Shake looks at the drunken reveler who shouted and laughs dismissively, before answering Talien with a twinkle in his eye. "Can't be the same, my friend. Plenty of ladies have called me a good fellow, but not one has ever mistaken me for a gentlemen." Shake marches up to Garon and orders ale for himself and Talien. When he gets the ale he passes one to Talien and says, "There you go. Have at it." Then he watches Talien curiously.

The man shouts, "Argh why'd we follo him ear if hes not gunna even buy uz a round! BOooOo!"
The crowd shouts, "BOooOo!" and begins to disperse back the way they came.
Talien drains his hixt round and turns to Shake and says, Is the drink supposed to do something? Is there a better one? Strong like me?
Shake turns to Garon. "You heard the ma... the strong machine man." Shake pats Talien affectionately on the back. "You know, this is one of the heroes who saved your city from certain destruction. Got anything that might put hair on his..." Shake looks towards Talien's chest then back at Garon with a manic grin and bulging eyes. "Got anything strong?"

"Hmm... well.. I'm not supposed to sell this and can't tell you where I got it, but we call it Ashardalon's Fire around here..." Garon says as he goes into the back room and returns with a ceramic jug.
He pours two glasses out in snifters and hands one to each of you... as you drink it.. Shake please make a CON saving throw.
@SDC @Shaz: There isn't a bathhouse in town - it's not quite big enough, so you just have access to the shared facility at the Old Boar Inn (your current lodgings). So, assuming this convo takes place, before you go to the General Store in which case message spell would work (provided that's the real Bozak). Rees is still talking to Bozak at this point...
Bozak's face suddenly furrows and he says rather audibly to Rees, "Your friends want me to say "babies".. not sure why they they are huddled over there whispering like children rather than approaching me.. slightly irritating, but I understand people in your line of work can be somewhat.. quirky. You must be slightly crazy to want to fight all sorts of monsters and trudge through grime and gore for a bit of gold".
"They wanted you to say babies?" Rees echoed, confused. "That is odd...but far from the most odd thing we've encountered recently. Did they say anything else?"
Unless I’ve missed something, I don’t think Alten went with Grom. I was working under the assumption that we were in the Inn and that’s where Alten bathed. I also thought I remembered that Grom had the wand. So at this point, I’m thinking that Message Codeword and the wand handoff & payment can happen either before or after Grom tales off to deal with dwarf business?

Shake rubs his hands together before throwing it back. Con = 20
It's spicy (like hot pepper spicy) and strong and burns on the way down, but your face amazingly doesn't portray any of those facts as you gulp it down like a champ.

Yeah, we'll go with after... He would have enough time while you were in the bath to go have his convo and return.

Garon seems impressed, "Another?"
Shake looks to Talien, "What do you think, buddy? Did you like that? Are you feeling anything? Should we have another?"
Talien tries to breathe fire into the air but it fails. He stares at the glass for a moment and says to Shake, But what is the purpose Shake? I don't see what the drink does for me...
Shake looks a little disappointed, "It's supposed to make you relaxed. It can also reduce some of your inhibitions and make you act silly. You don't feel anything different?"
Why do you need a drink to make you be what you want to be when you have that power at hand already? Maybe it is something I must experience myself to understand. Talien takes 2 more shots.

Next shot.. no problem... you kinda think you're getting the hang of this.. you get kinda warm and tingly. It makes you smile. You take the third and feel like your king of the world! - For a few minutes. But, then you start too loose what little inhibition you had as your thoughts begin to swirl... it's like everyone in the room has slowed down, but you're going normal speed? Or is it faster? You narrow your eyes to try to focus on Shake and what he's saying.. and he becomes clear again, but you lose focus on the rest of the room... weird.. it's like your in a tunnel or something.

Talien looks at the ale for a long few moments, then drains it all in one pull. He looks back at Shake and says, Now what do we do?

Shake downs his own drink and then says, "Now we drink another," before ordering another 2 drinks.
