Vixia The Wealthy And Righteous Swords

The Half-elf smiles and pulls his hands up balled up to fight.

(OOG- so here is how we are going to do the fight because of not wanting it to take for ever in PBP, I am going to roll 3 checks 5 times, and Mia will do the same, the three checks are str, dex, and con.  each round of checks will be won or lost best of three, the fight will be won best of the 5 checks, if we tie them we will then roll a 6th round of checks.)

Str 18 Dex 18 Con 17

Str 2 Dex 16 Con 7

Str 10 Dex 5 Con 4

Str 6 Dex 8 Con 18

Str 13 Dex 6 Con 14

Seeing Mia prepare to have a fight, Bones shakes his head and finds a quiet corner to sit and continue to read his books, looking up occasionally at the fight to see if Mia is done.

Mia would mirror with her own fists.

Str: 11 Dex: 21 Con: 21 

Str: 23 Dex: 17 Con: 8 

Str: 18 Dex: 3 Con: 12 

Str: 6 Dex: 10 Con: 4 

Str: 8 Dex: 9 Con: 14 

The first minute of the fight looks like everything is going the Half-elf's way, but Mia reaches down in side and with the guidence from her god changes the pace of the fight, and over the next 3 minutes she is in controle of the fight, there is a short point in 3 or so minutes into the fight where the Half-elf starts to show a little resolve almost as if the hits have stopped hurting him.  Mia if you want to point out any highlights and how you finish the fight.

Thinking of his companions, Talinian sends Baltor to find them, keep an eye on them.

”I’ll go with you, thanks.” He says

The first minute Mia would spend learning her opponent, then she fell into a rhythm. Trading off a few jabs with the guard, she’d start to put some weight behind her punches. Using the momentum of her throws, Mialee would attempt a grapple. With a grin on her face, her overconfidence turned on her when the half-elf would counter. He had a good grip on her, but as his confidence grew, Mia slipped out. With a grunt, Mia would slip around, kicking the guard at the back of the knees to bring him down into a rear chin lock for a final submission. 

As the half-elf submits the crowd losses it, Fortshaker comes out the the ring and raises Mia's hand.  "Good fight."  He speaks with a slow southern draw, which points out a hand full of different possable home lands. 

The Goblin speaks with a more slimmy voice.  "Thats the night! NOW LETS DRINK!!!"  The crowd all starts walking in the back door of the tavern, Fortshaker does not let go of Mia's arm but rather drags her in, he slams his hand on the bar top.

"Three drinks." The half-giant orders.

The bar keep brings down three mugs each different sizes, Fortshaker takes the smallest one and hands it to the goblin, then the medium one and hands it to Mia.

Bones and Talinian did research their way. Hers was a little more hands on.

Mia would offer a free hand when possible to give her opponent a help up, if he’d take it. It was an enjoyable fight and she shared respect for the guard, offering him a nod. She’d even try to gesture to invite them to come a drink as well, even if it was for later. The warrior would make sure to grab her gear as she gets tugged away.

There was no struggle against the goliath leading her away. A chuckle would leave her lips as Fortshaker manhandles her into the bar. Mialee would playfully reach for the large mug in jest before accepting the medium size that was handed to her. She’d nod, lifting her mug to the half-giant.

Insight: 12 Checking for any malice and what their impression of her may be. Were they amused? Impressed? Intimidated? 

The guard would accept the help up and walk a little slower and behind the three of you.

Fortshaker would laugh a little before clanking mugs with Mialee, then down it in one drink, the goblin sips slowly keeping a watchfull eye, not of just you but of everything, any noise that was slightly louder than eveything else he would turn and look, if you felt a breeze his eyes were already locked on where it came from.

As you finish your drink the guard comes over to you with two mugs, he hands one to you and says "Good fight." his voice is raspy, he then takes a large drink from his mug and he hold his drink in his mouth for a while and takes a long time to finish drinking it.  Once his breaths he speaks again, this time a little less raspy, "Enjoy your night." and he walks off.

The vibe that your getting from everyone is a combination of all three things that you sad, the true fight fans, and other fighters were amused or impressed with the display, the vampires that were watching were impressed.  Those who were casual fight fans and some of the lower fighters were intimidated, not in a threating way, but more in a hey we better stay out of her way.

Do you stay and drink more Mia?

Bones what are you doing?

Just to give a time hack, right now Thomas has started training but no where near done yet.

Bones continues to read, but keeps an eye out for Mia, making sure she's not leaving without him or getting into trouble... well, any more trouble.

Mia would cheers with shared enthusiasm with the Fortaker. She’d enjoy her ale with the goliath and his shoulder companion as she observed the room. Her body language would relax when she wouldn’t sense any malice. That doesn’t mean she’d let her guard down. Mind you, she appreciated the goblins diligence. The warrior wondered if she could learn their name, and she was curious about the pairs story.

