Flare Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) "Ha brotha, you're so right, they don't appreciate you for what you do, they are so judgemental. A pity but I guess it makes you just the better man." Benji smiles at Mando and pats him on the shoulder. As they start walking out he asks, "So, what do you like to do in your spare time from acting?" Edited November 2, 2014 by Flare
Flare Posted November 2, 2014 Posted November 2, 2014 Hoke follows Mando. Benji also follows Mando, if that wasn't clear previously.
Waterbrick Down Posted November 3, 2014 Author Posted November 3, 2014 "Oh, you know, I enjoy the fine company of respectable folks around the town, you'd be surprised how many dinner parties I frequent." Barlin Mando leads the party out the back door, much to the consternation of a fuming Oswald Brickspit. "Just have Jacob stand in for me, my dear chap. You'll make do." As the party and Barlin start making their way to The Lotus they run into Detective Hoples. "Gentlemen, I've got the warrant, are we ready to proceed?"
Flare Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 "No, no, we have different plans now for the evening. We met this famous actor Barlin Mando and he invited us to come with us to his favorite bar, The Lotus. If you keep quiet, then you can come along with us, Hoples." Benji winked and then mumbled so that only Hoples could hear. "We know what we're doing"
UsernameMDM Posted November 3, 2014 Posted November 3, 2014 "Gentlemen, I've got the warrant, are we ready to proceed?" "Send a few of your deputies down there to make sure, but for now, let's follow Mr. Mando."
Waterbrick Down Posted November 4, 2014 Author Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) "Yes, I'm familiar with Mr. Mando's work. The captain didn't give me any deputies! Wait for me." The Party makes their way North to The Lotus, a rather well-to-do establishment right next to the Guffington Mansion. Outside the establishment the group is hailed by a cyclops bouncer standing in front of the door. [img[Picture Coming Soon[/img] "Cover's 10 Gold each." Edited November 4, 2014 by Waterbrick Down
UsernameMDM Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 "Why does every door we come to require gold?"
K-Nut Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Althior rolls his eyes, "Just give him what he wants, I'm tired of all this bickering. Have you got anything on you, Mando? Or must one of us cover you?"

Flare Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) "I have a costume, shall I don it and then the entrance's free?" Benji winks and grins, but in case the answer is negative he hands over 10 gold for the cover fee. Edited November 4, 2014 by Flare
K-Nut Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 Althior hands the Cyclops 10 gold. "Better be worth it,"
Flare Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 "Ladies first" Benji winks as he pushes Hoke in after Mando.
UsernameMDM Posted November 5, 2014 Posted November 5, 2014 "Ladies first" Benji winks as he pushes Hoke in after Mando. Hoke quickly jabs Benji in the gut with the butt of the Flagpole as he stumbled in the door behind Mando.
Waterbrick Down Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 The cyclops accepts the payments with a nod before opening the door and ushering the trio accompanied by Hoples and Barlin inside. The interior of The Lotus is lit by pink glowing lamps, upbeat music fills the small room, and the smell of smoke is heavy in the air. The patrons casually note the new comers entrance, but soon return to their prior enjoyment. A mermaid mans the bar and above on the second floor landing a succubus surveys the goings on of the establishment. "Hi Mando, returning from another smashing triumph at the theater?" "Indeed my dear, indeed." Barlin turned to the group. "My friends, while I thank you for your generosity in paying for my cover, allow me to show you a good time, the first round of drinks is on me."
Flare Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 (edited) "Seems like a nice joint." Benji smirks insincerely, and turns to the Norn woman. "Hey. I'm a friend of Mando. What's your name hun?" Edited November 6, 2014 by Flare
K-Nut Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 "Fine by me," Althior says. "Now where can we go to talk, Mando? I believe we should discuss a few things," He winks at the Actor, attempting to seem friendly, but merely comes off as awkward. Due to some confusion in the Marketplace Thread, I updated my stats in the stats thread. Basically just add 140 Gold and take away the Robe of the Elven Necromancer and the Rat Queen's Hide.
UsernameMDM Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Hoke checks out the establishment's patrons as he makes his way to the bar. "Good evening ma'am. What beverage do you suggest?"
Waterbrick Down Posted November 6, 2014 Author Posted November 6, 2014 "Seems like a nice joint." Benji smirks insincerely, and turns to the Norn woman. "Hey. I'm a friend of Mando. What's your name hun?" The Norn smiles at Benji but glances at the vampire beside her. "It's alvight dear, even though you're vith me tonight, you can still talk to the gentleman, I'm not a selvish vagabond." "Doreen, sir." "Fine by me," Althior says.

