Sessions/Interlude 1/First

Narrator: The delvers return to Polisberg after their expedition to the Caverns of Madness.
Sithis: ooh! i don't speak English, it is very difficult for me if Wrathgon type not English
Singeon: ???
Singeon: Wrathgon, you see Doctor Who Saturday? It was awesome!
Wrathgon: so i am playing the dumb fighter type heh
Arganyev: shhh, Mark is beginning the session
Wrathgon: what race is he ?
Mrugnak: Wrathgon, you're playing dumb archer type. Ogre.
Wrathgon: ogre OK
GM: I am talking. Please discuss questions on MapTools (like I reminded you guys 4 minutes ago!) and let me get started.
** Singeon is ready for... whatever! **
Narrator: Lenia immediately headed to the high class parts of town, claiming she would meet with the nobility and fence the loot.
Narrator: The other delvers, not generally being blessed with invitations to the homes of the nobility, headed to the Polisberg Inn to relax.
GM: What are people up to, other than relaxing and spending silly amounts of money on beer?
** Singeon would have bathed before entering town, in a lake or something. **
Wrathgon: i try not to scare the other drinkers
whispering to Arganyev, Any luck with the download? 
** Singeon puts his special order in at the armorer, then will head to the inn an boast about their adventures! **
Wrathgon: but order a key of ale to be put beside table for ease of access
Sithis: I put my magical hat and read books of magic
Wrathgon: i see if there is a dartboard
Singeon: Buying drinks for people to enjoy our success. I'll allocate $500 for that (Living Large).
Wrathgon: and start playing if there is one
GM: There's a dartboard.
Wrathgon: OK see if anyone what to play??? maybe get beats going
Wrathgon: but play down my skill being a big lout
Sithis: me no, only read
GM: You're not that skilled with darts, really.
GM: But hey! who knows if the competition is. How much are you wagering?
Wrathgon: 10 gp
GM: That's some serious money - the equivalent of $4000 modern day.
** Singeon yells encouragement to his Ogre friend. **
GM: You're not getting a lot of takers, though 1 catgirl looks interested.
Wrathgon: $10 then
GM: oh, sure, plenty of people take that money.
Wrathgon: doesn't say how much he has
GM: About $8000, really.
Wrathgon: OK $100 then
GM: Okay. Roll your darts skill (which is Throwing)
Wrathgon: [3d6] => [5,6,4] = (15)
GM: generic PC [3d6.skill(13,0)] => [6,2,5] = 13 vs (13) or less Success! by 0 
GM: The other player gets it in the middle ring. You wedge the dart on the very outside of the board.
GM: You loose your stake. He looks happy.
Wrathgon: what did he roll?
** Singeon whispers to Sithis, "Maybe you can get that back for him, you know, pickity pockety." **
GM: 13, versus a skill of 13.
Wrathgon: anyone up for arm wrestling :)
GM: Not for 100 against an ogre, unless Mrugnak wants to try.
Wrathgon: but i rolled a 15 so don't i beat him?
whispering to Mrugnak, What are you typing? Your thesis? 
GM: No, GURPS is a roll-under system.
Wrathgon: shit
Wrathgon: OK
Wrathgon: i go sit in corner giving evil eye to winner
GM: He looks scared, but not enough to do anything about it... yet.
** Mrugnak stomps over to the bar and pounds one oversized fist on the counter. "Drink! Drink for Mrugnak!" **
Singeon: Lay off him Thog. he beat you fair.
GM: The bartender gives you one.
Wrathgon: i lean over to group and whisper nothing while looking at him
** Mrugnak pulls out a small handfull of silvers, and squints at them suspiciously before paying up. **
** Mrugnak carefully counts each coin, moving his lips as he does. **
** Wrathgon glares at winner **
GM: excuse for a second - busy.
** Mrugnak surveys the room, looking for someone to drink with. **
Singeon: Thog, look at the women instead of him. People will talk.
** Singeon says to Thog, "Why is that guy wearing a bull mask?" **
GM: Mrugnak notices an ogre and a small man without a hat looking at him.
