Ambrosia Software Web Board: Tavern continued - Ambrosia Software Web Board

Rogan suddenly realised what the poodles were after, so he rips his sack off and grabs a bottle of wine. When the poodles try to eat Rogan`s hand, he throws the wine bottle at Avatara. His clothes are now stained with wine...

*Avatara quickly takes off his stained cloak, and is relieved to find the liquid didn't touch any other garments underneath. With all his strength, Avatara hurls the cloak at Rogan, knocking him dowm among the poodles.

------------------
"I'm a controversial figure. My friends either dislike me or hate me."

When the poodles attack Rogan, he is covered by Avatara`s cloak...for five seconds.
Then the poodles have destroyed the cloak and starts chewing on his metal breast plate. Rogan manages, with a little effort, to take off his armor and throws it across the tavern. It bounces off the wall and hits the green frog. The poodles attack the frog...

the Frog has had enough, but before he could get out of the bar, Fanatic walks in. the place is a mess. poodles everywhere. wine everywhere. Fanatic, realizing what had happened, threw a dagger at a BEAR keg, which the bear exploded out of and promptly attacked the poodles. the poodles didnt stand a chance. within five minutes, the bar was filles with dead poodles. Fanatic cast fetch and the dead poodles dissapeared, along with the bear. Fanatic turns to the frog.
"BAD boy, BAD!"
the singing frog shrinks into a corner.
"Has my frog been causing trouble? he likes to replicate things. i need to keep him under a leash...


------------------
I'm about to drop the hammer and dispense some indiscriminate justice!

*Avatara, unapt in this spell "fetch", had a bone to pick with GameFanatic so he nudged theKestrel/GlueBubble.*

"Can you cast fetch on that fellow GameFanatic and get him to come here?"

------------------
"I'm a controversial figure. My friends either dislike me or hate me."

My pleasure....*whoosh*.....uh...was that supposed to happen?

------------------
And so the problem remained; lots of people were mean, and most of them were miserable, even the ones with digital watches. Many were increasingly of the opinion that they had all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that the trees had been a bad move and that no one should ever have left the oceans. - Douglass Adams

Grapper walks in and seeing the smoke asks"What happened in here."

------------------

"'What happened in here?'" Fanatic repeated, "Thirty two bloodthirsty rabid poodles and a singing Frog happened in here...not that its of any importance..."

::yawns again::

------------------
GOT YER CONK!

Grapper sighs and responds: "Oh, the usual mid-day madness...

------------------
I`m a bomb technician. If you see me running...try to keep up.

*Blinks at GameFanatic standing right in front of him.*

"Why is it every time you want to use fetch for abnormal purposes, it always decides to work correctly..."

------------------
"I'm a controversial figure. My friends either dislike me or hate me."

Ha, I'm just a more talented magician than you!

But my "fetch", which is what I was casting, worked!

Fanatic, shaken by the sudden speed of the fetch spell, had been caught off guard. he had been stnding in front of the lost bear keg and he feld himself being pulled extremely fast. The next moment he was standing in front of avatara and Kestrel.
"Uh, K-Kestrel? Avatara? W-What did y-you w-want with m-me?" Fanatic stammered.

"Just stand right there please. Now Kestrel, lets go to the other side of the room and I'll try to see if it works this time..."

------------------
"I'm a controversial figure. My friends either dislike me or hate me."

Fanatic moans, "Oh no."

"Don't let me interrupt you," says a non-familiar man who walks into the Tavern. It's Wratho and he doesn't recognize anyone, and nobody recognizes him; just as he wants it. "Countinue with whatever you're doing, I won't be around for long and not return soon."
Wratho takes a good drink and watches the regulars as they are doing something very exiting. Some dark and evil creature comes up through the floor, but Wratho who was waiting for it draws his short dagger "Frostlightning" and backs against the exit.
"Sorry to leave you so soon fellows," he shouts. "But I gotta save the world from a bunch of evil monsters like this one."
With an horrible howling, the creature made up by shadows darts for Wratho, who leaps out from the Tavern.
From a window, people regards as Wratho fights the beast, wielding his dagger and mystic cloak, until he's pushed down into a well. The creature howls again and disappears into the dark shadows.
The last words of Wratho hanged in the air for a long time: "I will return, don't worry 'bout me..."

------------------

Slayer, Talos, Rogan, Avatara, and all the rest of the gang walk through the door of the tavern. They are greeted with cheers. "We have defeated my clone," announces Slayer as grabs a seat. Slayer tosses Tavara's journal to Rogan and adds, "Here you go. Just don't clone yourself." Talos resumes his bartending with a round of drinks for everyone in the party, on the house. He then proceeds to dismiss the frog.

As Talos was about to put the frog into a small glass aquarium, to keep as a pet, he asked, "Hey, what was the frog doing here anyway? I thought I put a lock on the bar, and I don't see it."

The patrons of the bar who had been there throughout the period of his absence shifted their eyes around a little bit, and then GameFanatic said, "Well, one of us turned your lock into a frog. After all, we wanted to stay in the bar!" he continued, "well, the frog kind of- well- became the new bartender. Unfortunately, he got killed, and that's why he hasn't eaten anything in the aquarium. He's a ghost. For most of the time, the bartender of this tavern was a ghost of a frog."

Talos shifted his eyebrows a little bit and then said, "Well, I must say that things have not changed much since I left. Let us celebrate!"

Arrangements were soon made to celebrate the defeat of Slayer's clone and the safe return of the adventurers.

Rogan thanks Slayer and puts the journal in his sack. When Rogan gets ut and approaches the bar to order some wine, he feels something under his foot. Rogan takes his boot off and examins it. "Dang. I still have frog-goo under my boot" he says with an irritated look on his face.

*O o C*

Awe,darn you forgot about what happened to Grapper

------------------

Ooops!

Slayer pulls Grapper's battered carcass from his pack, and promptly resurrects the poor guy.

*Avatara, caught in the paradox of entering a room he already was in, becomes so caught up and confused in his twisted logic and time travel, that he orders a strong drink from Talos. Then Avatara sits down...both of them.*

------------------
"I'm a controversial figure. My friends either dislike me or hate me."

Katze just looks around confusedly, wondering what was going on, and how Avatara's twin could possibly look so exactly like him.

Talos looks at the two Avataras, and says to Avatara, "I didn't know you had an identical twin, who is this guy?"

Avatara looked around shiftily.
