[OOC] The Lonely Tavern

[Skyrte]

The Lonely Tavern

Upon its secluded hill, they all arrive here at one point or another. Either in search of fame and glory, or the odd chance of companionship in far away places...

---

Welcome! The Lonely Tavern is where adventurers and folks from many realms or another can meet and mingle within. This is to be particularly a fantasy themed setting, in which most fantasy themed characters are all welcomed. At the start of our setting, the Tavern will be somewhat of a dirty abandoned mess. As time progresses, events unfold, quests are completed, the tavern will begin to take proper form, and even open up more rooms.

Rules

1. Your character must be appropriate to the setting. (Fantasy themed) A full length character sheet isn't required for this, but you must at least post in the character's tab these select things. (Character name, picture or description of appearance, and a few lines detailing who they are.) Do this before you post in IC please.
2. Lets all try to get along OOC wise. In IC, there will no doubt be some character's who don't get along with each other.
3. The main room of the tavern has only FOUR corners, and only two of them have tables in them. If you all plan to be edgy assassins and rogues who wish to lurk in their shady corners, prepare to share the space.
4. When it comes to posting, try to write at least a paragraph. If you have a lack of content to work with, or need to post something with all do haste, a few lines are acceptable.
5. Most of all, have fun and enjoy your time.
6. If you wish to have your character leave, please wrap up whatever activity or conversation you are having first out of respect for your fellow RPer. If you can not do this, at least inform them OOCly or by private message that you've left the rp. I wont enforce this, but courtesy is always a nice bonus.
7. No god-modding- Don't "take control" of another person's character without their permission.

The Tavern

Outside:Apart from the grand view, the outside is rather sparse and empty. A few boulders and trees are seen scattered around the mountain top, and old stone benches stand firmly in place as they always have around an ancient well. An outhouse can be found under a tree on the edge of the cliff.

Main Floor: A loosely attached chandelier lights the main room and its mess of tables and chairs which fill the room. Several stools are gathered in front of a cluttered bar counter which still has a stock of old wines, ales, meads, beers, and other assorted brews behind it. The walls surrounding the room are barren and dull. Shelves and racks could have once been decorated with a vast array of trophies and trinkets, but that is no longer the case. From here several paths lead off to different parts of the tavern. Along the wall which the bar counter is, a door which leads to the kitchen can be found. By the entrance is a set of stairs which lead up to the second floor, although they appear rickety and unsafe. Below those stairs are another flight of stairs which lead to the basement.

The Kitchen: Some would go as far to exclaim that the chambers of the pestilent god of plagues and diseases would be cleaner than this place. Dirty dishes and bowls fill the sinks and litter the floor. Something or someone probably died in the pantry possibly too. A spit remains cool and lifeless, but altogether still very much functional. A large cauldron lies on its side, its discarded contents spilled across the floor.

Second Floor: From the balcony above, you can looking down into the main floor. Beside the balcony are a few more sets of tables and chairs to reside at. Further down the hall however appears to have fallen into disrepair, and the bedrooms however appear to be in okay condition.

Basement: It appears to be divided into three sections. The first room you'll come across is storage, which appears to be filled with dry breads and more drinks. To the left is a doorway leading to a small bath house. The large stone tub is empty, but runic symbols at the bottom of it can visibly be seen. To the right is a public dormitory with hay stuffed beds, which was probably meant to be rooming for poorer occupants.

It is possible that more rooms exist, but this unusual tavern may not reveal them so willingly.

The Tavern's Tales

Trinkets and Memoirs
The Dearest Journal: "Give to my Dearest..." Apart from this one line, the pages are empty.

I've got no ideas

@Skyrte

RAINBOW DEMONS!

But yeah, kinda sent Alex off to find the guy who betrayed his people :)

[Nevix]

I'm here

[Nevix]

Might want to hop onto the old thread and mention everyone else, I can get in contact with Scarifar but beyond that...

@Nevix

Go ahead and contact Scarifar. I'm pretty certain that everyone who wants to be here is already here, judging by the Character tab.
Besides, if they want to come back, they'll find the two last posts and migrate over.

@Legion-114

Not sure who's going to join you in that quest...
The RP is supposed to be centered around the tavern. And with Xavalzo gone, and potentially several others, we need to know how to fill those gaps. Particularly Xavalzo's task, the bartender itself. We could retcon Xav out and replace him with a Bartend NPC of my own, which solves that problem.
And then there's if we decide to just pick up where we left off, or if we leave a little gap, or whatever.

@Skyrte

I'm ok with the npc bartender. The gap in time I think all depends on if you have a plan to transition from the old story.

Also did you post anything in the interest checks to draw in new folks?

@Idemus046

I did not post any IntChecks yet. I would rather figure out how we'll be continuing before bringing new people in.
We could do a hard reset of the RP, but I would rather not rewrite the things I have already written. So a continuation. A direct continuation may be problematic, as I believe one or two characters were in the middle of interacting with Xavalzo. Perhaps a short skip of a couple of hours to disengage any characters from him, then retcon him out and replace him with the NPC Bartender?

Does that sound good?

@Skyrte

Sounds like the best decision to me.

[Idemus046]

@Skyrte works for me. We just need to figure out where our conversation went in the time jump.

[Legion-114]

@Skyrte

It's more to explain his/my absence for a while.

@Idemus046

I'll be posting in a few hours. Basically Ihri would be cleaning up the kitchen and fixing up dinner, while Black does... Things with your Warforged. Like arm wrestling or something. The examination itself will be during dinner time.

@Legion-114

Ah, I see. Alright.

btw Scarifar and Nevix have dropped out.

[Idemus046]

@Skyrte sounds good to me.

Shame to hear about Scarifar and Nevix though.

[Skyrte]

yep i lied
Posting tomorrow

Today though I'll be putting up an interest check.

[TimeMasterX]

Is this open? It sounds like you're all coming from another thread but this idea really interests me.

[Subject Zero]

@TimeMasterX The idea of this thing is that it's always open to everyone to come and go as they please. So yes, it's still open.
And we are coming from another thread. The original GM quit and handed control over to Skyrte, who opened this thread.

@TimeMasterX

All you need is name, appearance, and a bio. Anything else is optional.
