Inhabitants of the Lady Luck Tavern

   The Lady Luck Tavern is a taproom in Daggerford dedicated to Tymora and those that took risks, including soldiers, thieves, and adventurers.

Location

   The tavern is located in central Daggerford where the northern arm of Rogar Alley connected to the High Road.

Interior

   The two-floor tavern featured a rough pillar in the center that patrons attempted to climb, leaving a mark when they reached the top.

History

   Around 1370 DR, the tavern was located in the Money Quarter, but by 1485 DR, the establishment was moved to the Caravan Quarter, just within the town’s Caravan Gate.

Ownership

   As of the Year of the Nether Mountain Scrolls, 1486 DR, onward, the owner of the tavern is a human woman named Glenys. She encourages gambling in the tavern and even sponsors larger games each night.

Notable Patrons

   The tavern is frequented by Curran Corvalin, the halfling chosen of Tymora who sponsored filling Tymora’s cup, a ceremonial offering to the goddess should she want to stop by for a drink.

   “Welcome to the Lady Luck Tavern!” Glenys greets you as you enter. “Whadaya havin’?” She asks, and proceeds to name off the entire list of drinks either on tap, by the bottle, or the glass: “We’ve got Almond brandy, Bitterroot beer, Black grog ale, Cider, Daggerford clarry, Fillian's Brew, Golden Sands Brews, Gravia’s hot apple cider, Guldathen nectar, Harbor Bottom Whisky, Highwater ale, Knee-Cracker, Milk, Moon Mountain Ale, Sherry, and Trulit & Greegon’s claret.”

   “Iff’n yer here for food, we can do that, too,” she adds: Apples, Beef Sharburg, Churlgo Cheese, Eldritch berry custard, Elvish seedcake, Grapes, Hardbread, Kender Stumblenoodles, Lemons—for your drinks, or Limes, if you prefer, Salmon, and Salted nuts.”

   “Over there,” she points to several Blackjack and Poker tables, “You can have some fun losing yer . . . ahem, winning, WINNING, lots of coin! Find a comfy place to sit, and I’ll have your order right out in a jiffy.”

OOC

   Beyond this post, I will not be participating in this thread. This entire thread will be driven by you and your fellow applicants.

   Within reason, and so long as it doesn’t contradict anything established above, you may add details to the scene as needed. For example, if you need a fireplace to go sit down by to warm up, then I guess there’s a fireplace there for you to sit down by!

IC: “My words,” | ‘My thoughts,’ | My actions . . .

A heavy footfall echoes on the tavern floor, an armored boot attached to a figure of muscle and grit. In strides Duala, a Half-Orc warrior. She's fair skinned with dark brown, matted hair that falls to mid-back, and her piercingly dark eyes look down at Glenys. It's the ears, the jaw, the brow, and shoulders that betray her Orcish side, for even the famous tusks of Orc kind don't seem present, at least not as much as with others.

So many choices...

She offers a warm smile that's comforting in spite of, or perhaps because of, her otherwise intimidating figure. "Can't say no to good seafood. Two salmon. And... I don't think I've actually tried brandy let alone the almond kind. See if I like it, and it likes me." Unsurprisingly, her voice is an alto, what may be a bit different in the underlying warmth, like a mountain with pockets of steam emerging, there's a genuine friendliness there. "Thank you kindly. And if the food and drink are good, I may just have fun losing my coin with a second order." Duala gives Glenys a conspiratorial wink as if in on the joke of people gambling their coin away. She looks about and finds a table not quite in the middle, but also certainly not in the corner. It's so she can people watch, and also not appear to unapproachable, the best of both worlds or at least so she thinks.

Such a cold place, feel the chill to my bone. Good. I need this. Need to feel this from crown to toe. Let the land tell me where I'm weak. Let it show me where I can grow strong.

A halfling steps into the warm room with plenty of snow in her hair and on her clothes. Her cheeks are red from the chill, but she looks to be in good spirits. It takes a while to comb the snow out of her hair, and she leaves several soon-to-be-puddles next to the entrance. She turns to the idol of Tymora and bows before making her way to the bar.

"Good evening," she says to the innkeeper and the half-orc in a high-pitched voice.

The innkeeper offers her all manner of alternatives, dazzling her with possibilities. Her coin pouch is not as generous with options; the travel has been long, and little by little the amount inside has dwindled. She'll run dry, if she doesn't earn some coin soon. It will not be the end of the world; she can probably survive some nights outside, but it will be mighty uncomfortable in this temperature.

