  • Kelay Tavern



Built and rebuilt, torn apart and set like stubborn bone, this tavern is the pinnacle of Hollow's entirety, wrought around the premise of peace, equality, and consummate amity. And of course, the old place had seen all of the three, but so much more. Dire markings of claw and steel cut deep into wall panels and floorboards. Set against the land's usual motif of destruction are signs of comfort. Twisting shadows and smoothing out a careful blanket of light with soft, quaint fires, a candelabra dangles down by thick cords, gripping the circular holder. Each twists up, converging upon the center, where they snake about one another and form a thick, secure anchor to Kelay Tavern's high, accommodating ceiling. The candelabra rattle now and again from the inn patrons overhead, pouring down globs of wax to the center of the room, which is wide and unobstructed. Cheaply carpentered tables and chairs grow outward around the bare dancing area, keeping to the rounded theme, and also keeping to a dwarven barkeep's avariciously born taste for 'economical' furniture. Hardly any expense has been wasted on the actual upkeep of the public center though, as can be garnered from the smell of deep pine, rich tobacco, and even richer spirits. Stairs twist away dimly near the high bar. And atop that side rests the inn logs, quill, and ink. This establishment's fine keeper, Mesthak, can be seen smiling out from his post at the bar, straight across to the room's always crackling stone-wrought hearth. Behind him, atop lofty shelves, sits an array of dark, amber, and clear liquids. Food smells waft from somewhere near at hand. A carefully printed and hung sign details the purchasable items here in the place of merriment, loss, laughter, and life. Also, tucked into a corner near one of two windows closest to the tavern doorway is a thickly papered bulletin board. A sign has been added next to the board that reads, 'The management requires patrons be fully inebriated at all times and that no curing spells be performed in this tavern-Thank you'.


Dawn read over the board clenching her jaw in anger at one particular note before turning away to stop at Kain’s table, "Hello sweetie.” She wraps her arms around her brother.

Kain said to Dawn, "Ay, ye noticed that one as well. That fool be diggin' 'is own grave."

Odessa finishes her pie and looks once more to Solidad, "You need to hunt. Should I leave you to do that?"

Solidad shakes her head, but then pauses. "Well," she says after a moment of thought. "Yes.... and meet me back home?"

Odessa said to Solidad, ""I will.""

Solidad rises from her seat somewhat unsteadily, but she smiles. "Good."

Dawn sits herself down in a chair flashing a smile to her brother "If you mean that message, yes. It's ridicules and mother won't stand for it," giving a sharp nod of her head. "Actually my stomach feels fine. I had a light meal and some herbal tea and I feel much better, but get it just in case."

Kain said to Peku, "Ello sis. Sammi be wantin' ta adopt Ramsi. How wou;d ye feel 'bout that? N lady Nikita be wantin' ta be 'mom' fer all 'o us. *chuckle* Have ye any objection ta the two 'o them joinin' the family?

Peku bursts through the tavern door with enough force to snap it off its hinges. A swirl of icy wind and a flash of robes is all that's seen till the dragon collides into the slumbering avian, knocking right out of the chair. "Chuuuuuuuurrrub!" she chimes musically.

Dawn shakes her head as Peku enters. "Oh no, here's trouble," with a laugh in her voice.

Kain nods and walks to the back, collects a bucket, and returns to the table. Setting the bucket down on the floor, he says to Dawn, "That be good ta hear. Ye sleep better last night?"

Odessa has her staff in hand and is standing battle ready at the crash of the door....though it's just an avian that gets tackled, she keeps her guard up.

Dawn leans back in her chair, hands coming to rest on her stomach, casting her mind back to last night last night. "Thank you. You know I actually did," looking mightily relived but that fact "I still feel like I have ran into a wall though."

Kain notices the tension and says to Odessa, "Ye look rather jumpy. Somethin' happen 'fore I arrived?"

Odessa lowers her staff and looks down at the startled little fox hiding under the table. "It's alright little one. False alarm." She turns, leaning her staff against the table once more as she takes her glove and bracer from the table, putting them back on. She winces only barely as the cloth slides over the fresh bite marks. She kneels and sooths the young fox, making small noises it seems to find comforting. She picks it up and holds it securely one arm. Taking her staff in hand once more she turns to leave.

Odessa stops and looks towards Kain. "I met Helich.

Kain said to Odessa, "Ah, then ye reaction be fully understandable. A despicable being that cretin be. I'll be quite happy ta empty me bladder on 'is grave. That pest needs ta be killed, fore it starts a damn full-scale race war."

