<hr />
<div>==== '''The Event''' ====<br />
Drinkfest 450, presented by the [[Tavern Troupe]] and hosted by [[Medir al'Malik]], took place on Thursday, 12 September 2024 at [[Medir's Tavern]] with a roaring crowd in attendance. Pitched as a celebration of curiosity, creativity, and community, highlights included performances by [[Vixonia]], [[Shaoimhe]] and [[Nilme]], a ''Sales Pitch'' contest inspired by the flavours of player-made drinks, and a raffle.<br />
<br />
==== '''The Prizes''' ====<br />
In addition to Kronar prizes for each Finder who participated in the ''Sales Pitch'' contest, the three finalists also took home a newly concocted, rare and exotic brew -- some [[Rathan pale ale]] -- rumoured to have rather ''inspirational'' qualities!<br />
<br />
==== '''The Gift''' ====<br />
Patrons all walked away from the event with a special shaker flask. This novel technology (still in a relatively experimental state) was designed with the preparation of mixed drinks on the go, though don't shake too hard or the cork might pop off! '''''Note: This is a roleplay tool for cocktail enthusiasts and not an actual drink mixing device. You can only have one drink in there at a time, and shaking it too often will cause the drink to spill out!'''''<br />

<br />
You ponder.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"I will say m'thoughts are very much wi'our missing friends -- Mikston and Navesi, as I'm sure many o'you know are wonderful drink-makers in their own rights. I'd ask that y'join us in a moment of silence to spare thoughts for those who are not with us right now."<br />

<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Your challenge... is to give a SALES PITCH to the audience about the wonders o'your selected tipple and why they should drink it. You will have about... ten rois to come up with your pitch, and a maximum of two rois to deliver it. The most convincing pitches will take the podium as finalists!"<br />
<br />
Gragnel asks, "Stand by the window for some fresh air maybe?"<br />
<br />

Vixonia lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />

'''(Shaoimhe steps up onto the footrest and quickly lifts her other foot to brace against the edge of the seat, tilting the stool until she is balanced upon it precariously. All the while the mugs arc into the air, and as she settles onto her perch she switches to a shower pattern, twirling a mug around one finger playfully with every few grabs before putting it back into motion.)'''<br />

'''(Shaoimhe lets the mugs fly in the air before her for a roisan longer before she snatches them from the air, her fingers hooking deftly into the handles. Three to each hand, she adjusts them to set more comfortably as she leans forward and grips the seat, shifting her feet together and keeping the stool as balanced as possible. Then moving with extreme care to keep the stool on two legs, she begins to lift herself upward.)'''<br />

"Bootlegger's Bourbon was born either from a vision sent from Glythtide himself, or waking up on the floor of The Golden Heron, staring one-eyed at the latest performance of The Halfling Hustle while feeling like I had for some reason head-butted a ram, still having the stale taste of Granny's #3 on my tongue.

Tactically acquire a few honey aging barrels and enough corn to make an initial run. This was very well received by the various barmaids...<br />

Tavern owners with whom I visit in my travels."<br />

<hr />
<div>Concocted as a lead-up to [[Medir's Drinkfest 450]], the search for the Golden Slips was devised by [[Medir]] as a quiet way to reward curiosity, tip a hat to adventurer drink-makers, and hint at the event to come. It would be a scavenger hunt of sorts, barely publicized, and reliant on a slow simmering of people in-the-know to uncover them!<br />
<br />
== 1. A Glimpse of Gold ==<br />
At some point in the year 450 AV, then, Medir scattered nine golden boxes around Kermoria -- in Zoluren, Ilithi, and Therengia. Each box, hidden where only a particularly soul mind might find it, contained a Golden Slip and one of a selection of adventurer-made drinks. Each Golden Slip was customized to the drink it was paired with. The following is a glimpse into one of the golden boxes:<blockquote>> look in box In the gold box you see a gold-edged ivory parchment and a bottle of deep garnet wine. <br />
<br />
> read parchment in box <br />
<br />
In Common, it reads:<br />
<br />
''Congratulations to you, most estimable and fortunate finder of this rare GOLDEN SLIP!'' <br />
<br />
''Wondrous things await! Surprises aplenty the very fates could not fathom. Indeed, your curiosity shall be amply rewarded. Oh, how the drinks will flow! Oh, how the coin shall drizzle down from the heavens like spendable rain. How the bards shall bellow your name!'' <br />
<br />
''Enclosed in this box you will find a special spirit fashioned by the charismatic Kaedan: a delicious bottle of Chateau Crystal Shore 378. I implore you to join me in a toast to your good health! Take a sip. Incredibly rich and robust, is it not? Fantastically flavoured, is it not?'' <br />
<br />
''Your instructions, dear friend -- for we are indeed the booziest of bosom friends now -- are to hold onto this GOLDEN SLIP. It is ONE of ONLY NINE hidden across Zoluren, Therengia, and Ilithi too. So keep it close! It is your portal. It is your admission. It is your very special and personal invitation to a happening the likes of which has never happened upon Elanthia!'' <br />
<br />
''When the time comes you will know what to do.'' <br />
<br />
''~ M.M.''</blockquote><br />

As the Golden Slips were slowly uncovered, Medir eventually came forward (~24 August 2024). The following is an excerpt from activities of that day:<br />
<br />
''The taverns of Kermoria never really change, and that’s no knock on them. You get what you expect. The same regulars, the same drinks, and the same barmaids seemingly destined never to lose their ageless charm. But if one happened to walk into the best of these fine drinking establishments today, they might chance upon something new. Something irregular. Something curiously out of place. There, upon the various bars (each different, each the same), propped upright and encased in a wooden frame, now rests a neatly written note scrawled upon a sheet of white parchment:''<br />
<br />
''My friends! I fear the jig is up. The cup has been spilled. I think I must now confess that it is I who put forth this particular test. Scattered throughout Elanthia -- hidden in Zoluren, Therengia and Shard -- have been nine golden boxes.'' <br />
<br />
''Six have been found! Three remain. And to those that have found them: your lives may never be the same. Reach out if you have, and I’ll tell you more. The rest of you (curious?) keep looking and you’ll see what’s in store.''<br />

<hr />
<div>==== '''The Event''' ====<br />
Drinkfest 450, presented by the [[Tavern Troupe]] and hosted by [[Medir al'Malik]], took place on Thursday, 12 September 2024 at [[Medir's Tavern]] with a roaring crowd in attendance. Pitched as a celebration of curiosity, creativity, and community, highlights included performances by [[Vixonia]], [[Shaoimhe]] and [[Nilme]], a ''Sales Pitch'' contest inspired by the flavours of player-made drinks, and a raffle.<br />
<br />
==== '''The Prizes''' ====<br />
In addition to Kronar prizes for each Finder who participated in the ''Sales Pitch'' contest, the three finalists also took home a newly concocted, rare and exotic brew -- some [[Rathan pale ale]] -- rumoured to have rather ''inspirational'' qualities!<br />
<br />
==== '''The Gift''' ====<br />
Patrons all walked away from the event with a special shaker flask. This novel technology (still in a relatively experimental state) was designed with the preparation of mixed drinks on the go, though don't shake too hard or the cork might pop off! '''''Note: This is a roleplay tool for cocktail enthusiasts and not an actual drink mixing device. You can only have one drink in there at a time, and shaking it too often will cause the drink to spill out!'''''<br />

=== Some Warm Welcomes ===<br />
Vixonia recites:<br />
<br />
"Hi Everyone! I am going to ask you all to join me outside to grab a gift and if you are not one of the lucky golden ticket holders... there is going to be a raffle! Sign up on the list out there!"<br />

<br />
Zersha says to Aetheline in Ilithic, "It's juice, I think."<br />
<br />
You say, "I should warn y'all -- the shaker flask is novel technology and a little quirky! Y'can shake it a little but if y'shake it a lot the cork is want t'pop out."<br />

<br />
Raising his scotch to you, Kethrai gives you a toast. Cheers!<br />

"I'm not countin'. The bar is OPEN tonight!"<br />
<br />
Vixonia says to Kentara, "I will drink to a lot..."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Right, so let me tell you how we're going to do that."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Not long ago -- in a fit a'mad, cunning genius -- I hid nine Golden Slips across Kermoria. Amongst us, we have the Finders o'these prized posessions."<br />
<br />
Kentara exclaims to Vixonia, "I will join on that adventure!"<br />
<br />
You strike a heroic pose.<br />
<br />
You ask, "Can I ask our Finders t'make themselves known?"<br />

<br />
Etasia says, "Upon request."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Finders, we celebrate you and your curiosity! Today, this pondrous posse, this curious crew, these fortunate few will fight for the chance t'win three very special prizes indeed. I trust you're up for the challenge?"<br />
<br />
Etasia says, "Well......."<br />
<br />
You say, "The answer is YES. You are."<br />
<br />
Etasia says, "They could nae be here."<br />
<br />
Vixonia is giggling at you.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"It is our job t'cheer them on and your most essential task to vote for y'favourite contestants when the time comes. I trust you're up for the challenge too."<br />
<br />
Kethrai asks, "If we raise our hands, are you actually checking for the golden slips...?"<br />
<br />
You say to Kethrai, "I am."<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Strictly!"<br />
<br />
You fold your arms across your chest.<br />
<br />
Etasia says, "Ahh."<br />
<br />

<br />
"Tonight, we also celebrate creativity. In our midst, we have some a'the finest drink-makers in all of Elanthia. You know who y'are."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "Just curious."<br />
<br />
Nevali waves a gold-edged ivory parchment around.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff says to you, "Good to see you, brother. quite a night tonight."<br />
<br />
You nod at Darkewolff, in complete agreement with his views.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Their creations outshine all that you might find at one of the many bars across this land. Today you'll hear a little about their concotions and the inspiration behind them, and perhaps your creative genius might too be sparked!"<br />
<br />
You waggle your fingers mystically.<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says to Kamisama, "I'm just a drink drinker."<br />
<br />
You say, "Yknow, just in time for HE."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "Some of them even outshine the moons, one might say."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Finally, we celebrate community. All of you. For comin' together at a time like this, f'supporting each other, and remembering those who aren't wi'us right now."<br />
<br />
Vaerek shakes his flask.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Because y'all are so great... at the end of the evening there will be a draw -- a raffle -- to add another winner to the mix! If y'haven't already done so I'd ask anyone who didn' find a Golden Slip add their name to th'list outside before the evening is up."<br />
<br />
You ponder.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"I will say m'thoughts are very much wi'our missing friends -- Mikston and Navesi, as I'm sure many o'you know are wonderful drink-makers in their own rights. I'd ask that y'join us in a moment of silence to spare thoughts for those who are not with us right now."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe gazes upward.<br />
<br />
Nawain inhales a great swallow of air.<br />
<br />
Nawain slowly empties her lungs.<br />
<br />

<br />
You recite:<br />

<br />
"Feel free to grab a drink from the picnic cloth or the refreshments cart if you don't have one already."<br />
<br />
Vixonia looks at you and lets out a hearty cheer on your behalf!<br />
<br />
Allye motions toward a darkly glimmering spun glitter picnic cloth.<br />
<br />
Avrenka says, "Didn't expect so many people."<br />
<br />
You grin at Avrenka.<br />
<br />
Allye recites:<br />
<br />
"A toast! A toast to the light moments we grasp onto in times of darkness! A toast to the unity that can be found in gathering together to enjoy one another's company, even when the world feels fraught and harrowing."<br />
<br />

<br />
Gragnel says, "If anyone starts to feel sick, please make your way to the door. It's a little tight quarters in here."<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "I've already been feeling sick... that's why I got my blindfold on..."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Your challenge... is to give a SALES PITCH to the audience about the wonders o'your selected tipple and why they should drink it. You will have about... ten rois to come up with your pitch, and a maximum of two rois to deliver it. The most convincing pitches will take the podium as finalists!"<br />
<br />
Gragnel asks, "Stand by the window for some fresh air maybe?"<br />
<br />
Nawain laughs!<br />
<br />
Vaerek asks Gragnel, "They did say your shoes were hard to fill. Maybe we can aim there?"<br />
<br />
Etasia says, "Ohh waits."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says to Messica, "And yet always possible. They should make an axiom about that..."<br />
<br />
Valynn says, "Oh, this should be fun."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Audience -- once all the pitches are heard, we will vote for the top three. So listen well wi'hearts, minds, and stomachs."<br />
<br />
Istercal says, "Can't take the whole sack, Nevali."<br />
<br />
Messica says to Kethrai, "Just be careful you don't end up duplicating gnomes if you rely on the axiom too strongly."<br />
<br />
Gragnel says to Vaerek, "Awww, not the shoes."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe grins at you.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
"And Finders -- worry not, f'this is all in fun. We know each a'these drinks are delicious, and I applaud you for even being here. Even if you don' make it to the final round, each of you will be leavin' tonight with a hefty purse simply for having uncovered a slip!"<br />

<br />

<br />

You exclaim, "Why not. Vote f'yourself!"<br />
<br />

<br />
Vixonia says to Nevali, "Two folks never contacted us."<br />
<br />
Kethrai asks, "Luck... or skill?"<br />
<br />
Stelling says, "No good time to slow down."<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "I have a doctorate's in bartering. I'd show it to you, but my doctor ate it."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "All my other knife jokes..."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "Jsut don't make the CUT."<br />

<br />
You gesture at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Aetheline lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />

<br />
Daerlynn says, "Well then, I know I am a minstrel, but I really wanted to become a Monk. Unfortunately I never got the chants."<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff smiles at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"I'm making a mental note t'do a dad joke contest in the future."<br />
<br />
Gragnel says to Daerlynn, "It takes a bit of practice, but it's not too rough."<br />
<br />
You let out a loud "Huzzah!" for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
(Istercal walks over to the fireplace, admiring the craftsmanship in the placement of riverstone.)<br />
<br />
Vixonia quietly exclaims to you, "I have a good one!"<br />
<br />
Nawain grins at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe braces her hands on either side of the stool and hoists herself upward, tucking her feet so that they brace onto the seat. Then she stands, balancing herself, and nods in satisfaction now that she can look more people in the eye.)<br />
<br />
Elore says to you, "I'm using a mental eraser to remove that note."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "I'd tell you my final knife joke."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe cheerfully says, "Hello!" She emphasizes her greeting with a pirouette upon the stool, flourishing her arms outward in welcome. "My name is Shaoimhe Bramblebairn, but you can just call me SheShe! I'm a Bard, and a tart enthusiast, and a tumbler, and, um, well...not much of a drinker."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "But you wouldn't see the POINT."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe quickly says, "But I've drank! I mean, I've had...um...something. It was tasty? And made me very warm."<br />
<br />
Stelling asks Shaoimhe, "Can't be perfect eh?"<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe exclaims, "But luckily my performance isn't based on my ability to drink - it's to encourage yours! Also it was meant to be done on a unicycle but..." She glances around at the crowded room. "I figured that probably wouldn't be the best choice tonight. So gather around and enjoy my little drinking song, with a twist!"<br />
<br />
You say, "A twist..."<br />
<br />
Kentara says to Stelling, "Come on now, you knew she was perfect when she said Bard."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe suddenly backflips off of the stool, twisting slightly in the air before landing steadily on her feet and flashing a wink. "Twist...get it?" She giggles and then disappears for a second, returning with an armful of pewter mugs.)<br />
<br />
You gasp!<br />
<br />
Avrenka says, "..nice."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe seriously says, "Don't worry, they're empty. There will be no alcohol abuse here tonight."<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "If i can say one thing before i run.... I would say this...Some ships are wooden and wooden ship sinks the best is friendships and to this we drink."<br />
<br />
Stelling says, "Oh good."<br />
<br />
Lushk exclaims to Seihjin, "I'm on the cutting edge of comedy!"<br />
<br />
Ophidian exclaims, "Thanks and so nice to see everyone!"<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Thanks f'coming!"<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Be well friends."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe positions herself in an easy stance, bouncing on the balls of her feet and talking quietly to herself. Then, with a steadying breath, she looks up with bright silver eyes and a cheeky expression. Her hands flip upward and the mugs are thrown into the air!)<br />
<br />
Vixonia lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe catches them one by one, flinging them upward as she does to get a simple cascade started. The mugs arc high into the air before falling gracefully back down to her nimble hands and she settles into the pattern.)<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Oh, here in Medir's Tavern there's so much fun to be had<br />
<br />
And the bouncers, they don't even care if you're good or if you're bad<br />
<br />
Just come on in and have a round and see what the night brings<br />
<br />
IYou could find love, perhaps a brawl, all while a cute Bard sings."<br />
<br />
Istercal lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
You say, "Y'can brawl, that's true. But maybe not tonight."<br />
<br />
You try hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Nevali asks, "Can I be a bouncer?"<br />
<br />
You nod to Nevali.<br />
<br />
Elore glances at Nevali.<br />
<br />
You say, "Hired."<br />
<br />
You point at Nevali.<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Now I am just a little thing, you see<br />
<br />
One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore."<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "How i get out."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "Why did the knife go to school? To get an edge-ucation."<br />
<br />
You open the door.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Ahh."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe steps up onto the footrest and quickly lifts her other foot to brace against the edge of the seat, tilting the stool until she is balanced upon it precariously. All the while the mugs arc into the air, and as she settles onto her perch she switches to a shower pattern, twirling a mug around one finger playfully with every few grabs before putting it back into motion.)<br />
<br />
Bryinn says, "Enough with the silly jokes."<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "But the serious jokes aren't as funny."<br />
<br />
You pat Bryinn on the back.<br />
<br />
Bryinn has accepted your offer and is now holding a generous dram of Chelsea Estate's Special Reserve scotch.<br />
<br />
You say, "That'll help them go down."<br />
<br />
Bryinn beams!<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"The finest drinks and food in town can be found right here in this bar<br />
<br />
And - let's be honest - it's where all the best people are<br />
<br />
It's cozy, it's gorgeous, I've heard that it's clean<br />
<br />
At least it's better than most of the taverns I've seen!"<br />
<br />
Istercal asks, "What's a serious joke?"<br />
<br />
Istercal chuckles.<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "You are."<br />
<br />
Nevali cackles!<br />
<br />
You ponder.<br />
<br />
Istercal laughs!<br />
<br />
Gragnel snorts, loudly.<br />
<br />
Istercal cackles!<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles a little oddly.<br />
<br />
You say, "Clean... ehhh..."<br />
<br />
Allye appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe lets the mugs fly in the air before her for a roisan longer before she snatches them from the air, her fingers hooking deftly into the handles. Three to each hand, she adjusts them to set more comfortably as she leans forward and grips the seat, shifting her feet together and keeping the stool as balanced as possible. Then moving with extreme care to keep the stool on two legs, she begins to lift herself upward.)<br />
<br />
Raising his Katamba-black whiskey to Shaoimhe, Vaerek gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
You gaze into Shaoimhe's eyes and applaud her heartily.<br />
<br />
Nilme gazes at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff looks at Shaoimhe and applauds!<br />
<br />
Zersha gawks at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Raising her bourbon to Shaoimhe, Valynn gives her a toast.<br />
<br />