She can always try her luck with her jewelcrafting, but that will require her to spend a few days to look for prospective materials or clients, and she is in a bit of a hurry.

"Uhm... I'm afraid I'm not familiar with all those drinks. Can I ask if you could warm a mug of milk for me? As for the food; the Kender Stumblenoodles sounds interesting. I'll try that."

She turns to the half-orc, who seems to be the most recent arrival apart from herself, judging from her still wet boots.

"I take it I'm not the only one a bit chilly?" she says to the orc. The armored warrior doesn't look too unfriendly. "I'm Lidda Hilltopple. Do you happen to know how far it is to Nightstone? I heard there are goblin trouble there, and I'd like to go there and help out."

OOC

I don't think the time of the day was specified, so I'll just assume it is late, otherwise she'd probably travel on.

Duala regards Lidda Hilltopple. She's the learned the hard way that the smaller peoples like Gnomes and Halfling can have just as much strength and power behind them as any other, and that's before taking magic into account. "You take it correctly. If cold were a precious gem like diamonds, this land would be rich." She offers a smile as her own drink is delivered, taking a sip.

The almond brandy is... fine. In truth's it more than fine, but it is not Duala's new favorite drink. Worth trying it out though.

"Afraid anything I'd offer is just what I've read on maps and heard from others. Heading there up that way myself. Goblin trouble though you say? I'm curious, what sort of help do you plan to offer? Many ways to help after all, and I'd like to know when I raise my cup to your success, to know what sort good fortune to wish you."

There's a genuine curiosity to Duala, the kind of look that says she actually is interested and not just listening to be polite or formal. She does want to know what the Halfling's method of helping is.

Lidda climbs up on the closest chair, to avoid having to strain her neck all the time. She is curious about the drink the half-orc is served, but not enough to suggest tasting it.

"I wouldn't mind some company on the cold road," she smiles at the half-orc. The warrior seems to be amiable and good company. Strong, too. Lidda catches herself admiring her considerable muscles.

"Brute strength is obviously not my forte," she says with a grimace, "but I hope I can aid in other ways. If you're curious; I am what you might call a druid, though I guess the word carries all sort of weird connotations. Let me assure you: You'll never catch me dancing naked under the full moon, nor will I partake in other such esoteric ritual. My approach is different. See here?"

She holds up her blue pendant and turns it around to reveal a rune carved on the underside.

"This is the rune for Ice. I carve runes in gemstones, but I can also use them in other ways. If you don't mind?"

She gently takes the half-orc's hand, and draws a rune with her other hand inside the palm.

"It is a minor blessing, but it doesn't last very long. I can create various effects with my runes such as healing wounds, causing plants to rapidly grow or talk with animals."

The warm milk arrives. Lidda takes a sip and lets out a satisfied sigh.

"What about you? I don't think I caught your name?"

"Impressive." Duala nods at the description. "I was named Duala, and I've seen no reason to change it." She leans back in thought, her food had yet to arrive, but it really hasn't been that long since stepping in. For now, the drink will suffice.

"I am weak, and I head north to fix that. There seems to be many ways to help up north, goblin attacks but one of them. If I can help with this by being a sword and shield, so be it. If I can help but building up walls of wood or stone, that is what I will do. If doing some sort of exotic northern dance under the full moon will entertain and pacify them, it may take some persuading to get me to do that, but if that's what is called upon." There's something to her humor that suggests it's less sarcastic, and more finding amusement in what she would really do to help.

"So long people are being helped, even in small ways. So long as I'm becoming stronger so I can do more tomorrow than I can today, that is my intent up north." She takes a larger drink. She looks once more at the ruins and the fade away, having used it to help guide her description, to add onto how she explained herself in her own unique way.

Lidda looks a bit perplexed. "You... are weak?" she asks in disbelief. She can clearly tell that the orc is far from weak from the way she wears her armor with no hint of straining herself. Not to mention the look of the muscles themselves. "Are you talking about weakness in some allegorical meaning? Because unless my eyes betray me, you certainly don't look weak."

She shakes her head.

"Regardless, I find your intentions admirable. While I have a goal I want to achieve, I too seek to help wherever I can. I'm also a little short on coin, so I hope to strike two anvils with one hammer." She stops herself.

"Wait, that's a dwarven expression," she mutters. A hint of embarrassment creeps into her expression. She turns toward the kitchen, pretending to look for the food she ordered. The seconds it takes are enough for her to regain her composure.

