Give Stella a pat and let's find out what all the commotion is about.
By the way, did we ever have an idea for a leash so we might take it out of her cage with it burrowing away?

>>16153325
Well, we haven't got plans for a leah yet, but we have a variety of pelts to make one from. There's the Cave Bas hide, the 2 Wild Boar pelts, and 5 Wolf pelts we bought from the three Gnolls.

We decide to pet Stella and gave her some dirt to much on in her cage, and invetigate the hubbub. It is quite the hubbub, however, as almost everyone is lining up in the main street, looking at something. For a brief glimpse you see the bar patrons, Llywelyn, Hertzog, and Dahlia along with the three Gnolls outside the bar, before your attention shifted to the group the crowd made way for.
There, in the middle of the street, talking to the Mayor is one well-muscled Gnoll, wearing a romanesque toga or dress. Right behind her is some kind of humanoid snake-thing, which you remember was called a Lizardfolk, and three women. You can tell from afar that all of them are excellent combatants. It seems like the Mayor is greeting them personally, and invites them to stay in the village for a while. The group heads to the village inn (right above the bar), and the three other Gnolls start to chatter amongst themselves.
Well, what do we do? This could be a chance to advertise ourselves.

>>16153364
Well, if they're staying at the inn, we might introduce ourself unobtrusively once the commotion has died down. I'm sure they'll at least need some thing repaired.
While waiting, have a chat with the rest of the gang. Do they have any idea if the mayor has need for the new group?

buuump for more readers.

>>16153411
You've picked a rather unfortunate time for the quest, it seems. May I suggest pausing the thread for a few hours?

>>16153404
You run across the street, and asked your gang.
"Hey guys! Who's the newcomers?"
"I heard they're some kind of gladiatorial fighters, man. Made it big in the capital." Dahlia answered.
"Why are they here, though?"
"Dunno, vacation maybe?" she replied, nonchalantly. Maybe you should ask Mayor Christophe directly for the big picture... or maybe there's another way?
Meanwhile, you notice the three Gnolls talking between themselves in Gnollspeak excitedly.
"Excited about the visitors, eh?" You smile.
"Ah, ah yesh! Shis bootiful!" Rugar spoke in broken Midlish.
"Yas, shi very bootiful, an, an good fait, too. Woud, woud liek to tich us fait. Yesh, we, we woud." Sajag continued.
OK, we could either ask the Mayor directly about the visitors, or get Dahlia to eavesdrop (she's a good rogue anyway), or ask the Gnoll trio to ask about her directly. That is, if we still want some info on them.
Decisions?

>>16153454
in a few hours I'll be sleeping soundly, dreaming about electric sheep. And not enough time tomorrow morning, gotta get my teeth checked and return all dem anime VCDs. By the time I'm done with my errands it's probably sleepytime for you guys.
We still got... about 2 hours tops.

>>16153505
Dang. Well, nothing we can do about it.

>>16153486
Let's have Dahlia try to make herself useful. If she screws up, we can still have the gnolls ask directly.

>>16153530
Think of it this way: a reply every 5 minutes still nets us about 24 more replies. That's enough for archivin'!

You ask Dahlia to eavesdrop on the group.
"Hey Dahlia, why don't you go listen in on them?"
"Why should I?" Dahlia replied, with a sour face.
"These 5 Sc, if you get info from them. Enough?"
Dahlia's face brightened considerably. "You bet I will!"
The crowd's dispersing already, and most of the bar patrons have returned inside. You also decide to go in and have a drink to wait on Dahlia.
Roll 1d20 to see how Dahlia gets her info!

>>16153583
>>16153585
>>16153586
Hehehe. I'll treat it like an Extended Action.

After waiting some time, you hear a commotion from above. Shouts like 'Get that thief!' and 'Is that my panties?' could be heard. Then a bit of silence... and Dahlia comes down from the stairs. There's some grab marks on her arm that you can see while she approaches you.
"Well, where's that 5 Sc?"
"Not before you tell me about what just happened."
"Okay, so I snuck into their room, and tried to look for info. There's no panties involved, not one bit."
"Allright, now you're just fibbin'. No 5 Sc fo y-"
"Okay okay! I tried to steal panties, but I was found out early, okay? So anyways, I said I was a hardcore fan of them..."
"And then?"
"Well, thankfully they bought it, and I get introduced to them. The Gnoll's name is G. Neutered, prolly a stage name. She's their leader of sorts. There's also Ss... Slicks, that's the Lizardfolk, and the other three's Septimia, Antonina, and Eunice. From what I can gather, they're just on vacation, though after asking Eunice, she says she doesn't know why they're vacationing here of all places."
"Slicks, eh? Isn't your name Kendall- whoops, Dahlia Slicks? Family connection?"
"Aw come on! That 5 Sc better not be empty promise!" She pouts.
You snicker as you give her the 5 Sc.
So, what now? Do we talk to them? Seems like they're coming down to the bar right now.

>>16153667
Let's see if we can chat them up. Welcoming them to the city and all that. I'm sure the others in our group are interested in them as well.

>>16153691
You see as the group goes down the staircase, and prepares to greet them... when the Gnoll trio greets GNeutered first, clamoring in Gnollspeak with her. She smiles, then picks up Truro like a log. She spins him above her head, and puts him aside, and spoke in Gnollspeak to the three of them, smiling the Gnollish smile. The Gnoll trio then squees like some fangirls while she looked across the room and found a seat to sit... right beside you.
"Hello, Quin Smithsson." She spoke Midlish flawlessly. "Dahlia told me about you, and how you're the best blacksmith around here."
Her troupe, meanwhile, found an empty table, across where Llywelyn, Dahlia and Hertzog was sitting.
Dangit Dahlia!
What now? What do we talk about?