<br />
"Now I am just a little thing, you see<br />
<br />
One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe's voice is strained as she continues. Bent at the waist to help her balance as long as she can, her arms still shake with the exertion and she glares at the stool as it follows suit. It seems as if she's stopped breathing as she successfully brings herself nearly upside-down.)<br />
<br />
You gasp at Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"And Medir himself is quite the Rakash to know, as if you couldn't tell<br />
<br />
He's creative and funny and I am quite sure there is nothing which he wouldn't excel<br />
<br />
Put it all together and you have quite the place, and for what more could we ask<br />
<br />
So now raise your tankard, or pint glass, or flask!"<br />
<br />
You fan yourself.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Whos puppy."<br />
<br />
Raising his gypsy misthaze to Shaoimhe, Stelling gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Its not letting me leave with out it."<br />
<br />
Ophidian ponders.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe finishes her handstand just as she finishes the verse, stool wobbling but still miraculously balanced. Her feet point proudly into the air and she beams triumphantly through the concentration on her face. Smart enough not to push her luck, she pushes herself rather quickly and forcefully, letting the stool clatter to the ground while she lands herself back upright, panting.)<br />
<br />
You grin at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Zersha lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Allye beams at Shaoimhe!<br />

One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore!"<br />
<br />
You just feel so pleased with yourself, you can't help letting out a hearty cheer.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe clacks the mugs still in her hands together, bowing.)<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe exclaims, "Now drink up!"<br />
<br />
Vixonia lets out a loud "Huzzah!" for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Ysindre lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
You point at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Now drink up!"<br />
<br />
Raising her scotch to Shaoimhe, Nilme gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
You applaud.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"That was wonderful!"<br />
<br />
Stelling says, "It is definitely the best tavern around, and was in need of a theme song."<br />
<br />

You recite:<br />
<br />
"I have your winners. Curious? I know y'are. But first I'd like to hear more from one of our esteemed drinkmakers. Kami? Would y'share a couple words?"<br />
<br />
Kamisama bows.<br />
<br />
You grin at Kamisama.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff throws his dart at a two-colored dartboard and...<br />

<br />

<br />
Gragnel winces.<br />
<br />
Allye giggles at Gragnel.<br />
<br />
Gragnel falls over.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"Bootlegger's Bourbon was born either from a vision sent from Glythtide himself, or waking up on the floor of The Golden Heron, staring one-eyed at the latest performance of The Halfling Hustle while feeling like I had for some reason head-butted a ram, still having the stale taste of Granny's #3 on my tongue. I fail to remember which."<br />
<br />
Darkewolff winks at Gragnel.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"It dawned on me at that point that the majority of corn consumed on Elanthia is wasted on the plate, rather than as a gateway to a more refined means of inebriation."<br />
<br />
You nod in agreement.<br />
<br />
Gragnel says to himself, "I knew I should have just stayed in the chair."<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"While running trails to calm Kalika's constant nagging, I began to take note of the vast number of farms not far off the trail, and used said trails to...<br />
<br />
Tactically acquire a few honey aging barrels and enough corn to make an initial run. This was very well received by the various barmaids...<br />
<br />
Err...<br />
<br />
Tavern owners with whom I visit in my travels."<br />
<br />
You try hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"The name Bootleggers Bourbon spawned from using those same ranger trails to bypass any official tariffs or border stops on my journey to share the occasional crate of bottles with various establishments in the provinces I visited while avoiding guild training."<br />
<br />
You nod.<br />
<br />
Nawain grins at Kamisama.<br />
<br />
Raising his gypsy misthaze to Kamisama, Stelling gives him a toast.<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Thank you!"<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<hr />
<div>Drinkfest 450, presented by the [[Tavern Troupe]] and hosted by [[Medir al'Malik]], took place on Thursday, 12 September 2024 at [[Medir's Tavern]] with a roaring crowd in attendance. Pitched as a celebration of curiosity, creativity, and community, highlights included performances by [[Vixonia]], [[Shaoimhe]] and [[Nilme]], a ''Sales Pitch'' contest inspired by the flavours of player-made drinks, and a raffle.<br />
<br />
==== '''The Prizes''' ====<br />
In addition to Kronar prizes for each Finder who participated in the ''Sales Pitch'' contest, the three finalists also took home a newly concocted, rare and exotic brew -- some [[Rathan pale ale]] -- rumoured to have rather ''inspirational'' qualities!<br />
<br />
==== '''The Gift''' ====<br />
Patrons all walked away from the event with a special shaker flask. This novel technology (still in a relatively experimental state) was designed with the preparation of mixed drinks on the go, though don't shake too hard or the cork might pop off! '''''Note: This is a roleplay tool for cocktail enthusiasts and not an actual drink mixing device.

<br />
Vixonia says to Kentara, "I will drink to a lot..."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Right, so let me tell you how we're going to do that."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Not long ago -- in a fit a'mad, cunning genius -- I hid nine Golden Slips across Kermoria. Amongst us, we have the Finders o'these prized posessions."<br />
<br />
Kentara exclaims to Vixonia, "I will join on that adventure!"<br />
<br />

<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Finders, we celebrate you and your curiosity! Today, this pondrous posse, this curious crew, these fortunate few will fight for the chance t'win three very special prizes indeed. I trust you're up for the challenge?"<br />
<br />

<br />
You say, "The answer is YES. You are."<br />
<br />

<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"It is our job t'cheer them on and your most essential task to vote for y'favourite contestants when the time comes. I trust you're up for the challenge too."<br />
<br />
Kethrai asks, "If we raise our hands, are you actually checking for the golden slips...?"<br />
<br />
You say to Kethrai, "I am."<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Strictly!"<br />
<br />
You fold your arms across your chest.<br />
<br />

<br />
"Tonight, we also celebrate creativity. In our midst, we have some a'the finest drink-makers in all of Elanthia. You know who y'are."<br />
<br />

<br />
Nevali waves a gold-edged ivory parchment around.<br />
<br />

<br />
You nod at Darkewolff, in complete agreement with his views.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Their creations outshine all that you might find at one of the many bars across this land. Today you'll hear a little about their concotions and the inspiration behind them, and perhaps your creative genius might too be sparked!"<br />
<br />
You waggle your fingers mystically.<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says to Kamisama, "I'm just a drink drinker."<br />
<br />
You say, "Yknow, just in time for HE."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "Some of them even outshine the moons, one might say."<br />
<br />

<br />
"Finally, we celebrate community. All of you. For comin' together at a time like this, f'supporting each other, and remembering those who aren't wi'us right now."<br />
<br />
Vaerek shakes his flask.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Because y'all are so great... at the end of the evening there will be a draw -- a raffle -- to add another winner to the mix! If y'haven't already done so I'd ask anyone who didn' find a Golden Slip add their name to th'list outside before the evening is up."<br />
<br />
You ponder.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"I will say m'thoughts are very much wi'our missing friends -- Mikston and Navesi, as I'm sure many o'you know are wonderful drink-makers in their own rights. I'd ask that y'join us in a moment of silence to spare thoughts for those who are not with us right now."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe gazes upward.<br />
<br />

<br />
Allye motions toward a darkly glimmering spun glitter picnic cloth.<br />
<br />
Avrenka says, "Didn't expect so many people."<br />
<br />
You grin at Avrenka.<br />
<br />
Allye recites:<br />
<br />
"A toast! A toast to the light moments we grasp onto in times of darkness! A toast to the unity that can be found in gathering together to enjoy one another's company, even when the world feels fraught and harrowing."<br />
<br />

You wave your gold sack around.<br />
<br />

<br />
"Finders! Today I set you this task: Inside this bag are a selection of the finest creations a'our esteemed drinkmakers, both here and absent. Each of you will draw a drink."<br />
<br />
You point at a large gold sack you have.<br />
<br />

<br />
Gragnel says, "If anyone starts to feel sick, please make your way to the door. It's a little tight quarters in here."<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "I've already been feeling sick... that's why I got my blindfold on..."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Your challenge... is to give a SALES PITCH to the audience about the wonders o'your selected tipple and why they should drink it. You will have about... ten rois to come up with your pitch, and a maximum of two rois to deliver it. The most convincing pitches will take the podium as finalists!"<br />
<br />
Gragnel asks, "Stand by the window for some fresh air maybe?"<br />
<br />
Nawain laughs!<br />
<br />
Vaerek asks Gragnel, "They did say your shoes were hard to fill. Maybe we can aim there?"<br />
<br />
Etasia says, "Ohh waits."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says to Messica, "And yet always possible. They should make an axiom about that..."<br />
<br />
Valynn says, "Oh, this should be fun."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Audience -- once all the pitches are heard, we will vote for the top three. So listen well wi'hearts, minds, and stomachs."<br />
<br />
Istercal says, "Can't take the whole sack, Nevali."<br />
<br />
Messica says to Kethrai, "Just be careful you don't end up duplicating gnomes if you rely on the axiom too strongly."<br />
<br />
Gragnel says to Vaerek, "Awww, not the shoes."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe grins at you.<br />
<br />
Zersha quietly says to Aetheline, "I'm not sure they can convince me anything is better than this juice box."<br />
<br />

<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"And Finders -- worry not, f'this is all in fun. We know each a'these drinks are delicious, and I applaud you for even being here. Even if you don' make it to the final round, each of you will be leavin' tonight with a hefty purse simply for having uncovered a slip!"<br />

Jundara snuggles up to Nevali.<br />

Allye lets out a hearty cheer for Nawain!<br />
<br />
Stelling lets out a hearty cheer for Nawain!<br />
<br />
(Nawain exhales and shakes out her hands, them fixes a broad, engaging smile on her face with only a bit of obvious effort.)<br />
<br />
Nawain holds a bottle of private reserve Ilithic apple brandy high into the air for all to see.<br />
<br />
Jundara warmly says to Nevali, "Yours was sooo good."<br />
<br />
Nawain animatedly says, "Imagine the perfect balance of elegance and comfort in a single sip. This Illithi apple brandy is a testament to craftsmanship, offering a drinking experience that is as smooth as silk on your palate."<br />
<br />
You lick your lips.<br />
<br />
Nawain discerningly says, "As soon as you bring a glass of this 12 year private reserve brandy to your lips, you're greeted by a warm, woody aroma that hints at something more the crisp, fresh scent of apples lingering underneath."<br />
<br />
Vixonia trills softly at Nawain.<br />
<br />
Katriwen gazes at Nawain.<br />
<br />
Nawain enthusiastically says, "The first taste of this ingenius creation is a sensual revelation: lightly sweet, with the unmistakable presence of apple, followed by gentle notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and oak."<br />
<br />
Nawain earnestly says, "Each sip is a journey, with layers of flavor unfolding in perfect harmony, leaving behind a pleasant warmth and the delicate memory of apple pastry."<br />
<br />
You beam!<br />
<br />
Nawain genuinely says, "Whether you're savoring it neat or using it to elevate a favorite cocktail, this apple brandy is the perfect companion for a relaxing evening or a special occasion."<br />
<br />
Nevali warbles out an airy whistle.<br />
<br />
You nod in agreement.<br />
<br />
Nawain triumphantly exclaims, "Discover the taste that brings a touch of warmth and sophistication to every moment. Cheers!"<br />
<br />
Nawain slowly empties her lungs.<br />
<br />
You let out a loud "Huzzah!" for Nawain!<br />

<br />

Levie recites:<br />
<br />
"This Celestial Compact cocktail is something special sweet cherry mixed with basil create aromatics that brings the earth s night air to life. Finished with a touch of anise as elusive as a shadow beneath the moon. The sugar rim sparkles like distant stars."<br />
<br />
Levie recites:<br />
<br />
"Its balanced, delicate, like walking through the forest at night. One taste, and youll be enchanted."<br />
<br />
You beam!<br />
<br />
Levie wrings her black cloak between her hands.<br />
<br />
Levie curtsies.<br />
<br />
Raising your scotch to Levie, you give her a toast. Cheers!<br />
<br />
Levie guzzles down some of her cocktail and then smacks her lips and wipes them with her sleeve.<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles.<br />
<br />
Levie quietly says, "The end."<br />
<br />
Nilme lets out a hearty cheer for Levie!<br />

<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Now the task turns to you, our audience, to place your votes. Please whisper your winner to Allye!"<br />
<br />
Lushk says, "Ooo."<br />
<br />
Istercal asks, "Can we vote for ourselves?"<br />
<br />
You ask, "Maaaybe?"<br />
<br />
You nod to Istercal.<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Why not. Vote f'yourself!"<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "I thought I had a good knife joke."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "But I guess i'll take a stab at it later."<br />
<br />
Valynn says to Zersha, "This bourbon goes to your head. Time to slow down."<br />
<br />
Jundara says to Nevali, "Good luck, babe."<br />
<br />
You say, "Not sure where th'last one went."<br />
<br />
Kentara says to Lushk, "No jokes about knives, too soon."<br />
<br />
Vixonia says to Nevali, "Two folks never contacted us."<br />
<br />
Kethrai asks, "Luck... or skill?"<br />
<br />
Stelling says, "No good time to slow down."<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "I have a doctorate's in bartering. I'd show it to you, but my doctor ate it."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "All my other knife jokes..."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "Jsut don't make the CUT."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />

