*she sits behind the bar watching the tavern as to see if anyone walks in. The fireplace lit. she looks out the window seeing the full moon's light shining on the ground outside. she looks around the tavern once more. the Stairs leading up to the empty rooms, the fireplace has a few celtic knots ingraded into the back of the wall and on the bricks. There are a few things ingrated into the wood of the walls, a few celtic knots and dragons ingraded into the bar and tables. Outside there is a sign that says 'Hell's Tavern' in really nice letters that where burnt into the wood, a dragon ingrated below it and a celtic knot border. she sits behind the bar cleaning a few glasses, then washing down the bar top. she sighs and says to herself* This is going to be a Long night. *if anyone enters they will planly see that she is an elf. her long white hair hanging over her shoulders her ears showing from within her long hair.*

*the door swings open, some of the cool wind outside entering as it does so bringing a few leaves in tow. The door is shut and the entrant, an extremely tall and lithe female clad in furs and pelts of many animals. Her armour is made of a strange black matted metal which casts a blue reflection in the firelight. At her belt hang two longswords, on her back is strapped a single greatsword of intricate design and there are numerous daggers attatched all over her, on her forearms, legs, thrust into her knee high fur boots and on her belt. On her face is a black tattoo, running from her forehead and down the left cheek.*

*She strides across to the bar with purpose, seats herself with a dull thud and slaps a couple of gold coins on the bar.*

"Ale! Ale will do, and have you food?"

*She looks weary, but alert and keeps one hand on a sword at all times, her eyes scanning the room for any possible means of entry or escape if neccessary. she looks like a wandering sort, perhaps a barbarian, but she is too lithe for that...*

Welcome To Hell's Tavern Miss. Yes we have Food, do you wish something? *she gets the lady her drink and brings to her table sitting it down softly on the table as not ot spill it. she walks back behind the bar and sits once more putting the bottle she has opened away. she looks at this the one she just served and seems to think that there is something about that is not as should be. she dosen't ask anything of it. her star birthmark that is on her showing shoulder begins to glow lightly*

^_^ may i join the story?
my charter...how to spell? umm anyways is like the one
in Creature fest.....me half dragon half human.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The door opens again..and a rush of warm air hits
my face."Mmmm feels good." Wanlking in up to the bar..
admirring the dragon carvings.Then looks up..getting
2 coins out of her pouch and lays them down.
"Some dragons scotch plz." Tummy gurgling.
"what food do you serve?"

*she gets the lady or man, she can't really tell the drink and hands it to him/her.* here you are. We serve pretty much anything. We have alot of different things here. *she smiles* the drawings that ingrated into the bartop. I drew them. Well made them. *smiles slightly*

I am female...go look at creature fest you'll know what i look

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
^_^ "you are a very good artist."

'OH." lookin at her drink.."may i hav a straw."
Thinking to her self."I would also like some roast beast-
if you have any." "that should settel my tummy."
Taking a seat by the other stranger. wraping her tail
arround the leg of the chair..with her wings loosend to the
sides.

*a straw and a bit of roast beef apear next to her* There you are miss. And thank you for the complament (i tink tat how u spell it)

^_^ tis ok me bad speller too.
----------------------------------------
She...sitting quietly eating her meal
and drink....leaving 2 coins and a ruby for the food.

*she smiles takeing the coins but the ruby goes back to her.* I don't need to ruby. *she smiles oncem ore looking at the bar top as she starts putting in a new celtic knot with a dragon around it. her dagger in hand as she ingrates it into the wooding of the bartop.*

^_^ The halfling dragon put her ruby back in her
jewl pouch,funnishing her food,with a smile of
delightment on her face.

*smiles as she blows some dust into the air and it flows into the fireplace. she wipes down the bartop and looks at the one she just ingrated* Miss? Do you wish to see the one i just put into the bar top?

;) ingrated? who R U talkin to?

----------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Putting her cup down walking over to have a look.
"oh my...that is even more wonderfull than any of them-
i seen so far."
Taking her hand in the pouch and taking out a tiny
red ruby...putting up to her mouth..she blew a tiney
spark of blue fire,and pressed it on the bar.
"there...now it has a ruby for an eye."The stone was
now ingraved and appart of the dragon that was carved
into the bar.
The fire place made the stone shine and sparkle with the
flames...as if the carving was alive.

