Ambrosia Software Web Board: The Alraeican Tavern, Part III - Ambrosia Software Web Board

Katherine approaches the others with a large pouch filled with oboloi. "I'm in for a game of poker" she says, "anyone wants to join?"

Katze agrees readily, not discouraged the least by losing so often, and somehow never running out of money.

*Avatara, having had a part in Katze's increadible sum of oboloi, decides to join the game...content to win at least one round...any way he has to...*

In walks the Tycho Maudd from the present.

Outside a lonely snowman is slowly melting. "If I'd only had any hands, then I could play poker," is the last conscious thought that passes through his head, as his carrot-nose falls off.

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

From somewhere behind them, a terribly familiar sound is heard. Fanatic looks and sees the Singing Frog.

Gramps' reaction was immeadiate. "OH NO YA DON"T!" he yells, leaping on the frog and promptly flattening it. Gramps is knocked unconsious from the fall.

Just when everybody thought it was finally over, the bear escaped, and much to everyone's suprise, exclaims, "Ooooh! Poker! Can I play?"

After proceeding to beat Katze eight times, Fanatic, who was growing tired with the bear altogether, tried to magically banish it from the bar. But before he could proceed, the singing frog revives itself, and begins singing. Three more beer kegs explode. Avatara, Slayer, Rogan, Tycho, Talos, and Katze are drenched in beer, while fanatic is trying franticly to catch the frog. The frog sings, and Fanatic is shrunk down to the size Tycho had previously been. Fanatic unsheaths Guillotine, and charges toward the frog. The bear screams, "EEEK! A frog! Get it away, get it away!"

The singing frog, deciding to wreak even more havoc, chomps on a bar support. "Wow! I didn't know the little guy had teeth!" came a voice. Gramps had awaken. Fanatic proceeds to stab the singing frog, immeadiately killing it. the frogs ghost glares indignantly at fanatic, who proceeds to cut the frog's body to pieces, not satisfied with it being just dead. now all people had to worry about is the fact that the bear is rampaging throughout the tavern in sheer terror, and frequently running into more beer kegs.

Katze uses the commotion to refill her bag of oboloi unnoticed, while everyone else is busy.
It is only later that some patrons will discover they spent a little more money on drink than they thought they had.

Katherine quickly refills her pouch with oboloi from some unconscious patrons (they'd only get even more drunk anyway) and sits back to watch the fight...

Talos looks back to make sure he still had his 7000 oboloi savings ball, and notices it missing. Looking at the tables, he notices that everyone now had iron forks and knives, looking similar to what was in the ball. "Hey!" he yelled. He used wooden silverware.

Katze leans back and watches in amusement as the frightened patrons try to make up reasons where they got the iron forks and stuff from, and how Talos obviously doesn't believe them.
"I always use iron. I brought it here." Someone says.
"Uhm, well ... ya know ... this is ... uhm, a ... a present ... yeah, a present, that is!" Another of the patrons says.
Katze laughs silently. She isn't eating anything, by the way.

*Talos runs over to grab the metal silverware, but suddenly the forks and knives rear up in the air, pointing the sharp ends at Talos. Talos skids to a stop, then turns and runs the other way while the silverware chases after him. Avatara uses his diversion to steal a beer keg, and hide it behind Katze, in such a way that nobody could see it.*

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

The 2 two Tychos look at each other and shrug.

While Katze looks from one Tycho to the other, confused by what she's seeing and beginning to think she had a drink or two too many, she doesn't notice that Talos - the silverware hot on his heels - has turned and is now heading their way. Suddenly the Tychos jump aside, and Katze, surprised, stumbles back, and accidentally trips on the beer keg. She bumps backwards into one of the tables, and all the kegs on it fall, spilling their content. There she's sitting on the ground, in a growing lake of beer, with an angry Talos facing her. (The spell that made the silverware move had worn off.) And some displeased drunk patrons.

*a large number of drunk patrons hurries over to Katze and starts licking the floor around her. Soon, the only trace of beer is some sticky stains and the smell of alcohol*

Talos gets off the floor from where he slipped on the beer, and angrily picks up the silverware which had harmlessly clattered onto the floor about a meter away from where he fell. Muttering to himself, he takes the large amounts of iron and throws them into the stove, hoping to remelt them into one ball.

Talos waits until he thinks the silverware has melted enough and then opens the stove...only to have it explode in his face. A very disdain Talos looks grumpily at Avatara's table of him, Katze, Katherine, and Zephyr, before picking up the globs of metal scattered everywhere.

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

A 12 foot demon tries to enter calmly but busts down the door. Everyone looks at it, but all it does is walk up to Talos and asks for 200 pounds of steak and sits down.

Talos glances at the demon and calls one of his attendants to get something. About a minute later, a full cow enters into the tavern and is laid in front of the demon. The demon thanks Talos, and hands him one hundred oboloi.

DF, watching all this fun through a hole in the fabric of time, decides to take a few hundred oboloi worth of forks and knives that started to chase Talos and then goes back to see the resulting scene. Talos was now talking with a demon. Upon seeing 2 Tychos, DF destroys one and let's the other live as he sits back in a comfy chair and watches some more.

Cythera team story which has been around for 7 months.

Ferazel, getting tired of the whole oboli incident, takes the iron remains, conjures a steel rod, and a steel anvil, and procedes to use fire elementals to melt the 7,000 oboli back into oboli. He hands them to Talos who thanks Ferazel and procedes to count the oboli. He has about 6,000 oboli. He looks around, and sees a few patrons with mouthfuls of unusual objects. He yells at them, "No more beer for you!", and they spit out the ironware.

In walks Rogan, carrying a large treasure chest. "I'm tired from my last uest and thirsting for some good wine and a game of cards!" he announces as he sits down next to Katherine. He orders a round of drinks and asks: "Anyone wants to join?"

Ferazel sits down and says, "Sure, I'll play."

Avatara asks where Rogan got the treasure chest.

Both Tycho's sit down to play.

Katze also sits down at Rogan's table and joins the game.