Due to some confusion in the Marketplace Thread, I updated my stats in the stats thread. Basically just add 140 Gold and take away the Robe of the Elven Necromancer and the Rat Queen's Hide. "Let me find us a table then." Moments later Barlin returns with a drink in his hand and leads the group over to a table with a clear view of the elf swinging around on a pole. "Ah my friends, tis a wonderful thing to be surrounded by such beauty and such compatriotism isn't it? Now what is it that you wanted to discuss?" Hoke checks out the establishment's patrons as he makes his way to the bar. "Good evening ma'am. What beverage do you suggest?" A man dressed in the livery of the Hinkwell family is watching an elf perform an elaborate dance on one of the several poles around the establishment. A cyclops in a uniform is pulled by an orc back into the bedroom from whence they had earlier come to check out the lively scene below. And Benji seems to be making conversation with a well-to-do vampire and a shapely norn. "Depends on what you're in the mood for. Tall dashing type like yourself, I'd suggest either a Frozen Gumdrop or a Dragon Daiquiri. We've also got a fine selection of Meads, and Mulled Wines if either of those would strike your fancy."

"Dragon Daiquiri if you please ma'am." Hoke nods to the Hinkwell and consumes his drink. He looks around a bit more. and sits down with Mando and Alithor. Edited November 6, 2014 by UsernameMDM
Flare Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 The Norn smiles at Benji but glances at the vampire beside her. "It's alvight dear, even though you're vith me tonight, you can still talk to the gentleman, I'm not a selvish vagabond." "Doreen, sir." Benji grins at the vampire with his pointy teeth, and then winks at the Norn. "Nice to meet you Doreen." He turns to the vampire gentleman. "Hello sir, I hope I'm not bothering you. I am Benji Carvenhall, the Dragonslayer, and who might your esteemed self be?"
UsernameMDM Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Hoke makes to sit with Alithor and Mando, but changes course and makes his way upstairs towards the lady with leather wings. "Good evening ma'am," Hoke says with a nod.
K-Nut Posted November 6, 2014 Posted November 6, 2014 Althior makes his way to the table with Mando after stopping at the bar first. "Frozen Gumdrop if you would be so kind, ma'am. Put it on Mando's tab." He works his way back to Mando's table. "How'd you come by this place? I must say the atmosphere is, well, rather odd. Must be relatively new." He glances to the dancing elf before returning his gaze to Mando. "How long have you been working in the acting business? Must have had some weird experiences in your profession. I once had to clear a theatre of demonized rats. Let me tell you, it was not all that enjoyable. Some of the actors took break a leg a bit literally that night, I must say,"
Waterbrick Down Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 Benji grins at the vampire with his pointy teeth, and then winks at the Norn. "Nice to meet you Doreen." He turns to the vampire gentleman. "Hello sir, I hope I'm not bothering you. I am Benji Carvenhall, the Dragonslayer, and who might your esteemed self be?" The Vampire sits unfazed by Benji's titles. "No bother at all, I am Carnabus Bollins III. What brings you to The Lotus?" Hoke makes to sit with Alithor and Mando, but changes course and makes his way upstairs towards the lady with leather wings. "Good evening ma'am," Hoke says with a nod. Hoke down's his drink, he feels a tingling sensation crawl across his skin he becomes keenly aware of the temperature of the room and Torc's body heat seems invigorating to the Mystic Knight. For a short time Hoke has gained the ability to Absorb Fire. Hoke mounts the stairs and approaches the succubus, the shapely demon smiles at him. "Good evening, Hoke Ablesword." Althior makes his way to the table with Mando after stopping at the bar first. "Frozen Gumdrop if you would be so kind, ma'am. Put it on Mando's tab." He works his way back to Mando's table. "How'd you come by this place? I must say the atmosphere is, well, rather odd. Must be relatively new." He glances to the dancing elf before returning his gaze to Mando.

Let me tell you, it was not all that enjoyable. Some of the actors took break a leg a bit literally that night, I must say," The mermaid hands Althior a frothy drink, dew condensing on the frozen mug. The necromancer downs his drink and feels Companionship with those around him. Companionship - All heroes gain +1 SP for total number of heroes in battle with Companionship. Cannot exist if only one hero has Companionship. "It's been here for about a year now, word gets around about the best local establishments fast. I've been acting for nearly 5 years, Wigglepike brought me in from Bric'lin, I can't say he has the best taste in productions, but he knows how to run a theater. And you can bet I've seen some weird things, like just last week I was nearly torn in half by some freak."
