PA SYSTEM: Stories, poems, humor in the tavern beginning in a few moments. Come one come all and enjoy! Kaard strokes aurora's long soft hair and is settled Beowulf says: tia, begin when the tavern has settled a bit Doves walks in and sits mariah smiles at the pretty slaves, as her bells ping her exit tia nods, slipping to her knees so her shaking legs don't betray her, her carriage erect, eyes watching the tavern. Kaard looks to a girl yellow silked and known for skill with words. tia speaks softly, 'a girl has not been well, but was asked kindly by Master Kaard to prepare a poem for the city's celebration, and so has tried her best' tia takes a deep breath, "Of journeys and Birth" Kaard leans forward, listens Doves sits and listens quietly As mist lifts softly from the grass still moon-kissed so serene The morning light not yet arrived, but the promise is so clear The night sounds have gone silent, still, and quiet lies alone And stirring slightly comes the hint of daylight oh so near The creatures of night slip silently off as dawn opens her mantle wide and creatures of day, their songs awakened, greet her with eager wile She caresses the earth, the grass, the trees, and stones of man's creation Her beauty lights the day a-borning, a young city brightens with her smile The glow of the dawn on Kamba Bay, reflected with mirror like glaze A city founded of need, a homestone settled with pride, its citizens celebrate loudly For the day finds Baren Touhk, glowing, dressed in finest regalia A young city growing and learning together, announcing its birthday proudly From her highest tower, to market stalls, meadows green, rivers flow The pulse of the city ebbs and flows, each new day met with eager sight The citizens Free and slave alike, mingle in the city's embrace Poets and scribes, singers and bards, take note the days events to write Whispers of silks, vibrant on sensuous slave skin, swirl and cling colors of castes mix with energy and song, proud people showing their glee The citizens gather to festival events, enjoying the birthday throng Slaves dance and serve with passionate delight, their joy for all to see A happy occasion, Baren Touhk, one year and growing by the ahn Many friendships made, memories to hold close, things we won't forget Of the year gone by, and the years to come, the city and her people therein A family growing, a community built. Tal and greetings! Serve well, and well met! tia bows her head, taking a deep steadying breath, as she finishes. Kaard applauds loudly and with pleasure, clapping his hand to his shoulder repeatedly and solidly! Xavier claps loudly Beowulf smiles, pounding his chest as he applauds Kaard exclaims: Well done!! Givur applauds - smiling. Xavier says: well done tia nina smiles clapping Beowulf says: very well done tia Kaard drinks deeply.. deeply moved Beowulf says: a way with words you have girl Domerth applauds Givur most lovely tia says: thank Y/you all :) Flar applauds Doves claps softly ... smiles Kaard agrees with the consensus.. talent there Doves says: well Met ...

Kaard greets all who came in during the recital with hearty Tals of celebratory greeting. Kaard raises his mug to tia Beowulf smiles Givur sips his ale Beowulf says: Tal and greetings to our new arrivals Khazak says: Tal Doves says: tal to all who came in Flar says: Tal Gorean Beowulf says: next, we have our first girl. aurora, to the front Kaard releases aurora with a small nudge and grins. aurora looks up to Master Beowulf with a mischievous smile Beowulf chuckles and shakes his head aurora stands aurora says: aurora is known for her tales tia settles shaking hands back to her thighs and watches her sis aurora. Kaard smiles. Doves says: smiles knowing she is good aurora says: and she has one now to tell of our very own Councilman aurora says: Master Beowulf Beowulf arches his eyebrow Kaard grins widely. Beowulf blinks Beowulf asks: what? Beowulf says: oy vey Xavier chuckles.. Khazak says: Be well Givur snickers Beowulf says: tia, the bottle Kaard grips the edge of the low table and prepares Flar sits up listening tia giggles and moves to Master Beowulf with the apparently much needed bottle of ka-la-na. aurora averts her gaze from Master Beowulf ...looking quite serious Beowulf watches the first girl closely, taking a swig of the ka-la-na Domerth drinks his blackwine aurora says: it seems when he was young.... Givur composes himself aurora says: his parents wished him to learn of many things aurora says: and one summer as a lad..... aurora says: his father determined that Master Beowulf would work with a Peasant farmer in a nearby city....so he would grow to appreciate hard work and never look down on those of a lower caste aurora says: so off the boy was sent....to harvest the sul and sa-tarna Kaard listens with interest aurora says: one morning after showing Master Beowulf several times how to milk Banya the family's prime milk bosk....Master Beowulf