

"'Tis a shame," said Axebeard loudly and with great lament toward the back of the departing thief.  "I dinna knoo what we're gonna do with all that treasure yon dragon'll have layin' aboot, noot tae mention the huge reward we'll likely get for sahvin' a princess."

Hammerfist nodded to himself as if talking to no one in particular.  "Yep...  Diamonds ahs beeg ahs yer fist...  enough gold fer a person tae sweem in...  priceless arteefacs o' power yon dragon is likely tae 'ave...  I guess I'll just get tae keep it'all meself..."

OOC:  Where are all the other people?  ^^;;;

Lallie grinned.  "A reward?  We get a reward?!"

Beaming, she stood up and grabbed John by the arm.  "Let's go get it!  If I'm getting money, I can finally buy the new longbow at Yuln's Weaponry~!"

[Kwokinator]

OOC: *quotes the Matrix* "Don't hate me, Trinity.  I'm just the messenger."

In other words, this is all the GM (Rat)'s fault.  Don't blame me ^_^

IC:  Heezan's head jerked up at the sudden movement nearby.  He almost sighed after taking notice of who the person was.

Lallie was so... perfect... she was nice... she was cute... energetic... and best of all, she likes weapons and stuff...

But she was also in love with Truesword...

Which meant he had less than a snowball's chance in hell...

Sinking his chin onto the table, he let out a long, quiet, wistful sigh.

[CyMage]

Greysol watched the young ones argue among themselves.  He knew they would work well together when they confronted their enemies.  

A small smile appeared on his aged face.  Soon another one would join them, and they would set forth to save the world.

[Bean Bandit]

Jean's path to the door faltered, and she stopped. for a long moment, she stared hard at the door.

Finally, she turned and looked evenly at the smirking dwarf.

"Nice try, shorty. Almost worked, too. But I'd have to be alive to enjoy it, and with what you're talking about...that's not too likely."

[RangerShade]

Nevagona Getz Lucky, traveling bard extraordinare,  could feel his senses tingling. Somewhere in this town was money to be made and women to be laid.  Now all he had to was find it and find a sucke-companion or two to do all the work for him.

That inn seemed like a good place to start.

"Crickey, 'Me wee bonny filly on the old outback road'..."

And his bagpipes began to play.

[Rezantis]

IC:

Fred looked around the table and opened his mouth once more.

"RIGHT!  The CAUSE has given us a HOLY QUEST!  In the name of this quest, we must go..."

He trailed off as the caterwauls of bagpipes wafted through a nearby window.

Fred's eyes went wide.

"HEATHEN INSTRUMENTS OF THE CALEDONIANS!  We have a HERETIC AMONGST US!  May the CAUSE strengthen my ARM that I may SMITE the HERETIC in THE name OF the CAUSE!"

Grabbing his hammer, Fred leaped from his chair and stormed purposefully towards the door and flung it open.

"Torturing defenseless cats is evil, and inflicting the abomination you call music on the ears of the innocent is unforgivable!  I am pious and over-excitable cleric Fredumont!  In the name of the Cause I will punish you!"

Striking a silly pose, Fred readied himself for battle.

OOC:

This is All Rat's Fault.

[Kwokinator]

Heezan sighed again.  If he had no chance with Lallie, he might as well take somebody down with him...

"You!  Bagpipe guy!" he stood up suddenly stood up and faced the doorway. "Die!  Lightning Bolt!!"

Holding both arms out in front of him, he let out a bright bolt of lightning coursing through the air towards the doorway.

... only to watch it do a U-Turn and smack him right in the face, sending him flying halfway across the room.

"Medic..."

[RangerShade]

Unable to hear anything over the wailing of his pipes, Lucky was forced to rely on reading the Tasmanian Devil-Hunting sign language of the strange hammer wielding man that looked like he might be important.

"Welcome - traveler -  with - such - heavenly - music -  you - have - just - won - town - lottery -"

Ah! How nice! He must be the town treasurer!

He signed back: "Great! -Now - where -  can - I - get - women - and - booze- ?"

Sadly, Lucky was using the northern sign interpretation instead of the southern one.

[TannimFodder]

Hammerfist walked over to where Heezan was looking blankly up at the ceiling and occasionally twitching.

"Are ye al'right laddie?" he asked.  Without waiting for a reply he grabbed Heezan's boot and began dragging the hapless mage toward where that awful music was coming from.

"C'mon, boyo.  Ye gots tae git back on yon 'orse an try agin.  Ootherwise ye'll ne'er suceed in life."

[Kwokinator]

"Ugh..." Heezan groaned. "I'm not that alright, H..."

Regardless, he wobbily pushed himself off the floor and back onto his feet.

"I feel like a billion volts just went through my body... too bad I'm not battery-operated."

[Rezantis]

OOC:  You would have shorted yourself out if you were, Kwok.  :P

Well... I am Dead Tired.  So here's some randomness for you all.  Good Night.  ^^

IC:


Fred's eyes narrowed as the heretic began making hand gestures at him...

I - Want - A - Bowl - Of - Petunias - For - Brother's - Lunch.

Fred blinked.

"You are trying to CONFUSE me, Heretic?" he yelled, waving his mace around enthusiastically, "I am NOT SO EASILY DISTRACTED!  In the name of the CAUSE, you shall NEVER take this town's petunias!  NO HERETIC SHALL LAY HANDS UPON THEM!"

[Bean Bandit]

Jean stared at the chaos and continued to edge toward the door.

"Thanks, this is where I came in, I think," she murmured. "I'm DEFINITELY safer with assassins..."

She ran her hand through her newly shoulder-length hair. "It's fate," she muttered to herself. "I always have to fall in with asylum patients...."

IC:  O_o  The adorableness of Kwokie-chan. . . must stay in character. . .  Hmm. . . ways for Lallie to accidentally annoy Jean beyond belief. . . sounds like a new game!  ^_^

OOC:  Beaming, Lallie grabbed Jean's arm in a viselike grip, and ran towards the fighting.  "C'mon, Jeannie, let's go watch the fun!  And it's such pretty music, too!"
