It took forever, but Gharlyc was finally able to find a trader for the expensive wine. On his way back to the Bawdy Dog, he thought about how this cost was worth it to re-solidify his friendship with Busker, to show that Gharlyc was someone he could trust and rely on. Gharlyc needed a place to lay low for the time being, and Busker's tavern just seemed so much better than the old church in town. He was already trotting at a brisk pace to get back, but after hearing the loud Bang, Gharlyc was startled out of his thoughts and full out ran into the back entrance of the tavern and snuck through the storage and kitchen to peer into the bar. Chaos... pure and simple. Weapons were out (there was already blood), too many people standing up and facing off against others... Gharlyc didn't know what to do. He needed to be in hiding, to not stand out. But Busker was the only friend he could rely on in this crap world, and even if it is a crap tavern, it was still Busker's. Busker didn't like trouble, and especially didn't like violence. Gharlyc needed to do something... With a sigh Gharlyc first runs over to Pallas, reaching up to gently tap her on her forearm to get her attention (Gharlyc is very, very short). [color=bc8dbf][b]"Oh renowned bounty hunter! The people in here are in peril! I would ask for your assistance in putting a stop to these arguments and quarrels, physically if need be."[/b][/color] [@karamonnom] Then scampering over to Fade, putting himself between her and Ealdwine, he addressed her in a very demure and servile manner holding up the bottle of honeyed raspberry wine in one hand while holding up his knife in the other towards Ealdwine to desperately fend his enraged blows. [color=bc8dbf][b]"Madame Drow, I apologize for the late delivery, but here is the wine you have asked for. And if it pleases you, we can offer you a private room so that you may enjoy a quiet evening free from the noise of this rabble. Ah, for no charge of course, as an apology for the poor service we have rendered thus far."[/b][/color] [@ViolentViolet] [color=bc8dbf][b]"And you, Bard! Still yourself for a moment before you do me an injury! I have no quarrel with you. Perhaps we can reach an accommodation to appease you as well?"[/b][/color] [@Illogical Jim]