"While we're on the topic; I hope that the goblin problem can be resolved in a satisfactory manner," she goes on, "That is, satisfactory for all parties, including the goblins. I'm sure some will argue that killing or chasing them off will solve everything, but I'd say that ranks among the worst solutions available. Given some time, I'm sure another group will take their place, and the circle will start anew."

“My words,” Yod said. | ‘My thoughts,’  Yod thought. | My actions . . .


A sturdy block of a shield dwarf stomps his way through the front door of the Lady Luck Tavern, clearly already in a grumpy mood. Despite the frigid weather, he is bare-chested, although he has a warm, green cloak over his shoulders. His arms are thick and powerful, and he carries a massive hammer secured across his back. He listens to Glenys greet him at the door as she assaults his ears with a lengthy list of foods and drinks. He grumbles loudly, in a deep, baritone voice, "Who moved the damn town! I'm supposed to be in Nightstone, not Daggerford! The map's all wrong. This whole town is in the wrong place."

Pausing a moment, he looks to the side and cocks his head to the side as if listening to something and then shouts to his right, "I KNOW I might be lost! Why don't you just shut your damn mouth!"

Growling, he turns back to the lady and mutters quietly, "Whisky. Double it up. And did you have something that was actual meat on that list? I need that. And don't forget the whisky."

Shaking his head, he heads into the tavern to grab a table and rest his legs, speaking under his breath, "I can't believe I missed a whole damn town..."

The halfling looks towards the grumpy newcomer with eyes as wide as saucers. There are muscles, and then there are bulging masses that look like they can bend iron. If this is what Duala is comparing herself to...? Maybe she is lacking in confidence because the basis for comparison are abnormal people like this dwarf.

She is a little perplexed listening to the Dwarf angrily rant about the map being wrong. One one hand, she can offer the dwarf company and show him the way tomorrow. That is the right thing to do. On the other hand, unlike the half-orc, the dwarf doesn't strike her as a particularly friendly type. Does she really wish to accompany him voluntarily? Perhaps it is better to sound him out before making a decision.

"Excuse me," she asks. She does not flinch at his gaze. He looks strong and dangerous, but she has faced a bear before. As long as she doesn't give it -- him a reason to attack, he won't. Unless he has rabies. Which it doesn't look like he has.

"My name is Lidda Hilltopple. May I ask the what business you have in Nightstone?"

“My words,” Yod said. | ‘My thoughts,’  Yod thought. | My actions . . .


As he settles into his table, the establishment is lively. The gambling tables at the other end of the tavern raise a ruckus as some poor soul has a bad beat what was certain a "sure thing." The chair creaks under his weight but seems well-made and not in danger of collapsing. A serving boy comes by with a pair of glasses filled with an amber-colored whisky. As the boy hustles away, Yod holds up one of the glasses in the dim light of the common room, looking to appreciate the liquor before he sends it to its ultimate demise.

Then, a short halfling is standing on a nearby chair and talking to him out of the blue. As she introduces herself and asks the question, he regards her, narrowing his eyes, and his bushy eyebrows knit together to become a fuzzy row above his eyes. He quickly downs the drink in his hand in a single gulp and puts the glass down hard on the table. He says, "Hmm..."

He eyes the halfling and then looks to the half-orc but seems to contemplate what to say. He finally says, "Name's Yod. Yod Ironbeard. I was supposed to find this dwarf named Morak. He's supposed to run the Nightstone Inn. What's it to you, Lidda Hippletopple?"

The dwarf then picks up the other glass of whisky and quickly sniffs it, trying not to soak his thick beard in the glass of alcohol.

Uh-oh. Now she is trapped. She doesn't want to lie, but if she reveals that she's headed in the same direction, he may decide to just tag along. Well... she can always reject him, can't she? She's not afraid of getting hurt, just of the awkwardness that it will entail.

"I'm headed to Nightstone tomorrow myself," she reveals. I'm not going to say anything about Duala. It's her decision what to share.

"I just found your statement a bit curious. I arrived from the south myself. From the way you described it, it sounds like you came from the north and passed Nightstone on your way here. Or perhaps I misunderstood?"

She could look for an excuse to get out of the conversation, but she wants to hear more from the dwarf and figure out if he is trustworthy or not.

"Have you been to Nightstone before? I'd be grateful to learn more about the town."

“My words,” Yod said. | ‘My thoughts,’  Yod thought. | My actions . . .


Yod grunts, not looking forward to trying to explain what happened. He sighs heavily and says, "Yeah. I came down the Triboar Trail through Waterdeep. They told me Nightstone was between Waterdeep and Daggerford, but here I am in this damn town, so I must of missed it."