Aetheline lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Zersha lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Daerlynn says, "Well then, I know I am a minstrel, but I really wanted to become a Monk. Unfortunately I never got the chants."<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff smiles at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"I'm making a mental note t'do a dad joke contest in the future."<br />
<br />
Gragnel says to Daerlynn, "It takes a bit of practice, but it's not too rough."<br />
<br />
You let out a loud "Huzzah!" for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
(Istercal walks over to the fireplace, admiring the craftsmanship in the placement of riverstone.)<br />
<br />
Vixonia quietly exclaims to you, "I have a good one!"<br />
<br />
Nawain grins at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe braces her hands on either side of the stool and hoists herself upward, tucking her feet so that they brace onto the seat. Then she stands, balancing herself, and nods in satisfaction now that she can look more people in the eye.)<br />
<br />
Elore says to you, "I'm using a mental eraser to remove that note."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "I'd tell you my final knife joke."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe cheerfully says, "Hello!" She emphasizes her greeting with a pirouette upon the stool, flourishing her arms outward in welcome. "My name is Shaoimhe Bramblebairn, but you can just call me SheShe! I'm a Bard, and a tart enthusiast, and a tumbler, and, um, well...not much of a drinker."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "But you wouldn't see the POINT."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe quickly says, "But I've drank! I mean, I've had...um...something. It was tasty? And made me very warm."<br />
<br />
Stelling asks Shaoimhe, "Can't be perfect eh?"<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe exclaims, "But luckily my performance isn't based on my ability to drink - it's to encourage yours! Also it was meant to be done on a unicycle but..." She glances around at the crowded room. "I figured that probably wouldn't be the best choice tonight. So gather around and enjoy my little drinking song, with a twist!"<br />
<br />
You say, "A twist..."<br />
<br />
Kentara says to Stelling, "Come on now, you knew she was perfect when she said Bard."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe suddenly backflips off of the stool, twisting slightly in the air before landing steadily on her feet and flashing a wink. "Twist...get it?" She giggles and then disappears for a second, returning with an armful of pewter mugs.)<br />
<br />
You gasp!<br />
<br />
Avrenka says, "..nice."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe seriously says, "Don't worry, they're empty. There will be no alcohol abuse here tonight."<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "If i can say one thing before i run.... I would say this...Some ships are wooden and wooden ship sinks the best is friendships and to this we drink."<br />
<br />
Stelling says, "Oh good."<br />
<br />
Lushk exclaims to Seihjin, "I'm on the cutting edge of comedy!"<br />
<br />
Ophidian exclaims, "Thanks and so nice to see everyone!"<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Thanks f'coming!"<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Be well friends."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe positions herself in an easy stance, bouncing on the balls of her feet and talking quietly to herself. Then, with a steadying breath, she looks up with bright silver eyes and a cheeky expression. Her hands flip upward and the mugs are thrown into the air!)<br />
<br />
Vixonia lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe catches them one by one, flinging them upward as she does to get a simple cascade started. The mugs arc high into the air before falling gracefully back down to her nimble hands and she settles into the pattern.)<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Oh, here in Medir's Tavern there's so much fun to be had<br />
<br />
And the bouncers, they don't even care if you're good or if you're bad<br />
<br />
Just come on in and have a round and see what the night brings<br />
<br />
IYou could find love, perhaps a brawl, all while a cute Bard sings."<br />
<br />
Istercal lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
You say, "Y'can brawl, that's true. But maybe not tonight."<br />
<br />
You try hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Nevali asks, "Can I be a bouncer?"<br />
<br />
You nod to Nevali.<br />
<br />
Elore glances at Nevali.<br />
<br />
You say, "Hired."<br />
<br />
You point at Nevali.<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Now I am just a little thing, you see<br />
<br />
One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore."<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "How i get out."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "Why did the knife go to school? To get an edge-ucation."<br />
<br />
You open the door.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Ahh."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe steps up onto the footrest and quickly lifts her other foot to brace against the edge of the seat, tilting the stool until she is balanced upon it precariously. All the while the mugs arc into the air, and as she settles onto her perch she switches to a shower pattern, twirling a mug around one finger playfully with every few grabs before putting it back into motion.)<br />
<br />
Bryinn says, "Enough with the silly jokes."<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "But the serious jokes aren't as funny."<br />
<br />
You pat Bryinn on the back.<br />
<br />
Bryinn has accepted your offer and is now holding a generous dram of Chelsea Estate's Special Reserve scotch.<br />
<br />
You say, "That'll help them go down."<br />
<br />
Bryinn beams!<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"The finest drinks and food in town can be found right here in this bar<br />
<br />
And - let's be honest - it's where all the best people are<br />
<br />
It's cozy, it's gorgeous, I've heard that it's clean<br />
<br />
At least it's better than most of the taverns I've seen!"<br />
<br />
Istercal asks, "What's a serious joke?"<br />
<br />
Istercal chuckles.<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "You are."<br />
<br />
Nevali cackles!<br />
<br />
You ponder.<br />
<br />
Istercal laughs!<br />
<br />
Gragnel snorts, loudly.<br />
<br />
Istercal cackles!<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles a little oddly.<br />
<br />
You say, "Clean... ehhh..."<br />
<br />
Allye appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe lets the mugs fly in the air before her for a roisan longer before she snatches them from the air, her fingers hooking deftly into the handles. Three to each hand, she adjusts them to set more comfortably as she leans forward and grips the seat, shifting her feet together and keeping the stool as balanced as possible. Then moving with extreme care to keep the stool on two legs, she begins to lift herself upward.)<br />
<br />
Raising his Katamba-black whiskey to Shaoimhe, Vaerek gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
You gaze into Shaoimhe's eyes and applaud her heartily.<br />
<br />
Nilme gazes at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff looks at Shaoimhe and applauds!<br />
<br />
Zersha gawks at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Raising her bourbon to Shaoimhe, Valynn gives her a toast.<br />
<br />

"Now I am just a little thing, you see<br />
<br />
One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe's voice is strained as she continues. Bent at the waist to help her balance as long as she can, her arms still shake with the exertion and she glares at the stool as it follows suit. It seems as if she's stopped breathing as she successfully brings herself nearly upside-down.)<br />
<br />
You gasp at Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"And Medir himself is quite the Rakash to know, as if you couldn't tell<br />
<br />
He's creative and funny and I am quite sure there is nothing which he wouldn't excel<br />
<br />
Put it all together and you have quite the place, and for what more could we ask<br />
<br />
So now raise your tankard, or pint glass, or flask!"<br />
<br />
You fan yourself.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Whos puppy."<br />
<br />
Raising his gypsy misthaze to Shaoimhe, Stelling gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Its not letting me leave with out it."<br />
<br />
Ophidian ponders.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe finishes her handstand just as she finishes the verse, stool wobbling but still miraculously balanced. Her feet point proudly into the air and she beams triumphantly through the concentration on her face. Smart enough not to push her luck, she pushes herself rather quickly and forcefully, letting the stool clatter to the ground while she lands herself back upright, panting.)<br />
<br />
You grin at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Zersha lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Allye beams at Shaoimhe!<br />

<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore!"<br />
<br />
You just feel so pleased with yourself, you can't help letting out a hearty cheer.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe clacks the mugs still in her hands together, bowing.)<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe exclaims, "Now drink up!"<br />
<br />
Vixonia lets out a loud "Huzzah!" for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Ysindre lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />

<br />
You applaud.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"That was wonderful!"<br />
<br />
Stelling says, "It is definitely the best tavern around, and was in need of a theme song."<br />
<br />

"I have your winners. Curious? I know y'are. But first I'd like to hear more from one of our esteemed drinkmakers. Kami? Would y'share a couple words?"<br />
<br />
Kamisama bows.<br />
<br />
You grin at Kamisama.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff throws his dart at a two-colored dartboard and...<br />

Gragnel winces.<br />
<br />
Allye giggles at Gragnel.<br />
<br />
Gragnel falls over.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"Bootlegger's Bourbon was born either from a vision sent from Glythtide himself, or waking up on the floor of The Golden Heron, staring one-eyed at the latest performance of The Halfling Hustle while feeling like I had for some reason head-butted a ram, still having the stale taste of Granny's #3 on my tongue. I fail to remember which."<br />
<br />
Darkewolff winks at Gragnel.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"It dawned on me at that point that the majority of corn consumed on Elanthia is wasted on the plate, rather than as a gateway to a more refined means of inebriation."<br />
<br />
You nod in agreement.<br />
<br />
Gragnel says to himself, "I knew I should have just stayed in the chair."<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"While running trails to calm Kalika's constant nagging, I began to take note of the vast number of farms not far off the trail, and used said trails to...<br />
<br />
Tactically acquire a few honey aging barrels and enough corn to make an initial run. This was very well received by the various barmaids...<br />
<br />
Err...<br />
<br />
Tavern owners with whom I visit in my travels."<br />
<br />
You try hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"The name Bootleggers Bourbon spawned from using those same ranger trails to bypass any official tariffs or border stops on my journey to share the occasional crate of bottles with various establishments in the provinces I visited while avoiding guild training."<br />
<br />
You nod.<br />
<br />
Nawain grins at Kamisama.<br />
<br />
Raising his gypsy misthaze to Kamisama, Stelling gives him a toast.<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Thank you!"<br />
<br />
Vaerek says, "I'm in favor of this Bootleggers Bourbon."<br />

Nine out of ten Empaths agree that hot cocoa can cure many symptoms of seasonal depression, including, but not limited to: Ear mites, nose mites, beard mites, horse mites, constipation, death, executive dysfunction, middle-management dysfunction, lack of pizazz, lack of cute girlfriends or boyfriends, lack of hot cocoa, the urge to dance to the hit song "Everyone's Got Them Mites These Days (Mine Are In My Pants)", cold feet, sweaty feet from dancing, stinky feet from the sweaty feet from dancing, and a failure to actualize your life goals. We hunted down the tenth empath and forced this brand of cocoa down his throat until he agreed that the above statement was correct. Hot cocoa - it's a ten-out-of-ten! Hot cocoa - it's the cocoa you know-oh!"<br />
<br />

<br />
Stelling lets out a hearty cheer for Nawain!<br />
<br />
(Nawain exhales and shakes out her hands, them fixes a broad, engaging smile on her face with only a bit of obvious effort.)<br />
<br />
Nawain holds a bottle of private reserve Ilithic apple brandy high into the air for all to see.<br />
<br />
Jundara warmly says to Nevali, "Yours was sooo good."<br />
<br />
Nawain animatedly says, "Imagine the perfect balance of elegance and comfort in a single sip. This Illithi apple brandy is a testament to craftsmanship, offering a drinking experience that is as smooth as silk on your palate."<br />
<br />
You lick your lips.<br />
<br />
Nawain discerningly says, "As soon as you bring a glass of this 12 year private reserve brandy to your lips, you're greeted by a warm, woody aroma that hints at something more the crisp, fresh scent of apples lingering underneath."<br />
<br />
Vixonia trills softly at Nawain.<br />
<br />
Katriwen gazes at Nawain.<br />
<br />
Nawain enthusiastically says, "The first taste of this ingenius creation is a sensual revelation: lightly sweet, with the unmistakable presence of apple, followed by gentle notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and oak."<br />
<br />
Nawain earnestly says, "Each sip is a journey, with layers of flavor unfolding in perfect harmony, leaving behind a pleasant warmth and the delicate memory of apple pastry."<br />
<br />
You beam!<br />
<br />
Nawain genuinely says, "Whether you're savoring it neat or using it to elevate a favorite cocktail, this apple brandy is the perfect companion for a relaxing evening or a special occasion."<br />

You recite:<br />
<br />
"Now the task turns to you, our audience, to place your votes. Please whisper your winner to Allye!"<br />
<br />
Lushk says, "Ooo."<br />
<br />
Istercal asks, "Can we vote for ourselves?"<br />
<br />
You ask, "Maaaybe?"<br />
<br />
You nod to Istercal.<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Why not. Vote f'yourself!"<br />
<br />

<br />
Valynn says to Zersha, "This bourbon goes to your head. Time to slow down."<br />
<br />

You say, "Not sure where th'last one went."<br />
<br />
Kentara says to Lushk, "No jokes about knives, too soon."<br />
<br />
Vixonia says to Nevali, "Two folks never contacted us."<br />
<br />
Kethrai asks, "Luck... or skill?"<br />
<br />
Stelling says, "No good time to slow down."<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "I have a doctorate's in bartering. I'd show it to you, but my doctor ate it."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "All my other knife jokes..."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "Jsut don't make the CUT."<br />

You recite:<br />
<br />

You gesture at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Aetheline lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />

<br />
Daerlynn says, "Well then, I know I am a minstrel, but I really wanted to become a Monk. Unfortunately I never got the chants."<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff smiles at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"I'm making a mental note t'do a dad joke contest in the future."<br />
<br />
Gragnel says to Daerlynn, "It takes a bit of practice, but it's not too rough."<br />
<br />
You let out a loud "Huzzah!" for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
(Istercal walks over to the fireplace, admiring the craftsmanship in the placement of riverstone.)<br />
<br />
Vixonia quietly exclaims to you, "I have a good one!"<br />
<br />
Nawain grins at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe braces her hands on either side of the stool and hoists herself upward, tucking her feet so that they brace onto the seat. Then she stands, balancing herself, and nods in satisfaction now that she can look more people in the eye.)<br />
<br />
Elore says to you, "I'm using a mental eraser to remove that note."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "I'd tell you my final knife joke."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe cheerfully says, "Hello!" She emphasizes her greeting with a pirouette upon the stool, flourishing her arms outward in welcome. "My name is Shaoimhe Bramblebairn, but you can just call me SheShe! I'm a Bard, and a tart enthusiast, and a tumbler, and, um, well...not much of a drinker."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "But you wouldn't see the POINT."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe quickly says, "But I've drank! I mean, I've had...um...something. It was tasty? And made me very warm."<br />
<br />
Stelling asks Shaoimhe, "Can't be perfect eh?"<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe exclaims, "But luckily my performance isn't based on my ability to drink - it's to encourage yours! Also it was meant to be done on a unicycle but..." She glances around at the crowded room. "I figured that probably wouldn't be the best choice tonight. So gather around and enjoy my little drinking song, with a twist!"<br />
<br />
You say, "A twist..."<br />
<br />
Kentara says to Stelling, "Come on now, you knew she was perfect when she said Bard."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe suddenly backflips off of the stool, twisting slightly in the air before landing steadily on her feet and flashing a wink. "Twist...get it?" She giggles and then disappears for a second, returning with an armful of pewter mugs.)<br />
<br />
You gasp!<br />
<br />
Avrenka says, "..nice."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe seriously says, "Don't worry, they're empty. There will be no alcohol abuse here tonight."<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "If i can say one thing before i run.... I would say this...Some ships are wooden and wooden ship sinks the best is friendships and to this we drink."<br />
<br />
Stelling says, "Oh good."<br />
<br />
Lushk exclaims to Seihjin, "I'm on the cutting edge of comedy!"<br />
<br />
Ophidian exclaims, "Thanks and so nice to see everyone!"<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Thanks f'coming!"<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Be well friends."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe positions herself in an easy stance, bouncing on the balls of her feet and talking quietly to herself. Then, with a steadying breath, she looks up with bright silver eyes and a cheeky expression. Her hands flip upward and the mugs are thrown into the air!)<br />
<br />
Vixonia lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe catches them one by one, flinging them upward as she does to get a simple cascade started. The mugs arc high into the air before falling gracefully back down to her nimble hands and she settles into the pattern.)<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Oh, here in Medir's Tavern there's so much fun to be had<br />
<br />
And the bouncers, they don't even care if you're good or if you're bad<br />
<br />
Just come on in and have a round and see what the night brings<br />
<br />
IYou could find love, perhaps a brawl, all while a cute Bard sings."<br />
<br />
Istercal lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
You say, "Y'can brawl, that's true. But maybe not tonight."<br />
<br />
You try hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Nevali asks, "Can I be a bouncer?"<br />
<br />
You nod to Nevali.<br />
<br />
Elore glances at Nevali.<br />
<br />
You say, "Hired."<br />
<br />
You point at Nevali.<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Now I am just a little thing, you see<br />
<br />
One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore."<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "How i get out."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "Why did the knife go to school? To get an edge-ucation."<br />
<br />
You open the door.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Ahh."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe steps up onto the footrest and quickly lifts her other foot to brace against the edge of the seat, tilting the stool until she is balanced upon it precariously. All the while the mugs arc into the air, and as she settles onto her perch she switches to a shower pattern, twirling a mug around one finger playfully with every few grabs before putting it back into motion.)<br />
<br />
Bryinn says, "Enough with the silly jokes."<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "But the serious jokes aren't as funny."<br />
<br />
You pat Bryinn on the back.<br />
<br />
Bryinn has accepted your offer and is now holding a generous dram of Chelsea Estate's Special Reserve scotch.<br />
<br />
You say, "That'll help them go down."<br />
<br />
Bryinn beams!<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"The finest drinks and food in town can be found right here in this bar<br />
<br />
And - let's be honest - it's where all the best people are<br />
<br />
It's cozy, it's gorgeous, I've heard that it's clean<br />
<br />
At least it's better than most of the taverns I've seen!"<br />
<br />
Istercal asks, "What's a serious joke?"<br />
<br />
Istercal chuckles.<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "You are."<br />
<br />
Nevali cackles!<br />
<br />
You ponder.<br />
<br />
Istercal laughs!<br />
<br />
Gragnel snorts, loudly.<br />
<br />
Istercal cackles!<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles a little oddly.<br />
<br />
You say, "Clean... ehhh..."<br />
<br />
Allye appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe lets the mugs fly in the air before her for a roisan longer before she snatches them from the air, her fingers hooking deftly into the handles. Three to each hand, she adjusts them to set more comfortably as she leans forward and grips the seat, shifting her feet together and keeping the stool as balanced as possible. Then moving with extreme care to keep the stool on two legs, she begins to lift herself upward.)<br />
<br />
Raising his Katamba-black whiskey to Shaoimhe, Vaerek gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
You gaze into Shaoimhe's eyes and applaud her heartily.<br />
<br />
Nilme gazes at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff looks at Shaoimhe and applauds!<br />
<br />
Zersha gawks at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Raising her bourbon to Shaoimhe, Valynn gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Now I am just a little thing, you see<br />
<br />
One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe's voice is strained as she continues. Bent at the waist to help her balance as long as she can, her arms still shake with the exertion and she glares at the stool as it follows suit. It seems as if she's stopped breathing as she successfully brings herself nearly upside-down.)<br />
<br />
You gasp at Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"And Medir himself is quite the Rakash to know, as if you couldn't tell<br />
<br />
He's creative and funny and I am quite sure there is nothing which he wouldn't excel<br />
<br />
Put it all together and you have quite the place, and for what more could we ask<br />
<br />
So now raise your tankard, or pint glass, or flask!"<br />
<br />
You fan yourself.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Whos puppy."<br />
<br />
Raising his gypsy misthaze to Shaoimhe, Stelling gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Its not letting me leave with out it."<br />
<br />
Ophidian ponders.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe finishes her handstand just as she finishes the verse, stool wobbling but still miraculously balanced. Her feet point proudly into the air and she beams triumphantly through the concentration on her face. Smart enough not to push her luck, she pushes herself rather quickly and forcefully, letting the stool clatter to the ground while she lands herself back upright, panting.)<br />
<br />
You grin at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Zersha lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Allye beams at Shaoimhe!<br />

