HF 032 Tiamat's Tavern

[10/28/2016 9:05:46 PM] Josh: You guys enter and...you know the cantina scene in A New Hope...yeah...it's like that.

[10/28/2016 9:05:59 PM] Creed: Upon entering the Tavern, Creed will find a nice spot near the bar and sit to observe.

[10/28/2016 9:06:46 PM] Josh: Roll me some perception checks, and, if you are trained in it, religion checks.

[10/28/2016 9:08:01 PM] Josh: Ok, Hank, you take in a greater sense of danger, but Creed, you realize first why.  You are surrounded by demons.

[10/28/2016 9:09:17 PM] Creed: "Oh, well this is certainly different."

[10/28/2016 9:09:52 PM] Hank: Different , dangerous whatever you want to call it.

[10/28/2016 9:10:06 PM] Creed: "We've been in worse situations, Hank."

[10/28/2016 9:10:10 PM] Josh: With the exception of the band who sees you walk in, looks worried and keeps playing, you see some of the most powerful, ancient and deadly demons in the abyss...and a strange, pale, raven-haired beautiful woman serving drinks at the bar in the center.   She is dressed in a thin, slinky black dress that just barely constitutes as more than lingerie.

[10/28/2016 9:10:58 PM] Creed: Can I roll insight to see if any of these demons look familiar?

[10/28/2016 9:11:03 PM] Creed: From stories or such?

[10/28/2016 9:11:16 PM] Josh: That'd be religion, which you rolled already.

[10/28/2016 9:11:18 PM] Josh: And some do.

[10/28/2016 9:11:34 PM] Josh: For instance, you know this guy is the Demogorgon:

[10/28/2016 9:11:57 PM] Josh:

[10/28/2016 9:11:58 PM] Hank: ((Are we getting any threatening looks?))

[10/28/2016 9:12:09 PM] Josh: Are you trying to stay hidden?

[10/28/2016 9:12:31 PM] Creed: I'm trying to just blend with the crowd.. Purple skin.. horns.. tail

[10/28/2016 9:13:28 PM] Josh: Roll stealth.

[10/28/2016 9:13:38 PM] Creed: ((20))

[10/28/2016 9:14:05 PM] Josh: Creed is blending in pretty well...Hank...is getting some looks.  Not many, but some.

[10/28/2016 9:14:42 PM] Hank: So are we looking for anything in particular Creed?

[10/28/2016 9:16:08 PM] Creed: "No, it's a tavern, what would we look for? We're not hunting for anyone. I just wanted to check the place out, see how their drinks were."

[10/28/2016 9:16:17 PM] Creed: "I've never been here, I don't know about you."

[10/28/2016 9:16:37 PM] Hank: (( is there anyone that looks like an ordinary mortal?))

[10/28/2016 9:17:03 PM] Josh: There's the woman at the bar in the slinky dress.  And there's the bards on stage.

[10/28/2016 9:17:26 PM] Josh: A couple of dragon men (not dragonborn, different, somehow) are drinking at a table.

[10/28/2016 9:18:15 PM] Hank: Well fine then should we order a drink and see what weird alcohol they serve here?

[10/28/2016 9:19:44 PM] Josh: As you approach, you see one of the demons.  He has purple skin, strange ears and each hand has six fingers.

[10/28/2016 9:20:03 PM] Creed: "Of course."

[10/28/2016 9:21:05 PM] Josh: You see another that looks like a sentient oil slick with eyes.

[10/28/2016 9:21:25 PM] Josh: As it drinks, you see the drink swirl into it's inky black form.

[10/28/2016 9:21:34 PM] Creed: Creed taps on the bar counter.

[10/28/2016 9:21:59 PM] Josh: The woman looks over at you, she has these green, piercing eyes.

[10/28/2016 9:22:07 PM] Josh: She smiles at the both of you.

[10/28/2016 9:22:13 PM | Edited 9:22:23 PM] Josh: Woman: "Why, hello."

[10/28/2016 9:22:33 PM] Josh: Woman: "What may I offer you?"

[10/28/2016 9:22:46 PM] Creed: "Hello there, we were wondering what the drink specials would be for this place?"

[10/28/2016 9:23:50 PM] Josh: Woman: "We have a Fireball special, with an...explosive finish.  The Necter of Eros for those looking for something sweeter...and...for the truly daring...my special screwdriver."

[10/28/2016 9:24:47 PM] Creed: "I'm particularly daring."

[10/28/2016 9:26:11 PM] Hank: I will try the screwdriver as well.

[10/28/2016 9:26:58 PM] Josh: She pours two of those drinks, they are a neon green color.  She adds tiny umbrellas.  Roll me perception checks.

[10/28/2016 9:27:29 PM] Hank: ((14 ))

[10/28/2016 9:27:35 PM] Creed: (( 6 ))

[10/28/2016 9:28:34 PM] Josh: Creed, you sense nothing wrong.

