Warrior Mage Stuck On Hara'Jaal by Waerdmoda (Qi'Reshalia: 343 Skullcleaver 363)A small blue-tongued lizard slithers through a crick in the door as it closes after another customer. Crawling along the floor towards the bar, avoiding feet and spilled ale, it crawls up on to the top of the bar and sits down right in front of Baresh. It looks around for a moment, then fixes it's gaze right in Baresh's eyes and speaks "Boy have a got a story for you!" Baresh peers quizzically at the lizard, not quite sure whether to serve it a drink or shoe it away. Pondering over the fact that it is most likely a Warrior Mage's familiar, he decides to offer it a drink. "W..would you like a drink..or something?" Eyeing a fly that is buzzing around the barkeep's head, it says "No thanks, i'm just fine. My name is Waerdmoda and I'm just here to tell you a story about my foolhardy Master of a Warrior Mage." Baresh nods his head, and since there are few customers about he decides to listen. "So, my Master gets this idea in his head that he wants a tattoo. Gathering up enough money for the trip and the tattoo he heads off to Hara'Jaal by way of Ratha. Everything is going fine, he gets to Hara'Jaal, goes through the maze without a hitch, gets his tattoo, and then tries to head back. Now this is the part that gets me, on his way back to the boat at the beach of Hara'Jaal, he realizes that he has to climb down a cliff to get there! Now my master is by no means a good climber, but none the less he gives it a try. And sure enough, he plummets to his demise. Thankfully he had a friend with him who was a better climber and brought him his things back after he returned to the realms, by favor of the Gods of course. But now he is stuck atop that cliff, and has been there for 3 days, climbing a tree until he feels confident enough to take on that cliff!" At that the lizard laughs, as well as a lizard can laugh anyhow. Baresh chuckles, looking around to see if anyone is watching him talk to a lizard. Then asks "So, what brings you here if your Master is stuck on Hara'Jaal?" "Well, where else did you think us familiars went when we take so long finding people?" At that the lizard shoots it's tongue out, grabbing a fly from right beside Baresh's head. Then scurries down the counter, off the bar, and out the door behind another patron of the tavern. Baresh shakes his head and laughs, wiping off the bar with a wet cloth. |
