*pours highly concentrated love potion in a round of drinks, before offering it to all the members of the guild, currently celebrating at a tavern*
As Sonya makes her way around the tavern, she seems to be following your instructions, telling each guild member that it’s merely from a “secret admirer,” and much to your delight, each one began downing their mugs, many of the licking their lips at the delightful flavor that your potion seemed to have added to their beverages.
You sit in the corner, biding your time, resting your chin on your hands and giving a coy little smirk, watching the others revel in each other’s company. As you notice the sun getting lower, streaking through the windows as it sets, you start to wonder just why nobody seems to be reacting to their drinks at all, save for Bibi, who looks like she’s enjoying fluttering around the rafters, high above.
You also suddenly become aware that one of them is missing…
The sound of a chair’s legs clacking on the floor next to you gives you a start, as you turn your head and see a familiar lizardman sitting in it backwards, watching the same group of revelers as you are.
He sets down his own flask on the table, which you notice is mostly empty already. He turns his head to glance at you from the corner of his eye.
“Nice tropical flavor, by the way. Probably got some berries all the way from Juvent. Though…if you were looking for a ‘love’ potion, I’m afraid to disappoint you but the best you’ll get are aphrodisiacs. This one’s quite a doozy, though…you might have picked the wrong group to try it out on.”
He pointed towards the black-robed figure, already wrapping his arms around a shy young lad and his lady friend.
“Tomis there…well, let’s just say he is an aphrodisiac. Honestly, you could’ve just walked up and asked him, you would’ve had a better success rate. In fact, if you want to, I’d suggest you do so quickly, before he finds someone else or, before I ask him myssself. Seriously though, you’ve done no more to him than if you were to pour a bucket of water into the ocean. Ssspeaking of which…”
The lizardman gestured to a green-robed water elemental, poking her head up to laugh every now and then before looking back down at a thick book she’d brought in with her.
“Armonia is a water elemental, and while I’m no expert in elemental biology, I’m going to guessss that this potion would work a lot better on creatures that have…far less water in their systems. You might sssee a little twinge here or there, but I’m sure it’s heavily diluted.”
Ken’pai then turned your attention to a table at the other end of the tavern, empty save for one blue-furred trottlng. His fur was quite brilliantly shown in the light, particularly because he wasn’t wearing anything save for a napkin that he had delicately placed over his nethers as he lounged on top of the table. He gave you two a sensual look and, with a wink, poured the rest of his drink seductively onto his chest.
“…Nope, that’s not from your potion. Rot has been doing that for three days. Believe me, he’s a little too…eccentric for something like thisss to really affect him. And if it did…would any of us be able to tell?”
He pointed out another table where Betty sat along with Zuphlas, the former humming to herself as she picked up a small chocolate candy from a tin in front of her, closing her eye in bliss.
“As a helpful tip, Betty likes chocolate. A lot. In fact…if you’re not giving her chocolates, or…I suppose, made of chocolate, she’s not really going to fall for any of these tricksss, nor will she care. Zuphlas is a paladin. A paladin. Have you ever met a paladin before? A real one? A good one? Because I don’t think you have. He’s far too busy reciting his oaths with his head up his ass to even consider such ‘lowly actsss’“ Ken’pai said, mocking Zuphlas’ speech mannerisms.
He turned to look at you again and gave a soft sigh. “Aww, don’t worry, I’m sure your potion had some effect on Bibi. A small frame and all that, but…well…”
Ken’pai pointed a clawed finger up at the rafters, as your eyes caught a glimpse of the small cleric giggling and resting on her side on one of the larger beams.
“…good luck getting her down.”
The lizardman stood up and grabbed his flask, tilting his head back and downing the rest of his drink, smacking his lips. “Ahh…that isss really tasty! …Oh, right, well, you might be wondering about me as well I sssuppose. Let me put it this way, when you’re only into guys, and the guild is typically beset upon by fair maidens, well…you learn how to channel your…needs in other ways.”
He moved behind your chair, clasping his hands on your shoulders and leaning over to whisper in your ear.
“…so that’s my sssecret…”
Ken’pai cackled madly for a moment, before placing his hand on the back of your chair and leaning back over.
“Regardless, thanks for the entertainment. Do me favor, yesss? Tip the barmaid? Sonya works quite hard around here, you see.”
You swallowed hard and gave him a silent nod, prompting him to give you a toothy smile.
“Good! Have a pleasant stay!”
And with that, the reptilian patted you on the back and moved across the tavern, making a beeline for the warlock and licking his lips with his blue tongue.
