[17:19] Dillard Bloobury: "Poor Tal, went an' lost 'is head. Err....his head lost his body. Somethin' like that"
[17:20] Pionia Destiny: I wanted o bring him along.. but .. I am not a relative so i couldn't bring him along... he'll be just a memory ,,lost in the ashes of the village
[17:21] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *notices that he has lost his favorite dagger*
[17:21] Dillard Bloobury: "I'm sure he'll be a'right. Prolly havin' a good ol' time down there with them worms."
[17:21] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *scans the ground franticly*
[17:22] Dillard Bloobury darts his glance over, watching Grobb, "whatcha lookin' fer?"
[17:22] Pionia Destiny: *sighs*... well, sir gobblin.. sir grobb..
[17:22] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): My dagger! I must have dropped it somewhere
[17:23] Dillard Bloobury giggles and looks around, "I don't see it...... Was you sayin' somethin' Pionia?"
[17:23] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *kicks at the dirt* Drat!
[17:23] Pionia Destiny: +looks around*

[17:24] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *mutters* If I knew that...
[17:24] Dillard Bloobury shrugs, "Maybe ya drop'd it on th' ship when you was comin' in off th' docks?"
[17:24] Pionia Destiny: Looks in her boots..
[17:25] Pionia Destiny: *gets a dagger and passes it to the gobblin* here, sir.. you can have mine..
[17:25] Dillard Bloobury tilts his head and quirks an eyebrow watching as Pionia reaches into her boot.
[17:25] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): Ugh, I doubt I'll be sing it again... Hope I don't run into any trouble til I get a replacment.
[17:25] Pionia Destiny: it's a good dagger
[17:25] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *reaches for the dagger*
[17:26] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): thanks a lot Pionia. Appriciate it.
[17:26] Pionia Destiny: smiles ... as she hands the dagger*
[17:26] Dillard Bloobury: "Daggers is usually easy t' come by."
[17:26] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): This one was my favorite one though. *shrugs*
[17:26] Pionia Destiny: I got some more back home
[17:26] Dillard Bloobury turns his attention back to Pionia's face, "you wanna see my office?"
[17:26] Azriel Danick: good day to you all
[17:27] Pionia Destiny: They are easy to use and fast to cut with.. smiles
[17:27] Azriel Danick: *truns and bows his head* LAdy
[17:27] Dillard Bloobury jumps back for a second surprised by Azriel's sudden appearance, "Oh hey there, fella."

