Big Plays (or the touchdown)

Lime gets bored he attempts to convince his party to trust him and picks up the party and begins running with them down in a straight line down the most accessible road seeming to point towards farms while yelling something about him about to get a touchdown or something (clearly gone quite mad, bored barbarians can never be good) He will stop and put them down when he becomes fatigued or notices anything of note on the way and by that I mean he is running to the next avaiable plot point I mean what? I see 2 big checks here sorry to make them then continue with planned actions I wouldn't get to but hopefuly the humor will make it okay (I mean come on, a laughing dm is like a +20 circumstance modifier to your roll right?) Diplomacy Check to convince party to trust me 19+1=20 Str Check to lift and carry party and if nessesary do so with any potentaly stuggling party members unconvinced my my oh so convincing diplomacy check 12+4=16 (Lime's Lift off ground max is 750lbs usualy for lifting based on his str score and size) #Yolo

Lime is rather convincing, in fact he might only have to carry only half the party. What say you adventurers?

Beverage Crossing: Paint water and Coke 

Paintwater has a Uchi or "big sister" personality. 

Coke seems to fit best as a smug villager since men cant be normal apparently lol. Smug villagers are very polite, kind, and gentlemen-like.

Cola introduces himself to group.

After the last of the excited adventurers left the vicinity, and seeing that the 7 Lions are busy with their drunk fingers smearing across a map on a table. Cola stopped the gentle strumming of his lute and removed the poster in which his hat was covering. He repositioned the hat back onto his favorite sideways slant on his head and turned to the remaining adventurers with the poster at hand.

"Greetings friends. I am Cola Thorodan" Cola said with a bow. He looked at jared with a mischievous grin, "and I believe we have a guild before us that is in dire need of humbling"

Cola presents the poster to the whole group and begins to read it's contents.

"Do tell, Jared my friend, by what means should we encounter these beasts you speak of?"

"I am glad you feel the same. The beasts that have been plaguing us live in the wild hill sides. My farm in particular is on the north side of town. Lately, I haven't been able to use the far sides of my fields because of the creatures. The worst ones are these human-like dogs. I don't know much more about them."

Cola accepts

A challenge, a reward, and a name of status: the rare, but ideal, ingredients for an epic. With the promise of all that, and potentially more, Cola's weary body became revitalised. He took long rhythmic strides as he effortlessly swung his lute from his back, onto his arms. With a strum of his lute he gathered the attention of the bar, followed by a courteous bow. Cola began his performance.

He began with a short account with the knowledge he acquired of Sean Monstre-taigr. With a short mention that "even Gargoyles flee in fear" at his sight. His song continues into mentioning that people will get the opportunity to see this "Great leader fight" and will have the opportunity to test their mettle alongside him.

His singing tone then became more hushed and excited. He mentioned "What may a warrior more mighty?", and posed questions as to who may be that mighty warrior that can match the greatness of Monstre-taigr and his aura that sends Gargoyles away.

--Cola threw his hat in attempt to cover the poster, as he swung excitedly around, nearing the climax of his small epic.

He then finished his in-concluded epic with a promise that whomever that proves the latter will not only gain rewards, but also be immortalised in song as a man mightier than Sean Monstre-taigr.

Cola, as a precaution positioned himself in front of the poster in order to further conceal it, he did not know whether his hat landed his mark nor did he want to attract any attention to the poster itself.

The laborers closest to you cheered when the hat landed it's mark. The drunks in the back that were getting ready heard the song as a riff of praise. At the end of the song they roared once more not realizing what you were actually saying. Ready adventurers gathered into small groups and left. The Lion's gathered themselves and "strategized" at the back table.

After gaining his bearings. Cola attempts to use his half elvish ears to pick up on potential rumors and interesting stories ::: [skill check: listen +5]

you overhear from the farmers statements that override what you know of the 7 lions guild. It seems as that, even tho the lions call this area their home, they are neglecting the enemies in the area in favor of travelling and dealing with even bigger baddies in the mountains. This seems to be confirmed by the boasting of a large man in the Lion’s Den who tells a short tale about an Arakocra that tried to lift his fat ass from the cliff they were exploring.

Cola Arrives

Cola was overjoyed to enter the establishment at such at time, but if only his physical endurance matched his will. Sandwiched between two burly, but surprisingly clean, men he gathered enough of his senses to observe his surroundings.

Cola has heard of the 7 Lions bar and now has the opportunity to understand why. The furniture was of fine wood and even finer craftsmanship: perhaps a few of the most luxurious of public houses he had the opportunity to grace. However a certain detail amongst the masonry and woodwork struck a familiar tone.

The 7 Lions bar is one of the first few buildings erected in the town of Dormana. It's been renovated over the years at the expense of a local guild called, you guessed it, the 7 Lions. It's unclear to you which came first. The carvings seem to be more elaborate as they approach a rather large corner booth. The phrase 'Lions' Den' comes to mind as a pride of lions is depicted in many ways in that area. It seems to be the Guild's favored table. 

The 7 lions guild is known for their adventures in the wilderness surrounding this area and the towns folk believe that they are the reason they are so well protected. You've heard in your travels of at least one story accounting a group verses a gargoyle.