[10/28/16, 9:28:47 PM] Hank: How many of these do you usually sell in a day?

[10/28/16, 9:29:03 PM] Josh: Woman: "Oh, these are very popular."

[10/28/16, 9:29:17 PM] Josh: Woman: "I offer them to anyone who walks in."

[10/28/16, 9:29:59 PM] Creed: "Because they aren't demons, or because you're just that nice?"

[10/28/16, 9:30:50 PM] Josh: Woman: "Care to find out?"

[10/28/16, 9:31:02 PM] Creed: "I'm sure it's a mix of both, one way or another."

[10/28/16, 9:31:37 PM] Hank: Hank will drink.

[10/28/16, 9:31:48 PM] Creed: Creed 's eyes flash their flash

[10/28/16, 9:36:39 PM] Hank: AGH.  Burning Hot.

[10/28/16, 9:37:02 PM] Josh: Hank, your skin is starting to crawl now.  Like...you can see it changing.

[10/28/16, 9:37:05 PM] Hank: Hank leaps up trying to claw his skin off.

[10/28/16, 9:37:21 PM] Josh: The bar bursts into laughter.

[10/28/16, 9:39:02 PM] Creed: "Oh for-.."

[10/28/16, 9:39:12 PM] Hank: So..ow .. ow .. how long .. does this last?

[10/28/16, 9:39:17 PM] Creed: Creed sighs, she looks frustrated

[10/28/16, 9:39:50 PM] Josh: The woman's face gets scaly and snake like, and you (that is Hank, Creed's eyes have gone glassy) see four more reptilian heads forming out her shoulders.

[10/28/16, 9:40:06 PM] Josh: Tiamat: "You mortals should know better than to come in here!  HAHAHAHAHA!"

[10/28/16, 9:40:24 PM] Creed: Creed proceeds to take the drink

[10/28/16, 9:40:42 PM] Creed: "I told you I'm a daring person, why wouldn't I?"

[10/28/16, 9:40:46 PM] Hank: Hank is unssummoning and summoning Kai

[10/28/16, 9:41:01 PM] Hank: Hank knocks the drink away from Creed.

[10/28/16, 9:41:09 PM] Josh: Kai appears in the room.  Creed, you feel a burning, and Hank, you see her skin is shifting, like yours.

[10/28/16, 9:42:04 PM] Hank: Hank grabs Creed gets on Kai and gets out of the demonbar.

[10/28/16, 9:43:39 PM] Creed: Creed sighs

[10/28/16, 9:45:25 PM] Hank: Fine , we made a mistake . Why not just let us leave then.

[10/28/16, 9:45:49 PM] Creed: "So much for a Tavern for fiends."

[10/28/16, 9:45:56 PM] Josh: You guys ride out, you're out.

[10/28/16, 9:45:59 PM] Josh: No one stopped you.

[10/28/16, 9:46:46 PM] Hank: Hank heads to Mages Guild

[10/28/16, 9:47:05 PM] Creed: "Hank, I don't know what's happening but your horse doesn't feel very solid anymore."

[10/28/16, 9:47:57 PM] Hank: He also seems bigger.  Look we just have to make it to the rest of the group.

[10/28/16, 9:48:13 PM] Josh: Hank, when you turn around, you can see through Creed.  Literally.

[10/28/16, 9:49:00 PM] Hank: ((Can I grab on to her?))

[10/28/16, 9:49:49 PM] Josh: You reach out for her, and your hand grips something...but it's not totally solid.  It's like holding smoke or water.

[10/28/16, 9:50:04 PM] Josh: And your hands, seeing them, seem slimmer and daintier.

[10/28/16, 9:50:31 PM] Hank: Hank will try lay on hands on Creed.

[10/28/16, 9:50:54 PM] Josh: ((Let me look up Lay On Hands))

[10/28/16, 9:51:30 PM] Hank: ((Is Creed fading or staying same consistency?))

[10/28/16, 9:51:37 PM] Josh: ((She's fading))

[10/28/16, 9:51:55 PM] Josh: ((And sadly, Lay On Hands does nothing.  What direction are you headed in?))

[10/28/16, 9:52:47 PM] Hank: ((mages guild))

[10/28/16, 9:52:52 PM] Josh: Ok.

[10/28/16, 9:53:11 PM] Josh: Kai's wings come out and he zips you over.

[10/28/16, 9:53:30 PM] Hank: ((Lesser restoration on Creed?))

[10/28/16, 9:54:11 PM] Josh: ((Well...that cures her blindness, but she is still fading))

[10/28/16, 9:54:19 PM] Josh: Good news, Creed, you see your body disappear.

[10/28/16, 9:54:31 PM] Josh: And you find you have to grip much tighter to stay on.

[10/28/16, 9:54:50 PM] Creed: Can.. I roll something to stop it?

[10/28/16, 9:55:12 PM] Josh: No.

[10/28/16, 9:55:28 PM] Josh: And we're back in the main chat.
