The Slop

Schmall · Posted: Wed Aug 20, 2008 5:48 pm Post subject: The Slop

When you walk in into the only tavern in town, you realize why it is called The Slop. The rowdiest bunch of sailors and fishermen are drinking, arm wrestling, swaping the most outragous fishing stores, knife throwing game in one corner, and another corner is roped off as two men box. The place is poorly light, cigar and pipe smoke cling the air, and the place reeks of the unwashed and spilt sour beer. To top it all off, the boxum barmaids seem to be even tougher and quickly put any man in thier place when they lay an unwanted hand on them. Behind the bar, you see the fattest man you have ever seen serving those at the bar.

Walking in I look at the unsightly men. Thinking I have fought harder alone, I find the most rowdy of the people and throw him out, hoping to get the others attention of what will happen if they do anything unfavorable when I am around. Takeing the guy with me I leave. Screams can be heard for only a second before it goes silent and a splash can be heard from the water.

At the sight of the water, the unlucky man screams his lungs out in terror for it is sundown, meaning the serpents have waking up and hungry for thier breakfast. The man returns to the surface only to dissappear back under in a cloud of red.

When you go back into The Slop, not a man makes eye contact with you. One of the boxum women walks up to you, eyes you up and down, and says in a rather tough voice, "Well, well, well, what have we hear? Any man that can throw Frank out into the waters and come back without a blackeye or bleeding must be tough indeed. Just let me know if you need someone to warm your bed at night dear."

She turns and walks back to the bar with a rather obvious feminine movements that demands attention.

Making my way in I look at everyone and slaughter anyone who seems to be slightly mean to creatures, or anyone whose presence seems to be in bad taste (besides mine). Taking their heads I walk out of the bar.

Every man and women runs screaming at the carnage. Some scream something the Reaper, another screaming about Death in The Slop, and a few simply scream in pain after diving out the back windows and landing into the serpent infested waters. The serpents quickly devour those that fall into the water for they have long sense learned to linger near the wharves for food tends to fall in at times...

*Archaic walks into the tavern and sees the carnage with blood everywhere. A girlish smile crosses his face as his eyes grow wide and his checks glow red as he lets out a squee of joy.*

"Dinner! Everybody get the heck out of my way now!"

*Archaic pushes everybody out of his way as he samples the left overs that the corpses left behind. The food itself was rather disgusting, but the blood on some of the dishes was actually rather good for weaklings. After eating a few dishes Archaic kicks a few of the corpses out of his way and looks at the crowd before letting out a burp and moving on his way.*

The emperor walks into the tavern with several escorts bearing rather large bisentos. the are garbed in aluminum suits and their faces are hidden by paper masks. A few ruffians are harassing an old man in the corner, but they are quickly subdued.

"It seems Validus has fallen quite low! Once this Province prospered greatly, but to think of what it has become now! Nothing more than a gathering place for thugs. Has the Lord of this area nothing to say for this?"

The barkeep approaches the emperor and gets down on all fours. Waiting until he is granted permission to speak, he apologizes for approaching the emperor and explains how Schmall has not been seen in Validus as of late. The Emperor, frustrated leaves with his mysterious guards.

makign my way to the bar I notice more people I have yet to slay who are deserving. I quickly make my way in and go on a rampage, killing all who look like low life people. Screams of horror are heard from inside, and before long it goes quiet. While a few people live still, many were chopped down. Diving into the water to cleanse myself and to caln my wounds I quickly get out before the serpents can get me. A smile comes on my face as I head towards the house in which schmall is probably isolated himself in.

*Archaic walks into the bar with a serious look on his face and approaches the bartender. Laying his gladius down on the counter, Archaic looks into the man's eyes before speaking.*

"Do you know where I can find any books. Specifically books that may discuss the locations of territories that may have been forgotten. Really though, any books would work though. One warning though, if you even think about lying to me, this gladius will end up behind you."

*The Bartender looks to archaic as he rests his head on his arms and his elbow in turn on the counter*

"Look around, business is slow, I can't afford to chat for free. Buy yourself some grog or something, then we can have a chat."

Archaic · Posted: Tue Dec 16, 2008 8:16 pm Post subject:

"Fine, what can I get for 20 GC? I know it may not be a lot, but it most certainly is more than what the rest of your customers have spent so far."

*Archaic lays the GC on the counter and waits for the man's reaction.*

*GC Paid*

The man quickly livens up and fixes archaic some type of incredibly lavish looking drink.

"Its been awhile since we have had someone of your custom come in here, so what exactly was it that you were looking for information on again?"

Archaic · Posted: Wed Dec 17, 2008 2:30 pm Post subject:

"The location of a stockpile of books, especially those pertaining to caves and fortresses that may have been forgotten. However the specifics are not as important as the general location of books. I am trying to build a library in the capital, and anything will be of help."

*Archaic looks at his drink and takes a large sip.*

"Well... there is that old library rumors tell about. If you are lookin' for books i suppose that that would be the best place to go... if you can get there.
The world has supposedly come a long way since its beginnings. Im just a bartender so i may not be as educated as most but i can still remember the tales told to me when I was young.
Ducerebor is the name of the deity that my ancestors worshiped and the one that I hail to as well. He is powerful and wise, a being that is said to control the land and to have given birth to many summons. Legend tells that when man first began to write, it was his great interested to collect these scripts created by lesser beings. Storing them in a small library, each piece is said to contain great knowledge, but sadly its location has been lost."
Explains the barkeep

*Archaic takes an other large sip of his drink and finishes it. Taking out his Kiseru he begins to smoke it.*

"Hope you don't mind the smoke, I find that its relaxing and it helps me think. Now, I know that the library is lost, but the fact that your ancestors worshiped this Ducerebor leads me to believe that the location is most likely not that far from Validus. Sorry if this is jumping to conclusions, but I just assume that if they worshiped him then they would want to be close to him, and if he was as great a deity as you make him out to be, then surely he would want to share his knowledge with his followers. I also appreciate the age of these books as they most likely contain the information that I need."

*Archaic takes an other puff of his kiseru as he puts his gladius away.*

"I greatly appreciate this info so for that I wont cause any harm. In fact, here's a 5 GC tip for the information. I will come visit in a few more days, if you find anything else out please don't hesitate to tell me. The name's Archaic by the way, it'd be best not to forget it."

*Archaic lays down 5 GC and gets up to slowly walk away, waiting for the Bartender's response before leaving.*
