Kindling

A pile of twigs shuffles in through the door and orders a drink.

SA

That awful smell that followed you into the room suddenly starts singing.

I have no idea what it's on about.  Go figure.

Ra-Tiel

Silently the door swings open and a sleek figure steps in. Without making a sound the figure walks towards an isolated table in the back of the den. It wears a dark green elven robe, with dark blue ornaments and embroidered with intricate arcane patterns woven from mithril threads. Its face is covered under a dark hood, and the shadow seems deeper, almost alive under the hood, eating away every ray of light and obscuring its features. A magical coldness seems to follow in its tracks, and those who are passed by it suddenly feel goose bumps racing over their skin.

Calculating every move, the creature makes its way to the table and slowly sits down. After a few moments, Griznuq feels the creature's gaze focusing upon him. And although he can see no eyes - not even a face - he feels as if pierced by a thousand eyes. Then the creature speaks, and a harsh, raspy, and inhuman voice echoes hollowly through the den. "Welcome, Griznuq. I - we - have been waiting for you..."

[ooc]Welcome! :) I hope you have a good time here... and now hand over the cake! :yumm: :P ;) [/ooc]

Griznuq

A strange feeling Griznuq thought to himself. A year ago, this hollow voice and exposing gaze would have certain stricken him with fear. Today? He'd sooner share a drink with this shade than return to the road.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting," he said. [ooc]I was stuck behind a school bus![/ooc]

Higgs Boson

"Nope, no Goa'uld."
[ooc]You just had to go and sci-fi it up, didn't you SG? :D[/ooc]

If you're playing epic, pause for a moment to laugh at WotC's farcical cosmic entity stats and move on. They aren't there to be taken seriously. Trust me. They aren't even suitable for use as avatars. -WotC Epic Boards, Epic FAQ

Kindling

The sticks take a long, deep swallow, and then sprawl back in the seat with a sigh.
all hail the reapers of hope

Xathan

Xathan looks around, mildly shocked for a moment. Three months, no patrons, and today buisness goes through the roof

Quote from: HiggsA grin flashes from underneath the scarlet hood. "You're the only one wacked enough to make a Gibbering Mouther, period!"
"Well," Griznuq said stepping up to the bar. He climbed into a stool, and pulled it close to the bar. He looked around the room, his eyes now adjusted and taking it all in. I've a funny feeling I've come to the right place he thought nodding his approval.

"A tall mug of grog and a rare slab of beef would be more than perfect... Also, I'm going to need a place to hang my coat. I believe I'll be staying a while'[/quote]With a sound that was incredibly close to a *KAWOOSH*, a man appear near a table, staggering into a table and falling heavily into a chair.

"I'm not too late for the Gibbering Mouther Stew, am I?"[/quote]Great Hells preserve me, but I need some help here!Xathan goes in back for a moment, and then comes back out - followed by a metal replica of himself, forged of steel and inlaid with mithral runes. It looks somewhat dusty, and Xathan begins wiping a rag over it.

[ooc]That is the Bar Golem. To make things easier, when I'm not around to actively serve things, the Bar Golem gives you your drink and food.

The Dragon's Den is up in buisness. I'll have some menus up later.[/ooc]

Seraph

Companion to a lonely song,
A melody the floor along
Begins to float, and sudden, where
No one had been, is standing there
A figure new upon the scene
That stands white-masked with face unseen.
He moves no more till music fades
And words with you now freely trades
"There be none here you need beware of,
For myself, you may call me Seraph
."

Something strange and odorous in the corner lets out a long groan and shifts, dislodging a few clumps of mud that fall to the floor.

[ooc]Hey thar. I'm Golem, and I'm IMPORTANT. Right?[/ooc]

Kindling

The twigs unlimber and take a stroll around the floor. "Yeah, important, okay, whatever..." comes the thin, scratchy voice from the kindle.

Atlantis

On the chandelier, you see a small, bat-like creature with pulsing eyes, changing colors every so often while it reads. IT looks up from its book and exclaims,"Why hello there. You must be new to here. Why dont you try the Astral Insects & Rice Bowl?", he directs at Griznuq."They are quite juicy, but contrastingly crunchy as well. You know what..? I feel like having one. Xathan, would you please get me one?", says the bat-like animal as it flutters down to the counter.It then bursts off into song singing..."Welcome new member,
Hope you like it here,
Just don't let these guys,
Talk off your ear.

When we get annoying,
Which happens quite often,
Be annoying too,
And our hearts will soften.

If ever you're bored,
Just show up online,
We wash away boredom,
In absolutely no time."

 [spoiler The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins]In the middle of the earth in the land of the Shire
lives a brave little hobbit whom we all admire.
With his long wooden pipe,
fuzzy, woolly toes,
he lives in a hobbit-hole and everybody knows him

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Now hobbits are a peace-lovin' folks you know
They don't like to hurry and they take things slow
They don't like to travel away from home
They just want to eat and be left alone
But one day Bilbo was asked to go
on a big adventure to the caves below,
to help some dwarves get back their gold
that was stolen by a dragon in the days of old.

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Well he fought with the goblins!
He battled a troll!!
He riddled with Gollum!!!
A magic ring he stole!!!!
He was chased by wolves!!!!!
Lost in the forest!!!!!!
Escaped in a barrel from the elf-king's halls!!!!!!!

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Now he's back in his hole in the land of the Shire,
that brave little hobbit whom we all admire,
just a-sittin' on a treasure of silver and gold
a-puffin' on his pipe in his hobbit-hole.

Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
He's only three feet tall
Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo Baggins
The bravest little hobbit of them all

Griznuq

"Thanks for the welcome, I think I shall like it here very much," the scruffy human said scratching at his stubbled neck.

Warm food, cold drink, and all the interesting people one could want to meet, Griz thought to himself. What better place to call home?