*smiles* very life like. It looks like the one i used to raise. *smiles* I long past with dragons. *the birthmark star glowing lightly*

she looks up to see the birthmark star.
"My name is teria." " my mother was dragon."
"my father was a halfling..like me."
"i never me my mother..she was killed for her teeth-
to raise dead soldiers for this mad man that knew magic."
"my father raised me.....and the old witch in the forever-
swamp took me in as well like a mother..tought me some-
magic."
"my father died 7 years ago...from some poison."
"Now i am on my own....the witch lady Olgra..she says-
i must find peace in the world but traveling alone-and
to seek more magic-from my own kind."
Lookin down in sadness....
"but i am unable to find others like me."

B) Its getting late where im at...we will have to finish later.
sorry...tomarrow?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
a tear running down here scalley cheak.

Sorry to hear that. I am Star. I got the name from my birthmark. I have on family. I was raised by wolfs, then by bears, then by tigers, then by dragons. *looks down as the dragon she just carved stands up breaths a bit of fire and goes back to being just a pice in the wood.*

-_- "hmmm....it seems we are both alone."
She turns to look at the last bit of her food.
"you are a great cook!" "do you get alot of costermers?"
"i must finish the rest of this wonderfull food."
She turns and walks back to her food, and savers the last
piece...and last drop of her drink.

*You suddenly notice that the quiet woman in the corner is sitting perfectly still, not even breathing, suddenly she moves swiftly, knocking over the table and the beer as she stands up and unsheathes the two longswords at her side. A threatening low growl pulses from her throat and her eyes, completely black, (no pupil, no iris, no white) glint dangerously.*

*Two large men burst through the doors and glance about for a split second before charging at the woman. You don't see much, it happens to fast, a blur of blades, a roar from the woman and it's all over, they're dead on the floor and bleeding like hell. (The elf will have seen the woman's incredible skills with the blades she wields, the halfling/dragon may have seen a little of it, but it was moving extremely fast). The men look like they were just simple thugs. Without a word, the woman drags the corpses out of the bar by their long hair and dumps them in the muddy streets amongst the rest of the dead and dieing.*

*Returning to the bar, she proceeds to pick up the table and clear up the mess she has created with a rag and water from a skin.*

*looking at the Elf, she says in a rough and strong voice -*
"My humblest apologies! Forgive my friend's violence, but they are from abroad and do not know this city! I will not lie, they came here for me, they knew I was here, but they will have told no one! They want my reward money for themselves! *grins wickedly* but no one shall have it!"

"I am an escaped slave! I was a Gladiator in the court of King Radament! I was the best! I am the best, and because I escaped I will be hunted until Radament either forgets his whim or dies, neither of which is likely to come about in the next million years as he is immortal with the memory of an elephunt! So, that should answer most of the questions you now have, I'll have another ale please and I'll have a roast ox if you have them."

*pauses before continueing*
"My mother was a Battle Mage, my father was a Barbarian, I was raised by my father's family and learned magic from my mother when I could. I guess you could call me versatile! My name is Kairn. Now! I starve! Feed me Star! I can fight off all the demons in the hells, but! NOT ON AN EMPTY STOMACH!"

*slaps down a pouch full of gold onto the table and grins*

"And whatever me mate ere wants as well!" *referring to the half dragon

*nods* As to be told is to do. *she get the lady her roast ox and another of her drink and takes them over to the table and sits them down before her. she walks back over to other and smiles.* thank you for the complament on the food. I have had a few come and go, but don't really stay long. Only reason being is for i am a slave of hell and this tavern is the first level of hell with a leading gate to the other levels...Most who know that do not come unless they wish to have something wrong happen. *she walks back over to the bar and sits on the bar top and raises her hand as a black cage apears on the floor before her. she opens the cage and a HellCat steps out jumps onto the bartop next to her. The HellCat looks as if it is covered in a some type of black armor, her eyes flash red and stay that way.* Hello Hell. *the HellCat just nods. She looks over to the one who had the others following her.* I understand about the hunters if you wish to call them that. And you have very good skill with the blades. I bit of skill of myself but with a different type of blade. *she pulls out a bone sword and small dagger.* The dagger is the only BlackBlade Dagger. Friends of mine have the BlackBlade Swords and another has the BlackBlade Staff. This bone sword of mine, it consumes the soul of it's victomes. *she smiles as she sheaths the two rather fast them seeing maybe only a blur. she smiles once more and jumps behind the bar the HellCat following her.*





OCC-DAMN DATS LONG!