was sent by the Peasant...to the barn....to milk the Banya Beowulf shakes his head aurora says: now...Banya was a cantankerous old bosk Doves says: smiles as I listen to the story aurora says: and as Master Beowulf sat on the stool to milk her....she kept flicking her tale in his face aurora says: this frustrated the boy so badly aurora says: being the proud Warrior that he is..... aurora says: he decided no mere bosk would get the best of him aurora says: so he tied her tail to a binding fiber and hoisted the fiber over the rafters and tied the bosk's tail high aurora says: he then proceeded to sit in the stool to milk Banya Beowulf slowly takes another drink, nodding, eyeing the first girl aurora says: but the old coot of a bosk...stepped on Master Beowulf's feet aurora says: he got very upset and took too more fibers and tied the bosk's two rear legs to the posts on either corner of the stall aurora says: once more the poor boy sat trying at last to get milk from the bosk Kaard chuckles openly. aurora says: it was then that ole Banya rebelled and shifted her body and totally knocked Master Beowulf off the stool Givur exclaims: oh my! Xavier chuckles Beowulf shakes his head Beowulf takes another drink Doves says: giggles aurora says: he rolled and flipped over spitting straw from his lips ...livid nina covers her smile with her hand aurora says: he then went to the front of the stall and tightly tied the bosk's front legs to the other posts near the front of the stall....satisfied the bosk could not move....he stepped to the rear of the stall and retightened the belt around his tunic Kaard shakes his head.. hides the less-then-dignified grin behind his blackwine aurora says: at that moment.......the Peasant's wife...and Master Beowulf's mother who came to see how the boy was doing arrived.... Givur says: you have to admire persistence aurora says: and..... Beowulf says: damn ornery bosk Kaard grins. aurora says: to this day...... Doves says: giggles aurora says: he's never been able to convince his mother...he was only trying to milk that bosk Givur guffaws! Beowulf rolls his eyes kallista laughs... lale smiles. Kaard laughs... a finer morality tale he's yet to hear nina laughs Domerth exclaims: Good one, aurora! Beowulf says: just goes to show I can tie a knot that'll hold a bosk Beowulf smiles aurora kneels beside her Master smiling Xavier smiles..and laughs Beowulf chuckles, shaking his head tiffany giggles quietly... Givur shifts up to make room for the Lady Beowulf says: thank you first girl for re-telling a, eh, memorable childhood event Beowulf says: hmph Beowulf smiles Leorah walks to Givur and sits next to him Kaard chuckles and sips.. summons his girl back to him. Safely out of Beowulf's immediate reach Doves says: humm what a story Beowulf says: ahem, and you all will promptly forget you heard such a tale :) Flar says: very good aurora Beowulf says: next up, we have Xavier Givur makes notes... Givur says: bosk, milk, Beowulf Beowulf says: hmph Flar says: has copies Beowulf can send you one Kaard leans aurora next to him, warmly and readies to listen to the next offering. Xavier stands..moving in amungst the crowds..before settling back down Domerth says: would make good copy for the Gazette Givur exclaims: Read all about it! Kaard's eyes alight, ah.. the Master Wordsmith himself. Xavier says: I have thought long and hard , thinking of this festival.. Xavier says: but there are sometimes more important things to speak about than mere pleasantries Doves says: watches Xavier ... Xavier looks around the room Kaard sits up and listens attentively. Xavier says: I often sit alone each day, Leorah asks: Such as Xavier? Leorah listens Xavier says: With writing stick in hand, And thank the Priest-Kings for the opportunity, To be a part of this glorious land.. Now Brother Kaard asked if I'd share a poem aurora curls against Master listening But I'm unsure of what it would say So I'll simply extend my hand and Thank each of Y/you today.. For without your steadfast patronage There would be nothing here you'd see, No festival, or merriments, or other pleasantries There'd be no Crimson Tavern, Or talender blooms of red No fortress to protect us Or halls to rest our heads.. There'd be no celebrations Or parades of silly slaves.. There'd be no smiling laughter On this the Happiest of days.. So you see My Friends, I thank you.. For all that you have done, To enrich our city of Baren Touhk To the stature it has become For each of you is special In your own particular ways.. And each of you, a Friend of mine.. Thank you Masters..Thank you Ladies, Thank you slave... Thank you all.. Xavier moves quietly back to his furs..near the hearth.. Kaard moves to his feet and steps forward to clasp the Wordsmith's hand and clap his shoulder... Givur is deeply moved by Xavier's words Beowulf smiles and applauds Kaard exclaims: Well spoken! tia claps softly. Xavier shakes Kaards