One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore!"<br />
<br />
You just feel so pleased with yourself, you can't help letting out a hearty cheer.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe clacks the mugs still in her hands together, bowing.)<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe exclaims, "Now drink up!"<br />
<br />
Vixonia lets out a loud "Huzzah!" for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Ysindre lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
You point at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Now drink up!"<br />
<br />
Raising her scotch to Shaoimhe, Nilme gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
You applaud.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"That was wonderful!"<br />
<br />
Stelling says, "It is definitely the best tavern around, and was in need of a theme song."<br />
<br />

You recite:<br />
<br />
"I have your winners. Curious? I know y'are. But first I'd like to hear more from one of our esteemed drinkmakers. Kami? Would y'share a couple words?"<br />
<br />
Kamisama bows.<br />
<br />
You grin at Kamisama.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff throws his dart at a two-colored dartboard and...<br />
<br />
He hits a *double BULLSEYE*!<br />
<br />
Aetheline looks at Kamisama and applauds!<br />
<br />
Raising his Bootlegger's bourbon to you, Kamisama gives you a toast. Cheers!<br />

He hits a *double BULLSEYE*!<br />
<br />
Gragnel winces.<br />
<br />
Allye giggles at Gragnel.<br />
<br />
Gragnel falls over.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"Bootlegger's Bourbon was born either from a vision sent from Glythtide himself, or waking up on the floor of The Golden Heron, staring one-eyed at the latest performance of The Halfling Hustle while feeling like I had for some reason head-butted a ram, still having the stale taste of Granny's #3 on my tongue. I fail to remember which."<br />
<br />
Darkewolff winks at Gragnel.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"It dawned on me at that point that the majority of corn consumed on Elanthia is wasted on the plate, rather than as a gateway to a more refined means of inebriation."<br />
<br />
You nod in agreement.<br />
<br />
Gragnel says to himself, "I knew I should have just stayed in the chair."<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"While running trails to calm Kalika's constant nagging, I began to take note of the vast number of farms not far off the trail, and used said trails to...<br />
<br />
Tactically acquire a few honey aging barrels and enough corn to make an initial run. This was very well received by the various barmaids...<br />
<br />
Err...<br />
<br />
Tavern owners with whom I visit in my travels."<br />
<br />
You try hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"The name Bootleggers Bourbon spawned from using those same ranger trails to bypass any official tariffs or border stops on my journey to share the occasional crate of bottles with various establishments in the provinces I visited while avoiding guild training."<br />
<br />
You nod.<br />
<br />
Nawain grins at Kamisama.<br />
<br />
Raising his gypsy misthaze to Kamisama, Stelling gives him a toast.<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Thank you!"<br />
<br />
Vaerek says, "I'm in favor of this Bootleggers Bourbon."<br />
<br />
Daerlynn looks at Kamisama and applauds!<br />
<br />
Vixonia says to Shaylynne, "Tavern owners.. mmmhmm."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />

Nine out of ten Empaths agree that hot cocoa can cure many symptoms of seasonal depression, including, but not limited to: Ear mites, nose mites, beard mites, horse mites, constipation, death, executive dysfunction, middle-management dysfunction, lack of pizazz, lack of cute girlfriends or boyfriends, lack of hot cocoa, the urge to dance to the hit song "Everyone's Got Them Mites These Days (Mine Are In My Pants)", cold feet, sweaty feet from dancing, stinky feet from the sweaty feet from dancing, and a failure to actualize your life goals. We hunted down the tenth empath and forced this brand of cocoa down his throat until he agreed that the above statement was correct. Hot cocoa - it's a ten-out-of-ten! Hot cocoa - it's the cocoa you know-oh!"<br />

<br />
Nawain holds a bottle of private reserve Ilithic apple brandy high into the air for all to see.<br />
<br />

<br />
Nawain animatedly says, "Imagine the perfect balance of elegance and comfort in a single sip. This Illithi apple brandy is a testament to craftsmanship, offering a drinking experience that is as smooth as silk on your palate."<br />
<br />
You lick your lips.<br />
<br />
Nawain discerningly says, "As soon as you bring a glass of this 12 year private reserve brandy to your lips, you're greeted by a warm, woody aroma that hints at something more the crisp, fresh scent of apples lingering underneath."<br />
<br />
Vixonia trills softly at Nawain.<br />
<br />
Katriwen gazes at Nawain.<br />
<br />
Nawain enthusiastically says, "The first taste of this ingenius creation is a sensual revelation: lightly sweet, with the unmistakable presence of apple, followed by gentle notes of vanilla, cinnamon, and oak."<br />
<br />
Nawain earnestly says, "Each sip is a journey, with layers of flavor unfolding in perfect harmony, leaving behind a pleasant warmth and the delicate memory of apple pastry."<br />
<br />
You beam!<br />
<br />
Nawain genuinely says, "Whether you're savoring it neat or using it to elevate a favorite cocktail, this apple brandy is the perfect companion for a relaxing evening or a special occasion."<br />

<br />
"Now the task turns to you, our audience, to place your votes. Please whisper your winner to Allye!"<br />
<br />
Lushk says, "Ooo."<br />
<br />
Istercal asks, "Can we vote for ourselves?"<br />
<br />
You ask, "Maaaybe?"<br />
<br />

<br />
Vixonia giggles at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff smiles at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"I'm making a mental note t'do a dad joke contest in the future."<br />
<br />
Gragnel says to Daerlynn, "It takes a bit of practice, but it's not too rough."<br />
<br />
You let out a loud "Huzzah!" for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
(Istercal walks over to the fireplace, admiring the craftsmanship in the placement of riverstone.)<br />
<br />
Vixonia quietly exclaims to you, "I have a good one!"<br />
<br />
Nawain grins at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe braces her hands on either side of the stool and hoists herself upward, tucking her feet so that they brace onto the seat. Then she stands, balancing herself, and nods in satisfaction now that she can look more people in the eye.)<br />
<br />
Elore says to you, "I'm using a mental eraser to remove that note."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "I'd tell you my final knife joke."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe cheerfully says, "Hello!" She emphasizes her greeting with a pirouette upon the stool, flourishing her arms outward in welcome. "My name is Shaoimhe Bramblebairn, but you can just call me SheShe! I'm a Bard, and a tart enthusiast, and a tumbler, and, um, well...not much of a drinker."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "But you wouldn't see the POINT."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe quickly says, "But I've drank! I mean, I've had...um...something. It was tasty? And made me very warm."<br />
<br />
Stelling asks Shaoimhe, "Can't be perfect eh?"<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe exclaims, "But luckily my performance isn't based on my ability to drink - it's to encourage yours! Also it was meant to be done on a unicycle but..." She glances around at the crowded room. "I figured that probably wouldn't be the best choice tonight. So gather around and enjoy my little drinking song, with a twist!"<br />
<br />
You say, "A twist..."<br />
<br />
Kentara says to Stelling, "Come on now, you knew she was perfect when she said Bard."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe suddenly backflips off of the stool, twisting slightly in the air before landing steadily on her feet and flashing a wink. "Twist...get it?" She giggles and then disappears for a second, returning with an armful of pewter mugs.)<br />
<br />
You gasp!<br />
<br />
Avrenka says, "..nice."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe seriously says, "Don't worry, they're empty. There will be no alcohol abuse here tonight."<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "If i can say one thing before i run.... I would say this...Some ships are wooden and wooden ship sinks the best is friendships and to this we drink."<br />
<br />

<br />
Lushk exclaims to Seihjin, "I'm on the cutting edge of comedy!"<br />
<br />
Ophidian exclaims, "Thanks and so nice to see everyone!"<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Thanks f'coming!"<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Be well friends."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe positions herself in an easy stance, bouncing on the balls of her feet and talking quietly to herself. Then, with a steadying breath, she looks up with bright silver eyes and a cheeky expression. Her hands flip upward and the mugs are thrown into the air!)<br />
<br />
Vixonia lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe catches them one by one, flinging them upward as she does to get a simple cascade started. The mugs arc high into the air before falling gracefully back down to her nimble hands and she settles into the pattern.)<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Oh, here in Medir's Tavern there's so much fun to be had<br />
<br />
And the bouncers, they don't even care if you're good or if you're bad<br />
<br />
Just come on in and have a round and see what the night brings<br />
<br />
IYou could find love, perhaps a brawl, all while a cute Bard sings."<br />
<br />
Istercal lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
You say, "Y'can brawl, that's true. But maybe not tonight."<br />
<br />
You try hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Nevali asks, "Can I be a bouncer?"<br />
<br />
You nod to Nevali.<br />
<br />
Elore glances at Nevali.<br />
<br />
You say, "Hired."<br />
<br />
You point at Nevali.<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Now I am just a little thing, you see<br />
<br />
One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore."<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "How i get out."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "Why did the knife go to school? To get an edge-ucation."<br />
<br />
You open the door.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Ahh."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe steps up onto the footrest and quickly lifts her other foot to brace against the edge of the seat, tilting the stool until she is balanced upon it precariously. All the while the mugs arc into the air, and as she settles onto her perch she switches to a shower pattern, twirling a mug around one finger playfully with every few grabs before putting it back into motion.)<br />
<br />
Bryinn says, "Enough with the silly jokes."<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "But the serious jokes aren't as funny."<br />
<br />
You pat Bryinn on the back.<br />
<br />
Bryinn has accepted your offer and is now holding a generous dram of Chelsea Estate's Special Reserve scotch.<br />
<br />
You say, "That'll help them go down."<br />
<br />
Bryinn beams!<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"The finest drinks and food in town can be found right here in this bar<br />
<br />
And - let's be honest - it's where all the best people are<br />
<br />
It's cozy, it's gorgeous, I've heard that it's clean<br />
<br />
At least it's better than most of the taverns I've seen!"<br />
<br />
Istercal asks, "What's a serious joke?"<br />
<br />
Istercal chuckles.<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "You are."<br />
<br />
Nevali cackles!<br />
<br />
You ponder.<br />
<br />
Istercal laughs!<br />
<br />
Gragnel snorts, loudly.<br />
<br />
Istercal cackles!<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles a little oddly.<br />
<br />
You say, "Clean... ehhh..."<br />
<br />
Allye appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe lets the mugs fly in the air before her for a roisan longer before she snatches them from the air, her fingers hooking deftly into the handles. Three to each hand, she adjusts them to set more comfortably as she leans forward and grips the seat, shifting her feet together and keeping the stool as balanced as possible. Then moving with extreme care to keep the stool on two legs, she begins to lift herself upward.)<br />
<br />
Raising his Katamba-black whiskey to Shaoimhe, Vaerek gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
You gaze into Shaoimhe's eyes and applaud her heartily.<br />
<br />
Nilme gazes at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff looks at Shaoimhe and applauds!<br />
<br />
Zersha gawks at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Raising her bourbon to Shaoimhe, Valynn gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Now I am just a little thing, you see<br />
<br />
One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe's voice is strained as she continues. Bent at the waist to help her balance as long as she can, her arms still shake with the exertion and she glares at the stool as it follows suit. It seems as if she's stopped breathing as she successfully brings herself nearly upside-down.)<br />
<br />
You gasp at Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"And Medir himself is quite the Rakash to know, as if you couldn't tell<br />
<br />
He's creative and funny and I am quite sure there is nothing which he wouldn't excel<br />
<br />

<br />
Ophidian ponders.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe finishes her handstand just as she finishes the verse, stool wobbling but still miraculously balanced. Her feet point proudly into the air and she beams triumphantly through the concentration on her face. Smart enough not to push her luck, she pushes herself rather quickly and forcefully, letting the stool clatter to the ground while she lands herself back upright, panting.)<br />

One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore!"<br />
<br />
You just feel so pleased with yourself, you can't help letting out a hearty cheer.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe clacks the mugs still in her hands together, bowing.)<br />

<br />
Allye giggles at Gragnel.<br />
<br />
Gragnel falls over.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"Bootlegger's Bourbon was born either from a vision sent from Glythtide himself, or waking up on the floor of The Golden Heron, staring one-eyed at the latest performance of The Halfling Hustle while feeling like I had for some reason head-butted a ram, still having the stale taste of Granny's #3 on my tongue. I fail to remember which."<br />
<br />

<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />

<br />
"While running trails to calm Kalika's constant nagging, I began to take note of the vast number of farms not far off the trail, and used said trails to...<br />
<br />
Tactically acquire a few honey aging barrels and enough corn to make an initial run. This was very well received by the various barmaids...<br />
<br />
Err...<br />
<br />
Tavern owners with whom I visit in my travels."<br />
<br />
You try hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"The name Bootleggers Bourbon spawned from using those same ranger trails to bypass any official tariffs or border stops on my journey to share the occasional crate of bottles with various establishments in the provinces I visited while avoiding guild training."<br />
<br />
You nod.<br />
<br />

You ponder.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />

<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "But you wouldn't see the POINT."<br />
<br />

<br />
Stelling asks Shaoimhe, "Can't be perfect eh?"<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe exclaims, "But luckily my performance isn't based on my ability to drink - it's to encourage yours! Also it was meant to be done on a unicycle but..." She glances around at the crowded room. "I figured that probably wouldn't be the best choice tonight. So gather around and enjoy my little drinking song, with a twist!"<br />
<br />
You say, "A twist..."<br />
<br />
Kentara says to Stelling, "Come on now, you knew she was perfect when she said Bard."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe suddenly backflips off of the stool, twisting slightly in the air before landing steadily on her feet and flashing a wink. "Twist...get it?" She giggles and then disappears for a second, returning with an armful of pewter mugs.)<br />
<br />

<br />
(Shaoimhe positions herself in an easy stance, bouncing on the balls of her feet and talking quietly to herself. Then, with a steadying breath, she looks up with bright silver eyes and a cheeky expression. Her hands flip upward and the mugs are thrown into the air!)<br />
<br />
Vixonia lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe catches them one by one, flinging them upward as she does to get a simple cascade started. The mugs arc high into the air before falling gracefully back down to her nimble hands and she settles into the pattern.)<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Oh, here in Medir's Tavern there's so much fun to be had<br />
<br />
And the bouncers, they don't even care if you're good or if you're bad<br />
<br />
Just come on in and have a round and see what the night brings<br />
<br />
IYou could find love, perhaps a brawl, all while a cute Bard sings."<br />

<br />

<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Now I am just a little thing, you see<br />
<br />
One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore."<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "How i get out."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "Why did the knife go to school? To get an edge-ucation."<br />
<br />
You open the door.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Ahh."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe steps up onto the footrest and quickly lifts her other foot to brace against the edge of the seat, tilting the stool until she is balanced upon it precariously. All the while the mugs arc into the air, and as she settles onto her perch she switches to a shower pattern, twirling a mug around one finger playfully with every few grabs before putting it back into motion.)<br />
<br />
Bryinn says, "Enough with the silly jokes."<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "But the serious jokes aren't as funny."<br />
<br />
You pat Bryinn on the back.<br />
<br />
Bryinn has accepted your offer and is now holding a generous dram of Chelsea Estate's Special Reserve scotch.<br />
<br />
You say, "That'll help them go down."<br />
<br />
Bryinn beams!<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"The finest drinks and food in town can be found right here in this bar<br />
<br />
And - let's be honest - it's where all the best people are<br />
<br />
It's cozy, it's gorgeous, I've heard that it's clean<br />
<br />
At least it's better than most of the taverns I've seen!"<br />
<br />
Istercal asks, "What's a serious joke?"<br />
<br />
Istercal chuckles.<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "You are."<br />
<br />
Nevali cackles!<br />
<br />
You ponder.<br />
<br />
Istercal laughs!<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Vixonia giggles a little oddly.<br />
<br />
You say, "Clean... ehhh..."<br />
<br />
Allye appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe lets the mugs fly in the air before her for a roisan longer before she snatches them from the air, her fingers hooking deftly into the handles. Three to each hand, she adjusts them to set more comfortably as she leans forward and grips the seat, shifting her feet together and keeping the stool as balanced as possible. Then moving with extreme care to keep the stool on two legs, she begins to lift herself upward.)<br />
<br />
Raising his Katamba-black whiskey to Shaoimhe, Vaerek gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
You gaze into Shaoimhe's eyes and applaud her heartily.<br />

