The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Jake began to toss and turn in his bed...he couldn't sleep with a sore head. Jake got up out of his bed to see if the bar was still open. He wanted some alcohol so that he could forget about the pain in his head.

The bar was still open, but had nothing left to drink except for water. There was a priestess there whose magic could cure the pain... she was asleep on the counter, with her head down on it while sitting in the chair...

There was a bartender, but the waitresses were all passed out on the floor... one of them kept repeating the name "Adykon"...

"grrr......that's the female that fell on me...." thought Jake angrily in his head. Jake turned to the bartender "do you have any alcohol left from the party?.......just nod if it's a yes"

"I've got some water... but that priestess can help you... hey priestess, can you help this guy?" the bartender said.

Shal'thzar walked into the Inn in search of a place to sit. As she entered, she noticed that the Inn sounded unusually quite except for the sound of an occasional "Adykon". Then she remembered: It was females night last night.. And i missed it! Shal'thzar snickered to herself.

After trying not to step on any sleeping females, Shal'thzar finally made her way to the bar. She searched for a place to sit and found a stool to sit on, convenient next to Jake even though she was unaware she was sitting next to him..

Meanwhile...

"So, Ver. What did you learn in school yesterday? It's been a while since we last spoke" Ophion asked his eldest son.

"I studied the basic principles of thaumaturgy and alteration. Basically, those are two ways to change the physical world around ourselves. The former is a way to change the essences underlying the world, and the latter is a way to change the manifestations of the those essences, which we call 'everyday items' I also learned..."

He went on like that. Every day. Father always asked him what he had learned, and listened to every last word of it. Every. Last. Boring. Word. He didn't listen to Kria in the same way... no... he liked his wizard child... a wizard like him. A chip off the old block... the smart one in the family... she hated that. Why should his "brilliant thoughts" matter more than her deepest feelings?

Within a minute, a glass of water was passed to Jake by a barmaid...

"No charge for the water... do you want to hear what services are also offered here?" the barmaid said.

(OOC: He spoke to the Dracons before)

"We are already speaking the same language, human" the barmaid said. "No need to insult the way we speak."

(I thought they spoke with roars and such?)

"sorry, originally it was a bit hard to understand you earlier....." said Jake, then Jake thought something nasty in his head "probably because i don't care what these animals have to say".

(Jake didn't say the nasty thought)

(OOC: It was long established that they spoke in Draconic, which is an actual language made for the D&D game. We're just "translating" the speech into English)

Meanwhile...

Ophion's family had finished breakfast and departed for their daily tasks. Ophion and Aurescia went to open their shop, Kos, Ver and Kria went to their school. She also had a dance lesson after school was out for the day.

(OOC: You will have to say that he understands it, unless you retcon half of your posts! :lol  If he even spoke to them once and they understood him, he can speak their language)

The bar began to clear out and clean up, as the females gradually woke up and stumbled out... there would be a large batch of eggs from this night... and a lot of fatherless children...

Jake picked up the glass of water and he began to drink it. He didn't pause once to take a breath. Jake had drank all of the water in the glass in a timespan of 6 seconds (i can actually do that). "ahh....that was good....." said Jake "uhh....but my head still aches....i'm goin' back to bed..." Jake got off of the stool and he was about to leave for the stairs.

(OOC: And why does Jake's head keep hurting? He was healed at least once... and I can do that water thing too!  :lol )

Several maids were busy cleaning the common room of the inn... the place was becoming tidy again at an amazing rate... soon, the first regular guests of the day would arrive...

"Here you go" the barmaid said, fetching some water. "Were you at the party last night? Countless females were..."