Veriun is knocked out of his chair, position, sleep and probobly wits as well as his 'sister' positively assaults him in both physical and sonic manners. hitting the ground with a surprisingly low volumed 'thump' and looking around, a bit less confused then one would expect. "i really need to start forseein that."

Dawn chuckles.

Odessa said to Kain, "He very nearly made that mistake tonight. I am the personal bodyguard of Queen Solidad of Silaruin, sireling of the Archmage Rheven. Had he harmed her at all...he would have perished."

Kain said to Veriun, "Should I make ye some padded armor, bro? *chuckles* "

Peku pulls out an envelope and shoves it in Veriun's face. "Look it! I got your invite!"

Kain said to Odessa, "Queen? I didn't know she were royalty. But then again, I can't say I really know 'er all that well, yet either. Name's Kain Shannarra, explorer, student 'o the sword, 'n Prime smith 'o Larket, suppose ye could add enemy 'o Helich ta that list as well. Pleasure ta be makin' yer acquaintance."

Peku sits up and stares at Dawn intently.

Veriun said to Peku, "Glad to hear it"

Veriun chuckles at Kain "I’ll be fine. thanks for the offer"

Kain looks over hearing Peku's exclamation and chuckles. "Aye, 'n there be plenty 'o food 'n beverage. O that I be certain. All that be left ta take care of be the cake, 'n I be doin' that soon."

Dawn looks instantly curious setting her lips tight to stop herself from smiling.

Odessa said to Kain, "Well met Master Shannarra," She offers him a slight bow, careful to keep the fox in her arm feeling safe, "I am Odessa. Lady Solidad has only recently come into the title and responsibility she now bears. She is someone that I have the privilage to know as a friend, as well as my Queen."

Kain wonders what he missed, glancing from Peku to Dawn and back.

Peku opens her mouth ans speaks loudly enough for all to hear. "Is Dawn preggers?!"

Dawn bits her lip and nods.

Peku sits on Veriun like a cushion. "Care to explain something cherub?" she hums.

Kain said to Odessa, "Kain will do just fine. *chuckles at Pepu's exclamation* This be part 'o me family. Dawn, Peku, Veriun, 'n little Violet. I be of the adoptin' sort, havin' walked out on me birth family in exchange fer tha chance ta explore 'n see the world, so I be buildin' a new family. *chuckles* 'N it be gittin' ta be a rather large one."

Veriun shakes his head "I'm innocent. mentally at least" he chuckles, jestering to hide from pekus 'inquisition'

Dawn said to Veriun, " Huh, the sister get to sit on you, but not the pregnant fiancé. I don`t think i agree with that. *chuckles* "

Odessa said, "I am glad that you are finding your new family. I congratulate you, my lady, on your conception. I hope that the family you will both build will be bless with long and loving lives that are able to be spent in blessed peace."

Kain chuckles. "Aye, that don't seem quite right, does it?"

Veriun laughs and winks playfully at dawn "did i ever say you couldn't?"

Odessa turns towards the door. "Please forgive me. I must return to my Queens side."

Peku would say something about Dawn's comment, but doesn't for fear of getting slapped.

Kain said to Odessa, "Well, with their Uncle Kain around, the kids'll have a leg up from the start. I be not one ta look fer a fight, but I be Very protective 'o me family."

Dawn giggles grinning back in response his wink.

Peku smooshes his face to the floor. "I see that we have a rooster in the hen house. Shouldn't that have waited till after the wedding?"

Odessa says very distinctly as she walks out the door. "Good." And then she is gone into the night.

Dawn said to Veriun, "Hmm..no i cant recall you ever saying that. "

Dawn said to Peku, "-chuckles- weres the fun in that?"

Veriun grins a bit "as i said, i am, at least mentally, innocent on that point." he chuckles. "why, I’m positively fretting about it. thing happen without intentio you know" speaking in a honest voice, not only field with humor. a small piece of self spite can be found.

Peku said to Dawn, "I take back the rooster part. A 'fox' must be in the hen house. *raises a brow at her*"

Kain looks confused, but happily content that everyone seems to be enjoying themselves.

Dawn winks to Peku more like a vixen.

Dawn said to Veriun, " Be calm love. I`m the one that has to do all the work."

Peku gets up and pulls the avian to his feet. Dusting him off, she spins him around and pushes him onto Dawn's lap. "There ya go. All snug."

