[Angoreth]

"AH,I see. no offence taken" she said taking another drink of her ale.

[Oren]

*A bear arrives at the door. It changes form into a human lady with black hair and emerald green eyes. She frowns and walks in, sitting at one of the bar stools*
Could I get a drink... anything will do....
*puts her head in her hands*

[Kellivara]

*gets up, now completely un-concerned with the cheery elves, walks across the room, and sits next to Oren* "Are you OK?? You look a little down..."

[Angoreth]

Lamerend turns to malazac. " do you have room's in this inn, and how much for night?".takes another drink of ale.

"Does any one know how much an inn costs in this place" she politly, while she turned looking around.

[Kellivara]

Aye, I'll order another one too:D

[Angoreth]

"o.k. thank you "*she bowed her head then took a drink of her ale*

[Mr. G. greymane]

*Man walks in, heavily cloaked and beard tucked into his belt. sits down takes out pipe.* " smoking allowed?"

[Theoden_king]

*theoden walks into the inn, he looks around, then takes a seat at the bar "could I trouble you for an ale?" he asks the bartender then looks around to see who else is at the bar

[Angoreth]

"Hello" she waved at the new comers,May I introduce every one.The two people over there looking a bit down Is, Kellivara and oren. My friend next to me is Omnipotent_elf and I am Angoreth silver leaf but just call me Angoreth, or silver I don't care. Who may I ask are you my be good sir's?"She said as she looked at thoeden king and mr. G. greymane. " I think smoking is allowed and if you get in trouble say it was my fault" she said as she smiled.

[Oren]

-she nods her head as Angoreth points to her.-
Well, it is a bar... I imagine it would be allowed...
-She then bows her head again, thinking-

[Theoden_king]

"Hello Omnipotent_elf, Kellivara, oren and Angoreth. I am Theoden it is a pleasure to meet you all"

[omnipotent_elf]

[Theoden_king]

"Hello malazac" Theoden sat down and drank his ale, then he lit his pipe "I have never met a king of dragons so friendly" He said to Malazac "or prehaps I am under some spell" he said with a smile

[malazac]

where i come from we do not think people as food all people are welcome in my land as for magic dragons need this not but there are some who use it

[Angoreth]

" ello theoden"said famrill with a smile" malazac is very nice"she said as she lifted her ale to him"but I dont think you should sit in front of him in case he sneezes"she said with a smile.

[Theoden_king]

"yes I can see that could cause somewhat of a problem" Theoden said laughing "Altough I think I will take my chances" He said as he blew smoke rings throughout the inn.

[malazac]

malazac finds this very funny lololololololololololololololololololol well this is nice

[Angoreth]

" may I have another ale" she said as she leant behind the bar to see if the keeper was hiding." now where did our bar-keeper get off to?" she said as she eye'd her empty ale glass.

[malazac]

[Angoreth]

"OH, thank you" she said as she eye'd the drink evily then took a big drink." aahh, how my tast buds tingle" she said with satisfaction. "Good ale, very good ale.

[Theoden_king]

"well if it is the best I will also have an ale if you please"

[Angoreth]

[malazac]

[malazac]

theoden_king could you look after the inn while i am a way or angoreth it would be a favour i will only be gone a short while

[legolasismine]

*Adlyn walks into the bar,looks around at the surroundings and takes a seat in near the fire place*

[Angoreth]

I would love to Mal" she said as she took a drink of ale."Hello Adlyn welcome to the inn come sit by me and my friend."she said as she looked at the drink with satisfaction.

[legolasismine]

"Ok",she said walking towards her and sitting down next to her and her friend.

[Kellivara]

*hops over the bar and starts mixing drinks* after she's got about 10 of them (including one normal ale) she takes 'em all on a tray to a table in the middle of the room and begins drinkin 'em all slowly one by one*

[malazac]

well what can i get you legolasismine this will be my last serverd drink for a while

[legolasismine]

"Its adlyn and just an ale"

[malazac]

ok adlyn it is one ale comeing up [and with that he puts an ale on the counter ] well then good bye people i will be back soon [malazac walks out of the bar]

[legolasismine]

*Takes drink*
bye

[Angoreth]

Gives mal a hug befor he goes"don't be gone to long my friend people will start to miss you to much"she said with a smile.Then she walked behind the bar and waited for an order,then looks at kell"um... kell are you gonna want a room I don't think it would be a wise chose for you to "ride"home."she said as she watched her friend drink all of her drinks.

[Kellivara]

"Osh, no! I can handle my drinks. I do have a limit though, I've figured out it's six full bottles of drow wine and three large gargle blasters. One gargle blaster, by the way, is enough to put a grown man out cold (at least one that only has an average alcohol limit) so I will be fine my friend."