[17:28] Pionia Destiny: *smiles * nice to see you, sir..
[17:28] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *notices Azriel's necklace* My dagger! it looks just like the one I was talking about!
[17:28] Dillard Bloobury shifts on his feet and watches Azriel with interest
[17:29] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): Cept mines a lot bigger than that.
[17:29] Azriel Danick: *looks down at the necklace and then at the goblin* you mean this necklace is yours or that it looks like your
[17:29] Pionia Destiny: *looks at the necklace* mmm that's indeed beautiful, sir Azriel..
[17:29] Azriel Danick: ahh, I see
[17:29] Azriel Danick: thank you Lady Pi
[17:29] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): Looks like it, too small to be the dagger I lost though.
[17:30] Azriel Danick: well Im sure it isn't here
[17:30] Pionia Destiny: I have seen it before.. It always caught my eye.. but I was to shy to compliment on it.. *looks at her hands*
[17:30] Dillard Bloobury looks confused, "How could you be sure a that? "
[17:30] Azriel Danick: and who might this be* looks at the other creature*
[17:30] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): How are you sure of that?
[17:30] Azriel Danick: this is a new land so it couldn't be here
[17:31] Azriel Danick: and if it were I would know
[17:31] Dillard Bloobury: "Well, he had it earlier an' then dropped it. I doubt you can really inventory this entire town like that."
[17:31] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *puzzled by the response*
[17:31] Azriel Danick: *turns his attention to Pionia* shy Lady why woul dyou be?
[17:31] Azriel Danick: where were you then
[17:31] Pionia Destiny: Sir azriel.. this is Sir Dillard..
[17:32] Azriel Danick: *nods to Dillard*
[17:32] Pionia Destiny: and old artsonian... and this is his friend .. sir grobb
[17:32] Dillard Bloobury snorts and gives Grobb a glance before turning back to Azriel, "A'right then, fella, tell me everything that sits in the Tavern down there right at this second."
[17:32] Azriel Danick: *nods again*
[17:33] Azriel Danick: *chuckles* I don't think I need to do that
[17:33] Dillard Bloobury: "So ya don't know, I take it?"
[17:33] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *looks a Dillard* Nah, he don't know.
[17:33] Azriel Danick: if I did why would I have asked where you were when you droped it?
[17:33] Pionia Destiny: *looks at the gentlemen and smiles amused at their conversation*
[17:33] Dillard Bloobury: "Huh?"
[17:34] Azriel Danick: *shrugs* never mind
[17:34] Dillard Bloobury: "Ya said you knew his dagger wasn't here an' that ya knew everything in this village. Seems kinda odd"
[17:34] Pionia Destiny: Sir Dillard.. Sir azriel is an honorable warrior..
[17:34] Azriel Danick: I meant I hadn't seen it if I had I would have returned it
[17:35] Dillard Bloobury: "You said you could assure us it wasn't here. Doesn't make much sense. Did ya know we was up here before ya saw us?"
[17:35] Azriel Danick: nor have I seen either of you .*coughs* gentlemen here before
[17:35] Pionia Destiny: *nods at what the warrior says*
[17:35] Pionia Destiny: yes...
[17:35] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *scratches his head* I've seen you at the tavern here several time. Figured you know everyone that set foot here.
[17:35] Azriel Danick: I didn't know if anyone was here I come here on rounds
[17:35] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *times
[17:36] Azriel Danick: I have seen you once in the tavern yes
[17:36] Azriel Danick: bri9efly I should say
[17:36] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *nods*
[17:36] Dillard Bloobury: "So ya coudnt have assured anyone that there are currently no goblins at th' guild until ya walked up here, but you can assure us that a li'l bitty ol' dagger is nowhere in this entire big village."
[17:36] Pionia Destiny: Sir Grobb.. as sir dillard says .. maybe you lost it ..in the ship..
[17:36] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *shrugs*

[17:38] Azriel Danick: *his green eyes flare at being called a liar* I didn't lie about anything
[17:39] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): Seems like you might have exagerated a bit though.
[17:39] Dillard Bloobury: "How'd you help us find it if ya already claimed it's nowhere t' be found? You stated somethin' as fact that you'd have no possible way of knowin'. Sounds like a lie t' me."
[17:39] Pionia Destiny: *opens her eyes and smiles nervously* .. Oh sir azriel.. sir dillard didn't mean that..
[17:39] Dillard Bloobury: "Perhaps tryin' t
[17:39] Dillard Bloobury: ' be a braggart? I dunno, but ya sounded like a damned fool, elf."

[17:55] Pionia Destiny: firelies... says to herself
[17:56] Azriel Danick: *chuckles* I'm nothing like Destiny
[17:56] Pionia Destiny: Sir Destiny was really sad.. last time I saw him..
[17:56] Azriel Danick: I haven't seen in a long while
[17:56] Dillard Bloobury kicks his feet and tilts his head again, watching Azriel with interest, "Ya, seem like brothers, t' me. Tellin' stories, gettin' mad all th' time, tryin' t' impress all th' ladies."
[17:56] Azriel Danick: him*
[17:57] Azriel Danick: I didn't know I was trying to impress anyone
[17:57] Dillard Bloobury laughs, "then why else'd ya lie like that an' claim ya knew everything tht was in this village all th' time? I doubt it was t' impress me."