<br />
One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe's voice is strained as she continues. Bent at the waist to help her balance as long as she can, her arms still shake with the exertion and she glares at the stool as it follows suit. It seems as if she's stopped breathing as she successfully brings herself nearly upside-down.)<br />
<br />
You gasp at Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"And Medir himself is quite the Rakash to know, as if you couldn't tell<br />
<br />
He's creative and funny and I am quite sure there is nothing which he wouldn't excel<br />
<br />
Put it all together and you have quite the place, and for what more could we ask<br />
<br />
So now raise your tankard, or pint glass, or flask!"<br />
<br />
You fan yourself.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Whos puppy."<br />
<br />
Raising his gypsy misthaze to Shaoimhe, Stelling gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Its not letting me leave with out it."<br />
<br />
Ophidian ponders.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe finishes her handstand just as she finishes the verse, stool wobbling but still miraculously balanced. Her feet point proudly into the air and she beams triumphantly through the concentration on her face. Smart enough not to push her luck, she pushes herself rather quickly and forcefully, letting the stool clatter to the ground while she lands herself back upright, panting.)<br />
<br />
You grin at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Zersha lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Allye beams at Shaoimhe!<br />

One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore!"<br />
<br />
You just feel so pleased with yourself, you can't help letting out a hearty cheer.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe clacks the mugs still in her hands together, bowing.)<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe exclaims, "Now drink up!"<br />
<br />
Vixonia lets out a loud "Huzzah!" for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Ysindre lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />

<br />

<br />
Gragnel winces.<br />
<br />
Allye giggles at Gragnel.<br />
<br />
Gragnel falls over.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"Bootlegger's Bourbon was born either from a vision sent from Glythtide himself, or waking up on the floor of The Golden Heron, staring one-eyed at the latest performance of The Halfling Hustle while feeling like I had for some reason head-butted a ram, still having the stale taste of Granny's #3 on my tongue. I fail to remember which."<br />
<br />
Darkewolff winks at Gragnel.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"It dawned on me at that point that the majority of corn consumed on Elanthia is wasted on the plate, rather than as a gateway to a more refined means of inebriation."<br />
<br />
You nod in agreement.<br />
<br />
Gragnel says to himself, "I knew I should have just stayed in the chair."<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"While running trails to calm Kalika's constant nagging, I began to take note of the vast number of farms not far off the trail, and used said trails to...<br />
<br />
Tactically acquire a few honey aging barrels and enough corn to make an initial run. This was very well received by the various barmaids...<br />
<br />
Err...<br />
<br />
Tavern owners with whom I visit in my travels."<br />
<br />
You try hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"The name Bootleggers Bourbon spawned from using those same ranger trails to bypass any official tariffs or border stops on my journey to share the occasional crate of bottles with various establishments in the provinces I visited while avoiding guild training."<br />
<br />
You nod.<br />
<br />
Nawain grins at Kamisama.<br />

<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Right, so let me tell you how we're going to do that."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Not long ago -- in a fit a'mad, cunning genius -- I hid nine Golden Slips across Kermoria. Amongst us, we have the Finders o'these prized posessions."<br />
<br />
Kentara exclaims to Vixonia, "I will join on that adventure!"<br />
<br />
You strike a heroic pose.<br />
<br />

<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Finders, we celebrate you and your curiosity! Today, this pondrous posse, this curious crew, these fortunate few will fight for the chance t'win three very special prizes indeed. I trust you're up for the challenge?"<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
You say to Kethrai, "I am."<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Strictly!"<br />
<br />
You fold your arms across your chest.<br />
<br />

<br />

You nod at Darkewolff, in complete agreement with his views.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Their creations outshine all that you might find at one of the many bars across this land. Today you'll hear a little about their concotions and the inspiration behind them, and perhaps your creative genius might too be sparked!"<br />
<br />
You waggle your fingers mystically.<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says to Kamisama, "I'm just a drink drinker."<br />
<br />
You say, "Yknow, just in time for HE."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "Some of them even outshine the moons, one might say."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Finally, we celebrate community. All of you. For comin' together at a time like this, f'supporting each other, and remembering those who aren't wi'us right now."<br />
<br />
Vaerek shakes his flask.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Because y'all are so great... at the end of the evening there will be a draw -- a raffle -- to add another winner to the mix! If y'haven't already done so I'd ask anyone who didn' find a Golden Slip add their name to th'list outside before the evening is up."<br />
<br />
You ponder.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"I will say m'thoughts are very much wi'our missing friends -- Mikston and Navesi, as I'm sure many o'you know are wonderful drink-makers in their own rights. I'd ask that y'join us in a moment of silence to spare thoughts for those who are not with us right now."<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
You grin at Avrenka.<br />
<br />
Allye recites:<br />
<br />
"A toast! A toast to the light moments we grasp onto in times of darkness! A toast to the unity that can be found in gathering together to enjoy one another's company, even when the world feels fraught and harrowing."<br />
<br />

<br />
Gragnel says, "If anyone starts to feel sick, please make your way to the door. It's a little tight quarters in here."<br />

<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Your challenge... is to give a SALES PITCH to the audience about the wonders o'your selected tipple and why they should drink it. You will have about... ten rois to come up with your pitch, and a maximum of two rois to deliver it. The most convincing pitches will take the podium as finalists!"<br />
<br />
Gragnel asks, "Stand by the window for some fresh air maybe?"<br />
<br />
Nawain laughs!<br />
<br />
Vaerek asks Gragnel, "They did say your shoes were hard to fill. Maybe we can aim there?"<br />
<br />
Etasia says, "Ohh waits."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says to Messica, "And yet always possible. They should make an axiom about that..."<br />
<br />
Valynn says, "Oh, this should be fun."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Audience -- once all the pitches are heard, we will vote for the top three. So listen well wi'hearts, minds, and stomachs."<br />
<br />
Istercal says, "Can't take the whole sack, Nevali."<br />
<br />
Messica says to Kethrai, "Just be careful you don't end up duplicating gnomes if you rely on the axiom too strongly."<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Gragnel says to Daerlynn, "It takes a bit of practice, but it's not too rough."<br />
<br />
You let out a loud "Huzzah!" for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
(Istercal walks over to the fireplace, admiring the craftsmanship in the placement of riverstone.)<br />
<br />
Vixonia quietly exclaims to you, "I have a good one!"<br />
<br />
Nawain grins at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe braces her hands on either side of the stool and hoists herself upward, tucking her feet so that they brace onto the seat. Then she stands, balancing herself, and nods in satisfaction now that she can look more people in the eye.)<br />
<br />
Elore says to you, "I'm using a mental eraser to remove that note."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "I'd tell you my final knife joke."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe cheerfully says, "Hello!" She emphasizes her greeting with a pirouette upon the stool, flourishing her arms outward in welcome. "My name is Shaoimhe Bramblebairn, but you can just call me SheShe! I'm a Bard, and a tart enthusiast, and a tumbler, and, um, well...not much of a drinker."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "But you wouldn't see the POINT."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe quickly says, "But I've drank! I mean, I've had...um...something. It was tasty? And made me very warm."<br />
<br />
Stelling asks Shaoimhe, "Can't be perfect eh?"<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe exclaims, "But luckily my performance isn't based on my ability to drink - it's to encourage yours! Also it was meant to be done on a unicycle but..." She glances around at the crowded room. "I figured that probably wouldn't be the best choice tonight. So gather around and enjoy my little drinking song, with a twist!"<br />
<br />
You say, "A twist..."<br />
<br />
Kentara says to Stelling, "Come on now, you knew she was perfect when she said Bard."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe suddenly backflips off of the stool, twisting slightly in the air before landing steadily on her feet and flashing a wink. "Twist...get it?" She giggles and then disappears for a second, returning with an armful of pewter mugs.)<br />
<br />
You gasp!<br />
<br />
Avrenka says, "..nice."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe seriously says, "Don't worry, they're empty. There will be no alcohol abuse here tonight."<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "If i can say one thing before i run.... I would say this...Some ships are wooden and wooden ship sinks the best is friendships and to this we drink."<br />
<br />
Stelling says, "Oh good."<br />
<br />
Lushk exclaims to Seihjin, "I'm on the cutting edge of comedy!"<br />
<br />
Ophidian exclaims, "Thanks and so nice to see everyone!"<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Thanks f'coming!"<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Be well friends."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe positions herself in an easy stance, bouncing on the balls of her feet and talking quietly to herself. Then, with a steadying breath, she looks up with bright silver eyes and a cheeky expression. Her hands flip upward and the mugs are thrown into the air!)<br />
<br />
Vixonia lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe catches them one by one, flinging them upward as she does to get a simple cascade started. The mugs arc high into the air before falling gracefully back down to her nimble hands and she settles into the pattern.)<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Oh, here in Medir's Tavern there's so much fun to be had<br />
<br />
And the bouncers, they don't even care if you're good or if you're bad<br />
<br />
Just come on in and have a round and see what the night brings<br />
<br />
IYou could find love, perhaps a brawl, all while a cute Bard sings."<br />
<br />
Istercal lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
You say, "Y'can brawl, that's true. But maybe not tonight."<br />
<br />
You try hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Nevali asks, "Can I be a bouncer?"<br />
<br />
You nod to Nevali.<br />
<br />
Elore glances at Nevali.<br />
<br />
You say, "Hired."<br />
<br />
You point at Nevali.<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Now I am just a little thing, you see<br />
<br />
One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore."<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "How i get out."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "Why did the knife go to school? To get an edge-ucation."<br />
<br />
You open the door.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Ahh."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe steps up onto the footrest and quickly lifts her other foot to brace against the edge of the seat, tilting the stool until she is balanced upon it precariously. All the while the mugs arc into the air, and as she settles onto her perch she switches to a shower pattern, twirling a mug around one finger playfully with every few grabs before putting it back into motion.)<br />
<br />
Bryinn says, "Enough with the silly jokes."<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "But the serious jokes aren't as funny."<br />
<br />
You pat Bryinn on the back.<br />
<br />
Bryinn has accepted your offer and is now holding a generous dram of Chelsea Estate's Special Reserve scotch.<br />
<br />
You say, "That'll help them go down."<br />
<br />
Bryinn beams!<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"The finest drinks and food in town can be found right here in this bar<br />
<br />
And - let's be honest - it's where all the best people are<br />
<br />
It's cozy, it's gorgeous, I've heard that it's clean<br />
<br />
At least it's better than most of the taverns I've seen!"<br />
<br />
Istercal asks, "What's a serious joke?"<br />
<br />
Istercal chuckles.<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "You are."<br />
<br />
Nevali cackles!<br />
<br />
You ponder.<br />
<br />
Istercal laughs!<br />
<br />
Gragnel snorts, loudly.<br />
<br />
Istercal cackles!<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles a little oddly.<br />
<br />
You say, "Clean... ehhh..."<br />
<br />
Allye appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe lets the mugs fly in the air before her for a roisan longer before she snatches them from the air, her fingers hooking deftly into the handles. Three to each hand, she adjusts them to set more comfortably as she leans forward and grips the seat, shifting her feet together and keeping the stool as balanced as possible. Then moving with extreme care to keep the stool on two legs, she begins to lift herself upward.)<br />
<br />
Raising his Katamba-black whiskey to Shaoimhe, Vaerek gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
You gaze into Shaoimhe's eyes and applaud her heartily.<br />
<br />
Nilme gazes at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />

<br />
Zersha gawks at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />

<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Now I am just a little thing, you see<br />
<br />
One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe's voice is strained as she continues. Bent at the waist to help her balance as long as she can, her arms still shake with the exertion and she glares at the stool as it follows suit. It seems as if she's stopped breathing as she successfully brings herself nearly upside-down.)<br />
<br />
You gasp at Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"And Medir himself is quite the Rakash to know, as if you couldn't tell<br />
<br />
He's creative and funny and I am quite sure there is nothing which he wouldn't excel<br />
<br />
Put it all together and you have quite the place, and for what more could we ask<br />
<br />
So now raise your tankard, or pint glass, or flask!"<br />
<br />
You fan yourself.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Whos puppy."<br />
<br />
Raising his gypsy misthaze to Shaoimhe, Stelling gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Its not letting me leave with out it."<br />
<br />
Ophidian ponders.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe finishes her handstand just as she finishes the verse, stool wobbling but still miraculously balanced. Her feet point proudly into the air and she beams triumphantly through the concentration on her face. Smart enough not to push her luck, she pushes herself rather quickly and forcefully, letting the stool clatter to the ground while she lands herself back upright, panting.)<br />
<br />
You grin at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Zersha lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Allye beams at Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />

<br />
One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore!"<br />
<br />
You just feel so pleased with yourself, you can't help letting out a hearty cheer.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe clacks the mugs still in her hands together, bowing.)<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe exclaims, "Now drink up!"<br />
<br />
Vixonia lets out a loud "Huzzah!" for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Ysindre lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
You point at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Now drink up!"<br />
<br />
Raising her scotch to Shaoimhe, Nilme gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
You applaud.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"That was wonderful!"<br />
<br />
Stelling says, "It is definitely the best tavern around, and was in need of a theme song."<br />
<br />

You recite:<br />
<br />
"I have your winners. Curious? I know y'are. But first I'd like to hear more from one of our esteemed drinkmakers. Kami? Would y'share a couple words?"<br />
<br />
Kamisama bows.<br />
<br />
You grin at Kamisama.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff throws his dart at a two-colored dartboard and...<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Gragnel winces.<br />
<br />
Allye giggles at Gragnel.<br />
<br />
Gragnel falls over.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"Bootlegger's Bourbon was born either from a vision sent from Glythtide himself, or waking up on the floor of The Golden Heron, staring one-eyed at the latest performance of The Halfling Hustle while feeling like I had for some reason head-butted a ram, still having the stale taste of Granny's #3 on my tongue. I fail to remember which."<br />
<br />
Darkewolff winks at Gragnel.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"It dawned on me at that point that the majority of corn consumed on Elanthia is wasted on the plate, rather than as a gateway to a more refined means of inebriation."<br />
<br />
You nod in agreement.<br />
<br />
Gragnel says to himself, "I knew I should have just stayed in the chair."<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"While running trails to calm Kalika's constant nagging, I began to take note of the vast number of farms not far off the trail, and used said trails to...<br />
<br />
Tactically acquire a few honey aging barrels and enough corn to make an initial run. This was very well received by the various barmaids...<br />
<br />
Err...<br />
<br />
Tavern owners with whom I visit in my travels."<br />
<br />
You try hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"The name Bootleggers Bourbon spawned from using those same ranger trails to bypass any official tariffs or border stops on my journey to share the occasional crate of bottles with various establishments in the provinces I visited while avoiding guild training."<br />
<br />
You nod.<br />
<br />
Nawain grins at Kamisama.<br />
<br />
Raising his gypsy misthaze to Kamisama, Stelling gives him a toast.<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Thank you!"<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

You ask Madigan, "Is th'coffee spiked?"<br />
<br />

<br />
You say, "Cause it should be."<br />
<br />
(Nawain sips her scotch and gazes into the empty fireplace.)<br />

<br />
Kethrai sheepishly says to Gragnel, "Apologies, then. I needn't have escalated with her."<br />
<br />

<br />
Raising his scotch to you, Kethrai gives you a toast. Cheers!<br />

<br />
You flash a wide grin.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"I'm not countin'. The bar is OPEN tonight!"<br />
<br />
Vixonia says to Kentara, "I will drink to a lot..."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Right, so let me tell you how we're going to do that."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Not long ago -- in a fit a'mad, cunning genius -- I hid nine Golden Slips across Kermoria. Amongst us, we have the Finders o'these prized posessions."<br />
<br />
Kentara exclaims to Vixonia, "I will join on that adventure!"<br />
<br />
You strike a heroic pose.<br />
<br />
You ask, "Can I ask our Finders t'make themselves known?"<br />

