Why not? One more distinguished member and more drink never did anybody any harm.
*Whilst Young Grimwold listens to the latest news about Skarkill, FrightKnight cannot help noticing Yasuke's sword and is reminded of the fact that, reluctantly, he needs to be polite whilst without weapons*
So, yes, where were we? Ah yes, catching up on the latest news...what became of skarkill, hobgoblin? Or perhaps you have a good idea too...erm...whatever your name might be...

[OOC: Forgive me this once but I cannot be botheredto swap to the Yasuke account]
Yasuke: Thank you very much, it is a pleasure to meet you all, I am Yasuke Tsunami. I come here looking for some magical orbs if you know of anything of this sort around here.
*He waves over a serving wench and orders a drink*

*FrightKnight takes yet another sip. His eyes widen for a moment in an attempt to properly restore vision. For now it works*
Magical orbs? These do sound rather interesting. I have to tell you I have absolutely no knowledge on the subject. Perhaps one of the others here have an idea what you are talking about. Perhaps...ooh, I don't know, you could find them at the marketplace. Some market trader could be found there....there wern't many when I went there last, some stall was left alone...
(OOC: Yes, FrightKnight's unusually pleasant demeanour is beginning to slip here, the more ale he drinks...he's also beginning to waffle, but that could just be me feeling sleepy)

*The maid brings Yasuke's drink over. Before anyone else can offer payment...*
No no, I'll pay. It's your job to drink it.
Orbs, you say? Some time ago, I worked on a ship with a chap called Captain Nemanor; and every now and then, we heard people chatting about orbs. It turned out on one occasion that they were discussing a friend called Forbes. But the rest of the time, the talk was of magical orbs. 'Dangerous in the wrong hands', apparently. One day, that'll be a cliche.
I presume your hands would be the right hands for such orbs, Yasuke?

*FrightKnight listens intently, or at least as intent as can be when not fully sober...how many had he drunk now? Surely it must have been more than only three? Was it that bad he could not hold his drink?*

*Yasuke listens very intently to the mention of orbs, only taking a few sips from his ale in between.*
Yasuke: This is most interesting, I hope my hands are the right ones. The other who seeks these orbs is Alastor, a very evil mage who uses them to power his evil.
*At the mention of Alastor then Pandora falls off Yasuke's shoulder*
Pandora: Sorry Yasuke!
Yasuke: This is my pseudodragon, her name is Pandora.

*FrightKnight by this point is tired of introductions so wearily nods his head once, before turning back to his drink*
(OOC: Tch. Isn't FrightKnight rude?)
*After another sip, FrightKnight is puzzled by this pseudodragon, puzzled enough to inquire...*
Shorry, psheudodragon?

*The small group gets up and heads over to the windows to watch the gang lynching Deal. They sit down*
Yasuke: That man attempted to rob me yet I feel sorry to see him killed in such a dishonourable way.
*He sits down and drinks his ale in silence then raises his glass*
Yasuke: To Edward Deal
*The others raise their glasses*

*FrightKnight sobers up a little at this awful-looking sight*
*sigh*...Not another one of the opposition gone! This stay in this village is turning out to be rather unpleasant.
A shame. Old Deal could have mended this sword, we could have become friends...of sorts.
*To himself* I wonder if Lord fear is as concerned as I am about this news.

How alarming. First Skarkill, now Edward Deal.
*Although Young Grimwold is far from drunk, the alcohol has relaxed him enough to use his favourite defence mechanism: humour.*
If they're in the habit of killing denizens with silly names, any one of us could be next... I was hoping I could stop carrying my club around with me, but it doesn't seem as though I can.
*He turns to the pseudodragon, and delivers a very bad joke...*
Hello, Pandora. Can you box?

*FrightKnight winces and crosses his eyes, but cannot help but feel it was rather amusing. He gives a chuckle that sounds like two slabs of granite scraping along each other*

*Pandora winces and pretends that for the sake of keeping the peace she doesn't want to tie YG's shoelaces together*
Pandora: If I had a gold coin for every time someone said that joke!
Yasuke: *grins* If I could see your face everytime you were told that joke

[OOC: A thought: if the tavern got taken over by Playboy, do you think they'd rename it the Crazed Heffner? Moving swiftly on...]
Well, much as it's pleasant sitting here and imbibing, I can't help wondering whether we should step outside, rather than waiting for the intrigue to come to us. I feel the need for a spot of fact-hunting, job-hunting... and possibly food-hunting. My family pet is missing; Yasuke's orbs are missing; and the details of Skarkill's death are still uncertain to FrightKnight. And a hobgoblin always needs something to do. [OOC: If Hobgoblin is still with us - perhaps he has left the tavern.]
So, does anyone wish to accompany me outside? Or would you like another drink?

Yes, I suppose I have had enough. *Makes to stand, stumbles a bit, but recognises it*
No, I am not drunk...just a bit delayed with my reflexes. Anyway, a step outside would be pleasant, being in this pub for so long with the smell around....I need to find out what is happening in this village, with all the evil people seemingly disappearing, I may be the only one left from the Opposition. And that would be a hefty burden.
*FrightKnight steps and walks outside with YG*
Anyone else coming along with us?
