AVAST !! This be the Salty Mermaid and we are a respectable pub and tavern here magistrates we are in NO WAY filled with the most wanted pirates and war criminals in the history of the GREAT EMPIRE and the person you were looking for just went that a way ....
pushes the dagger aside ( casually ) " what is it with people feeling the need to point weapons at me every time I open a tavern here ??? Haven't we already established how difficult it is to kill me with that kind of thing ???" the wild eyed mariner favors this latest patron with a blast of fetid breath and a harsh cackle as the thunder peals and echoes a counter point to the approaching squall .....
it says very clearly on the door magistrate .... the man you are looking for ? ... he just left .....
"Which direction did he go in?!" roared the man, slamming his dagger hand into the counter.
Noble Leone (US1) said:*Pulls out pistol, shoots at the sign, which explodes into smithereens*
"Which direction did he go in?!" roared the man, slamming his dagger hand into the counter.
immediately confiscates the pistol and tosses it into a box with the other pistols and light crossbows and puts up a new sign with the dagger from the counter and an old wooden mallet ....." do what now"?? mutters the barkeep ....
"Sorry there magistrate ye'argh going to have to speak up I am deaf as a post you see I was a gunner's mate aboard a man o' war " .... passes the stout man an even stouter ale .... and a wooden spork to eat it with .... "that is how I lost me other leg ye savy ?" ...
"You will tell me exactly where he went, or you will suffer the price of your life." Growled the man pointing his knife hand at the bar keepers throat.
Noble Leone (US1) said:*Grabs the collar of the bar keeper, leans in close so that you can smell the fowl smell on his breath, and see the scurvy ridden teeth in his mouth*
"You will tell me exactly where he went, or you will suffer the price of your life." Growled the man pointing his knife hand at the bar keepers throat.
The tavern keeper casually produces and points a loaded pistol at the strangely aggressive man's stomach and pulls the trigger ... "Now you have been shot and the man you are looking for just went that a way "... leaves the stranger in a heap to bleed to death from a nasty stomach wound the kind you can only get from a .40 caliber muzzle loaded lead ball ..... there will be no more threatening of tavern keepers with weapons here ... I decided to pack two pistols this time ... just in case ... You go find a surgeon I am going to go reload ... and check my powder ....
hands the mug of ale to the helpful swabbie and splits the coins that fell from the man's seacoat when his body hit the floor ... One for you and two for me ... Mind the wind and hold yer water ....
the man you are looking for just left .....
He just came back.....Cormyria (US1) said:the man you are looking for just left .....
Shiixxan (INT1) said:He just came back.....Cormyria (US1) said:the man you are looking for just left .....