I pick my plate and cup to the bar.
"the food was very good!"
Looking over to her friend that just appeared
in a ruff entrents.
"hello friend!"
"it is good to see you again."
"how are things for u lately?"

The wood crieks as a person nears the entrance to the tavern. The door opens to reveal a man, almost six feet in height in very strange clothing. His clothes seem very drab, being a dull gray, but on his heart there is a small symbol of something, but its hard to make out at a distance. He wears a loose long-sleeve shirt that flows freely in the light breeze. What seems to be a skirt comforts his waist, traveling to the floor completely removing his feet from view. The clothes appear very eastern, but he is not. His pale face looks far away, but somber and alert at the same time. At his side, he carries two weapons, one looks like a longer sword and another seems to be a short sword. He tightens his belt, and walks toward the bar, looking for a seat.

As he lightly sits atop the stool, he glances around him at the other patrons of the tavern. Quickly turning around when he reaches the gladiator, he hails down the bartender for a drink.

"Do you have any sake?", he asks, with a very timid voice. He flexes his hand unconsiouly and waits for the bartenders answer.

eyeing him from the corner of my eye.
My hand on my blade...for just in case.

*she nods* Yes sir we have. *she gets him his drink and sits it before him.* There you are M'Lord. *she nods in greeting* Whats has brout you here sir? *she seems very calm for having a HellCat follow her.* I hope your trip was not as troublesum as some of the others that have come here before. *she looks aroudn the room slightly lost and she looks at the bartop as the HellCat jumps up on it* HELL! GET DOWN! *The HellCat jumps down and sulks under the bar.* *she remains looking aound the room but she turns back to the one who was at the bar and asked for the drink* May ask you for a name M'Lord? I am Star. *her star birthmark on her shoulder glows once more*




OOC-Bartendress not Bartender. lol

"My name is...", he seems to ponder over the statement too long, almost lost in his thoughts, "Ginawa. But call be Gin for short, its hard enough to pronounce it, so I'm not gonna force you to." An eastern accents fills the statement, but the mans western roots still seep through his speech.

"As for my story," he lightly laughs to himself, then turns to seriousness ,"well, I'm a ronin. I'm roaming to different places and lands, so I'm here tonight. Might be here tommorow or somewhere else, I really have no where else to go." His face looks of guilt and shame, and he drinks his sake from the bartendress.

"Who's the one who killed those two outside? I almost stepped on them."

Now faceing him,
"that would be my friend."
Pushing her to him so he can have a better look.
Takin her hand off her blade leaning against the
bar.

He turns around to the two women.

"Well tell her to be more carefull where she throws her corpses. They'll rot in the street."

His symbol over his heart is clearer now, and it appears to be a green mantis, stalking prey. He turns back around to the bar, and takes another drink of his sake.

:ph34r: Thinking{mantis?}
"may i ask as to what that mantis means."
gettin closer to the strangely clothed man.

He narrows his eyes and answers, "The mantis was my clan. Thats what it means on my kimono, but are you asking in broader terms?" His right hand flinches.

*she turns her back to them and starts going threw some bottles and stuff. there is a clear few of her Star birthmark and a long scratch with a tiger, a bear, a dragon and wolf below the scar. she turns back to them. the cage still being on the floor she sends the hellcat back to it and the cage dissapears with the hellcat in it*

Steps through the door, her long black coat flowing behind her..
A glimps of her red dress peeks through showing a slit up the side and the movement on the inside if her thigh shows that a gun is holstered inside..
She walks further into the room, her grey eyes scanning everyone and everything.. She finally sits down in a corner table, drawing a chair and taking her coat off laid it across the back of the chair, her black hair tumbled down to her waist.

Sitting back in the chair, one leg rested on anther stool..
She finally took the time to look at the people in here.. A half dragon, a elfish woman.. A man, cute... And another woman, who obvisouly killed the two men outisde, She looks the type to do that..
But than so do all of us...I thought.

I called for a port in what seemed like a whisper but it shattered the air like a knife.. reaching everyones ears and ringing like a bell..