** Mrugnak pricks up his ears and stomps over to Singeon and Thog. He snags a chair from another table as he's walking by. **
** Singeon stands, beer in hand, on the bench and addresses the stranger, "Is there a fancy dress party somewhere, sir? I always love a party!" **
** Mrugnak blinks and stops, looking blank, in a bovine sort of way, before grinning broadly and slamming his chair down. "Party! Yes, party good! Mrugnak like party too!" **
GM: Can everyone see the map?
** Mrugnak drops into the chair, which groans under his weight, and takes a big gulp of his beer. **
Singeon: "That is a rather realistic mask. How much you pay for it?
Mrugnak: (( I see it. ))
Singeon: ((aye))
Mrugnak: (( my facing appears to be upside down? ))
** Singeon grabs a cheek and tugs. "Did you glue it on?" **
Mrugnak: (( it points my back towards the mouse pointer ))
Wrathgon: man this does
Wrathgon: doesn't tell you when u msg are type
Singeon: ((right mouse click and flip it))
** Mrugnak jerks his head back and swats at Singeon's hands. "Ow! No do that!" **
Wrathgon: yea see tit
Singeon: "That's what you get for glueing that thing on."
GM: If you guys want to fight, just tell me so.
** Mrugnak frowns heavily, and leans over Singeon. "No do." He snorts, blowing beery breath at Singeon, and leans back again. **
Singeon: "Well, you enjoy a good ale, you can't be that bad. I'm Singeon, Extreme Swordsman, and this is my archer buddy, Thog."
Narrator: A jester performs unamusing pratfalls in the center of the room.
** Mrugnak grins, showing a lot of crooked yellow teeth, and thumps his free hand in the middle of his chest. "Mrugnak!" **
Wrathgon: "i can shoot when things are not so small, dump darts and dartboard
Singeon: "Bless you." Singeon hands him a napkin.
** Mrugnak takes the napkin and stares at it. **
** Singeon tells Thog to calm down. **
** Mrugnak sniffs at it, shrugs, and gives it back to Singeon. **
Singeon: "Nevermind then." Singeon puts the napkin down.
** Mrugnak looks around. "You say party. Where party?" **
** Singeon asks, "Here, celebrating our victory over the Caves of Chaos, er, Madness. I didn't get your name by the way." **
Wrathgon: What we waiting for? wasn't party in noble house?
Narrator: A group of nearly identical looking thugs approaches the delvers.
** Mrugnak squints at Singeon. "Mrugnak say. You ears OK?" **
** Mrugnak cocks his head to the side, trying to peer in Singeon's ear. **
GM: "Hey, human, what are you doing with these two monsters? You some kind of necromancer?"
** Singeon says, "Oh, Mrugnak. OK." **
Generic Monster: "Hey, monster-lover! You heard what I said!"
** Singeon stands on the bench, "I am Singeon, Extreme Swordsman, at your service friends." **
** Mrugnak looks up from peeking in Singeon's ear to stare at the thugs. "You not fun party." **
** Singeon says, "The monsters are no trouble. Perhaps if I buy you a drink." **
** Wrathgon gets up and looks around "Monsters where???" **
Generic Monster: "We aren't talking to you, bull-head. We're talking to the monster-lover. You like monsters?"
** Singeon says, "When they are pulling the arms off my enemies. Of course, accept the drink, be my friend and we can avoid such sadness." **
** Wrathgon looks at humans "I think human mothers birth more monsters than ogre ones" **
** Mrugnak frowns again. "Why no talk Mrugnak?" **
** Wrathgon laughs at his own joke **
Generic Monster: "A drink? We don't tolerate monsters around here." He looks at his friends, measures the odds. "We're the local Monster Exterminators. You owe us a lot more if you're going to let those two stink up our bar."
** Singeon says, "Funny, I didn't see a sign." **
Generic Monster: "A what?"
** Singeon says, "Tell you what, you want to see a monster look in that mirror behind the bar." **
** Wrathgon says "we can join you little band looks like you need help anyway" **
** Mrugnak frowns a little more. "Mrugnak no stink." **
** Mrugnak carefully puts his drink down on the table, and stands up. **
** Mrugnak bumps his horns on the ceiling. **
** Singeon says, "Calm, friends. **
** Mrugnak hunches a little, and looms at the lead thug. "Mrugnak no stink." **
Generic Monster: "There's no monsters in mirrors! Just two right here! Now are you going to pay up, or will we have to throw you and your monsters friends out of the bar?"