Noemi epically enters the tavern, too epic that words are not enough to explain it

Veriun shakes his head "we should probobly be happy to have such a devious dragon as our friend, hm?"

Dawn grasps as she gets a lap full of Veriun " yes. If he wants me vomiting all over him. I have a better idea, Veriun off" pushing at his back for him to move.

Dawn said to Veriun, " Hmmm"

Kain chuckles at the sight, saying, "Ah, but isn't she supposed ta be on 'is lap?" Seeing Noemi he smiles and nods. "Ello lass, a round of apple wine if ye be workin'..." He pauses, turning to Dawn. "Ye kin still have a glass, right?"

Peku smacks Kain on the head. "NO! Babies and booze don't mix."

Dawn said to you, "She right Kain. better to make it a herbal tea "

Noemi nods and takes the order, looking around, counting the people present at the area, "Four apple wine it is then..." moving toward the bar to fix the order."

Dawn said to Veriun, "You on the chair"

Veriun gets off with a chuckle and sits in a chair. shakin his head

Kain shrugs. "Oi! I dinna know, that's why I asked." Turning to Noemi as he passes her a handful of coins, he says, "Better make that a round 'o orange juice, 'n a glass 'o wine fer yerself, if'in ye wants one."

Dawn smirks, he had read her mind. Scooting over to place herself in her fiancés lap snuggling in " now this is better"

Peku turns away, but makes a ralphing noise.

Dawn said to Kain, "umm Kain could I get you do do somthing for me?"

Kain said to Peku, "I ain't never had no beby, don't rightly know how they even git in there. I know how they come out now, but... (shrugs) I still be learnin' bout all this stuff."

Dawn sticks out her tongue playfully.

Noemi was already filling the glasses with wine as the man spoke, "Eh?" scratching her head slightly before leaving the glasses and bottle on the bar, getting clean ones as she serve orange juice, "I'll just use a funnel to make the wine get back on the bottle..." turning around, carrying a tray with juice, placing the items on their table

Dawn hands Kain a book called `the birds and the bees for dummy's`

Dawn said to Noemi, "Thank you"

Kain said to Dawn, "Anythin' ye need, ye just hafta ask. Babysittin'?"

Dawn said to you, "You know me well. -chuckles- "

Veriun shakes his head at the antics "i can imagine.."

Kain said to Noemi, "Sorry lass, this all be rather new ta me. She were already close when we met 'n I adopted 'er as me sister."

Dawn wraps her arms around Veriuns chest hugging him " love you" kissing his cheek with a grin.

Noemi said to Kain, "Eh?"

Azife seems to appear from out of nowhere, spontaneously generating next to you.

Peku snickers and thanks Noemi for the drink.

Kain smiles, collects the basket, sits back down and looks at the cover of the book. Frowning, he looks at Peku. "What be birds 'n bees have ta do with anythin'? Avains kin fly 'n got feathers, but they ain't birds." He shrugs. "Seems this come up before. Someone called Dawn... oh yeah, Halegaeson." *chuckles*

Peku said to you, "oh then you should know that they actually 'eat' an egg and when the egg hatches in the tummy its time to deliver. Though there have been a few accidents with snake eggs"

Dawn nods to the basket beside the chair " she been fed, watered and changed. don't know how a managed it but I did. So she should be due for a feed in a few hours "

Veriun laughs aloud at peku "don't let her fool you, Kain. that is only a very strange and altered version of the truth."

Dawn shoulders shake from giggling " That's on interesting theory Peku"

Dawn said to Kain, "Shes right about the `egg` part in a away."

Kain looks at Peku, tilting his head to one side. "Somehow that just don't seem right..." He scratches his head and shrugs. "Ye been keepin' 'er on milk 'n juice, 'r ye tryin' somethin' else now?"

Dawn smiles " a bit of both. She taken to the juice really well.”

Kain said to Dawn, "That be good. Ye tried anythin' other 'n liquids? I know ye was thinkin' bout mushed up fruits 'n such."

Peku said, "hey. Would you rather I told him tha-(has been censored for your saftey and the saftey of others) And that's where babies come from."

Dawn said to Kain, "I think I will waite abit for that. She still a bit to young."

Dawn said to Kain, "Rather you then use."

Dawn swaps Kains book to "adult relations for dummies"

Veriun bursts out laughing at his blunt 'sister'

Kain nods. "Alright. Juice 'n milk it be."

Dawn joins in almost falling of her mates lap.

Peku grins and feels no shame what so ever for her blunt nature.

