S23 Recap: The Seventh Hero & The Bad Vibes Bard

General Summary

Alright let's get some motherfucking SKATEBOARDS! > Corayas can't decide but with brief input from Nova, goes for the classic solution > EeenieMeenieMeinieMo.gif > Those feather decals tho > Anyways > Serenas and Romad grab their respective decks and the gang -after commenting that 6 gold is cheap- learn more about the bane of their DM's existence; Economics. > (A fancy tavern in D&D is 2gp/day and in real life a similar room might be $100/day) > Players: 0_0 > OneBanana.png > Romad tries out his board for a bit while Corayas just sits on his and scoots around > #NyoominValley > OK TAVERN TIME > DM: “You see Knick Knack talking with an orcish woman. She has short, nearly translucent hair, and is wearing very outdoorsy clothes over her leather armour. In addition you can see an armoured jaguar layed out next to her in the booth.” > (The DM was trying to be a misleading little shit here but underestimated just how much the party would latch on to the idea of a jaguar friendo.) > #VeryValidTho > 'Oh hey! Knick Knack made a friend!' > Corayas: “Hi I'm Corayas!” > Jaguar: “Hello, I am Kirin” > The Players Are Validated In Their Hopes And Prayers > The DM makes a comment on the beautiful music playing > #We'llGetBackToThat > The orcish woman introduces herself as Bia while at the same time excusing herself to go home. > The party chats with their newest member for a little while before Corayas dances up to the stage > Corayas: “Hi! I'm Corayas!”, the piper: “ Hello Corayas! It's so nice to finally meet you!” > It was at this moment, Corayas knew, He'd Fucked Up. > #Chills #RedFlags #NobodyLikedThat > Corayas, with DEEP concern in his voice: “Have we... met before?” > the piper: “Not that I know of, no. It's just that your group made quite the impression when you entered and I've just been hoping I'd get an excuse to talk to all of you!” > The piper makes a signal to someone and steps off the stage to talk with Corayas > Romad and Serenas make their way over and in a display of #GoodHabits, choose their wording carefully when asked for their names. > #AtLeastMyThirdRodeo #YouMayCallMeX > The piper laughs and responds in turn: “You may call me Lin.” > It is at this moment that the group realize they're standing in the way of all the inn staff and make their way back to the party's booth. > The party members (read players) continue to grow more and more unsettled despite Lin seeming to be incredibly sincere and earnest in her interest in the group > Huh, I Wonder Why. > You're a bard, he's a bard, they're a bard, I'm a bard. Just a lot of bards. #HereThereBeBards > Talk of Corayas' hometown happens while Nova debates mentioning their mother, and Serenas compares Lin to his younger cousin and asks about her past and past jobs > Said questions about Lin's origins lead to corrections about having met before as she was at this one noble's dinner party a few weeks ago... > Party: #OOP #FirstImpressions > Also in an uncertain chronological order during this conversation we also get sword lore, dress talk, and banter about how much of a dickhead the pepper ponce and his peers are. > Lin asks abouts Talos and the “white-haired one.” The party bends the truth for understandable reasons. > To cap off the night Isati tells a sad story, (catching the interest of Kirin) > And that's where we'll pick it up next week!