[Theoden_king]

"Goodbye Mal for a little while at least" Theoden smiled "I will keep my eye on Angoreth and make sure she doesn't burn the inn down"

[Angoreth]

Angoreth stuck her tounge out at theoden then smiled," the only way I could burn the in down is my friend kell over there spills one of her drinks and does not tell me" she said with A laugh"and kell just don't get near a pipe with those K"she said with a smile as she cleaned the counter.

[Kellivara]

*Kell knocks her margarita over (what's left of it) along with the candle and watches the pretty flames dance* (obviously done just to prove Angoreth's point* "Hey Angoreth! loolit what the pyro did!"

[Theoden_king]

"well Malazac has only just left and already the Inn is burning down" Theoden said laughing as he watched Angoreth try and hurridly smother the flames

[Angoreth]

"you would laugh woulden't you, instead of trying to help"she said as she stomped on the clothe to put out it's flame. She picked up the cloth and threw it in the water, every one watched as it sizzled.*sigh*" I think I should have thought twice"she said with a smile as she went behind the counter."be carful theoden my friend, you don't want me putting things in your drink"she said with an evil smile.

[Kellivara]

*hurriedly scribbled a note onto a piece of paper and tapes it to the bar for when malazac returns* It reads: "Dun worry Zac, I'll replace the table...."

*then Kell return to the table, setting in aflame, then before the flame grows much bigger she puts it out with a wet towl.....over n over n over n over n.......

[Theoden_king]

If you want help you should ask" Said Theoden as he watched Kellivara set the table alight, "and don't think that I wont be inspecting all my drinks from now on"

[Kellivara]

nope, I don't need any help^_^ I have a tendency to serve myself anyway, and I'm enjoyin watching the pretty fire......

[Angoreth]

"kell you can watch the pretty flames outside so you won't burn down the inn."she said a she opened the door for kell to drag her table outside in the warm weather."adn thedoen my friend I will ask your help when I need it,oh... and don't worry the worst I could do to your drink is still a potion from a wizard and turn you into a toad"she said with a laugh"although you woulden't look any diffarent"she said jokingly with a smile."does any one need any thing to drink or eat or does any one need a room for the night"she said aloud so every one could hear.

[Theoden_king]

"I will take a room for later please and an ale for now" he then eyed Angoreth suspisciously "I better not turn into anything unnatural like otherwise I.....I.....well I don't know what I would do" he said with a smile

[malazac]

the door opens and malazac comes in and says what in the holy hell happend here in all my years i would have had less damage having a bunch of drunkin dragons over ........................ hmmm whats this hmmmmmm o right i see forget what i just said i just came for some stuff some ..... food .......drink..... provisons i am off to fight a war o and here theoden_king,angoreth and kellivara malazac hands over pachment to them [on it it says you are here by welcome in the kingdom of dragonia and have the best service and have the title of dragon freind

[Goldberry344]

Goldie walked into the inn and sat down at the bar. "Can i have a root beer, please" she ordered, then turned and looked at the other patrons of the inn

[malazac]

of corse malazac gose and puts a root beer down to golden berry

[Goldberry344]

"thanks," Goldie murmurs, distractedly. Then she turne to the person behind the bar. "Do you own the inn?"

[elfgirl]

Meanwhile, Avari walks into the inn. "Got any Irish Quenya-Cola?" She asks, smiling broadly, obviously sober, and, in reality, not very happy about it.

[Theoden_king]

Theoden sniggers as Malazac comes in and starts to yell and while Malazac is busy colecting provisions he turns to Angoreth and whispers "There would have been less fire if you had turned Kellivara into a toad" then he turns to Goldie and Avari "welcome I am Theoden" he points behind the bar to Angoreth "Thats is Angoreth and the pyrotechnic over there is Kellivara. Malazac is the owner but Angoreth is temporarily in charge while Malazac is away"

[malazac]

yes elfgirl ww have that malazac then gets one and puts it down to her

[elfgirl]

Avari picks it up, takes a drink, and smiles. "Wow! Nice... probably the best Irish Quenya-Cola I have ever tasted. " She then takes another, rather large gulp, and says, "I will probably want another in about five minutes... Thanks." Avari then turns to Theoden, and says, "Thank you for informing me of those things." she then smiles, and goes back to her drink.

[Angoreth]

Angoreth laughs at theodens joke, and turns to mal"thank yuo, I shall have to visit your kingdom some time"she said looking at the pachment."and I shall clean up the mess very soon mal"she siad looking at kell very disturbed but with a smile"then turns to Avari and goldie,"welcome"she said with a warm smile."who are you fighting this war with malazac?"she said turning to him while he gathered his things.

[Kellivara]

*Kell stands up when she is handed her bit of parchment and nods at zac* "Aye, I'll make use of this soon. But now I have to go tend to business at my pub. See you soon, I'm sure. Oh, and when I come back I'll bring a new table........"