[17:58] Pionia Destiny: *looks at he lights and wonders where they come from*
[17:59] Azriel Danick: where is the other goblin Lady?
[17:59] Pionia Destiny: *looks back at the goblin...mmm why is it that the goblin is so mad at the warrior..mmm*
[17:59] Dillard Bloobury grins, showing his teeth, "Why? Cause I call loud mouthed liars out on their bullshit? Yeah, that makes folks mad sometimes, but it don't bother me none."
[18:00] Pionia Destiny: Oh... he was here a minute ago,...
[18:00] Pionia Destiny: *shrugs her shoulders * probably he went to look for his dagger
[18:00] Azriel Danick: well in the future I will be more careful of the words I choose
[18:00] Dillard Bloobury laughs louder, "So ya can guarantee that no little dagger is anywhere 'round here, but ya don't even know how t' find a whole goblin? I figured you knew where he was at all times"
[18:00] Azriel Danick: I only meant that I was sure that the dagger was not here
[18:01] Dillard Bloobury doubles over laughing
[18:01] Pionia Destiny: *looks at the warrior.. and now she's impressed*
[18:01] Azriel Danick: well as this is the hall for all the guilds I'm sure he will be safe enough
[18:01] Pionia Destiny: *admires his patience and tact on dealing with the goblin..mmm smiles*
[18:01] Dillard Bloobury slaps his knee and wipes tears from his eyes, "but that's my whole point, fella! How in th' world would ya know that it ain't here? "
[18:01] Azriel Danick: of course there are things that might enjoy a little goblin dinner
[18:01] Pionia Destiny: Yes..
[18:02] Dillard Bloobury: "So ya know everything that's in them cabinets behind ya?"
[18:02] Azriel Danick: I'm sure he will turn up.. one way or the other
[18:03] Dillard Bloobury narrows his eyes and waits for a response
[18:03] Azriel Danick: Me? of course not I never look into others belongings
[18:03] Pionia Destiny: *gigles.. and wonders how much more patience the warrior have*
[18:03] Dillard Bloobury: "So you know the dagger, aint here. But ya also don't know what's in the cabinets? I don't think ya understand what yer sayin'"
[18:03] Azriel Danick: of course I do help take out the trash if needed* looks down at the goblin and smiles*
[18:04] Pionia Destiny: *shakes her head and giggles quietly*
[18:04] Azriel Danick: or remove unwanted guests if asked
[18:04] Dillard Bloobury puffs his chest out and narrows his eyes with a grin, "I ain't sure ya realized who yer talkin' to, boy. "
[18:05] Azriel Danick: nor you
[18:05] Pionia Destiny: *sighs and rolls her eyes... here it comes... *
[18:05] Azriel Danick: *he smiles while looking the goblin in the eyes*
[18:06] Pionia Destiny: *clears her throat...* gentlemen..please.. I am so thirty..

[18:06] Dillard Bloobury: "I know I'm talkin' t' somebody that is still statin' facts that he can't back up. An' if ya wanna talk 'bout uninvited guests, I suggest ya talk with Minniver an' check t' see if my name is on yer guest lists. I'm far from new 'round here, boy."
[18:06] Azriel Danick: if you like Lady. I would be happy to escort you
[18:06] Pionia Destiny: some nice red wine.. sounds delightful..
[18:07] Azriel Danick: I didn't say you weren't
[18:07] Pionia Destiny: Sir, azriel.. Sir Dillard is an old villager and he came here as everybody else..
[18:07] Pionia Destiny: he's one of us..
[18:08] Dillard Bloobury laughs and shakes his head, "You might very well be th' dumbest person I ever met. An' that includes Nick an' Gadget."
[18:08] Pionia Destiny: and he's a wonderful dancer, too
[18:08] Azriel Danick: I'm sure he has and all are welcome of course
[18:08] Pionia Destiny: so.. shall we go for a drink.. smiles t the gentlemen..