<br />
Etasia says, "Upon request."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Finders, we celebrate you and your curiosity! Today, this pondrous posse, this curious crew, these fortunate few will fight for the chance t'win three very special prizes indeed. I trust you're up for the challenge?"<br />
<br />
Etasia says, "Well......."<br />
<br />
You say, "The answer is YES. You are."<br />
<br />
Etasia says, "They could nae be here."<br />
<br />
Vixonia is giggling at you.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"It is our job t'cheer them on and your most essential task to vote for y'favourite contestants when the time comes. I trust you're up for the challenge too."<br />
<br />
Kethrai asks, "If we raise our hands, are you actually checking for the golden slips...?"<br />
<br />
You say to Kethrai, "I am."<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Strictly!"<br />
<br />
You fold your arms across your chest.<br />
<br />
Etasia says, "Ahh."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says to you, "I see. Well, then. Carry on."<br />
<br />
You shake Darkewolff's hand.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Tonight, we also celebrate creativity. In our midst, we have some a'the finest drink-makers in all of Elanthia. You know who y'are."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "Just curious."<br />
<br />
Nevali waves a gold-edged ivory parchment around.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff says to you, "Good to see you, brother. quite a night tonight."<br />
<br />
You nod at Darkewolff, in complete agreement with his views.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Their creations outshine all that you might find at one of the many bars across this land. Today you'll hear a little about their concotions and the inspiration behind them, and perhaps your creative genius might too be sparked!"<br />
<br />
You waggle your fingers mystically.<br />
<br />
Shaylynne says to Kamisama, "I'm just a drink drinker."<br />
<br />
You say, "Yknow, just in time for HE."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "Some of them even outshine the moons, one might say."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Finally, we celebrate community. All of you. For comin' together at a time like this, f'supporting each other, and remembering those who aren't wi'us right now."<br />
<br />
Vaerek shakes his flask.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Because y'all are so great... at the end of the evening there will be a draw -- a raffle -- to add another winner to the mix! If y'haven't already done so I'd ask anyone who didn' find a Golden Slip add their name to th'list outside before the evening is up."<br />
<br />
You ponder.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"I will say m'thoughts are very much wi'our missing friends -- Mikston and Navesi, as I'm sure many o'you know are wonderful drink-makers in their own rights. I'd ask that y'join us in a moment of silence to spare thoughts for those who are not with us right now."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe gazes upward.<br />
<br />
Nawain inhales a great swallow of air.<br />
<br />
Nawain slowly empties her lungs.<br />
<br />
Vixonia nods to you.<br />
<br />
You smile.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Finally, a thank you to my fabulous co-hosts, the Tavern Troupe, embodiments as each of them are o' all that we celebrate tonight. Allye, would y'like to say a few words?"<br />

<br />
"Feel free to grab a drink from the picnic cloth or the refreshments cart if you don't have one already."<br />
<br />
Vixonia looks at you and lets out a hearty cheer on your behalf!<br />
<br />
Allye motions toward a darkly glimmering spun glitter picnic cloth.<br />
<br />
Avrenka says, "Didn't expect so many people."<br />
<br />
You grin at Avrenka.<br />
<br />
Allye recites:<br />
<br />
"A toast! A toast to the light moments we grasp onto in times of darkness! A toast to the unity that can be found in gathering together to enjoy one another's company, even when the world feels fraught and harrowing."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says, "Couldn't possibly be better than this scotch, sir."<br />

<br />
"Alright. Without further ado, let's get to the contest. Finders, assemble!"<br />
<br />
Jundara says, "Assembling...."<br />
<br />
Allye says to Avrenka, "First a contest for the folks who found the golden slips. Raffle for everyone else later."<br />
<br />
Avrenka says, "Ah."<br />
<br />
Vixonia says to Avrenka, "After the event, there is going to be a raffle and the list to join in for that is outside."<br />
<br />
Nevali says to Jundara, "Assemble me, I'm tired."<br />
<br />

<br />
You exclaim, "Ah ha!"<br />
<br />
You wave your gold sack around.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Finders! Today I set you this task: Inside this bag are a selection of the finest creations a'our esteemed drinkmakers, both here and absent. Each of you will draw a drink."<br />
<br />
You point at a large gold sack you have.<br />
<br />
Nawain gazes at you.<br />
<br />
Istercal says, "Easy task so far."<br />
<br />
Daerlynn exclaims, "I have paper for your drawing if you need it!"<br />
<br />
Messica says, "Selecting exactly one item from an arbitrary set can be surprisingly fraught."<br />
<br />
Gragnel says, "If anyone starts to feel sick, please make your way to the door. It's a little tight quarters in here."<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "I've already been feeling sick... that's why I got my blindfold on..."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Your challenge... is to give a SALES PITCH to the audience about the wonders o'your selected tipple and why they should drink it. You will have about... ten rois to come up with your pitch, and a maximum of two rois to deliver it. The most convincing pitches will take the podium as finalists!"<br />
<br />
Gragnel asks, "Stand by the window for some fresh air maybe?"<br />
<br />
Nawain laughs!<br />
<br />
Vaerek asks Gragnel, "They did say your shoes were hard to fill. Maybe we can aim there?"<br />
<br />
Etasia says, "Ohh waits."<br />
<br />
Kethrai says to Messica, "And yet always possible. They should make an axiom about that..."<br />
<br />
Valynn says, "Oh, this should be fun."<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Audience -- once all the pitches are heard, we will vote for the top three. So listen well wi'hearts, minds, and stomachs."<br />
<br />
Istercal says, "Can't take the whole sack, Nevali."<br />
<br />
Messica says to Kethrai, "Just be careful you don't end up duplicating gnomes if you rely on the axiom too strongly."<br />
<br />
Gragnel says to Vaerek, "Awww, not the shoes."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe grins at you.<br />
<br />
Zersha quietly says to Aetheline, "I'm not sure they can convince me anything is better than this juice box."<br />
<br />
Raising her apple brandy to you, Valynn gives you a toast. Cheers!<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"And Finders -- worry not, f'this is all in fun. We know each a'these drinks are delicious, and I applaud you for even being here. Even if you don' make it to the final round, each of you will be leavin' tonight with a hefty purse simply for having uncovered a slip!"<br />
<br />
Zersha exclaims to Stelling, "There's a straw and a cow!"<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
You say, "Oh, and y'can whisper to me if you need any help."<br />
<br />

<br />
Bryinn asks, "Edirnks?"<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "Yes... dreniks."<br />
<br />
You say, "That means it's workin'."<br />
<br />
You praise Lushk's efforts, supporting her with your approval.<br />
<br />
Vaerek says to Bryinn, "It's slang for directions."<br />
<br />
You ask, "Every Finder have a drink?"<br />
<br />
Karthor says to Lushk, "Flush. Poisons."<br />
<br />
Jundara asks, "Circle of sympathy for the hangovers?"<br />
<br />
Ysindre says, "Not yet."<br />
<br />
Vixonia playfully exclaims, "Alrighty all! Feel free to raise a glass and toast with me with this song... it's all about one of my favorite past times. Drinking!"<br />
<br />
Vixonia says, "Seemed appropriate."<br />
<br />
Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Now some may say I'm a typical bard<br />
<br />
Because I like to drink...<br />
<br />
But oft when I watch folks in the bar<br />
<br />
It tends to make me think."<br />
<br />
Sliyder says, "Lushk minus the K."<br />
<br />
Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Folks drink to get happy<br />
<br />
They drink because they're sad.<br />
<br />
For me I think I like to drink...<br />
<br />
Because there is fun to be had!"<br />
<br />
Etasia asks, "Anyone else?"<br />
<br />
Jundara exclaims, "Nawain!"<br />
<br />
Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"So raise your glass<br />
<br />
Or tip your stein<br />
<br />
Do a shot with me<br />
<br />
And sing...<br />
<br />
Find a drink that brings you joy<br />
<br />
That's sure to be the thing!"<br />
<br />
Grinning, Hebion pulls a swig from a pretty glass bottle of Tildi's Apple Blossom Tipple.<br />
<br />
Jundara says, "Nawain is a winner."<br />
<br />
Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Some drink to boost their confidence<br />
<br />
Others drink to meet their mate.<br />
<br />
Just choose your drink wisely<br />
<br />
Before you seal your fate!"<br />
<br />
Lushk says, "Ok I should start feeling good in a few rois."<br />
<br />
You hum to yourself.<br />
<br />
Vixonia sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Drinking wine and feeling fine<br />
<br />
Though sometimes it makes you sleepy.<br />
<br />
Just be careful not to drink too much<br />
<br />
Because then you might get weepy!"<br />
<br />
Vixonia exclaims, "Here comes the chorus again... feel free to join in if you want!"<br />
<br />
Daerlynn's alto, Stelling's baritone and Nilme's soprano join with Vixonia's soprano as she sings:<br />
<br />
"So raise your glass<br />
<br />
Or tip your stein<br />
<br />
Do a shot with me<br />
<br />
And sing...<br />
<br />
Find a drink that brings you joy<br />
<br />
That's sure to be the thing!"<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
You ask, "Maaaybe?"<br />
<br />

<br />
You exclaim, "Why not. Vote f'yourself!"<br />
<br />

You say, "Not sure where th'last one went."<br />
<br />
Kentara says to Lushk, "No jokes about knives, too soon."<br />
<br />
Vixonia says to Nevali, "Two folks never contacted us."<br />
<br />
Kethrai asks, "Luck... or skill?"<br />
<br />
Stelling says, "No good time to slow down."<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "I have a doctorate's in bartering. I'd show it to you, but my doctor ate it."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "All my other knife jokes..."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "Jsut don't make the CUT."<br />

You gesture at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Aetheline lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />

<br />
Daerlynn says, "Well then, I know I am a minstrel, but I really wanted to become a Monk. Unfortunately I never got the chants."<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff smiles at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"I'm making a mental note t'do a dad joke contest in the future."<br />
<br />
Gragnel says to Daerlynn, "It takes a bit of practice, but it's not too rough."<br />
<br />
You let out a loud "Huzzah!" for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
(Istercal walks over to the fireplace, admiring the craftsmanship in the placement of riverstone.)<br />
<br />
Vixonia quietly exclaims to you, "I have a good one!"<br />
<br />
Nawain grins at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe braces her hands on either side of the stool and hoists herself upward, tucking her feet so that they brace onto the seat. Then she stands, balancing herself, and nods in satisfaction now that she can look more people in the eye.)<br />
<br />
Elore says to you, "I'm using a mental eraser to remove that note."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "I'd tell you my final knife joke."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe cheerfully says, "Hello!" She emphasizes her greeting with a pirouette upon the stool, flourishing her arms outward in welcome. "My name is Shaoimhe Bramblebairn, but you can just call me SheShe! I'm a Bard, and a tart enthusiast, and a tumbler, and, um, well...not much of a drinker."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "But you wouldn't see the POINT."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe quickly says, "But I've drank! I mean, I've had...um...something. It was tasty? And made me very warm."<br />
<br />
Stelling asks Shaoimhe, "Can't be perfect eh?"<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe exclaims, "But luckily my performance isn't based on my ability to drink - it's to encourage yours! Also it was meant to be done on a unicycle but..." She glances around at the crowded room. "I figured that probably wouldn't be the best choice tonight. So gather around and enjoy my little drinking song, with a twist!"<br />
<br />
You say, "A twist..."<br />
<br />
Kentara says to Stelling, "Come on now, you knew she was perfect when she said Bard."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe suddenly backflips off of the stool, twisting slightly in the air before landing steadily on her feet and flashing a wink. "Twist...get it?" She giggles and then disappears for a second, returning with an armful of pewter mugs.)<br />
<br />
You gasp!<br />
<br />
Avrenka says, "..nice."<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe seriously says, "Don't worry, they're empty. There will be no alcohol abuse here tonight."<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "If i can say one thing before i run.... I would say this...Some ships are wooden and wooden ship sinks the best is friendships and to this we drink."<br />
<br />
Stelling says, "Oh good."<br />
<br />
Lushk exclaims to Seihjin, "I'm on the cutting edge of comedy!"<br />
<br />
Ophidian exclaims, "Thanks and so nice to see everyone!"<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Thanks f'coming!"<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Be well friends."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe positions herself in an easy stance, bouncing on the balls of her feet and talking quietly to herself. Then, with a steadying breath, she looks up with bright silver eyes and a cheeky expression. Her hands flip upward and the mugs are thrown into the air!)<br />
<br />
Vixonia lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe catches them one by one, flinging them upward as she does to get a simple cascade started. The mugs arc high into the air before falling gracefully back down to her nimble hands and she settles into the pattern.)<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Oh, here in Medir's Tavern there's so much fun to be had<br />
<br />
And the bouncers, they don't even care if you're good or if you're bad<br />
<br />
Just come on in and have a round and see what the night brings<br />
<br />
IYou could find love, perhaps a brawl, all while a cute Bard sings."<br />
<br />
Istercal lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
You say, "Y'can brawl, that's true. But maybe not tonight."<br />
<br />
You try hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Nevali asks, "Can I be a bouncer?"<br />
<br />
You nod to Nevali.<br />
<br />
Elore glances at Nevali.<br />
<br />
You say, "Hired."<br />
<br />
You point at Nevali.<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"Now I am just a little thing, you see<br />
<br />
One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore."<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "How i get out."<br />
<br />
Lushk drunkenly says, "Why did the knife go to school? To get an edge-ucation."<br />
<br />
You open the door.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Ahh."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe steps up onto the footrest and quickly lifts her other foot to brace against the edge of the seat, tilting the stool until she is balanced upon it precariously. All the while the mugs arc into the air, and as she settles onto her perch she switches to a shower pattern, twirling a mug around one finger playfully with every few grabs before putting it back into motion.)<br />
<br />
Bryinn says, "Enough with the silly jokes."<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "But the serious jokes aren't as funny."<br />
<br />
You pat Bryinn on the back.<br />
<br />
Bryinn has accepted your offer and is now holding a generous dram of Chelsea Estate's Special Reserve scotch.<br />
<br />
You say, "That'll help them go down."<br />
<br />
Bryinn beams!<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"The finest drinks and food in town can be found right here in this bar<br />
<br />
And - let's be honest - it's where all the best people are<br />
<br />
It's cozy, it's gorgeous, I've heard that it's clean<br />
<br />
At least it's better than most of the taverns I've seen!"<br />
<br />
Istercal asks, "What's a serious joke?"<br />
<br />
Istercal chuckles.<br />
<br />
Nevali says, "You are."<br />
<br />
Nevali cackles!<br />
<br />
You ponder.<br />
<br />
Istercal laughs!<br />
<br />
Gragnel snorts, loudly.<br />
<br />
Istercal cackles!<br />
<br />
Vixonia giggles a little oddly.<br />
<br />
You say, "Clean... ehhh..."<br />
<br />
Allye appears to be trying hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe lets the mugs fly in the air before her for a roisan longer before she snatches them from the air, her fingers hooking deftly into the handles. Three to each hand, she adjusts them to set more comfortably as she leans forward and grips the seat, shifting her feet together and keeping the stool as balanced as possible. Then moving with extreme care to keep the stool on two legs, she begins to lift herself upward.)<br />
<br />
Raising his Katamba-black whiskey to Shaoimhe, Vaerek gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
You gaze into Shaoimhe's eyes and applaud her heartily.<br />
<br />
Nilme gazes at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff looks at Shaoimhe and applauds!<br />
<br />
Zersha gawks at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Raising her bourbon to Shaoimhe, Valynn gives her a toast.<br />
<br />

<br />
"Now I am just a little thing, you see<br />
<br />
One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore."<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe's voice is strained as she continues. Bent at the waist to help her balance as long as she can, her arms still shake with the exertion and she glares at the stool as it follows suit. It seems as if she's stopped breathing as she successfully brings herself nearly upside-down.)<br />
<br />
You gasp at Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe sings in a soprano voice:<br />
<br />
"And Medir himself is quite the Rakash to know, as if you couldn't tell<br />
<br />
He's creative and funny and I am quite sure there is nothing which he wouldn't excel<br />
<br />
Put it all together and you have quite the place, and for what more could we ask<br />
<br />
So now raise your tankard, or pint glass, or flask!"<br />
<br />
You fan yourself.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Whos puppy."<br />
<br />
Raising his gypsy misthaze to Shaoimhe, Stelling gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
Ophidian says, "Its not letting me leave with out it."<br />
<br />
Ophidian ponders.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe finishes her handstand just as she finishes the verse, stool wobbling but still miraculously balanced. Her feet point proudly into the air and she beams triumphantly through the concentration on her face. Smart enough not to push her luck, she pushes herself rather quickly and forcefully, letting the stool clatter to the ground while she lands herself back upright, panting.)<br />
<br />
You grin at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
Zersha lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Allye beams at Shaoimhe!<br />

One drink for you is three for me<br />
<br />
But 3 or 5 or 10 or more<br />
<br />
Nights at Medir's are never a bore!"<br />
<br />
You just feel so pleased with yourself, you can't help letting out a hearty cheer.<br />
<br />
(Shaoimhe clacks the mugs still in her hands together, bowing.)<br />
<br />
Shaoimhe exclaims, "Now drink up!"<br />
<br />
Vixonia lets out a loud "Huzzah!" for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
Ysindre lets out a hearty cheer for Shaoimhe!<br />
<br />
You point at Shaoimhe.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"Now drink up!"<br />
<br />
Raising her scotch to Shaoimhe, Nilme gives her a toast.<br />
<br />
You applaud.<br />
<br />
You recite:<br />
<br />
"That was wonderful!"<br />
<br />
Stelling says, "It is definitely the best tavern around, and was in need of a theme song."<br />
<br />

