"..Destist" Cuero blinked at his own answer. Maybe he had taken one too many sips today. "Ah, yes! A dentist. Don't...don't you know that every creature is afraid of them? No one wants to go to the dentist! Imagine all your enemies screaming fear when they see this boy with you"

Choice E: Dentist
Going with his second choice, Vermithirod sighed as he sat down with the minotaur and the twin half-orcs. He wasn't sure about their drinking habits, but he supposed at least the elf would fit in with them if not be positively influenced.
The old man explained that Flagón Green-leaf was a powerful dentist. 'Powerful' in the sense that he could cause pain and suffering wherever he went and would have his enemies sobbing and on their knees, begging to be spared. Heck, he could possibly even do dental work on the minotaur and half-orcs if they liked. Vermithirod could only imagine how badly they needed it.
With supposedly the most feared reputation of all the occupations he could have had, why not bring along a dentist? It wasn't totally lying, anyway - Flagón certainly could cause pain and suffering without even trying. Vermithirod could verify that with first-hand experience.
1. Choice B: Wizard (1 point) 2. Choice B: On foot (0 points) 3. Choice A: No point in lying to her. "Yes, he did. Is there a problem?" (1 point) 4. Choice B: Tricking him into joining up with a band of wandering adventurers (1 point) 5. Choice B: Hell no, I worked for these coins! I can take him! (2 points) 6. Choice B: "You're responsible enough now to go out on an adventure of your own seeking fame and fortune." (6 points) 7. Choice D: A young child who's got no sense at all, a friendly frog that knows more than you'd think, a very tall gnome, and a bluebird. = 14 Drunk Points
Day 8: Time to convince them to take Flagon along: B: Wizard
ButchBear cackled out loud and slapped her knees. What a good choice she'd made. The Minotaur is drunk out of his mind and his friends were not much better. It totally reminded her of herself. She held her cup of beer high and clinked glasses with the new found party. "This round's on me. Ye folks are as rowdy as rampaging boars out in the west!"
Now that they're comfortable around each other, it's time to sell this dinky elf's image. She took a long look at Flagon and wanted to give him two good slaps on the face. Too tiny, too skinny, too ugly, too crybaby, two giant eyeballs, too much of a liar. There was not even one good feature about him except for his ability to lie through his teeth.
ButchBear cleared her throat and spat on the ground to gain the party's attention. She leaned forward, and forced herself to keep a straight face. "I'd like to talk to you about my friend over there, Flagón Green-leaf. He might not look it, but he's a powerful... Wizard." Ugh how she disliked wizards. This hopeless elf might as well pretend to be one. Who knows. His lying skills could come in handy and these idiots might be dense enough to believe him. After all, they had more brawn than brains.

Points: 16 Choice: A - Rogue
After his attempt to get Flagon to join the youthful party had failed Goliath looked almost miserable. It seemed he had no other choice than to try the table with the Minotaur and orcs. "My good gentlemen, are you in need of a fine rogue to join your party? Flagon here is in need of adventure and you four seem to be a perfect fit for each other."

Day 9
If you chose A...
2 points- "A ROGUE?!" shouts DÄS BÖÖT. "EXCELLENT! VE COULD ÜSE A ROGUE. DÄS BÖÖT, PILSNER, ÜND SCHOONER (those must be the half-orcs) ARE ALL SMASHY SMASHY FIGHTERS! VE LIKE STABBY ROGUES, JA!" He claps you on the back and orders you a beer.
If you chose B...
4 points- DÄS BÖÖT's eyes narrow and he snorts. "A VIZARD? PISH POSH. VHAT ÜSE DOES DÄS BÖÖT HAVE FOR A SQUISHY VIZARD? IF DÄS BÖÖT WANTED A VIZARD, DÄS BÖÖT VOULD HAVE READ MORE THAN THE FIRST FOUR HAPPY ROTTER SCROLLS." You realize that you'll have to get him drunker if you want him to take your little problem- a little problem who he now thinks is a wizard. Looks like this round's on you, genius.
If you chose C...
3 points- "A BARBARIAN? GÜT! DÄS BÖÖT AND FRIENDS ALL BARBARIANS ARE! BUT- HOW IS THAT SKINNY LITTLE BEANPOLE A BARBARIAN?" You backpedal furiously. "No, no, I said barber, Ian. Flagón can be hard to pronounce, so, um, sometimes we call him Ian. He's a barber. He cuts hair." You shove a drink into DÄS BÖÖT's hand and drink one yourself, hoping this doesn't get you squished.
If you chose D...
3 points- "A BARD? DÄS BÖÖT LOVES SONGS!" The minotaur breaks into a song from his homeland. Each verse ends with a slug from a giant mug of beer at the end, so you definitely are drunker than you were when you started.
If you chose E...
2 points- DÄS BÖÖT stares at you for a minute, then cracks up. "HAH HAH, VAT A SILLY JOKE! ELVES CAN'T BE DENTISTS!" However, you suddenly get serious and deliver a heartfelt speech about how restricting elves from certain professions is speciesist. It's a very good, rousing speech, and DÄS BÖÖT is moved by it, recanting the error of his ways and vowing to support any elf who wants to go to dental school. It's pretty touching, really. A toast is made in your name.
"Anyways, that's what he does, and I couldn't help but notice you guys are geared up for an adventure. He's too shy to ask you himself, but he really wants to go with you." DÄS BÖÖT doesn't look too convinced, though, so you decide to sweeten the deal. What do you do?
A. Offer him money to take Flagón. B. Tell Flagón to demonstrate his skills. C. Get him really, really drunk and then sneak Flagón into his bed. This will make them minotaur married and he'll have to take Flagón with him.