*she gets the port and takes it to her.* Here you are M'Lady. That is a very nice dress.

Charlotte walks in the door her gren cloack hanging over her shoulders hiding her sword. She pulls back her hood showing her brown hair. "Hello Can I possable get a drink I am new here and need some where to rest up." she says slowly and sweetly with a hint of accent.

*turns to look at the lady* Yes M'Lady. There are rooms you can stay in, and yes we have all kinds of drinks. *she smiles*

Charlotte sits on a stool slowly. My name is Charlotte. I just came her to hide from some people. Is it okay that I have my wepons here?" She smiles sweetly but her eyes are clouded.

Yes it is alright. she unsheaths her BlackBlade dagger showing it to her, she also shows her the bone sword.* And yes you can stay here. No hunter, if that is what you called them, will enter here. *the hellcat apears next to lady* For She will attack them *she smiles softly* Do you want something to drink?

Charlotte smiles abit. "Just some nice luck warm blood will do. " She says. "please." Charlotte tryed not to look so elgeant and noble sitting there. she was of a rich family but then left with her love and got turned trying to stay with her love foreve. Now she had wished he was the one to turn her.

*smiles slightly and gets her, her drink* I know how you had a rich a family. I had one as well. *smiles slightly handing her her drink*

Charlotte smiles a bit. "Yes indeed I was...and still am..Meier is very weathy indeed." she looks around. "Why did you leave your family."

Had to. I was well, sort of taken over and brought here. I am well the slave of the 666 levels of hell. *she sighs slightly*

Charlotte sighs. "I don't know how that feels but I do know what it is like to be taken form everything I know." She said and siped her blood.

*half smiles* Well I am able to walk around this town, but if i ever went home i would be killed. *she sighs once more the star on her shoulder glowing. she turns and starts doing somethings. she can see the star, the scar, and the other things just below it, they look to be a walk a tiger a bear and dragon.*

:ph34r: Watched his had twich.
"i was just wondering..because i like you little bug pin."
not saying anything more..it might upset the man.
Watching the others come in for drinks,and chat.
Sniffing the air...the blood drink was a very nice scent.
Sitting down again."do you have deserts?"

"Hah, I'm glad you like it then. But if your interested in buying it, no deal. It's the only part I have left of my past, and I'd like to not part with it." He takes another drink of his sake, and sets it on the table, empty.

He looks over to the woman drinking the blood, then shivers slightly. He glances to the one sitting down with the gun and wonders how this night will turn out.

*looks to the one who asked her the question* Yes, I think we do, we shoudl anyways. Do you want somethnig? *she turnsto Anzat*Something wrong M'Lord?

"Do you have any rassell berrie pie?"
"olgra used to make them but i never seen the berries."
Glancing over to the man...his hand still twiching.

He stutters at first then answers "Ah, n-no. I'm fine. Another sake would be excellent though."

He hands her his glass, but his right hand flinches and drops it on the table. Shattering, quickly picks up the shards of glass from the area.

"Sorry about that. I didn't mean to break your cup," he steps outside and throws the glass down the street near the dead bodies.

"Good as a place for trash as any."

turns arround in her stool.
to the man.
"i dont want to be nosey..but ummm did somthing-
happen to u?" "would u like to talk?"
"im avery good listener."

The man sighs loudly. "Well, It is a long story. I once lived in the far east, as my clothing suggests, as a samurai. I wasn't widely accepted because of my different lineage, so the larger clans always tried to either kill or intimadate me. One of the smaller clans, themselves almost outcasts took me under their wing as a pupil. I learned the art of bushido, which is the way of the samurai. After my teachings, I went to a large city of the largest clan, but was almost arrested by my appearance. Luckily, I fought my way through them, and returned to my clan home. I found my teacher slain for his teachery to the emporer. He was killed because of me."

The man seems to battle with many emotions, from hate, love and vengance. He regains his composure and continues.

"I quickly left and traveled west. I ended up here tonight. I'm a ronin, a masterless samurai. One of the most dishonorable classes there. I could never go back."

He closes his eyes, and makes his right fist into a tight ball. "My hand twitches because one of their shugenja...hmm...I can't find the right word in this language. A witch? That sounds right, well she shocked me as I was escaping the land in the right side. I've been twitching usually off and on ever since." He slowly unfurls his hand and places it on the bar.
