Nobody dumps anything both cold and wet over your head. You are a projectile.

You could always sue these people for assault and battery. Thwack, Minister of all things Legal and Un-Legal, at your service. Need a potion? Im your guy. Need compensation for toxic fumes you breathed while in the crab mine dungeoun? I'm also your guy. I do declare
You have successfully joined the brawl and escalated the fight. A hulking half-orc walks up to Bram and punches him in his face, multiple times.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 1:40 pmBram and several of his mercenaries attempt to break up the brawl and calm everyone down.
"Calm down, ye bloody fools!"
"Ay, are you trying to stop this fight? Fights are good for business. They sell more ale!"Kakarroto wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 2:12 pmThe priestess, quite surprised by the sudden start of a brawl, and that everyone seemed to ignore her greeting and question, turns to the barkeeper and friendly asks him: "Does this happen often here? It seems quite aggressive. Don't you mind that they smash your interior? I think they had drunk too much and I should do something. Please, bring your alcohol in a safe corner, away from the fight, I might need to ask for the goddess power and I don't intent to cleanse your beverage of its alcohol. I should do so only if would be fine with that."
She waits for it until the barkeeper does so, or gives his acknowledgement, then plans to purge the alcohol in the area around the fight and the people, probably also affecting Qlik who lies on the floor due to it, if it is needed at the time.
But right after she talked to him, she steps next to Bram, who seemed a voice of calm and reason, and tries to help stop the fight and to calm everyone down with just friendly words like him, ready to pray for the removal of their intoxications if the barkeeper gives her a signal.

Darrel rolls over to Bram’s mercenaries and tries to eat the smallest ones.
The barkeeper responds, "Oh, yes, you might find supplies at the expedition supplies store. Unfortunately, they're not open at this hour. Perhaps you might want to stay the night here?" He then states an enormous sum as the expense for one room.Chairpusher wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 5:12 pmHappy to have made sure no one would see him buy the map. Efax :
1. Buys map with a very low denomination coin;
2. Asks Bar-keep if he can buy supplies from somewhere close;
3. Leave Tavern and head for sound of voices.

Surely my kind could teach people a thing or two about manners. I mean trying to eat people... such a thing only happens.. In places like the Congo I would think. Not here in our fair tavern.

Rather then punching indiscriminately, the patrons are now fighting to the beat of your music.kingofthepirates wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 5:59 pmAs the fight continues, Numen, upset by the lack of awesome background music, decides to add it themselves. Whipping out a full ensemble out of seemingly nowhere, they begin to play every instrument simultaneously. Surprisingly, this actually ends up sounding good, a pretty good score for the scene at hand.
You direct a flying chair, which exists because you said so, at the lawyer-hobgoblin. It whacks said lawyer in the face.dargorygel wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 7:45 pmBob McBobson, a non-descript man, of indeterminate age, ambles in to the bar, carefully avoiding contact with swinging fists, hurled mugs, and the expected, but as of yet unnoted, flying chair.
Bob suspects he has two abilities, one class, and one amazing superpower... because his mum and dad always assured Bob that this was the case. So far, despite two dragon-hunting expeditions (no dragon seen nor smelled), one bank robbery attempt (the bank where Bob keeps his funds, and Bob changed his mind about taking the funds after the clerk cheerfully attempted to hand Bob a bag with a Dholarian monetary symbol printed on it), and four unsuccessful romantic ventures (no description forthcoming, nothing occured).
Bob ambles a lot... experimenting occasionally with experiencing experiments to discern and/or ascertain the above mentioned abilities, class, and superpowers.
So amidst the fight Bob:
1) Attempts to divert a flying chair towards anyone who resembles a snooty monocled lawyerish monster. No chair. Probably no success.
2) Drink two beers, left on the bar by fighting fighters. Not sure if this is any of the three things Bob wonders about, if he successfully consumes the beers.
3) Attempts to tap one toe to the interesting and suprisingly skillful ensemble playing an almost recognizable tune... or set of tunes... or SOME kind of music.
A broken mug is thrown at the boombox, but misses due to the thrower being drunk.Pengwinja wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 11:32 pmAfter trying to ingest some humans, as a final action, Darrel catches Numen’s vibes and tries to (if he isn’t stopped forcibly) turn into a boombox and starts blasting out awesome battle tunes, which are so loud that all the mugs in the bar start cracking.
You scurry over to the barman and hear something about fights and ale being said to a nearby elven priestess.DarthPorg36 wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 12:42 amAfter downing his mead, Aelvyn, realizing his services are not needed, decides to try and be a hero for himself. The first thing a hero needs, he thinks, is a quest! Dodging the flying alcohol, he scurries over near the barman, trying to remain hidden, to see if he can overhear any secret conversations about suspicious activities in the area. Otherwise, if the barman mentions where one could get a cool sword, Aelvyn will try to track that down too.
Please do! The more the merrier!PRINCE WILLIAM wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 10:41 amIf I had seen this when it started, I'd have joined. May I do so now?
You have been dragged to the courtroom at the end of Round four (this was at the end of the round 4 post by me). Also, in general everyone is moved to a different location when some of the party moves there. You could take an action to attempt to stay where you are though, counting against one attempt to leave.Chairpusher wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 8:56 amEfax, thanks the barkeep for the offer of a room, but declines.
1. Leaves the tavern and heads for the sound of voices outside;
2. Keeps an eye out for the expedition supplies store;
3. Looks for money on the floor.

No, we are still on round 5. The "when I post the round ends" rule is referring to posts where I quote everyone and then do the thing with a horizontal line.kingofthepirates wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 12:45 pmWait… this is a post!