Generic Monster: "What?! Yes you do, you smelly bull!"
Wrathgon: me get tried of little man's talk go away now
Generic Monster: "The ditches you live you smell better than you!"
** Singeon says, "I think you all should leave. Just a warning." **
Generic Monster: "Naw-huh! You should leave! Or pay up!"
Wrathgon: [3d6] => [6,2,2] = (10) int check
Singeon: What is above us, GM?
GM: Yes, Thog is dumb.
GM: Okay the scene.
Wrathgon: :) doesn't understand insult heh
** Mrugnak sniffs at the thug critically. "Mrugnak no stink. Man stink." **
** Wrathgon he smell no worst then you humans **
GM: The Tavern of the Polisberg Inn is a large room. There's a bar running along the north wall. There's a half doze people in there, including the bartender and serving wenches.
Generic Monster: "Are you insulting me, cow-boy?"
Singeon: Any chandeliers, etc, for swashbucking?
Mrugnak: (( Debating class, general level... ))
GM: Certainly! Whatever you need. No bannisters, though - sorry. Anything else, just assume it's on hand and tell me where you want it.
** Wrathgon gets tried of this picks up a table and using it to swat the human talking **
GM: Or just note it on the map yourself.
GM: Okay, that's offensive... combat starts!
** Mrugnak scrunches up his face, and winds up for a punch, but is pre-empted by Thog! **

GM: There's, y'know, 9 of them.
Wrathgon: what that been talking to us
GM: That's RogueW1, who's 4 yards away. Out of each reach. You can either slam into him, or make a clumsy swing.

** Singeon says, "now take the mask off before we get into another fight!" **
** Mrugnak starts to pump Singeon's hand enthusiastically, then pauses, obviously perplexed. "Wat?" **
** Singeon looks closely, says, "Oh my, it's not a mask, you're a... minotaur?" **

GM: Okay, you sit down and chat for a while.
** Mrugnak rescues his poor, battered chair, and thumps it down next to Singeon. **
Singeon: "We can use that. We delve, for treasure, honor and... treasure. And more treasure."
** Mrugnak drapes an enormous arm companionably over Singeon's shoulders. "Mrugnak like treasure." **
GM: A day or two passes, filled with epic drinking contests and belching. Lots of broken furniture. The usual.
Singeon: Women?
Mrugnak: (( Ha, with Mrugnak and Thog as your wingmen? ))
Singeon: ((point well taken))
Wrathgon: lol
Narrator: Mid-afternoon. The tavern of the Polisberg Inn. Singeon is trying to teach knucklebones to Mrugnak while Thog eats a pig and whines about not being able to buy halfling.
Wrathgon: any ogre women :)
Singeon: Nice
** Singeon instructs, "Just roll, don't throw them. You almost took out my favorite eye." **
Mrugnak: "Mrugnak thing dis weird. Eat pig feet, not play wit'."
Narrator: A short human female with silvered black hair in long braid, wearing a purple robe with leopard print, approaches the table. Behind her is a non-descript man carrying a mop and bucket, and a handsome, dark skinned man carrying an ornate sword in a back sheathe. 
** Singeon gives a monging eye, looking over the sexy form of... the ornate sword. **
** Mrugnak says absentmindedly "No eat lady, Thog." **
Singeon: That was "longing eye."
Monks: "How you say? Excuse-me-a? I am called by the name of Li-Li. I has an asking for you?"
** Wrathgon looks up from pig "wat? **
Mrugnak: "Lady. No eat. Lady not for eat."
** Singeon stands and bows, "Singeon, master swordsmans, at your service." **
Wrathgon: pig me eat pig
Wrathgon: no lady
** Mrugnak pokes the carved bones, and then looks up. His ears perk up. "Hallo!" **
** Singeon shushhhs Thog **
** Wrathgon looks over here "no meat anyways" **
** Singeon shushhhs Thog **
Singeon: "What do you wish us to do?"
