Newcomers and, well, anyone else...I guess.(Rules)
You look around and realize that wherever you were, you âre not there anymore, which oddly enough doesn't bother you, since you never really liked being there anyway. You see that you are on a road that doesn't seem to lead any where in either direction, and, should you venture to walk down it, you find yourself coming back up the way you came. Exasperated, you look around and see that the only things in sight are an old well that doesn't look like it's ever seen use, and an old looking building, which seems to be in immaculate condition. Above the door is a sign, which reads "Troll Spit Bar & Grill"
You hear the sound of laughing, yelling, singing, fighting, and a host of other things you don't quite dare guess at. The smell of food and a number of exotic liquors draws you near, and before you quite realize what has happened, you are at the door and on your way inside. As the door swings open, you see creatures, beings, people, and just about any other form of life you could name, doing all manner of things and more or less just enjoying themselves.
Suddenly, a man steps out from the back. He stands a little under 6 feet tall. He is dressed in a black buisness suit that looks like he might have sleept in it, yet he also has a grey cloak draped over his shoulders. What is even odder about his atire is not the dark tinted glasses he wears but the cerimonial looking fox mask at the side of his head and the strange medalion hanging at his neck.
"Ah, good! Welcome to troll spit bar and Grill, I'm Joe the manager here. *bows slightly* If you are wondering where we are or how you got here, well, that is simple enough to explain. This bar has a prime location in the center of the universe, and as to how you got here, people just seem to show up randomly, plucked from there boring lives and brought here for our enjoyment and theirs. Please, introduce your self, look around, and feel free to have fun. And remember, if I haven't seen it, it's new to me!"
As he turns away, he directs your attention to a parchment scroll tacked to the wall. It read:
Rules and Notes
1. Be civil. Show some basic manners and try to get along. A certain amount of conflict can be interesting, but downright uncouthness is disruptive and will be dealt with. If you find a fight desirable, or just absolutely necessary, see number 2.
2. All fights are to stay in the arena. *As you read, your attention is drawn to a door marked Arena* The Arena is there to keep people from destroying my bar and causing a general interruption in the festivities. You simply enter the room and it will become anything you want it to be, from a mountain range, to a flowery field, to a blood soaked gladiator’s pit. Deaths and injuries sustained in the Arena last only as long as one remains there and are fully recovered upon leaving.
3. No weapons in the bar area either. A similar spell to the iron spell has been placed to remove the weapons. *When you look you notice several weapons mixed with the iron.* They can be picked up when you leave or enter the Arena.
4. I have recently added an items creation workshop, if you would like me to craft a spell or magical item for you I would be glad to, for a price of course! Additionaly, since the material requirements for the item enchantment spells I posses vary so much, I do not keep very many here, they just have a habit of cluttering up the place, I will tell you what I will need and it will be your job to retrieve it.
(OOC: Just a few things to keep in mind OOC, which means Out Of Character. One would be to stay in character. Don't talk about anything your character wouldn't, or do anything he/she wouldn't. Another is that as the moderator, I have authority here. If Joe casts a spell, it is inviolate, and if I state an action, then that is what occurred. We do not use this often, and I wouldn't even bring it up, except it has come up in the past and things just move more smoothly if things are clear from the beginning. No GodModing. You cannot strike someone's charector, but NPC's are fine. This I wouldn't mention, but it is such an old issue, I would have hoped it never have to come up, but it has, and it will That's about it, but this might be updated this from time to time. Have fun and role play well.)
