That is a band, not a singer, care to try again??

I am not sure where everyone is, I was beginning to think it was me, *sniffs his arm again* but I had my bath this morning.

With all the crazy things happening here at the Green Dragon's Inn, could you blame people for going into hiding? Especially when right outside the gates to the town a world of trouble is coming. Barbus and I spent the night taking pot-shots at orcs trying to hold them back.

Don't mention it.

Hey, where is the juice and cookies? I donated! Not even a lollipop, or a sticker, humph.

Stabbs a chopstick into a piece of fish left over from dinner, baby want a lollie?

Shut up fool, I was only kidding, gimmie dat.

Yes, at times like these, she will need to feed more often to maintain her strength, and since she feeds off of animals, rather than humans, she may want to think about becoming a "big game" hunter. Hopefully not if Barbus's blood works.

She and I had discussed this as a therory when I had arrived here two weeks ago, but, I didn't think that we would have to test it in such short notice, I was meaning to talk this over with Barbus before we went through with anything.

My hypothesis was for her to feed off of an immortal more powerful than her master, and it is my assumption that the winged one here may be just. She could have fed off of me, but, I fear that I am not much of a man of strength, she had to find someone that is powerful to draw from.

Your link to your master must be broken, for if he dies, so do you, remember what I told you about vampires? *draws a dagger and cuts Barbus with it*

What the hell was that for you psychopath!

Quit your whining, not like you could bleed to death.

Whining? I am not whining, but first explain yourself before you just slash away at me.

The blood on this dagger may be powerful enough to break the link between her and her master, I must give it to her before it dries, otherwise it would be no good. If she were to feed off of you directly, you could become a vampire too if your blood is weaker than her masters, so I am not taking any chances.

Hell, that little drop is not going to be enough, gimmie a glass, I might as well fill 'er up as long as I am bleeding here. *takes a glass from the table and starts bleeding into it. (Barbus's blood appears white and glowing)*
Bottoms up kid, lets hope this works.

Voices are heard coming up the stairs from the basement.

You would think, they would have at least put bars over the windows down there, even I could crawl through to steal the ale, or worse, kill the occupants inside after they lock up for the night.

Good thing you stopped to install them, whomever tries to get in now will be in for a shock.

Lightning for bars, I think they will be in for more than a shock. Muahahaha

Woah, what have we here? Young lady, are you alright? (sees the freshly bandaged Az.)

Barbus, take me through the inn, I want to see every room, including the basement, I want to see every point, so I know every weak point so I know where the evils may want to enter, so we could fortify the tavern.


*Barbus and Ifritius head for the basement, and start inspecting the tavern*

*sniffs his arm* Barbus is wondering if there is something about him that is causing people to leave.

you could have sent a pidgeon, they find whomever they are sent after.

Aww, it happens, don't worry about it.

*pulls out a magic wand and (flash) he is clean as if nothing everh happened, and the meal is on the table like it was just placed nicely*

Brews' good
Candy is dandy, but Liquer is quicker.

Fish is good, as long as it is cooked, Ifritius and I were on some island where they left it uncooked and wrapped in a leaf with rice, eew.

Yeah, that was gross, I do not recommend it raw.

how about a drink? for me and everyone? Drinks and meals are on me tonight!!

Barbus and Ifritius re-enter the tavern, and seek out a corner table, to finsih their discussion about the kidnapping, and the failure of the protection spell.

I don't care Ifritius, I am not leaving here to teach at my school as long as bad things are happening here, I shall defend this establishment til the last drop of my blood.

This is not your fight, why are you so concerned about what happens in a small-town tavern?

In my many years, I have never found any place where I was so well recieved, and where the people who frequent here put their differences aside and just cut loose and enjoy themselves, and when a time of need comes, they have eachother's back, like I got theirs by being here, where I am needed. Had I been here, there wouldn't be a headstone out front with my blood on it. Had I been here, a second death could have been prevented, and finally, had I been here, an innocent baby would not have been lost.

You big bastard, you are going soft on me, you have changed. But, no matter, if you feel that strongly about this place, I too will help protect it. You know I always had your back.

Soft? I watch what I eat, look at my gut, no pudge.

You know what I mean jackass.

Hey Calli, how about a drink sweetie?

Barbus and Ifritius walk in the front door of the Green Dragon's Inn, laughing back and forth about something.

Could you believe the look on that guy's face?

Oh yeah, I'll bet he'd never do that again. Come on, One man against 10 orcs, who does he think he is?

Right, I could see one man against 3 maybe, but come on, what was he trying to prove? And to go in bare handed? He deserved everything he got. Muahahaha

hahahha Next time he tries, he'd be going in no handed.

No handed, funny, you might say he would be going in "unarmed" muahahahaha Looked like them orcs were trying to split a wishbone. muahahahaha

That is why man invented the bathroom beast, you better not be leaving messes on my floor *chuckles*
