The Rusty Nail was a fairly nondescript tavern at a crossroads, if you didn't count the nail the size of a greatsword hanging from its sign. It was whitewashed, and fairly recently from the looks of it.

Inside, the tavern was lit by several continual flame spells, including one in the fireplace. The barman was a grizzled-looking human warrior-type with more weapons than hands. Despite that, he didn't look threatening at the moment.

Several patrons were already started on their heavy drinking for the day. All the dark corners were occupied already.

Deionarra

A tall, slim and rather beautiful-looking woman in her early twenties stepped into the tavern. Her long, dark, braided hair swung behind her with some sort of vicious headdress or similar on its end, making it bladed. She was fair-skinned and had jade eyes, and as she entered she brushed her cloak away revealing tight-fitting but well-made adventurer's garb which helps show off her ample bosom, sheathed at her belt were two equally well-made kukri, as well as a warhammer and a pair of daggers, strapped across her cloaked back was a well-made longbow, and a quiver of arrows. She had a definite adventurer look about her as she moved towards the bar with delicate grace and poise, however as she gets closer it seems likely that she is wearing some form of light armour underneath her garb.

She eyed up the barkeep before speaking to him.

"I'll have strongest spirit in the house." she declared as she looked around for anything of interest.

COLIN

A minute or two after Deionarra's entrance, a savage-looking man in a shiny breastplate and toting a two-handed sword on his back kicked the door open. He gazed around the patrons as if daring them to take offence.

"I smoulder with generic rage," he said - and he did. Finally, he went over to the bar to get himself something capable of purging a large city of life, were it to get into the drinking water supply.

Deoinarra

Sipping her drink occasionally, she looked to the savage barbarian as he entered, not caring about the door. After he ordered his drink at the bar she began to converse with the roguish man.

"Well then, what brings you here, stranger?" asked Deionarra as she gazed inquisitively at the sword-bearing warrior, she also began to size him up in one way or another.

COLIN

"Death and damnation, lass," Colin answered. "The party of untrustworthy scoundrels I was travelling with have gotten themselves killed by a dragon, which then had the nerve to flee afore I could make it into shish-kebab!" He downed the contents of his mug. "The name's Colin. Colin Markson. Who be you?"

Deionarra

The buxom lady leaned back as she finished her drink.

"I am known as..." she paused, downing the rest and otherwise pausing dramatically, letting here eyes accustom to the light, her ears to the sounds, her nose to the smells and her tongue to the tastes. "Deionarra, Deionarra DiMaggio, and..." she paused once more gesturing for the barkeep to get her another drink of the same kind, then she began to glance at her nails somewhat before finishing her sentence "I'm just wandering, and looking for some excitement and..." this time she took a sip of the new drink before finishing her sentence "fun."

COLIN

"I'm all for all kinds of excitement and fun," Colin replied with a wolfish, grinning expression. "What do you have in mind, Deionarra?'

Deionarra

"Well, right now slaying hordes of marauders, pilfering a dragon's hoard, uniting a nation, those all sound good right now." she said as glanced (with her jade eyes) half-assedly at the barbarian.

"Say, I wonder if there's anyone interesting in this place?" she said before taking another sip of her fresh drink.

COLIN

Colin grinned broadly. "Slaying's my kind of thing, aye. You can say I take it religiously," he said, and then ordered another drink.

Sutsiel Azritah

As Colin was quipping something about 'taking slaying religiously', the room darkened, and all sound seemed to stop as a swirling, black portal opened in the middle of the bar, cackling with abyssal energies, and from the portal dropped a woman, but no ordinary woman--it was easy to recognize her as Sutsiel Azritah, the infamous Chosen of Fierna, Dragonmaster of Phlegethos, and Wielder of the Demonslayer (among other things), an Erinyes of black dragon descent. She had claws, and a large jaw in her draconic head, but this did not detract from her ample feminine assets. She was armored in a mithril suit of full plate, which curved along with her figure, and her only weapon (other than her jaw and claws) was a greatsword, the infamous Demonslayer, that had slain more demons in the Blood War than entire Legions of Devils. Her entrance done, the bar swiftly went back to normal, and Sutsiel wasted no time in sauntering up to the bar and ordering a drink, though she does look around the inn with a predator's eye.

"There is now," Colin answered Deionarra's question.

Deionarra eyed the erinyes "Why yes, yes there is." she replied.

COLIN

"So, what's the Forsaken One doing in a place like this?" Colin turned towards the erinyes, and attempted to jump-start the conversation with a cliche.

Deionarra snapped out of staring at the erinyes and continued conversing.

"Yes, a good question. Anything happening?" said Deionarra

Sutsiel Azritah

"Even Champions of Hell need time off," Sutsiel simply said to Colin, turning to eye both him and Deionarra. "And nothing is happening, as far as I am aware of. Nothing out of the ordinary."

Attilla · Posted: Tue Feb 19, 2008 1:28 pm Post subject:

Deionarra

Deionarra spoke once more.

"Time off, eh? Well let us hope that there are things that are out of the ordinary in this local area. Lest it be dull, and boring. And lacking fun. Well, at least lacking in one kind of fun. I'm sure" Deionarra glanced at the Erinyes "other kinds can be arranged."

The barkeep spoke to the informally formed group. "You know, there's a creature that's blocking the western road and killing anyone who tries to go down it. From what one survivor said, it was a large puttylike humanoid that shrugged off his companions' blades. But I've never heard of anything like that and he was half-panicked."

"Sounds like something in need of killing," Colin said enthusiastically, ready to pay up and leave at a moment's notice.

"Nope." the barkeep replied. "It showed up about a month earlier. Two other groups have gone against it, and not returned."

Colin chuckled. "Wimps," he commented. "We gonna do this, or what?" he eyed is two comrades.

"Sounds really annoying to fight. There any reward up for taking it down?" said Deionarra as she thought, and came up blank having seemingly not studied anything. Ever.

"Whatever's left of the wimps is fair game," mused Colin, rubbing his chin.

"Well, that's just not good at all," Colin frowned. "And makes me wanna kill it all the more. Kill it so hard its relatives or makers will die, too."