You recite:<br />
<br />
"I have your winners. Curious? I know y'are. But first I'd like to hear more from one of our esteemed drinkmakers. Kami? Would y'share a couple words?"<br />
<br />
Kamisama bows.<br />
<br />
You grin at Kamisama.<br />
<br />
Darkewolff throws his dart at a two-colored dartboard and...<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
Gragnel winces.<br />
<br />
Allye giggles at Gragnel.<br />
<br />
Gragnel falls over.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"Bootlegger's Bourbon was born either from a vision sent from Glythtide himself, or waking up on the floor of The Golden Heron, staring one-eyed at the latest performance of The Halfling Hustle while feeling like I had for some reason head-butted a ram, still having the stale taste of Granny's #3 on my tongue. I fail to remember which."<br />
<br />
Darkewolff winks at Gragnel.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"It dawned on me at that point that the majority of corn consumed on Elanthia is wasted on the plate, rather than as a gateway to a more refined means of inebriation."<br />
<br />
You nod in agreement.<br />
<br />
Gragnel says to himself, "I knew I should have just stayed in the chair."<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"While running trails to calm Kalika's constant nagging, I began to take note of the vast number of farms not far off the trail, and used said trails to...<br />
<br />
Tactically acquire a few honey aging barrels and enough corn to make an initial run. This was very well received by the various barmaids...<br />
<br />
Err...<br />
<br />
Tavern owners with whom I visit in my travels."<br />
<br />
You try hard not to grin.<br />
<br />
Kamisama recites:<br />
<br />
"The name Bootleggers Bourbon spawned from using those same ranger trails to bypass any official tariffs or border stops on my journey to share the occasional crate of bottles with various establishments in the provinces I visited while avoiding guild training."<br />
<br />
You nod.<br />
<br />
Nawain grins at Kamisama.<br />
<br />
Raising his gypsy misthaze to Kamisama, Stelling gives him a toast.<br />
<br />
You exclaim, "Thank you!"<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />
'''Circa 447 AV''' (2023)<br />
<br />
You see Medir al'Malik, Legendary Barkeep of Elanthia, a Rakash.<br><br />
Medir has fathomless gold eyes. His black hair is shoulder length and wavy with grizzled streaks of grey throughout, and is worn tied back. He has tanned skin.<br><br />
He is of commanding height for a Rakash.<br><br />
He appears to be middle-aged.<br><br />
He has some light stubble on his face.<br><br />
He has a tattoo of a stylized crown silhouette over three sjarta leaves, punctuating lettering inscribed boldly on the skin of his right arm. Jet-black script across the inside edges of the muscle leads to simple cursive reading "Lord of the Drink" on his forearm.<br><br />
<br><br />
He is wearing a deep black linen khandur with a high side-buttoned collar seamed in silver silk, a hooded cartographer's cloak of black wool decorated with silver embroidery, some finely pleated trousers with a dragon curled around one leg and some black shoes.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Present ==<br />
<br />
Medir recently relocated to the [[Crossing]] for better access to his vineyards, to continue his research and to ensure the smooth operation of [[Medir's Tavern]] in [[Chelsea Overlook]].<br />
<br />
== Past ==<br />
'''YOUTH'''<br />
<br />
It was during a particularly dry desert winter some countless years ago that Medir first opened his eyes to the painted light of a saffron tent.<br />
<br />
The father, Rami al’Malik, a simple Rakash who had made his living trading silkenware, was a characteristically stoic and serious man. On the occasion, however, it is said his face glowed with an overt pride as he gazed down upon his son. It was his mother, Khifa, that named the child with the deep golden eyes and that night the small family quietly celebrated the birth of their first-born.<br />
<br />
His childhood was ordinary. Like the other children he grew up around, he had no care in the world outside the small oasis community where his father had set up trade. Gifted with no apparent talent in craft, he was saved an early bullying by his young companions thanks largely to a sudden up-shoot in height. He spent his days running tag and playing adventurer with these friends, weaving in and out amongst the caravans, travelers, tents and palms until the familiar booming voice of his father (“Medi!”) sounded across the sands much like a stern bell summoning him back to countless unfinished errands.<br />
<br />
Evenings were spent together by the firelight, and it was by these embers that his dreams took flight. Here, huddled in the communal warmth, wizened elders talked of incredible sorcery and great heroes that stood in every child’s mind like colossusi; their own eyes lit up with memories of younger days. Passing nomads would often interject, speaking in hushed tones of desert-spirits—they were always treacherous and malignant in these tales—and the sweet earthen scent of their spiced tobac would catch the breeze, dance out over the sands and carry Medir’s callow eyes out into the vast, moonlit promise of the world beyond.<br />
<br />
It wasn’t long, then, before the wanderlust became clear in his eyes. At the age of ten, intoxicated with the idea of adventure and glory that to his young mind even then seemed far out of reach in the little desert establishment, Medir was overcome by a bold stubbornness. He stepped up to Rami and with the deepest conviction he could muster told his father he would be leaving. The boy rambled on: he wanted to be a hero, he exclaimed. The man was silent. He wanted to be famous and slay spirits. The man was silent. He wanted to have songs written about him and stories told. He wanted a great sword and shiny armour. He wanted treasure. Clothes. Money. Gems. Great feasts in his honour. He wanted to buy his mother a big tent with beautiful rugs…<br />
<br />
And Rami simply stared at his son, shook his head after a moment, then laughed and ruffled the boy’s hair: “When you’re old enough, Medi.”<br />
<br />
It just so happened that on Medir’s sixteenth birthday, he became ‘old enough’. Early that morning a caravan set to push on through the Velaka towards Muspar’i had stopped to shelter at the oasis until a particularly troublesome sandstorm lifted enough for safe passage. Medir, unaware of these new arrivals, had spent the one day of his year free of chores engaged in an equally troublesome game of dice with his friends before being brought to indulge in a lavish feast to celebrate his coming of age. Come evening, full from the celebration and finally having broken free of the older lot, he was sitting with his friends staring out into the night sky — a rare moment discordantly interrupted by his father’s commanding voice –“Medi!”– speeding its way to his ears.<br />

He is wearing a deep black linen khandur with a high side-buttoned collar seamed in silver silk, a hooded cartographer's cloak of black wool decorated with silver embroidery, a vintner's toolkit of painted oak with a padded leather shoulder strap, a polished mistwood staff topped with a jagged-edged silver finial, a black leather harness covered in straps and buckles, a crocodile-skin buckler, a polished steel parry stick, some reinforced gloves, a black leather split-strap sword belt with silver inlays and some black shoes.<br />

|desc=The bowsprit stretches forward from the ship where the starboard and port gunnels meet. An iron-banded oak capstan is bolted securely to the deck for use in hauling up the anchor, setting the shrouds, or any other work where great purchases are required.<br /><br />
Ship paths: aft.}}<br />
<br />
{{RoomDescription|roomname=The Black Storm, Main Deck<br />
|desc=A brass-hinged gangway is inset into the starboard bulwark, allowing for a boarding plank to be run in and out from there with ease. The ship's rigging hangs above like an intricate spider's web. You also see the mainsail and the main mast.<br /><br />
Ship paths: forward, aft.}}<br />
<br />
{{RoomDescription|roomname=The Black Storm, Quarterdeck<br />
|desc=In the middle of the quarterdeck is the ship's wheel mounted on a slightly higher platform. Shrouds, running from mast to cleats on the bulwark, are run overhead along with sheets from the ship's rigging. You also see Pilot Lleianna, the ship's bell and a large spoked wheel.<br /><br />
Ship paths: forward.}}<br />
<br />
==Pilot==<br />
You see Pilot Lleianna, a Kaldar.<br /><br />
Showing allegiance to ship and captain, a blackened medal shaped like a storm cloud adorns the tricorne perched jauntily atop her windswept blonde hair. Her longcoat is left open to reveal a thin linen shirt, while a baldric hangs over one shoulder to support the weight of a cutlass and boarding axe. Loose trousers, belted by a black stormsilk sash, gather at the knees as they meet a pair of gum-soled boots that offer her grip on the deck as she stands steadfast at the wheel.<br />
<br />
==Ring==<br />
a wide captain's thumb ring cast from blackened moonsilver <br /><br />
Eerily glowing, the tarnished looking alloy serves as the perfect medium for the stunning nautical scene rendered along its broad surface. Large storm clouds work their way completely around the ring, looming high overhead the churning waves created by a mosaic of Drogor's Wrath sapphire shards. The dark cobalt of the ocean on a moonless night, paler striations within these murky gems resemble whitecaps of a storm-wracked sea. A tiny inscription has been engraved on the inside of the ring. <br /><br />
There appears to be something written on it. <br /><br />
A captain's thumb ring reads: <br /><br />
~the Black Storm~<br />

==Establishment and Events==<br />
[[File:MedirsTavern.png|300px|right]]<br />
The Tavern at Chelsea first opened its doors on the 193rd day of Uthmor, 385 to a fantastic (and diverse) crowd. The opening events included the ''Celebration of Elanthia Concert'', which featured performances by representatives from each of the five Elanthian provinces, as well as a special drink-draw by which a collection of prizes were given away to lucky attendees. The evening's end witnessed a visit by the [[Lindryl|Lady Lindryl]] and a cohort of apparantly intoxicated bards.<br /><br />
Events that have taken place since include ''Pub Quiz'', ''Roshambo Shots'', ''Tales Over Ale'' and a number of smaller private events for weddings, parties, meetings and other functions.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Following a period of different events and the expansion of the initial Tavern business into production and culturing, Medir finished his search for an apprentice tavernkeep with the ''Apprentice'' event and challenge-series, which took place on the 176th day of Uthmor, 387. The event saw a bustling crowd cheer on a handful of eager contestants, each of whom pitted their skills against challenges including blind tasting, a sales pitch and dealing with a persistent drunkard. The events were judged by a guest panel which included the notable Crossing innkeeper [[Taelbert's Inn|Taelbert Tione]]. By the end of the evening's events, Medir was pleased to name [[Celendi]] the Apprentice Tavernkeep.<br />

The event saw a bustling crowd cheer on a handful of eager contestants, each of whom pitted their skills against challenges including blind tasting, a sales pitch and dealing with a persistent drunkard. The events were judged by a guest panel which included the notable Crossing innkeeper [[Taelbert's Inn|Taelbert Tione]]. By the end of the evening's events, Medir was pleased to name [[Celendi]] the Apprentice Tavernkeep.<br />

<br />
'''Circa 447 AV''' (2023)<br />
<br />
You see Medir al'Malik, Legendary Barkeep of Elanthia, a Rakash.<br><br />
Medir has fathomless gold eyes. His black hair is shoulder length and wavy with grizzled streaks of grey throughout, and is worn tied back. He has tanned skin.<br><br />
He is of commanding height for a Rakash.<br><br />
He appears to be middle-aged.<br><br />
He has some light stubble on his face.<br><br />
He has a tattoo of a stylized crown silhouette over three sjarta leaves, punctuating lettering inscribed boldly on the skin of his right arm. Jet-black script across the inside edges of the muscle leads to simple cursive reading "Lord of the Drink" on his forearm.<br><br />
<br><br />
He is wearing a deep black linen khandur with a high side-buttoned collar seamed in silver silk, a hooded cartographer's cloak of black wool decorated with silver embroidery, some finely pleated trousers with a dragon curled around one leg and some black shoes.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Present ==<br />
<br />
Medir recently relocated to the [[Crossing]] for better access to his vineyards, to continue his research and to ensure the smooth operation of [[Medir's Tavern]] in [[Chelsea Overlook]].<br />
<br />
== Past ==<br />
'''YOUTH'''<br />
<br />
It was during a particularly dry desert winter some countless years ago that Medir first opened his eyes to the painted light of a saffron tent.<br />
<br />
The father, Rami al’Malik, a simple Rakash who had made his living trading silkenware, was a characteristically stoic and serious man. On the occasion, however, it is said his face glowed with an overt pride as he gazed down upon his son. It was his mother, Khifa, that named the child with the deep golden eyes and that night the small family quietly celebrated the birth of their first-born.<br />
<br />
His childhood was ordinary. Like the other children he grew up around, he had no care in the world outside the small oasis community where his father had set up trade. Gifted with no apparent talent in craft, he was saved an early bullying by his young companions thanks largely to a sudden up-shoot in height. He spent his days running tag and playing adventurer with these friends, weaving in and out amongst the caravans, gypsies, tents and palms until the familiar booming voice of his father (“Medi!”) sounded across the sands much like a stern bell summoning him back to countless unfinished errands.<br />
<br />
Evenings were spent together by the firelight, and it was by these embers that his dreams took flight. Here, huddled in the communal warmth, wizened elders talked of incredible sorcery and great heroes that stood in every child’s mind like colossusi; their own eyes lit up with memories of younger days. Passing nomads would often interject, speaking in hushed tones of desert-spirits—they were always treacherous and malignant in these tales—and the sweet earthen scent of their spiced tobac would catch the breeze, dance out over the sands and carry Medir’s callow eyes out into the vast, moonlit promise of the world beyond.<br />
<br />
It wasn’t long, then, before the wanderlust became clear in his eyes. At the age of ten, intoxicated with the idea of adventure and glory that to his young mind even then seemed far out of reach in the little desert establishment, Medir was overcome by a bold stubbornness. He stepped up to Rami and with the deepest conviction he could muster told his father he would be leaving. The boy rambled on: he wanted to be a hero, he exclaimed. The man was silent. He wanted to be famous and slay spirits. The man was silent. He wanted to have songs written about him and stories told. He wanted a great sword and shiny armour. He wanted treasure. Clothes. Money. Gems. Great feasts in his honour. He wanted to buy his mother a big tent with beautiful rugs…<br />
<br />
And Rami simply stared at his son, shook his head after a moment, then laughed and ruffled the boy’s hair: “When you’re old enough, Medi.”<br />
<br />
It just so happened that on Medir’s sixteenth birthday, he became ‘old enough’. Early that morning a caravan set to push on through the Velaka towards Muspar’i had stopped to shelter at the oasis until a particularly troublesome sandstorm lifted enough for safe passage. Medir, unaware of these new arrivals, had spent the one day of his year free of chores engaged in an equally troublesome game of dice with his friends before being brought to indulge in a lavish feast to celebrate his coming of age. Come evening, full from the celebration and finally having broken free of the older lot, he was sitting with his friends staring out into the night sky — a rare moment discordantly interrupted by his father’s commanding voice –“Medi!”– speeding its way to his ears.<br />

He is wearing a deep black linen khandur with a high side-buttoned collar seamed in silver silk, a hooded cartographer's cloak of black wool decorated with silver embroidery, a black leather harness covered in straps and buckles, a polished mistwood staff topped with a jagged-edged silver finial, a sturdy backpack, a crocodile-skin buckler, a friendship ring formed from linked silver knots, a black leather split-strap sword belt with silver inlays, some black shoes and a small silver corkscrew with a cambrinth ram's head grip.<br />

<br />
Medir recently relocated to the [[Crossing]] for better access to his vineyards, to continue his research and to ensure the smooth operation of [[Medir's Tavern]].<br />
<br />
== Past ==<br />
'''YOUTH'''<br />
<br />
It was during a particularly dry desert winter some forty years ago that Medir first opened his eyes to the painted light of a saffron tent.<br />
<br />
The father, Rami al’Malik, a simple Rakash who had made his living trading silkenware, was a characteristically stoic and serious man. On the occasion, however, it is said his face glowed with an overt pride as he gazed down upon his son. It was his mother, Khifa, that named the child with the deep golden eyes and that night the small family quietly celebrated the birth of their first-born.<br />
<br />
His childhood was ordinary. Like the other children he grew up around, he had no care in the world outside the small oasis community where his father had set up trade. Gifted with no apparent talent in craft, he was saved an early bullying by his young companions thanks largely to a sudden up-shoot in height. He spent his days running tag and playing adventurer with these friends, weaving in and out amongst the caravans, gypsies, tents and palms until the familiar booming voice of his father (“Medi!”) sounded across the sands much like a stern bell summoning him back to countless unfinished errands.<br />
<br />
Evenings were spent together by the firelight, and it was by these embers that his dreams took flight. Here, huddled in the communal warmth, wizened elders talked of incredible sorcery and great heroes that stood in every child’s mind like colossusi; their own eyes lit up with memories of younger days. Passing nomads would often interject, speaking in hushed tones of desert-spirits—they were always treacherous and malignant in these tales—and the sweet earthen scent of their spiced tobac would catch the breeze, dance out over the sands and carry Medir’s callow eyes out into the vast, moonlit promise of the world beyond.<br />
<br />
It wasn’t long, then, before the wanderlust became clear in his eyes. At the age of ten, intoxicated with the idea of adventure and glory that to his young mind even then seemed far out of reach in the little desert establishment, Medir was overcome by a bold stubbornness. He stepped up to Rami and with the deepest conviction he could muster told his father he would be leaving. The boy rambled on: he wanted to be a hero, he exclaimed. The man was silent. He wanted to be famous and slay spirits. The man was silent. He wanted to have songs written about him and stories told. He wanted a great sword and shiny armour. He wanted treasure. Clothes. Money. Gems. Great feasts in his honour. He wanted to buy his mother a big tent with beautiful rugs…<br />
<br />
And Rami simply stared at his son, shook his head after a moment, then laughed and ruffled the boy’s hair: “When you’re old enough, Medi.”<br />
<br />
It just so happened that on Medir’s sixteenth birthday, he became ‘old enough’. Early that morning a caravan set to push on through the Velaka towards Muspar’i had stopped to shelter at the oasis until a particularly troublesome sandstorm lifted enough for safe passage. Medir, unaware of these new arrivals, had spent the one day of his year free of chores engaged in an equally troublesome game of dice with his friends before being brought to indulge in a lavish feast to celebrate his coming of age. Come evening, full from the celebration and finally having broken free of the older lot, he was sitting with his friends staring out into the night sky — a rare moment discordantly interrupted by his father’s commanding voice –“Medi!”– speeding its way to his ears.<br />

