The Gull's Roost Tavern and Inn

[Philos]

Well good Wench,
as you say,

"Ah well, people seem to know where the drinks are
But, *just to be sure, hauls out a few crates of Scotch, Bourbon, Wine and Beer*"

We do indeed know (especially Kipi ), but we certainly appreciate your hospitality none the less. Methinks there'll be some massive headaches in the morn. Cheers to our hostess.

@Curdis
Yes, drinks all around, hopefully DW has a good a supply of aspirin (and tabasco sauce). OBTW, skip the fish sauce bath. That will attract more gulls.

@Mah
Too true!!

Nice talent, heh! Learned or innate?

@Philos,
now you don't think I'd run a tavern without having a wide assortment of hangover cures on hand, do you?

I wonder if there's an association here?

My abilities lie more in the realm of dark rums.

[dragon wench]

Hi Mag,
well...I suppose this is pirate shanty of sorts, so I'm sure there's lots of dark rum around
I'm generally in and out of here, so feel free to help yourself!

[Magrus]

Thankee! I might just do that...my stint in avoding drinking led to no sleep for 5 days straight. Rum it is!

[Chimaera182]

Now see? I was planning on getting shot-glass sized Easter eggs and filling them with vodka and rum and hiding them throughout the area for an Easter egg hunt. But I forewent it because I didn't think anyone'd be up for it, but apparently I would have had two eager volunteers.

[Magrus]

Man, if grandma stashed booze filled easter eggs all over on the holiday instead of candy filled ones...I would be the worlds best easter egg hunter. Hands down!

[Curdis]

@Mah, A fish sauce bath!?

Excellent idea! DW a bath full of fish sauce and tabasco, on Philos' account if you will!

@Philos, You need to be open to new experiences and as you said drinks all round... I could drink it. Also you might as well get used to taking orders if you are to be a member of the party. The gulls will just be welcome target practice.

If you want drinking related games that don't need to wait till Easter, may I introduce the gentle sport of 'vegie' bowls.

It is similar to lawn bowls except each player may select (for each end) four fruit or vegetable of their choice. The only exception being white onions the noble white onion is used as the 'jack'. The white onion is then 'bowled' to some location around the venue and players take it in turns to attempt to have the closest vegie (or part there of) to the 'jack'. The winner then gets to 'bowl' the jack to start the next end. Your bowls may be replaced only if the other players agree, or at some predetermined time. With either agreement or the end of a 'rubber' your selection of 'bowls' may be altered.

I feel it best to allow newcommers to explore the subtleties of 'bowl' selection and the positioning of the 'jack' for themselves.

When an opponent makes a particularily spectacular, good or otherwise entertaining 'bowl' it is etiquette to remark 'shot', or 'fruit' (The call of 'fruit' serving to comemerate both 'bowls' of the vegetable or indeed fruit varieties)

How does this relate to drinking? Well obviously during such a tense clash between veritable titans of the sport, there are vast empires at stake and a calming tipple enables the participants to soothe their otherwise taut nerves. It also assists in reducing the inhibiting effects of such judgement calls as whether or not to throw the 'jack' through the open window of the host's living room and continue a few ends in an indoor setting. Not only does this make for exciting game play it opens avenues of tactical strategy when the venue is decided for the next round... - Curdis !

[Chimaera182]

Well, there's a downside to my game. If you drink each egg upon discovering them, which would certainly make the game more fun since you'd watch a bunch of drunken slovenly fools stumbling about looking for more, having some eggs one type of alcohol and some eggs another would be... well, messy's as good a word as any.

@DW
Your

Why DW, I would never think that of you.
But with the amount of beverages you just brought out and looking at this crew (self included) I just worried that it wouldn't be enough.
OBTW, Curdis is on his own for the fish sauce bath.

@Curdis
My ragged cleric friend, I am as open to new experiences as the next person, and will gladly help support your state of inebriation. But I cannot in good conscience contribute to increasing the gull population in here or for cluttering DW's floor with gull carcasses. If you recall, "I hate finding surprises in my backpack." So, sorry my friend, you will have to spring for fish sauce bath. BUT, if you are dead set on trying it, I could be convinced to chip in for the tabasco since that "might" help mask the smell.
As to orders, well, I have no problem taking them, hope you don't either.

[DesR85]

I don't think I'll need any of those cures since I don't drink. All I need is just plain water, seeing that someone shot my bottle full of holes and I have no water since then. And I need to get a new bottle as well.

[Philos]

Hi Des,

Sorry to hear about your fluid level problems. Just had to replace a radiator in my car this week.

DW,
How about a water and a new canteen for the dehydrated man in uniform here!

[dragon wench]

Water, eh?
Okay.... *mutters an incantation... "aqua venita"
*several self-replenishing water cisterns appear out of nowhere*


.....*glances around.....*holds nose* Damn...something smells really fishy around here...
