Okay. The world was maybe almost over. Topher was more than a little freaked.

So out came the dice and the cape, and after making a quick annoucement, he set up at a toadstool with some character sheets for some pre-apocalyptic Dungeons and Dragons.

Kid had priorities.

[[OCD is up! Yep, idea stolen from Buffy 7x22, "Chosen." Anyone can play, and if you want to ICly be talked into it, lemme know and I'll have Topher get naggy. I have an AIM chat for this if you wanna pop in -- rpwithinanrpyegods. Have fun!

OH, and a million thanks to glacial_witch, brat_intraining, harpy_daughter and most especially not_a_parakeet for humoring me and teaching me how this works. YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST AND I LOVE YOU.]]

Tavern: Get Your Mission

[dollpocalypse]

You're in a tavern when a sketchy-looking wizard tells you of an evil gnome king who's trapping people in hell. If you can bring him the gnome king's head, you get a reward.

...Topher writes what he knows, okay.

Feel free to react as your character and your character's character, either responding to the old wizard guy or to the other people in the tavern.

Deadpool renamed his characters has necessary. Because he had a pen and some swords if you wanted to argue the point.

And so, Dazzler the human bard and Wasp the half-Elf fighter were ready for action.

"Can I make them get drunk?" he asked as Jan lined up goldfish crackers on a toadstool. You could tell how into this game she was.

Topher sighed and leaned over. "What's your alignment?"

Tavern. Half-orc barbarian. Three intelligence. Jono was pretty certain his character wasn't capable of tying her own shoes.

... Except that she had seventeen dexterity. So perhaps she could tie them with her eyes closed. But only if she was trying to do something completely different, like use a can opener.

This game made his brain ache.

"Can Thorgabella just smash things?"

That seemed like a better plan.

"Wasp is totally down with that!" Deadpool chimed in for Jan. She was terribly busy, people.

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

"Can she? My character doesn't seem to be able to."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[angelo_wings]

"Your character's name is Thorgabella!??!"

Rinoa was focusing on the really important things, here.

"I'm going to stay here and drink," Tyrion decided. "I have money, and why would I want to make the followers of an evil gnome king angry?"

Someone hadn't paid much attention in hero school.

"Booo, start a bar fight like everyone else!"

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

"Because that's the game," Squall told him. "We're supposed to."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[angelo_wings]

"How do we know this wizard-guy is even telling the truth?" Rinoa asked. "Maybe he's a nice gnome king and this is all a big trap to make us hurt him unfairly. We should just refuse to go on principle unless someone's got evidence."

"Istroi isn't going to start a barfight," Natalie stated, side-eyeing the others. A little.

Especially you, Jan. You and your bows.

"He's gonna... I don't know. He'd want to know what the reward is."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Jan beamed over at her, offering a fist full of slightly crushed crackers. AS A REWARD.

"I order Binky a shot glass of ale," Jack said frowning at his character sheet. "I think that's the only amount of alcohol a gnome can handle."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[halfman-lion.livejournal.com]

"How tall is the gnome?" Tyrion wondered with a snort.

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

"This sheet says my dagger and bow don't do much damage," Squall said. He looked around at everyone else. "I hope the rest of you have something better to work with."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[whenshewasnice]

"I have a two-bladed sword," Natalie offered, consulting her sheet. "I guess that's good."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[angelo_wings]

"I'm a sorceress," Rinoa declared, in the least surprising news ever. "I could blow up the tavern."

Nobody had explained what "level 1" meant to Rinoa.

"Aethelreda walks into the tavern and demands good wine," Karla decided. "As part of the tithes the tavern owes to the local temple of the Order of the Golden Goddess."

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[whateverknight.livejournal.com]

"You can do that?" Squall asked, confused.

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[angelo_wings]

"Is that a cult?" Rinoa asked. "Do I get wine, if I join your cult?"

She'd left the religious line on her sheet blank. That could change!

Kitty so had no idea what she was doing.

"Okay, can Aaploe Egraa," she said, pronouncing it differently than she had the first time, "maybe ask what the reward is? Am I doing this right? Should I be barfighting?"

Re: Tavern: Get Your Mission

[angelo_wings]

"Are we supposed to say yes?" Rinoa asked. "I don't get it. Why wouldn't the wizard-guy go himself?"

This was going to be fun!

"Osteat is going to need some wine before deciding whether or not to go on this quest." The wine would help him decide whether or not he wanted to heal these people.

"Okay, so, wizard-guy, why aren't you going yourself?" Kenzi asked, thinking this was important. "Also, beer. Beer, beer, beer. For me and the wizard."