hand.. Kaard smiles to Xavier.. "Very well spoken. Thank you." Kaard returns to his furs.. and settles back in. Smiles much Doves says: claps enjoying the words I have heard Beowulf says: well done Xavier Domerth says: Tal Caleb Leorah claps with her small gloved hands Beowulf stands in the center of the room lale smiles. Leorah says: Very nice, Xavier Xavier nods to Leorah Beowulf says: next up, kallista has a story to tell. Beowulf says: and this time, hopefully, its not of mme kallista says: yes Master Beowulf Beowulf smiles Leorah straighten up and listens to sexy kali Givur ooohs - liking sotries Beowulf says: kallista, to the front kallista smiles brightly as she sinks gracefully to her parting knees, blue eyes sparkling with excitement, she starts to tell her story in a soft clear voice about the beautiful Women stolen and turned into a slave... Beowulf says: ooh, nice one Kaard listens closely and smiles. lale smiles. kallista says: The night is warm; Spring has finally come to Gor. The beautiful women walks with graceful sure steps across the high bridge of Ar. Fearless of the dangers that lurk she holds her head proudly as a soft breeze whispers against her veiled face. Veils cover her delicate face and finely chisled chin, concealing luscious, warm, smiling lips and little buttom nose. Beowulf takes a quick sip of his ka-la-na kallista says: Only twinkling crystal blue eyes peek over the veils upon her beloved Homestone. All around her is beauty, light and towers rising high into the slowly fading blue sky being taken over by the shadows of the night. An excited Man in a robe of checkered red and yellow squares hurries back to His place, the players of the game pay no heed as their cries of Kaissa fill the air. Givur glances at Leorah Leorah smiles at Givur Caleb glances over at Leorah too Kaard grins behind his mug. cheri blinks kallista says: The women is stopped by a strong force forbidding her to pass. Slowly her soft blue eyes move up the rippling muscles of the tall Man standing in front of her, blocking her way and stopping her from moving past. With a cry of fright she turns, taking flight, slender ivory legs running and weaving as she quickly moves away from the hard dark eyes. Crouching quickly behind a stack of crates, her shapely body trembles in fear. Beowulf grins and takes a swig from his bottle kallista says: The women cries out in surprise, large, callused hands grabbing her from behind. A dirty rag is shoved under her veils into her small mouth causing her to gag, her stomach to churn, stopping her screams. A rep-cloth sack is pulled over her head isolating her from the fading light. She is thrown across a hard shoulder by strong arms. Her muffled cries, kicking, her robe-clad body wiggling and twisting...nothing can stop Him. Doves says: slowly stands and slips out to the garden kallista says: Tossed high into the air onto a waiting tarn, she is quickly tied with binding fibers around her tiny wrists and ankles the fibers fastened then to the front of a tran saddle. She cries out, piercing screams cut through her body, mixing with the loud wild call of the giant majestic bird as it takes wing. cheri watches, twirling a lock of hair around her fingertips idly. Caleb smiles down at natasha and pulls her cheek to his thigh, listening carefully about such a tragedy kallista says: The women feels the sack as it clings against her tear-stained cheeks, the cold air striking against her shivering body. After what seems like ahns she feels a change as the Tarnsman pulls hard on the straps used to guide the speeding creature. natasha rubs her cheek to his thigh her lips lightly kissing him she purrrss with delight to be at his feet. kallista says: The terrified women's head and stomach reels as the huge bird circles, losing altitude as they fall from the sky. Struggling to form her thoughts, she is lifted to the ground. The binding fibers and rep-cloth hood are untied and removed. Knowing -- at least hoping -- that soon she will be told the reason for her abduction, she takes a deep breath of the clean night air. kallista says: Rage flashes in her blue eyes as she spins around, ripping the rag from her sensuous mouth, demanding the reason, the explanation for the assault on her. Stamping her small foot, she holds her hands against the soft roundness of her hips and waits for His answer. kallista says: The answer is a wicked laugh, and she shudders in fear. Crying out she runs into the night, her eyes darting from side to side as the veils hiding her frightened face snap against her flushed skin, breasts bouncing, chest heaving, as her tiny slippered feet try to out-distance the Master. A moan of despair flies from her soft pink lips when the folds of her light blue robe catch against an unknown something in the dark. kallista says: Small, trembling hands pull in vain to free the robe, she is pulled roughly around and binding fibbers tied tightly, holding