After a good night's sleep, the Party is well rested. You meet up in the inn's common room, sit down for a simple but excellent breakfast, and get ready to head out for Ft. Wunny. |

>Tak enjoys the live breakfast, once again rapidly consuming everything but the skin of whatever poor animal meets this at least fortunately brief fate. Before we leave there are a couple of less shady items that Tak adds to the already long list of equipment to make sure the party is hopefully prepared for most eventualities they might encounter. They're normal, non-illegal ones though, just a couple of sources of ignition - namely flint and steeel, a waterproof, sealed tinderbox and a number of boxes of waterproof matches. >Tak will also discreetly check with criminal contacts if there are any assassination jobs targeting other would be ruin explorers and with the barkeep to see if there is anything that they or the owner would like us to retrieve or accomplish in Fort Wunny, never hurts to achieve more than one goal in a single journey, and then make ready to leave with the others on their voyage into the unknown! >"Once everyone has done everything they need, let's get heading to the Fort." the hooded killer comments to the rest of the party upon finishing up the last of the preparations. |

Roll percentage dice, double-high. What this means is if you roll a 23, it's a 32- if you roll a 49 it's a 94- the highest number of 2 10-sided dice is the "tens" number (the barkeep seems to have taken a liking to you. That may or may not be good...) |

"Thank you." comes the response from beneath the hood of the greatcoat after a few moments pause, emotionless and still weirdly alien but the more astute of the party can probably tell that the assassin seems genuinely appreciative towards the barkeep for all of their help. "If there is anything I can do to repay you hospitality, would be happy to oblige... friend." Tak adds after another long moment of consideration before adding this last bit, it's clear that the hooded one doesn't make friends easily or often but seems to respect the barkeep. Perhaps the real adventure is the friends we make along the way after all! |

on his way out the door, Llany pauses for a moment and fumbles in one of his pockets. he pulls out a scrap of paper and hands it to the barkeeper "i had some Ideas this morning about some new drinks you could make here? you can use some of the meat drippings from your menu items to make these drinks" (he gestures to the paper) "much more potent for only a small increase in material cost! also if you filter these drinks" (he points at another list) "through any spare orcs livers you've got, the drinks don't actually lose any potency, pick up some interesting flavours worth Experimenting with, and then the orc livers are a lot more tender!" he blinks for a moment, flips the paper over and quickly scribbles a diagram on it. some kind of reverse osmosis setup? "also this idea isn't done but here's a picture and maybe you can finish it, thank you for your hospitality!" biosterous fucked around with this message at 22:42 on May 15, 2020 |

my as yet unnamed avatar has emerged from a sleep of vivid and confusing dreams. he is totally focused on sorting them out in his head and appears oblivious to those around him. he is furiously trying to divine some meaning from his sagey dreams and may bump into someone while lost in thought which would be unfortunate???

take the moon posted:lol When the rest of the Party meets downstairs and just before they head out, the Nu Mou stumbles down the stairs in a seeming daze, a strange aura of scintillating colors and varying shades and patterns of mists surrounding their form; they appear to be dreamwalking. They turn toward the group, then; last second- stumble and trip into the barkeep. Dorg's eyes glaze over, then they charge up with every color of the rainbow, and just as suddenly as it happened, his eyes clear up and return to their usual steely gray. He grunts, turns behind him to collect a few things from behind the bar, and looks at the group with a fairly disconcerting, wicked smile- "Looks like we're going on an a d v e n t u r e!" he says, putting on a strange hat with a bunch of fishing hooks stuck in it. The barkeep rolled a 2. Dirty Dorg has joined the Party! |

(Yeah, Tak will disclose the fact that he has the assault vest of holding and that he also has a crossbow of holding but that it's cursed so he usually just fills it up with crossbow bolts of different types. Tak figures it's best to be upfront with that so the group can make use of it if necessary) |

Dorg has anyone who is willing to lend a hand, and directs everyone to the kitchen. There are long boards, 5 feel long but only about 2 feet wide, 6 in all- pre-filled covered up and piled somewhat high with food stuffs and some other things. Dorg intends to stuff them all inside your crossbow... To the amusement of everyone, each board slides right into the crossbow space, filling it up nicely with a variety of fresh food, drink, medical supplies, and some other things you didn't dare to ask about, because none of you have ever seen a rocket launcher before. "Now I think we're ready to do this thing!" Dorg says. At that, the Party heads out the door. You walk out to the road, head South, and journey toward the ruins of Fort Wunny. Everyone roll a 20! |

Buddy tiptoes down the stairs in the morning, freezing on the last step by the doorway upon hearing the familiar sounds of Tak slurping down a woodland creature from the night before. He shudders and sighs deeply before rounding the corner with a bright smile on his face. Tipping his hat to Llany at the bar he chuckles a, "howdy" before pulling up his own seat and ordering two ales to start the day. Buddy sips his breakfast while watching the ongoings, muttering beneath the rim of his stetson while he watches Dorg gear up, "hehehe, that's a silly hat". He stumbles out of the tavern along with the rest of the party, yawning and idly strumming away as the mood takes him.

As the Party leaves Dirty Dorg's, the bar begins to fade out of sight. A bat flits out from under an eave, landing on Heather Snapp's shoulder where it falls asleep. It's raining outside, rather hard. Dorg looks around with a grim look on his face and says out loud to no one in particular "Welp, we can't have none of DIS goin' on fer too long now, can we." no one seems to have an argument for the point,. Looking at Tak, Dorg asks him to pull out the crossbow where everything was loaded into. "I loaded up sumpin' SPECIAL for dis kinda ting," he says, gesturing at the lousy weather around you. Dorg reached into the crossbow for a bit, rummaging around it's interdimensional space until he found what he was looking for. "Ah, here it is!" he says, as he pulls out a 7 foot long pole that was wrapped with a black fabric. Unwrapping the fabric, a muffled snap! sound was heard as the pole quickly fanned out into a very large umbrella that covered the party with ease, protecting them from the elements. The wind wasn't even howling beneath it! "Alright, I tink we're all set den!" he says, satisfied with his labors. "We got about a day an a half of dis crap, no way omma deal wit dis sh... shtuff." The South Road was a day and a half or so Dorg had mentioned yesterday to the two people who left, then Fort Wunny would be down the road and on the right. Everyone roll a 20, remembering to reroll 1s, 10s and 20s... |

>Tak complies with the barkeeps request without hesitation, the hooded killer not seeming bothered by the weather by willing to make the journey more pleasant for less stoic party members. >Once the umbrella shelter is unfurled, Tak keeps to the front edge of it, returning to invisibility and continuing to keep a watch out for any signs of trouble in the surrounding area.

The weather doesn't seem to bother Buddy all that much. Really the only change you notice is that his idle plucking away has gotten a little happier and a delicate hum escapes from behind his bushy moustache beneath the mighty umbrella's protection. rolled a 14