>>16153725
"I'm flattered, but I've got to admit that I'm also the only smith around here."

Let's see, ask her why she chose to come to our town, how long they're planning the stay, if we can help them in any way and where they are coming from/going to.

>>16153750
"I'm flattered, but I've got to admit that I'm also the only smith around here."
She smiles. "Ah, but I see you've got some influence here, no doubt."
"That's what they say. Anyway, I heard you and your group is on a vacation, eh? But why this village?"
"Hm, I see that you are smart, too. For the girls, maybe it's a few weeks of rest and a breath of fresh air here, but for me, it's not this village that I want to visit."
"What do you mean?"
"Further north of here is where I want to go."
You then remember that there's a Gnoll village north of the woods up north, where the Gnoll trio came from.
"You mean, you were-"
"Yeah. Vacation for them, homecoming for me."
"I see... by the way, anything I could do for you? Y'know, since you're here and all?"
"Well, maybe I do need some people to guard me when I'm going to my village. I haven't been to those neck of the woods for a long time. And oh! Maybe there are some pieces of armor I want you to make, maybe for a souvenir or something."
The two of you then talk about each other's background, while the Gladiatrixes talk with your adventurer friends.
Anything else you want to talk about with GNeutered? Or maybe introduce them to the sport of Ale Battle, like you did with Llywelyn?

>>16153817
>talk about with GNeutered

What was her village like when she left? Did she know our parents?

>sport of Ale Battle
Well, let's ask if they're interested. If we do this then somebody should be staying sober and keep an eye on Dahlia. I doubt anybody wants to wake up next to her.

>>16153873
You inquire further about her childhood, and any recollection of our parents. She spent most of her time in the Gnoll village, until she went out to see the world. Along the way, she got caught by slavers, and was bought and trained as a Gladiatrix. The rest, they say, was history.
(http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=gladiatrix)
She didn't seem to know of your parents, by the way. Oh well. You then motion your friends to come over, and introduce her to GNeutered. Of course, before you mentioned it, Llywelyn decides that they should have an Ale Battle tournament. You whisper to Hertzog, who is going to serve as judge, to keep an eye on Dahlia in case she got drunk... or if anyone else falls drunk near her. He smiles.
After a short straw-pulling, the initial pairings go like this:
You vs Eunice
Dahlia vs Septimia
Llywelyn vs Slicks
GNeutered vs Antonina
Roll 3d20 to determine the first bout of drinking! One for you, one for Dahlia, and one for Llywelyn!

rolled 20, 5, 7 = 32

>>16153983
After the first round of drinks...
Eunice can't hold it in, and falls under the table, drunk. You, however, drank your ale like it's water. Refreshing!
Dahlia almost slumped, but regains her footing for the second drink. It looks like Septimia is also in a similar fashion.
Llywelyn manages to hold her drink, as do Slicks. It's 50/50.
GNeutered also takes the drink easily, while Antonina seems to be a bit drunk.
Okay, three more d20s! Next round of drinks!

Llywelyn seems to be on a roll.

>>16154033
>>16154052
While you wait for your next opponent, you see that Dahlia falls under the table, while Septimia regains control of her body. Llywelyn, however, beat Slicks on the second drink, and so did Antonina, much to everyone's suprise.
The second round would be:
You vs Septimia
Llywelyn vs Antonina
Roll 2d20s for the chuggin'!

Woah, good rolls there guys. Llywelyn seems to win this one easy, as Antonina have had too much drink from her previous match. But your match's not over yet, as Septimia seems to be able to hold her own against you.
1d20 for the last ale between you two!

rolled 13, 1 = 14

Bottom's up.

rolled 16, 1 = 17

>>16154161
That was supposed to be 1, just count the 13.

>>16154164
>>16154165
Indeed, your stomach is as strong as your smithing arm, as Septimia falls under the table. Hertzog is watching the next match closely, because if Llywelyn gets too drunk, well... let's say it'll be a repeat of the meeting between you two.
"Bloody hell, Quin, it's like we're having a rematch or something."
"Ha ha! You still remember, huh?"
"Us Artheran elves remember everything, even when we're drunk! Remember?"
The last battle is on! It seems like one round of alening is all we need, since both of you are tipsy from the previous ales.
1d20...

rolled 14 = 14

>>16154208
Welp.

rolled 5 = 5

>>16154208
I'm okay with a repeat performance.

rolled 19, 2 = 21

>>16154208

>>16154215
>>16154219
It seems like it's a repeat performance. We managed to stay sober... sober enough, anyway. Llywelyn, however, have drunk herself under the table. Now you have to watch out for her 'outburst'... speaking of watching, you've realized, drunkenly, that Dahlia's arm is moving about. Near Septimia's hips. Dammit Dahlia, what are you up to now?
Okay, I think it's late enough, and it's archived at sup/tg/.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/16153302/
Remember, you're all a cool and awesome bunch! Except the trolls, but they can just suck it and deal with it. Ha!

See you another time, y'all!

rolled 16, 8 = 24

>>16154262
Excellent. Hope we'll get more players next time.