her hands behind her back. With a push she is guided along the rooftop, down many flights of stairs to a heavy wooden door. A second rough push thrusts her into a large room. Her slippered feet make a soft shuffling noise as she moves before a broad wooden dais on which sits a tall chair. kallista says: She takes an involuntary step backwards as she watches a giant of a Man rise from the chair and walk towards her. Paralyzed with fear, she stands looking up at Him. Her dazed eyes watch but do not truly see as He cuts away her fine robes. Shaking her head she tries to kick out, trying with all her power to stop Him from pulling the veils from her face. cheri listens thoughtfully kallista says: Her soft slippers are ripped from her feet, her stockings pulled down over her ankles. Her beautiful face stripped. Sobbing, she stands in a large cold room, naked before Men she has never laid her eyes upon, trembling in fear, shame and anger, listening to the Master's calm voice give orders on her care. kallista says: She stands straight to her full height, holding her head high. She looks up into the Master's eyes. She wants to go home NOW---He has made a mistake. Her Father would pay many gold coins for her release. Hot tears flow when the Master and His Tarnsman laugh uproariously. Givur grins kallista says: The women listens in terror as the Master turns to the Tarnsman directing that the new slave be taken to the slave pen. With the arrival of the new day she is to be collared, whipped and branded then brough to Him, so He can see if His property is marked as He wished. kallista says: She cries out furiously, screaming, kicking, trying to pull free of the strong arms that pull her from the room dragging her down the halls until they reach the long stairwell. kallista says: Her cries grow louder and more desperate with each floor they pass, until she feels the cold damp floor deep within the walls of the keep. A dark hole lit by two lanterns, the chamber filled with cages, each having four girls laying on musty straw. A pungent oder fills the large, dank room. kallista says: She moans as a cage is opened and she is forced inside. Strong hands hold her face down in soiled straw while a metal shackle is snapped shut around her left ankle; a length of chain runs from the shackle to a bolt at the rear of the cage. The binding fiber is cut from her wrists. The door of the cage is closed with a loud CLICK. kallista says: The women begs for mercy as the lanterns are extinguished and she is left in darkness. Sobbing her shame and degradation, only faintly aware of the quiet breathing of the other girls, she pulls her small body tightly into a ball and sinks into a exhausted sleep. Kaard listens. kallista says: The following morning her exhausted body is dragged before the Master. A hard, cold collar is secured around her slender neck. The lashes of a whip evident, crisscrossing her ivory body from her high round breasts to her firm thighs. She is ordered to turn, to show more red streaks lining her smooth back to her bottom. Her painful left leg barely holds her as she steps before the dais, a changed women. kallista says: The girl whimpers softly when the Master grabs a handful of flame-red hair, yanking her head back, and kisses her full on the mouth, violently. Her lips quiver in fear and weak resistance, at first, until she feels a fire ignite deeply inside her belly. Moist red lips part in sweet surrender, her lithe body molding itself against Him when He pulls her closer. kallista says: A girl drops to her knees before the Master, bending at her slender waist, she touches her burning cheek against the cold tiles. She takes Masters right foot in her trembling hands and places it upon her neck. Extending her arms she crosses her wrists and with a passion filled voice the new slave whispers... kallista says: "La kajira" kallista closes her eyes as her story is concluded cheri claps and smiles. natasha claps..... Givur smiles lale claps softly, enjoying her sister's story. Kaard applauds. Beowulf grins and claps Kaard claps his hand to his shoulder and applauds Givur says: a well told tale Domerth applauds loudly and smiles at little kali Caleb says: very nice... a woman finds her place lale smiles. kallista smiles shyly Beowulf grins Kaard drinks deeply after the tale. Wipes his mouth on his sleeve. Beowulf takes a quick sip cheri smiles and ruffles kali's hair, hugs her tiffany smiles and claps... Beowulf stands up Beowulf says: thank you kallista, well done kallista stands and quietly moves back to the furs and drifts lightly to the furs. kallista says: thank You Master Beowulf :) Beowulf says: next Givur has something to share Beowulf smiles Beowulf steps back again, sitting down natasha nuzzles Master Calebs leg her body presses tight against his leg Givur drains his goblet of ale and stands Caleb mutters something under his breath as Givur takes the stage Caleb grins