Part 4

Possums Arrival.

A collective sigh goes round the bar as it means no more free drinks!!!!
I’m back now, announces Possum, but it’s happy hour, so free drinks for everyone.
The bar cheers its appreciation & then everyone returns to there banter as Possum heads of to court the beautiful Starry.

Starry notices her permanent eyeliner, still on the counter & While Possum approaches, she points to a dark corner of the bar & Gasps!!!
Possum falls for the ploy….. She quickly pockets the graffiti evidence.
Starry rolls her eyes in wrymm’s direction as Possum makes small talk….

About that time Shark emerges from the kitchen with a platter of Minced Mud Wrench Pie, cut into pieces & topped with Ice Cream.
He pours the last of his bottle of crank oil juice over the top & strikes a match on the bar, WHOOSH!!.
Happy pig out folks, he says as he places the platter on the bar.

Greetings Possum, wrymm slaps possum on the back & he is lost for air for just a sec.
Thought we would come over & visit your Bar, as it is the only other drinking hole here abouts, We’re going to do some music later & we we’re wondering if you would be interested in rounding up a team for a Pub sports thingy one weekend?
Wrymm turns to the bar, Another beer keep, & one for the bar, my shout while they’re still free….

The tavern will be undergoing some repairs, says possum to all his new guests. I will be putting up a better stage for music & building more bathrooms & last but not least, I will have strippers!!!
Well well well, that’s something that could interest me, do you have wenches??
Starry gives wrymm a dirty look for his bad habits…
Well anyway, he continues, we brought 3 of our best & a couple of bathhouse girls in case Donk shows up.

With that said, wrymm grabs some Amra from the table & scoffs it down, Man that’s good, He rips his Nergal breastplate of & loads it up with amra pieces, grabs a bottle of crank oil juice & heads out to the veranda to enjoy his feast as the sun sets.

Inside, Starry stands & stretches as she yawns, the excellent meal, the long hard ride, & the numerous ales had taken their toll.
She heads up the stairs leading to the rooms above.
Entering the 1st room she sees finds one of the stable boys in the process of spending his newly earned gold with one of the wenches.
She takes 2 large strides & grabs the two by their freshly tousled hair, & throws them into the hallway, she scoops up their clothes & tosses them out after them.
Closing the door as she yawns deeply, she spreads her cloak over the bed & curls up to sleep, Chair wedged firmly against the door.

But in a dark corner…. .