<br />
==Establishment and Events==<br />
The Tavern at Chelsea first opened its doors on the 193rd day of Uthmor, 385 to a fantastic (and diverse) crowd. The opening events included the ''Celebration of Elanthia Concert'', which featured performances by representatives from each of the five Elanthian provinces, as well as a special drink-draw by which a collection of prizes were given away to lucky attendees. The evening's end witnessed a visit by the [[Lindryl|Lady Lindryl]] and a cohort of apparantly intoxicated bards.<br /><br />
Events that have taken place since include ''Pub Quiz'', ''Roshambo Shots'', ''Tales Over Ale'' and a number of smaller private events for weddings, parties, meetings and other functions.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Following a period of different events and the expansion of the initial Tavern business into production and culturing, Medir finished his search for an apprentice tavernkeep with the ''Apprentice'' event and challenge-series, which took place on the 176th day of Uthmor, 387. The event saw a bustling crowd cheer on a handful of eager contestants, each of whom pitted their skills against challenges including blind tasting, a sales pitch and dealing with a persistent drunkard. The events were judged by a guest panel which included the notable Crossing innkeeper [[Taelbert's Inn|Taelbert Tione]]. By the end of the evening's events, Medir was pleased to name [[Celendi]] the Apprentice Tavernkeep.<br />

==Establishment and Events==<br />
The Tavern at Chelsea first opened its doors on the 193rd day of Uthmor, 385 to a fantastic (and diverse) crowd. The opening events included the ''Celebration of Elanthia Concert'', which featured performances by representatives from each of the five Elanthian provinces, as well as a special drink-draw by which a collection of prizes were given away to lucky attendees. The evening's end witnessed a visit by the [[Lindryl|Lady Lindryl]] and a cohort of apparantly intoxicated bards.<br /><br />
Events that have taken place since include ''Pub Quiz'', ''Roshambo Shots'', ''Tales Over Ale'' and a number of smaller private events for weddings, parties, meetings and other functions.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Following a period of different events and the expansion of the initial Tavern business into production and culturing, Medir finished his search for an apprentice tavernkeep with the ''Apprentice'' event and challenge-series, which took place on the 176th day of Uthmor, 387. The event saw a bustling crowd cheer on a handful of eager contestants, each of whom pitted their skills against challenges including blind tasting, a sales pitch and dealing with a persistent drunkard. The events were judged by a guest panel which included the notable Crossing innkeeper [[Taelbert's Inn|Taelbert Tione]]. By the end of the evening's events, Medir was pleased to name [[Celendi]] the Apprentice Tavernkeep.<br />

==Establishment and Events==<br />
The Tavern at Chelsea first opened its doors on the 193rd day of Uthmor, 385 to a fantastic (and diverse) crowd. The opening events included the ''Celebration of Elanthia Concert'', which featured performances by representatives from each of the five Elanthian provinces, as well as a special drink-draw by which a collection of prizes were given away to lucky attendees. The evening's end witnessed a visit by the [[Lindryl|Lady Lindryl]] and a cohort of apparantly intoxicated bards.<br /><br />
Events that have taken place since include ''Pub Quiz'', ''Roshambo Shots'', ''Tales Over Ale'' and a number of smaller private events for weddings, parties, meetings and other functions.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Following a period of different events and the expansion of the initial Tavern business into production and culturing, Medir finished his search for an apprentice tavernkeep with the ''Apprentice'' event and challenge-series, which took place on the 176th day of Uthmor, 387. The event saw a bustling crowd cheer on a handful of eager contestants, each of whom pitted their skills against challenges including blind tasting, a sales pitch and dealing with a persistent drunkard. The events were judged by a guest panel which included the notable Crossing innkeeper [[Taelbert's Inn|Taelbert Tione]]. By the end of the evening's events, Medir was pleased to name [[Celendi]] the Apprentice Tavernkeep.<br />

The evening's end witnessed a visit by the [[Lindryl|Lady Lindryl]] and a cohort of apparantly intoxicated bards.<br /><br />
Events that have taken place since include ''Pub Quiz'', ''Roshambo Shots'', ''Tales Over Ale'' and a number of smaller private events for weddings, parties, meetings and other functions.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Following a period of different events and the expansion of the initial Tavern business into production and culturing, Medir finished his search for an apprentice tavernkeep with the ''Apprentice'' event and challenge-series, which took place on the 176th day of Uthmor, 387. The event saw a bustling crowd cheer on a handful of eager contestants, each of whom pitted their skills against challenges including blind tasting, a sales pitch and dealing with a persistent drunkard. The events were judged by a guest panel which included the notable Crossing innkeeper [[Taelbert's Inn|Taelbert Tione]]. By the end of the evening's events, Medir was pleased to name [[Celendi]] the Apprentice Tavernkeep.<br />

==Establishment and Events==<br />
The Tavern at Chelsea first opened its doors on the 193rd day of Uthmor, 385 to a fantastic (and diverse) crowd. The opening events included the ''Celebration of Elanthia Concert'', which featured performances by representatives from each of the five Elanthian provinces, as well as a special drink-draw by which a collection of prizes were given away to lucky attendees. The evening's end witnessed a visit by the [[Lindryl|Lady Lindryl]] and a cohort of apparantly intoxicated bards.<br /><br />
Events that have taken place since include ''Pub Quiz'', ''Roshambo Shots'', ''Tales Over Ale'' and a number of smaller private events for weddings, parties, meetings and other functions.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Following a period of different events and the expansion of the initial Tavern business into production and culturing, Medir finished his search for an apprentice tavernkeep with the ''Apprentice'' event and challenge-series, which took place on the 176th day of Uthmor, 387. The event saw a bustling crowd cheer on a handful of eager contestants, each of whom pitted their skills against challenges including blind tasting, a sales pitch and dealing with a persistent drunkard. The events were judged by a guest panel which included the notable Crossing innkeeper [[Taelbert's Inn|Taelbert Tione]]. By the end of the evening's events, Medir was pleased to name [[Celendi]] the Apprentice Tavernkeep.<br />

<br />
==Establishment and Events==<br />
The Tavern at Chelsea first opened its doors on the 193rd day of Uthmor, 385 to a fantastic (and diverse) crowd. The opening events included the ''Celebration of Elanthia Concert'', which featured performances by representatives from each of the five Elanthian provinces, as well as a special drink-draw by which a collection of prizes were given away to lucky attendees. The evening's end witnessed a visit by the [[Lindryl|Lady Lindryl]] and a cohort of apparantly intoxicated bards.<br /><br />
Events that have taken place since include ''Pub Quiz'', ''Roshambo Shots'', ''Tales Over Ale'' and a number of smaller private events for weddings, parties, meetings and other functions.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Following a period of different events and the expansion of the initial Tavern business into production and culturing, Medir finished his search for an apprentice tavernkeep with the ''Apprentice'' event and challenge-series, which took place on the 176th day of Uthmor, 387. The event saw a bustling crowd cheer on a handful of eager contestants, each of whom pitted their skills against challenges including blind tasting, a sales pitch and dealing with a persistent drunkard. The events were judged by a guest panel which included the notable Crossing innkeeper [[Taelbert's Inn|Taelbert Tione]]. By the end of the evening's events, Medir was pleased to name [[Celendi]] the Apprentice Tavernkeep.<br />

Circular shelves contain thousands upon thousands of books, most of which are off-limits to the casual browser. Scribes constantly scurry here and there, cataloging and arranging the contents. Near the entrance is a red velvet partition, where those visitors interested in viewing books up close have to register. You also see the Archmagus Fleintoore, and an elegant rosewood sign.<br />

--== Maginius Kaentao Maous: Exclusive Spell Services ==--<br />
<br />
We offer two special services for magicians of all types:<br />
<br />
* Spell Erasure -- we can retrain you to forget spells you no longer<br />
desire. The price of this service is subject to<br />
variable fees, please discuss your options with<br />
our staff.<br />
* Exclusive Library -- for a mere two(2) platinum, we will allow<br />
you access to our library for one hour's time.<br />
Our library contains volumes you will not find<br />
anywhere else in Elanthia.<br />
<br />
{{com|ASK}} {{tt|Archmagus Fleintoore ABOUT SERVICES}} for more details.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Services of Archmagus Fleintoore==<br />
<br />
"Very well, Grasshopper." says Fleintoore. "We offer an exquisite array of services unique to Throne City that you will not find anywhere else in Elanthia. There's far too much detail to even briefly review, so ask me about {{tt|ERASING}} or the {{tt|LIBRARY}}, and I'll be happy to explain more on any subject. Bear in mind that these services are not cheap and may require a considerable amount of money to acquire." Fleintoore grows quiet, patiently awaiting you to make a choice.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
===Spell Erasing===<br />
{{tt|ASK Archmagus Fleintoore about ERASING}}<br />
<br />
Fleintoore nods and says, "Spell erasure is unique process in which our scribes help you forget the knowledge of spells you may no longer wish to keep. For practical purposes, you may not erase a spell that is a prerequisite for other spells you already know -- for example, you may not erase Lightning Bolt if you know Chain Lightning. The fee for this service is partially subsidized by the guilds and is variable based on a number of factors. You'll no doubt be happy to know that we donate five percent of all sales of this service to the continued restoration and beautification of historic Throne City. If you decide on a spell you wish to forget, we'll sit down together and calculate the fee."<br /><br />
[To purchase this service, type {{com|CHOOSE}} ''<spellname>''. You will lose that spell from your spellbook but will regain the spell slot.]<br />
====Cost====<br />
As of June 7, 2015 costs have been re-enabled for forgetting spells. The price is calculated from the last time you forget a spell. This system uses real life days. It is only possible to forget 1 spell at a time.<br />
:0-30 days: Not possible<br />
:31-159 days: Costs ~2 plat lirum, no TDP cost.<br />
:160+ days: No cost.<br />
::[[Premium]] characters get a 20% discount off the price.<br />
<br />
===Spell Slot Purchase===<br />
With 3.0, there is no longer an option to purchase additional spell slots.<br />
<br />
===[[Exclusive Library]]===<br />
{{tt|ASK Archmagus Fleintoore about LIBRARY}}<br />
<br />
Fleintoore glances toward the other room. "We have one of the most extensive libraries known in all of Elanthia. In addition to having copies of books you may find elsewhere, we have several volumes that we at Maginius Kaentao Maous alone possess. These are extremely rare volumes and we do not allow just anyone to read them, so we must ask a fee of two platinum lirums to enter our library for two anlaen."<br /><br />
[To purchase this service, type {{tt|CHOOSE LIBRARY}}. You will be charged two(2) platinum lirums for two anlaen (or ONE HOUR of real time). There is no TDP cost for this service. {{tt|ASK FLEINTOORE ABOUT BOOKS}} to get a list of books available in the library at this time.]<br />
<br />
===Spell preparations===<br />
{{merge|Exclusive_Library#Special_Spell_Preps}}{{merge|Spell_preparation#Alternate_Preparations}}<br />
[[Spell preparation|Alternate spell preparation]]s can be purchased from a crimson-robed mage located in the exclusive library. The mage only visits at certain times of the day and his arrival and departure can be seen when standing in front of Fleintoore. The mage is known to be available for a short time in the early morning and again in the mid-afternoon. Once inside the library, go through the door to find him and {{com|ask}} {{tt|mage about preparing}}.<br />
<br />
Arrival messaging: ''A crimson-robed mage arrives, makes a brief exchange with the Archmagus Fleintoore, then heads northwest.<br /><br />
Departure messaging: ''A crimson-robed mage arrives, gives the Archmagus Fleintoore a polite nod, then heads outside.<br />
<br />
The cost varies based on your guild relative to the preparation. If the preparation is associated with your guild then you get a discounted price of 10 platinum lirums, otherwise you pay the full price of 50 platinum lirums. The one exception is that Necromancer preparations are always full price and cannot be learned by Holy magic guilds.<br />
<br />
==Directions==<br />
Getting here is a little complicated.<br />
<br />
===Option 1: Get a Moon Mage.===<br />
* Ask a moon mage to open the [[RanikMap42|Theren-TC turtle]] for you. If they don't know how, suggest that they ask their guildmates.<br />
* Step through the moongate.<br />
* south, out, south<br />
* goto Integrated Directions<br />
<br />
===Option 2: Take the barge.===<br />
* In the [[RanikMap30|Riverhaven shipyard]], at the far south, you have a barge that costs 120 copper Lirums (Take 240 for the round trip) Take it.<br />
* Upon [[RanikMap35a|docking]], south, southeast (invisible exit), southeast, climb slope, go gate, south, southwest.<br />
* goto Integrated Directions<br />
<br />
===Integrated Directions: [[RanikMap35|Throne City]].===<br />
* up, north, northwest, west, west, go alley, northeast, go building.<br />

==Establishment and Events==<br />
The Tavern at Chelsea first opened its doors on the 193rd day of Uthmor, 385 to a fantastic (and diverse) crowd. The opening events included the ''Celebration of Elanthia Concert'', which featured performances by representatives from each of the five Elanthian provinces, as well as a special drink-draw by which a collection of prizes were given away to lucky attendees. The evening's end witnessed a visit by the [[Lindryl|Lady Lindryl]] and a cohort of apparantly intoxicated bards.<br /><br />
Events that have taken place since include ''Pub Quiz'', ''Roshambo Shots'', ''Tales Over Ale'' and a number of smaller private events for weddings, parties, meetings and other functions.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Following a period of different events and the expansion of the initial Tavern business into production and culturing, Medir finished his search for an apprentice tavernkeep with the ''Apprentice'' event and challenge-series, which took place on the 176th day of Uthmor, 387. The event saw a bustling crowd cheer on a handful of eager contestants, each of whom pitted their skills against challenges including blind tasting, a sales pitch and dealing with a persistent drunkard. The events were judged by a guest panel which included the notable Crossing innkeeper [[Taelbert's Inn|Taelbert Tione]]. By the end of the evening's events, Medir was pleased to name [[Celendi]] the Apprentice Tavernkeep.<br />

==Establishment and Events==<br />
The Tavern at Chelsea first opened its doors on the 193rd day of Uthmor, 385 to a fantastic (and diverse) crowd. The opening events included the ''Celebration of Elanthia Concert'', which featured performances by representatives from each of the five Elanthian provinces, as well as a special drink-draw by which a collection of prizes were given away to lucky attendees. The evening's end witnessed a visit by the [[Lindryl|Lady Lindryl]] and a cohort of apparantly intoxicated bards.<br /><br />
Events that have taken place since include ''Pub Quiz'', ''Roshambo Shots'', ''Tales Over Ale'' and a number of smaller private events for weddings, parties, meetings and other functions.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Following a period of different events and the expansion of the initial Tavern business into production and culturing, Medir finished his search for an apprentice tavernkeep with the ''Apprentice'' event and challenge-series, which took place on the 176th day of Uthmor, 387. The event saw a bustling crowd cheer on a handful of eager contestants, each of whom pitted their skills against challenges including blind tasting, a sales pitch and dealing with a persistent drunkard. The events were judged by a guest panel which included the notable Crossing innkeeper [[Taelbert's Inn|Taelbert Tione]]. By the end of the evening's events, Medir was pleased to name [[Celendi]] the Apprentice Tavernkeep.<br />

|roomname=Medir's Home<br />
|desc=An overstuffed leather sofa and a lustrous walnut table with some stuff on it rest upon the dark pine floor of this room. A gorgeous riverstone fireplace, a vintner's wine keg stamped with "Medir's Tavern" hanging above it, burns from its resting place at the edge of the snowbeast pelt rug covering the floor. Rough-hewn oak walls enclose the area, holding in its mild smell of wine. You also see a wide oak-framed window, a wooden door, a black brewer's bar, a comfortable cushion-covered armchair that is facing away from the fireplace, a comfortable cushion-covered armchair that is facing away from the fireplace and a comfortable cushion-covered armchair that is facing the table.}}</div>EYRONY