Choice A: Offer him money to take Flagón.
Asking Flagón to demonstrate his skills was something Vermithirod was certain would cause DÄS BÖÖT, Pilsner, and Schooner to deny him completely. Even if the elf could effortlessly cause pain and suffering, it wasn't an art that could be demonstrated immediately. One had to spend at least a day (as the old man had) to understand his true ability.
So, instead, he offered the group the sack of gold that Châlice had given him earlier. This was what she had given it for after all, right? Might as well hand it over. Besides, not properly compensating the group for taking on the trouble-making crybaby would have just been cruel. Vermithirod already felt somewhat sorry that it didn't seem they knew what they were getting into.
Oh well. Better them than him. His patience was already worn ragged. He couldn't remember the last time he had gotten so drunk.
1. Choice B: Wizard (1 point) 2. Choice B: On foot (0 points) 3. Choice A: No point in lying to her. "Yes, he did. Is there a problem?" (1 point) 4.

Choice B: "You're responsible enough now to go out on an adventure of your own seeking fame and fortune." (6 points) 7. Choice D: A young child who's got no sense at all, a friendly frog that knows more than you'd think, a very tall gnome, and a bluebird. (3 points) 8. Choice E: Dentist (2 points) = 16 Drunk Points

*21 Points* [Choice C - Get 'em drunk]
DÄS BÖÖT's unconvinced look made Alec sit down with the three hulking beasts - if he had to be honest he felt right at home among them - and changed the subject a bit. He ordered a few rounds of beers and, once they were all good and drunk, led the parties to their respective rooms. Except instead of sending Flagón to his own room, he tucked the elf and the Minotaur into bed and quickly left the room.
They'd make a very interesting couple, that was for sure.

(1 point for Wizard 2 points for horse 1 point for truth 1 point for trickery Rolled 1 Go travel Owlbear, man. Rogue = 18 Drunk Points)
Rudolph paled as he forced a smile onto his face. He really hoped Flagon wasn't a terrible singer. Maybe if Flagon could at least come up with the words he could provide back up to the elf. Maybe even toss a little bit of his lute in to jazz things up.
"Oh, Flagon will put on a great show for you tonight to prove he's worthy of traveling by your side!"
Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2014 9:24 pm
20 pts. Choice B
"Oh, uh..." the rogue's creativity was waning, what with the drunkitude and all that business. He looked over at Flagon. "He can show you some of his sweet skills, right, bud?"
Norrívon smiled his usual smile, instrument at his chest as it plucked a merry little tune. "I can pay you to take him, keep him under your wing." he said in musical form, glowing eyes shut tight.

(Choice B: Points 24) For whatever reason, she thought it would be a good idea for the elf to show off his skills, probably because she remembered not having money due to the robbers on the road ", He'll show you his skills if yah want? But like I said, he is rusty. Been without a good journey for a while now. Poor thing."
A. Offer him money Reiphis had enough of this pathetic elf and was even desperate enough to release some of the money he'd lifted off acquired from someone earlier on. "Give him a try. A little sum for your troubles, and you can do whatever you like after he proves his worth." Or not.
Points: 19
Posted: Tue Dec 16, 2014 11:27 am
C. Get him really, really drunk and then sneak Flagón into his bed.
There was really only one thing to do by this point. Tiore gestured at the barkeep, "Another ten rounds, please."
Cade Tealeaf - Halfling Rogue with a stolen mount who told the truth and suggested financial withholding then refused to be robbed even though suggesting the elf go adventuring with a Minotaur and twin half orcs as their powerful dentist (21 drunk points)
Choice C: Get them drunk and sneak the elf into their bed.
Draft wasn't sure where this was going, he was just doing this for his bro. Gaming wasn't his thing but if this chick made PARTY happy he'd play along. Not to mention he was trying to channel his dad into his character.
Cade toasted himself for convincing the group to fear dentists, now to get them to take him into their group. Paying for something far more....concentrated...he invited the elf boy to their table to join in the drinking. It took barely a shot for the elf, and a few more for DAS BOOT. Once the bull had gone to sleep his drunk off he maneuvered the passed out elf into his room and into the bed. Thank goodness he was a rogue, stealth like this was critical into sneaking out of rooms as much as sneaking in.