[18:11] Azriel Danick: sorry. he's in the guild hall I guess
[18:11] Azriel Danick: to busy talking to walk?

[17:17] Pionia Destiny: nods at the gobblin with the funny pants*

[17:19] Pionia Destiny: Tal's head is resting there
[17:19] Dillard Bloobury giggles
[17:19] Dillard Bloobury: "Poor Tal, went an' lost 'is head. Err....his head lost his body. Somethin' like that"
[17:20] Pionia Destiny: I wanted o bring him along.. but .. I am not a relative so i couldn't bring him along... he'll be just a memory ,,lost in the ashes of the village
[17:21] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *notices that he has lost his favorite dagger*
[17:21] Dillard Bloobury: "I'm sure he'll be a'right. Prolly havin' a good ol' time down there with them worms."
[17:21] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *scans the ground franticly*
[17:22] Dillard Bloobury darts his glance over, watching Grobb, "whatcha lookin' fer?"
[17:22] Pionia Destiny: *sighs*... well, sir gobblin.. sir grobb..
[17:22] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): My dagger! I must have dropped it somewhere
[17:23] Dillard Bloobury giggles and looks around, "I don't see it...... Was you sayin' somethin' Pionia?"
[17:23] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *kicks at the dirt* Drat!
[17:23] Pionia Destiny: +looks around*

[17:23] Pionia Destiny: we can go look for it..
[17:24] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *mutters* If I knew that...
[17:24] Dillard Bloobury shrugs, "Maybe ya drop'd it on th' ship when you was comin' in off th' docks?"
[17:24] Pionia Destiny: Looks in her boots..
[17:25] Pionia Destiny: *gets a dagger and passes it to the gobblin* here, sir.. you can have mine..
[17:25] Dillard Bloobury tilts his head and quirks an eyebrow watching as Pionia reaches into her boot.
[17:25] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): Ugh, I doubt I'll be sing it again... Hope I don't run into any trouble til I get a replacment.
[17:25] Pionia Destiny: it's a good dagger
[17:25] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *reaches for the dagger*
[17:26] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): thanks a lot Pionia. Appriciate it.
[17:26] Pionia Destiny: smiles ... as she hands the dagger*
[17:26] Dillard Bloobury: "Daggers is usually easy t' come by."
[17:26] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): This one was my favorite one though. *shrugs*
[17:26] Pionia Destiny: I got some more back home
[17:26] Dillard Bloobury turns his attention back to Pionia's face, "you wanna see my office?"
[17:26] Azriel Danick: good day to you all
[17:27] Pionia Destiny: They are easy to use and fast to cut with.. smiles
[17:27] Azriel Danick: *truns and bows his head* LAdy
[17:27] Dillard Bloobury jumps back for a second surprised by Azriel's sudden appearance, "Oh hey there, fella."
[17:27] Pionia Destiny: *looks at the newcomer..* greetigs, sir ..
[17:27] Azriel Danick: I see you have some new friends