He pauses and then swirls the whisky in his glass. Reluctantly, he asks, "If your headed there tomorrow, maybe we....uh....can go together?"

He's clearly embarrassed to ask but doesn't want to get lost again.

Well, he did ask nicely, Lidda thinks to herself, And he may possess knowledge that could prove most useful.

Just as she is about to answer, their food arrives. A bowl of Kender Stumblenoodles, steaming hot, is placed in front of her. A genuine smile spreads across her face. The smell awakes the hunger that has been her companion for the last few hours, and her mouth starts salivating.

She could eat at the bar, but since she is already in a conversation with the dwarf, why not share his table? Provided Duala doesn't mind. She looks at the half-orc, nodding towards the table. Seeing no clear hint of rejectionI make an assumption here that Duala won't mind. If she does, pretend Lidda misinterpreted her body language or missed some clue., she turns to Yod. "May we share your table?" she asks. A shrugAnother assumption that he doesn't mind. seems to signal acceptance.

Lidda puts the spoon in her mouth, picks up the bowl and places it on the chair next to her, leaps down from her own chair, picks up the bowl again and carries it to the table. The furniture is not exactly made for halflings, but this is far from the first time she had to deal with it. She misses the dwarven citadel, just a tiny bit. While the chairs there were still tall, at least they weren't human size tall.

She takes the spoon out of her mouth and puts it into the bowl. "I don't think I'll mind your company," she says. She brings a spoonful to her mouth, but it is still too hot to eat without scalding her tongue.

"While I'm headed for Daggerford right now, my real destination is further north," she says while waiting for it to cool a bit, "May I ask if how far north you've been? I shouldn't be circling the anvil; the real question I want to ask is... have you ever seen a Giant?"

Title

I'm listening to "The tavern - World of Warcraft piano version" right now, which is very appropriate for the setting. I can't find the exact same version on Youtube, unfortunately.

Inventing new dwarven expressions on the fly here. I imagine "circling around the anvil" to be the dwarven equivalent to "dancing around the topic".

The moment passes for Lidda's question as the Dwarf enters. It's just as well, Duala's explanation about weakness can take a bit of time, something she's working on being more concise about, but still a work in progress. She patiently and curiously listens to the tale of lost Yod. With movements that feel more conscious and deliberate she grabs her drink, her meal still likely some minutes off from arriving, and walks over to Yod's table as well.

At the mentioning of 'giant', Duala offers the Halfling a curious look, to why she'd been interested in giants of all things? She'd been... her life had been changed for the better by a half-giant, and that is quite tall enough before thinking about what a full-blooded giant must be like.

"Company is a fine thing, and if no one ever got lost, we wouldn't have a word for it." She offers the two small thoughts of encouragement to Yod, but otherwise doesn't insert her into the ongoing question, letting Yod reply to Lidda as he sees fit.

“My words,” Yod said. | ‘My thoughts,’  Yod thought. | My actions . . .


Yod eyebrows shoot up at the suggestion of joining his table. He stumbles and stammers, "Boah, well...I mean....I...uh... I guess, since we'll be traveling together, making sure we ain't getting lost. Fine, and bring yer big friend...why the f*** not!"  He looks at the immeasurably taller half-orc woman. Most orc-kin ain't no friend of dwarves, but this one seems friendly enough. And she seems to get along with short-stack here. He didn't have an immediate need to punch her in the face, which is a step better than most orcs he's met in his days. He says, "Yod. Yod Ironbeard. I know she's Lidda Hipplepipple, but I didn't catch your name."

Then, one of the servers brings a plate of the "meat" he ordered. It's small, fancy, and not what he was expecting. He looks sadly at his food and says, "Gotten more meat killing a squirrel than this! I'm gonna be starved." He looks at the halfling's food and can't bring himself to eat something made of kender...whatever THAT is! He does manage to wrangle a loaf of bread out of the server with some honey.

Yod looks at the Lidda confused a moment and says, "Ya know, we are in Daggerford, right? At least that's what they told me because I don't think Nightstone is nearly this big. I've been living in Mirabar for damn near fifty years, give or take. It's a bit into the Spine of the World, so you ask an interesting question there, lass. I ain't never seen a giant, but they are out there. They teach all dwarves how to deal with them. If you find yourself alone and find one, you smash it in the knee and run like hells. Or you end up looking like those stumpnoodles ya got there. Why, what you know about giants?"

Truth be told, the dwarf doesn't usually find small folk that interesting, but ones talking about giants have got his attention. And one that travels with this towering half-orc lady, is even more interesting.

Nothing.