Dawn drank an orange juice.

Peku takes away Dawn's book and gives him a porno book.

Dawn slaps Peku " Don’t give him such books"

Dawn give Kain back the"adult relations for dummies" book.

Hans appears in a cloud accompanied by lightning and thunder.

Peku nods her head at her. "Your absolutly right." Taking the porno book away, she places another book in his hands. "There we go." The title read Kama Sutra.

Hans Zaps the book to oblivion while screaming "One point seven!"

Hans disappears in a cloud accompanied by lightning and thunder.

Dawn rolls her eyes " Peku!.. brake it to him gently. "

Dawn shrugs.

Peku said, "And that my friends was a Flarp toad."

Dawn shudders `pink elephants.

Administrative message from Hans: we remind players (namely those in the tavern) of rule 1.7 I will not post anything of a excessively graphic nature - This means that you will not participate in 'Cyber-sex', or any such act. The game is deemed to be loosely PG-13, however, not being video based, this category does not completely fit and is modified slightly. However, as a rough guideline it is generally sufficient. thank you.

Kain looks back and forth, shaking his head. "Uh, nevermind. I think when it be appropriate, me 'n whoever'll figger it out." His face is beet red, and he chucgs down his glass of orange juice, then turns to Violet. "Least I be knowin' a bit more about it then you... I hope."

Dawn said to you, " I should hope so."

Hans said OOC, "you think people would remember the mirrors before they give me an open invite to warp them to some place random..."

Hans said OOC, "I zapped the book because it was in violation of the rule, it had pictures."

Dawn leans back into Veriun" Ahh some peace and quite. I still feel like I have ran into a wall " rudding her eyes.

Dawn said to you, "Remind me never to have more children. "

Veriun smiles, "Stay away from walls then."

Dawn kisses her mates cheek with a grin, “You know what I mean."

Veriun nods slowly, "I do. simply keeping myself entertained, i suppose"

Kain shrugs. "Uh, don't have any more kids... after this one ye be walkin' round with, that be."

Dawn snuggle up to him a mucked look of hurt on her face " So im not entertaining anough for you?'

Dawn sighs turning to Kain will do..after This one"

Veriun chuckles "Ouch!" shaking his head "i didn't mean it like that, not at all."

Dawn sighs turning to Kain "Boys tend to be worse then girls. It seems"

Dawn said to Veriun, "I know. *narrows eyes then smile*"

Kain said to Dawn, "I be not so sure, but ye can't git preg again until that one comes out... right?"

Dawn said to you, "Right."

Veriun said to you, "certainly not. that'd be defying the laws of physics beyond the level of magic!"

Dawn said to Kain, "Two will be quite anought thank you."

Kain shrugs. "Okay, I be... learnin'. Laws 'o physics, eh?" He shrugs again, looking confused, then shakes it off. "So I don't be needin' ta remind ye until this one comes out." Nods, then glances back at Violet, who moved a little, then drifted back into deeper sleep.

Dawn rolls her eyes playfully " But you know, it is possible to have more the n on child and a time. Kain."

Veriun chuckles and nods agreeingly.

Dawn smirks.

Kain said to Dawn, "Really? I dinna know that. But then again, I be raised in Craughmoyle, 'n one be all a dwarf ever have at a time. Two kids be a big family, 'n don't think I be knowin' 'o any who had more 'n that."

Dawn chuckles nodding " indeed. And my gods I don't know how we cope. But yes, we can have roughly two to to three children at once. Offcourse it veriest from race to race.

Dawn said, "I wounder what it would it would like having twins, hmm."

Kain blanches at the thought of three kids at once. "Aye, yi, yi. Ye not be big enough fer that, sis. I dunno how ye manage ta fit one in that slim little body 'o yers. T'aint no way there could be more 'n one in there... is there?"

Dawn looks startled shaking her head quickly " goodness no."

Dawn whispered to Kain, " I evern think Veruiun. is really keen on have one."

Leodarkheart told you, "I kinda figured she was pregnant, she was sick for no apparent reason."

Dawn hopes of her mates comeing around to kiss Kain and Violet on the head " I need some well deserved rest. see you soon love" winking to her fiancés' before exiting.

Kain said to Dawn, "Aye, sleep well, sis."

Dawn said to you, "Oh, thank you hun."

Dawn nods then closes the door behind her.

Kain gives Dawn a parting hug, then looks at Veriun. "Ye gonna let 'er sleep alone?"
