>5: Steal all the Alcoholic beverages, standard Dwarfy Procedure for quiting.

Fuck it. You're just gonna leave early and take all the booze. You jam all the crap from the shelf into your bag.

>5: Wonder who that douchebag is in the corner.

You see a bard dancing on a box over in the corner. You didn't notice him there before, he must of just got here. If you know one thing about bards, it's that they always sing a song when they get to a new place, so it's quite likely this bard is about to sing a song.



There is also a wizard standing next to you, no doubt in anticipation of the bard's song.

> Listen to the bard's song.

[King of Clubs]

> 1: Sing a song about the dwarf who is obviously the wizard's beautiful wife.

Oh! It seems you have attracted the attention of this tiny dwarven-looking lady who you think is quite probably the wizard's wife. You suppose you'll sing a song about them.

> 1: Fail to realise the age old tradition; wonder why all the people are staring at you intently.

You could never forget about the bardic tradition of performing a new song in a new town! You are all about new songs!
Also forgetting traditions is blasphemous among the bardic community. You have no idea why you are having such odd thoughts of forgetting things on purpose and doing things that are just plain silly.
Actually, ever since you got to this town you have had these strange ideas surging throughout your mind. You think it must be because you are so tired from your journey.

> 1: Improvise a new ditty.

You whip out your trusty lute and proceed to sing a ditty about a great noble wizard and his beauteous wife who lived a life of luxury.
After the song is completed the wizard tells you that you got something wrong there.
He says wizards can't feel love and therefore have no wives.
You say you didn't know.
He spouts some nonsensical profanities and insults your lack of magelore.
You guess this means the tiny woman is not his wife then.

Huh, who is this dame anyway?

> Katia

[Qwilderwibben]

>5: Introduce self.

[Morphimus]

>5: Stand there staring impassively at the bard, trying to make him uncomfortable.

He starts to play a song about a wizard and his wife and some shit.
Then the wizard tells the guy that wizards can't feel love, and then jabbers some nonsensical profanities at him.
Suddenly it dawns on you that this bard mistook you for this wizards wife.

You suppose you should make an acquaintance out of this fellow.

>5: Introduce self.

You tell the bard guy that your name is Katia.
He says his name is Kerry and it's a pleasure to meet you.
You ask him what brings him here to this town.
He says he travels all over, as is the bardic way
and so far it's been very nice in this town of...
He says he forgot the name of the town.

[mythLeader]

>You are, of course, in Innville, notable as having the highest inn-to-population ratio of any town in the known world.

[King of Clubs]

> Sometimesautumn. The town got this name because of its changeable weather. And because its founder was a moron who couldn't think of a better name.

[Blizz98]

>Mayorburg, named after King Mayor XXIII, their glorious Sovereign.

[Trish]

I have now realized that as long as Katia and Kerry follow the same story path, you're going to have to double up on updates! That's very bad!

> 1+5: Form an alliance and temporarily merge paths

[Kíeros]

> 1: Suddenly fall asleep due to your tiredness.

[Silvak]

> 3: Reveal ability to revive self through undead pet powers

4: To prevent further arguments with familiar, request innkeeper rename inn to the "Sultry Poultry". Much more appealing!

> Lulzifer: Go down to the inn's front desk (to probably meet our spicy and exciting new character)

You tell your fairy perhaps they should have named it the Sultry Poultry.
He says that's perfect and then demands you tell the innkeeper.
You say the chances of the inn accepting this new name are little to none.
He pesters you to do it anyway and you eventually give in to his demand.

You go downstairs to talk with the innkeeper, but she does not appear to be here.
However you do see something going on on the other side of the room.



You see a dwarven bard dancing feverishly on a box. You recognize the clothing, this must be a bard from the Spoony Skald bardic college. You almost went to that very bardic college when you were a lad, but your mother forbade you to go because it would supposedly "turn you into a prissy little dorkwad" so she sent you to join the paladin's guild instead. You always loved the bardic way, and as such you learned a few spells from a bard of moderate repute when you finally moved out of your mothers thatch-roofed cottage by the emerald hills of Autumnveil. You didn't have time for the more complex bard spells because of your paladin duties, so instead of those you opted to learn a few fairly simple fairy summoning spells. Sometimes you feel like you have become a prissy little dorkwad as your mother said, but that is mainly because your fairy familiar is an egocentric dick who misses no chance to lower your self esteem. Unfortunately you cannot get a new familiar as they are bound for life.



Huh, what's going on over there?
The bard seems to have just finished singing a song, no doubt because he has just arrived here. To sing a new song when you first arrive in a new town is a very important and well known bardic tradition.
It looks like you missed this bards song while you were thinking about yourself there. Oops.
You should probably speak with this bard as perhaps he can teach you more about the profession for which you hold the most passion.

> He looks busy, speak with the wizard instead.

[Kíeros]

> 2: Never meet up with the others. Ever.

[taureusSagax]

> 2: Walk down the road to see if there are any sexy dwarf-cat ladies to be had.

[mythLeader]

>4: It looks like the bard is talking to someone else right now, and it would be rude to interrupt. Talk to the wizard in the meantime.

2: Chop wood into manageable pieces and sell it to the local shoppe

You chop the wood and put it in your bag. You figure you will probably take this to your good friend Dolph, who runs a small craftsman's shoppe in the bazaar.
He can make good use out of these, that is a fact that you are certain of.

Well, you had better get back to town to sell these as they take up most of your inventory. While you are in the bazaar, you might as well have a look around. Dolph may even have something new for you to try out. Maybe it will be a new axe? You never know with that guy.