[malazac]

[Angoreth]

"Good I was hoping I would not get balmed for that"thought Angoreth,"how long will you be away at war mal?"she asked as she started to clean the counter.

[malazac]

who knows the thing we are going to fight is very powerful so it ould take months

[Kellivara]

*comes back, fully armed, right down to the daggers in her hair, and is half dragging/half carrying a table behind her* *sets it where the other table used to be in the middle of the room*

"See Angoreth? told you you wouldn't get blamed"

[malazac]

[Angoreth]

"Any one want an ale"she said moredly, as she watched the two talk.

[Kellivara]

[Theoden_king]

Theoden turned to Angoreth "Yes I will have an ale please"

[malazac]

malazac gets up and says i will be back soon bye

[Theoden_king]

"Goodbye Malazac return to us safely and good luck"

[Cerberus]

Walks in unobtrusively and sits down at an empty table.

[Angoreth]

"good bye mal"she said as she waved good bye," here is your ale theoden my friend"she said as she handed him his ale." oh now come on over Cerberus and introduce yourself" she said with a warm smile" I am Angoreth, I am taking care of malazac's inn while he is away this is theoden carful" she said as she smaked him in the back of the head for not putting down a couster under his drink. " and the one over there watching the table burn to a cripse is Kellivara" she said pointing to, kell as her face glow'd orange from the light of the fire.

[Theoden_king]

"welcome cerberus most of us are freindly enough" he said as he glared at Angoreth "and if you like fire you will feel right at home with Kellivara" he said with a smile

[Kellivara]

*Kell's glance shot up at the sound of her name being mentioned* "oh, yes, hello Cerberus"

[Angoreth]

"well would you like any thing to drink?"she asked as she cleanded of the bar counter.

[Cerberus]

"Its nice to meet you all, but i would like an ale" Cerberus says, thanking them for the warm welcome "Oh and would any of you know someone called Omnipotent Elf?"

[Angoreth]

Angoreth hands him his ale"yes I know him, why do you ask?" she said as she began to wash the tables of the inn.

[malazac]

at that moment malazac enters the inn stout and proud with only one thing that was strange he was slashed with blood [on his face hands and body ] he walks over to the counter thanks for keeping an eye on the inn for me he walks behind lifts a bottle of old winyerd marked with 1296 in the lable and drinks it in a one

[Theoden_king]

"Malazac, welcome back, I am happy to see you, I assume the war went well?"

[Angoreth]

"Yes I would love to hear as well... but maybe you should clean up first my friend" she said as she walked out from behind the bar as mal looked at himself mostly covered in orc blood.she took a seat at the bar" and when your finished can you whack thoden over the head with a fish to entertain me?" she said as eye'd evily a fish."hee hee hee"she luaghed to herself.

[Theoden_king]

"The tale wouldn't be the same wihtout the blood but if you want to clean yourself up first then go ahead"
Theoden turned and glared at Angoreth "There will be no hitting me with a fish"

[malazac]

i am soory but the war is not over yet i have the ability to transport my self back to this pub

[Kellivara]

yea, and I'm...ummm....just somehow magically in a million places at once!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE E EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I am very hyper today.........

[Angoreth]

Angoreht glared back at thedoen then leaned over the counter and picked up the fish, and the unsuspecting theoden was hit in the head and clear off his chair."HAHAHAHAHA,... Ah that was fun."she said as she looked down at theoden screaming I'm blind, but his helmet was just covering his head." you wear fish well my friend" she said with a huge smile."It appears I am as well Hyper,." she said as she took a drink of her malt beer.

[elfgirl]

"Could You pass me a Quenya-Cola and a swordfish(j/k) please?" She then broke into laughter, and said, "Maybe then Theoden and I can fight with swords. SWORDFISH!" Heheheheheee... "I, too am hyper."

[Kellivara]

SEE!? I TOLD Chelsea it was contagious, but she wouldn't listen.....

[Theoden_king]

Theoden realises his helmet is over his eyes and takes it off of his head and puts it over Angoreth's head covering her eyes

[malazac]

so how is ever one doing

[Angoreth]

Angoreth falls off her chair as she try's to remove the helmet at first, she finally gets it off," Well some are fine, and some are hyper, but theoden is getting better at his sword" she then looked at elfgirl and they both yelled" SWORD FISH" They both burst into luaghter," here theoden my friend" she said as she handed him his helmet" I think you will need this there are a lot of...fish out there" she said with a luagh." how have you been mal?" she said as she sat in her chair and took a drink of her malt beer.

[Theoden_king]

"and how long untill you have to go back to the war?"