[17:28] Pionia Destiny: *smiles * nice to see you, sir..
[17:28] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *notices Azriel's necklace* My dagger! it looks just like the one I was talking about!
[17:28] Dillard Bloobury shifts on his feet and watches Azriel with interest
[17:29] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): Cept mines a lot bigger than that.
[17:29] Azriel Danick: *looks down at the necklace and then at the goblin* you mean this necklace is yours or that it looks like your
[17:29] Pionia Destiny: *looks at the necklace* mmm that's indeed beautiful, sir Azriel..
[17:29] Azriel Danick: ahh, I see
[17:29] Azriel Danick: thank you Lady Pi
[17:29] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): Looks like it, too small to be the dagger I lost though.
[17:30] Azriel Danick: well Im sure it isn't here
[17:30] Pionia Destiny: I have seen it before.. It always caught my eye.. but I was to shy to compliment on it.. *looks at her hands*
[17:30] Dillard Bloobury looks confused, "How could you be sure a that? "
[17:30] Azriel Danick: and who might this be* looks at the other creature*
[17:30] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): How are you sure of that?
[17:30] Azriel Danick: this is a new land so it couldn't be here
[17:31] Azriel Danick: and if it were I would know
[17:31] Dillard Bloobury: "Well, he had it earlier an' then dropped it. I doubt you can really inventory this entire town like that."
[17:31] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *puzzled by the response*
[17:31] Azriel Danick: *turns his attention to Pionia* shy Lady why woul dyou be?
[17:31] Azriel Danick: where were you then
[17:31] Pionia Destiny: Sir azriel.. this is Sir Dillard..
[17:32] Azriel Danick: *nods to Dillard*
[17:32] Pionia Destiny: and old artsonian... and this is his friend .. sir grobb
[17:32] Dillard Bloobury snorts and gives Grobb a glance before turning back to Azriel, "A'right then, fella, tell me everything that sits in the Tavern down there right at this second."
[17:32] Azriel Danick: *nods again*
[17:33] Azriel Danick: *chuckles* I don't think I need to do that
[17:33] Dillard Bloobury: "So ya don't know, I take it?"
[17:33] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *looks a Dillard* Nah, he don't know.
[17:33] Azriel Danick: if I did why would I have asked where you were when you droped it?
[17:33] Pionia Destiny: *looks at the gentlemen and smiles amused at their conversation*
[17:33] Dillard Bloobury: "Huh?"
[17:34] Azriel Danick: *shrugs* never mind
[17:34] Dillard Bloobury: "Ya said you knew his dagger wasn't here an' that ya knew everything in this village. Seems kinda odd"
[17:34] Pionia Destiny: Sir Dillard.. Sir azriel is an honorable warrior..
[17:34] Azriel Danick: I meant I hadn't seen it if I had I would have returned it
[17:35] Dillard Bloobury: "You said you could assure us it wasn't here. Doesn't make much sense. Did ya know we was up here before ya saw us?"
[17:35] Azriel Danick: nor have I seen either of you .*coughs* gentlemen here before
[17:35] Pionia Destiny: *nods at what the warrior says*
[17:35] Pionia Destiny: yes...
[17:35] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *scratches his head* I've seen you at the tavern here several time. Figured you know everyone that set foot here.
[17:35] Azriel Danick: I didn't know if anyone was here I come here on rounds
[17:35] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *times
[17:36] Azriel Danick: I have seen you once in the tavern yes
[17:36] Azriel Danick: bri9efly I should say
[17:36] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *nods*
[17:36] Dillard Bloobury: "So ya coudnt have assured anyone that there are currently no goblins at th' guild until ya walked up here, but you can assure us that a li'l bitty ol' dagger is nowhere in this entire big village."
[17:36] Pionia Destiny: Sir Grobb.. as sir dillard says .. maybe you lost it ..in the ship..
[17:36] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): *shrugs*

[17:38] Azriel Danick: *his green eyes flare at being called a liar* I didn't lie about anything
[17:39] Grobb Foulblood (thegrumpygoblin): Seems like you might have exagerated a bit though.
[17:39] Dillard Bloobury: "How'd you help us find it if ya already claimed it's nowhere t' be found? You stated somethin' as fact that you'd have no possible way of knowin'. Sounds like a lie t' me."
[17:39] Pionia Destiny: *opens her eyes and smiles nervously* .. Oh sir azriel.. sir dillard didn't mean that..
[17:39] Dillard Bloobury: "Perhaps tryin' t
[17:39] Dillard Bloobury: ' be a braggart? I dunno, but ya sounded like a damned fool, elf."