When the guard would approach with a fresh ale, Mialee would offer a genuine smile as she accepted the mug. “Good fight.” She’d return the compliment offering to clink mugs before taking her own drink. “Mialee.” She’d introduce herself with another handshake, hoping to get the guards name. If he’d take her hand again, Mia would channel some of her lay on hands to mend some wounds she inflicted. He was welcomed to enjoy another drink with her if he wanted, but she understood if he had to move on for the evening. With a dip of her head, she’d wish the fellow half-elf a good night.

Spotting Bones close by, Mia would remain to enjoy another ale. She’d lend a humble ear to the crowd, listening for any local rumours, stories, and/or heroic tales.

"I go by Lem, I have shift at first light, so this one and I am done." he answers while shaking hands, his voice gets better as he is speaking and you're healing.  Do you try talking with Fortshaker and the Goblin? Ask them their story and names?

(Yes)

"Wins, is the name." The Goblin would offer, "My big friend here goes by Fortshaker.  We meet here, together I had been here maybe a month when Fortshaker came to us.  Now my old tribe we lived about a two or three hour walk from a human village, our ancestors were in a war with the human village, then one day Klizz the wise sat down with a few goblins and humans and talked about why we were warring. He managed to talk some of the goblins into a better way of life.  The war quickly shifted, and we won.  Now from what we are told at first it was not an easy change for everyone, but now we live in harmony, of course there are goblins who don't like specific humans, and humans who don't like specific goblins, but as a whole the humans don't fear us, and we don't hate the humans.  Were better than other goblin tribes.  Granddaddy always told me, find the biggest human and be their friend, I always follow that advice.  Bryer was his name, and he talked me into leaving to go adventure, let me tell you what a culture shock it was to be feared and looked down on.  Anyways, after a few years of adventuring Bryer and a few others we worked with went after this vampire who was outright attacking villages, we lost the battle but the dick must have seen use for me, because he brought me back.  That was a long and hard 12 years, but finally The Unwanted Blood came I was out when they arrived and got back while they were picking up from the battle, and threw myself at their mercy.  Fortshaker here was a wandering sell sword, he didn't like his story being told." The Goblin stops talking, kisses the galioth on the cheek then continues.  "So when he came in I remembered what granddaddy said, and I befriended him, and things just grew from there."

Baltor flys a bit looking for the party but is unable to find them, for a bit, then he flys to the tavern where he had seen people drinking and looked inside, there they were.  Oddly enough that is the same direction that Thomas is leading you guys.  Baltor even see Asher in there, sitting at a table with a dwarf, covered in blood, and a broken noise.

Bones what are you doing?

Now that the fights seem to have finished for the night and Mia is enjoying a drink, Bones puts his books away so that the rabble don't spill their drinks on them and makes his way to the door. He stands just inside the door and watches, both Mia and for Talinian, hoping his learned friend comes soon and that he can get out of the crowd.

“It was a pleasure, Lem.” Mia would nod her head to the guard with a smile. “I’d welcome a rematch any time.” If Lem would desire to take his leave before the conversation with the Goblin and the Goliath, Mialee would wish him a warm farewell. “May our paths cross again. Til then, take care.”

Once her ale as done with Lem, she’d turn her attention back to the Goblin and Fortshaker. Mia would accept her 3rd mug of the night as Wins introduce themselves and Fortshaker. She listen contently to the story Wins shared with her, nodding here and there to show she was paying attention. It was an interesting tale, but sounded very genuine. It was sweet too, offering a polite smile at the sweet gesture of affection. So when Wins did mention that Fortshaker doesn’t like his story being told, Mialee respected that. She’d lift her mug to him with a nod of understanding. The warrior never pried and appreciated what was shared with her. “Thank you for sharing your tale. You’ve endured an interesting path, but I believe you may have gained plenty in bond.” There was a genuine smile as she’d nod to Wins and Fortshaker.

After being in the Tavern for less than an hour, about the same time that Wins finishs his story is when Talinian walks in the Tavern with Thomas, Bones being at the door would see the pair walk in, Mia would also see them come in mostly due to the fact that Wins would be looking that way when the door opens up.  Thomas scans the room before seeing Asher and the Dwarf, with a tap at Talinian and a point to Asher Thomas would go and take a seat with the two.  The table that they are sitting at has plenty of open space for everyone to take a seat.

Quote from SpieltJoos >>

While the spectacle is going on in front of them, Bones sides up next to Talinian and leans in to quietly talk to him. "I think you may have some issues close to home, my friend. I managed to convince Ingon to give me two of Mayor Raymond's books. One was his where he tried to copy spells into. The other indicates it is from your school." Bones takes a moment for that to sink in and looks around to make sure no one is watching them closely, "This may not be the place to discuss at length, but... I thought you should be aware at least. I'd like to copy the spells at some point, but..." he shrugs.

 Bones will pull Talinian to the side before they sit down and relay his concerns (previous post above).