[malazac]

i am fine angoreth a few cuts and scolds but i am fine and i have only a short time theoden so i will have an ale please

[omnipotent_elf]

*comes out from courner*
"what brings your here old friend?"
*greets cerebrus*

[malazac]

malazac downs the ale and talks thanks for the ale but know i must go back to battle and with a flash of light he was gone

[Theoden_king]

"bye Mal...." Theoden says as Malazac suddenly vanishes, "I wish he wouldn't do that, can I have another ale please?"

[spirit]

well well well...look who we have here...

[Angoreth]

" well bye mal," she said to the puff of smoke he left behind, I guess I will get the ales" she said as she went behind the bar and handed out the ales to all who asked," ello spirit" she said as she handed theoden his ale," will you be having any thing to drink?" she asked as she started to wash a few cup's.

[Theoden_king]

"Yes sit down and have a drink" said Theoden then turning back to Angoreth "If Mal can disappear like that in the middle of the battle field, I am sure he will be fine"

[Angoreth]

This is true" she said as she shrugged her shoulders." yes where do you fair from?" she asked as she set an ale on the counter.

[Angoreth]

*sigh* every one is so quiet" she said sadly.

[Theoden_king]

"Yes without Mal and Kell around this place is quite, I think I will have another ale please Angoreth"

OOC: By the way, Angoreth I have downloaded Yahoo Messenger and have now added you.

[Angoreth]

OOC: YAY!!!! its about time.:D :p ;)



" her eya go" she said as she handed him his ale"well I think I'll play my flute, do you have any instorments you could play theoden my friend?" she asked as she waited for him to answer.

[Theoden_king]

"No, I think I will sit and listen to you play if that is alright with you?"

[de_uda]

Glances in through the window and sees a friendly bar. pulls his dark hooded cloak down further to conceal his face better and quickly glides in. he finds a vacant seat in a dark corner and sits down. He eyes the others in the room slowly, absorbing every detail, the faces, the shadows. Sub-conciously fingers his axe blade at his belt, ready to use it at the slightest sign of trouble.
Keeps an eye on the door and another on the people (an old rangers trick). Takes out his pipe and slowly smoke clouds rise from the dark corner, the scent of pipe-weed thickens.

[Angoreth]

"Aoi, thereyou in the corner, come and sit talk with me and my friend theoden, we are friendly enough"she said with a laugh" here have an ale" she said as she set an ale on the bar counter.

[Theoden_king]

Theoden looked towards the newcomer "Don't worry we are all friends in here" he said as he watched the man finger his axe "come and have a drink with us"

[Angoreth]

"yes, please it would give me some one sain to talk with" he said with a smile.

[de_uda]

Walks over cautiously and sits rigidly next to Angoreth

[Theoden_king]

"what is your name my good sir?" asked Theoden

[Angoreth]

"Yes I am most curious" she said as her eye's grew pale blue." Any one want another ale or malt beer, what ever you wish" she asked as she looked about the inn.

[de_uda]

"Jaer."

[malazac]

malazac returns in the flash of a lightning he walks over and greets the new reg

[Angoreth]

Angoreh jumps for the startle of the lightning" would you quiet with the lightning and te smoke very eary, could you like pop up outside and walk in please?" she said as she tried to slow down her heart beat.

[Theoden_king]

"How goes the war Mal? Is it over?"

[Angoreth]

"Yes..please do tell" she said as she took a seat at the other side of the bar by Theoden.

[malazac]

[malazac]

[Angoreth]

" I hope there are o.k." she said as she looked at Mal. " Well I am sure they an fend for themselv's till they find your group, they are stronge" she said as she took a drink of her malt beer.

[malazac]

IC: may I have a malt beer?" she asked as she waited for a reply.

[malazac]

[Angoreth]

" hopefuly" she said she said looking at mal," but for now may I have a malt beer please?" she said waitingv,very thirsty, very parched.

[malazac]

[Angoreth]

Takes the drink," Ah thank you"she said as she took a drink.She set's drink down then looks at Jear," how is it you came upon thisbar?" she asked a she took another drink.

malazac stands up and asks the people that were there every one good

[Angoreth]

"Very quiet" she siad looking around.

[malazac]

[Angoreth]

[malazac]

[Angoreth]

A cloaked figure walks in and hangs her black cloak up on the hook. She walks over to the bar, "May I have a Rasberry tea please?" she ask the bar tender.

[Kellivara]

"Aye, I'll get it for you"

*Kell makes Angoreth a rasberry tea and hands it to her*

"There ya go"

[Angoreth]

"Thank you" takes a drink. "How have you been? Has every thing been good in the inn of late?"

[Kellivara]

[Angoreth]

"iI have been well myself. Any thing interesting happen lately? Would you like to sit down?" she said as she heald a handto the seat next to her.

[Kellivara]

"well, business is slow right now, so I guess that would be ok..."

[Angoreth]

looks around also, "We need to regain customers" she said tinking f the old times when she was there with all the others