[17:55] Pionia Destiny: firelies... says to herself

[17:56] Pionia Destiny: Sir Destiny was really sad.. last time I saw him..
[17:56] Azriel Danick: I haven't seen in a long while
[17:56] Dillard Bloobury kicks his feet and tilts his head again, watching Azriel with interest, "Ya, seem like brothers, t' me. Tellin' stories, gettin' mad all th' time, tryin' t' impress all th' ladies."
[17:56] Azriel Danick: him*
[17:57] Azriel Danick: I didn't know I was trying to impress anyone

[17:59] Azriel Danick: where is the other goblin Lady?
[17:59] Pionia Destiny: *looks back at the goblin...mmm why is it that the goblin is so mad at the warrior..mmm*
[17:59] Dillard Bloobury grins, showing his teeth, "Why? Cause I call loud mouthed liars out on their bullshit? Yeah, that makes folks mad sometimes, but it don't bother me none."
[18:00] Pionia Destiny: Oh... he was here a minute ago,...
[18:00] Pionia Destiny: *shrugs her shoulders * probably he went to look for his dagger
[18:00] Azriel Danick: well in the future I will be more careful of the words I choose
[18:00] Dillard Bloobury laughs louder, "So ya can guarantee that no little dagger is anywhere 'round here, but ya don't even know how t' find a whole goblin? I figured you knew where he was at all times"
[18:00] Azriel Danick: I only meant that I was sure that the dagger was not here
[18:01] Dillard Bloobury doubles over laughing
[18:01] Pionia Destiny: *looks at the warrior.. and now she's impressed*
[18:01] Azriel Danick: well as this is the hall for all the guilds I'm sure he will be safe enough
[18:01] Pionia Destiny: *admires his patience and tact on dealing with the goblin..mmm smiles*

[18:01] Azriel Danick: of course there are things that might enjoy a little goblin dinner
[18:01] Pionia Destiny: Yes..
[18:02] Dillard Bloobury: "So ya know everything that's in them cabinets behind ya?"
[18:02] Azriel Danick: I'm sure he will turn up.. one way or the other
[18:03] Dillard Bloobury narrows his eyes and waits for a response
[18:03] Azriel Danick: Me? of course not I never look into others belongings
[18:03] Pionia Destiny: *gigles.. and wonders how much more patience the warrior have*
[18:03] Dillard Bloobury: "So you know the dagger, aint here. But ya also don't know what's in the cabinets? I don't think ya understand what yer sayin'"
[18:03] Azriel Danick: of course I do help take out the trash if needed* looks down at the goblin and smiles*
[18:04] Pionia Destiny: *shakes her head and giggles quietly*
[18:04] Azriel Danick: or remove unwanted guests if asked
[18:04] Dillard Bloobury puffs his chest out and narrows his eyes with a grin, "I ain't sure ya realized who yer talkin' to, boy. "
[18:05] Azriel Danick: nor you
[18:05] Pionia Destiny: *sighs and rolls her eyes... here it comes... *

[18:06] Dillard Bloobury: "I know I'm talkin' t' somebody that is still statin' facts that he can't back up. An' if ya wanna talk 'bout uninvited guests, I suggest ya talk with Minniver an' check t' see if my name is on yer guest lists. I'm far from new 'round here, boy."
[18:06] Azriel Danick: if you like Lady. I would be happy to escort you
[18:06] Pionia Destiny: some nice red wine.. sounds delightful..
[18:07] Azriel Danick: I didn't say you weren't
[18:07] Pionia Destiny: Sir, azriel.. Sir Dillard is an old villager and he came here as everybody else..
[18:07] Pionia Destiny: he's one of us..
[18:08] Dillard Bloobury laughs and shakes his head, "You might very well be th' dumbest person I ever met. An' that includes Nick an' Gadget."
[18:08] Pionia Destiny: and he's a wonderful dancer, too
[18:08] Azriel Danick: I'm sure he has and all are welcome of course
[18:08] Pionia Destiny: so.. shall we go for a drink.. smiles t the gentlemen..