tia smiles at Master Beowulf as He takes His seat again. Givur moves to the center of the room Domerth drinks his blackwine Kaard looks to the Merchant Givur says: You all will know that my last poem peom was rather short aurora giggles Givur says: This one is longer cheri smiles brightly seeing serafina Kaard smiles.. "sera.. come!" Kaard chuckles. Beowulf grins serafina hurries in and kneels at her Master's feet aurora skoots over to make room for serafina Givur says: but still brief cheri giggles softly at Master Givur Givur clears his throat... Caleb thinks the prelude is getting long Kaard leans over and kisses serafina his own greeting, and nestles her near. He listens. serafina presses close as she listens natasha giggles softly. Givur says: If one were to wander Givur says: Through Gor it its very ends Givur says: One could not find a fairer City Givur says: Nor sweeter slaves Givur says: Nor better firends. Givur says: ~friends Doves wanders in. Doves says: comes back holding a hand full of flowers and sits once more Givur bows.. and retakes his seat aurora smiles Kaard applauds! Caleb whistles and howls Beowulf grins, clapping lale smiles and claps at Master Givur's poem. natasha applauds..... Kaard claps his hand to his shoulder and applauds.. all misty-eyes Kaard says: Well said, friend. Kaard greets the Lady Doves with a warm smile Doves says: smiles softly Beowulf smiles cheri smiles and clapsss Doves says: nods and smiles to Kaard natasha natasha Beowulf takes center pit once again Beowulf looks around cheri watches Kaard grins... looking forward to that name Beowulf says: I believe we've got a miscreant slaver running around here somewhere aurora giggles Beowulf takes a pouch from his bag, tossing it to the floor aurora looks up to the rafters Doves says: looks around for her friend pip A cloud of smoke erupts! Pip wanders in. trumpets sound! Pip exclaims: Pip is heeeeeeere! cheri smiles Pip bows and bows and tumbles through the floor. Beowulf chuckles and shakes his head natasha giggles Pip jumps and shakes beowulfs hand jauntily! Beowulf shakes Pip says: Why thankee Master Beowulf... Pip holds out a pouch full of coins... Pip says: Fer such a fine payment for me services doncha know Pip grins slyly Kaard grins and applauds!

Pip says: Now... a story a story ole Pip has a story Pip says: But first Pip scampers to the Lady Doves and smells her bouquet Doves watches closely Pip smells her basket of flowers too doncha know and snags a blossom to put in her hair.

"MEAN looking fellers.. with bloodshot eyes and dripping fangs" Pip stands up and sniffs a blossom and quietly says, "or so the story goes" aurora giggles cheri tries not to grin as she listens in interest. Pip says: And for time after time we defended ourselfs against the onslaught of these soldiers fer hire.. until the story I tell ye now kallista laughs softly Doves says: giggles Givur asks: my relatives? Pip bows humbly, "a'call'd.. the Last Battle for Baren Touhk" Caleb scratches his head as he tries to figger out the dialect... satisfied he must be from Turia Beowulf chuckles Beowulf says: one of the wagon people, must be Pip slips and skips to a roost to speak, "now one day the Captain of these marauders, one Captain Kip by name (no relation) Pip says: Did lead his army of men thru the jungles of Schendi and to the forests outside, sneaking and skulking about in the thick mornin' fog looking to attack all unawares and such Pip exclaims: When lo and behold! Pip says: The army skulking thru the thick fog.. fog so thick you could barely see a tharlarion's length ahead o ye and they espies a man Pip exclaims: A lone man! Pip exclaims: Who called out, "Your mothers collectively serve in the pleasure palaces of the Ubar of Thieves!" Pip says: Or something to that effect cheri watches and listens curiously. Pip says: Suffice it to say me friends all, these mercenaries were much enraged, especially one big feller who had no mum Pip says: So he runs forward sword a'rais'd and into the fog he disappears. Caleb says: poor guy Pip says: Well all is quiet now and the army is listenin' Pip exclaims: And a scream is heard! Pip says: So Cap'n Kip who cared little for his men, but didn't care to report back to Schendi sent a division of soliders into that fog. Pip says: and as the fog closed in...

And the fog clears for a moment, and it's that one same man again Pip says: And he's a'jumping and a wagging his behind at the army aurora smiles Pip says: So Kip he gets all enraged doncha know and sends the entire army into that fog to make mincemeat outta that one affronterous man Pip leans over and whispers to Beowulf, "a mince being a kind of bat found in the south.. mincemeat bein' quite the delicacy doncha know" Pip says: So Kip he stands there and watches the fog swallow up his troops out of site and he sits there and waits for them to come back with the man's head on a pole Pip exclaims: And the sound!