Monks: "Blessings of the spirits on this day, Singeon-master-swordsmans. You and your strange companions are greater brawlers, so I have heard."
** Mrugnak grins goofily. "Mrugnak strong!" **
Singeon: "we are conversant in the martial ways, m'lady."
Monks: "My students and I are far away from the Modern Jade Kwan. We seek practice. A friendly bout."
** Wrathgon looks at Singeon "we what to who?" **
Monks: The man with the sword steps forward, "Maybe some friendly wagering, too, yes yes?"
Wrathgon: "we already bout with little men crushed their bones, u want same?"
Singeon: "Of course. A wager puts the pressure on, good for practice."
Monks: "Injuries would be sadness, but accidents happen in training," says Li-li as she shoots the swordsman a look.
** Mrugnak scratches his head, rumpling his head-fur even more. "Wat? Who we hit?" **
Wrathgon: "me spend too much already" looks to singeon" we crushed lady skull now??"
** Mrugnak slaps Thog. "No eat lady!" **
Monks: "Though this should be fists and chi only, dai-oni! No spells!"
Mrugnak: *Thog's arm.
Singeon: "What are the ermsa of the contest?
Wrathgon: No eat just crushed
Singeon: terms,. i mean 
Monks: "Many apologies, I do not understand what you said."
Monks: "Oh, terms. Until no can stand any longer, or until contest no longer in doubt. But friendly - one against one, not a brawl."
Singeon: "Too much spicy food, sorry. The terms, fists only? My skills lie with the blade, friend."
GM: They confer briefly in a sing-song language you don't recognize. The man with the sword tugs on it, but does not draw it.
** Wrathgon comes over and stands in way of Singeon " talk to me not her, we crush their heads or no?" **
Singeon: "Not yet."
Wrathgon: "o ok" walks back to pig
Monks: Li-li speaks again. "We are best at fists. Blades are for war, not practice. So, if you would indulge? I will put Jian against you, and Wang Chung and I will deal with the oni." She bows to Mrugnak and Thog.
Singeon: "Say, how about you go fist with each of my friends, then bring that fine sword out to tangle with me to, say, first blood. You want to be prepared for war, that must be done in times of peace."
Monks: The man - Jian? - steps forward. "I cannot. You are no evil, and the sword will not let itself be drawn. It must be fists."
Singeon: ((wang chung??? How 80s))
Mark: ((Not my character!))
Mrugnak: (( Hee hee ))
Singeon: I never back down from a challenge. I accept.
Monks: Li-li frowns. "Well. Will you indulge us? I look forward to fighting this dai-oni."
Monks: "How fortunate!" They all bow. Jian talks briefly to the barkeep, and you are escorted to one of the side rooms.
Singeon: "But I do not speak for my friends."
Singeon: "You guys into it?"
Mrugnak: Comprehension dawns on Mrugnak's scarred face. "Ooooh! Mrugnak hit lady? Wat? Wait."
** Mrugnak crosses his arms. "No hit lady." **
Monks: "No, I'll fight you, bull-head," snarls the guy with the mop.
Mrugnak: "Oh."
** Mrugnak bares his teeth at the mop guy in what might be called a grin. "OK!" **
Narrator: The combatants move to the other room.
GM: Any questions before we start?
Singeon: What dictates a win?
** Wrathgon "we crush skulls now?" **
GM: HT damage or a pin, knock-out, broken limb, etc.
GM: time will be called at 9pm.
Singeon: Fine.
Mrugnak: (Central?)
Singeon: Lets go.
GM: 9 pm central of course.
Mrugnak: What about for those of us who's HT and HP are seriously out of whack?
GM: be healed!
GM: Sorry, HP damage, not HT damage. OF course.
Mrugnak: Ah, kay :D
** Mrugnak fixes his HP **
GM: you all nod at each other, and the fight starts.
Singeon: And the wager?
Mrugnak: "Feed Mrugnak one week!"
GM: 50 silver coins each
Wrathgon: brb
Singeon: Thats how much $?
